Three Dixon's

Chapter 17:

I hug him close and look at the baby infront of me.

I watch as Little man/Oscar and Axcel walk towards where Glenn is at.

I lead Carl into the cleared Cell and sit him down, hugging him closely to me.

He cuddles next to me with his baby sister in his hands.

I feel myself cry so I quickly get up and run to my cell.

I then slam the cell door and throw myself on the bed, smacking the wall at the lost of 3 people.

"Just kill me.." I whisper
Then I hear someone walk in and sit on the bed
"Hailey, it'll be okay" whispers Beth
"No it won't!" I cry out
"Yes it w-" I cut her off
"Lori, Carol and t-dog just died!" I yell in anger and tears
"Calm down" says Beth pulling me into a hug
I make my head fall on her shoulder as tears run down my cheeks.
"Why did it happen to her" I whisper
"Look Hailey, people are going to die but you need to be ready fir that" she says moving my hair out of my face
I nod and get up, wiping my tears away and walking towards Carl and the unnamed baby girl, noticing its dark out.

I look at the cell entrance and see Daryl run in, taking the baby girl away from carl.

He puts a bottle In her mouth and shh's her.

Carl looks at the baby intrigenly

I smile as Daryl feeds her
"She got a name yet?" Asks Daryl
"Not yet. I was thinking maybe sophia, Carol too and Andrea, Amy, Jacquie, patricia or...Lori. i don't know" he says hesitating on Lori then turning away
I walk up to him and bring him into my arms as I hug him, het turns back towards daryl holding my hand tightly
"Yea, you like that? Huh? Little ass kicker. Right? Thats a good name huh?" he says
We all laugh
"Little ass kicker, You like that. Huh? Little ass kicker. You like that sweet heart" says Daryl
I smile and put my head on Carl's shoulder.
"How about Judith" I whisper in his ear
He smiles slightly at that but keeps him mouth close.

"Wait" I move my head away from Carl's and back away
"Where's Jacob?" I ask
"He died." Says Beth, her eyes dropping
I nod and say "I'm tired...I'm heading to bed"
And with that I walk towards my cell and lay on the bed, closing my eyes.

Next day.

I open my eyes and stretch out my hands tiredly as I notice Carl with his hands wrapped around my waist.

I quietly unwrap his arms and follow Daryl when I see him walk by the cell.

I keep following as he walks towards Carol's grave and stops.
I stop also as he kneels down beside her grave.

I walk behind Daryl as he puts down a flower.

"I don't think she's dead" I whisper
Daryl turns towards me and I hug him tightly.
"Let's go inside" he says

I nod and walk back towards the prison.

Few minutes later.

I grab a plate of bread and water, picking at it.

"You need to eat" whispers Daryl
"I'm not hungry" I say
"Eat" he says pointing at my food.
I nod and take a spoon full of the food as Rick walks in but I ignore thr conversation.

I stuff more food but they catch me when they say their going on a run.

"I want to come too. Please" I say
They nod and I smile slightly "thank you" I say
I then spoon more food as I shove my elbow into Carl's stomach.
"Come on eat. Your mom wouldn't want this" I whisper
He sighs and eats the food.
I kiss his forehead as I get up and walk towards the cell.

I then grab my bag and change into my hunting clothes as combat boots, putting my usual beanie on.

I then walk back to everyone else and walk towards Beth who has the still unnamed baby.

"Can I hold her?" I ask
She nods and hands her to me
"Hey little ass kicker"I whisper, kising her forehead and making her giggle
"You do like that huh?" I say putting my finger next to her hand.
She grips it tightly and I can't help but smile.
"Your really good with her" says Beth
"Oh..um..yea" I say remembering something

Flashback

"This is how you take care of a baby" says my Child care teacher
"Like this?" I ask picking up the baby and cooing it
She nods and gives me a thumbs up. I can't help but smile.

End of flashback

"I had a special class for kids" I say hugging little ass kicker close
"She's so adorable" I say
"She reminds me of Lori" I add, pulling my finger away
Beth smiles and I hand her back to Beth.

She takes her. I smile and walk outside, not feeling well.
