40) Glenn

Alicia had taken a nap after she and Maggie got back to the prison. She woke up feeling a hell of a lot better.

She looked around her cell, surprised that Daryl wasn't in there already to check on her. She shrugged, figuring he was giving her some space.

Alicia walked out into the cell block noticing the sad looks everyone was giving her. She just ignored them, looking around for Daryl. She furrowed her brows, noticing she couldn't find him... and she couldn't find Merle either.

"Where's Daryl?" She asked wearily as Glenn started to walk towards her. He stayed silent. "Glenn where's Daryl?"

"He went with Merle." He sighed.

Alicia could feel the tears pricking in her eyes. "What do you mean? When he be back?" As Alicia looked at Glenn face she realized. "He's not coming back."

Glenn shook his head, watching as Alicia fought back the tears. She put a hand on her stomach becoming painfully aware that she was pregnant.

He reached out, putting his hand in her shoulder. "He told me to tell you that... Alicia he loves you." He watched as a tear fell down her face.

She quickly wiped it away, her face becoming cold again. "If he wants to be with his brother then that's his choice." She snapped. "Not my fault if he's not gonna help me raise his baby."

Glenn shook his head. "You're not doing this alone." He said sincerely. "You've got me. You've always got me."

She smiled, kissing his cheek. "Thanks Glenn."

He watched as she walked away, thinking back to what Daryl said before he left.

"What are we supposed to tell Ali? You're gonna kill her." Glenn said, looking at Daryl.

He shook his head, looking down at his feet. "Tell her I love her. She... she has to understand. I can't leave Merle out here."

Glenn scoffed. "What if you never see her again? What if we leave the prison?"

Daryl sighed. "Then I have to live with the fact that I left my wife- Alicia... by herself. That's on me man."

"Your wife." Glenn shook his head. "And your kid."

"She's not my wife." Daryl said, walking away. "She's not."

Alicia ran to the little sink in one of the unoccupied cells. She grabbed the sides, throwing up into it. She groaned, throwing up some more.

She felt a pair of hands pull her hair back. "Breathe through." Glenn's voice soothed her.

Finally it was over and she slid onto the ground, her head pounding. "Being pregnant sucks." She groaned.

Glenn chuckled, sitting down beside her. She leaned her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. "I miss him."

He nodded, wrapping an arm around her. "I'm sure he misses you."

Alicia sighed, looking up at him. "I really hope so. I hope he misses me so fucking bad." She let a tear fall. "I want him to come back. I want him to come back so I can slap him... and then I'm gonna hug him. So damn hard."

Glenn laughed. "Trust me you won't be the only one who slaps him. Maggie's been sharpening her knife."

Alicia laughed. "Dale told me if he pulled a stunt like this he would kick his ass."

Glenn chuckled. "In honor of Dale... I'll gladly kick his ass if he comes back." He kissed her temple, smiling at her. "It's all gonna be ok. You know that right?"

She nodded. "I know I have you. Ive got you, Maggie, Beth, Carol, hell even Hershel looked a little pissed."

Glenn nodded, nudging her shoulder. "We've got your back. As your adoptive little brother... you can always come to me. Even if it is three in the morning."

"Thanks." She chuckled. "I love you Glenn."

"I love you too Ali."
