A Grimes and A Dixon

Chapter 12

Alli's POV

I was sleeping when I heard someone saying my name which was my mom's voice, "No." I groaned. She opened the tent and looked at me, "You're still sleeping?" She asked. I nodded, "I was." I said. "Sorry I just need to talk to you about something." She said. "Okay." I said.

She looked at Beau who was passed out his arm around my waist tightly, "He's not going to let me up." I said. She sat in the chair in our tent, "It's been his thing since I got shot mom he's protective." I said running my fingers through Beau's hair. She smiled, "Is everything okay?" I asked. "Yeah." "Dad and Carl okay?" I asked. She nodded, "Yeah they're fine Carl actually is waiting for Beau to get up." She said. "Yeah good luck with that he's a decent sleeper." I said. Mom smiled, "I have something to tell you." She said. I looked at her then grabbed one of her hands and gave it a squeeze telling it was okay with whatever she was going to tell me. 

She took a deep breath then looked me in the eyes, "I am pregnant." I looked at her with wide eyes and went quiet then turned to her again. I didn't fully sit up but was on my elbows processing I was going to have another younger sibling, "Say something honey." She said. "I am sorry I am just processing that I am going to be an older sibling again." I said. "You're not mad?" "Mad no I am excited." I said smiling at her. She smiled back and gave me a hug which I gave her one back.

"Does dad know?" I asked. "Yes he's not talking to me." She said. I looked at her, "Is it...." "It's your fathers. That's all that matters." She said putting her hands on my face. "Okay mom." "Does he know about you and..." Mom nodded wiping her tears. I made her look at me, "It's okay mom." "No you were mad at us for the longest time." "I wasn't mad at you mom I was mad at Shane." I said. She smiled softly, "You thought dad was dead don't blame yourself."

She smiled at me and put a hand on my cheek, "You know I love your father right?" I nodded which she sniffled, "You, Carl and your father mean the world to me and so does this baby. I want you to remember that." She said. "I know mom. I love you too." She smiled at me then kissed my head.

"Congrats." A sleepy voice of my boyfriend said. I looked at him, "How much did you hear?" Mom asked. "I woke up when someone said pregnant." Beau said sitting up. "That's the word you hear out of all of that?" I asked. "What it could be you." I slapped his shoulder which he gave me the what was that for look.

Mom chuckled, "It's okay I know you two have been fooling around." Mom said. "What?" I asked her. "Thought we were being sneaky." Beau said. "Bear I have known you for seventeen years I know when you are doing stuff." She said booping my nose. "Does..." Beau was saying. "No Rick doesn't know." Mom said. I smiled softly at her she looked at our hands, "Let me see those." Mom said seeing my hand and Beau's.

I let her see the promise ring, "That is adorable." She said. "You and Rick do something?" I asked. "Sorta." She said. "It was me wasn't it?" I asked. "No." She said. "You guys got married literally seven months before I was born." I said. She laughed, "Get up breakfast is ready." Mom said. "Yes ma'am." Beau and I said. She smiled softly then zipped the tent back up.

"Out of all that you heard pregnant?" I asked. "Well you never know. I just want you to know if it was true I would still stay with you because I do want a family some day." I put my hand on his cheek, "I want it with you. I love you so fucking much Grimes it hurts." "I love you too Dixon that I don't know what I would do without you." We leaned in kissing in a soft, short and sweet kiss then got up and dress for the day.

We got out of our tent Beau's arm around my shoulders as mine was around his waist as we walked over for breakfast, "Alli, Beau come sit next to me." Carl said running over hugging my side. We sat next to my brother as we are breakfast.

I looked to see my best friend walking over with a strange look on his face, "Glenn wants some food?" I asked holding a plate to him. He didn't take it just stood there, "Pizza boy you okay?" Beau asked. He mumbled something, "What?" I asked. "The barns full of walkers." He said louder which this time everyone heard.
