The Huntress - Daryl Dixon BOOK ONE

Part 12

Prison

Rick and Daryl ending up killing the man prisoner, he nearly killed Rick on multiple occasions and he wasn't a very nice guy, they left one in the hallway of the tombs where multiple walkers where, two was left a big guy and a small scruffy guy, Rick said they could stay but in a separate cell block as he still didn't trust them which I understand I don't know if I do.

Right now it's been a few days and Hershel is up and about, Beth cut his trouser leg so he doesn't trip on it and on our last run we found crutches for him, Lori is very very close to giving birth any day now.

You was teaching Carl some more hand to hand combat outside, Daryl, Glenn and Rick was down by the opening of the gates , on the other side of the  fence, the sound of the metal gates moving pulled you both away from what you was doing, your heart leaps out your chest as the sweet old man hobbles down the steps "GO Hershel!" Glenn shouts from the fence only to be shushed by Rick as the walkers got closer, the smiles on everyone's face made my day I haven't seen them in a while.

"Want to do some combat Hershel" everyone laughs "give me another day and your on" you smile brightly, that is until Carl speaks up "WALKERS!" You look around heart race as you quickly run to Hershel, Beth and Maggie moving them to the caged area, you look and see Rick Daryl and Glenn shouting whilst running trying to reach us, t dog and Carol went one way and Lori Carl and I had to go another as we got surrounded.

we was being pushed further and further into the tomb "AHHH!" Lori screamed holding her back you cringe at the noise knowing it will bring more walkers "hey hey come on we got to go back " you rubbed her back "no no I can't I think the babies comming" your heart dropped at the bad timing "okay okay we need to find somewhere to hold out" Carl looked around finding a boiler room "come on come on in here" he shouts you both over "AHHH, THIS BABY IS COMING I GOTTA PUSH" Lori cried holding on to some pipes "okay okay the baby is coming fuck! Carl I'm going to need your help, help your mother stay up I gotta check she's ready" I have never done anything like this in my life, the fear was real, hershal had been training Carol I'd only watch from the outside sometimes

"ohhh goddd I got to push" Lori started pushing you pulled her pants down blood pooled on your hands "hey hey you got to stop somethings wrong" you show her your bloody hands "come on we have to go back" "no I can't the baby is coming right now" "Lori I don't know what I'm doing I have no idea what to do your bleeding a lot" she looked at you with sad eyes " I know what you have to do, I had to have a c section with Carl" Carl started crying you gasped "no no no we have no medication I don't even have a knife please Lori let's just go" you begged the woman again, "Carl has a knife please I can't loose my baby" she smiled whilst crying at me "your die I can't" "I will probably die either way this just gets the baby out quicker"

she looks at you "thank you for saving my boy, I've been so jealous of you and the relationship you have with both of them" your taken back with what she says "I know if Rick was with anyone I'd want it to be you and your be a brilliant mum to this baby please like you are to Carl" Carl looks at you, your shocked "Lori me and Rick are nothing he's my best friend, I promise you, I'm not trying to replace you, you are the mother" "you have been better at it than I have lately, and this baby will need a mother figure in its life please" she begged and cried

"Carl your going to beat this world, your going to let lyric look after you, your going to be you, I love you my boy so much" she cried hugging Carl, tears streaming down your face "please lyric promise you will look after them three" you nod tears streaming, you grabbed the knife from Carl both a mess as we know she's not going to make it "I will I promise, I'm so sorry this is going to hurt so much"

you wince as you started cutting trying to be careful of the baby "AHHHHH!!!!" "STOP IT YOUR KILLING HER!!" Carl screamed at me "NO, don't baby I'm fine, your fine, I love lo" Lori passed out not finishing her sentence, Carl looked at you sadness in his eyes, you pulled the baby out "fuck fuck she's not breathing shit" you quickly laid the baby on your legs ripped off your t shirt having nothing else to wrap the baby in "come on baby come on we can't loose you to" you start rubbing and patting her back, tears still streaming blood all over you.

Carl was over his mother giving her one final kiss, the noise of the alarms had finally stopped, "Carl baby come on we got to get back find your dad" "we can't we can't leave her here she's going to turn" you nod understanding grabbing the knife again "no I'll do it she's my mum," he disappeared round by her body, couple seconds later the sound of a shot sounded out, the baby jumped away and screamed once more, Carl walked past a dead look in his eyes as he grieves his mum.

"Has anyone still not seen them, where are they they should be back by now" Rick shouts to the others as you and Carl walk down the stairs, you open the gate, the squeeking from that and the crying from the baby brings everyone's attention towards you three "no no noo, where is she noo" you couldn't hold the tears you cried a lot "Rick I'm sorry I'm so sorry" you tried touching him but he backed away moving towards Carl as he cries "no no no oh no Carl" he falls to the floor.

you look round at everyone sad eyes on you, Daryl comes over seeing how your handling this and pulls you and baby into a hug " I couldn't do anything else, I didn't know what to do, I'm so sorry" you cried into his shoulder his warm arms wrapped around you, you was so glad he was okay and he was glad you was, " let me look" Hershel walked over " definitely a girl, she seems healthy, she's going to be fine as long as she feeds and soon" " nope nope we are not loosing anyone else" Daryl snaps grabbing his things to go on a run, you walk close to him holding the baby "I'll come" he looked at you to the Baby and back to Carl as Rick storms into the cell blocks  "no you should stay here, they need you" you nod understanding, Maggie came up behind you "I'll go, the clothes we collected on runs for baby are in loris cell" she smiled small at me, I nodded "thank you" "be safe please" you spoke to the both of them, you reached over and kisses Daryl on his cheek, shocking not only yourself but Daryl and the others as they watched, your cheeks went bright red, embarrassed about what you have done.

you turned walked up to Carl ignoring the others "come on baby let's go" you grabbed his shoulders as you walked back inside, "we need to get her dressed before she freeze" Carl smiled slightly at you "come here" you offered him a hug, at first not knowing if he would take it but he flew right into your arms and cried his eyes out "I'm so sorry Carl" "you don't have to be I know you didn't want to do it, I'm glad I still have you and dad and now her" your heart swelled "I will always be here for you all, you your dad and this baby mean a lot to me" you laid the baby down after getting her dressed, pulled Carl close as you all slept, sleeping off the pain and the stress from today

About an hour  later  you was woken by Daryl, "hey come on we got her formula" you smiled up at him, Carl was no longer by you as you picked up the baby and walked out to the round table "here let me" Daryl picked up the baby "yeah you like that lil ass kicker, you like that huh, is that your name lil ass kicker" everyone laughs never thinking they would see the day the big scary cross bow man coos at a baby, tears find your eyes again as you watch him, 'god I think I'm in love' you speak to yourself in your head, watching the man that has been there for you everyday since finding them.
