The air shifted , smiles broken , laughter silenced. Replaced with the growls of the dead, my heart plummeted as I look around at my family stuck in a giant cage now filled with a herd of walkers. I quickly grab Carl's arm and my mom's as I pull them behind me before shooting the ones that get to close , muscle memory kicking in as every shot lands between the eyes.

" MAGGIE ! Get Hershel!" I scream as I see two walkers heading right for him , he struggles to get away but lucky Beth steps in stabbing the first through the head as Maggie shoots the other , they run up to a fenced area " Get inside find a locked room !" Hershel shouts to us , I nod guiding my mom and brother inside.

My heart racing as we run into the canteen but another group of walkers cuts us off , " Quick this way !" Carl says as we head down the corridor, the blaring alarms piercing my ears as we turn every corner looking for a way out.

My gun clenched in my hand ready to kill but suddenly mom stops as leans against the wall groaning in pain " what's wrong ?!" I ask panic raising. " Somethings not right.." she whimpers , "you bit ?" Carl asks his voice wavering , "no , I think the baby's coming" she replies and I lose my breath.

Before I can respond another group of walkers round the corner " There's no time !" I shout as I grab mom off the wall letting her lean on me as I follow Carl through the maze of corridors. We get cut of at every turn but I spot a room " In there !" I shout as Carl opens the door and I help mom inside before locking it behind us.

It seems to be some sort of boiling room , moms painful groans fill the air as she clutches her stomach, " Mom maybe you should lie down" I suggest but she cuts me off " No the baby's coming now"

" Well then we need to get back to the cells for supplies , we need Hershel" I say rushed anxiety building up . " We can't risk going back out there" She replies.

"I need to deliver here" she confirms as she turns to look at me , I swallow nervously , I mean Hershel taught be a-bit about how to deliver but that doesn't fill me with much confidence. But I put on a brave face as I nod " Let's get your pants off then" I say helping her to the ground.

"Carl your going to have to help me okay, you up for this ?" I ask him and he nods coming beside me , I take a deep breath before continuing " Okay let me check if your dilated" I say looking down , " you know how?" Carl asks and I nod " Hershel taught me some things just in case"

My hands shake as I try to do the exam but all the knowledge wont come to me " I-I can't tell" I say scared my mom grabs my hand comfortingly " It's okay sweetie , I know I need to push now" she says letting out another painful groan, I nod as she starts pushing as she yells.

"Your doing great mom , just keep going your body knows what to do" I say reassuringly as I can , I look over to Carl who looks horrified I give him a nod assuring him it's going to be fine, but suddenly she screams in agony. I look down to see a pool of blood " STOP ! Don't push somethings wrong" I shout .
