Months had passed and now were in the beginning of spring. Flowers bloomed, small bugs fluttered about, and birds chirped their mating songs as they tried to score a partner. Y/N stares out the window at the vast open land that's now littered with tiny buds and tall grass. "This is weird.." she states as she grabs the small mug away from Anjelo, the second he hands it to her. His head tilts in question. "What's weird? It's spring, and I don't know about you, but I would rather it be this instead of winter. That shit was hell." Y/N furrows her brows and shakes her head, "Not that. We haven't seen any of the undead in a while.." Now, Anjelo furrows his brows in return as he glances out the window before turning away and patting his friend's shoulder. "Maybe they're like birds but the opposite." "Opposite?" Y/N asks while a brow arches in the air. "Yeah! Like they migrate with the cold!"

The dual-dyed female stares at the gay male for a few minutes, blinking multiple times. "Anjelo, sweetie pie, I love you, but I don't think-" "They might! You never know!" Y/N rolls her eyes as she walks away with the cup in her hands. "You know I'm right!" Anjelo calls from his spot by the window, the female's comment lingering in the back of his head, silently wondering the same thing. "So, what are we gonna eat today?" Ayden questions as she walks in the kitchen with her hair wrapped up in a towel. "Maybe pancakes?" "Pancakes again? Y/N, we've had those for months now. Can't we have something else?" Y/N glares at Ayden as she slams her hands on the table, "We're eating pancakes!" Ayden's movements pause as she looks at the other women in shock, her brain on overload as she tries to calculate the sudden burst of anger. "Okay, okay.." Ayden holds her hands up in surrender, "I was just asking.."

Y/N sighs as she rubs her temples. "I didn't mean- I didn't-" Ayden furrows her brows as her eyes scan over Y/N's frame. She stares at Y/N's frame for a few more seconds before getting close to her. "You aren't bipolar, are you?" Now it's Y/N's turn to furrow her brows, "No?" Ayden watches her friend closer, trying to note the way her body moves. "And how many months has it been since you slept with my brother?" Y/N pauses as her hand automatically rests against her stomach, her body being hidden under the oversized shirt she wore. The movement was almost second nature to her, which makes the question all that much more urgent and the stakes higher. "Y/N.. How long has it been?" Y/N swallows harshly, "A month? M-Maybe two.." Ayden's movements come to a screeching halt as she walks over to her. "Please say that you're joking."

Y/N says nothing as she looks at the other female, her stomach flipping in knots. Ayden grabs her hand before dragging her towards the bedroom she shares with Angelo, shutting the door once they both enter. "Lift your shirt and turn to the side." the brunette commands as she stands in front of her friend. "Any morning sickness? Irritability? Mood swings?" Another head shake from Y/N happens, "Maybe, just a tiny bit irritable, but other than that, nothing." Ayden chews on her lip before lowering to her knees to take a look at the other woman's stomach, her breath hitching when she sees the roundness of it. "Y/N.." the woman on the floor mumbles, "There's no way that you aren't pregnant. Your stomach is round." An anxious laugh comes from the standing woman, "No, no. You're joking, this is just a very cruel-" "Y/N.." "..joke." she whispers, ending her sentence with tears in her eyes.

Ayden stands up and pulls her into a tight hug, stroking her hair as she feels the other's body shake rapidly with the force of tears. "A-Ayden.. I can't- Not now with-" "I know, honey, I know. But you need to tell Tae, even though the setting isn't right." Y/N pulls back as she looks at her in fear, rapidly shaking her head. "No! He- I- We-" "Calm down-" Ayden interjects, holding her hands up as a placated sign of surrender, "Breathe or you're gonna cause yourself to have a panic attack and you really don't need nor want that right now." The pregnant woman sniffles and shakes her head, silently trying to settle the panicking thoughts in her brain. "Ayden, you don't get it. I can't tell him! What if he throws me to the wind or he resents me for the rest of his-" "SNAP OUT OF IT, DRAMA MAMA!" Ayden yells, causing Y/N to startle. The blonde sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose.

"Okay! Obviously, this is gonna be a little difficult, but it shouldn't be too hard as long as we keep you happy and well-fed, then everyone else is gonna be happy too!" Ayden exclaims as she looks at her friend, who starts to pace the floor. "Why and who are we keeping well fed?" Anjelo asks as he rounds the corner, his mug still on his hand from earlier. He pauses. "We better not be fixing to start the process of turning into cannibals cause, baby-" Anjelo states with a slight raise of his voice, "I'm not doing it! Might as well toss my gay ass to the walkers at that point." Ayden giggles at him while the mention of cannibalism sends Y/N running to the bathroom, sounds of gagging and coughing coming to light moments after. "What's eating her?" Anjelo asks as he look to Ayden for answers. Ayden simply shakes her head and makes a half-hearted circle with her hands over her stomach.

"You mean, she's-" Ayden nods as the sound of gagging reaches their ears again. "Who's baby daddy?" "My brother." "..Yeah, that checks out.." Anjelo whispers faintly after a few minutes of silence. "She told-" Ayden cuts him off with a shake of her head. "Tell me what?"
