Jason's pov
Aaron leads the way to Alexandria. Daryl rides his motorcycle while Michonne, me and Miranda are in the rv. Me driving. Miranda walks by and sits in the passenger seat. "You know you can tell me anything right?" She asks. I shoot a sidelong glance her way. "What are you talking about?" I ask. "Well, you've kept secrets from me. I'll tell you anything you want to know about me. We shouldn't hide anything from each other." "Hun why do you wanna know so bad?" "I just wanna know why you think you should hide it from me!" "Ok once we get to the safe zone." I say, putting a hand on her leg. She smiles. "Ok. I can settle for that cowboy." She kisses my cheek then sits with Michonne in the back. Daryl's motorcycle stops along with Aaron's car in front of a giant gated community. "I think we're here girls." I call. I hear the door open and I get out of the driver's seat after pocketing the keys. "Ready baby?" She nods nervously. "If this turns out to be another trap-" she starts. "Then I'll kick their asses. I won't let anything happen to you or our baby." I assure her, kissing her forehead. I grab her hand and we step off the bus. Aaron stands in front of the gates with a smile on his face. "Welcome to salvation." He says. The gates open and behind him is a ton of houses. Untouched. No broken windows. No blood on the walls. I grip her hand tighter and keep her behind me. "It's gonna be okay." I whisper. We walk in and the gates close behind us. I'm nervous because now we're locked in and if we need to make an escape, it'll be very difficult. Aaron guides us to a house that a woman stands outside of. She smiles. "My name is Deanna. I am the leader of this community. We have homes for you. Follow me." Daryl looks my way asking with his eyes should we trust her. I shrug worriedly. She walks with us to a few houses. "Make yourself at home." She says. I open the door to a fully furnished house. We walk inside. "My God." She whispers. "I think I'm gonna like it here." I say, turning around to face her. "Um knock knock." A feminine voice says. I spin around, my bow raised. "Wait don't shoot!" She cries. I lower it. "Sorry. Been on the run for way too long." I say. She smiles and nods then walks over. "My name's Alice and I'm the doctor. I think she's long overdue for a prenatal check up." I glance at my girl. "Yeah she is." I say. We go to the clinic and she sits on the bed nervously. "Don't leave me." She whispers. "Baby girl, you know I won't leave you." Alice walks in the room with a bunch of medical stuff.
*later*
"Congratulations, you're gonna have a little girl." She says. A daughter. I'm gonna have a daughter. Deanna is waiting for us outside the clinic. "I hope you are comfortable." She says. I nod. "Thanks ma'am." I say tilting my hat. I get a shock of a life time seeing Abraham and Glenn.
*2 months later*
I've really started to love this little place. Me and Glenn are on a supply run. "I'm really sorry. I thought you were dead." I say. "Don't. Just don't." He says. I sigh. I wish things didn't get bad between us. I grip my sniper rifle tighter. We turn the corner and my jaw drops in shock. "Brantley!?" I gape. "Jason? Is that really you?" "Yeah man in the flesh!" I gasp, hugging him. "Wow, I didn't know you were alive." He says. "Me either." I say.
*later*
I get a buzz on my walkie talkie. It's bad out of range and it's very fuzzy. I can't understand it very well. "Get home." Crackling. "Baby..... On way." I drop it. "Shit the baby's coming!" I gasp, making a run for home. "Jason wait!" Brant yells. I turn back around. My outlaw country brother holds the keys to a Harley. "Hop on brother." He says. I look back at Glenn. "What about you?" I ask him. "I'll get home. Just make it back for her." I nod and get on the motorcycle with Brantley.
Miranda's pov
Jason runs through the door. "There you are." I choke out. "Of course I'm here." He gasps, holding my hand, the pain unbearable. "It hurts so bad." I whimper, tears soaking the pillow. Daryl paces the ground terrified. "It's okay. Calm down. Take deep breaths and push when I say so." I nod.
Jason's pov
She screams in pain. I hold her hand tightly. "I can't!" She cries. "Yes you can!" The doctor says. I'm so terrified.
*after*
She's asleep when they hand our baby to me. "She's beautiful." I whisper, fighting back tears. "Is she gonna be okay?" I ask, glancing at Miranda. "She'll be fine and your baby is perfectly healthy." Daryl walks over and I let him hold her. "Hey Lil asskicker." He says. I smile and hold my wife's hand. "We're gonna be okay as long as we have this place." I say.
