Me and any continue to walk while we look out for any sign of Aaron.
Amy walks fast ahead of me,
We both are silent and then I ask the impending question I have be wanting to know but secretly know the answer too.
" who is the dad"?
Amy stops in her track but doesn't turn around nor look at me " you already know Sydney" she says
I look down at my feet.....
We were only with three other people during this whole time and the only other two people were Dustin and Aaron, and Dustin died shorty after all this happened the timing didn't make sense.
Amy was hardy showing and I didn't even notice it.
I wonder if Aaron knew?
"Does he know"? I ask
This time she doesn't respond do I run up too her.
I stand in front of her blocking her path " Amy does Aaron know"?
She has tears in her eyes and shakes her head no.
I breathe a deep sigh
"How do you even know for sure"?
I ask her in attempt to change the subject
Amy tilts her head to the side " of course I know" she says and continues "if you haven't noticed but I have gained 10 extra pounds during an apocalypse that might be a key sign." She spits back at me
I ignore her attitude and tell her "maybe you just have been eating a lot more" ?
" look SYDNEY I don't know what to tell you okay I am pregnant yes he dad is Aaron and he has no clue that I am pregnant or that the baby is his!!...... I know I am pregnant because I just do all the signs are there so I would appreciate it if you would just shut your mouth keep walking and help find Aaron whose could possibly help us stay alive" she added at " and why do you even care"? " it's not like we are friends"
I don't say anything just keep walking.
As we walk I begin to think how could it be Aaron I knew that they had. Relationship before this all started but how he said he didn't even like her.
'My thoughts get interrupted my Amy
"Hey" " Sydney's look"
She says
I spin around Amy is pointing towards an old abandoned house that can hardly be seen because of the thick miss that covers most of it.
" let's stay her for the night" I tell Amy
" we will find Aaron tomorrow"

The door is blocked off to the house so we decide to  climb in through the window that is broken.
Me and Amy go around and look for anything to use... All we find are two wooden blankets, a pack of dental floss, and a can of bean soup.
We stay in the main floor probably the dinning room I move the couch so it blocks the door and tie the handle three times to be safe.
I try to be nicer to Amy
" do you want the couch"? I ask her
" I am pregnant not a baby"she retorts back to me
" well you are carrying one I tell her"
She gives me a look she gets up from the floor dragging her blanket behind her and plops down on the couch.
I settle on the floor and open the can of beans I take a few handfuls and eat them then pass the test to any she looks at it then makes a disgusted face.
But ears the rest anyway
We both try desperately to go to sleep.
But no luck I lie there awake
" when are you going to tell him"? I ask Amy seeing if she is still awake
No response I turn around and look at her, she is clearly awake as you can see her eyelids flicker and a tear slowly falls down her cheek.
I leave it
And I feel a pinch of guilt I don't know what she is going to do. And I can't imagine what's she is going through.
I make a silent promise that night before I go to bed that I will help Amy no matter what she has done to me or annoyed me or ever been mean to me I will help her, help her with the baby.
