My life in the apocalypse

Chapter 39

*Roxie's p.o.v.*

If Sam doesn't shut up I'm gonna kill him. Not literally, but you know what I mean. All of us stop near a bush thing.

"New plan, we are not going to the armory. We are gonna get out of here, get to the quarry, get our vehicles, and drive the walkers out of here." Rick says.

"Okay, I can do that." I say. We all agree with him. "What about Judith. To the quarry and back, she can't handle that." Someone says. I turned around next to Carl still holding his hand tight.

"I'll take her." Gabriel says. "The hell you're not." I say and turn around. "I can do it. I'll take her to my church and keep her safe." He says. Rick nods along with an 'okay'.

Carl walks over to Gabriel so he can give him the baby. "Take Sam too." Jessie says. "No, I'm staying here with you. I can keep going. Please." He says. Jessie gives in and we watch Gabriel make his way to the church.

"He'll make it." I say to Rick. To be honest I hate Gabriel, but if he gets Judith there and safe, I might just trust him a little bit.

We all take hands again, but this time I'm in between Ron and Michonne. I didn't mean to get between them because I really want to be beside Carl, but, that's how it worked out.

We start walking again. It got dark out really fast. We keep walking, making our way to the fallen wall.

Sam lets go of Rick's hand and steps away from us. "No, I can't." He says. Jessie and Ron try to say words of encouragement. But before our eyes a walkers rips into his flesh, ripping it from his body.

Jessie screams, next thing we know a walker bites into her too. Carl tries to get loose o Jessie's grip but can't. I try to help him but Michonne holds me back. Rick swings his axe at her arm, taking it off.

Ron lets go of my hand and holds up a gun to Carl. I cry, trying to get him to stop. Michonne stabs him in the chest.

Carl turns to look at me, revealing that Ron had shot him right in the eye. "Roxie." He says before he falls to the ground. "No! Carl!" I yell, not caring about the walkers anymore.

Rick yells also and picks Carl up. We all run to the infirmary. The door opens and Denise tells Rick to lay him on the table. I'm crying my eyes out, sitting in the corner.

"Roxie, it's gonna be okay. He will live." Aaron says bending down to me. "He has to be, because..." I say but get cut off by my own sobs.

"Because what?" He asks. "I'm pregnant." I say. His eyes widen. Rick looks at me and walks over, bending down. Michonne just pays attention to Carl, but still listening to me.

"You're....you're pregnant? With Carl's child?" Rick asks. I nod.

He picks up his axe and leaves. "I have to go out there with him." I say standing up. "Me too." Michonne says. "Michonne, I need you right here for just one second." Denise says.

"Rick is out there." Michonne says. "And his son is here." Denise retorts.

"Roxie, you sit your ass down. You need to go through tests." Aaron says. I shake my head and grab a machete that's on the ground. I walk out the door and help Rick.

We kill the walkers, left and right. Michonne runs out, along with Aaron and some other people. We fight off the walkers, forming our small group in a circle.

As we make our way down the covered roads of Alexandria, more people join us. If I do say so myself, this group we have out here right now, is badass.

We stop at the wall and make a line. An explosion goes off at the pond. All of the walkers turn and walk to the, now on fire, pond.

I chuckle, knowing it was my dad who set of the explosion. We all keep killing the walkers, now from the back.

*skip to morning*

After all of the madness last night, I ran back to the infirmary, where I saw my dad. I gave him and huge hug and he kissed me. "Don't squeeze her too hard, she has something to tell you." Rick says, walking in the door.

My dad looks at me confused. "I'm pregnant. But Carl is in that room, and I don't know if he is alive or not. So can we make this short?" I ask.

My dad just kisses my head. "We'll talk about this later." He says. I nod and run into the room Carl is in. I grab the hand that Rick isn't holding.

Denise walks in. "Roxie, we need to run some tests on you." She says. "I'm not leaving him." I say and wipe some hair away from his face. I kiss his forehead. "Okay, we will do them in here." She says. "Thank you." I say. She nods and gets the supplies for the tests.

She takes my blood pressure and all that crap and leaves us alone. "I'll leave you with him for a second." Rick says. "Thanks." "Yeah."

I squeeze Carl's hand. "You probably can't hear me, but I told everyone about me being pregnant. They all took it well. Well, except for my dad. I have no idea how he feels. I love you Carl Grimes. I love you with all my heart. If...if you die....I don't think I could go on. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I-I think about when I first came to the prison and I saw you the next day after I passed out." I chuckle a little at that memory."And how right when I saw you, I knew you were the one. It sounds cheesy, I know, but it's true. I need you Carl. I can't go on without you. The world has gone to shit, but if the world, if I, lost you, it would surely be fucked." I say

I kiss his cheek and squeeze his hand. Then, the unbelievable happened, he squeezed my hand back. "Rick! Denise!" I yell.

They run in and Carl opens his one eye. "Can I get some pain killers?" He asks. We chuckle and I kiss his lips softly. "I love you so fucking much." I say and cry tears of happiness.

"I love you too." He says.

Rick grabs his other hand and we all smile.

This group might not be related to me biologically, but they sure as hell are my family. And if you think that I wouldn't do anything for them, well, you're fucking wrong.

A/N. I don't even know what to say. Like the episode was amazing, the best yet. Even though Carl's eye was shot out, he is still alive. So yeah, that's all the words I can process on my own right now so, see ya next chapter!
