Team Family (Richonne)

Chp13: home

Michonne's P.OV

"And if we just find a little more gas we can haul all the way to the hilltop." Rick said

the whole team nodded at Rick's great idea to get to safety.
"but how do we get gas?" Sasha asked

Rick looked around and then looked Abraham in the eye, "Me and Abraham'll go on a run."

Sasha closed her eyes and leaned against Abraham, "There has to be another way. They are still out there and they can get you guys any moment." She said, referring to the saviors.

"There's a lawn mower outside and I bet there's a gallon of gas around the garage somewhere. That should be enough to get us there." Carl suggested

"Yeah, that ain't a bad idea." Abraham added, pulling Sasha closer to him.

Rick nodded at Carl, "Let's get looking then."

Carl and Abraham and Rick walked to the door, shot us all looks and walked outside.

I sat in the chair with Judith on my lap while Jay leaned on me, Denise packed things up, I don't know why but she did, and Sasha just stared at the walls.

"this is all my fault." Jay whispered to me

"No it's not." I whispered to him

"It is, and you can't tell me otherwise."

I placed my arm around him and cradled him close, "You tried to save our lives, you took a bullet for me. You are a hero, to me, to Rick, to Carl, to Judith, to everyone." I said

"I know, I just feel like you and Rick are angry at me.. I don't know man.."

"We aren't. We just don't show our emotions well, but we are very proud of you." I assured him

there was a moment of silence.

"Thank you, Michelle for taking care of me like I was one of you own."

"Don't mention it." I whispered

Jay was really getting me in the feels, I could cry right now, but then he'd ask what was wrong and I would have to tell him about Andre, which
I'm really not stable to talk about.

Suddenly, Sasha hopped up and ran into the kitchen, where she puked her guts out for the 5th time this week.

Jay looked at me and raised his eyebrow, "Is she ite?"

"yeah, I guess. Just morning sickness." I raised my eyebrows too

"wait, whaaa? she's --- is she pregnant?" he asked
I nodded and he gasped, "that's wassup." he said, still very shocked.

Carl ran back into the house, panting for air, taking off his hat.

"We got the gas, and we gotta go now. We accidentally started the mower and now there's trouble coming down the road."

Carl walked over to Jay and helped sit him up, "Can you walk?" he asked

"Yes. how far away is the car though?" Jay asked

"not too far down the road, I can help you if you need me too."

"that'd be nice," Jay tried to get up, but he couldn't on his own, so Carl helped him up, placing one of Jay's arms around his shoulder and helping him up by the waist.

I held onto Judith and gathered bags as well, Denise followed and Sasha did too. We all got outside and the men were already there, waiting for us.

I took a peek down the street and sure enough a lot of walkers were on their way.

"We gotta move quick." Rick said
