Chapter 1
Maggie POV
It was early in the morning and it was calm and quiet as I lie beside one of the most important people in my life. I just stayed there and listened to the all but familiar sound of Glenns' heart beat. It was suddenly interrupted when the cries of a new born baby had filled the prison.
I slowly got up so I didn't wake Glenn and made my way towards Ricks' cell. When I got there I saw that Rick must have been on watch so I took the baby out of her crib and made my way down the hall to the showers.
While I washed her, the only thought that rang through my mind was 'What could have been? I whish that it didn't have to happen to me.... again. I can't go through it, not any more.'I got her dressed and took her to the Cafiteria to feed her. As I gazed into her chocolate brown eyes she instantly reminded me of Lori. I had taken something away from this little girl and poor Carl that I could never in my lifetime give back.
Flashback (when Lori was dying)
3rd Person POV
They made their way towards any room that could provide safety from the breached walkers that now filled the cell block. While Maggie, Carl and Lori were running, Lori doubled over in pain causing the three of them to stop.
Lori:," I think the baby's coming."
Maggie:,"No Lori not here. We don't have enough time. Carl find a room, we need to get away from these walkers and fast."
They wandered for another 3 minutes before Carl could find an open room. Maggie had led Lori inside and laid her down
Lori:," I have to push. I have to."
Maggie:," No Lori you're not even dialaited. You have to wait or something could go wrong."
Without warning Lori push her hardest over and over again until blood came rushing down her leg in a continous flow.
After waiting helplessly for what seemed like forever, Lori made a life changing decision for the sake of her unborn child.
Lori:," Maggie you have to cut me open. My baby has to survive. Pleases my baby."
Maggie:," I can't. I won't Lori. You won't survive and I don't have any equipment."
Carl:," I'll go get Hershel."
Lori:," No Carl it's too dangerous. Maggie you have to for me please. Carl has a knife."
Maggie:," No Lori. I won't do this to you I could never forgive myself and neither would Rick or Carl."
Lori:," Maggie I know that if you don't do this now we will both die. Carl baby don't be scared. This is right promise me that you will always do what's right. Don't let this world spoil you. You are going to beat this world I know you will because you are smart, strong and so brave. You're the best thing that I ever did and I love you. You promise me that you will look after your daddy for me and your little brother or sister?"
Carl:," I promise mom. I love you."
Lori:," Maggie can you help Rick with the kids? If anything happens can you take them in and treat them like their your own?"
Maggie:," Of course I will Lori. Me and Glenn will help the boys with the baby. I promise."
Lori:," Okay, okay. Maggie when this is done you have to do it. It can't be Rick. Promise me Maggie."
Maggie just nodded her head yes and both Maggie and Carl were crying because they knew that this was the last time they would hear her voice and see her alive. At that Maggie took the knife from Carl's shaking hands and just before Maggie made the cut Lori said good bye to Rick.
Lori:," Good night love."
Maggie:," I'm sorry"
As soon as the knife sliced the delicate skin, you could hear the blood curdling screams coming form Lori.
Carl:," Stop you're killing her!"End of flash back
Glenn POV
I woke up and turned to face Maggie to find that she wasn't there. I was in the middle of a panic attack when I bumped into Rick and the only thing that could escape my lips were," Have you seen Maggie?""Yeah she is outside with the baby," Rick said faking a smile and gesturing outside. In response I just nodded my head and hurried outside.
It wasn't until I saw Maggie holding the baby by Loris' graveythat I thought, 'What could have been? There is no way that I could ever feel the pain that she went through before the dead started walking around.'
She would only tell me certain things about her past and from what I could understand, NOBODY should deserve to live that kind of a life.
