Once

Everything has a risk now

Chapter 14

Glenn POV
I sat there waiting for her to come back to the cell but I kind of figured that she would want to sleep with Logan for a while.

I am so thankful that he is here because he is a really sweet kid and as of right now, only him and that baby can make her smile. What I wouldn't give just to see her smile for real at me.

I sat there just listening to how quiet the prison was for a while. It wasn't until I heard Maggies voice calling Logan. I heard them talking for maybe about a half an hour until I made my way towards his cell.

I made sure that they couldn't see me so I stood by the door and just listened to her read the book. She would have made a great mom. I decided to just sit down and wait until they went to sleep.

After another hour and a half I was almost certain that they were fast asleep. I slowly crept into the cell and I leaned in and kissed the top of her head and whispered, "I see how good you are with him and I can't wait until he gets used to me. I promise that I will always protect and love you two and that will never change. I will keep him safe and love him as if he were my own even if he doesn't see me as a father figure. I love you Maggie."

I walked back to my cell and fell asleep just thinking about the day that is yet to come.

Maggie POV
I slowly regained consciousness and squinted at the rays as they shone through the cell bars. I went to stretch and when I could feel Logan anywhere I panicked.

I jumped out of the cell and was so panicked. I ran out of the cell and nearly tripped over Beth. I just got up as quick as I could and practically threw myself down the stairs and into the cafe.

I looked at Glenn and all he said was,"He's okay Maggie. Right now him and Carl are checking cell block D with Rick."

I breathed out a sigh of relief and waited for them to get back. When I finally heard footsteps quickly approaching I got up and met them at the doors.

I saw Carl running and he was breathless and just said,"Hershel and Carol we need you now!"

I stepped towards Carl and said,"What happened?"

He looked at me with great sorrow in his eyes and said,"Logan was shot by the men in the prison that we hiding in the cell block. I'm sorry"

That was all I needed to hear before I went running in the way. Glenn grabbed me and said,"Maggie you stay here I will go and get him."

"Thats my baby Glenn. There's no way in hell that I am going to leave him again; I already did it once to him." I ran out of the cell block and into the dark hallways. "Rick!" I whisper yelled.

As I was running I nearly knocked Rick over when I bumped into him. "Maggie clear the way for us."

I did as I was asked and in no time we made it back to the cell block and to Carol and daddy.

Logan POV
I woke up and made my way down to the cafe where mom told me to go if I were hungry during the day. When I got there I saw Carol, Glenn, Rick and Carl. I overheard Rick and Carl talking about clearing out a cell block. "Hey umm Rick I was just wondering if I could help out you and Carl. Glenn could tell my mom where I am at."

Hey stopped eating and looked at Glenn and he nodded. "Yeah but do you know what you're doing out there?"

Before I could answer Glenn beat me to it,"Rick trust me on this Logan can handle himself better than most adults."

He looked at me and I just nodded my head,"Alright Logan grab some breakfast and we will head out when you're done." I just shook my head and tucked into my oatmeal.

When I was done me, Rick and Carl wondered down the gloomy, damp and smelly halls of the prison. We only ran into a few walkers that we could easily take care of. "Hey Rick why won't you let me get any?"

He chuckled and said,"Well Logan as it is when I get back, I can look forward to get a beating from your mom. Its my job to make sure that you and Carl are okay and in one piece when we get back."

"Yeah if you think that she can be mad at you for that, you don't want to see what happens when you don't take your shoes off before getting into the bed." And with that we all started laughing as quiet as possible.

It was only another five minute walk until we made it to the new cell block. Me and Carl check the top rows while Rick got the bottom ones.

It was quite simple; if there was one you stabbed it in the head and then move on to the next cell. It was all going as planned until I reached the last cell and a man came running out at me. I didn't react fast enough and he got my pistol and pointed the all but familiar cold metal to my temple.

He walked down the stairs and met with Rick and Carl,"Hey! Let the boy go now!" Rick demanded.

"Sorry Sheriff not gonna happen." Rick tensed up.

"What do you want? We make a trade right here right now." Rick said and stepped closer.

"I want what you have." He said and pressed the gun harder into my head causing a groan to escape my mouth. I knew by me doing this, I showed him that he was in control. I knew that because after awhile I got used to my dad beating me and he wouldn't do it as often.

"Okay here." Rick said and handed him all we had just risked our lives for. I looked up at the man and saw him nod his head and felt his rather large hands shove my body forward.

I stumbled over to Rick and nodded in thanks. "Wait. I knew damn well that you have more and I want it."

"No we already gave you all we could spare. We have a new born baby to tend to and we need all of the supplies we can get." Rick said and I could hear in his voice that he was pleading with the man.

"Well I don't give a rats ass if you guys have a baby. That baby will not even make it through all of this now-a-days. You wait and see, it wont even see its first birthday." I watched the man as he just chuckled as if he were proud of himself.

My anger was at a point of no return so I stepped forward. "You are not a man. You are a sorry ass excuse of a man saying that you will put yourself before a child. A child! You see by having that behaviour YOU are the one that is going to be dead before next year. You wait and see." I finished and started to walk away before I heard a gun shot. I stopped and looked to Rick and Carl to see that they were fine.

I turned around to look at the man that now had a horrified look on his face. I watched as his gaze dropped lower and looked at my stomach. I also looked down and saw that my once white shirt was soaked with blood. My blood.

Before I could process anything I pulled my pistol form the holister and fired a single shot. Thank God for the silencer or walkers would have been all over us.

I turned around to look at Rick and grabbed my stomach and whimpered,"I want my mommy." I saw Rick and Carl come running to me before everything went black.

Everything has a risk now.

AN/ Soooo... that just happened. Sorry guys but they can't be too happy for too long. If you had to loose Maggie, Logan or Glenn who would you choose?
