Once

Just us

Chapter 15

Glenn POV
I can't believe what happened to Logan. Poor Maggie has gone through too much as a parent already. I honestly don't know if he will survive the gun shot wound.

I numbily shuffled my way towards our cell. "Maggs?" I listened and heard no answer so I made my way to Logans cell. I saw her sitting there with puffy read eyes and her cheeks were drained of colour.

I walked in and sat beside her on the bunk bed. "We're going to be okay Maggie remember that everything happens for a reason. Logan is a tough kid, your kid, and he will pull through. This won't break him."

"Its my fault. I should've been there or at least have woken when he did. My baby isn't suppose to be lying there shot; right now he should be out in the woods with me hunting." After that she broke down and all I could do was let her cry into my chest.

After we sat there for a couple hours, I noticed her soft snores so I slowly got up and made my way down the cell block. I found Rick so I said,"Hey Rick can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah," he walked across the cell block and stopped when he was about three feet away from me. "Listen I just wanted you to know that I am truly sorry about what happened to Logan. If I could go back and fix it I would." I watched as he pinched the top of his nose and put his head down. I could tell that he was honestly upset about this. I think that everyone was.

"I just want to know what happened to him out there and where you were?" At my question Rick tensed up and looked up at me.

"It just happened so fast. Me and a man we arguing about making a trade because he had Logan hostage. After we got him back, that man just started saying a bunch of stuff that got a rise out of him. Logan turned around and started going off on the man. Before I could do anything to help him he shot Logan. I watched as he turned around and looked me in the eyes and called for his mom. He turned around and shot that man right in between the eyes and grabbed his stomach. When he turned around again he fell." He stopped and put his head down.

"Why did you clear out the cell block first?" I asked him.

He put his bead up to reveal his wet cheeks. "We did and he must have snuck in through the open door."

I just nodded and said,"I'm going to go and see Logan." Rick nodded and with that I made my way to the cell where that little boy was.

When I walked in my heart sunk. He was just laying there with his stomach all bandaged up. I felt his head and noticed that he was burning up so I got a wash cloth and put it in his forehead.

"Hang on Logie I'll be right back." And with that I went to his cell, careful not to wake Maggie, and grabbed his book. I all but jogged back to Logan. When I entered I saw Hershel. "How's he doing?"

"Well it looks like he will be in a coma for maybe a month at the least. He's a strong kid Glenn, you don't have to worry." Hershel smiled and patted my back before exiting the cell.

I sat down beside him and said,"Logan I know that you may not think about me as your dad but I think of you as my son. I will protect you as if you were my own and nobody can change that. I promise you that as long as you are in my reach or your mothers, nothing will happen to you. I will do anything to keep you safe and will search for as long as it takes to find a forever home for you. I want you to be able to live your life through and grow up to be you Grandpa Hershel's age and die happy."

I smiled and then felt someone put their hand on my back. I knew that it was Maggie just by the way the hand felt. I looked back at her and smiled. "I'm so sorry that I didn't go and keep him safe. It's all my fault Maggie. I'm sorry that I put your son in danger."

She shook her head and said,"Our son will be fine and it wasn't your fault Glenn. He is strong and will pull through; I can feel it."

I looked down at the book and tried to hand it to her. She shook her head and pushed it back my way and said,"You read it to us." I smiled.

I watched as she went to sit down and pulled Logan up so she was holding him like a baby and made room for me on the bed. I sat there and began to read. When I was almost done I noticed that Maggie had fallen asleep so I just laied beside her and pulled them on my lap. My family.

I kissed her head and hugged Logan closer to me. My eyes finally grew heavy and I let the sleep take over.

Maggie POV
Two weeks later
When I woke up I saw that I was laying beside Glenn with my head on his chest. I looked to my left to see that Logan we snuggled into his side with one of Glenn's arms around him. One of his arms were draped across by body and he heald my back.

I smiled to myself and slowly got up making sure to not wake my two boys. I made my way to the cafe to get Glenn and I something to eat. As soon as I walked in, I was met by a smiling Carol and in a instance the smell of cooking meet hit me. I instantly turned around and ran to the bathrooms.

I almost didn't make it to the toilet. I was used to this by now so I just shook it off. I had just flushed the toilet and made my way to brush my teeth until I saw Carol standing there. "Are you feeling okay Maggie?"

"Umm... yeah its nothing. I have been like this for a while now. I'm sure it's nothing." I looked at her and faked a smile.

"Can I ask you something?" She questioned as we walked out to the catwalk outside.

"Yeah go for it. I'm an open book." I joked and she tried to fake a laugh but I could tell that she was being serious.

"What are your symptoms?" She questioned and furrowed her eye brows.

"Well I am always tired, nauseous, hungry sometimes and I feel really bloated." I said and nervously shifted in my spot.

"If you don't mind me asking; when was the last time you got your period? You know that you could be pregnant." She questioned. As soon as she said that it felt as if I couldn't breathe.

I just put my head in my hands and cried. I fell to the floor. Who's was it? "Carol is there anyway of telling how far along I am?"

"Yeah come back to my cell." I nodded my head and followed her. Once I was in she went and closed the cell door and put her blanket down. "Lay down on your back on the bed." I did as she said and she looked at me and I nodded.

She pulled my shirt up and started rubbing my lower stomach while applying some pressure. "What are-"

"Sh." She demanded and I quieted down. She opened her eyes and I pulled my shirt down. "Yeah there is defiantly a baby in there Maggie." She chuckled.

"How far along am I?" I asked with a little bit of worry noticeable in my voice.

"Actually Maggie......"
