Once

Darkness

Chapter 16

Glenn POV
I woke up and looked down at Logan. A part if me was still expecting to blink and when I opened my eyes he would be awake. But that was just a dream and sometimes they don't come true. I miss seeing his little green eyes everyday and watching him and Maggie mess around.

I wish that we could be happy again and that Logan wasn't shot. I have failed him as a father and protector, and Maggie as a husband. But most of all, I have failed Paisley because I couldn't protect her brother.

I let myself wander into my thoughts until I saw Maggie walk into the cell. "Hey I missed you this morning." I warmly smiled.

"Yeah I just went out for a bit." I could tell that she was nervous or anxious but I thought that it would be best if I didn't bring it up. An awkward silence filled the air until she looked down at Logan. "Still nothing?"

"No but he should be up soon." I said and let a deep sigh out.

Suddenly I felt him moving around and both me and Maggie looked down at him. His body was jerking around and I thought that he was waking up. Maggie stepped closer and looked at her son.

I watched as she shook his body,"Logan baby Mommy and Daddy are here."

Suddenly his eyes shot open and looked at me and said,"Dad I'm scared. Mommy I- I..." and suddenly his chest stopped rising and his eyes stayed open.

I quickly laid him on the bed and started to preform CPR. "Come on son. Stay with us." I was now panting. After about two minutes I felt Maggie put her hand on top of my shakey hands.

I looked up at her and she shook her head and put it down. "Fuck!" I yelled. I ran out if the cell as fast as I could until I found Hershel. "Please something happened to Logan." I breathed out.

We both ran towards the cell with Hershel not too far behind. When I got in Maggie was doing CPR. I watched as Hershel stepped in and started working on my son.

I grabbed a crying Maggie into my arms and said,"Please Hershel save our son."

He looked back at me and nodded,"I will certainly try my best."

Hershel stopped and put his head on Logan's chest and looked back at us.

"Logan- Logan he is...."

"Hershel is he okay?" I asked and tears were now rolling down my cheeks.

"Hes stable for now but I will have to keep a close eye on him." He said and exited the cell.

Maggie POV
I nervously asked Carol,"So how far along am I?"

"Well actually Maggie it feels like, as far as I can tell, you're about three and a half months. Does Glenn know?"

I smiled and shook my head" No not yet."

"I would work on telling him soon because in no time you will be showing." She smiled and hugged me. "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

The next day still in Maggie's POV
I shuffled my way down to the cafe where Rick was holding a meeting about people going on a run. I am now regretting having a little sleep because I feel so much heavier and bloated.

I went and get some breakfast for myself and noticed that Carol had given me a larger than usual portion. "No Carol this is too much. Besides everyone needs to eat something today not just me."

She shook her head and whispered,"No remember its not just you that your eating for." She smiled. I nodded my head and excepted the food.
