As me and Daryl settled in we learned we had lost Beth, Lizzie, and Mika but then we were introduced to Abraham, Eugene, Rosita, Tara and father Gabriel. We all got along with each other

Two days later...

Rick, Glenn, and Daryl were going on a supply run. I sneak over to Rick

Me: Hey Rick

Rick: Yeah

Me: I can trust you right

Rick: Of course

Me: This paper in my hand is for your eyes only do not let Daryl or Glenn see this

Rick: What is it?

I hand him the paper. He opens and sees it says pregnancy test. He looks at me then smiles and puts the paper in his pocket

Rick: You can count on me

I hug him

Me: Thank you Rick

Rick: Your welcome

I walk away

The Next Day...

I ask Jesus to come over. We sit at the kitchen table. I start shaking

Jesus: Everything ok?

Me: I have to tell you something

He gives me a concerned look. I take a deep breath and look at him

Me: I'm pregnant

He stays quiet

Jesus: Does he know?

Me: I'm going to tell him later

Jesus: Your pregnant... I'm going to be an uncle?

Me: Yeah haha

He starts tearing up

Me: Dammit Jesus

I get up and hug him

Jesus: Mom and Dad would be happy for you

I tear up. He hugs be tightly

Me: I know

We stop and look at each other. He wipes the tears off my face

Jesus: Go tell him

I smile and nod

Me: Wish me luck

He kisses my head. I leave and go to Daryl's hangout which was Aaron and Eric's place. I knock on the door. Eric answers

Eric: Celina hi how are you?

Me: I'm good how about you?

Eric: good just having dinner with Aaron and Daryl

Me: Oh I'll just come back later

Eric: No come join us we have enough for one more, come on

I smile and head inside. It was a nice dinner, we were talking and laughing and having a good time. Daryl wanted to go for a walk before heading home. We were holding hands. He was quiet

Me: You ok?

Daryl: Not really

I get concerned

Me: What's wrong?

He stops and faces me

Daryl: I'm leaving

I'm shocked

Me: What? Why?

Daryl: Me, Abraham, Eugene, Rosita, Tara, and Aaron are going around the cities to look for food, water, medicine, people, etc

Me: How long will you be gone?

Daryl: About a month or two

Me: When do you leave?

Daryl: Tomorrow

I put my head down and start crying

Daryl: Hey hey

He lifts my head up

Daryl: I'll be back before you know it besides I will have your lucky charm with me the whole time

Me: I'm pregnant

Daryl:... What? Are you serious?

Me: Yes

He stays quiet

Daryl: I don't know what to say

Me: Daryl if you don't want anything to do with this baby I'll understand

Daryl: I need to think about this... I need time to clear my head

Me: I understand

I kiss his cheek

Me: Goodnight Daryl

Daryl: Night

I go back to my place

Me: Jesus; are you here?

He sits up on the couch

Jesus: Yeah I'm here still

He sees that I've been crying and gets up. He walks over to me

Jesus: Celina what happened?

Me: He said he needed time to think about it but he's leaving tomorrow

Jesus: Where's he going?

Me: A big supply run thats going to last one or two months

He hugs me

Jesus: It's going to be ok

Me: Can you stay the night with me

Jesus: Of course. No matter what happens just know I'll always be here for you

Me: I know thank you

Jesus: Your welcome

Me: I'm going to go to bed now

Jesus: I'll be down here if you need anything ok

I nod then head to my room. I lay on the bed and fall asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night and notice Daryl isn't laying next to me. I get up and head downstairs. I go over to the couch, Jesus is sleeping. I start shaking him

Me: Jesus

He wakes up and looks at me

Jesus: Hey; you ok?

Me: Daryl hasn't shown up. Can you lay next to me, I don't want to be alone up there

Jesus gets up

Jesus: Yeah of course

We go into my room and lay on the bed. We're facing each other

Jesus: I'm sure Daryl's fine, close your eyes and get some sleep

Me: I love you Jesus

He smiles

Jesus: I love you to

He kisses my head then starts rubbing it while humming "silent night" a song our mother use to sing to us. I close my eyes and start humming with him, eventually falling asleep
