Forever Lonely, Carl Grimes Fanfic

Chapter 21

Song for this chapter: (No song cause I couldn't think of one, oops, I don't think I will put the songs anymore)
   I sit on Carl's bed with him as he bounces an old tennis ball he found on the wall. My eyes are stuck on the ball. Over and over he throws it, it comes right back to him. Michonne and Rick are talking in Rick's room. Their voices are faint but I can kind of hear them. I think Michonne and Rick are together. Some old music is playing Rick found. I qeuitly hum the tune.
     "Carl!" Michonne voices rings into his bedroom.
     "What!" Carl shouts back, then he says something I can't make out.
     "I can't hear you, come on out." Rick says. Carl stops throwing the ball and gets up. He offers his hand to help me up. I roll my eyes but take his hand. He smiles at me then walks into Ricks bedroom with me right behind him. His left eye is patched up, I'm still getting use to it. I can tell he absolutely hates it, I mean I would too if I were him. It draws unwanted attention to yourself. I see Judith playing with a plastic red cup and her pacifier on the floor.
     "What?" Carl asked, I can tell he is annoyed. Carl starts to say what he said earlier and Rick does the same. I start laughing along with Michonne.
     "You heard me." Carl says.
     "Huh yeah." Rick just smiles and lets out a little laugh.
     "It's time to change your bandage, Ava you need to get a check up and I need to borrow some toothpaste." Michonne says rubbing her hands together. That women and her hygiene.
     "Kay but...I'm outta toothpaste." Carl throws Rick the ball, whom catches it.
     "Bye dad." Carl says.
     "Bye Rick, bye Michonne." I wave them goodbye and follow Carl out the door and to the infirmary.
     "Goodbye." Michonne and Rick said at the same time.

   Carl and I get to the infirmary with Denise waiting for us. She greets us with a smile and shuts the door behind us.
"Okay Carl, you first." She gestures towards where Carl needs to sit and grabs some medical supplies. Carl sits down where he is told. Denise carefully takes off the bandage. Carl slightly winces as it comes off to reveal the gun wound. It looks better than before but still looks nasty.
"Looks good. Now I'm gonna clean it, so this is gonna sting a little." I love Denise. She talks you through it and explains what she is doing. She is a really nice lady.
As she starts to clean the wound I see Carl grit his teeth in pain. His right eye looks at me and focuses just on me. I smile at him which he doesn't return.
"Now I'm going to apply some healing cream then bandage it back up." It doesn't take it her then she is done. Carl gets up and scurries off to a mirror. He sighs and looks down at his shows, away from the mirror. I walk up behind him and hug him from behind.
"You look great still." I laugh lightly but Carl doesn't move...doesn't make a sound.
"Alright Octavia, your turn." Denise says breaking the silence. I slowly remove my arms from Carl and walk over to where he was sitting before.
"Now remember I'm not a fertility doctor or anything of the short so I'm gonna do my best." Denise lets out a awkward laugh. I smile brightly at her and say, "it's okay. I trust you and I know you can do it." She smiles at me and grabs a few medical tools I'm unfamiliar with.
"How far along are you?" She asks me while getting ready to write stuff down on a notepad.
"Um, about five to six weeks I think."
"Okay, so not that far." I watch her hand quickly write down stuff. She puts the notepad aside and starts the check up.
Carl joins me after a little while. After he woke up he told me he was really happy and he will be here to help me through every step of the way. I'm so lucky to have him.
"Alright, all done! Everything looks great, maybe eat some more fruits." Denise starts cleaning things up.
"Okay, thank you!" I get up and walk out the door with Carl behind me.
"So how did it go?" Zoe asks excitedly as she runs up the stairs to Carl and I.
"Everything went great." I look at Carl and smile then look back at Zoe. She looks at the both of us and to my stomach and smiles brightly.
"I better be the god mother!" She says sternly. I start laughing and she joins me.
     "I better go, Ron is probably looking for me. Bye, I'm glad everything went well!" Zoe hugs us goodbye.
     "Thanks and bye! See you around." I say.
    "See ya." Carl waves. I laugh at him.
     "What?" He raised his uncovered eyebrow at me which makes me laugh even more.
     "Nothing. Do you wanna head to my house?"
     "Sure." Off to my house we go...

   Carl and I just laid around. I decided to fix dinner for Maggie, Glenn, Carl and I. I settled on mac n cheese, I know...I know pretty simple, but hey! Who doesn't like mac n cheese?!
   As I pour the hard shells into the pot of boiling water, a pair of warm arms wrap around me. A big smile grows on my face.
     "Need any help?" Carl occurs has his warm breath fans the back of my neck.
     "Nope. I got it." I stir the shells and water slowly then put the spoon down. Carl's hands go on my stomach lightly.
     "Our child is going to be so beautiful, like their mother." Carl whispers. A laugh at him.
     "Aren't you nervous? I know I am, but I'm excited." My small hands cover Carl's larger hands which were still on my stomach.
     "As long as there is a doctor and I have you, I'm fine. We will be great parents, even if though we are living in a zombie apocalypse." I didn't know my smile could get bigger but it did.
     "I love you." I spin around and face Carl. He smiles and touches his forehead with mine.
     "I love you more."
