The undead (JSE)

26.

P.O.V. Addy.
As I walk outside into the snow I take a deep breath. I climb onto the watchtower and greet Mark who's on the other one.

"Morning!" I say. He smiles.

"Morning Addy." He says back. Things have been going well lately. Everyone was well fed, the horses and chickens where doing good, everyone was doing great. We didn't hear from the other group ever again. Luckily 'cuz I'm pretty sure they would've killed us. I take my gun as I see something move from the woods infront of us.

"Help! We got a pregnant lady, she's about to give birth!" A man with two girls comes rushing out of the woods. One of them definetly pregnant.

"Go get Amy." I say to Mark.

"Go!" I say and open the gate.

"Any of you infected?" I ask. They look at each other.

"No, but my wife, Ellie, she's gonna give birth." The guy says.

"Come in, fast." I say. They enter and I close the gate.

"Follow me." I say and lead them inside.

"Cone on." Amy says. I help the girl keep the woman standing as we lead them to the right room. The girl and I watch as Amy and Marzia deliver the baby. The woman passes out as soon as the baby is out.

"Is she gonna make it?" The guy asks. Amy hands the baby to Marzia who checks if it's healty while Amy goes to check on the woman.

"She doesn't have a pulse." She says.

"I'm sorry but...there's nothing I can do, she's gone." She says. The guy sighs. Amy goes for her knife but he stops her.

"I wanna do it." He says. He grabs his knife and stabs her in the head after saying how much he loved her.

"You have a beautiful baby boy." Marzia says handing him the baby.

"I don't want it, I'm out, thank you but I'm taking my wife and I'm out, it's not even mine, you coming Lexi, or are you staying?" The guy asks. The girl looks at me and back to the guy.

"You know what, stay, I don't wanna get you into danger, take care of them." He says. He picks up his wife and walks out, the girl still follows him. I look at the baby.

"You wanna hold him?" Marzia asks. I nod. I take him in my arms and smile at him.

"Hello there little man." I say smiling.

"He needs a name." Amy says.

"What about Jasper?" Amy asks.

"Nah." I say.

"Justin?" Marzia asks. I shake my head.

"Sam." I say.

"Little Sammy, and when he gets older we will still call him Sammy and he will hate us and we will laugh and love him." I say. They smile.

"So, Sam it is." Amy says. We walk out of the room. I smile holding the little guy in my arms.

"Why did they...leave..." Jack says when he sees the baby in my hands.

"This is Sam." I say smiling. He looks down at him.

"Hello there little guy." He says. I hand him the baby. A gunshot sounds from outside.

"Stay here." I say to everyone. I grab my gun and walk out. I peek trough a hole and sigh as I see the body's.

"Ah man." I say as I open the gate. There are the man and the two girls. I start taking them inside the walls. When they're all in I take their stuff and walk back.

"He killed the girl and himself. I say taking a shovel. I walk back outside and walk to the open place at the back of the hotel and start digging holes. After a while Jack joins me.

"Sam is asleep, Mark, Amy, Felix, Robert and Ken are getting baby supplies." He says. I nod. We bury the people and go back inside. I walk into our room to find Sam crying. I wrap the blanket around his little body and hold him in my arms.

"Ssh, it's gonna be alright." I say and start humming "I'm coming home." As I sing him back to sleep the door opens and Jack walks in.

"He's so cute." I whisper. Jack chuckles.

"He is." He says. I sigh and fall onto the bed.

"Are you alright?" Jack asks. I nod.

"Gotta be." I say. He smiles. He leans over to kiss me and then walks out of the room. I turn on my side and close my eyes.

"Goodnight." I whisper to Sam.
