Keep Moving Forward (Sequel To Redneck Lover)

Chapter 7

*Third Person*

"Do somethin!"

"She's losing blood too fast, help me!" Hershel yelled.

Bob came in and took Daryls son away from all the chaos and checked him out. Daryl was on his knees on Adelynes bed folding a sheet to try to stop the bleeding. Daryl looked at her, she was becoming pale. He could feel his chest constricting. No! Adelyne!

"Damn it!"

He could see the all the blood starting to bleed through the sheets. Hershel used more meds.

"This should lighten the bleeding and eventually  stop it. But she's lost a lot of blood, more than she can replace right now. I- I don't know what else to do" he explained.

Daryl watched as the blood reached all the way through the sheet and now soaked his already bloodstained hand. It tore Daryl to pieces watching Adelyne just lay there no signs of life in her. She still had a heartbeat but for how much longer. Shaking his head Daryl pushed those thoughts out of his head. He wasn't going to lose her. Thats when it hit him.

"Hershel hold this, I have an idea. I'll be right back."

*Daryl*

My feet had never moved so fast in my life. I felt like my lungs were on fire. When I made it outside and looked around. There was no one out here, it was dark why would there be? Growling with frustration, I ran back into the cell block.

"Rick!" I yelled.

I didn't care if everyone was sleeping, Adelyne and my now newborn son are the only things I care about now. I called again and this time and a few other people looked out their cells. Then Rick popped his head out.

"Daryl?"

He rubbed his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Adelyne needs you."

His head shot up and we broke off into a full blown run back to isolation.
-------------------------
I pushed open the door and bolted to Adelynes cell with Rick on my heels. I stopped to see Hershel still next to Adelyne checking on her.

"Whats happening?" Rick asked.

"She's losing blood, you're a match. The farm, the gun shot. You can help her right?" I asked frantic.

Rick nodded and Hershel had him set up for the blood transfusion. My heart  wouldnt stop racing until I knew Adelyne was alright though. I looked at them and bit my lip until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Bob.

"Would you like to hold your son?" He asked.
 
My son. It felt amazing to hear that, a being that I created and now I was going to meet him. My hands started to shake but I nodded and Bob led me to the next clean cell. I stopped him just outside of it.

"Hey, um thanks for the meds in the IV bags. Also taking my son away from all the chaos. Just...thanks"

He nodded and I nodded back walking to the cell. Michonne was holding him and smiled when she looked up. I walked closer and she stood and gently handed him to me. I held him looking down at him smiling. My baby boy, I would always protect him and his mother with my life. Before Judith I had never held a baby before but it was different with my own. I felt pride and pure bliss. He opened his eyes and yawned. He had my eyes but he had Adelyne's face all day. Hopefully he would start to look more than me when he starts growing.

"He's beautiful Daryl, and he's healthy. I grabbed some clothes, formula, necessary essentials from C block. I fed him dressed him" Michonne told me.

I nodded not looking at her. I couldn't tear my eyes away from my baby.

"Thank you Michonne"

"So what's his name?"

This time I looked at her.

"I don't know, we hadn't really decided on any of the names we picked. So I'm not sure, I'm just glad he's here."

Michonne nodded and left me alone.  I looked down again.

"Oh Im so happy to meet you. I love you so much. I will always protect yiu and your mom. Your momma she's a good person so don't be too hard on her" I chuckled.

My son looked up at me and I kissed his forehead. Welcome to the world son.
