Once

You know me

Maggie POV
I was anxiously waiting for Aaron to get back from where ever the hell he went. I hated this, I was laying on one of the beds at the makeshift hospital waiting for that nurse to come back.

I looked over at Brier and Corey who were asleep and snuggled together. I softly smiled at them knowing that they were okay.

Just then the lady walked in. I looked over at her and she smiled,"You and your kids are perfectly fine Maggie. You should be good to go and see Deanna next door."

I nodded,"Thank you." Before she walked out I asked her,"Aubrey, how is she?"

She stopped in her tracks and turned around,"She will get better but I think that I am going to keep her here for a couple days until she is well enough to go home."

I nodded and started getting Brier and Corey ready. Just then Aaron walked in out of breath,"You said Carl and Judith right?"

I furrowed my eye brows together and nodded. I tried looking behind him at the door when someone walked in behind him. I lost my breath when I saw Carl. I ran to him and hugged him as tight as I could,"Oh my God! I thought that I lost you."

He smiled and started crying,"You should see her Maggie. She is so big now."

I let go and looked behind him to where a little girl was clinging to a woman. I looked at him and he smiled at me.

I walked over and bent down in front of her. She looked exactly like Lori. I smiled as she brought her small hands out and touched my face. She rested them at the side of my face before saying,"You are pretty."

I smiled and dabbed her nose once,"You're prettier."

She giggled,"Who are you?"

"I'm Maggie, remember me Judith?" I softly asked.

She furrowed her eyebrows before asking,"You know me? Who else do you know?"

I smiled,"I knew your mommy, I know your dad, I know Carl, I know your papa Hershel, I know your auntie Beth. I know lots of people."

Her eyes light up,"Wait you know Logan?"

"Judith don't." Carl spoke from behind me.

I looked back at him,"No she's okay." I turned my attention back to Judith,"That was my baby, that was my son."

She then reached out and traced my ring for a moment before looking back up at me,"Maggie?"

I nodded and she jumped into my arms. I caught her and stood with her in my arms and burrowed my head into her hair. I smiled and she whispered into my ear,"Is he gone like my dad and mom."

I nodded my head,"Yeah he is but your dad is alive."

She pulled away and looked at me,"He is?"

I nodded. She smiled over at Carl who stood beside the pregnant woman and gave her to one of them. She instantly went to the woman and whispered to her.

I watched as her jaw dropped before she told Carl something. He looked at me shocked,"Really?"

I nodded,"I am going to look for them after I take my kids home to stay with Beth."

"I'm going with you." He replied as he heald the woman's empty hand.

I shook my head,"No Carl, you have a reason to stay." I nodded towards her belly.

She looked at Carl,"I can't tell you to go or not but I do want you to stay with us."

He nodded and pleaded,"Enid please this is my dad and I want to be there when they find him."
