I'm Not Lori! (A Rick Grimes Love Story)

Ch 2

~Rick's POV~
Hailey and I only broke eye contact when we heard a weapon being pulled. Turning around I saw Daryl pointing his crossbow in her face, ready to fire.
Oh this is not going to be good.

"Carl move away from her." Daryl told my son
"Daryl what are..." Carl questioned
"We don't know who this woman is, she might have some connection with the so called Governor." He said

Hailey slowly moved away from Carl and walked closer to Daryl with a glare on her face.

"Little boy, you best be getting that out of my face if you know what best for ya." She growled
"Who you calling a little boy!" He yelled putting the crossbow even higher in her face.

"Seems that I'm talking about you, since your the one yelling like a five year old." She said looking him over, "Now how about you get that bow out of my face."

"Not a chance lady." Daryl growled

"Daryl." I said slowly walking up the arguing two with my hand out.

"What Rick! We can't take anymore chances with people you know that! And she still could be part of the group with the Governor." Daryl stated to me

"I can tell you now I don't know this so god damn Governor you think I'm associated with!" Hailey yelled

"How about we all just calm down." I said looking at both of them

"Do you know this young woman, Rick?" Asked Hershel

I looked at the ground then slowly looked up at Hailey and again her face was Lori's. Shaking my head I dragged my hand through my hair. She is not there. SHE. IS. NOT. THERE!

"Rick?" I heard Hershel

"Rick?" I heard Hailey whispered

Looking back up, I saw tears starting for form behind Hailey's eyes. It shocked me, Hailey was always the tough one. Never crying, always happy and never showing many of her emotion. I glad she's alive, that's she made it so far and by herself, so it seems.

"Dad?" Carl said looking at me

Letting out a sigh I looked at everybody, wait one my answer on knowing her. Daryl waiting to pop an arrow in the middle of her forehead.

"I-I know, no we. Carl and I know this woman." I told everybody

"So who is she Rick?" Glen asked

"You could just asked me and I would have told you." Hailey muttered

"Did we ask for your input? No! So shut up!" Daryl yelled

"What did you just say to me!" She yelled

"Can we all calm down. And deal with this the easy way." Said Maggie

"Easy way would be to pop an arrow in her head." Daryl said

"No the easy way would be to 'pop' a bullet in your TINY DICK." Hailey said looking at Daryl

I could hear Michonne laughing under her breath, actually everyone was slightly. No one ever talked to Daryl that way. This is the Hailey I knew, it seemed that the apocalypse hasn't change her at all.

"Her name is Hailey Wayne. And she's....she's..." I said started to cry at the end.

"Lori younger sister." Hailey said

I heard everybody gasp and look at each other nervously, even Daryl slowly lowing his bow at the news that was just giving.

"Speaking of which. Where is my sister? Is she inside?" She asked looking at me

Biting my lip, I looked down and away from her gaze. How am I suppose to tell her that her older sister, my wife is dead.

"Aunt Hailey, I just recently got a baby sister..." Carl started off

I quickly saw what looked like pain and hurt flashed in her face hearing about Judith. But why? Hailey covered the looked and smiled brightly at Carl. A smile that could make any man swoon and melt, even me.

"Oh my god! I..I have a niece. Can I meet her? Knowing Lori she not letting anybody hold her huh, just like when Carl was born. Right Rick." She said

"No Hailey. What Carl was trying to say is." I started to say looking at her.

Her head was tilted to the side slightly, like a puppy. Adorable. I couldn't tell her. Couldn't hurt her like I would if I told her Lori is dead. Looking at Hershel I pleded with him to tell Hailey the news. He nodded.

"Hailey...what Rick and Carl is trying to tell you is." He sighed, "Lori did give birth to a beautiful baby girl, but she didn't make it though the child birth. To much complications."

Right after Hershel told Hailey this she began pacing back and forth, while continuously running her hand through her hair.

"S-so let me get this straight. You. You're telling me that my only sibling is.. d-DEAD!" Hailey forced out strongly

She looked at everybody in the group who slowly nodded their heads to her, with tears wanting to spring out of their eyes. Just like when we all first got the news.

"R-rick?" I heard Hailey called to me

Looking at her, she looked back at me wanting confirmation on what everybody seemed to be telling her. Slowly as well, I nodded my head yes. You could see big tears build up behind her hazel green eyes. Biting her lip Hailey began shaking her head and stumble back away from the group.

"No. No no no no no! NOOOOOO!" She screamed dropping to her knees, "LORI!!!!!"

Carl and I ran to her and hugged her tightly as she gripped onto us, crying.

"Shh. Shh. I'm here. I'm here. I'm not going to let you go Hailey, you hear me. You are not going to be alone." I whispered to her as Carl kissed her head

In the corner of my eye I saw Beth and Carol carrying little Judith outside the prison and walk towards us. Soon everybody head lifted up at the last bit of the group members reaching us.

"I'm sorry Rick, I can tell a lot of things is going on right now." Carol said with her eyes narrowed on Hailey with suspicion

"What is it?" I asked letting go of Hailey

"Its Judith." Beth said struggling with the constantly moving baby in her arms, "She wont calm down. She usually is fine with a bottle and she's right to sleep."

"We don't know what's wrong." Carol said

Hailey looked up at hearing a baby scream/cry

"Let. Let me see her Rick. Please." she said looking at me

Nodding my head, I motion Beth to give Hailey Judith. Scared Beth blinked her doe blue eyes and moved closer to her. She smiled slightly when Hailey had her hands on the baby.

"Hi little one." Hailey cooed her, "You look just like your mommy when she was born."

It was weird in an instant as Hailey's hands were holding Judith she began to quiet down. And at the sound of her voice, she smiled her first smile at Hailey. A smile formed on all of our faces even bad ass Daryl. Hailey got up carefully and looked at me, biting her lip trying not to smile.

"Is it time for her bed time?" She questioned

"Yeah." Beth said as she began to reached for Judith

Judith began to whine and cuddle more into Hailey.

"Oh...uh." Hailey stuttered

"Its fine. I can show you where she sleeps if you want." Beth asked

"You are staying aren't you Aunt Lele." Carl asked

"If your people let me." She said

"Your staying Hailey. We're family. Carl go ahead show her a cell."

Carl smiled in what seemed a long time. Grabbing Hailey's arm lightly, he and also Beth walked into cell block C.

"Do you think it is wise to just let her waltz right in here, Rick?" Daryl asked me

"What you mean?" I asked

"Well my brother is locked up just coming here and Hailey is just free to get a cell." He said

"Merle is dangerous and you know that Daryl." I told him

"And she ain't?" He said

"I get what Daryl is saying Rick. When was the last time you seen Hailey?" Asked Glen

I get there point but Hailey was by herself and now just found her family and lost a sister all at the same time. And its true to what they say, the last time I saw her was years. I think it was when Lori and I tried to set her and Shane up. I wonder what happened there? Nodding my head saying I agree with them, we all walked back into the prison.

"Once we get in there, I'll tell her she needs to surrender her weapons." I told them

Reaching the cell block is when we heard one of the most beautiful voice singing. I knew it was Hailey. It was the same lullaby she sang to Carl as a baby.
