The apocalypse in their own eyes

chapter 8: Outbreak

1 month and 20 days later.

Me and Suzanne were walking about the Base. We seen a convoy of cars pull in with people from outside pulling in. Suddenly Suzanne stopped and just looked at the crowd I looked at the person she was looking at, he was Caucasian, about 6 foot, well built, blond hair and smoking a cigarette. He looked over and saw Suzanne and started to walk over

"Jonathan no, stay back"

"Suzanne baby please"

"no John, stay away from me"

"Suzanne come here"

"hey cunt she said no"

"who the fuck are you"

"I'm her husband if you have to know"

"is this true Suzanne, did he take you from me"

"Jonathan we were never together, you were kicked out of  the bunker, you tried to rape me because I said no to you"

"I never did, we were meant to be"

"asshole my wife said no, now leave her before I arrest you"

"come on then do it"

After that he threw a punch amd connected with my jaw dislocating it, I fell to the ground and put my jaw back in place. While I was down he tried to grab Suzanne. I got up and tackled him to the ground before punching him in the face repeatedly. We kept fighting till he stopped, both our faces were bloody and bruised. He was unconscious on the floor. Eventually some of the police came over and arrested us both.

An hour later I was in an interview room, still covered in blood.

"Gemmell what were you doing"

"he punched me first, tried to grab my wife and we ended up fighting. You cam ask Suzanne and anyone there he threw the first punch.

I was kept in a cell for the night, wasn't even allowed to get cleaned. My top was covered In blood, I had wrapped my hands in some bandages I had. I never slept that night either. At abiut 7 the next morning the door was opened amd I was let out. My first stop was the med bay cause I was still bleeding a bit from a few of my cuts. After that I went home. Suzanne was inside crying, when I got in she ram up and hugged me and wouldn't let go for about 25 minutes. We just stayed in that day to try and recover.

At about 03:00 Suzanne woke me up in pain, I lifted the cover off amd then saw a wet patch on the bed, I grabbed one of the room keys stuck it in my pocket, picked her up and ran to the med bay, when I got there I kicked the first door open a nurse came over amd gave us a wheelchair after that we ram to the operating room.

"Doc she's gone into labour, I'm not trained for this shit."

"right. Your a medic yes?"

"yes"

"right your going to learn what to do hell of a quick"

The nurse came in and out with different things for the doctor I was doing what he said but had no fucking idea what to do.

After a few hours Suzanne had given birth to a girl.
We named her Amy Samantha Gemmell, Suzanne picked the first name because of her sister who was killed at the start of the apocalypse and I picked the middle name because of my best friend Sam.

Suzanne was in the hospital for a few days. I had armed guards standing at the door incase Jonathan tried to get in and  do anything.

The day before Suzanne was due to leave I was asked to go back to work because my replacement medic was killed on a run, so I went to see her during my lunch break
