The World Isn't Over Yet

*CHAPTER WRITING BY @graceisaloser_   WITH SOMETHINGS HERE AND THERE ADDED BY YOURS TRULY 

Jayden's POV

It's been over 3 years and 4 months into the outbreak, I'm now being held captive, by someone who is worse than the walkers themselves, my attacker and the father of my son. He was born a month premature and I left a month after his birth, I was told he was dead. I never named him, didn't want to either. After making the decision to kill my father and escape my attackers, and the only group who care, I left my son behind without a mother figure in his life and living with those assholes. And now this was end, I'd never be able to see my son ever.

"Hey, miss mute, remember that little boy you watched for us? The one you named after your best friend, yeah, that's Jayden's son!" 

Grace's eyes widen and tear up a bit, I gasped slightly.

 "You only ever spoke to that little shit, only quietly too, what is wrong with you you stupid bitch!" 

Chad kicked Grace's leg making her fall, she didn't make a sound. 

"Grace!"

 Dan screamed. She just used sign language and said something to him that made him back away from our captors. 

"Go on, tell them his name, tell them how much you loved that kid." 

Grace began to sign and Dan spoke as she did, "I named him Danny, after Dan. I loved him like my own son, I thought Dan was dead so I decided to name him after Dan. He made me happy, he made me feel worth." 

Dan just smiled and teared up a bit, suddenly Chad laughed and kicked Grace in the side. She made a small whimper and I could see something spark in not just Dan but Phil as well. 

"What the fuck!" 

Dan yelled. 

"What? Are you sad that I'm hurting your dumbass girlfriend's side more?! She's worthless. Both of these girls are!"

 Chad plunged the knife into her shoulder.

Grace POV

I felt the knife plunge into shoulder, I flinched and whimpered. Still I didn't scream, I couldn't. I began to sob quietly not out of pain, but sadness, I didn't want to leave Danny, I had to. I missed him. I looked over to Dan who looked ready to murder, I shook my head. Dan looked down at me, a sad look on his face.

I looked over to Jayden and mouthed an "I'm sorry." She shook her head and smiled slightly at me, suddenly Mason punched her in the face, she made a small scream.

 "Please! Stop!" 

Jayden yelled. He continued to punch and beat her. 

"Leave. The. Girls. Alone." 

I heard a voice say.

Jayden POV

Ethan came out kicked him the leg with more force then anyone thought he had, and stole his gun holding it to Mason's head.

 "Let them go." 

Chad and Mason let us go and I helped Grace to her feet as she whimpered, I brought her over to Dan who immediately put her on his back and she closed her eyes. I heard a gun go off, Ethan had shot Mason in the leg, Chad had wet himself. 

"Take us to your camp. Now!"

 Ethan demanded.

*time skip brought to you by a lazy Grace! Who has takin over for writing this chapter*

We had entered the camp, Grace had waken up and was now running around looking for food and supplies with Dan, Mark and Phil. We all followed behind them slowly. 

Ethan kept watch of dickhead one and two. As I turned the corner I saw Grace on the ground, crying with her arms out, talking very quietly but it was still audible though no one could here how her voice sounded.

 "C'mon baby, you can do it. C'mere love." 

She said as a baby crawled over to her. She hugged Danny close and cried, Dan had a hand on her shoulder and smiled down at her. 

Danny made a series of baby noises and played with Grace's long, dirty, dark hair. She rocked him back and forth in her arms and smiled. I've never seen her this happy, besides when she saw Dan for the first time in what was probably years. 

"She looks so happy."  

I said, slightly smiling over at her. I was disappointed to not be a mother figure... god Im so selfish.. 

She just smiled at me and held out Danny. She mouthed something for me and Dan translated it, 

"Do you wanna hold him? He is your son after all." 

She said (well sorta) while smiling. I hesitated, but nodded Grace passed me Danny and I smiled down at him, he softly put his hand on my face and giggled. A tear slipped down my face and I smiled. I saw Grace smile and hug Dan.

This was it... this was my son. I put my head down and looked into his beautiful eyes, they had the same sparkle as jacks and when I looked at him I never once thought. 'This was the creation of a horrible act.' But I did think 'Shit this is my son.'

I put my head on his and touched noses with him.. I guess there was another male for me after all.. I'd trust this one for my life, even give him my life..

Grace POV

You could really tell Jayden and Danny were related, they looked so similar, I smiled knowing that Danny was safe. I tugged on Dan's sleeve and he looked down at me. I whispered into his ear and he nodded. 

"Hey guys, Grace knows somewhere we can stay for a bit, there are actual beds and rooms." 

Everyone nodded after decussing away from mason and chad who was still terrified at the blue boys gun. Serves them right . I took Dan's hand and began to walk, after we ditched the men in the woods making them feel as worthless and scared as Jayden and I once did. Danny was started to look at me, it secretly broke Jayden's heart but I was the only who raised him for a while so it only made sense. 

Jayden handed Danny back to me and I smiled holding him. Dan wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we walked and we heard a series of whistles and 'ooo's as we walked, Dan just chuckled.

We made it to my old house, my group home um sorry, home is supposed to have a positive effect, I don't know why anyone would call it home. I only feel at home with dan

. I walked to the door and and took a key from my bra (because I'm a female hush) and unlocked it. Still left untouched, no zombies, no people, electricity still running, fairly warm, I smiled and walked around, everything was in perfect shape, the way we all left it, it was in the woods so we didn't leave as soon as the outbreak started plus it was in the woods, hard for anyone to find let alone those things or as Jayden would say 'brainless stupid motherfuckers who eats people because they being stupid'

*Flashback*

I entered the home, my group home. I didn't want to be here but I had no choice, no one would foster me. I got looks from some people, 

"Hello! You must be Grace! I'm Ms. Jackson, would you like to say hello?" 

I shook my head, I just wanted to go back home, back to my friends, back to Phil, Back to Dan... but after my father got arrested I had no where to go. A tear slipped from my eyes as I remembered what my father did, so many horrid things to me and my mother, beatings, rape, then the night he killed her, now I'm here.

*flashback over*

Dan POV

I saw a tear slip from Grace's eye, I rubbed her back and looked at her. 

"I know it's hard, love. But you're strong, you can do this."
