The youngest dixon (a beth greene love story (the walking dead))

Lori

The cells were split up, with two In each cell. five On the bottom five on top. Hershel was staying in the first cell alone. we decided it was more of an infirmary. we kept all of the medicine and supplies that Carl and bailey found earlier in there. next to it was Maggie and Glenn. they were first ones to settle into their beds. Rick and Lori, and then Carol and t-dog, the last one was filled with supplies from our runs. we kept all our food in the kitchen. Daryl and c.j were I the cell closest to the door on the top floor. then robin and Bryce were shareing so we didn't have to separate all the toys and kept them in one place then it was bailey and Carl. The last two, I stood there starring. wondering if I share with Beth or share with that little...nvm that kid. Ill just put all my stuff on the shelves and sleep on top bunk. I put all my weapons and bags on the shelf and climbed into the bunk and tried to sleep.

No matter how hard I tried I couldn't. I heard running coming up the stairs and I squeezed my eyes shut tightly. "John I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking it just happened." she was cryin I could hear it. I rolled over and looked at her. "dont worry about it, no hard feelings. We weren't officially dateing anyway. I turned back around and listened to her whimper. I tuned it out and fell asleep.

"John wake up" Carl whispered In my ear. I opened an eye and just stared at him. "yes carl" he nudged me. Come on Hershel's up and walking On crutches! were all goin outside. outside! it's been forever it seems since is be been outside. I ran out with Carl close behind me. Lori smiled when she saw us running out. "good morning john" Lori hugged me. believe it or not but sometimes I think Lori thought she was my mom. it's ok I like it feeling like I belonged. and Carl was like an adopted brother don't matter still love him like he is a brother. c.j came running to me. she kissed me on the forehead wrapping me In a hug. why is everyone being so nice to me. "hiya sunshine" c.j beamed at me. I looked behind her. Beth was snuggled close to Austin. she looked small and scared. that's why everyone was being nice. they knew I loved her and I lost her. I ignored them and kept walking to the field. I was playing a hand game with bailey Carl and robin that, Bryce was teaching us. until we were cut off by carol screaming at us to run.

My head shot up to Hershel limping over here followed by lots of walkers. Beth ran to help him and trapped herself and Hershel behind a gate. Carl, bailey, and Lori drag me into the tombs with them. I look around to make sure robin is ok. carol picked her up and started to run. "carol watch out!" their was a walker behind her. I tried to run but baileys sobs stopped me. I saw a tomahawk plant into the walkers head and looked around. I sent Austin a silent thank you and I knew I had to forgive him. he's helped both of my girls now. robin's life and Beth a shoulder to cry on when I hurt her. but she hurt me first.

Bailey and Carl were taking up the front shooting walkers while I took up behind. we were running until Lori stopped abruptly. "Lori we have to keep moving." bailey whispered while grabbing her hand. "John the baby is coming" she looked to me alarmed. shit what am I going to do I don't know how to do this stuff. Carl pointed to a door. it was our best bet because all you could see was the herd behind us. I put one of my arms on loris back and the other behind her knees and picked her up. bailey and Carl watched my back as I ran to the room. Carl locked it behind him. I set Lori down on the floor. "are you ok." she looked scared but she sounded so confident. "I'm ok" I was terrified. "what do I do now?"

"John this baby is coming now!" Lori screamed in pain. I flinched. she was crying. Carl and bailey took her hands in theirs. I helped Lori pull off her pants and told her to push. "come on Lori, it's gunna be ok." I saw a lot of blood and that about it. "Lori I think something is wrong. all ther is is b-b-blood and that's it." she sighed a tear slipping down her cheek. she lifted up her shirt. "see that c-section scar." I did. I nodded not liking weren't was going. u need to cut along that line. Carl has a knife you can use but don't cut deep because of the baby. she wanted me to cut her open.

I tensed and squeezed my eyes shut. I didn't like this at all. "Carl baby, I need you to be strong. whatever you think is right don't do it, if you think it's wrong it's probably wrong. this world is different now and things have to be taken a different way. bailey you and Carl are close I know, I need you to keep him the same keep him going don't let my baby be changed by this world. John I've loved and cared for you as if you were my son since I saw you playing with Carl and Sophia at that highway. you're part of this group, this family as much as you don't think you are, you are. I need you to promise me something. all of you." we all nodded looking at her. "you have to promise you guys won't change because the world has. the group needs this baby to know things can still live here. you guy need to protect it. tell the baby i love it everyday and don't let anything happen to it. Carl keep memories of me strong and don't let your dad drift away. everyone needs each other." Carl and bailey were crying. I was trying hard not to. Lori kissed me and bailey on the forehead then she went to Carl an hugged him. he cried into her shoulder. she whispered something in his ear then moved her head back, she kissed his forehead for along time. after putting her head back down she whispered. "all of you stay strong" she nodded to me, and I softly glided the knife across her scar. all I heard was Carl yelling at me to stop cause I was killing her, baileys heart shacking sobs. and the screams of Lori dying, because of me.
