Haven

Prologue

GRACE'S POV

" How the hell can you do this to us? " I yelled at him as he closed his suitcase.
I couldn't believe it
He was actually leaving us. Hannah was only 4 months old. He was abandoning our daughter. He was abandoning me. I thought he loved me, loved us. But I was wrong. I should have known. He was coming home later and later. He smelled of a woman's perfume and the lipstick stains on his shirt. I knew that we were going to break up. I knew that I wasn't in love anymore but I stayed and ignored it. For Hannah. She deserved a father. But looks like Chase didn't think so. I stood there and held Hannah close as I watched him leave. I cried. But not because I was broken hearted but because my daughter would grow up without a father. I needed to leave this house. I decided to go to go to Levi's house. I grabbed some clothes put them in my backpack and grabbed all of Hannah's essentials. After that I got in my car and drove over. It was Daniel, my twin brother, who opened the door.

" Oh darling? What's wrong? " he asked.
Instead of answering I cried, walked in and handed Hannah to Levi, who was on the couch, . I then walked to their fridge and took their ice-cream out. I ate it and they were nice enough to know I needed some space. They played with Hannah until I was ready. I put the ice-cream down on their coffee table.

" Okay. Spill. What the hell has got you so down? " asks Levi.

" Chase left. " I deadpan.

" Where's my gun? " Daniel asks Levi.

" As much as I would like seeing my ex fiancé being shot, I don't want you to go to jail. I love you too much and my daughter needs both of her uncles. " I say with a small smile.

" What a shame. I hope he contracts the virus that's been going around. " Levi states.
This sparks my attention.

" Virus? Really? How do you get it? " I asked fearing that Hannah could catch something.

" Don't worry my niece can't catch it. You have to exchange bodily fluids with an infected to be contaminated. " my brother reassures me.

" Oh okay. I haven't heard about it though."

" Well that's normal. You don't watch the news do you? "

" I usually do but lately I've been a bit busy with you know... " I said referring to the current situation. " show me some videos. " I said as I got up to put Hannah in the crib that they had bought for when she'd sleepover.

Once I was back they showed me the videos. It looked like zombies to be honest. It's true I had a bit of an obsession with zombies and the whole idea of a zombie apocalypse. Now that it could actually be happening it scared the shit out of me. But then again it could be my over active imagination. I hope I'm wrong.

" Hey Grace? " Danny said

" Yeah? "

" You don't think it could be..." my brother trailed off.

As twins we shared a lot of interests as kids. And zombies being one of them. He looked at me and I knew we were thinking the same thing. Zombies.

" I hope not " we say at the same time.

" We don't need to worry since it's literally impossible. " we say at the same time again.

" OK. Now you're freaking me out. Yes you have that twin telepathy and can read each other's minds and all but I don't. So would you please tell me what's going on." Levi said.

" It looks like the start of a zombie apocalypse. " we answer.

" You're kidding right?" He asked. When we didn't answer he said " Shit."

______________________________

So I am writing this too. I read a lot of zombie apocalypse books and I always wondered what it would be like to have a baby in the apocalypse. One day while I was watching Z nation and they found the baby I was like yay wait to see how it goes. But then the baby turned and ate the ass hole soldier. So I'm like why not write my own story. So I did. Here it is hope you like it.

XOXO,
