Pregnant!?! (The Last Of Us Fanfic)

New Living

Ellie POV

"NO!!" I scream out as they start to unlock Joel's cell.

"Please!" I feel tears streaming down my face as I bang on the cell. "Please! He's all I got! I can't do this alone. It's either both of us or neither of us,"

Finn walks over to my cell and he starts to unlock it as well.

"Finn," Clara says. "What are you doing?"

"Ellie just declined membership, so they both will be executed," He says to her, opening my cell.

I run at him with all my strength and try to push him over, but he stops me as if I am nothing and holds me tight. I feel very weak and end up falling to the ground. I'm breathing heavily and see Joel literally get dragged out of his cell.

"Ron, we have to let them both in. It will make things easier," Clara says to Ron and they drag Joel out of his cell.

I can taste my tears now as they drag him out. Joel looks at me with tears in his eyes, but also with an angry expression. He struggles against the two elders but pries himself from their grasp. I break out of Finn's grasp, reaching for Joel.

Joel grabs me and pulls me close, I can feel tears running down my bare back. I can also feel my own tears falling down my face and onto Joel's back. We hold each other tight, nothing can break us apart. I feel hands grab my waist and pull me backwards, trying to wring me from Joel's embrace. Joel is also being pulled back from me.

Within seconds, they succeed. They forcefully pull both of us back and both Joel and I are using whatever strength we got left to try and get out of their arms. Within seconds, we both stop because we have no energy. We have a little left to yell out.

Joel and I are yelling towards one another but at the three people who tore us apart. Clara looks at both of us and shakes her head, yelling,

"Stop! Everyone stop yelling and listen to me!"

Good thing these walls bounce off one another or I wouldn't have been able to hear her. Joel is still wiggling and I loose all my strength in my body. My legs start to feel fuzzy as if they were falling asleep, then my knees start to burn. My head starts to spin, my vision going black and I try to hold on. I'm not dying, I just feel a little too dizzy. I then fall to the ground.

Joel POV

I see Ellie fall to the ground right after Clara ended the screaming. I instinctively lurch forward and try to get to her, but my own body fails me and I'm on all fours. Swearing under my breath, I look up at Clara,

"Do anything you want to me, but do not hurt my baby girl," I say with full sincerity.

Clara nods at me then at Finn.

"Take her upstairs and get her dressed. Make sure it's warm clothing, it's a cold night out there," She says.

"Yes Ma'am," Finn says. He bends over to Ellie and places her arms and legs in a way that would make her easier to carry. He then picks Ellie up, standing up himself, and walks back to the stairs they came from. I continue to watch until they are out of sight.

"So, Joel. Will you be willing to cooperate with us and our community? For the sake of yourself and for the sake of your daughter?" Clara says to me, grabbing my shoulder.

I look from the floor to her eyes,

"Yes. I will," I say with a bit of annoyance.

"Great. We will also take you upstairs to dress and Ron will show you where you will be sleeping," she says to me while letting go of my shoulder "Don't worry, Ellie will be fine,"
