Allison (rewritten)

Ooooh Baby

Beth was carrying the baby around with Zeb on her heels. She thought it was funny but she loved the company of a tiger.

I was sitting on the steps inside not sure what to do today. Glenn and Maggie went out for some more formula before we ran out. They said it goes fast, especially with a newborn.

"What are you doing sitting here?" Daryl grunted sitting above me.

"I honestly don't know." I laughed. "Not sure what to do."

"Come with me." He whispered.

I got up and followed him down the hall into a boiler room or whatever it was. He closed the door and sat up on the table in the corner. "It's quieter." He shrugged.

"Needed a break from the baby huh?" I laughed leaning against the table beside him.

"Pretty much." He laughed.

"And, I'm here. Why?" I chuckled.

He jumped off the table and walked in front of me. "To do this."

He leaned down, mashing his mouth into mine. His hands cupped my face. My hands got tangled in his hair. Next thing I knew, were sort of undressing each other. Hungry almost.

********

Sitting outside now with everybody, Rick came out of the prison finally. He took the baby and held her for a few minutes until he handed her to Carl and walked down the path to the fence.

Carl handed the baby to Beth and followed his dad. We didn't know what was going on.

Shots rang out and I jumped the fence and ran down the hill. There was a woman unconscious laying on the ground with formula beside her.

"Was she bit?" I leaned over her.

"Shot." Rick confirmed. "Help me get her in. Carl grab the formula."

I grabbed her arm and slung it over my shoulder while Rick grabbed her other arm. We drug her limp body through the gates then shut it back.

He half ran half walked back up to the others. They all followed us back inside. Carol grabbed some blankets and threw them down so we could lay her down on the floor.

"Beth bring me some water." Rick shouted.

Beth put the baby down and grabbed a bottle water running it to Rick. He poured it over the woman's chest, waking her up.

"You got a name?" He asked.

She didn't answer. So he asked again. Still no answer. He helped her up to her feet and sit her down at a table.

"Why'd you come here?" He asked. "And why'd you have formula?"

She wouldn't answer so he grabbed her wounded leg.

She jumped up all mad and screamed "don't you ever touch me."

"Why'd you come here and why'd you have formula?" He asked again. He drew his gun up and asked again.

"Rick!" I shouted. "Step away."

I stepped forward in front of the woman. "I'm Allison."

"Michonne." She whispered.

"Michonne." I nodded. "Why did you come here and with formula?"

"The formula was dropped by an Asian guy and pretty girl." She muttered.

"Where are they?" I asked.

"They were taken. To a town called Woodbury." She looked at Rick then back to me. "They said there was a prison and which direction it was. So I came here."

"You did the right thing." I nodded at her.

Rick spoke up. "This is Hershel, the father of the girl was taken. He can treat that."

"Allison?" Michonne grabbed my arm. "I can help get them back. I'll take you there."

I drew a sword from my hand. "Just know, I'm not normal. If it's a trap, everyone and everything there will be dead." I drew my sword back in and walked away from her.

"You shouldn't have shown her." Daryl grunted. "There's no telling what she could do or if we can trust her."

"I did so she knows I'm not playing games." I rolled my eyes.

"I just want you safe babe." He grumbled. "Seriously."

"And I can take care of myself." I groaned.

"I know." He nodded. "I just care about you." He grabbed my waist. "By the way." He whispered in my ear. "You can't take care of yourself like I can."

I punched him in the shoulder trying not to laugh at what he meant. "You're such a perv."

"But you like it." He laughed. "I didn't hear no complaints earlier."

"Guys!" Carl shouted from the cells. "Come check this out."

We walked in and seen Carol laying on her bunk. Everyone swarmed inside hugging her. Especially Daryl.

I walked away and headed to see Beth.

"Hey, Allison." Beth waved.

"Hey hun." I sat down on her bed and smiled. "You doing ok?"

"I'm good." She nodded. "She's a hungry little thing." She laughed.

"She's a newborn." I shrugged. "I don't know much about them."

"Me neither." She shook her head. "Are you guys going to get Maggie and Glenn back?"

"We are." I nodded. "I promise you."

"I'm not worried." She shrugged. "You're going."

"I am." I laughed. "I'm ready. But if I get shot or anything, I'll need that serum. I don't know what the last drop will do."

"Don't get shot." She frowned.

And that I will try like hell not to get shot or stabbed. But I'm not afraid. I'm ready. For whatever this world throws at me.

"Allison!" Rick shouted into the block. "We're going!"

I hugged Beth and kissed he babies head. "Zeb will be here with you."

I ran from the cell and outside with everyone who was going.

We climbed into the car and started out the gates leaving the prison behind us. Daryl sat in the back with me so Michonne could show Rick where to go and when to stop. He grabbed my hand and never let it go.

I think I'm getting more than what I bargained for. I don't mind, but how long do they have? That's what worries me. That's what scares me.
