Maya's pov
I woke up and groaned getting up very slowly. My hair in knots and everywhere. I reached over grabbing my boots from the floor and placed them on my feet before walking out of my cell. Down the stairs, I saw the cell doors opened. Carl was there and he smiled the minute he saw me.
" Morning."
" Morning loser." I teased when Carl opened it for me and let me in along with Beth who was holding Judith. The minute everyone saw a baby, they were shocked and stared.
" How old is the baby ?"
" Barely a week." Hershel answered while the women smiled and walked over to Beth and Judith.
" To be honest, we never thought we'd see another baby. Beautiful."
" Thanks."
" How are you feeling ?" The women asked making everyone go quiet. Everyone knew why she asked, but the answer was still fresh and wounded.
" She's not mine."
" Where's her mother ?"
" Dead." I said out loud being the only one to really say it. It was the truth. No reason to sugar coat it. Carl was thankful I had said it and not him.
" I'm sorry."
The man spoke looking sadly to the group." Man, you people have been through the mill."
" Haven't we all ?"
" It's only getting worse out there."
" Who said it was going to get better ?" I asked leading against the wall while Hershel came over.
" Dead everywhere and it's only making the living less like the living."
" You're the only decent folks we've come across."
" You've been out there all this time ?"
" Our neighbor Jerry, he was one of those survivalist nuts. Everybody on the block thought he was crazy. Always preparing for the end of the world."
" Who knew ?" I said with a laugh taking a glance to the prison around them." Who knew ?"
" Jerry knew. He had a bunker under his shed in the backyard. Sasha and I stayed there until we ran out of supplies. Allen and Ben were the first two people we ran into when we finally crawled up out of the hole around Jacksonville. Used to be a bunch of us. Twenty five at one point."
" Our camp was overrun six, seven weeks ago."
" And...and Donna, she, uh..."
" We'll see that she had a proper burial." Hershel said making Tyreese smile and nod his head to him.
" I appreciate you taking care of us. For a while, we didn't know who we were dealing with."
" Neither did we. We've had our problems with people."
" I must be the first brother in history to break into prison."
