Getting Better

1 Year Later

Carl's POV

It's been a year after everything went down with Vlad and things have been getting better, not perfect, but we're getting there.  In fact, things are almost like the way they used to be.  Other than the fact that people still come back from the dead.  Most of the former Blaze Tribe members were ok with the change in leadership and accepted it.  Although I can tell that some of them aren't fully accepting of it. 

Since I've been in charge everyone has been assigned a job.  Zelda has been put in charge of the infirmary and works with former Blaze Tribe member and former prisoners who also have medical experience.  Rachel, Keith and Katie have been training people.  Katie trains people with guns and how to shoot, Rachel trains people with melee weapons, and Keith trains people with hand to hand combat.  Maggie and Mark have started planting vegetables and crops which ended up being where the majority of the food for Boston comes from.  Maggie also helps me when it comes to big picture stuff for the community.  Amy has started a daycare for all the babies and toddlers including Judith, Hershel, Emily (Tommy and Amy's daughter), and RJ (my brother).  Michonne, Tommy, and Joey are head of security and spend most of their time on watch.  Blake and Ted are in charge of going out on runs.  Each week they'll switch off and take a group out for a few days.  As for me, being in charge I mainly just make sure everything's running smoothly and help people's problems when they come to me with them.

My eye shoot open after hearing the door knock several times.  I look over at Blake who roles over and groans pretending not to hear it.

"Come on, we gotta get up."  I told him as I throw the blanket off of us and stand up.

"But whyyyyyyy?"  He wined.

"Because we promised we'd watch the kids today for Amy."  I remind him.

"But whyyyyyyy?"  He wined once again.

"Because Amy and Tommy are getting married tonight and she still has a lot on her plate."  I told him as I put on my shirt and pants.  "And you agreed to do it."

"Ugh."  He groaned before putting the pillow over his head.

I rolled my eyes before walking downstairs and getting the door.  As soon as I open it Amy walks in holding Emily.

"Good morning."  Amy told me.  "Where's Blake."

"He's coming."  I told him.  "So how many kids are supposed to be here?"

"Maggie said she'll drop Hershel off in about and hour and obviously Judith and RJ are already here.  So I think there should be five more."  She told me.

"Looks like Blake's gonna have his hands full."  I said.

"I guess he is."  She laughed.

"Morning."  I hear Blake say tiredly.
