Alone & Lost

8.) Dangers

"I don't know," Navy shook her head, Henry's arm tightly wrapped around her waist. Out of nowhere, her eyes watered and she started crying. Henry pulled her close, nuzzling her head into his chest as she cried. "I'm sorry. I'm a hormonal mess." She lifted her head up and placed it sideways on his chest, wiping her tear stains. "Cooper... he's amazing. Daryl said he just took off and I think he sensed that I was in danger or something. When that man touched me - I, I'll never forget Cooper's face. If Cooper wasn't there, I..." she placed her hand on her lower stomach.

"It's okay," Henry held her tight. "There was a flu outbreak at the Kingdom. They sent a few of the children here and some to the Hilltop... Sam is going to stay with Judith, okay? You're okay. I don't want you leaving those walls. Not until he or she is born and both of you are healthy... not until I'm healthy enough." He sighed. "That's the thing. You're too damn gorgeous, everybody wants you."

"Shh," Navy hissed. Henry grinned. She sighed. "Daryl knows everything that happened. I'm staying with you for a little bit. I just want to sit back for once and let everybody else handle things."

"That's a good-"

"Mommy!" Sam screeched. Navy jumped up, running out of the room, through the hallways and into Sam's room.

"What's wrong?!" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows as she saw her son was only coloring. He held up a picture.

"Look at my Dino-saur," he pronounced.

"What?" She asked, catching her breath as her heart rate sped. She was so concerned something bad had happened to him.

"I draws a - really cool - dinosaur," he smiled. "Looks at his teef!"

Navy shook her head, smiling softly. She kneeled down, holding his hands and pulling him into a hug. "Don't scare me like that, Sammy."

"I'm sowwy Mommy. I didn't wants to scares you," he said in a gentle voice as she held his hands, examining his face.

"It's okay. I missed you, baby. And you won't be seeing too much of Daddy and I for a little bit. Stay with Daddy and I tonight."

"Otay!" He grinned. He made sure to pick up his paper before following his mom out of the room. When they got back to Henry's room, Sam didn't hesitate. He jumped on the bed, climbing on top of Henry and grinning, shoving the paper in his face. "I drawed a very really kewl Die-no-sore! Look atch it! Looks atch his teef!"

Henry widened his eyes, holding the paper with a small smile. "Sharp teeth," Henry smiled.

"Daddy it's a die-"

"Yup," Henry nodded. "Dinosaur." He looked at Navy, who was standing above the bed with her arms crossed. "Language is decreasing," Henry mumbled, trying to sound intelligent so their son didn't understand.

"Yeah. I know. I'm gonna ask Judith to take him to school with her, maybe it'll help him. Judith can protect him," Navy said as she climbed underneath the covers. Sam soon climbed in as well, when a familiar, lavender scented four legged friend hopped up on the bed with them. "We're gonna need a bigger bed," Navy mumbled as she rested her head on Henry's chest. He smiled.

***

She was on watch.

The person who was supposed to be on watch, wasn't. She's up on the gates, waiting for Saddiq to find a new person to take watch.

She saw something.

And then she didn't.

It's weird how bad things always happen to her. It's kind of like she's in some shitty story or something, the ones where the main character always gets hurt? Haha. Ha. Ha. Funny.

Yeah, anyways, Navy got knocked out.
