Gracie's POV
I jerk awake from my nightmare and my eyes immediately fall on Carl who is reading a comic with a flashlight
"Did I wake you?" Carl asks as he glances over and sees that I'm awake while I slow my breathing
"No. Not at all. Just a nightmare," I say softly as I tuck my hand between my cheek and the pillow
"What time is it?" I ask
"About three in the morning." Carl says as he tosses his comic book in the floor before turning onto his side and facing me
"What was it about? The nightmare, I mean." Carl asks
"Do you think we'll ever grow old?" I ask as I stare into his blue orbs
"I wanna say yeah, but I don't know. Why?" Carl asks as he tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear
"I just-- I don't-- I wanna--" I stumble with my words
"You can tell me anything." Carl states
"I wanna get married and have kids some day." I say
"So do I." Carl says with a small smile before kissing my lips
He grips the side of my neck and deepens the kiss. He traces my bottom lip with his tongue begging for entrance and I gladly grant him access before he pulls me on top of him. I tangle my hands into his chocolate brown locks as his hands grip my hips
*30 Minutes Later*
Carl plops back down on his side of the bed as we both attempt to catch our breath
"Whoa." Carl says breathlessly
"Yeah." I reply
*3 Hours Later*
"Mornin', Rick." I say with a small smile as I exit Carl and I's cell
"He still asleep?" Rick asks as he motions his head towards Carl and I's cell
"Yeah." I say as I nod my head
"Didn't go to sleep till nearly four." I add causing Rick to grin
"Him and those comics." Rick says with a small laugh as I nod my head and my cheeks heat up
"I'm gonna go make my rounds." I say with a small smile before I head out of the cell block
*30 Minutes Later*
I enter D block and see blood everywhere and everyone is screaming
"Gracie!" Mika yells as her and Lizzie run towards me
"Walkers!" Lizzie yells as they reach me
"Go get help." I say before walking further into the cell block as I pull my knife out
A walker stumbles out of a cell in front of me
I quickly stab it in the head before a gunshot fills my ears
I turn around and see a guy from the Macon group holding a shotgun
"Move!" Daryl says as he snatches the shotgun from the guy
"Daryl!" Rick yells as he enters the cell block as well
Another walker stumbles towards me
"Grace, are you bit?!" Rick yells over the screaming and walker moans
"No!" I yell back as I push the walker against the wall and sink my knife into it's skull
"Check all of em-- every cell!" Rick shouts before I stomp a walkers head in before checking the cells
