Gracie's POV

Everyone drops their bags as we stop for the night

"Can we talk for a sec?" I ask Carl who nods his head in response before we distance ourself from the group but we're still in their line of sight

"I missed you." Carl says before pecking my lips

"I missed you too." I say with a small smile

"What'd you wanna talk about?" He asks

"Carl...I'm— I'm pregnant." I say softly before he engulfs me in a hug

"We'll figure it out. Together." He says as he releases me before pecking my forehead

"Start back at sun-up." Rick announces to the group as Carl and I rejoin everyone

-The Next Day-

I hold my rifle close to my chest as we walk down the asphalt road

"I got it." Michonne says as a walker stumbles out of the woods she reaches for her sword but soon realizes it's not there before she smacks the walker with her rifle as we continue walking

-Later That Night-

Everyone except Daryl, Carol, and myself is asleep. Daryl and Carol are keeping watch and me I just can't sleep. Haven't been able to for awhile. Every time I close my eyes I see my dad, Shawn, and my mom and it's not a pretty picture

-The Next Morning-

All of us except Daryl walk through the woods before we hear twigs snap and we all point our weapons in that direction but it's just Daryl holding some squirrels

"We surrender." Daryl says before he joins the group and we continue walking

Rick turns around to all of us as Daryl keeps walking

He whistles at all of us and waves his fingers at us to keep up

"Keep close." He says as we all tighten up the formation and continue on our journey

"Help!" We all hear a man yell causing us all to stop in our tracks

"Help, anybody, help!" The man continues to yell

"Dad, come on." Carl says as the man screams in the distance

"Come on!" Carl says

"Come on." He repeats

"Anyone, help!" The man yells before we all take off running in the direction of the yelling

"Help! Help! Help! Anybody help!" He continues to yell

*2 Minutes Later*

"Help!" The man yells before Carl shoots a walker in the head and I peer down the scope of my rifle before shooting another in the head

Rick, Michonne, Daryl, And Carol take out the rest

"We're clear. Keep watch." Rick says as I look at a dark skinned man in his mid 30s and he's wearing a preachers outfit

"Come on down." Rick says before the man cautiously hops off of the rock

"You okay?" Rick asks him before he holds a finger up signaling to give him a minute

Puke spews from the mans mouth

I turn my back from the group as puke spews from my own mouth and a hand caresses my back

I wipe my mouth as I turn around and I'm faced with Maggie

She holds the canteen out to me and I happily accept before taking a small sip from it
