Pregnant!?! (The Last Of Us Fanfic)

Plans

Ellie POV

"So it's settled...we're leaving in two weeks, exactly 14 days from now," I say to Joel who is sitting across from me eating something that looks like oatmeal, but smells like death.

"Yup," He says through the mouthfuls. I giggle as a little bit falls out of his mouth and onto his beard. He gives me a look that makes me laugh even more. The gloomy room around us glares over, not wanting any kind of sunshine in their life.

"Joel, I'm serious..." I say more hushed. "We need to leave before Clara decides to kill us or something,"

"We're fine for now, especially since you're in bed with the second in command," He says to me. I shoot him a look which he spits out some of his meal.

"Gross! Joel!" I say, laughing. "Ugh! It smells like shit,"

He starts to wipe the table in front of me with his napkin, which just makes it worse as the napkin falls apart. He laughs and pushes his "meal" aside.

"Okay, Ellie. It's been two weeks since phase 3 happened and you haven't said anything to me about it," He starts. "I know phase 2 was only 50% successful but did phase 3 work?"

"I'm not sure, Joel. I haven't spent much time in the lab or around Finn lately. I've been training and I went out with the hunting squad yesterday-"

"With who?" Joel cuts in, a little upset.

"Um...one guy's name was Will. The other two were the twin brothers that worked in the kitchen for a bit," I say, looking around the room to see if they're in there to point out to Joel, but they aren't. The cafeteria is more full today, which is funny to say since Clara has killed off 14 people so far in her testing alone.

"Did they hurt you?" Joel asks.

"No, they didn't. They're actually very nice. One of them came here with Finn and his group when the whole world went to shit," I say. Joel is quiet. "What?" I ask.

"You just seem like you're getting comfortable around strangers, which ain't good. This place-" Joel lowers his voice, "This place is not our home,"

"I know that, Joel. You've heard of keep your friends close and your enemies closer...right?" I say.

"Yes, but-"

"But nothing, Joel. When the time comes, they'll have my back," I say. Joel shakes his head.

"Ellie, you cannot trust anyone. Didn't you learn from David? Marlene? Aaron?" He says.

"I did learn, I don't trust them. I'm saying, for the plan we've made and are making, they have my back," I say.

"You can not say anything to anyone else about us leavin', they will tell Clara and Ron and we will be dead before you even finish telling them," He says.

"I forgot about Ron, I haven't seen him in a while..." I start.

"Ellie, I am serious. Us leaving is between you and me. Finn knows too but- you know what I'm trying to say?" Joel says to me. I nod and stand up, the smell of the cafeteria is making me sick.

"Yeah, I gotchu," I say, shooting finger guns towards him and walking away.

"Ellie?" he says. I turn around for a second, then turn right back around, running towards the bathroom.

I get to the end of the hall and see the sign for women, and push my way in. I only see one other girl in there, washing her hands. I push past into a stall, falling onto my knees. My stomach heaves as my dinner comes out. After emptying my stomach, I rest my head against the side of the stall, breathing. I get a glimpse into the toilet and instantly feel like I need to throw up again, but it comes and goes. I feel weak as I sit on the dirty tile that used to be white.
