End of the Road/ A Walking Dead Fanfic

uno

My name is Evelyn. Evelyn Walsh. I've been married for 5 years to my husband Jimmy. We have two kids. Twins actually.  Timmothy and Gracie. They're four years old and look just like their father.

Speaking of their father, Jimmy had been over seas for a few months now. He was in the army and we missed him everyday. I had to manage work and being a full time mom which was not easy.

I worked as a pediatric nurse at the Harrison Memorial Hospital here in Georgia. I managed to get day time hours so i can work while the kids are at school, and then be home for dinner.

I was home with the kids when everything went down.

I had just fixed the kids plates when I heard the ringing of the ipad. The kids raced to answer it.

"Daddy!" They yelled in unison. I smiled at that.

"Hey munchkins. How was school?" He asked them.

"I picked up worms." Timmy said excitedly.

"And I planted a flower daddy." Gracie smiled.

"Wow that's amazing you two." He talked to them for a few more minutes. I brought their food to the table so they could eat. I grabbed the ipad and went back to the kitchen.

"How's the beautiful mother of my children doing?" He asked with a smile.

"She's good but she misses daddy too." He chuckled and looked around in his tent.

"Don't start Evie." He grinned. I chuckled.

"But it's okay when you start while I'm at work?" I asked amused. He smirked.

"That's different. I like seeing you worked up." He winked. I playfully rolled my eyes

"How are things over there?" He shrugged.

"Same old. A lot of guys getting sick from something. They quarantined em."

"Jeez I hope they're okay." I frowned.

"Yeah me too." Suddenly there was yelling and gunshots that could be heard in the back ground.

"Babe?" The signal started breaking up before the screen went black. I furrowed my eyebrows and tried to get the video back, but nothing worked.

I was worried when I hadn't heard from him the rest of that week. I tried constantly to contact to his base but still nothing.

Going on week two, I had run out of excuses for the kids. I tried my best to keep them occupied. I was cooking dinner when everything started.

I heard the emergency broadcast system blarring through the tv. I walked over to take a look.

"A desease out break has people terrified. Others are becoming infected by the minute. We just got news that the infected are tearing people apart." My eyes widen and my hands began to shake. I changed the channel.

"Get to saftey!" The reporter yelled. I quickly rushed to the kids room and packed a bag of clothes. I packed some of mine and Jimmy's just in case. I took our emergency cash from under the mattress. I then went into the closet and took down the small safe.

I put the code in and grabbed the gun and the full clip. I put it my waist band for quick access just in case I needed it. I wrote a note for Jimmy then walked out to my babies who were scared and confused.

"Come on babies we gotta go."

"Where are we going?" Timmy asked.

"We're going to go see uncle Shane okay? Let's go." I grabbed my keys and my phone. I picked up all the bags and grabbed their hands. We walked out our door seeing everyone panicking and running around. I pulled my kids closer and rushed to the car. I put them in the back seats.

"Keep your heads down okay babies. Just keep them down." They nodded and did as i said. I closed the door and opened the trunk to put the bags inside. Then i rushed to the drivers seat and started the car.

Everyone around us were panicking and packing up their cars. I pulled my phone and tried to call Jimmy once again. I cursed when i couldn't reach him.

"Mommy I'm scared." Gracie cried.

"It's okay baby. Im right here. We're okay." I reasured her. I tried and dialed Shane. He answered almost immediately.

"Evelyn? Where are you?! Are the kids-"

"We're okay im driving. Where are you?"

"Im at Rick and Lori's house, get over here as fast as you can." He said before the phone cut off. I cursed and drove faster. I pulled up to the Grimes home to see Shane helping Lori pack up the car. I got out and jogged over.

"Shane!" He turned around and jogged over to me.

"Thank God. Jimmy would kill me if i didn't get you three out of here. They alright?" He asked motioning to the kids.

"They're scared shitless." He nodded and went to talk to them. I walked over to Lori.

"Where's Rick?" She shook her head tearing up.

"He-I-" i sighed understanding and hugged her.

"We're gonna be okay. Shane is gonna make sure of that okay?" She nodded and headed back in the house. Carl walked up to me.

"Hey kid. You remember the twins right?" He nodded.

"How about you go talk to them. Make them feel better." He nodded and ran over to the car. Shane came back over.

"Have you heard from him?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I haven't been able to reach him. Shane what if...what if he's-"

"He's not dead Evie. You know Jimmy is a tough son of a bitch. He would not leave you and the twins. Okay? But right now we gotta get out of here okay? Get in your car and follow us." He told me. I nodded softly. Lori walked back out the house with some more stuff.

"Where's Carl?"

"He's in the car with the twins." She nodded. Shane motioned for me to go.

"We have to get Charlie." I told him.

"Charlie, your brother?" I nodded. He nodded.

"Alright lets go. We'll follow you." I nodded and got in the car. The drive to Charlie's house wasn't far from where we were. Lori waited in the car with the kids while Shane and I went up to the door. I knocked loudly.

"Charlie?! Its me open up!" It was a long silence before the locks clicked and Charlie opened the door holding his double barrel shotgun.

"I was just on my way to get you. Are you okay? The twins?" He asked walking out and embracing me.

"We're fine, but we have to go."
