CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT, reunited.
Baby Elliot was asleep, he seemed to enjoy his sleep Aiden noticed. She currently laid on the floor doing crunches. Harlan told her she could start to work out when she felt up to it and she felt up to it.
She knew her body would never be the same but she wanted to lose this baby fat desperately.
She heard her son start to cry and she sighed. She stood up and walked over to his cradle, "hi, my love." She picked him up. "Are you hungry, little man?"
After feeding him she changed his diaper. "I love you so much, little man." She sat on the bed and his blue eyes stared at her. "You're gonna look just like your daddy."
"Hey." Aiden heard. She looked up and saw Sasha.
"Hey, Sash." She greeted.
"Can I hold him?" She asked.
"Go for it." Aiden handed her son to Sasha. She sat down on the couch. "He already looks Daryl."
Sasha laughed softly, "he does. You know Jesus left right after you had him?"
"Yeah. I know." Aiden said to her. She played with her fingers, "I want to take him out, more than anything in this world. But if you go after him, you're gonna have to be extremely careful."
Sasha looked at her and saw the tears in her eyes, "I will be."
"No, no. Listen to me. You saw how many people were there that night. Imagine how many people he has at his place. He could have hundreds of people, Sash. I'm going with you."
"What? No you're not." Sasha said to her.
"I am." Aiden argued.
"You're not! You have Elliot now. You have Daryl and Payton. Nathaniel, Xavier and Carl. Maggie and Carol. You can't go with me." Sasha said to her, "I don't know what'll happen to me if I do go. That's why you're not going with me. Because I can't let you die."
Sasha's lips quivered and Aiden stared at her. "Why?"
"Because I've lost too many people and I can't lose you or anyone else." Sasha replied.

Aiden heard a motorcycle and she shot up off of the couch and laid Elliot in his crib and ran outside.
