Before [D.D]

13

I had the babies, about 9 months ago.

Never again! That hurt so bad, afterwards.

I had to buy baby gates earlier than expected because little Bash started at crawl. Raine is still on her hands and knees but she jerks back and forth.

The babies adore Heather, shes the god mom of my babies. Daryl picked his cousin to be the god father. In a week we are getting them bathtised, because knowing my kids, they will need Jesus to protect them from my family.

Oh yeah, Daryl birthday is coming up, its tomorrow. He told me not to do anything, because he doesn't care for it.

To bad, I already have stuff planned.
1: I'm getting the cake.
2: I'm sending him to see Merle.
3: I'm getting beer.
4: I'm setting up.

Yeah, its gonna be small but its still something.

"Raine." I smiled, picking her up. She made gurgling noises.

"Shes so tiny" Daryl mumbled from behind me.

"I know." I kissed her face.

"Where's Bash?" He hugged my back.

"Heather giving him bath." I shrugged.

"Oh okay." He let go, laying in bed. It's like 12 at night. I'm beat! I put the Raine in her crib and laid down.

"Goodnight birthday boy." I kissed Daryl before falling asleep.

~~~

"Hey babe. It's time to wake up." Someone mumbled in my ear. I shot up, bumping head with heather,"What the h-" she covered my mouth,"shhh." She pointed to Daryl.

I slowly got out of bed, getting changed, in Heather's her room.

"I got the cake. Oh and the party decorations." Heather pulled off her book bag.

"Really?" I looked at the clock,"It's only 9 am!" I quietly yelled.

"He told me he wanted to go hunting for a bit, but don't wanna leave you with the kids."

"He don't need to! It's his birthday!" I exclaimed, rushing back into our room, seeing Daryl wasn't there. I mentally sighed, not wanting to wake up the babies.

I walked out to look for him, he was no where in the house! Okay maybe he's here, hopefully he didn't go hunting and not tell me. I mean he could I would like an advanced notice that he is so I wouldn't worry.

Daryl hunts take days, on days. Great! I looked around, seeing his car and Merle motorcycle keys were here. I walked outside, to see him laying in the bed of his truck.

"Sun bathing now?" I joked.

"Dam* straight" He laughed.

"You know, you can go hunting."

"Didn't need to ask for mothers permission." He shook his head.

"If that what you wanna do for your birthday, go for it." I smiled.

"I was think I'd leave later, but the sooner I leave I the sooner I come back." he sat up and opened his arms,"Come here."

I walked into his arms, hugging him on my tip toes. We did a peck and leaned our heads together.

"I'll leave in 5." He pulled me into a bear hug.

"I cant breath." I muttered threw the breaths.

"Let me pack. Move nasty." He joked, pushing me out of the way, jumping down.

I smacked his butt and hooted causing him to laugh. Geez!

~~

"I'm off. See ya in a few days"

"Few days?" I pouted.

"You said I could go."He snapped.

"Geez . I was joking." I mumbled.

"Yeah yeah." He pushed past me into his car.

"Love you." I yelled, and he signaled me off.

*3 Days later*

"GET UP NOW!!!!!!! GET UP!!!!!!!! GET UP! GET UP!" Heather boomed.

"What? What time is it?" I groaned.

"GET UP NOW!" She yelled, that caused my babies to cry.

"What's wrong?" I snapped.

"Come out here!" She pulled me along, to the living room.

I couldn't believe my eyes, there across the TV was bright and bold.

\PLEASE STAY INSIDE! A VIRUS HAS BROKEN OUT. DON'T GET SCRATCHED AND OR BITTEN. LET THEM GET TO CLOSE AND THEY WILL KILL YOU. BE SAFE.\

And it repeated, and repeated.
"Daryl!" I screeched.

"Screw Daryl we have to leave! Now. Screw what they said, I've seen zombie movies before, forget this! Grab alot of book bags, an pack ALOT of food, pads,toilet paper, baby stuff and...and blankets! BLANKET!" she dashed put of the house.

I ran into my room, packing clothes, picture, baby diapers, and baby food.

In another bag I had just food, in another I had blankets. I got dog food, and weapons from Daryl stuff and or Jacobs things. I ran to the bathroom, throwing all the pills and stuff I had into it, there was all sorts plus toilet paper, towels, and pads. In all I had 6 bags already. I ran to Heather's room, packing her things, and grabbing baby clothes. Oh I almost forgot! Blushes and tooth paste! I collected them and ran out. I called Blake and pulled the babies out, putting them in the living room. I folded up their beds, and pulled out their car seats.

BEEP! BEEP!

I looked out the window and seen heather pull up with a Van, she hopped out and ran to the door. I unlocked it and she buckled the car seats in, putting the babies in. thank god they are gonna be safe.

Blake picked up two bags with his mouth and carried them to the car, staying to guard the babies, I love Blake so much. Heather and I packed the car, the trunk was actually bigger than I thought, we still used some of the back seat. Heather pulled down some black curtains and covered all the windows but the front one, and she said when we sleep we cover it. I layed a blanket down for Blake. Heather got the type of van, that has the two front seats, and two separated seats in the middle, and the whole back seat.

Then it hit me, as we drove away from the house,"Where the hell did you get this car?"

"Now you see, I kinda shot someone..." she mumbled.

"Kinda?!" I yelled.

"You're my family. I needed y'all safe first. Sorry... did Y'all get weapons?" she snapped.

I pulled my book bag off and showed her the inside, 3 hunting knifes, 2 guns, rifle, ammo,tape,and markers.

"Wait, where did you get that gun?" I asked heather, pointing to the one on her lap.

"Okay I went to Colins, and took his own gun, shot him with it and took his keys." she laughed. I looked back at my babies, who were sleeping thankfully.

I didn't have Daryl....I didn't have my brother.....The two strongest people I know aren't here.

"I want Jake and Daryl" I hugged my knees.

"Ain't no one gonna be able to protect you. You protecting the kids, me protecting the kids, Blake protecting all of us. This is no kid game Vi. We need to do this. For Jake." she mumbled.

"For Jake" I smiled.

I'm gonna find Daryl again, I'm so sorry I left. This is for you Jake, I'm gonna survive this!
