[R/D]chapter one: los muertos

October 2021 Author here, I've been rewriting this book! Any chapter with [R/D] in the chapter title means I've re-done it, im mostly just changing the readers pronouns from she/her to they/them, but there's also some scene rewrites.

December 1st Author, redid it again, got bored, got sad, now im looking over the entire book again.

Mother POV~~~~~~~~~~~

I dont know what I was thinking, having a baby in this kind of world? Me and my husband have survived this place...why did we think we could survive with another?

"It'll be alright, at least we got somewhere before...you know...it'll be fine..!"
He tries to assure me, checking the lock for what must be the hundredth time before walking back to where I've sat since i started contracting...it must've been a day ago, my legs feel so numb.

That lock isn't going to hold if those animalistic-looking ones show up, they have claws...they can just tear the door off the hinges.

"Clair, is it...is it okay..?"
My Husband asks, i look down at the frail little baby in my arms...its screaming so loudly, it sounds like its in as much pain as me.

"Yeah...i think so."
I mumble, he grabs the baby from my hands and looks down to between my legs, i know he sees the blood, there's too much to not notice.

"Oh God...can you stand?"
He asks, i shrug and grab the dresser beside me, hoisting myself up, i immediately feel my legs try to buckle me back down, so i turn to the dresser and use both my hands to keep myself from falling.

"Jesus christ, You're still bleeding, its like its pouring out...!"
He says.

"Don't tell me that, why would you tell me that??"
I ask, glaring at him.

"Im sorry, I'm just stressed, i wasn't thinking i...fuck, how did so many find us?"
He mumbles.

"They probably smelled the blood, and they're probably still smelling it."
I say.

"Clair...this house isnt going to keep them out much longer..."
Jeffery says, I sigh, nodding..its common knowledge really, they want in, and there's enough to tear the house down.

"We wanted this baby so badly, after all the close calls and long nights, we cant just...we can't let it die here...!"
I yell, jeffery starts coughing violently, when he stops, he looks at me with that little smile and sad eyes.

"You're....you're right, you can't give up, I have an idea, but you need to trust me."
Jeffery says.

"Of course, what is it?"
I ask.

"Go to the edge of the house, look for the nearest window, and wait there, in going to make enough sound to draw them all away from the windows, then you need to jump out with our baby and run. Just run."
Jeffery says.

"But then you'll be in here, you'll be alone, how will you get out? I cant raise this thing without you...!"
I say, Jeffery rolls up his sleeve, looking at me with a pitiful look. theres a giant chunk of his wrist missing...and the wound looks sickly, puss covered and purple..

"I'm bit, we've been in enough groups to know what happens after somebody gets bitten...clair, please, take this baby, take it and run, look for people to help you....i love you both, and i can't have us all die here."
Jeffery says, I cry out in frustration and hit him in the chest, the baby seems to be even more startled.

"You bastard! You fucking asshole!! We wanted this baby, we wanted a family, now you're gonna die?! How long have you been infected...?!"
I scream.

"..."
He doesn't answer, only handing me the baby and backing away.

I finally do as he says, walking towards a room with a large window, loud banging noises come from the room where Jeffery is, and I run out the window, ignoring the screams and pained cries coming from inside the house...oh God, i should have never gave in...
