"Want me to go?" Carl asks me.
-
"No, I just need to clear my head." I say to him. He nods. I slip my shoes on. "I love you Carl." I say to him.
-
"I love you too." He says. "Don't go to far away. Just yell if you need us." He says. He gets up and hands me my knife. I take it. "Please, Taylor. This isn't for your skin." He tells me.
-
"Carl, I know. I promise I won't anymore. I know I said that last time but, I mean it this time Carl. I promise." I tell him.
-
"Okay." He whispers. He leans in and kisses me. He kisses my belly. I walk out.
-
"Are ya' feeling better?" I hear Daryl asks me.
-
I nod. "Yeah, actually a lot better." I reply.
-
"Good." He says and smiles. "Hey. I forgot to tell you. I figured out a nickname." He says and smiles still.
-
My face lights up. "Ooo, what is it?" I ask him, putting a hand on my back.
-
"I'm not saying yet." He tells me, and laughs a little bit.
-
I frown. "Why?" I whine. "I wanna know." I say, laughing.
-
He shakes his head. "Nope." He tells me.
-
I sigh. "Whatever." I say, laughing. "I'm going to go outside, to take a walk." I tell him.
-
He nods. "Alright, be careful." He tells me. I nod and grab my gun. I walk out of the prison.
-
I walk outside. I take a deep breath, and smile. 'It's so beautiful.' I think. I walk to the side of the prison. I lean against the wall. 'What if I die?' I think. 'I don't want to die giving birth. I want to be there for him or her, for Carl, the group.' I say. I slide down the wall. I start crying, uncontrollably. I hear footsteps, I lift my head up, to see Daryl, slowly approaching. I wipe my eyes quickly.
-
"Why are you crying?" Daryl asks, sitting next to me.
-
"I wasn't crying." I tell him.
-
"Taylor, I saw you crying, I heard you crying and I can tell. I can tell your trying not to cry right now too." He tells me. "So, why are you crying?" He asks.
-
I burst into tears again. "I'm afraid that Ill die giving birth." I say.
-
"But you won't." He tells me. "When to You think like that, it makes it harder to move on, and to fight; survive. Just don't think like that." He tells me.
-
I nod. "Okay." I say. He kisses my head and leaves. I sit there. I get up ten minutes later. I look around. I see a figure walking through the woods, towards the prison. I start walking very slowly to the front gates.
