Carley leant her head back against the stingy wall of the motor inn's bathroom. No, it can't be. We were so careful, dammit! You can't bring up a baby in a zombie apocalypse! I have to tell Lee...
"Carley? You okay in there?" Lee asked, banging on the door. Carley stood up and pocketed the pregnancy test.
"Yeah, hold on!" Carley flushed the toilet and washed her hands, rushing out of the room.
"Whoa, why so fast?" Lee said, catching her and holding her still. Looking into his eyes, she reached into her back pocket and pulled out the pregnancy test. "What is-"
"Yeah..." Carley moved away as Lee dropped his arms down from her shoulders, taking the test.
"You're... Oh god..."
"I told you this secret relationship crap wouldn't work out." Carley shook her head, looking down at the floor.
"Carley, darling, it will. Just not as secret any more. We'll have to tell Clem, and we'll have to tell Lilly." Lee held her chin up with his hand. Carley nodded and leaned in for a kiss.
"Tell me what?" A voice from the doorway spoke, and the two broke apart quicker than anything. Lilly was stood in the doorway, along with Clem, who was hidden behind her leg.
"Uhh, Lilly..." Carley could feel the sweat running down her face.
"Tell, me, what?" Lilly asked again, moving into the room. Lee looked at Carley and Carley looked at Lee. "Hey, this secret sharing bullshit has to end." Lee nodded to Carley and passed the test to Lilly, who frowned, and when she looked at it, her eyebrows raised.
"Are you two crazy?!" Lilly asked, sudden alarm in her voice. Carley and Lee took a step back, and Lilly dropped the test to the floor. Unseen to the adults eyes, Clem snuck in and picked it up. "You can't be! Jesus fuck guys, this is the apocalypse!"
"What is this?" The little voice asked from behind Lilly. Lee and Carley looked around Lilly, who turned around, to see Clem holding the test. She ran towards Lee who picked her up and put her on the bed.
"Well, sweet pea, it means that Carley and I are having our own little boy or girl." Lee explained, while Carley gulped and Lilly raged inside her head.
"Like, a little brother or sister for me?" Clem asked, her innocent eyes lighting up. Lee looked back to Carley for a second, then back to Clem.
"Yeah, I guess. Is that okay?" Lee asked.
"Yeah! This will be great!" Clem was so happy the smile on her face made Lee and Carley smile.
"I hope you two know what the fuck you're doing." Lilly said and left, slamming the door.
"She said a lot of swears."
