A piercing scream echoed through Howe's Hardware Store. A woman, in her early twenties with light brown hair and piercing blue eyes, was sat in the middle of the floor with her legs spread apart and her body covered in sweat. Her hair was stuck to her forehead as she kept screaming.
"Baby, you gotta keep going. You're almost there." A man with chocolate brown hair and deep brown eyes encouraged her, tightly clutching her hand.
"I can't." The woman cried as she tried to catch her breath.
"You can't stop now. It's only one more push." The man said.
"You've got to do it now, Jess." A Hispanic man, positioned at her feet, told her calmly.
The woman, named Jess, pushed with all her might and let out another scream. A cry came from the room as a small baby was wrapped in a child's coat. A laugh came from the Hispanic man.
"What do you want to call her?" The Hispanic man asked Jess as he handed her the baby.
"I think I'll call her Mia." Jess smiled as she looked down at her daughter, who had stopped crying as she was placed in her mother's arms.
"That's a lovely name." Both men said at the same time.
"Thank you." Jess nodded her head.
"I'm off to tell the others about the good news." The Hispanic man rose from the floor and headed for the exit.
"Bye, Carlos." Jess called to the man.
"She looks just like you." Her husband said quietly.
"I know." Jess smiled. "Maybe she'll get your brains, Luke."
"Hopefully." Luke smiled and kissed Jess on the side of her head. "You did so well."
"I hope so. I'm tired as hell." Jess sighed.
"I would think so. You just pushed out a baby." Luke chuckled.
"Well, I'd better get some rest." Jess told him. "Got a baby to take care of now."
"I'll sleep with you." Luke said.
Jess turned on her side, lying Mia down next to her. The infant was already sleeping soundly. Luke wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her exposed shoulder.
"I love you." Jess said quietly.
"I love you too." Luke replied. "Always."
After that last word, they both drifted to sleep.
Whoops, new story! Okay, this is a Luke/OC fanfiction and the first couple chapters are set when they were in Carver's group and the escape then the next couple chapters will be skipping to a couple months later, when Clementine appears. There will also be no Luke/Jane romance whatsoever. I doubt Luke would cheat on his wife with someone he just met. Sorry to disappoint y'all. So, the next chapter should be out super soon and sorry this is so short, but it's just the prologue to help you understand who Jess is and when the baby was born. Thank you for reading and please review! I'd love to know your opinions.
