The Walking Dead – A Story of Two Corals
The group has some things to say about Rick's name choice for his baby daughter.
A Story of Two Corals
Rick could feel everyone's eyes on him, and he turned with a bemused frown.
"What?"
"You named your kid–" – Carol put a hand on Maggie's arm and shook her head. The younger woman snorted and obliged.
"Lori always liked the movie!" – he defended himself as his people continued staring at him, even his own son, holding the baby protectively.
"I like Judith better" – Carl commented under his breath, rocking his sister from side to side.
"Well, I think Lori would like Coraline"
"So your kids are Carl and Coral?" – Beth chirped with humor.
"Why are sayin' it like tha'?"
"Saying what?" – the blonde blinked innocently.
"I do NOT say Coral!"
"Yeah you do" – Daryl shot back with a sharp nod and a barely there smirk.
"No I don't!"
"Dad, yes you do"
"Et tu?"
"I don't know what that means" – Carl deadpanned – "It's okay, baby sister, we'll fix this, you won't be a Carl too"
"It's Coraline! Not Coral– Carl" – he corrected to his people's snickers.
"Rick, you know we would accept any name you gave your baby–" – Carol started – "But do consider the fact that even without having to grow up with that name on the sandbox, she'll still get confused every time you call out for Carl" – she said it very slowly, making it sounded Carl as opposed to Coral.
"... You guys suck" – Rick huffed, taking his now crying daughter in his arms. He sighed as he kissed her forehead – "Baby Judith Grimes, I guess" – he stated, and the group exploded into excited and teasing giggles – "Coral–" – he stopped when Glenn couldn't quite hold a loud laugh back.
