A/N: I got inspired by this story when I went to the doctors and was surrounded by sick little children that sounded like zombies. Not to mention I love watching Dawn of the Dead. I hope you guys will find this story interesting because I sure do. (And it's not just because I wrote it.) ENJOY! :D

Carlos POV

I moved to California because my girlfriend at the time, Stephanie, was pregnant and said she wanted somewhere warmer than Minnesota. After graduation we made our way out here to settle in a small apartment. A couple of months later I had a steady job and she was reaching the last few weeks of her pregnancy.

For a while she thought I was cheating on her with my co-worker, Josh, but all I was doing was working more hours so that we could have enough money for the baby. She had always had suspitions about me ever since we met. She knew I was bisexual so that just made everything worse.

We weren't that much in love but both of us were going to be like this because of the baby. We were more like best friends who happened to make one mistake. But we fought through it and were living together. We were going to make it work, for the baby. There was one thing that we both never had a problem with, music.

We were a couple of music freaks. We loved almost every genre out there. My favorite was pop and hers was more rap but we always enjoyed each others favorites. If you would catch us at any time during the day then you would see us either listening to music or humming to it. She loved the fact that I could sing but we both knew it would be risky if I went for a singing career. We needed something that would have a steady income.

With the help of my dad, I got a job at the local police station. There, I made a friend named Dak. He's the one who helped me with almost everything. He helped me with training and whenever we went out to patrol the town he was by my side. He even helped me with the whole cheating situation with Stephanie. He even promised her that he would keep an eye on me for anything.

When the day came for her to give birth it was crazy. She called me when I was at work and I rushed over in a police car to get her, Dak at my side. We both helped her into the car even though she refused to get in. Dak drove to the hospital with the siren on as I held Stephanie's hand. When we got to the hospital and Stephanie went into labor, I was a nervous wreck but Dak calmed me down.

Unfortunately, Stephanie died while giving birth but the doctors managed to save my little girl. I named her Hannah because that was the name me and Stephanie came up with. She was a special baby that the doctors were astounded by. She had a gift but the doctors thought something was wrong with her. They kept her for a while but couldn't find anything wrong with her.

Almost every two weeks they would ask me to bring her in so they could see if anything that could be wrong. They couldn't seem to find anything wrong. The gift she had was that her eyes were a beautiful shade of purple with silver specks in them.

I was a wreck for a while after that trying to figure out how I was going to take care and raise a baby on my own. Dak would come by and help out if he could and I had to ask the neighbor, Ms. Josephine, if she could watch Hannah while I went to work almost everyday. She said she owed me because I saved her cat a long time ago.

After about two months I finally got myself together. It wasn't until then that everything started to happen. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember looking outside and seeing those things running around. They weren't people, not anymore. I had been watching Tv on my day off when I heard the emergency broadcast.

There was a plane that crashed off the coast of San Diego. There had been reports of radioactive stuff but the government said they had it under control. I had read in history of their being usage of radioactive stuff and it said nothing about the victims turning into those things.

Of course it was in horror stories but I didn't think that this would actually come to life. A few days after the government made that statement there was video footage on YouTube of weird things happening to people. One video caught on tape what it exactly was, a zombie. The news and everyone tried to say it was just a fake video.

They waited until it was too late to finally declare that everything was true. They waited until those things were running wild in the street. I had to grab all of my essentials and a couple of expensive things before I left.

I had filled Hannah's diaper bag with diapers, wipes, and baby food. I also had a bag that had food for me, my iPod, my cell phone, and my pistol. I needed something to protect me and Hannah just in case someone decided to break in. I wasn't taking any chance then and I'm definately not taking any of them now.

I remember when I went to go check and see if anyone else was still alive. It seemed like everyone in the building was gone.

I checked on Ms. Josephine to find that she was already dead, she killed herself and her Tv was on the news.

It had been two months ago when the government sent out troops to contain the situation. That failed horribly and left the people to fight for themselves. I managed to find me and Hannah a little place that was abandoned but was hidden enough for us to stay for a few days. I had to calm her down by singing softly to her.

Other days, when I couldn't sing to her or had the feeling someone or something was coming and she wouldn't be quiet, I would put my iPod on a low volume and put the headphones, not ear buds, on her. That would get her to stop instantly and she would be quiet as a mouse. We had water, heat, and electricity. It's a safe place for us to stay. For now.

A/N: Just some background info before the real action starts. I got some of my friends to help with the eye color for Hannah. I became obsessed with this story just for the simple fact that surviving the zombie world is hard enough by yourself. Imagine trying to do it with a baby you have to care for. REVIEW PLEASE! :D
