THE TRUTH

SUMMARY: Andrea remembers her lover Shane Walsh. She finds a safe place in Woodbury with the Governor. But she can't shake the feeling that Shane is out there looking for her. Is he?

CHAPTER ONE

"You're cute," Shane would tell her over and over. Andrea never forget a word he said. He was always in her heart now.

The fact that she was pregnant with his child didn't hurt either. Made her love him more.

Shane is probably dead. Rick killed him. Over Lori. You are in this alone. Well, Michonne was with her.

That was something, she told herself.

"You should give up on me. I won't last much longer," Andrea murmurs.

"No. We stay in this together," Michonne says determined, helping her walk now.

"You are going to be a great Aunt if this baby survives," Andrea says, softly touching her stomach as they move on.

"You both will," Michonne promises her. She smiles, knowing that Michonne really does care.

"I know the baby is a girl. I feel it. I only wish Shane could be here and Amy," she says, trying to keep up with Michonne.

"You still naming her after that Beatles song? Penny Lane?" Michonne asked as they finally stopped. She knew Andrea would have to take a rest. Traveling in her condition was difficult to say the least.

"Yes. Shane said that is his favorite song. His plan was to name his daughter that and call her Penny. So that is what I am going to do," Andrea says leaning against a tree. For the moment there are no walkers, nearby. The real danger is that Andrea could have this baby at any minute.

"I like the Beatles as much as the next person. But I am not sure about the name Penny. I mean why not nickel or quarter?" Michonne teased, giving Andrea a drink from her water bottle. There wasn't much water left, and once they ran out they wouldn't last much longer. They both knew it.

"Funny," she says, closing her eyes now. Part of her wanted to just let go. Join Shane in the afterlife. Without her sister, Shane, and no way to protect this baby..what did she have to live for?

Suddenly, the girls hear someone walk up to them. Andrea looks up and sees Merle Dixon.

"Hey Blondie, you look good," he says, mockingly.

Merle wasn't alive, was he? Was she dead? She is shocked to see him there, in front of her. Her head is spinning. Then she blacks out.
