Chapter 2: We need you
"Morning, sleepy head" Glenn said as soon as I opened my eyes. Our bodies where perfectly fitted comfortably together on the bed. I smiled and gave him a kiss on the lips still not quite awake.
"I must have been in a deep sleep" I said standing up.
Suddenly I stumbled and lost balance. Glenn quickly got up and caught me before I fell. I felt so heavy and dizzy. I then realised that it was really happening. A baby was really growing inside me. I just knew as a mother.
"Are you okay?" Glenn said still holding me.
"Yeah" I said pushing him off a little.
He let go completely and we all met for a small breakfast in the main room of the cell block. I found it hard to walk like I was bloated from a big unhealthy feast the day before. All the seats where taken so Glenn, Rick and I where stood up eating. I looked down at my stomach and defiantly noticed I was bigger then last night. It was less then five minutes and my back started to hurt and my feet felt weak.
"Here, Maggie you sit here" Carol said as soon as she seen me place my hand on my back. I took the offer quickly and thanked her.
"We need more supplies. Does anyone know where Daryl went for them?" Rick asked
"Yeah. There is a small town a couple of miles away from here" I replied. I sometimes went with Daryl on the supply run because there is a small super market that has baby formula for baby Judith.
"Okay. You, Glenn and I can go together after we eaten" Rick said to me.
"No" Carol yelled taking a step forward. She looked at me and I shook my head.
I could feel my temper getting ready for if she tells the whole group I'm having a baby. I wanted to tell Glenn alone when I feel the time is right. I didn't want Carol just to tell the father of my child I'm pregnant, I wanted to first find the stupid pills today at the supply run.
"I mean I think it will be better for Maggie to stay here"
"We need her, she knows where the supply is" Rick looked confused.
"I will be fine" I admitted. I quickly walked out and started to load the car. I got use to my weight after a while which was a good thing If I ever needed to run. Rick and Glenn came out not long after me.
"Hey, Maggie, are you okay?" Glenn asked curling his hands around my body.
"I'm sorry about this morning"
"It's okay. Just isn't like you to be clumsy"
I chuckled and leaned for a kiss; I raised my hands and cupped his face. I felt the small baby bump between us. Glenn broke away and looked down like he felt something was different to when we normally hug.
"What?" I asked
"Nothing" He leaned in again. This time it was more passionate.
"Common you two. You have got plenty of time for that when we get back" Rick chuckled and got in the car.
We all got out the car and ran up the street to start at the top of the shops to make our way down. We came across a few walkers that I didn't even get my hands on because Glenn and Rick had a surprisingly quicker reaction then me. We also came over a lot of untouched supplies but I never found my pills only a pregnancy test which I clearly did't need. We where half way down the street before we spotted some familiar people in the distance. We held up our guns not taking any chances.
"Daryl?" Rick shouted.
Thank god it was Daryl and Merle. They walked up to us but still kept a distance.
"Merle" Glenn said in disgust. I quickly held Glenn's hand and half smiled.
I remember the last time Glenn seen Merle he went in a fit. Then a thought ran through my head that made me shiver. I was pregnant then. I was pregnant when the Governor attacked me and when we had the battle with Woodbury. I've been carrying this baby longer then I thought.
"Daryl come back, we are weak without you" Rick begged.
"Only if Merle can come"
I felt Glenn stiffen at the thought.
"No" Rick said firmly.
"Well then Daryl isn't coming back" Merle laughed, and stepped forward a bit to close.
Glenn carefully but quickly pulled me behind him. I remember once Glenn told me that he wouldn't care if Merle beat him up again but he would hate Merle to come anywhere near me never mind beat me up.
"Whoa" Rick said stepping back.
"Come back. Carol was in tears when we got back" Rick continued.
Daryl face hardened and his eyebrows lowered.
"Common Merle" Daryl said and they started to walk off.
"Wait" I yelled getting in front of Glenn.
"What you doing?" Glenn firmly held onto my arm that stopped me from moving.
"Both of you stay here. I'll sort it out"
Glenn let go of my hand and walked a bit closer, raising his gun ready just in case Merle did attack me. I walked up to them both and looked behind. Good, Glenn and Rick couldn't possibly hear.
"Merle, you should check out that house. I think I just seen someone move in there" I said looking over his shoulder.
"I think it will be okay" Merle made my body shiver at the sound his voice. I looked over to Daryl and gave him the face that showed I wanted to speak to him alone.
"Go on, Merle. I will wait here" Daryl said. Merle sighed and went.
"What do you want?"
"We, I need you"
"I don't want to listen to this" Daryl Sighed and started to turn away.
"I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant with Glenn's child"
Daryl slowly turned around. His face looked shocked but at the same time worried. Daryl was always known for doing anything for the ones he was close to. Unfortunately his brother is at the front of his line with the rest of us behind.
"Glenn or the others don't know but Carol does. I don't know what to do. I need you. Carol needs you. Judith needs you. Please Daryl?"
Do you think Daryl will come back to help Maggie and the unborn baby?
Please Review what you think while I write and post the next chapter up. Many thanks
