"So it's positive then?" Michonne asked, moving the laptop off her lap and standing to walk to Carol.
Without speaking Carol nodded and let her head fall onto Michonne's shoulder as she cried. She was 26, she couldn't have a baby with a man that's in Iraq fighting a war. Hell she's just gotten out of a horrible marriage she was in since she was 19. She didn't even know when he was coming home, she didn't know if he would even want to be a father.
"You'll be fine, you got me, and Andrea. And you have Rick and Lori"
"I know... I know..." She whispered.
"You aren't going to do this alone, ok?"
Carol nodded and pulled herself from Michonne's grip.
"Thank you"
Michonne plopped back down on the mattress and went back to something on the computer. "First things first, you need to see a doctor"

"So Carol, if you could just lay back here, and we'll get'cha checked out" the doctor said. Michonne had made an appointment for the following Monday. Since then she'd told Andrea, and Rick, whom she assumed told Lori. Rick and Carol had been best friends since middle school, he wasn't very pleased when she agreed to marry Ed at 19, but her parents told her that it was the right thing, and the responsible thing to do,
you get married, you have kids, and you be a good housewife, learn to cook, and clean, and take care of the children and your husband she could still hear her mother saying to her the days before her wedding.
The man spread her legs and took the wond, slowly putting it inside her.
"Ohw..." She whimpered.
"Ok..." The doctor said, moving the stick around inside her to find what he was looking for. "Yep, you're most defiantly pregnant, congratulations" he pulled out the stick and pulled the gown down.
Carol simply looked at him for a long moment. She didn't know what to do, she was pregnant, a baby was living inside of her.
"You're about 2 months along"
Still she said nothing, not until Michonne waved a hand in front of her face.
"What? C... Can we go?"
"Ok. Sure. You should make another appointment with the receptionist"
She nodded and got off the bed, waiting for him to leave before she began to dress again.

Dear Daryl,
I know that you are very busy, but I just wanted to send you this letter and let you know that I miss you... And that when you come back. I was hoping that we could still be friends, or even a little more than friends, so if you ever do get this, because I'm not sure I mailed it correctly, please write back and tell me a different way to get into contact with you... Because I have something important to tell you... Don't stress about it or whatever, just don't die.
Love, Carol Baker
She sighed as she looked down at the letter in her and, shaking her head as folded the envelope and put the stamps on.
She walked outside to the mailbox and put it in, pulling the red flag up asleep and walked back inside.

Within the next two weeks she got a letter back. She looked at it for a long time. She wasn't sure she could take it if he rejected her.
"You have to open it Carol" Andrea said making her jump in place.
"Jesus Andrea! You scared me!" Carol laughed.
"Well im sorry, but I wanted to come find you and tell you that we're going over to rick and loris for dinner"
Carol nodded and took the letter up to her room. She set the letter down on top of her dresser and opened her dresser.
She pulled out a blue bottom down flowy blouse and a pair of black jeans. The late October weather was getting chilly.
Once she was dressed she sat down at the end of her bed and picked up the envelope and pulled out the letter.
It was folded three times to fit into the small envelope. Slowly she unfolded it and looked at the letter. His hardwiring was messy but neat at the same time, very straight lines yet all slanted and written fast.
Carol,
It's good to hear from you, I was hoping you'd write, I had a dream about you last night, about our night.. And day. And I miss you too, when, and not if, when, I come home we will most defiantly be more than just friends, I'm coming home on December 20th, for Christmas. Maybe you'll meet me at the airport... 3 I don't plan on dying anyone soon, we could FaceTime in about a week after you get this letter, Halloween would be a good day.
Love always, Daryl
(1-528-287-3866)
FaceTime... She sighed, she thought maybe they could talk on the phone, but he wanted to FaceTime, she would have to see him, see his reaction. I guess that's better, she thought to herself, at least I'll know if he really doesn't want to be involved. She sucked in a deep breath and pulled on her high black boots and walking out the door to the waiting car, as driving to rick and loris.

"So we have some news." Lori smiled looking at all there friends. It was filled around the large circle table, Rick, then Lori, then Andrea and Michonne, Carol on the other side of Rick, Maggie and Glenn next connecting to Michonne.
"We're getting married!" She beamed.
The room was filled with 'congrats' and 'awesome' and 'wonderful'.
Carol just smiled and hugged Rick, Rick had been her best friend since middle school, and she loved him dearly and she thought that Lori was good for him, but at the moment she felt sick, and in the literal sense of the term. So once she got out of the embrace she ran for the bathroom door and threw up into the toilet.
She heard the whispers of Lori talking about her from behind,
"Does she not want us to get married...?" She heard Lori half sob. She shook her head furiously trying to convey to Lori that, that wasn't the issue.
"No honey, she's pregnant"
"You are!? With who!?" She squealed and Carol threw up again, she could feel Michonne behind her holding her hair and rubbing her back.
"Daryl Dixon" Andrea answered for her when she came back with a glass of water.
Carol sat back against the bathtub and put her hand over her mouth.
"I think I need to go home..." She said softy and moved to stand up, but her knees were wobbly and gave out from beneath her. The world swam around her and she saw black dots before it turned dark, the last thing she felt was ricks strong arms picking her up.
"You just hang on lady bug." He whispered to her, calling her the childhood nickname that she had thought was forgotten.
So dont worry to much about carol, if you've read Starting Over, then you know that i just love having bad things happen to her. i have a sick mind, anyways, REVIEW!
