A few hours later, at the river with Maggie

"Can I ask how it happened?" Maggie questioned, combing Beth's damp hair.

"Uh, yeah. It was a that night, that that man died, Dale? Yeah, Dale. It was in the barn." Beth sighed. "I don't know why... I did it. I was depressed, I guess? I don't regret, doing... It. And I don't regret the outcome, entirely. I wish, that we were in a safer place, where I know I can have... the baby. But that's nine months from now, right ?" Beth shrugged.

"Yeah, nine months. It's hard to tell where we'll be by then. But I know where I'll be in nine months. " Maggie replied to Beth's long answer, pulling out a pair of scissors.

"Where?" Beth asked eagerly.

"Right by your side. " Maggie grinned.

Two days later

"Alright, Bethy. Everything looks in shape." Hershel said, patting Beth's belly. "Of course you'll need to start taking prenatal vitamins, and drinking almost twice amount of water. Try to eat the cans of food with less sodium. Also," continues Hershel, as he stands "Try to stay out of the sun, and limit any excess movement. We want you to gain weight, not lose it. " He smiles at his young daughter, as she also stands from the picnic table.

"Alright that sounds easy enough. Do you have any idea when the baby will be due?" Beth questions.

"You said it was the night Dale passed?"- Beth nods- "So then I'd say somewhere between June 20th- 27th. You're just past 5 weeks. That's a month and a half after Lori. That makes today, just about October 17th. Try to keep track of the days, so we'll know what trimesters you are in. Well, I'm gonna go check on Lori. " Hershel smiles down at his daughter, and walks away.

Beth walks back in the gas station to write in her new journal. She might as well make this a daily thing, so she can remember the days.

That Evening (Beth's POV )

When Rick got back, he told us all that tomorrow, we would start to pack up as much as we can and head up to the farm. He also thanked me for the information.

It was odd, knowing I'd go back to the home of my old best friend. The place where I spent many nights, and many summers.

I wish I knew if she were alive.

She would've been elated if she found out I was pregnant. She loved babies more than puppies and kittens put together! Or maybe not now. Back when there wasn't dead cannibals roaming the Earth, a pregnant teen wasn't the worst thing. Now, It's probably a death sentence, we don't know.

I hope she was somewhere safe, with all her three brothers and sister, and of course her two loving parents.

Daddy told Rick that I was pregnant today, so I'm sure everyone knows now. Twitter doesn't have shit on The Apocalypse. Of course everyone would find out eventually, but I just feel so awkward and dirty. I was thankful (Very much so) that daddy wasn't judging me.

I guess sex before marriage isn't anything, anymore.

"Hi, Beth you mind if I sit with you?" I look up to see Carol smiling down at me. Right now I was writing in my journal, a new song that had come to mind.

"Sure, Carol" I reply, as she already is sitting "Did you want to talk about something?"

"Yes, your father told me something..." I could feel my heart pounding in my head, as I look down. "Now don't get all scared," She contiues, "I just wanted to talk to you about it." She grabs my hand and pats it. I appreciate her kindness.

"Now, I had my daughter when I was just a few years older than you. I was about 22, but I was married. Well, what I'm trying to get at, is I will be here if you have a question, or just need to talk about it. I know you lost your, mom and Patricia, but I will be here for you." I finally look up at her and she smiles at me.

"Thank you," I quietly whisper.

"I was just about to finish dinner, would you like to help?" She stands, looking down on me, waiting on my answer.

"Of course." I smile, and close my journal.

The next afternoon, at the farm

We left at basically first light the next day. Arriving at the farm was quite weird. It looked the exact same; serene, quiet. It was just how I remembered it.

Shelby's family didn't have any farm animals, but the did have a great garden; which was flourishing with vegetables and fruits.

Her grand father was a contractor, so his company and he had built this place just for them.

A grand fireplace in the living room, a smaller one in the family room, a huge kitchen, five bedrooms for her and her siblings, a guest bedroom, a master bedroom, 4 1/2 bathrooms, a basement, a cellar (off a ways from the house) and an attic. (Three Stories)

I could only imagine how big her grandparents house was.

They didn't have as big of a barn as we did, because they didn't have all the animals as we did, but they did have a decent sized one.

As soon as we got there everyone decided on rooms. Since they were so many everyone could have their own. (Besides Rick, Lori and Carl, but they were to share the master bedroom on the third floor. And Maggie and Glenn would of course share) I insisted on taking Shelby's room.

Everyone silently brought everything in from the cars, and started putting everything where they'd wanted it. And the guys started checking and securing the fences.

When I finally did go up to Shelby's old room, the sight almost brought me to tears. On her wall she used to have a bunch of unframed pictures, most were gone. But she had one that I remember especially, because it was of us. It wasn't even a significant moment, just a time I had spent the night, and we took a picture.

I carefully removed it from the wall and carefully stick it on the inside flap of my journal.

Luckily, she was a size bigger than me in clothes, so I can more comfortably fit in some other clothes.

I quietly walk to her dresser and pull out a pair of dark grey leggings and a black tank top, then over to her closet and pull out a navy grey sweatshirt.

After I re-dress myself, I grab a pair of her cheap combat boots and slide my feet in them.

No one, is downstairs but I light the fireplaces anyway, warm for later. I remember to close the metal gates. From the window I can see Lori and Carol out at the garden picking the fresh produce.

In the kitchen I grab a basket and join them outside.

Later I will be posting some drawings of how I picture the house on my twitter HollaHollaHolll so if you are confused, this should help.
