The next morning Lilly was awoken by Phillip kissing her neck. His five o'clock shadow was rough on her skin. She made a mental note to tell him to shave. Lilly opened her eyes slowly as the sunlight poured into the bedroom. "Phillip its early." His hand cupped her breast as he turned her to face him. "It's time to get up darlin. This kids will be wonderin where their teacher is and I have work to do." Lilly groaned trying her best to get him to be still, "Let's just stay home. We can stay in bed all day." Phillip laughed as he stood up and started putting on his clothes. Lilly sat up slowly trying to ignore the searing pain that was shooting through her body. This man had really done a number on her. Deep down Lilly knew she was in for a lot worse too. "As appealing that idea sounds I've got a town to run and you have children to teach." Lilly nodded knowing he was right. As she stood a second wave of pain went through her. Phillip turned when she whimpered. "Sore?" Lilly nodded as Phillip smiled. His evil side was ecstatic that he had done this to her. If he could have given himself a pat on the back for his doings he would have. Phillip pulled Lilly into his arms trying not to look too proud of himself. "You'll get used to it. I was easy on you last night. Especially after I found out you were a virgin." He kissed the top of her head feeling the beginning of an erection coming on. Phillip sighed. He had to calm down or he would have Lilly back in bed and nothing would ever get done.
When they were finally able to leave the house Lilly wondered what people's reactions would be. As they walked down the street holding hands people gave them nothing but smiles. Feeling relieved Lilly finally had enough courage to look at Phillip. "Everyone seems to be pleased." He nodded trying to ignore all the eyes on him. Normally he was all for attention but this was different. "They don't have a reason not to be." Lilly tightened her hand the moment she saw Rowan looking at them with wide tear filled eyes. Phillip shook his head trying not to laugh as they walked by. "She's insane." He said loud enough for her to hear and begin to cry harder. Lilly found herself somewhat feeling sorry for Rowan but also had the feeling they hadn't seen the last of her yet.
Once at the school Phillip gently kissed Lilly, "I'll see you tonight." Lilly had to fight the urge to hold onto Phillip and kiss him longer. However, she knew it would make him angry. He had already told her to keep PDA at minimum. "At home darlin." Lilly sighed realizing that he knew what was going through her mind. Phillip gave her one more small smile before turning and walking away to meet Merle who was standing on the street corner. Merle smiled at Lilly blowing her a kiss before Phillip looked up. Lilly rolled her eyes shooting Merle the middle finger which earned her a big smile from him.
"So the rumors are true! You and The Governor huh?" Lilly didn't even noticed Eliza walk up. She smiled looking at her friend than at Phillip's back as he became smaller and smaller in the distance. "Yea...it's true." Eliza looked at her friends reddening face and happy smile. "I knew he had a thing for you. I wasn't going to say he seemed desperate because that would be disrespectful. The poor guy was basically beginning for your attention." Lilly nodded before giggling, "Oh he got it all right." Eliza's mouth dropped as she began burst out in a fit of laughter, "You whore." She smacked Lilly on the back causing her friend to jump. "Easy..." She whimpered as Eliza looked like she had killed her. Eliza leaned forward so no one could hear, "Is he that rough?" Lilly looked around already knowing she was breaking one of Phillip's rules, "Let's just say the man probably read Fifty Shades of Grey to get ideas. Or better yet he gives Christian Grey a run for his money." This was Eliza's turn for her face to turn red. "Dear god... I was going to let you read the next Fifty Shades of Grey book but I think I will just keep that so he doesn't try to kill you." Lily turned with a smile and walked into the school, "If I don't show up for work one day you will know what happened."
(4 months later...)
Life was steadily looking up for Lilly. She and Phillip were actually a great couple. Lilly had even learned to deal with his sadistic sex acts and in return some of the times he was actually gentle to her. He turned out to be good boyfriend even though he was busy the majority of time. Lilly had even learned to be somewhat comfortable around zombie Penny.
One afternoon, Lilly sat in Dr. Stevens office getting her physical. Dr. Stevens seemed concerned with all the bruising on Lilly's body but didn't ask. Lilly had rehearsed the story Phillip had told her to say if Dt. Stevens asked what happened. "I'm clumsy and fell down the stairs." Lilly sat patiently as the Dr was in the other room doing tests.
After 30 minutes she walked back with a concerned expression on her face. "Ms. Lilly...I need to talk to you and The Governor." Lilly blinked a few times feeling immediacy uneasy. "He's in a meeting with Milton doctor" Dr. Stevens nodded before gently taking Lilly's small hand in hers, "Lilly you're pregnant. I'm slightly concerned though. You are so small and your blood pressure seems to be low. I think you should take it easy for a while. No more teaching. Stay home and relax." Lilly was shocked as she looked at Dr. Stevens with wide eyes. She was pregnant...with Phillip's child. It shouldn't have been such a surprise though. Phillip had never bothered with condoms or getting Lilly put on birth control. The only time she mentioned it he became enraged and slapped her across the face. Lilly could never see why he was so angry over that subject but she never brought it up again. "Is The Governor the father?" Lilly's thought were interrupted by Dr. Stevens who smiling gently. Lilly nodded, "Yes ma'am. He's the only man I've been with." Dr. Stevens smiled gently squeezing her hand, "Go on home. I'll bring you some vitamins later. This is a good thing dear. That man needs something to smile about."
Lilly was happy by the time she left the office. Dr. Steven's was right. This would be good for Phillip. Maybe this child would get his mind off of Penny and he would finally be able to let her go. Lilly hoped this would get him to finally say, "I love you" to her as well. Deep down she knew he loved her by the way he looked at her but she wanted to hear it come out of his mouth.
She quickly walked into Phillip's office to tell him the good news, "Phillip! I have something good to tell you! You will never believe what Dr. Stevens told..." Lilly stopped dead in her tracks the moments she saw Rowan sitting on Phillip's desk. She sat facing Phillip with her dress pulled up showing her thigh. "What the hell?" Lilly yelled as Phillip stood up looking at Lilly's heartbroken face. "Lilly...baby it isn't what it looks like." He said looking nervous. Lilly nodded as she backed up before he could touch her, "How could you Phillip? It is exactly what it looks like! We're done." Lilly turned running out of the room in tears.
"Can she not handle competition?" Rowan asked with a smirk. Phillip turned looking furious as he angrily pushed her off the desk before storming out of the office. He had to get home before Lilly done something stupid.
As he ran into the house he didn't even notice Merle and Milton chasing behind him. The apartment was quiet as he tore into the bedroom. Lilly was nowhere to be found. "LILLY!" He yelled going from room to room as Milton nervously approached him, "Sir..." Phillip held up a hand, "Not now." His heart was pounding as he tried to think of where Lilly would go. Merle slowly walked up holding out a paper, "I think she left this for you..." Phillip yanked the paper away looking at Lilly's neat hand writing with heartbroken eyes,
"Phillip I don't know how you could have done this to me! I loved you so much and you still betray me with her. Damn if I was over the fucking moon for you. I would have done anything for you. He'll I'm dumb enough to catch a grenade for you. But I guess that doesn't matter to you. Don't worry about me. I'll be ok. Enjoy life"
If he had ever gotten a "fuck you" from a girl this had to be the worst. Merle watched as The Governor's face went pale and he began to tremble.
"Govenor?" Phillip looked up to see Dr. Stevens standing at the door. Her brown eyes looked concerned as she stepped in. "Yes dr?" She smiled her soothing smile as she stepped foward handing Phillip a bottle of pills. "I came to give these to Ms. Lilly" Phillip looked down at the bottle frowning, "prenatal vitamins?" Dr. Stevens frowned at the confused expression on The Governor's face. "Hasn't she talke to you?" Phillip shook his head sadly as Dr. Stevens gently took his hand, "Sir...you're going to be a father." Phillips mouth fell open. Did the good dr really just say that Lilly was knocked up? He was going to finally have another child with the woman he loved...if he could only find her.
"Governor about Lilly...one of the guards at the gate let her out. She told him that you gave her permission to leave." Phillip looked up at Milton with wide eyes. Was this what the man was tryin to tell him earlier. A wave of fury went through Phillip as he looked up with wild eyes, "Merle bring me that damned gaurd now!" If anyone had seen Phillip angry this had to be the worst! Merle turned quickly walking from the room.
Phillip stood trembling in anger as Merle returned throwing the guard at Phillips feet. The young man who could be more than 20 looked up at The Governor with fear filled eyes. Phillip looked at Dr. Stevens, "Dr please leave". Dr. Stevens nodded not needing to be told twice.
Phillip waited until she was gone to look at the shaking young man on the floor. He looked at him coldly before punching him square in the face. "Why did you let her go?" The boy looked up petrified. He had never seen The Governor so mad and quite frankly all he wanted to do was run. "Please sir. She said you gave her permission to leave." Phillip glared angrily at him, " do I ever give anyone permission to leave fool? Lilly is pregnant and now she's alone out there...WITH MY CHILD! Now what should I do with you? Merle what do you think?" Merle looked up angrily. He liked Lilly like a sister and now that she was unprotected...all hell was about to break out. "Kill him Governor" the boy began to sob as he grabbed onto Phillip's leg. Phillip quickly kicked him off. "Get off. You'll be sorry for this." Without missing a beat Phillip took his gun out of the holster and fired a shot into the boys head. Merle and Milton watched as Phillip preceded to beat the ever loving shit out of the guards body.
Meanwhile with Lilly...
Lilly walked through the woods as quietly as possible. She had quit crying some time ago. Even though her heart was broken beyond all reason she knew crying wouldn't help. She had to find another group of survivors before her baby was born. There was no way in hell Lilly would have stayed at Woodbury now. She couldn't imagine walking around seeing Phillip now. Would he have even care about their child...probably not.
Lilly was so lost in her thoughts she didn't even notice two people standing in front of her. "Are you bit?" One asked causing Lilly to look up. She froze seeing two women with two bitters on in chains. Lilly pointed awkwardly, "uh no I'm not bit. Why do you have bitters?" The black woman stepped forward looking at Lilly closely, "they are harmless when you take away their jaws and arms. Why are you alone?" Lilly shrugged, "I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me an left the group. Where are your group?" The blonde woman stepped closer now, "it's just us. So do you have a name?" Lilly nodded feeling a little more relaxed now. "My names Lilly." The blonde nodded, "nice to meet you. My name is Andrea an this is Michonne. Why don't you come with us? It would be safer for you." Michonne nodded, "we do g normally take up strangers but you look safe." Lilly smiled feeling relieved already. They weren't no group like she was used to but what the hell.
Lilly quickly fell I to step with Michonne and Andrea. She told them all about Phillip and what happened. Michonne quickly began trying to find things for the baby when it was born. "Don't worry. You don't need to man for a child to be successful. Andrea and I will help you all the way." Lilly was happy she had found people to care for her but she found herself missing Phillip. She wondered if he even missed her and if he ever found out she was pregnant. Lilly missed waking up in his arms and the way it felt when he kissed her. If he was happy with Rowan though then she would have to learn to accept it. Lilly knew it would be hard when the baby was born. Seeing Phillip's child would be difficult.
(2 months later)
Lilly, Michonne, and Andrea walked through the woods in silence. The days were beginning to get hot again. Michonne looked back at Lilly carefully. She wasn't looking pregnant. She only had a little bit of a round stomach now. Michonne wouldn't say if but she wouldn't say it out loud. Today Lilly looked really pale. Michonne knew they had to find a place soon. Lilly wouldn't be able to take wondering around much longer.
"Look at that smoke." Andrea said quirky. Lilly looked up to see smoke billowing into the sky. Michonne frowned before looking at her friends and walking toward the smoke.
Lilly walked quietly beside Andrea as they came upon what looked like a helicopter crash. Michonne looked back at them carefully, "You two stay hidden here. I'll go take a look." Andrea nodded as she helped Lilly sit down in the bushes. Lilly took a deep breath fighting off the wave the urge to throw up. Andrea gently squeezed her hand, "it's gonna be ok girl just rest." Lilly tried to relax but looked up as Michonne came running over. "There's someone coming." She quickly got down beside Lilly.
Lilly frowned notching those cars right away. Her heart began to pound as she squeezed Michonne and Andrea's hands. Michonne slightly frowned looking at Lilly's worried expression. Lilly closed her eyes tightly as as prayed this was just some dream.
"Spread out!" That voice sent chills down Lilly's back. Her eyes snapped open to see Phillip no further then a 100 yards away. She felt a wave of sadness as she looked at him. Phillip had changed since she last saw him. He looked older and almost had a sinister expression on his face. Lilly let her hand fall to her slowly growing stomach as she starred at her lover sadly. His hair had more gray in it now but still was nice and neat. "That's Phillip" She whimpered. Michonne and Andrea both gasped quietly.
Lilly continued to watch Phillip and the guards as they did their business. She had to fight the urge to run to him. Would he even care if she did? How would he react seeing her? "Let's roll out!" He said to the guards. Andrea sighed in relief. Lilly tried to fight the urge to cry as she watched him.
All of a sudden Michonne's pets started making a lot of noise. Phillip and the guards stopped and began to look around. Michonne quickly stood up and killed the pets. Lilly watched with horrified eyes. She didn't expect Michonne to kill the pets. After all they had protected them all winter. Michonne sat back down with her friends as Lilly's said ex boyfriend began to walk away. She frowned hearing sticks breaking and quickly went for her sword.
"Easy girl. Mines a whole lot bigger then yours now drop your weapons. Let me see your hands." Lilly felt her heart freeze hearing this voice. She glanced at Andrea who looked as petrified as she did. "Now turn around. Let me see yall." Lilly slowly turned coming face to face with Merle. He smiled real big, "holy shit! Ms Lilly and blondie!" Lilly watched with wide eyes as Merle quickly killed a random bitter that was walking up. "Now how about a hug for your old pal Merle!" Lilly blinked a few times before looking at the sky and passing out cold
