Chapter 4: We Once talked about having a baby
I walked up the catwalk to find Carol and Daryl talking.
"Are you okay?" Carol asked walking up to me she didn't look happy. I nodded.
"Daryl told me about what happened. Everything okay, it's just your ligaments stretching to make room for the little one" She continued and walked down the Catwalk in a huff.
I walked to the side of Daryl and relaxed my arms on the rails, looking out at the front of the prison. The world seems so dull from where every walker has taken the brightness out of it. I closed my eyes just hearing to sound of hungry walkers.
"Carol was really upset when we came back and you weren't there" I broke the silence and then opened my eyes.
"I know. She thought I came back for her"
I Inhaling the fresh air but with a sent of bloodiness. Of course Carol would have thought Daryl came back for her but in fact he only came back for me, the unborn baby and Judith.
"When you planning on telling Glenn?" Daryl continued changing subject.
"I can't, I can't tell him"
"Why?" He seemed confused.
"He will push me away; he will walk out on me"
"Maggie, that's not Glenn. He would never do that to you"
"I know, but what If he dose" My eyes started to fill with water.
"He won't"
"Glenn and I once talked about having a baby" I chuckled.
"Really?" Daryl chuckled back
"Yeah. How we would watch it grow into a mini version of me and Glenn. I would teach the beautiful toddler how to talk and Glenn would teach how to walk. And how it would come home from school and see us cuddled up on the sofa watching a pointless movie. And then in a few years time finally when Glenn has accepted that the love of our child life is perfect for them, we would be surrounded by loads of our grandchildren. But who am I to fool, the chances of that is so slim" I said with bucket full of tears rolling down my face.
He didn't say anything, he didn't need to. I glanced into Daryl eyes and they told me everything. I could see the sorrow and regret as he was clearly speaking in his thoughts. I looked away as I couldn't take it anymore.
"I will go and get some baby formula and other helpful stuff tomorrow. It would look a bit odd to the others if I go now" He finally spoke.
"I really appreciate everything your doing. Thank you" I whispered
"Anything to help but first if I was you I would concentrate on telling Glenn tomorrow or later, okay?" He placed his cold hand on my shoulder.
I nodded and Daryl walked off the catwalk and into the distance leaving just the two of us. I then heard something fall from inside the catwalk. I quickly turned my heart pounded like a drum. I flickered my eyes uncontrollably. Then Merle walked out.
"Jesus, Merle!" My body relaxed.
"I knew it! That's why Daryl came back! Because you're pregnant!"
Merle must have heard Daryl and me talking. Out of all the people I know I wanted Merle to be the last to hear. There is no way this is going to be a secret anymore.
"Keep it down!" I gritted my teeth together.
"Oh my god. You where pregnant at Woodbury and Glenn didn't even know" He turned and walked away laughing.
"Merle" I yelled grabbing onto his arm
"Get off me" He shouted back
I felt his cold hands land on my shoulders pushing me back. I stumble at his strength onto the floor letting out a whimper. Everything around me spins and smears, making me dizzy.
"What the hell did you do to her?" I heard a familiar voice. The familiar figure pushed Merle and kneeled to me. It was Glenn his fresh sent over come me as his hand shielded me. I threw my head onto his chest looking away.
"Merle? You're making trouble already" I heard Daryl shout
"I am going to kill you" Glenn pointed to Merle.
"What's going on?" Rick said on the last step of the catwalk.
"It's Maggie, isn't it?" Merle shouted. I looked up from Glenn's chest.
"Merle shut it!" Daryl threatened.
"Maggie's Pregnant!"
Glenn let go of me and ran towards Merle but he got stopped by Daryl.
"Leave her alone! You stay away from her!" Glenn shouted over Daryl shoulder.
"Go back and see if Maggie is okay!" Daryl calmed Glenn down and took his brother by the arm.
"We will put him in a cell" Rick said pushing Merle with Daryl.
"Maggie is having a baby, Glenn!" Merle shouted from the bottom of the catwalk.
Glenn turned to face me; his face was shocked but confused.
What do you think of Merle and Glenn?
