If you haven't noticed already, I'm a drama addict.
Sorry. and also, i don't know anything about coma's, so if this wouldn't happen I'm sorry.
"Me and Daddy are gonna go home for a bit, ok baby?"
Silence.
"Cause it's Christmas Eve... And everyone's coming over..."
Silence.
"I wanted to stay with you... But daddy... Says I have to go home... I'll bring you your presents tomorrow, and I'll show you what we get for the baby's..." Carol spoke again to the still body on the bed.
He leaned over and kissed his forehead, praying that he wake up soon. "Goodnight Love"
She stood and wrapped her coat around her large belly, waddling out of the room she'd spent almost every day in, if she wasn't in school. School, school was a nightmare, she was alone all day, walking down the hall without daryl was horrible, at least now they had Christmas break.
"I'm ready..." She said to her father who was waiting outside.
"Let's just go, see Mary and josh and everyone, then we can come back tomorrow ok?"
She sighed and nodded, not speaking, just walking to the car. John shook his head and followed her.

Carol was sitting in her bedroom, reading some sucky romance novel when she heard the doorbell ring. She pulled herself out of the bed and waddled down stairs pulling the door open and letting everyone inside.
"Merry Christmas sweetie" Mary said, kissing her forehead as she places a light hand on her stomach.
"Ya..." Carol responded, no emotion in her voice.
"Hey kid..." Josh walked in next, "how are ya?"
"Hi josh" she said, and walked away into the kitchen. Josh turned to look at Mary and then Andrea and Michonne. They just shrugged and shook their heads, following carol into the dining room.
"Hey everyone!" John called from the kitchen, trying desperately to lighten the mood, his daughter was creating.
"Take a seat, the food will be ready any minute."
They all sat, Mary next to Carol, josh next to her, Andrea next, then Michonne, and next to Michonne then Amy and then John, along with an empty seat between john and carol.
Carol looked at the chair next to her for a long moment, just looking at it, thinking about how it's supposed to be daryl sitting in that chair. Everyone spoke to eachother, tried to engage carol in conversation but she wouldn't have it, that chair, it was mocking her, she couldn't handle it. Suddenly she needed to know up, her stomach was doing slips and she knew if she didn't go now all the food would be ruined.
"Excuse me..." She whispered, standing up and rushing into the bathroom, ignoring the calls from her father to come back.
Once she made it in the bathroom she knelt in front of the toilet and threw up the little food she had eaten.
"Oh honey..." She heard someone say from the door. But she couldn't look up to see who before she was throwing up again. She felt a hand on her back and someone pull the hair out of her face.
"Oh Carol, you're burning up" the voice said again, now she knew it was Mary.
"How long have you been feeling sick cally?"
She shrugged, she hadn't been feeling anything per say, for the past week and a half.
"Are you gonna throw up again?"
Carol shook her head.
"Ok, then let's get'cha up into bed"
Carol stood shakily, and she could feel her knees buckling under the weight.
"Josh! John!" Mary called, doing her best to hold Carol up, but she was much taller and very pregnant.
Josh and John both shot up from the table when they heard their names being called, walking quickly into the downstairs bathroom they found Mary holding up a very sickly looking Carol.
"when did this happen?" John said, moving to grab carols other side while josh took Mary's side.
"She was throwing up and she's got one hell of a fever, it's dangerous for her to be that hot, it could hurt the baby's. Just bring her to her bed and I'll take care of her."
Carol groaned from her place being held up by these men, "I... Needa... Puke..." She moaned and they let her down by the toilet where she threw up what was left in her stomach.
"It's alright cally... Just let it out..." John said rubbing her back.
"I'm gonna go make sure there's room in her bed."
Mary walked off then, calling Andrea and Michonne to help her.
"Ya ok now cally?"
She nodded slightly and let john and josh drag her to her feet and bring her upstairs.
Once they got upstairs john noticed all of Daryl's things that, what he had to assume had been on her bed, now on the floor. She really missed him.
"Daddy..." She whimpered as Andrea covered her with just the sheet.
"What's up pumpkin"
"y..you gotta go... See him... Tomorrow... I said I w.. would... So you gotta..." She whispered, her eyes dropping into sleep.
"I think I'm going to stay the night." Mary spoke after Carol had fallen asleep, "no offense john, but you haven't exactly been around any sick children before, let alone a pregnant one"
John nodded in agreement, "you can sleep in the guest room, there are some baby things... But the beds still there. And I'm going to get a bucket" he said, walking out of the room.
"Josh, Andrea, Amy, you should head home"
"She's gonna be ok right?" Amy asked.
"Oh she's fine honey, just a stomach virus probably"
The nodded, kissed their mother and left.

"Some Christmas, huh?" John said from the couch where he sat drinking his coffee with carols head resting on his lap, she was fast sleep but insisted on coming down.
"Sure is" Mary agreed from the large chair across the room.
Christmas morning were supposed to be fun and loud and happy, instead they had one child in a coma and another sick, asleep in her fathers lap. Mary pulled out her camera.
"But this is a picture for the scrap books" she smiled, snapping the photo and putting it back.
"Well, I'll stay here with Carol while you go check on the boy."
John sighed, he didn't want to leave Carol while she was sick, but he knew he had to check in on daryl and that's what Carol would want him to do anyways.
"Daddy..." She groaned and he looked at her. "When are you gonna..." She drifted off sleepily. "Gonna check on daryl..." She finished a moment later.
"Right now baby, so I gotta stand up"
Carol nodded and lifted her head the slightest bit, which, john assumed, was the best she could do. So he out his hands under her head to help her, then once he was up, slowly put her head back into the couch.
"Goodbye sweetheart"
"Bye daddy... Tell daryl... That I... Love him... And to... Wake up..."
"I will honey, just get some sleep"

"Hey lori" John said to the receptionist at the hospital, "Merry Christmas"
"You too Mr. Baker. Where's your girl? Merle's already in there"
"She's at home, not feeling to good"
"Oh that's a shame, hope she gets better soon, wouldn't want her to miss this" she winked and he looked at her confused but just walked into Daryl's room.
When he walked in he found himself looking at merle talking to daryl, and daryl responding.
"Hey John. Where's mousy? She's gonna miss the first day back!" Merle called with the biggest grin on his face.
"W-where's Carol... Is she ok? Is she coming?" Daryl spoke and john stood, dumbfounded.
so ya... anyways, hope ya liked it, don't worry to much about carol, i just like making bad things happen to her.
