Hey guys. I'm afraid I'm not going to update as much. I've restarted the Mass Effect trilogy so I have no idea how much I'm going to update, I can only promise I'm going to update as much as I can. I'm sorry I changed my last chapter with Sarita. It was just too difficult to have her survive, so I changed it. I'm so sorry about changing the story so much, but it was necessary. By the way, take a bow butters101! He/she pointed out some great points and I thank them for that! Anyway, the reasons I keep editing this so much. I do not have a lot experience writing and it's kind of hard to find material. It's actually a real confidence builder when you guys tell me that you guys are liking my stories. Anyway, you guys ain't here to read me monologue , you're here to read about a new ending to Mass Effect and The Walking Dead!

I don't own Mass Effect or The Walking Dead.

A New Future Ch.14

When they got out of the tent, they saw Rebecca hunched over with Bonnie holding her. Clementine heard Luke ask "What does it feel like?"

Rebecca snapped at him "It feels wet."

Clementine asked "What's going on?"

Bonnie answered "Rebecca's water broke."

Clementine said "Does that mean the baby's coming?"

Bonnie nodded, but noticed Kenny and said "Kenny, thank God. We need your help."

Kenny lowered his head and said "Yeah, okay. First things first. We need supplies. Anything you can find. Medicine, food, water, anything."

Jane nodded and said "I'll look near the river. The map says there's a few buildings over there."

Luke said "I'll patrol and make sure this place is walker-free."

As Clementine watched Jane head to the river, she heard Bonnie say "Mike and me will head over to the museum. Clementine, can you go with Jane? I'm not exactly sure about her."

Clementine frowned and said "I'm not going because you don't trust her, Bonnie and in case you forgot, you weren't exactly trustworthy yourself. She's my friend and I don't want her to be in danger."

Clementine then walked off, but looked back towards the group. Bonnie looked at her sadly and she saw Sarah talking with Kenny with Rebecca. Clementine turned back around and followed Jane.

As she got clear of the old buildings, she saw Jane sitting on a bench. As Clementine got closer, she saw Jane holding something. Before she saw what it was, Jane heard her coming.

Jane greeted "Hey, Clem!"

Clementine frowned and asked "What are you holding?"

Jane shook her head and said "Nothing, Clem. Let's see what we can find here."

They went up the metal stairs that lead to a observation deck when Jane shouted happily "Hell yeah!"

When Clementine looked at what she was talking about, she saw a gift shop with one of those giant storm shutters! Jane ran over and started picking the lock. As she did, she said to Clementine "You know, from where I'm from, picking the lock is a lot simpler."

Clementine smiled before she saw something that put lead in her stomach. A lanky boy with a gun in his hands was heading for the observation deck.

He had brown, near black, hair with black reading glasses over his eyes. He had a purple hoodie on with jeans. Around his right leg, there was a walking device.

Clementine whispered "Jane. Someone's coming."

As Jane saw the stranger, she muttered "Shit."

Clementine said "What if you wait for him and I'll get behind him?"

Jane looked at her worriedly before nodding. "Just be careful." was all Clementine heard when Jane went off to hide.

Clementine hid behind the cannon in the middle of the deck as the boy came up. As he passed her, Clementine went the other side of the cannon. As she looked over to him, she saw him pushing a huge yellow bag into a garbage can. She got up and said "Hey."

The teenager spun around and aimed his revolver at her. She put up her hands and yelled "Don't shoot me! I'm just a kid! Who are you?"

The boy, still aiming, said shakily "I'm Arvo."

Clementine noted he had a Russian accent. Clementine glanced behind him and saw Jane sneaking up to him. She watched as Jane spun him around, grabbed his gun, and said "Back off."

Arvo backed away from her and Jane said "Clementine, check if he has any more weapons in the bag."

As she opened the bag, Clementine looked down in shock at the contents. It had medicine, pills, shots, and more. It was enough to last a couple months! As Jane looked down, she saw it and said "Woah."

Arvo shook his head and said "No! Please, take my gun, just not the medicine!"

Jane shook her head and said "Our people need this stuff! Besides if you wanted it, why were you trying to throw it away?"

Arvo said "Please! It's for my sister! She needs it!"

Jane replied "Look, I'm sorry about your sister, but we got people who are suffering right now!"

Arvo shouted back "My people are suffering just as much as yours! Little girl? Clementine, yes? Please."

Clementine zipped the bag up and heard Jane say "You're not taking it?"

Clementine replied "I don't steal from people who don't deserve it."

Jane looked at Arvo and said "Come near us again and you won't be walking away."

She tossed the gun off the deck and watched as Arvo took his bag and watched as Jane leaned on the support and said "I can't believe this. Clem, can you just go tell everyone what we found? I'll get the door opened."

As Clementine went down the stairs, she spotted Luke coming over. When he saw her, he jogged over and asked "Where's Jane?"

Clementine pointed back to the building while saying "We found a gift shop with a shutter. It may be a good place for Rebecca to have the baby."

Luke nodded, but asked "Do you think we can trust her?"

Clementine looked at him, confused, and asked "Who? Jane?"

At his nod, she said "I'm not sure. I mean, I like her, but... it seems like she's hiding something. At night, she has these nightmares. About war, I think. There's a name she's always saying."

Luke asked "What name?"

Clementine thought about it before saying "I don't think it's anyone's business but her own."

Luke shrugged and said "Okay, but what about Kenny? Look, I know he's your friend, but right now he's in a dark place. After Sarita, he just seems broken. Broken people get reckless."

Angrily, Clementine asked "Are you any better? Is anyone? Kenny is my friend and you have no right to say that!"

Luke looked at her confused and she continued "Do you know how much we all have lost? Kenny lost his family and friends, Molly lost her sister, Lilly lost her parents, and I've lost everyone! Stop getting into other people's business and talking behind their backs!"

Before he could respond, she walked off and went back to the buildings where the others were resting.

Shepard's POV:

Jane heard Luke coming up the metal stairs after Clementine had yelled her lungs out. He threw down his rifle, sat next to her, and put his head in hands, groaning.

She smiled and asked "How was the rant from the second smallest member of the group?"

He chuckled and asked "Second smallest?"

Jane pointed out "The baby is the smallest now."

A dumb look settled on his face before he said "Oh. It was irritating and kind of revealing. I mean, I get what she said, but she's acting as though she and her old group are the only one's who have suffered."

Jane hummed before saying "Well, that may be because she blames herself about those deaths. Remember when she told us about Lee and her old group?"

As he nodded, she continued "You have to remember that even though she doesn't act like it, she's a little girl, Luke. An 11-year old girl who's been forced to grow up in this world and make decisions she doesn't want or should make. To kill or spare someone? Those kind of decisions leave marks.I mean, when she was 9, she had to kill Lee. That can do things to people."

Luke nodded and said "Come on. Let's go tell the others."

As they found the others, Jane looked at Rebecca. She was talking to Kenny and saying "What if something's wrong?"

Kenny replied "Nothing's wrong. Baby's know how to be born."

Jane went up to him and said "Kenny, we need to talk."

As she and Kenny went to somewhere private, she said "Before I talk to you about what I wanted to, me and Clementine met someone. His name was Arvo. To be honest, I'm a little worried he might come back with a bigger group."

Kenny sighed and asked "Okay, so what's the other news?"

Jane breathed deeply before asking "What are the main symptoms of pregnancy?"

Kenny shrugged and said "Nausea, exhaustion, body pains, etc. Why do you- You're not pregnant, are you?"

Jane shrugged and said "Maybe. I checked it with a pregnancy test, but I'm not sure I could trust it."

Kenny shrugged and said "Well, the only thing I could think of was the pregnancy test. We can't do an ultrasound or something like that. So, until you start showing symptoms, we won't be able to tell."

Clementine's POV:

Clementine walked up the trail and thought of her conversation with Luke and regretted being so mad at him. She just didn't like people talking about her friends like that. As she approached the museum Mike and Bonnie were searching, she thought about what Jane was hiding. Was Garrus a friend she lost, to the walkers or they got separated? Or was Garrus her husband? Clementine made a note to ask her when she got the chance.

Bonnie saw her and said "Clem! Where's Jane?"

Clementine replied calmly "We found an observation deck where Rebecca can have the baby."

Bonnie smiled and said "Okay. We're almost done, but the snob here says he won't go back empty handed."

Mike defended himself "Hey, I'm just trying to help." Clementine went to a corner of the room and found a jacket. She called "Hey, I found a jacket!"

Bonnie came over and said "That would be a great blanket for Rebecca."

Mike came over and said "Yeah, Lord knows-" he stopped as he saw the jacket and continued "We can't put Rebecca in that. It's a Confederate coat."

Bonnie slapped her head and said "I can't believe I forgot about that."

Clementine shrugged and put the coat in Bonnie's pack and kept looking.

As she moved a box in front of a window, she caught a glimpse of something. She tried to open the shutter sealing the office, but it only opened a little bit. As she peeked in again, she gasped. There were two huge containers full of water, just sitting there in the corner! She called "Guys, take a look at this!"

Mike came over, peeked in, and said "Jackpot!" Clementine smiled and said "Push me through the opening. I'll get the door."

Bonnie came over and started pushing her in, but there was a little trouble. Clementine got stuck. As she tried to get through, a walker came out of nowhere and grabbed her arm!

She screamed "Help me!"

Bonnie tried tugging her out while Mike starting kicking the door. As the walker pulled her arm to its mouth, Clementine tried pulling it back. Just before it bit her, Mike busted the door down and grabbed the walker! He wrestled with it before getting his hands around it's head and twisting! Clementine heard the crack as the body fell to the floor.

Bonnie finally tugged her out and as she stood, Clementine said "Guess I'm not as small as I used to be."

Bonnie chuckled and said "Guess not."

Clementine went in the office and looked at the walker. It wore some pale green clothes like doctors wear and had this white stripe in its hair. Clementine shivered and went to pick up one of the water jugs. She put her arms around it, but she realized it was too heavy for her to carry. Mike said "It's okay. I got it."

He grabbed the containers and lifted them like they were nothing. "Show off" Clementine muttered.

Mike laughed, but stopped when he heard Bonnie hiss "Guys. Over here."

Clementine crept over to her and saw a raccoon just sitting there. Bonnie mumbled "Just walked in like it owned the place. Figured it might make a nice meal for Rebecca."

Clementine shook her head, amused. Mike looked at it before saying "I'd it the shit out of that raccoon."

When he looked at Clementine and Bonnie with their amused smiles, he stuttered "I mean, I'd be really happy to eat that raccoon. Not what you just heard."

When Clementine looked back at the rodent, she saw it looking at them in a threatening stance and growling. Then it took off. Mike and Bonnie walked around looking for it when Clementine saw it near the stairs, hissing. "There!" she yelled.

Mike lunged for it, but the raccoon scampered around his big body. Bonnie tried blocking it's exit, but when she lunged, the animal scurried to the left. Clementine readied herself and tried to grab the black and white bandit, but it bolted between her legs before she could.

Mike was about to shoot it, but Bonnie pulled his arm down and explained "Can't chance it."

Clementine watched as the raccoon stopped and started growling again. Then behind it, came two smaller ones. When it understood the danger had passed, the bigger one stopped growling and walked off with the younger ones. Clementine heard Mike say "How did I get in a place where I'm sad that I'm not eating raccoon?"

Clementine smiled and said "That was kind of fun."

Bonnie laughed and said "Yeah. I guess it was."

They packed up what they found, Mike grabbed the water containers, and they started walking back to the camp.

Time Skip:

Clementine heard Bonnie ask "You sure you don't need help with those?"

Mike said "Nope. Light as a feather."

Clementine muttered under her breath until she saw Jane. Running up to her, Clementine asked "Did you get the shop open?"

Jane nodded and smiled, but it faded once she saw the look in Clementine's eyes. Clementine timidly asked "Can I ask you a question?"

Jane asked "What kind of question?"

Clementine responded by gesturing to a spot they could talk and said "The private kind."

Jane sighed and followed her. When they were out of hearing range, Clementine turned around and asked "Who's Garrus?"

Jane rubbed her head and said "You're not going to let this go, are you?"

As Clementine shook her head, she watched Jane sit down and gather her thoughts.

Jane looked up at her and said "Garrus was a friend. While I was investigating Saren, I told you about him, right?"

As Clementine nodded, Jane continued "Garrus was a, police officer, I guess. He was assigned to Saren's case to find out if there was any evidence that Saren was guilty. His boss pulled him off the case and he just didn't like it. So he quit his job and joined me. You should've seen him. He was like James Bond."

Clementine asked "Who's that?"

Jane sighed and replied "A secret agent. Anyway, he became a very close friend."

Clementine smiled and asked "How close?"

Jane smiled and said "Not as close as you probably think."

As Jane opened a water bottle and started drinking, Clementine asked "Were you & him married?"

Suddenly, Jane choked on her water.

Once she calmed down, Jane replied "No, Clem. Though we did have a relationship, we weren't married and not even close to being married. After Saren, we went our separate ways for a while. 2 years after Saren, we saw each other again. He'd gone through a tough spot, to say the least. I helped him get out of it and, me and him, we got closer. He was shy at first. He was afraid that he would mess up somehow and lose me, but he didn't."

Clementine asked "Why was he afraid he would mess up?"

Jane smiled and said "He'd already seen so much go wrong. He just wanted something to go right for once. He was my support in some of the worst moments of my life. His support gave me strength."

Clementine asked "What happened to him?"

Jane replied "I don't know Clem. The last time I saw him, he was wounded, badly. Kind of like how I was when you and me first met. I called in extraction. I told him to go and get out of there. You know what he said? "And you've got to be kidding. We're in this to the end." But in the end, he left. I went to finish my job. And I ended up here."

Clementine said "Thank you for telling me, Jane."

Jane looked at her and said "Don't tell anyone else. Please, Clem."

Clementine was about to say she wouldn't when Sarah appeared and said "There's walkers coming!"

Clementine ran over with Jane and they saw dozens of walkers... heading their way.

Kenny looked at them with cold fury as he said "I'll take care of this. Keep Rebecca and that baby safe."

Clementine looked around and said "Mike, the water!"

He replied "Got it!"

She shouted "Lilly, help Kenny!"

Lilly shook her head, but grabbed her blade and ran up to Kenny to hold off the walkers. Clementine watched as Kenny hit a walker with his crowbar, but didn't stop. He started bludgeoning hit again and again.

Bonnie saw it and said "Clem, Kenny's losing it."

Clementine shook her head and said "He's only protecting us."

As the others went to the observation deck, Clementine waited for Lilly and Kenny. A walker suddenly turned towards her and started advancing. Clementine raised her poker, but before she could hit it, Kenny hit it with his crowbar from behind with Lilly behind him.

When Kenny and her got up to the observation deck, a surprise was waiting for them. Clementine watched as she saw Molly and Luke... kissing and clearly enjoying it. She asked "Molly?"

They saw her and immediately stopped. Kenny came around the corner, saw them, and shouted "What the heck do you two think you're doing?!"

Luke asked "What's going on?"

Kenny answered "Walkers are coming. Weren't you the one who was supposed to keep them from surprising us?"

Before Luke could reply, Bonnie shouted "They're coming up the stairs!"

Kenny replied "Keep that door shut! Make sure those sons of bitches don't get through! Clementine, go help them."

She shook her head and answered "No, I'm going to help you."

Rubbing his neck, Kenny replied "Alright. Can you try to calm Rebecca down?"

Clementine went over to the pregnant woman and said "You have to be strong, Rebecca. Trust Kenny. He won't let anything happen to you or your baby."

Rebecca nodded and as she grabbed Kenny's hand, he said "Go help them, Clem. I got this."

Clementine ran out of the shop to find the group trying to hold the door closed. Luke saw her and shouted "Clem, find something to jam against the door!"

She immediately turned to the cannon behind her and started pushing it. Sarah got on the other side and, when the group got out of the way, they pushed it against the door. Before they could congratulate themselves on their quick thinking, they heard the sound of snapping wood! Luke grabbed Clem and shouted "The decks coming down!"

Before she could something about it, Clementine watched as Jane and Sarah fell with the deck! As she ran to check if they were still alive, she found they both had grabbed the edge of the deck before they fell!

Clementine heard Jane say "Clementine, get Sarah!"

Sarah was trying not to fall into the waiting arms of the walkers. Clementine looked at them both before jumping and grabbing Sarah's arm. She looked over to Jane and saw her nod and her hand slip... only to be caught by Luke!

Clementine sighed in relief and pulled Sarah up. As they looked back into the gift shop, they noticed Rebecca's screaming had stopped. They saw Rebecca looking up to Kenny. Kenny was holding... the still form of a baby. Clementine looked around to see the horrified and mourning expressions on everyone's faces, including Jane's. Clementine asked "What happened, Kenny?"

Kenny just sat there, with a look that could put sorrow in anyone's heart.

All of sudden, the sound of coughing filled the air, followed by the cries of an infant! Clementine looked into Kenny's arms to see the swaddling form of the baby she knew was coming. Kenny looked at the small baby in his arms with amazement as he handed it to Rebecca. Rebecca announced "It's a boy."

Everyone looked at the newest member of the group with caring and hopeful looks.

Time Skip:

Clementine woke up to the sound of crying and saw Rebecca holding her son. Rebecca noticed her and said "Hey, Clem."

Clementine asked "How is he?"

Rebecca smiled and replied "He's beautiful."

Clementine looked down at the small boy and said "He looks like Alvin."

Rebecca smiled and asked "You think so?"

At Clementine's nod, she asked "Do you want to hold him?"

Shyly, Clementine asked "Can I?"

Rebecca chuckled and replied "Of course, Clem. You're family now."

Clementine took the small swaddling package and smiled. She looked down into the small boys eyes and couldn't help but feel protective. Unfortunately the baby felt uncomfortable and started crying. Panicking a bit, she thought of something and gently rocked the baby. "There, there."she soothed him and he cooed in adoration.

Rebecca smiled and said "See? You're a natural."

Clementine heard from behind "Look at you. Like a big sister."

Kenny stood behind her and he took the baby from her. Before he started talking, Clementine spotted Molly. Clementine walked over and saw her opening the other door. Clementine asked "Molly, are you leaving again?"

Molly replied "I don't really know, Clem. I don't want to leave, but this group is falling apart. I don't want to be here when it happens. I may come back. I just need to think away from the others."

Clementine nodded and said "Hopefully."

Molly replied "You're a good kid, Clementine. Just like Lee."

Clementine watched as Molly went down the stairs and couldn't help but think of everything that's happened. Luke came around and asked "Hey, something wrong?"

Clementine replied "Molly left. Probably for good."

Luke asked "What? When?"

Clementine said "Just now."

Luke paced back and forth and said "She didn't say anything about leaving."

Kenny heard them and said "What's going on here?"

Luke replied "Nothing. I'm sorry. It's just... Molly left."

Kenny snorted and said "That's what your shouting about?"

Luke got angry and asked "What's with you, man? Look, she offered and hell, I needed it."

Kenny scoffed and said "That doesn't matter anymore, Luke. This boy is what matters now."

Luke grew angrier and shouted "Look around you! Okay, everything is shit! At the rate we're going, I'm going to be dead within a week! So forgive me for wanting something normal just one for time!"

Clementine shouted "Stop arguing! Kenny, give me the baby. There's no need to involve him in you and Luke's fights."

Relenting, Kenny handed the crying bundle into her arms and watched as Clementine went to give the baby back to Rebecca.

The next morning, they were walking in the snow. Rebecca was getting weaker and needed support from Bonnie. Luke said to Kenny "We should've waited. Rebecca needed rest and you start marching us in the cold."

Defending Kenny, Clementine said "Luke, we needed to leave. Even if Rebecca had gotten rest, she would still need food."

Before he could argue, they heard "Hello!"

Clementine and Jane turned to see... "Arvo?"

asked Clementine. He started walking towards them and Kenny got ready for trouble. Clementine grabbed her weapon and heard Luke ask "That's the guy?"

Rebecca went to sit down with her baby as the Russian approached.

Arvo limped forward and said "Hello, Clementine."

She asked "What are you doing here, Arvo?"

He smiled and replied "Taking back what's mine."

Behind her, Jane asked "What do you mean?"

Then one by one, three others appeared. A woman with dirty blond hair and a black jacket appeared behind Arvo, a bald tattooed man with a green jacket and a shotgun appeared behind them, and another one with blonde hair and a brown jacket appeared to their side with a rifle.

The bald one spoke in Russian and Arvo replied.

Clementine asked "What did he say?"

Arvo explained "He thinks it's funny that a little girl robbed me."

Immediately, Jane said "We didn't rob you! Hell, I even gave you back your gun!"

Arvo said "I don't know what you're talking about."

Clementine said "You're here to steal our stuff!"

Arvo nodded and said "You have to understand. Winter's coming and we need to prepare."

Kenny roared "You Communist piece of shit! You think you can justify stealing from us?!"

Arvo responded "You've probably done the exact same thing to others."

As the others raised their guns into a standoff, Clementine shouted "But we have a baby!"

Arvo's face showed surprise and he asked "You have a baby with you?"

He conversed quickly with the others, but while he was doing it, Clementine noticed Rebecca wasn't moving. As she watched, Rebecca started twitching... like a walker. Clementine watched it in slow motion. Rebecca twitching her head left and right, the Russians talking with each other, and the baby crying. The boy's cries jerked her into action. She took out her pistol and thought "I'm sorry, Rebecca." She took aim and fired. The bullet went straight through the walker who used to be Rebecca.

She heard Luke cry "No!"

She heard Sarah scream. She heard the Russians shout in alarm. Then she heard the sounds of gunfire filling the morning dawn.

Next time on the Walking Dead

How'd we get here?

We need to get moving if we want to keep that baby alive.

Why is this shit happening?

Sometimes you need to make sacrifices.

Well, well, well. Look who we got here.
