I woke up the next morning and looked at my stomach, there still wasn't a difference but I couldn't wait till there was. I remember the ultrasound yesterday and seeing my baby for the first time.
I looked on the bedside table to see the image that Carlos had printed out of the machine for me and Luke, she looked so tiny but I knew that she would be tough throughout this pregnancy and when she's here. My gut instinct is screaming that it's a girl and therefore I think it is a girl...I sure hope so because god help me if it's a boy and he's another Luke.
I went downstairs leaving Luke sleeping soundly, I walked into the living area to see everyone discussing something.
"Hey guys, what are you all talking about?" I asked.
Everyone looked down sadly, "what?, what's wrong?."
"Beca's gone missing" Shel said quietly.
"What?, when?."
"Last night, I told her about me and Carlos an she threw a fit and went to her room, I went to check on her this morning thinking she had calmed down by now but she wasn't there and all her stuff is gone" Shel added.
"Any idea where she could be?" I asked.
"No none, I was supposed to take care of her but look what's happened."
"This is so not your fault Shel, she knows it's too dangerous to go running off in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, you stay together no matter what" I sighed at the distressed look on Shel's face.
"Look I'll go look for her" I volunteered.
"No you won't." I turned to see Luke had come down and was leaning against the door frame.
"What?."
"I said your not risking yours or our baby's life to go looking for a missing person" Luke repeated.
"I'm sorry Luke but I'm going anyway, and if you don't like it tough your just going to have to deal with it" I said and heading to the front door when Luke grabbed my wrist and spun me around to face him.
"Clementine we had a talk about not over doing it."
"Yeah we did, but how is this over doing it?, all I'm doing is going for a walk around the area and see if I can find her, it's not like I'm going to walk for miles."
"Your still not going, last time you did you almost got shot."
"So what?, I'm under house arrest now am I?, listen Luke stop trying to control me and start giving me space because I swear to god if you don't stop I'll leave and you won't see the baby ever..." I didn't wait for a response and instead I opened the door and stormed out.
I muttering and grumbling about Luke, while walking around the whole village calling for Beca.
"Beca!, Beca!" I shouted.
I passed the shop where the incident with Kenny was yesterday and looked to see a Kenny walker roaming inside the shop, I shook my head and carried on looking for Beca.
I had been searching for over an hour, when I realized that she was nowhere to be found and was going to turn back and head back to the house when I heard something up in the trees.
I looked up to see someone's foot quickly disappearing, I walked further to get a better view, that's when I saw Beca sitting on the tree branch. I crossed my arms and said "come down Beca."
"No."
"Beca please, Shel is seriously worried her and Carlos, in fact everyone is and I said I would go and find you."
"surprised she actually still cares about me now that I play second best."
I sighed and climbed the tree to go and sit next to her, I know Luke would kill me if he caught me doing this but I needed to have this conversation with Beca.
"Of course she still cares Beca, your her little sister, she needs to protect you from everything out here."
"I'm not a kid."
"Never said you were, but your sister works so hard to give you the best she can and never asks anything for herself, she wants to be happy, and if Carlos makes her happy then I don't see why they shouldn't date."
"It's always been just me and her, and now that's ruined because of Carlos and Sarah."
"Now, none of this is Carlos or Sarah's fault, your just jealous that your sister cares for someone other than you for a change, but you can't keep her from being happy think about if you were in her position and she was acting the way you were wouldn't you be upset and angry?."
I could see her thinking deeply about it when she eventually nodded, I smiled and said "good, ready to go back and apologize to not just Shel but Carlos and Sarah?."
Again Beca nodded and climbed down the tree with me not far behind, we then walked back to the house.
When we walked into the living area where everyone was Shel shot up and rushed over to Beca giving her a hug, Beca the pulled back and apologized to Shel, Carlos and Sarah. They said that it was ok and everything was fine as it could get.
In the corner I spotted Luke looking upset, his eyes were red and puffy it looked like he had been crying. I was thinking about what had go him so upset and then I remembered what I had said before I left to go look for Beca.
I walked over to him, when he saw me and walked away disappearing upstairs, I followed in pursuit as I was not letting him sulk. I walked into our room and shut the door, Luke was still turned away from me.
"Luke this is getting pathetic."
"What is?."
"This, the sulking after every argument it has to stop because this isn't how you solve an argument."
He spun round to me looking angry "oh I'm sorry for getting upset at the thought of you leaving with our baby and never getting to meet it."
"Luke you know that my hormones are on overdrive right now, besides do you really think that I would leave and be able to cope by myself out there."
Luke shrugged, I sighed and walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my head on his chest and said "I'm sorry Luke but I had to go look for her, we all stick together as much as possible, and look I found her safe and sound."
"I know, I just don't want anything to happen tp you and the baby, you two are my main concern right now."
I smiled and looked up at him "I know and that's why I love you."
We smiled and kissed and for one perfect moment everything was ok.
