Rick woke up in his bedroom alone. Was he dreaming? Was Jessie even there that night? She had to be. He sat up and went to grab his watch off the bedside table, it was on top of a note. He put his watch on and picked up the note.

Had a great night, however mother duty does call loudly,

Tonight?

-Jessie.

Rick smiled, he put the note in the side drawer. He pulled on his shirt and buttoned it up. He finished getting dressed and started walking down stairs. On his way down he heard someone vomiting and crying. He backed up and it was coming from Carols room. He stepped in and held her hand.

"Morning sickness?" She squeezed his hand back.

"Uh-huh.." She said, as she puked and cried again.

"Puke Phobia?"

"Uh-huh." Rick got on his knees and started rubbing her tense shoulders. She crossed her arms and leaned her head against her arms.

"Want me to get Daryl?"

"No, can you get Jacob, hes a doctor." Rick wasn't concerned at first but as soon as she said. Hes a doctor and not hes my brother, he felt a panic. He rushed into Jacobs room.

"Carol wants you, she is in her room, crying and omitting."Jacob didn't look surprised, he stood up and headed out of the room.

"Carol, do you think it could be?" Jacob asked as he sat down beside her.

"Inst it to late for that? Isn't that impossible?" She cried out.

"I don't know whats impossible anymore." Jacob ran the water in the tap, he pulled off his shirt and wet it, ice cold. He put it around Carol's shoulders and neck. "Lets get you to bed, i'll grab a bucket.

( 3 months later.)

The hotel was running out of food, and the water was starting to run out. Rick had been scowling neighborhoods with Morgan. They had started to set up a move in to the nursing home in a few nights but this particular night was to rest as everyone was exhausted.

Rick laid in bed with Jessie.

"Did we do what was right? Making Peter leave?" She said holding his hand.

"He pushed down a flight of stairs, he is lucky I didn't kill him." Jessie bit her lip and just snuggled up to Rick.

"Your going to drive me crazy you know." Carol said jokingly as Daryl was pretending his fingers were a person trying to climb a great mountain. The mountain? Her belly. Daryl started laughing and just rested his hand on her stomach. Daryl started drifting off but was awoken by a scream coming from his room, Carols scream.

He grabbed the knife on his bedside, when he rolled over he saw Carol on the ground."Where is it? Wheres the walker?" He yelled panicked.

"ITS NOT A FUCKING WALKER!" She screamed. He threw the knife on the ground and leaned beside Carol. "Pull my pants off! Call Jacob, NOW!" Daryl's brain still didn't click.

"What... are you okay?" he said confused.

"Ag! I am having this baby! JAACCOOOB." Jacob came rushing in as everyone else did.

"Move." Jacob said. He pulled down Carols Pajamas. "I have to do this no gloves, are you okay with that?"

"JUST DO IT... FUCK.." Carol screamed. It was a long few hours, but Carol pushed as hard as she could, and as the baby popped out, the look of pure hope across everyones face, including Carl's, was beautiful. Jacob wrapped the baby up and handed it to Daryl, who then leaned it down to Carol. "What is it, a boy or girl?" Jacob smiled

"Its a boy Carol. Congratulations." Carol started crying and kissed the little boy.

"What do you want to name him?" Daryl looked confused then he got an idea. "How bout Justin? When I was a kid, a kid named Justin, saved my life, if he didn't do that, I wouldn't be here. Ya know?" Carol was okay with the idea but she had something different in mind.

"How about Axel? He did save me life." Daryl wasn't fond of that idea either.

"How about A.J?" Rick suggested. "I mean, it showcases two heroes right?" Carol held the baby in her arms.

"A.J huh? Little A.J Dixon." This made Daryl smile.
