I was thinking about doing random chapters of Ellie and Joel living in the Community in Jackson, I'm not sure how many chapters I will do but there will be random stories. There will be different events and holidays they may celebrate has a community, but be warned people who are sensitive... there maybe horror in some chapters.

I thought I'd begin where Ellie and Joel arrive at the Jackson Community, then we can venture through the years until the present day game. I finished the game now, it was a different. If anyone would like to discuss the game my dms are open.

I'm beginning the heartbreak parts now, I'm not going to cover everything in the game. I have ideas about flashbacks and Ellie's journey to find Abby, I'll even write about the farm. We'll see where these ideas go, maybe I'll try to give Ellie some kind of an happy ending.

Chapter 22!

Eight Months Later

Winter - November 2039

The months had flown by since Ellie had faced Abby, it had taken it's toll on everyone. Especially on Dina, she was heavy pregnant and struggling to cope since Jesse had died. Jesse's Mother Robin had been looking after Dina since she found out that she was going to be a Grandmother, she was an amazing woman and she supported Dina's relationship with Ellie.

Ellie still had nightmares about what had happened to Jesse, she blamed herself for his death. He was going to be a Dad, it was unfair how he would never get to see his unborn baby. If she hadn't have gone after Tommy then maybe he would still be alive, but she knew she couldn't change the past.

Jesse has been buried in The Jackson Community's cemetery not far away from Joel's grave, it was a double heartbreak for Ellie whenever she visited the cemetery. She had visited them both this morning and left flowers on their graves, she had even spoken to Joel about becoming a stepmother to Dina's unborn baby.

Ellie was nervous about Dina going into labour, she had been reading books about childbirth and child development for months now. There was so much she needed to learn yet about babies, but she was going to support Dina every step of the way through her pregnancy. Ellie and Dina had decided to move away from The Jackson Community at some point after the baby was born, they had found a house with some farmland not far away from the community. It just needed fixing up and a fence would have to be built around the area, it would be safe for their little family.

They were staying at Ellie's garage apartment for now, Tommy had offered them Joel's house but Ellie declined his kind offer. She wouldn't be able to handle living there, she was still having flashbacks about Joel's death. Today had been like any other day, they had been sorting out baby stuff and spending time together in Ellie's garage apartment. It's how they spent most of their days now, life had become quiet for them both since they returned home.

" Ellie!" Dina yelled.

Ellie look over her shoulder and closed the book she was reading, she placed it on the bedside cabinet before she got up from the bed. She headed to the bathroom and smiled at Dina when she saw her struggling to get out of the bathtub, she had advised Dina to shower since she had trouble getting out of the bathtub these days.

" Hey there, Moby Dick." Ellie said.

" Oh ha-ha!" Dina said, she rolled her eyes at Ellie before she smiled at her. " A little help, Mama is becoming a beached whale here."

" I'll go and get my shipmates." Ellie said with a chuckle. " I won't be long."

" Don't you dare!" Dina smiled.

Ellie grabbed a towel from the side and walked over to her girlfriend, she then helped her out of the bathtub. She wrapped the towel around Dina and gave her a hug, but she couldn't hardly get her arms around her anymore since Dina's baby bump was getting between them.

" I hope you like oven baked fish and roasted cherry tomatoes, it's in the oven warming up as we speak." Ellie said while she pulled herself away from Dina. " Robin brought it round at lunch time, she said you need more calcium and zinc in your diet."

" That woman is a godsend." Dina said.

" She's also a good cook, don't forget that part." Ellie said.

Ellie told Dina to get dressed, she was going to sort out their dinner. She left Dina in the bathroom and headed to the kitchen, she soon plated up their food. Dina settled down on the couch and Ellie brought her food over for her on a tray, she then went to get the other plate of food from the kitchen area.

They settled down on the couch together and chatted about anything that came to their minds, they ended up talking about baby names again. Dina wanted to call the baby Jesse Joel if it was a boy, she hadn't really thought of any girl names though. She was certain she was having a boy, she had told Ellie that the baby kept playing football with her bladder.

" Oh, ouch!" Dina whinced.

" Are you okay?!" Ellie asked before she placed her plate down on the coffee table. " Is it time?!"

" Not yet, this little one is just playing football with my kidneys again." Dina said with a smile while she rested her hands on her baby bump. " He's going to be trouble, do you want to feel the baby kicking?"

" Sure." Ellie replied.

Ellie rested her hand on Dina's baby bump, she could feel the baby moving around and kicking away inside Dina's womb. She couldn't help but smile, it was moments like these when Ellie wished Jesse and Joel were around to experience these precious moments with them. She leant forward and told the baby to behave himself in there, but the little guy was in a wiggly mood.

" Jesse would have found this hilarious, he would have adored this little bundle of energy." Dina said as she sat up and puffed up the cushion behind her." Oh, what's this?"

Ellie watched as Dina pulled something from behind the cushion on the couch, it was a little carving of a rabbit. Ellie took the carving from her girlfriend's hand and examined it, she had almost forgotten about this little gift Joel had given to her years ago.

" Joel made it for me when he first setup his workshop." Ellie said before she placed the carving on the coffee table. " He told me it was a reminder about the time I nursed him back to health one winter, he got injured at a university in Eastern Colorado."

" How old were you when that happened?" Dina asked.

" I was fourteen, just a kid." Ellie replied.

" You guys went through a lot together, huh?" Dina asked.

" Me and Joel travelled together for over a year, we had some wild adventures across America." Ellie replied, she looked at Dina and smiled. " Some were good and others were bad, we lost some good friends along the way."

" How did you cope?" Dina asked. " I mean you were just a kid, it must have been overwhelming at times."

" Joel kept me going, he was the best." Ellie replied.

" I know how you feel, it was the same when I was travelling with Talia." Dina said.

Dina wrapped her arms around Ellie and rested her chin on her girlfriend's shoulder, she had the felt the same way as Ellie when she was travelling with her big Sister. Dina never told Ellie much about Talia, she had died in an accident years ago before she found The Jackson Community.

" Talia would have been an amazing Aunt." Dina said with a sigh. " She loved babies, we use to feed stray kittens when we were young."

" Do you want to talk about her? " Ellie asked.

" Not right now, but maybe some other time." Dina replied.

" Okay." Ellie said.

Dina pulled Ellie back towards the couch, she pulled a blanket over them both and made sure Ellie was comfortable. Dina told Ellie that she just wanted to snuggle and talk about her baby's birth, she was nearly over due.

" I want you with me at the birth." Dina said before she draped her arm around Ellie's shoulders. " That's if you've not chickened out yet, it's not going to be pretty."

" No fucking way, I'm going to be there!" Ellie said.

" Hey, no swearing in front of the bump!" Dina smiled.

" Sorry, but I mean it..." Ellie said while she looked at her girlfriend. " I'm going to be there every step of the way, this is important to me. I love you and the little potato growing inside of you, you're my family."

" You're going soft, but I love you too." Dina smiled.

Dina kissed Ellie's forehead, she told her that they would be happy together on their dream farm. Dina wanted to keep chickens and breed sheep, she even told Ellie that she wanted a goat. It was Dina's dream and Ellie liked the sound of it too, she couldn't wait to have her happy ending with Dina.

The Farm

Summer - 2040

The months had flown by since baby JJ had been born, it had been one of the most amazing experience Ellie had ever been allowed to take part of in her whole lifetime on this planet. The birth had been long and tiring for Dina, but Ellie never left her girlfriend's side. Ellie had immediately fallen in love with little Jesse Joel when she first saw him snuggling into Dina's chest, he was so adorable. JJ was the spitting imagine of Jesse, his brown eyes and dark hair was a constant reminder that Jesse lived on in his Son.

They had stayed in The Jackson Community until Dina was well enough to travel to the farm, they had gotten a lot of help from some of the local carpenters with the repairs on the farm house. It was amazing what they had done with the place, they made sure they had everything they would need on the farm and a fence had been built around their new home.

Dina and Ellie had immediately settled into their new life on the farm, they were growing vegetables and keeping livestock. It was hard work but Ellie was enjoying her new lifestyle changes, it was peaceful and she loved it that way. JJ was nearly six months old now, he was coming on in leaps and bounds with his development. Ellie loved spending time with him and Dina, they mostly sat on the porch in the evenings while Ellie played her guitar for them.

Today was like any other day, there was chores to be done on the farm. Ellie had gotten up earlier with JJ, she made sure he was washed and dressed before she made herself some breakfast. Dina was going to feed JJ while Ellie made a start on the farm, they had recently had a couple of new arrivals in the barn outback.

" Ellie, the chickens are loose again!" Dina yelled from the kitchen. " It looks like Florence as done her famous lock picking trick again!"

" I'm on it!" Ellie said.

Ellie ate the last of her toast before she took JJ from his highchair, she headed to the kitchen with him. She wrapped one of her arms around Dina's waist and rested her chin on her girlfriend's shoulder, she then broke the news to her that JJ had pooped himself once again.

" Don't worry, I've got this." Dina said, she stopped what she was doing and took JJ from Ellie. " Who's got a stinky toosh toosh? Come to Mama, I'll get you all cleaned up!"

" It smells like a farmyard in here, what's the boy been eating?" Ellie asked.

" Some of Mama's good old breast milk." Dina replied before she cuddled her Son. " Also some crushed apples, I've been making him some apple puree."

" No wonder he's stinky then." Ellie smilled.

" Hey, he's smells beautiful to me!" Dina laughed.

Ellie smiled at JJ when he decided to pull at Dina's hair, this was one of the reasons why she kept her hair short these days. She left her family and headed to the kitchen door, she heard Dina telling her that she needed to fix those coop locks again. Opening the back door she walked outside and took in the morning air, the weather was now heating up. Ellie loved the open countryside, they could see for miles from the front porch of the farm house.

" Good morning world!" Ellie said.

Ellie stretched her arms above her head before she went to fetch the bucket of feed, it seemed like Florence wasn't the only escaped chicken on the loose. She could see two brown chickens pulling worms from one of Dina's flowerbeds, they were doing a good job by keeps the worms and bugs away from the growing planets.

" Nellie, I might have known..." Ellie sighed.

Dina had joined Ellie outside, she told her girlfriend that Nellie was for the cooking pot if she didn't stop her from messing around in her flowerbeds. Ellie told her not to be mean, she was actually fond of Nellie the chicken.

" Ignore her girls, let's get you fed!" Ellie said while she picked the bucket of feed up from the top of a barrel. " Florence, move those chicken legs. Come on Nellie, it's breakfast time!"

Ellie shook the bucket and the chickens soon came chasing after her while she walked over to the gate of the coop space. She opened the gate for them and they hurried inside to meet their other chicken friends, the gate was soon closed behind Ellie by Dina.

" See, they're angels." Ellie said.

" All I see is a bunch of free ranged nuggets." Dina joked, she rested her elbow on the fence. " We need to clean out the barn today, also we need to make a trip to Jackson at some point. JJ needs some new baby grows, he's becoming a ball of muscle."

" We can do that tomorrow, it will give me a chance to visit Tommy and Maria." Ellie said before she scattered some chicken feed across the ground. " We can also visit Robin, I bet she would love to see JJ again."

" Sounds like a fun day out, I'll make us some sandwiches." Dina said with a smile. " Maybe we can trade Nellie in for a Rooster, I think we need some more chickens around here."

Ellie rolled her eyes at Dina, she loved winding her up about Nellie and the other chickens. They had become like pets to Ellie since she got them from Jackson, she really enjoyed their company and their mischievous antics on the farm.

" I better get this one changed, he's stinking up a storm out here!" Dina said with a smile. " Say bye bye to Ellie, she's going to feed those chick chicks and fix that lock on that chicken coop!"

" See you later, potato." Ellie said, she kissed him first and then Dina. " I won't be long, I'll collect those eggs when I've fed those pesky chickens."

" Okay, be careful out there." Dina said.

" Careful is my middle name." Ellie joked.

" Like I've not heard that line before..." Dina laughed.

Dina waved JJ's hand at Ellie before she carried him back to the house, it wasn't long until music could be heard playing from inside of the house from an open window. Ellie sang along to the song playing while she fed the chickens, this was the life she had been dreaming about ever since she settled down with Dina on the farm.
