So, I've read a lot a reviews and people have been saying that Violet is pregnant or have been asking that. Well, this is the chapter where your questions are answered.
Rick hugged her, "Thank god. Thank god."
"How?" Hershel asked as he hugged her.
"Solitary." She answered.
"Poor thing fought her way into a cell. Must have passed out. Dehydrated." Daryl said as Jamie and I hugged her.
Once she let go of me, she looked down at the baby in Beth's arms. She looked at Rick and her smile fell, "I'm sorry."
After our reunion was over, we gave her food and water and let her get some rest. Rick, Daryl, and Hershel left the cell block to talked to the woman we found. After a few minutes, they came back in, except for Hershel, he was stitching up her wound and Carl was watching.
"How do you know we can trust her?" Oscar asked.
"This is Maggie and Glenn. Why are we even debating?" Beth asked.
"We ain't. I'll go after them." Daryl replied.
"Well, this place sounds pretty secure. You can't go alone." Rick responded.
"I'll go." Beth offered.
"Me, too." Axel replied.
"I'm in." Oscar said.
The people who were going were Daryl, Rick, Oscar, and Michonne, the woman that we helped.
Carol and I were in the courtyard, watching them pack up. Carol was holding the baby and I was holding Jamie.
"Be careful." I told Daryl before he kissed me.
"Always am." He smirked before ruffling Jamie's hair, "You watch your mom."
"Yes sir." Jamie joked, saluting Daryl.
Daryl kissed me again before nodding to Carol and getting into the Hyundai. We watched as they left and went back inside. Beth and Carol were making dinner and I put the baby, Judith, down for a nap.
"Are you feeling alright?" Carol asked as I ate my second helping quickly.
I nodded, "Just a bit hungry, that's all."
"You've been eating a lot lately, are you sure?" Beth asked.
I looked down at my stomach, it was still skinny as always, "Yeah. I guess because we're in a safe place now, with lot of food and everything, my body is craving more."
They nodded, happy with my answer and we continued eating. After we were done I took the dishes and started cleaning. The others were in the cell block, doing whatever when my stomach started feeling queasy and I became light-headed. I set the bowl I was cleaning and the rag gently on the counter and grabbed the edges. I started breathing heavily and when pain ripped through my stomach and lower back and I screamed.
"Violet!" I heard people yelling.
"Mommy!"
"Vi!"
"What's happening!"
"Hershel!"
I felt hands grabbing me and I was brought to the cells.
"Grab a mattress and bring it here. I don't think she can make it any farther." I heard Hershel say.
"What's happening?!" I yelled as I was laid down and I felt wetness in my jeans.
"Get her pants off." Hershel said and Carol and Beth grabbed my waist band and pulled my jeans off of me.
"Oh my god. Is that what I think it is?" Carol asked.
"I think it is." Hershel answered.
"What are you talking about?" I asked as the pain dulled.
"Violet, have you been feeling nauseous or anything weird in your stomach lately?" Hershel asked me.
"Why?"
"Have you?" Hershel asked.
"Yes! Why? What's wrong with me?" I questioned.
"Pain in your lower back?
"Yes."
"Feeling sick at the smell of cooking meat?"
"Yeah. Are you gonna tell me what's wrong?" I replied.
"Moody?"
"Will you answer the question?!" I yelled.
"You're pregnant."
"What?" I asked.
"You're going into labor." Hershel told me.
I looked at my stomach, "Hershel, are you sure I ain't having a miscarriage?"
He shook his head and I screamed as more pain came, "If you were having a miscarriage, there would be a lot of blood."
"Hershel, I don't think the baby will make it. Look at my stomach, I haven't gained any weight." I said.
"Violet, we will not lose you or the baby. Yes, it will be small, but it will live, you understand me?" Hershel replied.
I nodded, "Now, let's see if you're dilated." Hershel checked and he looked around at us, "Beth, Carl, I need you to hold her hands, she's gonna squeeze them hard, you're warned. Carol, you've been through this before, I'm going to need you're help. Axel, I need you to get scissors, water, a plastic bag, and lots of towels. Jamie, be here for your momma."
They all nodded and Beth and Carl grabbed one of my hands. I squeezed and yelled as another wave of pain hit my stomach and lower back.
"I'm gonna be a big brother!" Jamie exclaimed and I laughed.
Axel came back with the stuff and Carol grabbed a towel and put some water on it before dabbing my face and neck, "Daryl's gonna be so happy. Maybe a little mad he wasn't here, but happy."
"Yeah, you saw how he was with Judith." Beth added.
Hershel told Axel to go into the guard tower and keep watch from the others and when he came back with the stuff Hershel asked for.
I smiled at them and looked at Jamie, "What do you want it to be? Boy or girl?"
"Boy!"
"Alright, Violet, you're just about ready. Once another contraction hits, I need you to push." Hershel said.
I nodded and right as the pain hit my body, I screamed and pushed as hard as I could.
"You're doing great, honey. Keep pushing." Carol said.
The pain stopped and I stopped pushing and we heard screams, and it wasn't from me. "What the hell is that?"
"It came from inside." Beth said. "How is that possible?"
"The tombs are filled with walkers from outside. Anyone could have wandered in." Hershel informed us.
Carl grabbed his gun, "I'm going."
"I can't let you go down there." Hershel said.
"My father would go." Carl replied.
Hershel nodded and Carl left.
"Oh, this is a very stressful day." I commented.
"Indeed it is." Hershel replied.
"You know, maybe it is sorta possible to be pregnant and not have a stomach. I used to watch this show when I was bored, it was called 'I didn't know I was pregnant'. A lot of woman didn't have stomachs when they gave birth, they were just as surprised as I am right now when the baby popped out."
Another contraction came and Hershel told me to push, "I can see the head."
"Finally!" I sighed as I pushed again.
"A few more." Hershel said and I pushed again. "Here it is."
I stopped pushing when I heard the cries of a baby and everything went dark.
***Hershel POV***
"Is she okay?" Carol asked as I cut the cord on the baby boy.
I took Violet's pulse and nodded, "Passed out from exhaustion, I bet. Beth, can you clean him up?"
Beth nodded and took the baby from my arms. I poured some water onto Violet, "Come on, Violet, you still need to push. We have to get the placenta out."
Her eyes opened a little, "You just have to push a little bit more."
Violet's eyes opened more and she sat up slowly, "Push more. Got it."
"Okay, one, two, three-"
Violet screamed as she pushed and I grabbed the plastic bag Axel got me and got ready to catch the after birth. Once we got that out, Carol and Jamie helped her to her cell and get cleaned up. I tied the bag with the placenta in it and set it aside, the others are gonna have to bury it later. I slowly got up with the help of the wall and went into the cell where Beth had the baby.
"He's healthy, small, but healthy." I said.
"He isn't crying anymore, so he's not hungry. Once Violet wakes up she's gonna need to feed him." Beth replied.
I heard the door to the cell block closing and I looked at Carl, "She okay?"
"Had a baby boy. Violet's resting now." I answered.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I heard a woman ask.
Beth handed the baby to Carol and went over to Carl.
"Kid, did you just lock us in here?" A man asked.
"Open the door."
"This room is secure. You'll be safe. You have food and water." Carl replied.
The woman walked up to the door, "Open this door."
"I can't." Carl said,
"Come on, man. We're not animals." She said. "Don't do this."
She looked up at me and banged on the door, "Hey! You can't just leave us in here! Open this door! Open it! Now!"
"Sasha!" The man yelled, pulling her away, "Back away from their door and let the man go. Look around you. This is the best we've had in weeks. His house. We got other things to do." He looked at Carl, "We don't want any trouble."
"Shouldn't we help them?" Beth asked.
"I did." Carl answered.
