Megan Grimes, thirty two years old and pregnant with her first child. It should be a happy time for her but instead she's fighting to survive with her sister in law and nephew. What happens when Daryl becomes overly protective of the mother to be?

-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-

The first few days at Woodbury hadn't been as bad as Megan thought. She was welcomed with open arms by all of the residents and although she didn't trust The Governor completely, he too had welcomed her, he treat her well and had kept to his promise of punishing Shane, so she thought anyway.

Shane kept his distance, he avoided her in the streets of Woodbury and never entered the Governors house while she was there.

She missed her family but still believed The Governor had been sending people to look for them, which he had but not to keep them safe or bring them to her.

Although after two weeks Megan began seeing The Governors true colours when she found out what the entertainment at Woodbury was.

She never expected to see men fighting against each other and then walkers. It was then she knew this place wasn't all it seemed which led to her curious side coming out.

She started by snooping around the house when The Governor wasn't in. She came across many things, the worst being a room full of fish tanks, no fish, but walker heads.

She inspected each one, curious but disgusted. She hadn't heard the footsteps approaching until an arm was around her neck.

"What did I tell you?" The governor snapped tightening his grip.

"I-I'm sorry." She stammered.

"Not good enough, think you need to learn a lesson." He said.

The Governor took her back to the room she had been in when she first arrived. He put a gag in her mouth to stop her from shouting and screaming before getting one of his men to hold her down while he tied her up once again.

She was shaking in fear, she wanted it all to be over with, the only thing keeping her from completely loosing it was her unborn baby.

She just wanted to be back with her brother, her friends, family, Daryl.

As Daryl, Rick, Merle and Glenn approached the wall they could hear loud music, cheers and laughter.

"Sounds like they have it good here." Glenn said.

"They had guards standing over near the gate." Daryl said as they approached the area he had been in shortly before.

"Doesn't look like there are any guards." Rick commented.

"Must all be at this party they seem to be having. I say we crash this shit." Merle chuckled.

"No, we need to check it out first." Rick said. "Need to find a gap in their wall find away to sneak in and have A look around maybe. Remember we are only doing this too see if Megan is here, if not we leave them alone." He suggested.

They heard twigs snapping behind them and raised their weapons expecting walkers or maybe a look out for the town.

A tall black women appeared with her katana outstretched in front of her.

"Who are you, are you with the town?" Rick asked raising his gun to her.

"No."

"Then why are you here?" Daryl hissed. "We have stuff to do!"

"Around the back..there's a way in." She said.

"Why are you telling us this?" Merle asked not trusting her one bit.

"I need to get my friend out, there's guards in the holding areas more than I can take on. I heard you talking. You want a way in, I will show you but you help me in the process." She said keeping her eyes fixed on them.

"Holding area, maybe they have Megan there." Daryl said.

"Or maybe this is a trap." Merle said.

"Forget it." The women said before attempting to walk away.

"No, wait, show me please. I'll go alone if I have to." Daryl said sounding almost desperate.

The women nodded once and set off again with Daryl following.

"You can either help or wait. Ether way I'm going to see if Megan is there." Daryl called.

A few seconds later and he could hear them following behind muttering quietly between them.

Megan couldn't be sure how long she had tied up in the room for. Someone came and gave her food every so often but with no window in the room she couldn't tell when nightfall came or when morning arrived. To her it felt like she had been there for weeks.

On one occasion Shane came through the door grinning.

"Got a friend for you." He grinned before pulling a person into the room. They had a sack on their head and their hands tied together.

Another chair was brought in and the persons was sat down in it before being tied to it.

The sack was taken off the person head.

Megan gasped when she saw the familiar face.

"Andrea."

The two women's eyes widened when they saw each other.

Before either could say anything else they had been gagged.

A man with a gun stayed in the room the entire time, every so often he would ask if they needed anything, apparently even with a mean streak the Governor wouldn't let a pregnant women starve. Although Megan hated the governor at that moment she was thankful for that.

A few days after Andrea arrived the guard never returned to their room. Instead they could hear the music and cheering from outside.

Megan and Andrea tried their best to work the gags from their mouths. Eventually Andrea was successful.

"We need to get out of here."

Megan nodded and continued to attempt to get the gag off while Andrea tried to figure out what to do next.

Eventually she got free off the gag. "It happens weekly. Everyone gathered to watch people fight other people and then walkers." Megan explained even though her mouth was dry. "They won't be back for a while. We need to get out, out of this room and out of Woodbury."

"Where's Rick? The group?" Andrea asked as she tugged at the ropes binding her hands.

"Shane took me from them a month back maybe, I don't know. I've been in here ages. I've been so stupid." She began to cry.

"We both trusted him, when Shane found me and Michonne in the woods I thought I could trust him again even after eventing that happened at the farm. " she tugged her hand out of the rope. "Done it." She said pulling her hands free. Her wrists were bloody from tugging against the rope.

Andrea pulled her legs free of the rest of the ties and immediately began untying Megan.

"Let's just focus on getting out off here." Andrea said calmly wiping Megan's tears.

"How though? We need weapons. There might still be a guard outside on watch."

They both began looking around the room. It was empty apart form the two chairs and a few cupboards which too where empty.

"The chairs." Andrea said.

Megan nodded not needing her to explain as they began to smash a leg of the chair.

"Knock them out at least." Andrea chuckled slightly.

"Stay behind me." Andrea ordered.

Megan nodded knowing now defiantly wasn't the time to argue.

The door was unlocked which surprised them as the cautiously walked out and into the dark corridor.

The walked down the long dark corridor before rounding a corner. There were two guards with their backs to them near the open door watching the viscous fighting of a man and a walker.

They creeped up behind the men and. Andrea hit one over the head as hard as she could causing him to plummet to the floor alerting the other guard of her presence. She grinned at the guard before plunging the chair leg into his throat. Blood splattered across Andrea and Megan as the man sleepy fell to the floor. She hadn't expected that to happen but it worked.

"Any weapons on them you take." Andrea ordered.

Megan nodded and took a knife, pistol and rifle from the dead guards body. She stabbed him in the head in case he came back before they had gotten out of there and Andrea did the same to the other although he was only knocked out.

"Ready?" Andrea asked.

Megan nodded. "How do we sneak past them though?" She asked nodding towards the clueless Woodbury residence.

Andrea grinned and held up something in her hand.

"Smoke canister."

Megan smiled and Andrea set the smoke canister off throwing it towards the residence.

They only noticed when their surroundings became foggy leaving Megan and Andrea enough time to head towards the gate.

"Can't get out." Andrea panicked.

"Is there any other way out?"

Andrea thought for a moment before nodding and pulling Megan along with her hand.

The Woodbury residents were running around like crazy and shots were randomly being fired.

Megan and Andrea came to a large open area.

"Through there." Andrea ordered.

"Ah, ah, ah, I don't think so ladies."

They both turned around to see Shane stood behind them with two guard pointing guns at them.

"Nice try." He smirked. "Weapons on the ground." He ordered.

They looked at each other before slowly placing the guns on the ground keeping the knives hidden in their boots. If they planned it right they could have taken the two guards out easily leaving them with just shave who had stupidly arrived with no weapon but neither wanted to take the risk.

"Good girls."

Daryl, Rick, Glenn, Merle and the women they now knew of as Michonne approached a metal gate. They could here fast footsteps so stayed low.

"Andrea?" Rick whispered when he saw the familiar face beside Megan.

"You know her?" Michonne asked.

"Yes." He answered.

"Your the group that left her at the farm."

"We didn't mean too now come on let's get them." Daryl said forgetting any potential danger and he began to approach them.

He was pulled back by Rick and Merle.

"Stop, look." Rick hissed.

Daryl watched as Andrea and Megan were forced to lower their weapons and place them on the ground.

"It all comes back to that asshole Shane." Daryl muttered angrily.

"At least they are alive." Rick pointed out.

"For now."

"We need a plan and a damn good one." Glenn announced.

"Well come I. Pizza boy hurry up." Daryl urged.

"Suppose that's better than Chinaman." Glenn muttered.

Megan had heard them, she had seen the movement out of the corner of her eye. She needed to stay calm and try to keep Shane where he was while they came up with a plan.

"Why do you need me Shane?" She asked shocking him slightly before he covered it with a smirk.

"Oh Megan your nothing special don't worry, just a pawn in the game I'm playing."

"Oh really? So Loris your queen?" She mocked.

"Megan stop." Andrea hissed knowing it was winding him up.

Megan ignored her. "Why not take her Shane? Why me?"

"Because we use to have fun." He smiled. "Lots and lots of fun."

"No, you had fun, while I got my heart broke."

"Oh Meg, you gotta admit you enjoyed it."

She shrugged. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, you still used me, told me the stuff I wanted to here. Even though you had a string of other girls you were doing the same too."

"Wasn't my fault you loved me."

She snorted. "I wouldn't take it that far. You not as great as you think you are, especially not now, your just the idiot that does as the Governors says like a fucking lap dog, so lonely and delusion that you kidnap pregnant women to her to another pregnant women." She laughed. "And you two.." She said looking at the guards. "Your taking orders from a guy that would kill you in a heart beat, I notice he doesn't have big weapons like you. That's because he will go and hide away why you two do the fighting and neither of you will come out of it alive."

The guards said nothing.

"Oh and how are you going to fight the three off us?" Shane asked chuckling. "Two weak women with no weapons."

Megan laughed. "Just two weak women? Your wrong Shane."

He as about to reply when the two guards dropped to the floor their throats slit.

Shane's eyes widened when Daryl stood in front of him with his crossbow pointed at his head. Merle came up behind him and pressed his knife that was attached to his stump against his neck.

"I'd happily be the one to kill you Shane but I think I'll leave that this lot." She said as Rick came out of the shadows with his gun raised.

As I said before I love Andrea in the comics and the show, I hated that she was killed off on the show and that's why I'm keeping her in my story. She ain't going anywhere! SO if you don't like it don't read!

I know there has been a lot off changes but all I have done really is cut out the first half of the governors attack if that makes sense.

The group will find the prison eventually and maybe the governor will return again but then again maybe not depends how the story goes, maybe I will introduce other threats earlier than in the show to drive them out of the prison. Anyway still a long way from that so don't be all whiny if you don't like where I'm taking this story.

So Megan and Daryl have been reunited in a sense but first we have to kick some ass.

Who do you want to be the one to actually kill Shane that's if you even want him to die yet?

I know I said a while ago that Shane being Judith's father for sure was for a reason but I changed my mind and then all this happened so I wouldn't mind killing him off now but I wanted to see what you all think.

Anyway I hope you liked this chapter.

Thank you for reading.

Frankie.
