Chapter 22
I sat in the back, one hand on Lilah's car seat and the other on my gun. while I was looking out the window, I could feel T-dog's eyes boring into the side of my face from the front seat. I sighed, turning away from the placing scenery.
"T, it isn't polite to stare at someone." I said, locking eyes with him.
He blushed, turning away from me. "Sorry." He mumbled.
I chuckled. "It is alright, T."
Glenn grunted, slowly turning into driveway of the Greene farm. He stopped once he noticed that the gate was closed. He looked back at me, silently asking me what to do. I sighed, opening my door and jumping out. I jogged around the car to the gate, glancing around to make sure that nothing was going to jump out at me. With one hand, I unlatched the gate and with the other, I slipped my gun into my waistband. I pushed the gate up and signaled for Glenn to drive through.
They stopped just inside the gate, waiting for me to shut the gate and get back into the car. Quickly relatching the gate, I rushed back to the car. Once the door was shut, Glenn took off down the gravel road. I ran a hand through my hair as Lilah made a grumbling noise. I looked down at her and smiled as she blew some slumber bubbles. Damn, she is so cute. I thought. I looked away from her as we pulled up to the house. I noticed Maggie standing on the porch, tan hands resting on her curvaceous hips.
She skipped down the steps as Glenn brought the car to a stop. Maggie opened my door as Glenn was throwing the car in park. "IVY!" She yelled, pulling me into a hug. I laughed at T and Glenn's shocked faces.
"Mags, let me out of the car." I laughed.
She nodded, backing away from me. "Sorry, Cousin." I shook my head, grabbing Lilah's carrier. She looked from the carrier to me, "you had a baby?"
I chuckled. "No, someone saw us on the highway and left her for us. The mother had gotten bitten and wanted to give her child a fighting chance."
Maggie wrapped her arms around me again. "You have such a big heart, Eevee."
T and Glenn looked at each other, "Eevee?"
I groaned. "Magpie, why'd you have to bring up that nickname?"
She giggled. "I couldn't help myself, Cuz."
"So, are you going to tell us why she calls you Eevee?" T-dog asks, taking Lilah's carrier from me as we walked up the path.
I sigh. "My favorite pokemon was Eevee. Annette had gotten me a Eevee plushie for Christmas one year and I refused to share it with anyone."
"For weeks after my sister died, little Ivy would only answer to the name Eevee." A deep southern voice said from the porch swing. I looked over and saw Uncle Hershel standing there.
I rushed forward, taking him in my arms. "Uncle Hersh." I whispered.
He cupped the back of my head. "Ivy. I am glad that you and your sister are safe. I prayed that you didn't fall ill."
My brows furrowed, "Ill? You think that these people are ill?"

Hey, friends
It has been a long time. like a really long time. I know I am an awful person for not writing more chapters after I said that I would, but I have a valid excuse.
I am taking 16 credit hours and I am working full-ish time at my job.
Plus! I did start seeing someone.
I know that this was a super short chapter, but I didn't know what else to do. I wanted to get you guys a new chapter before my break ended and I have to back to focusing on finals until winter break. I might get a couple of chapters in during winter break, depending if my boyfriend is still working on his Thesis or not.
How are you guys? Anything new in your life? Thank you for following, favoriting, and reviewing this story. Please review for another chapter. I really need some motivation.
Love yall!
