A Promise-Carl Grimes x reader

f*ck this guy

The group left and came back within two days, Carl and I both agreed to not acknowledge what happened and to just keep quiet.

Days had gone by, they all started to blur together, it was the same cycle.

Wake up, do your job, eat dinner, sleep, repeat.

Some days it changed, like having to deal with a death, and someone getting hurt, we lost Denise and our only doctor.

"hey, Y/n we need a doctor and I know your pretty good at doctor things" Glenn caught me right after I came back from patrol and I shook my head "I don't want anymore lives in my hands" I smiled and he stopped me.

"can I talk to you?" he asked and I nodded.

"I want you to know that no matter what you will always be my little sister, and no matter what I will always be right here for you, I'm not going anywhere" he hugged me softly and I nodded "I'll always be here if you need me Glenn, and I promise I will lay down my only jacket if it means you don't step in the puddle, you've been there for me since the beginning when I needed you most" I punched his arm lightly and he laughed.

"Promise that if anything happens to me, you'll be there for Maggie, you'll be there for the baby" he looked down and I stopped walking hitting his arm a little harder "your kidding" I laughed and he shook his head "your going to be the best aunt the world has ever seen, I know it" he smiled and I hugged him "this is huge, I mean huge, I'm going to be an aunt, your going to be a dad" I spun him around and he laughed.

Hours later

A lot of people had left, apparently Carol was missing.

I had a bed feeling in my stomach, something was going to happen and we wouldn't be prepared for it.

"Y/n, you ok, you missed your watch?" Aaron asked and I nodded "I guess I lost track of time, I can take the next watch instead" I went to stand up but I got dizzy, and felt like I was going to pass out.

"I'm ok, don't worry, I'm fine" I smiled and Aaron nodded "I just want you to be ok, seriously is something wrong?" he asked and I shook my head.

The next day

I was putting Judith to sleep oblivious to Carl in the door way.

I was whistling to her, my dad used to whistle to put me to sleep quicker and it work, I watched as she closed her eyes and slowly let go of my finger.

I left the room closing the door softly, I took a deep breath and turned around.

I went to scream but his hand went over my mouth "you just got her to sleep, seems like she only sleeps if it's you getting her to" Carl moved his hand and I grabbed my bag, only for him to take it "your not coming with us, you need to stay back and protect this place" he pleaded and I shook my head "I promised I would be there for Maggie and the baby, I have to go with you guys" he handed me my bag back and we were on out way.

We made it to the RV and got inside, Carl and I were making sure Maggie would be ok, I was tasked with keeping her and the baby safe, that's what I was going to do.

Carl softly bumped my knee and I looked up at him "I'm ok" I assured and he held my hand softly, my leg stopped bouncing and I smiled at him "I still hate stuff like this" I smiled and he laughed lightly "I hope I still make it better" (callback to aftermaths and new starts).

Suddenly we were stopped, and it was a group of what I assume to be saviors, we raised our guns and hands.

They wanted to take our all the stuff we had, and kill one of us, Rick was trying to negotiate when the guy at the front smiled at me.
