A Promise-Carl Grimes x reader

family

The streets were packed with booths and things to do, Carl had his hand in mine as Judith ran ahead, "im going to get something to drink, you coming?" Carl asked and I shook my head walking over to a bench "is this seat taken?" a man asked from behind and I shook my head "shouldn't you be practicing a speech?" I asked and Sebastian laughed "I know that thing by heart," he turned more to face me and I looked at him with a playful smile "I wanted to say thank you for giving me a chance, I thanked your dad and Carol, but I really wanted to thank you" he put his hand out for me to shake and I took it "my name is Y/n, by the way" I smiled more seriously than the last time and he nodded his head slowly "wow! Gorgeous name, really you dad did amazing" he looked out at all the people and I laughed "actually, my mom named me, its kind of the only thing I have left to remember her with" I looked down and he grabbed my hand softly "I understand what you mean, my dad named me but he passed when I was young, sometimes I think that's why I'm such a little shit to my mom, it's because I miss him" I brought him into a hug and he hugged me back softly "I have to go but its good to know I have someone like me" he smiled and I nodded "have fun" I let out a long heavy sigh as he left, I let my shoulders slouch as I leaded back "where is she?" Daryl asked and I shrugged "who is she exactly?" I asked and he crossed his arms "Dad, sit" I huffed and he sat "she's with her big brother, she is ok" I huffed and he crossed his arms "why do you want me to sit" he asked and I smiled "because I have not a clue on how to raise a scallywag, and you did great with me, your doing great with Judith and RJ, Jude told me herself before she left to the church" I rested a hand on my stomach and he smiled "no way!" he exclaimed and I smiled hugging him "yeah" I laughed and he rested a hand on my stomach. He left to the church and carl came over "did Sebastian bother you?" he asked an I shook my head "something else is," I took his hands into mine and he tilted his head slightly "I want you to know tat mercer offered me a job higher up in his ranks, so I don't have to do any heavy stuff, id really only have to train people" I smiled and he hugged me "that's huge! But the baby" he huffed, and I smiled "I took the job, he said I can start before or after the baby, and he is going to really try to get me in a position in a place like Pamala up in an office if I want it" I smiled and he kissed me softly "you told him about the job?" Carol asked and I nodded "told you he would be happy" Judith smiled, and we walked further into the crowd.

The main event was going to begin soon so Carl and I took spot so we could be near Judith and Daryl, Pamala and Sebastian took the ring and before his speech he winked at me I smiled and after his speech the PA system started to play something he said, the crowd started to get rowdy and all of us got separated walkers were in the walls and I found Judith a walker set its sights on her and I raised ricks gun shooting it "where did you get that?" she asked and I smiled "stole it off Daryl, you take it in case you get separated from me again" I crouched to her level and she took the gun, Daryl found us and handed me one of his knives "we do this together, the three of us, ok?" he asked and we both nodded, a group crowded around Sebastian as he was bit and Judith shot the walker too late, and everyone gasped as he choked on his blood. Carl found us and I lowered myself down to Judith "its ok, we need to get out of here now" I picked her up handing the gun to Daryl and we ran inside of a store unnoticed, Daryl found Eugene and pulled him inside. I was brought into the station for questioning and I refused to go in the room "I'm not doing this without my husband, no way in hell will I do it without him" I scoffed and Mercer let me go and I immediately went home to pack.

I tried to stay awake, but I was tired after packing, my feet hurt, and I was ready to puke, I woke up to hands pulling me off the couch, I tried to kick, punch, do anything but a bag was pulled over my head before I could see anything. I woke up and pulled a bag off my head groaning at the loud noise, we were on a bus of some kind and it sounded like there was shooting outside I heard Ezekiel asking if everyone was ok and I let out a pained gasp "we had to have been out for at least a day or two, I have a still bloody stab on my side" I placed my restrained hands to my side firmly and I looked over to see Negan and his wife, he sighed in relief at the sight of me being there and I smiled "where's Carl?" I started to panic at the absence of him "I'm sure he's ok," Negan raised his hands, and I shook my head "no, I cant loose him, not right now" I huffed pulling the restraints with my teeth "and you won't, but he may loose you if you don't play this smart" just then a trooper came on the bus, he pointed for people to move, and I was one along with Annie, Negan's new wife.

We were moved to the new outpost and for three weeks on end we worked on getting, after the third day I realized they had moved us to Alexandria, they hadn't fixed the small hole at the back of the wall meaning I still had a way out, they took me off work duty for a week, or until I could work again, and in that time I had reached my second month of pregnancy, one night I hit a wave of just sickness so I woke up to go to the bathroom, when I got back to my room I saw Negan being forced to his knees and I hurried downstairs and to the door running out, I pushed to the front of the crowd and that was a bad idea as guards grabbed Annie and I and forced both of us to the ground "No! do not bring them into this! You can't do this!" Negan yelled and I stood up "I'm not apart of this! I refuse to be treated like I am!" I yelled and the man stepped forward "knees" he demanded and I shook my head "no" I spat stepping in front of my dad and Annie "and I refuse to let you kill them" as I said that everyone joined me in protecting the two and I smiled thinking we had gotten somewhere "shoot all of them" he ordered and as their raised their guns my face fell and I laid a hand on my stomach, I took a deep breath awaiting the bullets and in the moment I could only think of the family I wouldn't have, I could only think about if Carl lost me would only have Judith and RJ, if they ever find the kids. As I braced myself for the shot it came but didn't hit us I looked up and Daryl was standing with Connie and Carl, I ran to them as fast as I could, carl lifted me and spun me around setting me down with a kiss "are you ok? Is the baby ok?" he asked and I nodded hugging Connie and Daryl as Rosita killed the man.

On our way to shower Carl held my hand softly "your two months now" he whispered and I smiled "its crazy to think about, 7 months until we get to meet the little guy" I whispered and Carl kissed my stomach "little Gal, by the way" he corrected and I laughed.
