Chapter 7

-

"What is Shane like now?" Carl asked, walking into my cell.

"The usual." I replied.

"He's still mean?" He asked.

"No, he's like the old Shane." I answered.

-

My heart jumped into my throat, walkers coming from around the prison thanks to the loud alarm going off.

I ran ahead of Rick, Daryl, and Glenn, trying to reach everybody.

I helped Beth and Hershel up the steps and closed the gate before turning and killing the walkers coming at me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Lori, Maggie, and Carl run inside.

I quickly followed since I had a gun.

We all ran in the boiler room, Lori having labor pains.

"We gotta get her back to Hershel!" Carl exclaimed.

"No. I'm having this baby right here." Lori replied.

Lori screamed out in pain, holding on to some kind of chain.

"Okay, okay. Lay down." Maggie ordered.

-

I held one of Lori's hands while Carl held the other.

A tear streamed down my cheek, listening to what Lori was telling Carl.

"Now, you remember the promise?" Lori asked, turning her head to look at me.

"Yes." I replied, more tears pooling around my eyes.

I watched as Lori ordered Maggie to glide the knife over Lori's c-section scar from Carl.

I watched as Maggie took a deep breath before following the scar line with the knife.

After seeing Carl cry over his mom, I crawled down to where Maggie was, seeing if I could help.

"I see the head." She declared, gently pulling the baby out.

"It's a girl." I cried, watching Maggie flip the baby and pat it's back.

"Something's not right." She stated, patting the baby's back.

We sighed, the baby girl filling the room with cries.

Maggie cradled the baby, and Carl stood up.

"Let me do it. I want to do it." Carl stated, holding the pistol.

I turned away, hearing the gunshot.

-

I sat down on the bed, tears streaming down my cheeks.

I just lost my best friend, and we can't find Carol or T-Dog.

Yeah, Lori and I didn't have the most perfect relationship, but at the end of the day we were still best friends and she was always there for me.

I took a deep breath, trying to control my emotions.

I couldn't imagine how Rick felt, or Carl.

-

For the first time, I held the baby girl in my arms.

She's so beautiful, and you can already tell she's a happy baby.

"Little Ass Kicker." Daryl stated, causing everyone to laugh.

"She's beautiful." I stated, looking into her gorgeous blue eyes.
