I woke up to a flash in my pupil, I blinked and saw Rosita rechecking my pupils. I sat up and saw Tara still unconscious, I ran a hand through my hair and remembered.

"The baby is okay" she assured and I nod then saw the new medication next to me, I shook my head and got up. "Pete said you need to rest or else you could potentially have a miscarriage"

"Okay" I say before scooting off of the bed and walking back home. I watch at the concrete with every step I take. Everyone you know will die.

"Hey y/n" somebody says and I look up to see Ron, I give him a small smile then continue in my path until I reach the front steps, I enter and cry.

"What happened?" I heard Carol ask and I shake my head then slid down the door.

"Get up, I baked some cookies and we'll talk" she says and I do as I'm told I walk into the kitchen and sit on the counter grabbing a cookie.

"Noah is dead" I say looking down at the treat.

"Yeah, he is" she says and I nod, I take a bite.

"Carol I'm worried, I'm worried Carl might be loosing feelings for me, I'm scared he'll leave me and the baby for Enid"

"You two have been through hell together I doubt that he'll do something like that" she says and I take another cookie.

"Also because of all the stress I might loose the baby" she touches my knee and I feel the baby move.

"You won't, I know it" she says and I give a small smile.

"I think the baby likes the cookies" I say and she smiles then puts a hand on my stomach.

"I can't wait till she or he starts kicking" Carol says and I smile then look down at my very small bump.

"It's crazy, I always told myself that I wouldn't ever have a baby especially during the apocalypse but look what happened" I say rubbing my stomach, I felt her hand touch my shoulder.

"Things happen for a reason y/n" she says and I smile.

"Thanks for the cookies" I say then we hear a scream, I quickly get off the counter and rush outside. I see Jessie trying to pull her husband off of Rick until she gets hit in the face by Pete making my eyes widen. Rick gets back onto Pete and I rush towards them.

"Rick! Rick stop!" I say trying to pull him off of Pete but had no luck, I try to push him off again but ended up getting kicked in the stomach. I fall to the floor and look wide eyed at my stomach as I don't feel the fimiliar movement, Carl rushes to my side and I start panicking.

"Enough!" Deanna says running too the scene obviously out of breath.

"Carl! I-I don't feel it" I say "I can't feel the baby! The baby" and he just stares at me shocked, it becomes quiet as everybody stares quietly at us. "The baby isn't moving!" Carl snaps out of his daze and picks me up rushing to the clinic. I felt my eyes close but I forced myself to stay awake.

"Rosita! She's been kicked in the stomach!" Carl says as I'm placed down on the mattress, I hear shuffling then my shirt begins getting lifted up. I look around feeling my eyesight blur.
