I woke up in a happy mood. Stupid hormones. Tara was right, I went to talk to Carl and we came to an agreement that he wouldnt hang out with Enid as much. As I walked down stairs I see Daryl looking around the kitchen trying to find food. I bump into Maggie and she looks shocked.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't hurt-"

"Maggie, you bumped into me, not kick my stomach" I say and she looks relieved making me laugh. "Morning by the way" I walk down stairs and put my boots on.

"Morning" Daryl says noticing me, I look up from tying my laces and smile.

"Hey Dad-I mean, Daryl" I say shocking myself "sorry" and he shakes his head making me have a small panic attack, we've gotten closer and I didn't want to ruin it.

"It's okay" he says with a small smile before grabbing an apple from the counter. "Where you going?"

"Next door" I say as I walk away, I exit from the back door since it was a shorter walk, I walk into the backyard and open the door to see Carol and Sam baking cookies making my mouth water.

"I'm not interrupting am I?" I ask and Carol smiled at me.

"Y/n! Hey!" Sam says running up to me, he hugged my stomach and I giggled.

"No, not at all" she says and I smile. "I see that look, take as much" I laugh then grab a cookie. "Carl is upstairs" I nod then make my way up the stairs getting out of breath at the last step, I walk down the hall and open the door. I see Enid and Carl close, they where inches apart. His hand on hers. They looked happy together, as if they didn't have a care in the world.

"Y/n!" I hear him call as he notices me, I turn around and walk away "it's not what it looks like" my cheeks burn and I turn around scoffing.

"Really?! Cause it sure did look like something"

"Y/n" I ignore him until he grabs my wrist, I turn around and glare at him.

"Y/n, of course I love you and our unborn child" he says. "y/n I would never do that too you" I feel tears fall down my face and I quickly wipe it way before pulling him into a hug.

"Y/n" we hear somebody say, Carl's body tenses up as he turns around.

"I told you to stay away from her!" Carl says going towards him and I try to pull him but have no luck.

"I don't have to listen to you Grimes!" He says pushing Carl out of his face.

"Boys stop!" I say as Carl pushed him back.

"Yes you do!" Carl says, Ron pushed once more.

"Why? She's going to need a friend to cry too when she finds out!" Ron says.

"When I find out what?" I ask but nobody anwsered, Ron pushed Carl harder than the last making Carl fall, I watch as Carl got up and made the first physical contact. My eyes widen as the two began fighting. I run inside to get Glenn and Abraham.

"R-ron and C-Carl!" I say in between breaths, they get up and run outside breaking the two teenaged boys away from one another.

"You son of a bitch!" Ron yells as Glenn pulls him away from Carl.

"What the hell Carl?!" I say and he looks at me breathless.
"I can't believe you! It's like the prison all over again" he glares at me when the word prison comes out of my mouth bringing back the good and worst memories we had forgotten, he walks away and I look at Ron before rushing inside.
