i sat against the wall of the cafeteria consumed in my thoughts. I watched as Carl paced back in forth infront of me. Glenn, carol and the others were sitting on the tables and Merle was leanin against the wall. We were all waiting for one thing, to hear her fate. I tried to fight the images of her ending up like Lori, but I couldn't. That's all I could see and I wasn't the only one. Worry also filled the eyes of everyone in the room, but more in Merle's, Carl's , and my own. I tried to slow my breathing as Carl paced faster,

"it shouldn't be taking this long"

"things like this can take time." I heard merle say from behind me.

carl stopped pacing and walked up to us,"we should be in there, not out here!"

"Carl" I said.

he looked at me trying to fight the tears in his eyes. It had been taking a while and that scared me to death, but I couldn't let my son see it.

"What dad! It's taking too long! She could be dead!" He cried.

"She's not. Herschel would've came and got us if something happened. " I said.

he was about argue back when we heard footsteps enter the room behind us. Everyone looked up to see Maggie and Herschel. Carl immediately ran up to them,

"is she ok?"

herschel smiled and Maggie laughed,

"she's fine."

"So everything went smoothly?" I asked.

herschel looked to me," yes. Something did happen that surprised us though, but it's all ok and she's fine."

"and the baby?" Merle asked.

herschel and Maggie both smiled at each other, "healthy"

"can we see her?" Carl asked.

herschel nodded," she's been asking for you."

carl smiled and ran up the stairs,Merle and I quickly ran after him giving Herschel a smile on the way. We made it to outside her cell and Carl stopped. He looked nervous.

"Hey" I said.

He looked up to me and I asked," what's wrong?"

"what if I'm not a good uncle? What if the baby doesn't like me?"

i chuckled,"you have nothing to worry about. The baby will love you just like Judith does. You'll be a great uncle Carl. Come on your only competition is Merle."

Carl laughed and merle yelled," hey now!"

I ruffled my sons hair and we walked into the cell.

daryl and I were so consumed with our kids, we didn't even hear anyone come in until someone said,

"well shit"

we both looked up to see Merle and not even a second later, Carl and Rick entered. Their eyes widened when they saw daryl and I both had babies in our arms.

"wasn't y'all only supposed to have one?" Merle mocked.

"ya know me merle, I don't follow the rules." I smirked.

"that ya don't little sis. That ya don't." He smirked.

i looked over to Carl who was hesitantly waiting by his dads side. He looked nervous. I smiled at him,

"Carl?"

His eyes popped up from the babies to me. I chuckled,

"come meet your niece and nephew."
