Unchained *Angel Wing's Sequel*

Chapter Fifteen: Against All Odds

"Busy day?" I ask.

"Can't you tell by all my patients." He jokes gesturing to all the empty beds. "So how are you feeling."

"Horrible. I keep feeling sick to my stomach."

"Hm...I'm just wondering if you could be pregnant."

"Excuse me? No way. I can't have kids." I say brushing off even the slightest possibility.

"Well you said this sickness started before the concussion right."

"Yeah."

He hands me a pregnancy test.

"I already told you. I have a condition where I can't get pregnant. The doctor said it's like a 1 in a billion chance." I explain as I sit down so he can change my bandages. There is very little blood on it which is a good sign.

"If you say so." Saddiq says not pushing the subject.

I mean I couldn't be, the doctors said it's like a one in a million or billion chance. When Saddiq is not looking I slide the test in my pocket.

Better safe than sorry right? And hey, any chance to prove people wrong is a chance I'm willing to take. I'm one of those 'I told you so' people.

"Any word from Michonne yet?" Saddiq asks

"No and I'm starting to worry. I also would like to talk to Rosita but I should at least wait for Michonne to be back. Seems like half the people in charge here are missing."

"I'm sure they are fine. It wasn't just around the corner you know. Plus maybe they decided to camp out for the night, it's safer to travel in the daylight... you know that."

"You're probably right. I'm probably just overthinking it. But I'm telling you Saddiq Rosita is right, those weren't normal biters."

"Kendall you hit your head, really hard. You were probably so overwhelmed with stress and panic and you probably hallucinated it."

I know he is probably right but it seemed so real, too real. But then again I was hearing voices on my radio too.

"Well I better get going. Thanks for the talk."

I walk to my house and lock the door behind me stepping up the stairs to the bathroom. I pull out the little test.

"Better safe than sorry." I repeat to myself.

After using the test I sit and wait for what feels like ages.

I mean I can't be pregnant. I've been sexually active for years, suddenly I'm pushing thirty and now there is a chance? And it's not like I've been screwing anyone lately, I mean not really, just Negan like twice.

I see something appear as I gingerly take the test in my hand as if it is glass. I look down and nearly have a heart attack at what I see

                                         (+)

I begin to have a nervous breakdown. I can't be having a baby, let alone Negan's.

Well this is the apocalypse, I guess anything is possible.

Shit. I'm going to be looked so far down upon and I just built my way up. Rick is probably rolling in his grave. The only people who would be supportive are Carl and Judith. But one of the two aren't here and the other is too young to understand the problem at hand.

I've never felt so alone. I'm going to be outcasted just when I finally got back in if I don't rid of this baby. It'd be wrong to bring them into this world. But I can't just get rid of them. This baby is apart of me. I can't be very far along only a month at most.

God what would Negan even say. Would he be angry and force me to rid of the baby or would he be ecstatic? He's so unpredictable my head begins to pound.

I need to find Negan, I need to tell him. I put a cover over the test and slip it into a plastic baggie before putting it into my pocket. I don't want anyone finding this.

But then I remember Michonne. It was a far ride out to where they were so Saddiq is probably right they probably won't be back until tomorrow.

Maybe I could find Negan and convince him to come back.

'No Kendall, that's a stupid idea why would he come back just to rot in a cell when he's had his first taste of freedom in almost eight years?' I argue to myself

I sigh as I grab my gun and slip it in my holster. I go to the garage near the gates and see a community car, basically a car we all share. I would take Spades but I can't risk another head injury.

I get in the car starting it up and head towards the gates. I thank the heavens that Jim is on watch.

"Going somewhere Kendall?"

"Just for a bit of a drive, gotta get my head straight."

"You sure you should be driving with that head injury?"

"I'll be alright, figure it's better then that damn horse that caused it." I laugh slightly as he does too.

"Don't be gone too long, you're the only one running things here."

"I know, now come on I'm burning fuel!" I laugh as he opens the gates allowing me through.

Once I'm down the road I let out a sigh of relief. By taking the car it'll cut the time in half it'll take to get there and back.

After driving for what feels like decades I pull up to the ghost-town of a building. It's quiet, eerily quiet. How did Negan even get back here, had he walked the entire way? Had I beat him here? Maybe he stole one of our vehicles.

I step foot out of the vehicle and I hear the sound of an animal huffing. I follow the noise to find Spades tied up to a pole. Asshole robbed my horse.

I give Spades a pat on the head happy he is safe.

I walk down the cement path and see burnt skeletons laying on the ground, what the hell happened to this place?
