Chapter 29: Well. that was shocking


I take out a key and open the slammer up, then motion for Thomas to enter. "There's only a chair in there and nothin' at all for ya to do. Enjoy yourself."

Thomas groans as he steps inside.

"Have fun," I say before closing the door. "Nice reward for breakin' the rules. You saved some lives, Tommy, but ya still need to learn-"

"Yeah, I know. Order."

I smile. "You're not half bad, shank. But friends or no, gotta run things properly, keep us buggers alive. Think about that while ya sit here and stare at the bloody walls." I walk off leaving Thomas alone in the Slammer.

×°×

The rest of the day is a blur of randomness. Thomas spends the night in the slammer and wakes up the next day and Minho takes him out into the maze.

"Be safe." I tell the boys before they run into the maze.

"We will." Thomas says. "Bye!"

The two boys run into the maze. I watch for a bit then turn on my heel back to the Glade.

"We should probably start arranging for your mom's funeral.." I tell Valley.

She looks up at me with her big brown eyes.

"Yeah.." I say. "But first you need a check up. I carry her to the med-hut. "We're here for Valleys check up."

"Great." Jeff says he gently takes Valley from me and lays her on the bed. He grabs his stethoscope, needles and some other medical stuff.

"Hold the bloody hell up, what do you have needles?"

"The box sent up some needles for her." Jeff says. "They came in a box that said 'for the baby'"

"What are they supposed to do?" I ask.

"Their probably just some vaccinations to keep her save ya know?" Jeff says.

"No I don't know." I snap. "How do I know this won't kill her?"

"You don't.." Jeff mumbles. "But trust me!"

"How can I?!" I yell.

"I mean I'm not dead!" Jeff yells.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I took a bit from each bottle and put it in myself to make sure it wasn't going to kill her!" Jeff says.

"..Why didn't you start with that..?" I ask. "Wait how long ago did you try it?"

He thinks for a moment." We got them a day after Vivian's Braxtons Hicks and I tried it that same day so.. About maybe two weeks."

"Oh.. ok.. So we're positive it won't kill her?"

"Yes." He says.

"Ok." I say. I sit down on the chair beside the bed.

Jeff gets the needles set up and ready. I sit in the chair waiting. "Do you need me to do anything?" I ask.

"Maybe hold Valley still." Jeff says. I pick Valley up and place her on my lap gently holding her still.

Jeff grabs the first needle." 3..2..1.." he plunges the first needle in. Valley flinches and starts to cry.

"Quick do the rest!" I shout. Jeff quickly does the other two. I stand up and rock Valley. After awhile she stops crying and falls asleep.

"Thank goodness she's asleep." Jeff says. "That will make things a lot easier."

"Easier how..?" I ask.

"She won't be allowed wiggly while I'm trying to work." Jeff replys. "I'm going to use the stethoscope now."

He pulls it in his ears and pulls a bit of Valleys shirt down and places the stethoscope down. He moves it around for a bit then takes it off. "She's breathing fine and her heart sound good. It's honestly shocking how healthy she is considering what Vivian went through while pregnant."

I look down at Valley. "I guess so. I'm glad she's healthy."

"Yeah." Jeff says. "I don't know how we're going to raise her though."

"Neither do I." I admit. "I'm honestly just winging it and hoping I do well."

"Well she's alive so I think your doing good." Jeff says.

"I guess so yeah." I say. "Is there anything else you need to do?"

"Nope your free to go." Jeff says. "Remember when we thought Valley was two babys?"

"Yeah." I smile. "Really she's just really wiggly.."

I smile at the memory of Vivian telling me she could be having twins. I fight off the tears threatening to fall. "I'm going to go now."

"Ok." Jeff says as I walk out of the med-hut back to my bedroom. I lay Valley down in the makeshift crib and eventually she falls asleep. I start to clean the room. I pick almost everything off up the floor and place it on the shelf nicely not throwing anything out. I'm digging through a box of clutter when I find something.

"What is this..?" I mumble grabbing a notebook out of the bottom of the box.

I know it's wrong to look through Vivians stuff but I can't help it and open it up anyway.

Newt doesn't believe me but I've been having memories but I feel I have.

I read the rest. It's very specific detail of her memorys.

Another page had baby names

Names I could name my baby

Girl
Valley- where me and Newt Met
Lizzie- the name of Newt's sister
Katniss- kinda cute named after the book character I read about.
Boys
Yeah I got none

By the end of it I'm sobbing. "I believe you know Vi.. I do.. I'm sorry.. I'm so so sorry."

Valley wakes up to the sudden sound of me crying. I pick her up and rock her as we both cry ugly tears.

"I'm sorry Vivian. I'm sorry Valley.. I'm sorry I wasn't enough.."


"How the shuck did you make a wrong turn?" I ask huffing while running alongside Minho.The beeping Griever heart in my bag making me a bit slower.

"I don't know now shut the shu-what the shuck is that..?" He stops running abruptly and points to what looks like dead body at the end of the corridor.

"Is that.." I start following his point.

"It can't be.." Minho starts running again straight towards it I quickly follow. "It is.."

There right in front of us was a body surrounded in a pool of blood. But not just any body. It was Vivian.
