"You're what?!" Carl asked, placing his hands on Enid's stomach.
Enid winced.
"You're having contractions?! Does that mean.... does that mean you're still pregnant? Is there a baby in there?!" Carl cried, and Enid nodded through gritted teeth.

"Please, get Maggie!" Enid said weakly, her heart pounding against her chest as Carl ran out the door quickly.

Enid sat in pain. It felt like early stages of pregnancy, the ways Maggie had explained it, and it hurt. Hurt badly. But soon, what felt like hours to Enid, Maggie rushed over to her and held her hand tightly.

"Enid? Enid, you're okay?" Maggie asked, her voice was calm and soothing but there was a tense hint in her voice.

"Maggie, how did you feel with contractions?" Enid asked.

"It felt like cramps, but a little worse. Why? Is that how you're feeling?" Maggie asked, her voice somehow getting excited.

"It's exactly how..." Enid said, and her own words surprised her. "Maggie, I'm having contractions!"

Even in deep pain, Enid managed to scream happily. "I'm pregnant! I'm still pregnant! But how? How did this happen?"

"You've got a survivor in there," Carl said, setting his hand on her stomach.

"We've got a survivor in there." Enid said with a soft, flirty smile. Carl returned it.

Carl and Enid walked side by side, Enid's hand over Carl's shoulder tightly. They walked out of the house, and for once in a while the sun blinded Enid. She chuckled.

"You know, we can tell them now. Since we really know," Carl said with a smile.

"Tell them what?" Enid teased happily.

"About the baby," Carl whispered into Enid's ear, sending tingles down her spine.

"How?" Enid asked, her joyful spirit lowering. She was afraid to tell everyone else, afraid of his they'd react.

"Enid, relax." Carl said, clutching onto Enid's other hand tightly. "They'll be happy for us."

"But what will they say about another baby?! I mean, we already have Judith, and Maggie's having a baby." Enid said, worry filling her voice.

"And so are you." Carl said with a soft whisper, helping her sit down on the bench near one of the houses.

Enid lay her head on his shoulder carefully, making sure not to hurt him. "Yeah, but..... I don't want to loose you. Not how Maggie lost Glenn...." Enid whispered, she really didn't want Carl to end up like Glenn, anyone for that matter. She felt bad for Glenn.

"I don't want you to go through what my mom did," Carl said, grief filling his eyes but his voice stayed positive. "But... we can only hope for the best. Right Enid?"

Enid paused, there was only a few seconds before she spoke again. This time, her voice was calm and a smile was spread across her cheeks. "Right."

*******

Everyone had there eyes on the boyfriend and girlfriend, everyone's eyes were curious except Maggie's, who just nodded happily, encouraging them on.
Everyone was in the large building having a small dinner, talking amongst each other until Carl spoke up.

"We have an announcement," he said. Enid stood with him.

"I'm having a baby." Enid said, letting it all out. She just wanted this burden to rise off of her shoulders, and sure enough it did. But now a large burden rose on Rick.

Everyone stayed silent, watching them curiously, some eyes were filled with tears and some anger.

"A baby?" A voice whispered among the crowd, and all heads were turned to Rick. "Enid, you're pregnant?"

"Yes." Enid said. Carl nodded and held her sweaty hand.

"Carl, you're the father?" Michonne asked. She didn't seem to be angry, she seemed rather surprised and thrilled.

"Yeah. Yeah I am." Carl said slowly, shooting small smiles to Enid.

Rick stood from the table, he scooted his chair out. Michonne, who was sitting beside him, clutched his hand and they walked up to the pair.
Rick had tears in his eyes as he hugged Carl, it was a tight grasp that they both never wanted to let go from. Rick's tears were covered by Carl's shirt. Michonne kissed Carl's forehead.
Rick went over to Enid, his eyes were filled with concern, fear, and happiness.

"You're okay?" He asked her, remarking the question he asked Maggie when they arrived at Hilltop.

"I'm okay." Enid whispered as she was pulled into a tight hug from Rick.

I really needed this chapter. I wanted them to tell everyone, though, I wasn't sure how I wanted everyone to react. It may seem a bit out of character, but for Glenn's sake, (😭💗) Rick's son has a pregnant girlfriend! I mean really! XD Anyway I hope you enjoyed, please vote and comment❣️
