Rick and Michonne stood near Carl and Enid as everyone went to congratulate them, giving them tight hugs and kisses on their cheeks and forehead.
The last one to come up to them was Maggie. Although she already knew of the pregnancy for a while, she still felt the need to congratulate them.

"I'm so proud of you two. You've stayed strong through this struggle so far," Maggie said, Rick and Michonne nodded.

"Thank you Maggie. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you, really, I wouldn't." Enid said with a smile; and Maggie returned the smile.

"I'm here to help you every step of the way, Enid. Remember that. Always." Maggie said, then kissed Enid's forehead.

"Forever." Enid nodded with a smile. "And even more after that."

"Are you ever in the mood to kill? Because I sure as hell am!"

Everyone turned their heads, and standing at the opened gates of the Hilltop was Negan. Carl and Enid were standing beside each other, it was about two months later, and Enid's baby bump was noticeable.
Negan looked all around, everyone was outside, no person was inside and they knew they were all at risk.

Carl gripped onto Enid's hand in fear, he held it tightly.

"I will never let go," Carl whispered to her. "You will never let go either. No matter who dies here, we will stay strong."

"What if it's me? I can't loose this baby. I don't want to be taken from you. What if it's you? This baby can't handle this world without a father figure."

"Enid, hold my hand." Carl said.

Enid's grip tightened.

"Forever. Hold my hand forever." Carl whispered.

"Forever and always." Enid nodded as Negan gave a sly smile to everyone.

Negan had twenty seven men with him, them all armed with guns and knifes and whatever they could use to kill.

"You're doing your job, getting me what I need and all," Negan told Rick, who came beside him to argue. "But your still in debt. You've been for a long," he emphasized on that word. "time. And I'm tired of waiting." He pointing to two men, then pointed to the whole group. "Two of them. Kill two of them."

Carl's hand gripped tightly onto Enid's. Tears formed in Enid's eyes.

It went by quick. There were two aimed guns and shots and screams. That was all. When the shooting ended, all Negan's group did was walk away. Without a goodbye, an explanation, a demand, they just walked away. Enid and Carl closed their eyes; holding onto each other. A big hug. In a big, large, hug.

Their eyes opened, full of shock and thrill. They weren't dead; they weren't shot. They smiled at each other, leaning in and having a big tongue swirling kiss; they hadn't had one in a while and it made them pepped up.
They turned, and the shocking news broke them.

Michonne.

Maggie.

Gone.

Carl ran to Michonne, and Enid ran to Maggie.

Enid grabbed onto Maggie, she felt burning tears when she saw the shot in the chest. Blood poured down Maggie's soft, pale skin. And Maggie's eyes were staring up at Enid.

"E.... Enid, Enid..." Maggie whispered, and Enid held onto Maggie's cheeks.

"Maggie! Maggie, please! Stay with me, Maggie! I need you.... please..... please...." Enid cried.

"Enid, I will find you...." she whispered, and soon the breath was gone. Maggie's breath was gone. Enid fell onto Maggie's stomach, crying and praying she was in Heaven with Glenn and their baby.
Enid couldn't stand up, she just sat and cried for what seemed like hours and hours. She was shocked; one of the only people who actually cared for her was gone. Never to return. Forever.

"Forever...." Enid whispered into Maggie's ear, though she knew she couldn't hear her.

This was one of the saddest things I've ever had to write. Maggie is my child and if she ever dies in the show I don't know what I would do. Not sure, I just feel like we really need this. It'll form character development hopefully. But it'll take a while to get over this. Will she ever get over this?
