*Adelyne*

We brought all the others from Woodbury back to the prison. Seeing as Woodbury had no leader these people needed somewhere to go. More people meant more power. I was leaning against the wall and I seen Carl sitting on one of the tables with his head down. I pushed off the wall and weaved my way through people moving and walked over to him. He had been acting strange ever since the incident in the woods. I stopped a few feet away took a deep breath and walked all the way up. I stood in front of him and he didn't even look at me. I crouched down to him at eye level.

"Hey can I talk to you?" I asked.

Carl looked at me his hardned expression on his face not softening.

"Whatever."

"Carl are you okay?" I asked softly.

He looked at me once more.

"Am I okay? What do you think Adelyne?!"

I pointed my finger at him.

"You do not get to talk to me like that you hear me? I'm trying to look out for you protect you-"

Carl shot to his feet.

"I don't need your protection I thought I made it pretty clear over time" he explained.

I sighed and hung my head for a second.

"I know you're strong Carl but I care about you I always will" I explained.

"Yeah...good for you."

He walked away from me. I stood up and sighed shocked. Carl never talks to me like that. We're buddies,  we talk, he was my younger brother. I walked back into the prison no sign of Daryl or Rick so I kept walking in the  cell block. I seen Mary writing in her little notebook. I leaned against her cell frame.

"Whats up gorgeous?" I asked.

She looked up.

"Hey Sis, what's up?"

I pushed my hair out of my face.

"Nothing, how do you feel about all this?" I asked.

Mary shrugged.

"It's the right thing to do. I'll tell you Ive never seen this many people in one place since before the world went to hell" She said.

I nodded.

"Yeah, so where's my neice and nephew?" I asked.

"Nathan and the kids are helping the others from Woodbury. I wanted go stay here. What are you doing?"

I shoved my hands in the pockets of my jeans.

"Well I was talking to Carl but he didn't want to talk to me. Now I'm not sure, I'll find something to do, but listen about-"

"Adelyne can you come here please?" came Ricks voice.

I looked to see him down by the end of the cell block. I told my sister I'd talk to her later. And walked over to him.

"Hey Dad, what's up?"

Rick cleared his throat.

"I wanted to talk to you about something. It's been in the back of my mind ever since we left Woodbury" he explained.

I nodded and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Okay, what?"

Rick took a deep breath.

"When we were in the room with  Andrea. She uh she told you to take care of the little one, did mean Judith?  You already help so much. That's what she meant right?"

My nerves tingled. Was he toying with me?

"Where's Daryl?" I quickly asked.

"We aren't talking about Daryl. Thats what she meant right?" He asked again but more stern.

I looked into his eyes they were serious and I started to feel sick.

"Um..well not exactly" I explained.

Rick took a step closer to me.

"Not exactly. Adelyne Marie what did she mean?"

I took a deep breath and bit my lip.

"She meant my baby. Take care of my baby" I blurted out.

I watched Rick face go into shock but he didn't say anything.

"Dad, I'm pregnant."

For a second nothing was said and then Rick stormed away. Carol popped out of her cell.

"You're having a baby?"

I looked at her and then back to the prison door which was already closing. I sighed and ran to the door.
Glenn, Maggie, Sasha, and Daryl where all sittin at one of the tables. I heard my name be called but that wasn't my main concern at the moment. I had to get  to Rick. I pushed out the prison door.

"Dad!"

I ran after him as he walked down the gravel.

"Dad please stop" I begged.

He stopped dead in his tracks halfway down to the gate and I slowed to a walk and stopped a few feet behind him.

"Dad are we going to talk about this?" I asked.

Thats when he turned and walked toward me. But instead of being scared I held my ground and looked up into his piercing eyes.

"Adelyne your mother died in childbirth. Your mother!"

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Yeah I know that! Incase you don't remember I was there. I delivered Judith Dad. I wrapped her up in Carls shirt while Lori lay dead on the ground. Don't even throw that back at me!" I screamed.

Rick sighed trying to calm down but it wasnt working.

"Was this Daryls idea? I swear Adelyne if-"

"No Dad. This wasn't anyones idea it just happened. It wasn't planned nothing" I explained.

Rick came up and grabbed both my shoulders and shook me a little.

"You could die, do you understand that? Look what happened with your mom" Rick explained.

I seen the hurt and fear in his eyes and it ripped me to the core.

"Yes, but Mom needed a C-section just like with Carl and we didn't have Herhel. I didn't need a C-section with Katie. I will be fine" I told him.

Rick shook his head.

"You don't know that Al"

I sighed.

"Dad-"

"No no just- I have to go" Rick stuttered walking past me the way the came.

I turned.

"Where are you going?"

"To make sure everything is okay."

I ran and grabbed his arm making him turn towards me.

"Hey...are we good?"

Rick looked at me his expression unreadable. He took a moment before he answered.

"Yeah, we're fine. I got to go."

He walked away and I watched him go. He dissapeared out of sight and thats when I noticed Daryl up by the gate. I couldn't read his expression but I started walking towards him. What am I going to do?
