Michonne's P.O.V

"I'm homeee!" Carl shouted as he slammed the front door behind him.

"Brobber!" Judith exclaimed, sliding off the couch and taking off toward her brother who held his arms out to her for a warm welcoming hug.

They held each other close, and Carl even spun her around. He's been gone a week and Judith has been miserable without his spoiling or constant teasing everyday.. and honestly, I have too.

He placed her down and she anxiously pulled at his leg. Carl began to take off his back pack and his shoes and then eventually joined me on the living room couch, where I sat, re-twisting my locks.

"I missed you." I smiled

"I missed you too." he sighed of relief

"How was it out there?"

He leaned back in the seat and stared off for while, thinking about what I asked while absentmindedly biting his lip.

"It was blood rushing, fun even."

"Blood rushing and fun? Is that it? You were gone for a week." I laughed

"Yeah I know.. But oh! I found dad something for father's day." He smiled, reaching deep into his coat pocket and pulling out a small black cassette tape.

"What is it?" I asked, confoundedly.

"Dolly Parton."

Ah, Rick loves him some good ole country music & I remember him telling me he loved Dolly since he was an itty bitty boy.

"He's gonna love it.. But, father's day is near?" I asked cluelessly

"It's in 2 days."

"Ah.." I nodded awkwardly. I can't believe I forgot when father's day is... I'm such a great mother and wife.. Wow.

"Where is he anyway?" Carl asked, stuffing the tape back into his pocket.

"He's over Abraham's."

"Oh, cool.. How are they? Abe, Sasha and G?" he asked

Last time I saw them was about 2 days ago, and they were all fine. All happy and joyous, not a care in the world -- enjoying family before it's too late.
But I haven't been over there since then, I haven't been anywhere. I just don't feel like getting up anymore.

"Good." I answered finally

He nodded and ran his hand over his face, "God, I'm so tired."

I stopped twisting my hair for a moment and stared at his pale face. Judith clung onto his arm so he was stuck in that position.

"Are you hungry, thirsty?" I asked,  worriedly.

"I could use some water."

I quickly hopped up to my son's request but I almost fell, I tried to catch my balance but my head spun and I couldn't catch my breath, I began to stumble but Carl didn't realize because his eyes were still closed..

And then I hit the floor. I felt like giving up, I was losing breath and everything in my stomach turned upside down.

"MOM!" Carl shouted, joining me by my side.

"Carl I'm gonna throw up." I mumured, gagging between words.

"Wait a sec."
He ran into the kitchen and grabbed the trashcan, ran back and placed it in front of me.

"Let it out." he said, whilst sitting me up and holding my locks in a ponytail so I wouldn't puke all over them. He's such a good boy.

Abruptly, everything I had eaten the past day pushed out my stomach and projectiled out my mouth.

And after I puked, I laid back against the floor and stared at Judith watching from afar.

"Michonne are you okay?" Carl asked, wiping the tear coming from my eye with his thumb.

"I don't know." I smiled

"Why are you smiling?" he asked, still worried as ever.

I smiled because... Maybe God's answering my prayers.

Maybe this is the beginning of a baby Grimes.

"Why would you throw up out of the blue like th----"
His eyes widened and he placed his hand over my stomach, cautiously.

"Michonne you're not!"

I smirked and shrugged my shoulders which caused him to break a smile that was ear to ear.

"We gotta get you to Dr. Carson, now."

"Yeah." I nodded

He help sit me up and I finally got back on my feet, able to stand and walk now.

"Come on baby." I smiled at Judith.

She hopped off the chair and ran to me, grabbing my hand and staring up worriedly.

"Tu okay?" she nearly whispered

"I'm fine." I said, tightening my hand around hers.

"Can you walk?" Carl asked

I nodded and he interlocked his arm through mine anyway.
"I'll be here to help you up just in case." he assured

And then we walked out, all together, hand in hand, arm in arm.
As we walked past Abe's house I just wanted to run and jump in Rick's arms and kiss him, but I couldn't cause Carl held on tightly.

I'm grateful for my two little munchkins, I'm happy to know they care so much. Though, I'd be even more grateful  if Jay was here, but I know he's watching over, smiling down at us.

We finally reached Carson's office, which was also a house, and Carl placed 3 knocks on the screen door.

"I'm nervous." Carl murmured

"Why are you nervous? I should be the one who's nervous." I laughed

"Well yeah, but I ca---"

"Hey guys.  You okay today?" Carson asked whilst opening his door to us.

We stepped inside and I greeted him with a big hug.
"Why so happy?" he asked, hugging back.

"Dr. Carson I might be pregnant!" I exclaimed

He pulled away and looked me up and down before planting a kiss on my forehead.
It meant nothing, maybe congrats but nothing more--- Cause Dr.Carson is gay, he's also in a relationship with Jesus.. But that's none of my business you know.

"We aren't sure yet, that's why we're here." Carl proclaimed

"Ah, come this way." Dr. Carson said leading us into a small room.

I sat on the bed and Carl sat beside me with Judith on his lap while Carson rambled through the drawers looking for something.

He finally pulled out a pregnancy test and walked over to me, gently placing it in my lap.

I looked down at the plastic container and smiled, "do I take it?"

"Well duh," he said patting my back.

"Alright!" I exclaimed, hopping up.

"We'll be here waiting for you, Mom." Carl called out as I walked toward the bathroom.

After I took the test, I stepped out the bathroom with a smile across my face, confident that I was having a baby Grimes.

"It's positive?" Carson yelped, hopping from his seat.

"I don't know!" I shrugged.

I may look happy on the outside, but I'm dying from anxiety on the inside.
What if I'm not having a baby Grimes?

"Why are you out here then?!" Carl exclaimed

"It's still drying and I don't wanna see the results." I said, running my hand over the left side of my face in frustration.

"I'll break the news then," Carl got up and placed Judith down while taking off toward the bathroom like it was no problem. LIKE HE WASN'T AS NERVOUS AS I AM.

Carson and I stared at each other until Carl stepped back out with the test in his hand and a frown across his face.

He looked me in the eyes and draped his head back down and that's when I knew I wasn't having a baby Grimes..

"There's always next time.." Carl sighed

"WHEN YOU COME FOR YOUR FIRST CHECKUP!" He exclaimed, shoving the test in my face to reveal two lines which meant I was pregnant and... I ALMOST FAINTED. EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING SO QUICKLY.

I hopped up and hugged him tight, "congratulations Michonne." he whispered, tightening his arms around me.
