The New World 3

Sabrina reached behind her only to feel the dewy grass. She turned her head and found that Daryl's poncho or sleeping bag was nowhere to be seen. Sitting up she saw Ana eating breakfast with Carl and the guys going up to the second gate to deal with the walkers.

"How come nobody woke me up?" She asked going to Carol to get something to eat.

"We thought you might need some more sleep. You were tossing and turning all night." Carol said with a small smile.

"I was?"

"Yeah."

"Morning Sabrina."

"Morning Lori."

Sabrina looked over to the gate and saw the guys plus Maggie go in. For some reason she felt her heart ache a little when Daryl didn't give her a kiss. She watched them take down the walkers one by one. Lori, Carol, Sabrina, Ana and Beth started hitting the fence and yelling to get the walkers attention. One got close enough to Sabrina that she could stick her knife through the fence to kill it.

"Do you see them?" She heard Lori ask.

"I think they're over there." Carol answered.

"There under the fenced catwalk." Sabrina said.

"Are they ok?"

"It looks like they're done. Let's go to the gate."

The girls rushed to the gate and stood by Hershel. Rick looked over at the rest of the group before motioning T-Dog, Maggie, Glenn, Daryl and Maggie to follow him.

"What are they doing?" Lori asked.

"Looks like they're checking out the inside." Hershel said to Lori.

"What the hell is he thinking!? I know for a fact that the prison isn't deserted on the inside. He's leading them into a death trap." Sabrina said going for the gate.

"That may be true Sabrina but take into consideration that most of the walkers are most likely in their cells locked up." Hershel reassured.

Soon after Hershel said that Glenn came to the gate.

"There's a cell block cleared out." He said opening the gate for the rest of the group to come in.

The group picked their things up and followed Glenn inside. Once they got in there T-Dog was dragging a walker out of the cell block.

"What do you think?" Rick asked once everyone got in.

"Home sweet home." Glenn said almost sarcastically.

"For the time being."

"It's secure?" Carol asked Rick.

"This cellblock is."

"What about the rest of the prison?" Hershel asked.

"In the morning, we'll find the cafeteria and infirmary."

"We sleep in the cells?"

"I found keys on some guards. Daryl has a set, too."

"I ain't sleepin' in no cage. I'll take the perch."

Sabrina and Ana went up the stairs to pick a cell for them. "Mom, can I have my own cell?" Ana asked as soon as they reached the top of the stairs.

"Are you sure you want to stay in one by yourself?" She asked hesitantly.

"Yeah. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." Ana said smiling.

"Ok." Sabrina said with a chuckle. "But I'm taking the one next to you."

Ana hugged her mom and picked the very last cell on the right. Sabrina put her things in the cell next to Ana's. By the time she went back to Ana's room, Ana was on the bottom bunk asleep. Sabrina went into the cell and kissed her forehead before heading back out. She went to Lori's cell to check up on her.

"How are you doing?" Sabrina saw Lori's face held a lot of concern. "Lori, what's wrong?"

"I think I might have a still birth." She said quietly.

"Carol, can you go get Hershel please?" Sabrina asked not taking her eyes off of Lori.

"Sure."

She kneeled in front of Lori. "Lori, can you raise your shirt up a bit."

Lori raised her shirt up a bit and Sabrina started pushing her stomach lightly.

"Everything ok?" Hershel's voice came to Sabrina's ears.

"It's the baby. I think I lost it."

"You haven't felt it move?"

"Nothing. And no Braxton-Hicks."

"Sabrina?"

"I don't feel any movement Hershel." She said getting up and Lori put her shirt back down.

"At first I thought it was exhaustion or malnutrition." Lori said.

"You're anemic?"

"If we're all infected, then so is the baby. So what if it's stillborn? What if it's dead inside me right now? What if it rips me apart?"

"Stop." Hershel and Sabrina said simultaneously.

"Don't let your fear take control of you."

"Ok. Let's say it lives and I die during childbirth."

"That's not going to happen."

"Why not?"

"How many women died in childbirth before modern medicine?"

Sabrina stood there thinking before Lori's voice broke her concentration.

"If I come back, what if I attack it? Or you? Or Rick? Or Carl? Or you Sabrina? If I do, if there's any chance, you put me down immediately. You don't hesitate. Me, the baby, if we're walkers, you don't hesitate and you don't try to save us. Okay?"

She looked at both of them and they finally nodded their heads slightly.

"I-I'm going to check on the others." Sabrina said her goodbyes to them and walked out of the cell.

"Is she ok?" Carol asked once Sabrina was in her sight.

"She's worried that she might not make it through the birth or that the baby is a still born and it's going to rip her apart." She said quietly.

"You don't think she's going to die or have a stillbirth do you?"

"I hope not Carol." She said sighing.

They heard weapons clanking so they looked over to where the guys were.

"Looks like they're getting ready to clear another block out." Sabrina said.

She felt Carol's hand on her shoulder. "Tell Daryl I said be careful."

"I will." She said before heading to the guys.

She reached them right when Rick took a guard helmet away from Carl saying that he didn't need it.

"I need you to stay put."

"You're kidding."

"We don't know what's in there. Something goes wrong, you could be the last man standing. I need you to handle things here."

"Sure."

Sabrina turned her attention to Daryl. "You be careful ok."

"Are ya tellin' me or requestin'?"

"Both."

He smirked at that before he bent down and kissed her cheek then started out of the cellblock.

"Daryl." She said lowly.

A kiss on the cheek?

Rick told the men it's time and the guys, including Hershel left. Carl locked the cell door when they exited. Sabrina went up to Ana's cell to check up on her. When she got to the entrance she saw Ana sitting up while rubbing her eyes.

"Have a nice nap?"

"Yeah." She said getting up and heading out of the cell. "Where is everybody?"

"The guys went to clear out some more of the prison."

"You think they'll come back safe?"

"I'm sure they will baby." Sabrina said smoothing out Ana's bed head. "I think Beth needs some help with some of her things, why don't you see if you can help her?"

Ana went to help Beth, if there was anything to help with. Sabrina didn't want Ana to be around Carl for a while. She felt that Carl was going down a dark path and didn't want Ana to go down the same one. She heard some kind of metal being wheeled and Daryl yelling about unlocking the door. Sabrina ran down the steps quickly to see Carl unlocking the door and Hershel being wheeled in on a metal food table.

"What the hell happened?"

"Hershel got bit and we had to cut his leg off." Rick said hurriedly. "Carol! We need you!"

They rushed him into a cell a put him on a bed. "How are we going to stop the bleeding?" Sabrina asked panicked.

Yes, Sabrina was a nurse intern but she never got to the part where they teach you how to fix a chopped off leg.

"We need bandages." Carol said.

"We used everything we had." Glenn said.

"Well, get more. Anything."

"Carl, go get the towels from the back, right next to my bed."

"Is he gonna die?"

"No, no, no. He's going to be ok. He's going to be ok." Lori said trying to be comforting.

Sabrina started feeling dizzy from so much blood that she saw and had to excuse herself. She leaned up against the concrete wall to calm her racing heart and dizziness.

"Are you ok mom?"

"I'm fine baby. Why don't you go unpack your things and set up your room the way you want it."

"Ok." She said and went back to her cell.

Sabrina took a slow deep breath before she headed to the main cell door. "That's far enough." She heard Daryl say.

She didn't know if he was talking to her or not.

"Cell Block C, Cell 4-that's mine, gringo. Let me in."

"T'day's yer lucky day, fellas. Ya've been pardoned by the state of Georgia. Yer're free ta go."

Who's voice is that?
