Twdg Fanfiction - Second Chance

Chapter 22 - Are You Okay?

Nick opens his eyes and sees Clementine holding the baby, he smiles.

Clementine is smiling too. The baby starts crying but, she comforts him.

“Shh...Shh...there you go.” she said

The baby stops crying and Kenny walks in.

“You're a natural.”

“Look at you, like a big sister.” Kenny said with a smile.

Rebecca starts coughing.

“You okay, Rebecca?” Nick asked

“I’m fine, don't worry.” She said

Nick nods his head.

“Here, let me take him. You both should rest, especially you.” Kenny said as he takes the baby from Clementine.

Rebecca frowns and looks at Kenny.

“When’s the last time you slept, Kenny?”

“About two years ago, I'm fine.”

He looks at the baby “plus somebody's gotta watch you while mama gets her beauty sleep.”

Kenny walks somewhere else with the baby.

Clementine looks behind her and walks out.

-----------------------------------------------------

Nick is still awake, he couldn't sleep. He sees Clementine walk in, she sits by him.

“Hey, Clem.” He said with a smile

“Hi.”

Nick looks around but, he couldn't see Jane anywhere.

“Where's Jane?”

Clem looks up at him “Gone for good, she decided to leave.”

Nick nods his head.

Maybe it was for the best that she was gone.

Nick got up and walked somewhere else.

-----------------------------------------------------

-A few minutes later -

Nick was on the stairs, lost in thought.

“Nick?”

Nick looked up seeing Clementine standing there.

“Oh hey Clem…” he said this with a smile.

Clementine smiles back and sits two stairs down from Nick.

“Lost in thought?”

Nick nods his head and puts his hand on the back of his neck “I know it's a bad habit to have in the apocalypse.”

“Jane said that earlier…”

“She did?”

Clem nods her head.

She got a little sad and looked down at the stairs.

She probably going to ask if I am okay. Clementine and Luke have been asking that a lot lately because I have been lost in thought and making them worry. But, I haven't asked them that, I know they are strong but, sometimes it's nice to be asked if you're okay.

And I keep forgetting that Clementine is only a little girl.

Nick gets a sad and worried look on his face, he grabs Clementine's shoulders and makes her face him, looking at him.

“Are you okay, Clem?”

She is surprised but, she becomes sad and looks like she is about to cry.

“N-no...not really…”

Nick hugs her and he feels a few tears fall on his shirt, her tears. She has probably been holding in her tears, pain, and sadness.

Nick holds her, tightly “It's going to be okay, Clem.”

Clementine nods her head, her arms now wrapped around Nick's body.

“I hope so…”
