Of course you didnât expect escaping the QZ to be a breeze. You and Joel had to be careful, that went without saying. What you didnât expect was to see Marlene, and now be responsible for cargo. Cargo that came in the form of Ellie. All of a sudden, you and Joel are responsible for a twelve year old girl, who is deemed to be the cure for mankind. Joel was miffed at first, to say the least. His plan was clean cut. Get you and him to Jackson, where you can reunite with Tommy, and settle down with your little one on the way. But now, a new responsibility weighed upon you both. You were just as concerned as Joel, but you felt for Ellie. Hell, sheâs a firecracker, but sheâs only a child carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. You already felt maternal towards her. Now, the three of you are trekking to find a location for the night to rest your heads and weary bodies. It wasnât far now to Jackson, but you needed rest in your condition. Somewhere along the way, Ellie found a joke book thatâs sheâs decided to entertain you both and herself with.
âI walked into my sisterâs room and tripped on a bra, it was a booby trap!â, she cackles. You snort a laugh out yourself. âStop Ellie, Iâm gonna piss myself!â, you giggle, rubbing your new bump out of habit. âBaby, you best be taking notes for your dad jokes.â, you say as you take Joelâs hand into your own. He cracks a small smile, âNo need for me tâtake notes. Mine are gonna be a helluvaâ lot better than that damn book, Iâll tell ya that much right now.â, he gruffly states.
âCome onnn, old man! You gotta admit thereâs some bangers in here!â, Ellie objects. You giggle at the two of them squabbling, at Joel trying to maintain his gruff persona in front of Ellie. One thing you learned about Joel, especially in this post-outbreak world, is that he isnât a grump. Not really. Deep down, heâs just afraid. Afraid that one day, his guard will slip and heâll lose everything. But in these moments between him and Ellie, where he eases, itâs wonderful to see him smile. And it gets you thinking about the kind of father heâs gonna be. You nuzzle your face into his shoulder. He smiles and kisses the top of your head. âLike a damn cat, babydoll.â, he grumbles in faux-annoyance. âEwwww! Get a room, you two!â, Ellie protests at the small PDA you and Joel inflicted her eyes with. âShut up, squirt!â, he chuckles.
You guys manage to come across a cabin, and after Joel secures the perimeters, youâre able to relax. The cabin had the living room and kitchen as open plan, a small room with a bed, and an even smaller bathroom. Ellie dives straight for the couch. Joel inspects the bed before gently laying you down on it. âThere you are, angel. You just relax now.â, he pecks your lips before taking off your shoes for you. He then sits on the edge of the bed, taking your feet and massaging them. He leaves the door open for now, so he can keep an eye on Ellie in the living room. This time, Ellie watches you both curiously. âWhat ya lookin at, kiddo?â, Joel inquires.
âHow long have you two been together?â, she asks.
Joel smiles, a glimmer in his eye as he reminisces on his life with you. âSeventeen years and countinâ.â
âYeesh! You two are ancient!â
You both laugh, you roll your head back.
âOi missy! Weâre not that old!â, you playfully protest.
âYeah, yeahâŚyou would say that, both of you probably went to school with dinosaurs!â, she adds cheekily. She then gazes at Joel, watching his soft smile and his hand on your bump. âCareful old man, youâre goinâ all gooey-eyed.â, she teases. Joel simply rolls his eyes, not taking it personally. He leans down to kiss your bump. âHow ya feelinâ, sweetheart? Ya ainât hurtinâ anywhere, are ya?â, he lets himself lie down next to you. Heâs gonna be on guard tonight, but he will grant himself this small rest. âIâm okay baby, you rest. Have a lil nap, Iâll wake you up before Iâm about to fall asleep.â, you assure him as you put a hand through his hair.
He is reluctant to sleep, but he knows he needs to have some rest if he wants to be at his best wits to protect you and Ellie. âBaby, you best wake me up before you fall asleep. Iâm not letting you do an all-nighter.â, he speaks firmly, protective as ever. âYes, yes, daddy-o. I know you wonât let me hear the end of it if I do.â You look over to see that Ellie is already fast asleep on the couch, Joel pulls you closer to him gently. You both look at each other tenderly, getting lost in one anotherâs eyes, as you have done over these past seventeen years. It never gets old. You place his hand on your small bump and smile. âOur babyâs in there⌠I still canât believe it.â, you whisper.
âMe neither. Beautiful, so beautiful, my angels.â, he leans down to kiss your bump again. He is just as obsessed as you are.
Itâs been a few hours now, Joel eventually and reluctantly slipped into slumber. Youâve been playing with his hair absentmindedly. It was an action that simultaneously soothed him and yourself. You donât want to wake him up, but you promised him you would as soon as you felt yourself slipping into the same state as he is in right now. He is so beautiful when he is sleeping, nothing plaguing his mind. You wake him up with gentle kisses to his face. He stirs awake with a chuckle, enjoying the sensation your kisses left on his face. âYa kept yer promise, baby.â, his voice heavy with sleep. âMhmâ, you reply, as you mischievously straddle him. âWhatcha up to, sugar?â, he drawls with an amused smirk. âNothinââ, you smile cheekily. Your hormones have been all over the place lately. Yesterday, you were âLittle Miss Grumpyâ, as Joel had named you. Today, however, you were very needy for him. You just canât get enough of him. You rut on his groin, causing him to take in a sharp breath. He teasingly tuts at you, âDirty girl, getting needy for me again, huh? Youâre relentless, baby.â, he leans up, kissing from your neck up to your jaw. âJoelllâ, you whine. âShhh, baby, Iâm gonna take care of ya. I always do, donât I, babydoll?â, kissing you gently. You nod against his lips, as he starts to gently take off your clothes. Once youâre bare upon him, he revels in your beauty. âFuckinâ hell baby, always takinâ my breath away.â He closes the door to ensure privacy, not wanting to accidentally traumatise Ellie. He takes off his own shirt while gazing at your form, so divine to him. He shakes his head admiringly. Now itâs your turn to ogle him. Your hands worship his bare torso. âYouâre so fuckin hot, babyâ, you appraise him. His body was toned to perfection. He was a contractor before the outbreak, so he was already in fit form. But these years in survival mode, have really honed in on his physicality. His biceps really did it for you. He chuckles at your obvious appreciation of him, god, you give him the confidence and ego of a self righteous king. He gives you a show, slowly unbuckling his belt. You try to ease the tension oozing from in between your thighs, clamping them together. âPlease, Joel!â, your begging catching him off guard. You really were desperate for him. âShhh baby, donât need tâbeg for me.â, he rubs you down.
Once he is finally stripped down as you are, you ravish him. Kissing and touching him all over. Your tongue feels him out, he pushes you away gently so that he can give you the pleasure you need. âIf it gets too much, you change your mind and wanna stop, tell me baby. Youâre in control, my girl.â, he always tells you this every time and you always reply with, âI will, baby. Now stuff me up!â. He chuckles, âGreedy girl.â, he faux-chastises. He enters you slowly and carefully, the stretch making you both moan. âAlways so warm and ready for meâ, he groans in satisfaction. The sounds coming from in between you are unholy. He slowly and deeply makes love to you, touching and kissing you in all the right places. You both liked it slower between you nowadays, you could really feel every sensation. Inside, you feel so full. You have to nuzzle yourself into his neck to muffle your moans of pleasure. Once he can tell that youâre nearing your peak, he quickens his pace slightly. âCome on baby, give it tâme, gorgeous girl. Always a good girl fâme.â, he moans as you clamp down on him. âThatâs it baby, you did so well for me. Beautiful girl.â, he kisses you deeply as he fills you with his spend.
Youâre a whimpering and tearful mess, he has always been able to make you emotional with intense pleasure. âI got ya, baby. I always got ya, honey. Lean on me.â, his thick arms securing you in his embrace.
He lovingly cleans you up the best he can with what he has got in the cabin. As always, he takes care of you first before he takes care of himself. Carefully dressing you, not wanting to jostle you too much in your sensitivity. You watch him, completely in love. âI love you so much, Joel. With every bit of me.â, you cup the side of his face with your right hand. He smiles, leaning in to your touch, kissing your palm. âI love you just as much, if not more, babydoll.â
Youâre about to relax, when you look past his shoulder at the small window of the cabin. You let out a harrowing scream. Your heart plummets to your stomach. Joel instantly with no hesitation, shields you, and holds his gun to the direction your gaze was pointed.
A man was peering in to your cabin.
