After sending Bucephalus back to the stable, Carl hesitated for a moment and headed towards the camp.
It is still necessary to talk to his mother Lori, and of course, Sean, but Sean is not in the camp now.
Karl could already imagine the expressions on their faces when they learned the news, and their expressions when they knew that he knew.
When Carl returned to the camp, he didn't see Lori. He went back to the tent and found Lori was inside. So he didn't have to look for a place anymore.
Lori looked a little dazed, and didn't even notice that Karl had come in, until Karl called out,
"Mother."
"Ah? Carl, when did you come? Is there something wrong?" Lori was a little flustered and her eyes were evasive.
This is a sign of guilty conscience. Carl has seen a lot of similar signs these days when asking questions to those who come later.
Although the performance is not constant, if you observe carefully, you can still find some common characteristics.
"Mom, you don't seem to be in a very good mental state." Carl said.
"Really?" Lori forced a smile and rubbed her cheek, "Maybe I didn't sleep well."
"I already know that." Carl hesitated, but decided to say it directly.
"What? What do you know?" Lori was shocked.
"You are pregnant. There is no need to hide this."
"This... Carl, who told you this? How is this possible?" Lori forced a smile and instinctively wanted to hide it.
"Have you forgotten? You can't fool me, Mom. It's okay. It really doesn't matter. I don't mind."
Karl comforted her softly, walked to Lori's side, and held Lori's shoulders, "Mom, I really don't mind. You don't have to think about aborting her. She shouldn't die like this."
"Carl." Lori grabbed Carl's hand and couldn't help but cry.
It took a while for Lori to react, "She?"
Carl nodded, "She."
…
After comforting Lori and finally calming her down, Carl reluctantly left the camp and continued today's training.
After lunch, training continued in the afternoon, and Moore and Carl could also practice throwing knives.
It was not until the afternoon when Sean and the others came back that Carl stopped his training, found Sean, and the two went to the woods.
"Carl, we lost a man today." Sean's face was not looking good.
"A latecomer?" Carl asked.
"Yeah, Shama."
"How did he die?"
"By the zombies, he was too careless and almost killed us."
"Well, I'll cross out its name. It doesn't matter as long as there are no gang forces nearby." Carl nodded.
Sean frowned slightly, "Karl, what do you want from me?"
Carl turned around and looked directly at Sean. What should he say?
You got my mom pregnant?
This is fucking weird. Although he doesn't care, Carl still feels it's weird.
After hesitating for a while, Karl said slowly, "My mother is pregnant."
"Ah? What did you say?" Sean was stunned.
Carl repeated, "My mom is pregnant."
"This...is this true?" Sean finally reacted, and the expression on his face instantly turned into surprise and a silly smile.
"Otherwise, stop grinning like that. It makes me uncomfortable," Carl said.
Sean realized something at this time, and asked with a guilty conscience, "Karl, you...you know?"
"Do you think you can hide it from me? It's just that I just don't want to say anything." Carl said helplessly.
Sean smiled awkwardly. He really wanted to go see Lori, but Carl was still there. For a moment, Sean really didn't know what to say.
"This is something that cannot be avoided. It has already happened. I know you don't have any psychological burden, but my mother does. You have to counsel her more."
Only Carl himself could understand how weird Karl felt right now.
Sean nodded quickly, "I know all this, thank you, Carl, your mother and I will always love you no matter what."
"Don't say such cheesy things, but I have a small request."
"What? Carl, you don't have to hesitate."
"I want to name her."
"This? It's not impossible, but I still want to ask why." Sean raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly realized, "She?"
Karl nodded, "Yes, she is my sister, she has her original name, and I don't want to change it."
"Did you see that?"
Carl nodded.
"what is it call?"
"Judith."
"Nice name, Judith Judith, hahahaha..."
Sean couldn't help but burst into giggles again.
Karl curled his lips, inexplicably unhappy, "One more thing, Sean, don't expect me to change my name for you."
Sean shook his head, as if he remembered something, his smile faded, and his expression was a little sad.
"No, it won't. Your father will always be Rick. Your last name is Grimes. Your father is my best friend. I hope he can rest in peace in heaven. I will take good care of you and your mother. I will protect you for him, but I can't take his place in your heart. I can be sure of that and I understand."
"Stop talking, go back first."
Carl was speechless. If the trajectory was that Rick was really dead, this development would actually be the best, but the key is that Rick is not dead...
Sean's words now have a strange meaning...
Although Sean didn't know it, I knew it.
Karl now feels like he is listening to these words:
I will take care of your wife and children.
Well, wife and son.
This is exactly what is happening.
"Carl, aren't you going back with me?" Sean didn't know what he said wrong.
Carl shook his head, "It's still early, not yet dinner time, I need to go find Beth."
"Beth? Carl, you treat her very differently." Sean laughed.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore, just go away, I'm leaving too."
Carl turned around and left. Looking at the smile on Sean's face, he felt somewhat inexplicably uncomfortable.
It seems that I miss Rick a little bit.
"Hey, Carl, are you mad?" Sean asked from behind.
"No I didn't, I just couldn't wait to find Beth."
Carl answered without turning his head, and quickened his pace.
Is he really eager to find Beth? In fact, Carl just doesn't want Sean to see the expression on his face.
Tears. Carl didn't know why he was crying. Was it because he was thinking of Rick?
But why do I cry when I think of Rick?
Because my name is Carl now.
It was clearly me who gave up waiting for him. Clearly, I didn't have much emotion at the beginning. I was so calm when I decided not to wait for Rick.
Why? Now that Lori is pregnant, I think of Rick and I have an instinctive reaction of crying.
Carl now couldn't tell which was the dream, but the only thing he could be sure of was that
What is before us is reality.
