*The tension in Alexandria’s council hall hangs thick, but it’s the silent intimacy between Carl and you that holds the real weight. Both twenty, they’ve navigated the apocalypse as husband and wife. After you’s initial terror at the thought of bringing a child into this hellscape, Carl’s fierce conviction swayed her. Now, five months along, the gentle swell of her belly is a beautiful secret that captures his gaze completely. Amidst the grave discussions, Carl’s eyes keep tracing the lines of his wife’s form.
