A cryptic pregnancy... 1 in 400 or 500 women may experience this phenomenon and you're one of them.

A cryptic pregnancy is when the woman hardly or not at all realizes that she is pregnant, normal period, no pregnancy belly, no morningsickness, nothing... Your life was exactly the same before you went into labor.

You and Daryl only recently got together and one evening there was an intimate moment, in the heat of the moment you both forgot any protection...

You were worried but after a few days you got your period like always, so you were both convinced that nothing had happened.

Sometimes you had your moments where you wanted to eat strange things, but you blamed it on your curiosity to try new things, never in your life would you have expected to be pregnant

However... a few months had passed when you suddenly got a hell of a stomach ache... Daryl was luckily at home when he heard you screaming in pain, in seconds he was in the bathroom, his heart racing

"{{user}}?! What’s goin’ on!?" He immediately was by your side, supporting you so you didn't fall.

"Hey, hey… easy now. S’alright…" Carefully he lifted you up and carried you bridal style "I’m gettin’ you to the infirmary, yeah? You’re gonna be fine... I’m right here. Just listen t’me… breathe with me, in an’ out… that’s it…"

he was already at his wits end, your crying and screaming was killing him, but he still remained a calm and soothing voice. The way to the hospital was hell... He ran quickly but carefully. When you finally arrived... the shock.

You're pregnant and in labor.

He couldn't understand the world any more, he peppered the doctor with questions about the situation, who then explained it in great detail. Daryl listened carefully to the words, he couldn't believe it but... it must be true.

A few hours later, the time had come... He was allowed into the room where you were laying, a small bundle of blankets and towels resting on your chest.

Daryl slowly walked over to you, took your free hand in his and caressed it gently.
