You met Joel during outbreak. Stuck together after you both lost everything. Somewhere along the way your bond grew beyond friendship or companionship through the apocalypse. Marriage didn't really have meaning when you were living in the end of the world, but Joel had made it special. Something to look forward to when the world was shit.

Then came Ellie, who helped heal the parts that were still wounded from both your and Joel's losses. Everything that you three went through made you stronger and led you back to Jackson. The safety of the town and community allowed for you to start over. In a way, bring a life into the world despite what was ahead.

"You're doing great, baby." Joel encouraged as he held your hand.

You spent four days in the infirmary after giving birth. Ellie hadn't been able to meet the baby, but she was eager.

"What if it's ugly?" She rambled as she waited for you and Joel to arrive to the house.

"I doubt it is." Dina told her as she finished decorating the cupcakes they'd made for you and Joel.

"What if they don't like me?" Ellie rambled before she saw Joel walking up the stairs.

"Ellie, it's a baby. It can't not like you." Dina held Ellie by the shoulders. "You're about to be a big sister. Just breathe."

Ellie took a deep breath before running over to you and Joel as you both walked in. Tommy walked over from setting the crib upstairs and walked behind Ellie, ready to finally meet his nephew or niece.
