Chapter 15

Abbigail Norrington

It was so lovely to spend these last few days with my family in relative peace and quiet. Troy was off with Kamil and Jimmy escorting the new doctors back to their group, and Troy was going to have a powwow with Dr. Stuart Dodges over their findings on the Perdition Virus and how to finally stop this plague.

I had my girls, Ella and Kasey, to take care of, and Chris, Tyler, and Christine had the three of us to dote over. Life was seemingly back to normal. Like before the outbreak normal, which was almost inconceivable.

No one even mentioned the word ‘infected’ or ‘zombie’ to me in the last seventy-two hours, and I loved every second of it. Breastfeeding, on the other hand, was a pain in the ass, and I hated it. I forgot how much of a task breastfeeding was, and to do it with twins, each wanting to eat at the same time, ugh. However, I would take these problems any day of the week over the kind of troubles shuffling around outside.

We’d all been through so much since the outbreak, we deserved a vacation from the apocalypse. I was healing well from my caesarean and Doc Bakers said I could be up and moving about in the next day or so, but I should still try and take it easy. Healing from a c-section could take up to six weeks, according to the Doc.

I was feeling better than I had in a really long time, though, and I was starting to get cabin fever. I was cooped up in bed for weeks at the end of my pregnancy, and now Doc Bakers wanted to keep me resting for another week at least. I needed to get up and move, even if it was against doctor’s orders.

Once the babies were fed, and everyone, including Chris and Tyler, were down for naps, I decided to take a walk. It was a gorgeous day outside, and I needed to stretch my legs.

I walked along the concrete wall that surrounded the property, and I happened upon a group of purple flowers peeking up from the wet soil. They reminded me of the flowers I placed on the funeral pyre for Allycia and the others.

The memory brought tears to my eyes. I brushed them away quickly, sitting in the grass against the wall at the far end of the property. From my vantage point, I could see the barn, the siloes with gasoline and grain inside, and the very top of the cabin where the burnt-out chimney still stood.

People were working on clearing the burned pieces of the roof today to make way for the repairs that were supposed to start when Kamil returned from the Wawayanda stronghold. I missed Kamil. He was always a good friend to talk to, and I could really use him right about now.

I sat in the fresh grass with the sun warming my face. I needed this. I had been trapped inside for far too long.
