STILL ALIVE ➝ JOSHIA

[piercelydia-blog]

WHO: Josh Evans & Lydia Pierce, mentions of others.

WHAT: Zombie Apocalypse prompt (#2).

WHERE: Their camp.

WHEN: Late afternoon.

DETAILS: Josh is presumed dead and Lydia finds out she’s pregnant. Weeks later, he finds his way back and they reunite.

JOSH

His face contorted when she said he was on watch and he glanced around as if someone was going to confirm or deny or maybe even explain themselves but he’d been gone for so long he figured a lot had changed since then. That didn’t mean he was happy to hear it. “You’re on watch? Since when–” he cut himself off when it dawned on him what he was saying and he took a breath. He was usually the one that took watch for the two of them. “Right, yeah. I’ll be quick.” He told her, though he didn’t think she minded with how distant she seemed.

His shower was a lot longer than he intended just because he hadn’t had a proper one in so long. He’d only found a lake or two the past couple weeks and even then they weren’t the cleanest. He snipped some of his hair and trimmed his beard before slipping into a fresher pair of clothes and heading back out into the night with his knife where he found Lydia posted at the head of the camp. Walking up behind her, he moved to sit behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her to lean back against his chest as he took in her scent. “I could really use a cigarette right now. You don’t happen to have one on you, do you?” He teased, though he wasn’t really joking and he took her hands in his own, toying with her ring.

LYDIA

Lydia hadn’t even thought about the fact that Josh might have thought it weird that she was on watch. It had become the regular now, but as he started to protest it dawned on both of them. On him that he hadn’t been here to see her transition, and on her that he wasn’t used to her being on watch. She said nothing more on the subject though, just nodded as he headed off in the other direction to get himself cleaned up. 

She sat, looking out at much of nothing, considering how dark it was by that point. From the way the other guy had made it seem, they had seen Josh get taken down. The thought of it made her sick to her stomach, which went hand in hand with the morning sickness. She had expected to see him as a zombie for seeing him there in the flesh. She jumped when she heard him come up behind her, settling when she saw it was him. She allowed him to wrap his arms around her and while she leaned back against him, she didn’t completely settle herself, wanting to be prepared for something wandering their way. “No, I stopped a little while ago.” She replied, “But there’s probably some in the tent.” Her head tilting down when she felt him toy with her ring. The one she hadn’t taken off. She sighed, “There’s something I have to tell you.”

Yeah but if you give me one too she’ll know it’s from me. 

Way to be cheap.

joshsevans:

Oh right, costume prizes. I see what you did there. Are you sending one to lydiaismine?

I’m not balboaslacker by the way, but thanks for bringing them up cause they made a great point.

I sent one of each to lydiaismine.

Will you let me live?

smythesaaron:

Not everyone.

I didn’t know there was bad blood between you two.

STILL ALIVE ➝ JOSHIA

WHO: Josh Evans & Lydia Pierce, mentions of others.

WHAT: Zombie Apocalypse prompt (#2).

WHERE: Their camp.

WHEN: Late afternoon.

DETAILS: Josh is presumed dead and Lydia finds out she’s pregnant. Weeks later, he finds his way back and they reunite.

JOSH

Josh was definitely not the same person that he had been since they got split up. It was the first time he’d ever been alone out there and it was hell. Just a few hours ago his life was in another group’s hands and he could only hope that they didn’t find him because he’d be an endangerment to the group. He didn’t know how to act with Lydia. In fact he was having a hard time accepting that she was right there. He’d dream about this moment so many times he was just expecting to wake up at any moment with that awful gut twisting feeling in his stomach.

However, it was hard to ignore that she seemed rather distant herself and he couldn’t help but call her out on it, if only because he expected her to be a lot happier with his return. “Right…” He nodded slowly as he came to a halt in front of the tent. “Yeah, I know. I’m still pretty sure I’m asleep..” He pressed his lips together, glancing off to the side and then back at her as he slipped his hands into his pocket. “I’m gonna go um, I’m gonna go see if I can get into the RV and wash up. I’ll see you in a bit?” He asked, tilting his head as he eyed her carefully.

LYDIA

Lydia wanted to know what Josh had been through the past few weeks. He looked as if he had been on the road, but otherwise he looked like he was in one piece. Which was what mattered, in addition to his mind being intact. He hadn’t gone crazy or anything. It was amazing that the once slacker had found the means to thrive so much in this new world.

“I’m actually on watch now.” She gestured back toward the front of the camp. She wasn’t on watch before he left, but she was capable of shooting a gun and she had already knifed her fair share of walkers. “So, yeah, you um.. wash up and get some rest. I’m sure you really need it.”

The Cubs almost winning world series, my sister getting married, me not going out on Halloween this year…can things get any weirder than that? Alias, November has finally arrived and am I the only one thinking 2016 has moved on way too fast?

Yes, just you. You’re the only one who thinks that.

JOSH

Josh couldn’t exactly figure out what was wrong but he could sense something was off with Lydia from the very moment he saw her. He couldn’t even blame her if she was in a state of shock. Especially if she was under the impression that he was dead. Right now he probably looked like a damn ghost to her but he definitely hadn’t expected her to be so frozen. Admittedly, he was too at the sight of her but he’d at least had a few hours to process he’d found the group again before he even saw her.

“I might as well have been after they left me.” He counter, though he’d stopped blaming them a while back just because he didn’t have the energy to carry that weight anymore. “Uh.. yeah, yeah, I guess we should.” He finally said once she pulled back and he met her hard gaze. He took a moment, looking into her eyes and just taking in all of her features as if trying to register them all in his head again before he finally moved and headed to the truck with her. The ride there was joyful yet filled with tension from some of the guys he’d last seen before he was left. By the time they got back to camp and everyone scattered to pass out for the night, he had pulled Lydia aside before they could get to their bed. “Hey, are you okay?” He asked, trying to get something out of her.

LYDIA

Lydia had to become a completely different person when Josh was gone. Now that he was back, she had almost forgotten the version of herself that had been with him. Getting back to that was going to be difficult, especially since she was still processing the fact that he had returned at all. They had made it sound like they knew for sure he was dead. Not that he had been left behind and naturally that made her angry. On the way back, she didn’t say anything. Then again, what was there to say? I’m so happy you’re back, babe, sorry they all lied about what had happened to you, by the way, I’m pregnant.

That was a whole other issue to tackle in itself. As they got back to camp, people were surprised that he was still alive and welcomed him back. Lydia managed a smile, if only because other people seeing him made it more real. She had been spending her nights alone, but that wasn’t to say that someone wasn’t putting the moves on her, after Josh had been gone. Sharing a bed again would be weird. Pausing at the tent, she turned back to him. “Josh, you were gone. I’m sorry, but it’s gonna take me a minute to fully realize that you’re back.” She turned to look at him.

You’re right, Travis is getting old. We, on the other hand, aren’t. I still can’t believe we’re turning twenty-eight in like a month, that’s crazy. It’s just, I don’t know, life is really weird. Like time is passing but when you think about it, are we even in the right century. I know we have a universal way for time now, but like what about back before there was electricity and everything? How could they be so sure they had all the dates and everything correct?

When you say it like that, it makes me feel like I’m old. Someone’s in a philosophical mood. I usually get like this when I’m stoned. I’m sure most of the dates are off.

tonymccintosh:

Uh, yeah, Lydia. Men like massages and scented lotions too. Nah, I’m messing with you. I’d give those to my girl.

Well, sure, I just didn’t think you were that kind of man that did! Yeah, see, that’s what I thought. She gets her pick of her own basket.

[piercelydia-blog]

twpierce:

Why do I have to pick one? You automatically have to send me the best that there is on that list.

There is no best one! It’s based on your preference. I’ll send you the girlie one.

photogevans:

No, only Samuel is Dyslexic…I think? I just wanted to be sure. Ohh… well he didn’t even wear a costume. I thought he was a server for your party? The spa package looks really relaxing and everything else would go to waste on my end so thank you.

I wasn’t serious. Don’t let him hear you say that, he’d pass out at the thought of someone thinking he was a server. 

[piercelydia-blog]

photogevans:

Oh. I didn’t know if I qualified since I was a cop and it was…. a last minute costume. But I would like basket number five please.

Is not reading properly an Evans trait? I said everyone except Sebastian. That means you! No, you can’t have that one.

Kidding.

smythesaaron:

Not in a million years.

...I was not expecting that response. What’s wrong with Tony? Everyone loves Tony. 

[piercelydia-blog]

smythesaaron:

I want all of them and make sure they’re hand delivered by a cute male.

Who are you, Tony?

[piercelydia-blog]

theactingbas:

WHAT! That’s some unlawful shit. AND for your information, Lydia… I DID have a prop. Your goons manhandled me so badly I dropped it in the fucking bushes. I’m suing.

If I give you a basket will you stop being an infant?

What’s the special occasion, again?
