Part of The Walking Dead
First published 2007
Rick Grimes and his group of survivors have carved out a fragile existence in their zombie-infested world. Now Lori's pregnancy has reached full term and labor approaches. The group has weathered countless attacks from walkers and hostile humans alike, but this birth will test them in ways they never anticipated. Rick must confront choices that will fundamentally alter the trajectory of their survival. The delivery brings consequences that no amount of preparation could have readied them for. What should be a moment of hope and new life becomes something far more complex in a world where the dead walk. This pivotal moment forces the survivors to reckon with what it truly means to live when death surrounds them at every turn. The birth marks a crucial juncture in their story, one that will reshape everything they thought they knew about survival and sacrifice.
