A Carol one shot
Carol was exhausted she had a long day she walked the prison all day keeping the group safe, but all she wanted to do was get in her bed, and go straight to sleep. She wasn't even hungry, she went to her room, and was taking her pants off, and was pulling up her shorts she normally wore to bed. She noticed out of the corner of her eyes it was missing. She walked over pulling the blankets up from the bed, and it wasn't there. She couldn't breath it had to be here, she got on her knees looking on the floor. She dumped her bag on the floor, and she fell to her knees going through everything when tears welled up in her eyes. She finally jumped up, and ran downstairs screaming she actually lost her footing, and fell down the last two steps. Everyone was at the table eating, they all were in shock they didn't know what caused Carol to come running downstairs. She walked over to the table, and they could see she was so upset tears fell down her cheeks.
"Who took the doll off my bed, it was there this morning, and now it is gone". Carol screamed Daryl got up, and grabbed her arm.
"Carol calm down we can see you are upset"
"I will not calm down someone took my doll"
Beth stood up she was shaking as she whispered.
"I took it Carol for Judith, I washed the dirt off it. It was nasty but it is outside drying on the clothes line at the back."
Carol cried out running outside as Rick, and Daryl ran after her. Beth looked at Hershel, and whispered.
"What did I do"?
Glenn got up, "That was her daughters Doll Beth"
"Oh my God I just thought it was laying around, and Judith would like it"
"You didn't know" Maggie said as she hugged Beth. Everyone sat quietly hoping Carol would be OK.
Carol ran outside, and over to the cloths line, and pulled the doll off, and fell to her knees as she cried out.
"No , No"
Rick, and Daryl walk up to her but Carol stood up, and screamed.
"She washed away my baby girl it was all I had left of her. Her touch was washed away now it is like she wasn't even here"
Daryl felt overwhelmed as he touched her shoulder, and whispered.
"Beth didn't know Carol she was thinking of Judith"
"I love Judith but this is mine this is my Baby Girls doll she loved this more than anything, and it was the last thing she held, and now her scent is gone. Beth had no right that was my personal belongings not hers"
"You are right but Sophia would want that doll to be enjoyed, and played with"
"Don't Rick don't you dare"
"Carol Sophia is gone we all loved her but that doll isn't all that you have left of her. You have your memories, and your love for her, I know you are hurting, and I'm sorry you lost her, and I feel so bad I didn't bring her back to you"
"I don't blame you , I blame myself"
"You were a great Mom, and you are wonderful with Judith, she is lucky to have you, and Beth"
"She is sweet Rick treasure her, and Carl"
"I will" Rick gave her a smile, and said he would go back to the others she could join them when she was ready. Daryl said he would stay with her. Rick went to walk away but Carol said.
"Rick wait"
"Yes"
Carol walked over handing Rick the doll, and whispered.
"Sophia would want Judith to have this"
"No Carol this is yours"
"Take it please" Rick took it out of her hands, and said thank you as he walked away.
Carol watched as he went inside she fell to her knees, and Daryl walked over, and held her tight knowing Carol never really said goodbye to Sophia but today she knew that Sophia was gone to Heaven but she will always be in her heart, and that she had a family, she was not alone, and for that she felt blessed.
The End

The End
I am glad that Carol let Beth have her daughter Sophia's doll for Beth's daughter Judith even though it tore Carol up inside to give Sophia's doll ot Beth for Juidth even though Beth shouldn't have gone through Carol's things and taken the doll without asking Carol first.
