TWD - Zomboid - Chapter 303: Does Ellie Like Girls? (Patreon)

Luke looked at Ada’s stunned expression and couldn’t stop grinning.

He was going to be a dad!

Hehehe!

The news had come out of nowhere, but he was absolutely thrilled.

While he’d been sniping the Whisperers earlier, all he would’ve had to do was glance back once and he would’ve noticed Ada’s buffs.

Still, better late than never.

He hadn’t gotten the chance in his previous life, so he was going to make up for all of it in this one.

In the apocalypse, children represented hope. Hershel talked about that all the time, and Luke finally understood what he meant.

Sure, Ada was the first one to get pregnant.

No problem. He’d make sure the others caught up too. Maggie, Rosita, his sister-in-law. They were all his girls!!

“How did you know?” Ada was still pressing him.

How the hell had this bastard figured it out just by looking at her?

“I have my ways!” Luke couldn’t exactly explain it.

After all, he was basically cheating.

Luke simply kept his arms around Ada. “Don’t worry about how I know. The important thing is the baby. This is amazing! I’m going to have a kid! Hehehe!”

Ada stared at him for a long moment.

Only after confirming that he wasn’t brushing her off did the tension she had been carrying finally disappear.

“Alright, enough talking!”

Luke released her and shouted toward the door.

“Get me a helicopter over here, and make it quick!”

Half an hour later, a helicopter carrying Luke and Ada headed back to the Commonwealth.

Ellie went with them.

She had only just returned the shotgun to Luke when he brought her along as well. They were all headed back to the Commonwealth anyway, so there was no point making a separate trip.

Inside the helicopter, Luke couldn’t sit still for even a moment.

His hand kept drifting toward Ada’s stomach, only for her to slap it away every single time.

“It’s barely been over a month. There’s nothing to feel yet!”

Ada glared at him. “And I need to rest for the next few days, so keep that horny mutt of yours under control. Don’t cause any problems!”

“Listen to you!”

Luke refused to give up.

He leaned over instead and pressed his entire face against Ada’s lower abdomen, trying to listen.

“You can’t hear anything yet! How many times do I have to tell you? Sit still!” Ada pushed his head away.

Ellie sat across from them, watching the entire exchange.

She wasn’t stupid.

From the way the two were acting, she could already guess what was going on.

“How many months?” Ellie asked.

“Probably... a little over one. I haven’t gone to see Rebecca yet.”

“Come to think of it, it is strange. We haven’t used protection in ages. With how often you do it, I should’ve gotten pregnant a long time ago. Why did it take this long?”

Luke shook his head. “How should I know?”

“So you’re only responsible for wearing people out, and you don’t care about anything else. Is that it?” Ada crossed her arms.

“How can you say that? You’re all my girls!”

Luke grinned shamelessly.

He looked like a completely different person from the skull-crusher from earlier.

“By the way.” Ada turned toward him. “How are you planning to explain this to the others back home?”

“Explain what?”

Luke spread his hands.

“If they find out, they’ll only get even crazier. Especially Maggie. She’ll probably strip me naked, lock me in a room, and refuse to let me out until she gets pregnant too.”

“I’ll work hard. Give me a month and I’ll make sure Maggie gets some good news too.”

Ada shot him an exasperated look.

Only this shameless bastard would dare tell one of his lovers, right to her face, that he intended to get another woman pregnant too.

Sitting across from them, Ellie practically had a loading circle spinning over her head.

Wait.

Hold on!

Wait!

What did I just hear?

What did he mean by getting another woman pregnant too?

Was that something a normal human being actually said out loud?

The more Ellie thought about it, the stranger it became.

“You...” Ellie stared at Luke with a bizarre expression. “You have other women? And you...”

She turned toward the beautiful pregnant woman beside him.

“You’re actually okay with that?”

No, no, no!

When did the world start working like this?

“Yep, yep.”

Luke nodded.

That was exactly how it was.

“It’s not that many. Only four so far. I can still handle it!”

Ada hooked a finger under his chin and turned his face toward her.

“What do you mean, only four?” She raised an eyebrow. “Four women still aren’t enough for you to torment?”

“Oh, my beautiful Queen, four is plenty for now.”

Luke smiled and pulled Ada into his arms.

Ada naturally settled against him, then lowered her gaze toward the ring finger of her left hand.

The thin golden band gleamed brightly.

For an agent like her, someone who had spent years walking through darkness with more blood on her hands than she could ever count, simply having somewhere to belong in the end was already more than she could have asked for.

Even if that place happened to be beside a shameless bastard.

At least wherever he was, life would never be boring.

And there was plenty of warmth too.

Ellie sat there completely dumbfounded.

Four?

No, no!

That wasn’t what Joel had taught her.

Marriage was supposed to be one man and one woman.

How the hell did you go from one-on-one to one-on-four?

“Never thought you’d get to witness a normal relationship between a man and a woman,” Luke said, slapping his forehead.

Ellie’s brain practically overheated.

Normal?

What part of this was normal?

Were there even normal humans left in this place?

Ada jabbed Luke in the side with her elbow.

The cool, aloof agent was becoming increasingly accustomed to this kind of childish banter with the damn bastard.

“Stop corrupting the kid. Can you empty some of that garbage out of your head for once?”

Ada slapped the side of Luke’s left ear as if she were trying to shake the trash out through it.

“Hey, hey, I’m kidding. Just kidding.”

Luke caught Ada by the chin and kissed her on the lips.

Hey!

Why were they kissing now?!

There was still an innocent, clueless girl sitting right there!

Ellie turned her head away with a scoff and stared out the window.

Unfortunately, kissing made noise.

Her eyes still drifted back despite herself.

These two shameless bastards were acting like no one else was even there!

She had never seen a couple this brazen!

Unbelievable!

“Mmph! Let go!”

Ada planted a hand on Luke’s forehead and pushed his face away, her chest rising and falling.

“There’s someone right beside us, you bastard!”

“Oh, so if no one were here, then we could...”

Ada suddenly leaned in and bit Luke on the neck.

“Hiss!”

Cats had a habit of scratching when you pushed them too far.

Luke knew that better than most.

Ellie scoffed again.

Shameless couple!

She was never going to date a man like that.

No.

Forget men altogether!

Still...

How had this guy managed to find such a beautiful woman?

She was almost unfairly attractive.

Ellie’s gaze shifted toward Ada’s face.

Ada’s appeal went without saying.

She was one of the most captivating women in the Resident Evil series. Cool, aloof, mysterious, and perfectly capable of leading Leon around like a puppy on a leash.

And now...

Luke had somehow gotten her too!

With his sharp perception, Luke naturally noticed where Ellie was looking.

Maybe it was because she hadn’t encountered many decent men during her journey, but Ellie was highly guarded around men. Her preferences were still developing, and they seemed to be drifting toward women.

(This story isn’t actually going yuri.)

Ellie:

[Curiosity]

[Affection - Ada]

[Indignation - Ada]

Well, well.

This was interesting.

Luke pinched Ada’s cheek.

“Done biting me? Then it’s my turn.”

He leaned toward Ada’s ear and gently caught her earlobe between his lips.

Ada immediately tensed, shifting from sitting normally to crossing one leg over the other.

Ellie stared the entire time, the tips of her ears slowly turning red.

She wasn’t looking at Luke at all.

Her eyes stayed fixed entirely on Ada.
