Two weeks after the tragic death of Rosita, Maggie found out she was pregnant again, adding to the growing Rhee-family
9 months later:
Maggie had given birth to a healthy baby-girl, with the help of Dr. Zahn, who had moved to the Hilltop from the Commonwealth. Glenn had been there the entire, time while Elijah and Lydia had looked after the other children.
“It’s a healthy girl” Dr. Zahn announced as he handed the baby over to Maggie. “Congratulations”
“You’re just so incredible with this, baby” Glenn told his wife. “Once again you’ve done so much”
“Hurt a little bit more this time, but she is worth it” Maggie replied looking at her little baby-girl, with tears in her eyes.
“Got any name-ideas for her yet?” he asked her.
“My mom. I want to honor my mom. And stepmom. I want to honor her as well” she told him.
“Josephine and Annette?”
Josephine had been Hershel’s first wife and Maggie’s mother, and after she had died, he had married Annette, who had been the mother of Shawn and Beth.
“Josephine Annette Rhee?”
“Josephine Annette Yunseo Rhee” Maggie corrected him.
This hit deep.
Yunseo, or Yoon-seo, was Glenn’s mother. A koren immigrant from Canada, she and her husband, Jae-geun, eventually ended up in Michigan, where Glenn and his sisters were raised. Glenn never learned what happened to them, but he long presumed that they died within the first year of apocalypse. He had told Maggie about her, notably how she liked classical music and Italian food, but also how much she missed her old country of South Korea.
“I think it’s only reasonable to name this little bundle of joy after all her three grandmothers, right?” she asked him
“Right” Glenn said back, holding back tears and coming over to his wife to give her a kiss.
Soon Elijah and Lydia brought the Hershel, Daryl Shawn, Beth Sasha and Adam into the room, and the news of healthy baby circled around the communities. In the following weeks, Rick, Michonne, Judith and RJ, alongside the rest of the wider group came by to see the new addition to their future.
