Christa's baby - A theory
I've had a disturbing thought concerning what may have happened to Christa's baby. It's almost certainly dead, but how it might have died has been bugging me lately. I started to think about how Christa was acting towards Clementine after S2E1's prologue. She was distant, maybe just because of the Omid situation, but maybe because of something else as well.
Also, think about some of the major decisions in Season 1. Choosing whether to kill Duck or let Kenny do it, same with Fivel, and of course choosing whether to have Clem kill or leave Lee. I think Telltale might just be crazy enough to make one of the most important decisions of Season 2 happen off screen. What if Clementine killed Christa's baby?
Ok, hear me out. Maybe they simply couldn't take care of it as well as themselves. More likely, the baby got infected or simply died of natural causes. Whatever happened, my theory (part 1) is that something happened to the baby that resulted in the pair having to kill it for good. I don't think Christa would be able to do it. Theory part 2 is that, depending on the decisions you made as Lee in season 1 and how you influenced Clementine, they decide to either leave the baby, or Clem made sure "it doesn't come back", out of mercy and pity for Christa. Who wants their baby to become a zombie?
I know that this may seem like a far-fetched theory but my thinking behind it is the fact that we know nothing at all about the fate of Christa's baby, and it just feels like Telltale is setting us up for some major heartbreak. Another reason is the fact that Clem seems quite cold and dark this season, and it feels like most of her innocence has been lost. Killing a baby would certainly be a good reason behind that. There's a rumour that Melissa Hutchison cried during recording for Ep4. And Rebecca probably gives birth in this episode. Maybe Clem reveals what happened, and it probably won't be pretty.
Just a theory, might not be right, but I feel it would be dark and devastating enough for a Telltale episode, and would give some major character development to Clem. Having a huge decision happen off screen, depending on your S1 choices, could be kind of awesome and shocking as well.

We can talk about what happened Christa's baby . But it won't end , cos we know nothing or we got any clue ...I always tell you , Rebecca might die when giving birth and Christa is gonna take care of Rebecca's baby when we find her.. That's my theory .
It's a cool theory but I don't know about Clem killing the baby. If I had to kill a baby then it would just completely destroy me. Although Clem's been living in a zombie apocalypse for 2 years I still I think we would have seen a much darker Clem if she had killed a baby.
Damn... I can't imagine Clem or Christa having to put down a child. If they do reveal something like this, I would just feel terrible that Clem had to do it.
Well, I sound horrible, but someone had to kill it for good (after it died, of course).
Imagine what a stillbirth would be like in a zombie apocalypse. You feel the baby coming, and then it turns out it never was alive. A walker baby that has been dead for almost 4-5 months, but (thank god) hasn't teeth yet. But if even walker fluids can kill you (I imagine the bite just spreads the salvia, which contains the virus or whatever, a tad like rabies), you would die before giving birth to the child.
So, I think the baby indeed survived the birth, but it never stood a chance. Maybe it was sick, or weak, or needed to much food, or all of that. A ZA is no surrounding for a baby, and I think it just died of hunger or suffocation due to wrong sleeping positions (I don't know if that myth is real).
And then it was the choice of who to kill it between a 9 year old girl or a grieving mother that just lost her husband.
My question is, where is Christa anyway? I know Clem and her got spit up but did she die? I wonder if they'll meet back up sooner or later.
I think it's almost certain that we will meet Christa. The whole point of leaving her and searching for her would go to waste otherwise.
If we do meet her it should be at Wellington because almost anywhere else would seem too cliche for me...
Never played Dead space? Killing a zombie baby is like taking out the trash.
It probably starved to death, it isn't like there's baby food or Christa has enough health to produce milk. It was clearly born too cuz I doubt Christa and Clem could've c-sectioned her if the baby had been stillborn.... so yeah, it probably was born and died just due to the nature of things. It also was probably loud and walkers attracted it. But I do feel they're going to talk about what happened with Christa's baby when Rebecca has hers.
Wellington is another name for Savannah.
I'm 99% sure it's dead but if it died, I don't think Christa would have just left her own baby to turn into a walker. Hopefully they'll explain not just how it died, but what happened to it after
I got a theory about the baby too.
It didn't die. It was just lost and Christa and Clementine think that it's dead. But eventually, baby was found by Maybelle the Cow! Yes, it's alive. It even grew goddamn shotguns with infinite ammo on its horns. But most of all, Maybelke gained the power of AWESOMENESS. Its the strongest power ever! The cow shared it with the baby. They found poor dead Sam and mourned by his corpse. But their AWESOMENESS resurrected him. Sam gained his powers too and they made the best goddamn team!
Many people think that Carver was awfully portrayed in Episode 3 comparing to Episode 2. But it wasn't him! It was his stupid defective clone. Real Carver joined the Awesome Team on their adventures. His heart filled with joy, happiness and AWESOMENESS, so Carver became the part if the team and fulfilled his lifetime wish. He was finally happy and he left his clone to deal with everything else.
They reached Wellington and amazed everyone with their AWESOMENESS so the Awesome Team became the leader of Wellington. They made this place AWESOME and the best one to survive. Their waves of AWESOMENESS traveled through the whole world, inviting every human being to their AWESOME CAMP. So, in the end of the Season, Clementine and her group will reach Wellington and find out that this is the most AWESOME place they've seen! Kenny's eye and Sarita's hand will heal, everyone from the group who was dead will get back to life, and finally, Rebecca will give birth to Carver's baby, who was an AWESOME archangel, so Rebecca's baby will be called the Prophet of AWESOMENESS!
like dis if you cry everytiem
I posted a thread like this months ago, but your theory is more sound than mine was. For that, have my like.
Some people don't like taking out the trash Lol.
rofl
Some people make a career out of it.
LOL Touche George, touche.
And Wellington is #BoatSeason2 but there could be a few survivors there and christa could be one, we'll see....
Going to Michigan there will be death.
RIP Most of the group
I wouldn't be able to kill a live baby. If it was a crazy alien zombie baby trying to kill me then maybe.
Well, if the baby did indeed die it turned into a zombie; so yes, you would be justified in killing said baby. Self defense...
Good point. Still, its not a nice thing to think about XD
There is one theory that I think you guys missed. What if Clem accidentally killed it while it was alive. Similarly to how Lizzy almost killed Judith on the show. Say Christa was out and Clem was watching the baby and some walkers appeared. Clem grabs baby, baby doesn't like it and starts to cry. Clem is a little girl and only knows one way to quiet a baby. She puts her hand over the baby's mouth and it suffocates on accident. Plausible, I would say. Sad; guaranteed.
Yeah... not a very pleasant thought. But just think even if it was a baby, could it actually kill you? I mean, it doesn't have teeth and it cannot run, as inhumane as it sounds I couldn't let an infant suffer that way.
mothers milk just need a little food
But the mother also didn't have enough food, and I dont think there was fake mother milk around
