Gabriel pov

"Im Omid." The man said with a smile. I looked over at the woman, holding back my surprise to finding out she was pregnant. She had a neutral expression and my guess was she wasn't going to reveal her name unless I revealed mine. That's fair. Her husband already told me his name.

"I'm Gabriel, pleasure to meet you." I said with a small smile. Omid smiled at me and looked up at his wife who crossed her arms.

"I'm Christa." She had a flat tone to her voice. She sounded like she didn't want to be here and well I couldn't blame her. Kenny wasn't fun to be around at the moment. "What's the deal with the train?"

"We're taking it to Savanna. You can come along if you'd like?" I suggested, motioning to the open track that laid under the bridge.

"Oh MAN." Omid gawked at the offer, making Christa smile and shake her head.

"We could use some good people, you don't many of them nowadays." Lee said.

"But not to bullshit you." I started. "We've had a fucked up day today. We had a bite victim and the kids mom took her life. Before that it was..." I trailed on as I recalled the events of today, the motor inn, the supplies, Lilly getting kicked out. Geese everything is fucked today.

"It's ok." Christa softly said with a sympathetic expression. I nodded in thanks for understanding the bad day we've had.

"Oh wow. Oh my gosh you guys have a kid." Omid yelled excitedly as Clementine came up the ladder and up onto the bridge with us. I looked down at the girl with a smirk and shook my head. Most kids wouldn't want to make that climb. Though Clem is not most kids.

"What are you doing up here?" Lee asked. Before Clementine could answer though Omid interrupted.

"Damn do you know how long it's been since I've seen a kid? Damn, what's your name?" He sounded really excited to see a kid, and actually truthfully excited. Omid didn't seem the type to snatch kids and take them to his, "secret basement." However that didn't stop my joke from slipping.

"Last time I saw anyone so excited to see a kid was on "To catch a predator."" I smirked after I finished the joke but Omid wasn't very happy about it. Omid turned and gave me a glare which only made me laugh a little harder. Lee shook his head but a small smile was on his face. Clementine was just confused.

"What's that?" She asked. Her eyes were full of innocents as in guessing she's never watched the show. I was about to answer when Christa cut me off.

"Nothing you need to know about sweetie." She glared at me as she finished her sentence. I raised my hands in a surrender motion but that didn't stop the smile from sticking to my face my honey.

"My name is Clementine." Clem spoke proudly as she took a step forward next to me.

"Oh so he gets to swear?" Lee asked while pointing to Omid. I looked at Lee and Clem questioningly. Was this some joke I didn't understand? Yeah probably.

"This is great. See, things are looking up." Omid said with a smile. Christa looked at Lee and Clem, shaking her head and than looking at me.

"Are you her dad?" She asked. My eyes widened a little bit and I shook my head.

"No I'm not, do I really look like it?" I asked. I looked at myself and Clem to see if there were any similarities. Surprisingly there were some. While Clem is still young she has a similar skin tone to me, and nose structure. My hair matched hers and we both had the same color eyes. Ok maybe we looked similar.

"You both just seem similar, are you her cousin or something?" Christa asked. Again I shook my head.

"Not related at all, actually." I said with a shrug.
