The sound of a fetus crying rang through Jesse's ears. Rick had lost it

"Let me see the baby" Hershel said. Maggie handed Carl his little sister

"What are we gonna feed it?" Daryl asked as Carl walked over to Hershel. "We got anything a baby can eat?"

"The good news is she looks healthy. But she needs formula. And soon or she won't survive" Hershel explained

"Nope. No way. Not her. We ain't losing nobody else. I'm going for a run" Daryl said

"I'll back you up" Maggie said

"I'll go, too" Glenn said

"Okay, think where we're going. Beth" Daryl said calling her over to talk to her. Glenn was trying to avoid the fact that Camila was dead, while Jesse was still processing it












Jesse and Glenn were currently digging. Sweat dripping down their faces. Jesse could see that Glenn was struggling

"We should talk about it" Jesse said

"Talk about what? There's nothing to talk about" Glenn replied

"Don't be like that" Jesse said. Glenn turned to Jesse angrily

"Be like what?! There's nothing wrong! I'm fine!" Glenn yelled

"She's dead.. Cami is dead" Jesse told him which resulted in Glenn punching Jesse. So Jesse punched him back. The two got into a fight, which Jesse won. Like, Glenn literally got his ass beat. Jesse was ontop of Glenn as he restrained him. Jesse could see the tears roll down Glenn's face

"It's not fair.." He cried out. Jesse nodded and closed his eyes sadly

"I know" He said















Daryl and Maggie had returned with formula and other baby supplies. The fetus was crying until Daryl began feeding her. Maggie stood over beside Jesse, and he wrapped an arm around her. Her head resting on his chest. It was weird to see Daryl all soft like that. He really looked like a dad. He seemed so proud of himself too

"She got a name yet?" Daryl asked Carl

"Not yet. But I was thinking maybe Sophia. Then there's Carol, too. Or Cami.. and Andrea. Amy. Jacqui. Patricia. Or.. Lori. I don't know" Carl said sadly

"You like that, little ass-kicker?" Daryl asked the fetus. Everyone smiled at the name. "Right? That's a good name, right? Little ass-kicker. You like that, huh? You like that, sweetheart?














Everyone was eating breakfast. Rick had finally returned

"Everybody okay?" He asked

"Yeah, we are" Maggie said. Axel and Oscar were allowed to join the group. Rick walked over to everyone else

"What about you?" Hershel asked

"I cleared out the boiler block" Rick said

"How many were there?" Daryl asked

"I don't know. A dozen, two dozen. I have to get back. Just wanted to check on Carl" Rick said

"Rick, we can handle taking out the bodies. You don't have to" Glenn said
