"Rory are you coming down?" Carl asked stepping into my cell. I didn't feel like getting up. He walked and stood in front of me but I didn't look at him. "We made breakfast, are you hungry?" He asked, I closed my eyes. He kept looking at me worried, unsure of what to do. ".. Do you want me to bring you some?" He asked, stepping closer to the bed. I felt numb, I didn't want to do anything. I didn't wanna get up, I didn't want to eat, I just wanted to sleep. He sat down and looked at the wall. "Do you wanna see the baby?" He asked, trying to get me to talk. I kept my eyes closed. There was silence for a few seconds, "What do I do?" He asked looking down at me. This happened to me when Shane told us about my dad back in Atlanta. I just shut down.

Mom was the one who was able to snap me out of it but she wasn't here anymore. And my dad was still down there. He came up for a shower and that was it, he went back down. "What do you need- what-" he said and looked down at me. "-what do you need me to do?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows confused. I didn't answer but I opened my eyes. I looked at the wall again. He put his hand on my arm, "Please? I don't know what to do." He said looking down at me. He stayed silent, waiting. "Aurora?" he asked. I closed my eyes again. He looked away from me then stood up, taking his hand off me. He looked at me again and leaned down, kissing my head. "I love you.." He said and walked out of the cell.

The days were getting harder now that she wasn't here, It felt like i've been crying forever. Now I was just numb.. But I miss my mom. I miss seeing her, I missed talking to her.. I missed everything.

~~~

I woke up feeling a hand on my arm, I saw it was Beth. She set a plate and a cup down on the table attached to the wall. "Thought you might be hungry.." She said turning back to me. I looked at the plate then back at her, "Rick came up to check on you, but you were sleeping. He didn't wanna wake you up.." She said sitting down on the bed again, the same place Carl sat a while ago. She looked at me and I looked at her. "Baby's fine, Daryl and Maggie found formula, some bottles, clothes- Oh and Daryl brought her back a doll so she has a toy to play with now. He nicknamed her Little Ass Kicker.." She said giving me a soft smile.

She was trying to get me to talk too. "You want some water?" She asked and grabbed the cup from the table. I looked at the cup, "Sit up, I don't want you to choke." She said scooting away from me slightly.

I looked at her. "Sit, you don't have to talk to me. Just drink some water.. You're worrying us." She said. I swallowed the lump in my throat and slowly sat up. She looked at me and handed me the cup. I grabbed it and drank some, closing my eyes. She tucked some hair back behind my ear as I stopped drinking. I looked down at the cup, "Thank you.." I whispered. She gave me a soft smile, " 'course.." She said and took the cup. She put it back down on the table then sat back down, I looked at my hands and she held them.

I held them back, "You can always talk to me.." She said. I looked at her and she nodded, " 'bout anythin'." She said softly. I looked down at our hands. "You know that right?" She asked. I nodded, "I know.. Thanks." I said, She nodded a bit and let go of my hands, she grabbed the bowl. "Eat, I'll come back later with the baby." She said handing me the plate. I took it and looked at it. "Okay.." I said softly. We heard footsteps coming up and we looked over to see Daryl. He popped in the cell. "Alright." She said and walked out of the cell, leaving me alone. I scooter over and leaned against the wall looking at Daryl.

"Hey." he said. I looked down at the plate and put it by my legs. "Hi," I said. He put his crossbow down and looked at me. "Talk to Carl. You're scarin' him," he said. I looked over to him, at his crossbow. He looked down at it then back at me. "You want me to teach you how to use it?" he asked. I looked over to him. "You're gonna have to get out of here. Outside." He said. I looked away from him and he looked down at the floor.

".. I lost my mom too. When I was a kid." he said. I looked over to him after a second, "I didn't really have anyone to lean on but you do. Don't coop yourself up." He said and grabbed his crossbow. I rested my head on the wall looking at him. "Alright?" he asked, adjusting his grip on the bow. I nodded a bit. "Yeah.." i said softly. He nodded, chewing on the inside of his cheeks then walked out of my cell. I sighed hearing his footsteps echo as he went down to the lower level. I couldn't even see my mom.. I don't know where she was, Carl didn't tell me what happened and neither did Maggie.

~~~

I finally stepped down today. I didn't want to but I wanted to see the baby. "Hey," Beth said as I walked up to her, Maggie, Glenn and Oliver. I looked around noticing that Carl and Daryl weren't here. "They're checking out the lower level." Glenn said I looked back at him. "Oh.." I said and looked back at the baby. Oliver stood up, clearing a space for me next to Beth. I walked over to her and she handed me the baby. "She still doesn't have a name yet, Do you have any in mind?" Beth asked, I shook my head. "No," i said looking at her as she slept

I smiled a bit looking at her, she was really cute. "We're about to head out on a run. Get more formula for your sister." Glenn said loading up his gun, I looked back at him. It sounded weird hearing him say Sister.

He looked up at me then over at Maggie, confused. "What?" He asked looking back at me. I shook my head, "Nothing.. I just-" i said looking back down at the baby. "I have a baby sister.." I said softly.
