~Aurora's Pov~

I saw Maggie, Michonne and Carl step inside, the gunfire stopped a few minutes ago and I was worried since no ones come in to check on us or tell us what was going on. I sighed feeling relieved and went up to Carl, He let go of Michonne and came over to me, we hugged. "I thought you were in there. I got scared." He said holding me. "No, No I was in here taking care of Judith when it started." I said as we pulled away, "What happened? Are you okay?" I asked looking at Michonne, She nodded as Maggie helped sit her down on a bench, "Yeah, I hurt my ankle out there." She said looking at me. I nodded a bit and looked at Carl, "I'm gonna go look for dad and Olly." I said and took a step back, starting to make my way towards the door. "No- Rory." Carl said grabbing my arm quickly, stopping me. "Dad said not to get close to him." He said. I looked back at him, "Why? What're you talking about?" I asked as he let me go.

"What happened?" I asked. He nodded, "Everyone who went in there's okay but there were walkers in the cell block." He said looking at me. I shook my head, "How?" I asked, "People got sick, they turned." He said nodding a bit. I kept looking at him, trying to read him but he looked okay. I knew he talked to some other kids in that cell block. "How many..?" Beth asked, holding Judith. "We don't know yet. But he said we should keep our distance to whoever was in that cell block." Carl said to all of us.

~Later on that same day~

Beth laughed a bit as Judith threw a red plastic cup at the wall. "She's got a good throwin' arm." She said making me laugh too. "Yeah she does." I said smiling at Judith. She pointed at the cup by the wall while sucking on the rim of the other cup she had. She turned to me as if she was saying "look what I did!". "Yeah you did that." I laughed looking at her. "Hey," We looked over to see Maggie, she walked in and sat down on the bed, looking down at us. We were sitting on the floor with Judith. "How're you two doin'?" She asked as I handed Judith another cup. She took it and started hitting them together. "We're fine," Beth replied.

"Daddy went in that cell block to.." Maggie said looking at Beth, I looked at both of them. "I know," She said after a second. "We have to stay away from him and Oliver. All of us. He was exposed too." Maggie said looking at me too. She gave me a nod and I returned it, looking away from her to Judith. "Just until we know it's safe for us to be around them again." She said. "Why did daddy have to go? Dr. S could've gone and we could've been with daddy right now." Beth said upset. "They're the only doctors we have, we need to know what's going on so they can treat it." She said.

"Rory," We looked over to see Carl standing there, looking at me. "Sorry- I'm gonna go talk to dad.. I don't know if you wanna see him.." He said. I shook my head after taking a few seconds to think about it. "Beth and I take care of Judith the most, I don't wanna risk it.." I said. He nodded a bit, "Alright," He said and looked at Judith too. "Just tell him I'm glad he got out of there okay. But I'm worried about him." I requested. He nodded a bit, "He knows, but I'll tell him." He said nodding. I returned the nod and he walked away from the cell.

I looked over to Maggie and Beth, "They'll be okay," Beth reassured. I nodded looking at her. "Can we talk about something else..? I don't want this to be on my mind right now.. I'm already worried." I said looking at them both. Beth nodded a bit, "Alright let's talk about.." She trailed off, thinking about another topic to talk about. "You and Oliver." Maggie spoke out. I looked at her to see a smile on her face. "Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask you but I didn't know how to bring it up." Beth said, I looked over to see she had a smile on her face too.

"I- okay. This isn't fair." I said looking at Judith, trying to avoid eye contact. "What isn't?" Maggie laughed a bit. "You two teaming up on me!" I said smiling. "We were gonna have to talk about this sooner or later." Maggie said, I looked back at her. "I already talked to Olly. I was gonna talk to you earlier but then this happened before I could get to you." She said, the smile still on her face. I sighed through my nose looking at her. "So? What's going on?" She asked.

"I don't know.. It's been flirty.." I said looking back down at Judith. "I care about him," I said, "He cares about you too." She said. I nodded a bit watching Judith. "Are you two together?" Beth asked looking at me. I shook my head, "No, But-" I cut myself off. I don't know how they'd feel about me and Oliver, or at least me talking about what happened between us. "He told me you two kissed yesterday for the first time, is that true?" Maggie asked. I closed my eyes and put my head in my hands quickly, feeling myself blush which caused them to laugh. "Aww," Beth said smiling.

"I'll take that as a yes. I'm all for you two." Maggie said smiling too. I smiled too and looked up sighing. "Does your dad know? Carl?" Beth asked. I shook my head looking over to her, "I didn't think he'd tell you so quick." I said looking at Maggie, "We've all noticed, I just wanted to be sure. I asked at the right time." Maggie said. I shook my head and sighed again. "I need to tell my dad though.." I said. "Whenever you're ready. Does our daddy know?" Beth asked looking at Maggie. She shook her head. "No, it's just us for now." Maggie said. Beth and I nodded, "If he doesn't treat you right let me know, I'll happily slap some sense into him." Maggie said making us laugh.

"He will." Beth said looking at me, "He has been.. Ever since I met him at your farm." I said looking at them both.
