Rick's drive...

I gave Carl Judith and waved goodbye. We'll be back soon. I said as Carl nodded. I took the gas can I put it in the RV. Let's chew up some asphalt! Abraham shouted as for us that means get in. Maggie went in first followed by Glenn, Abraham, Daryl then me then I shut the door an then I started driving away to Hilltop. I saw Maggie fall asleep in the back on to Glenn's shoulder. As he placed his hand on her slight noticeable stomach. Then I heard Abraham say something to Glenn. Hey. Can I ask you a question? Abraham said as they both leaned in to each other. Sure. Glenn replied. When you were, uh, pouring the Bisquick, were you trying to make pancakes? Abraham asked as Michonne and I laughed. But they didn't hear us. Uh... yes? Oh okay umm... it's something that we talked about, yeah. Why? Glenn asked. No, I just... well, given the precarious state of affairs on any given Sunday, I am damn near floored that you or anyone else would have the cojones to make a call like that. Abraham said. I mean, well... we're trying to build something, me an her. All of us. Glenn replied. Then I saw something in the road as a huge car crash. Yo, Rick. What's going on? Daryl said from the back. Crash ahead looked like it just happened. I said as Jesus jumped up. It's one of ours. Jesus said then moved to the door to open it. We all got out. Come on my people are in trouble. Jesus said frantically. If this is a trick it won't end well for you. I said holding a gun at him. We don't have very many fighters at all. I know how it looks but I'll play it out. Jesus replied. Can I borrow a gun? Jesus asked. No. We got tracks right here. Daryl said. Come on. Well go get them. Your staying here with one of us. I said as looked at him. That's the deal. Michonne said as I got out handcuffs. Will you stay? Glenn asked Maggie. Yeah sure. Y'all go just be careful. Maggie replied. Yeah we will. As I handcuffed Jesus. Just hurry please. Jesus asked. Hear me whistle shoot him I said to Maggie. I will. Maggie replied getting out her gun. Then we all went in. To find some of the hilltops people. We found four people. One woman and three men. Then we ran back into the RV and turns out one was some type of doctor. I saw him going through his stuff in the back with Maggie and Glenn.
In the back of the RV.
Name's Harlan, by the way.
Maggie. That's my husband, Glenn.
We're bringing back some medication so you may have saved more people than just us back there, Glenn.
Your a doctor?
Yeah, that's right.
You have any prenatal vitamins in there?
Harlan smiled at Maggie. An so did she.
For you?
Mm-hmm.
Well, uh, I was an obstetrician before, and I most definitely owe you. So, I'd say you two just hit the jackpot.
Then we drove in mud an then we got stuck in mud. Once we got to hilltop we all got out of the RV. We all walked to the hug wooden gate.
Stop right there! A man said coming from the gates. You gonna make us? Daryl asked as we all put our guns up.
Jesus, what the hell is this? Another man said with a spear in his hand. Open the gates Cal. These are good people and our people. As they did. I trust you people trust us. Jesus said. We walked into this huge place with a mansion inside. Farming, a blacksmith. That's called the Barrington House. That's were Gregory is. Jesus said. Pointing to the mansion. Come on I'll show you inside Jesus said as we all walked in. It was beautiful. Wow. Maggie said looking at the high ceilings. Good gracious, Ignatius. Abraham said. We all stared around. Then we heard a door open.
Jesus your back... with guests. The man said. Everyone, this is Gregory. He keeps things running around here. Jesus said.
I'm the boss. He man said. Well I'm Rick we— I started then Gregory interrupted me. Why don't y'all go get cleaned up, hmm then we'll talk. Gregory smirked. We're fine. Maggie argued. I'm not really asking you sweetheart. It's really hard to keep this place clean. Gregory said getting close to my face. Yeah, sure. I agreed as I rolled my eyes. I'll show you where the bathrooms are. Jesus said as we all headed upstairs. I was walking beside Maggie. You clean up first. You talk to him. I said. Why? She asked. I made a disgust face. I shouldn't. I said as we continued walking up the stairs. A little while past an I saw Maggie go into Gregory's office. She'll get it done. Glenn said as we looked over the stair well. Yeah I know hopefully sooner or later. I said back. Maggie came back with slamming the door. How'd it go? Jesus asked her. He's a corword an a fuckin' asshole for a leader. How in the hell have y'all lasted this long? Damn near blows my mind. Maggie said frustrated. Look Jesus we need food, we came all this way, we're gonna get it. I said looking up at him. I will talk to him and we will work this out an just give me a few more hours. And to answer your question Maggie he wasn't really the leader we would have all chosen. Jesus replied. Fine. I said as we headed back to the RV that some of hilltops people got unstuck. Then I felt someone say my name. I turned around to see it was Glenn. Hey Rick. Dr. Harlan promised Maggie an I something before we go. While you guys get ready, Maggie and I could do our thing. Glenn asked. I smiled. Sure thang I have to wait until we get food cause we're getting it today. I said as Glenn agreed. Then Maggie called Glenn over to Harlan's trailer.
(Inside the trailer)
Hey sorry in advance Gregory is a prick. Harlan said. Yeah I know. Maggie smirked. Glenn laughed. He'll be a dead man if he says anythin more to me. Maggie said sliding up on a examination table. Nervous? Harlan asked. Glenn an Maggie both nodded. Is this one y'all's first? He asked. Yes well with the early stages. But we have two girls at home, Enid and Kathleen. Glenn replied as Maggie smiled. Great. But so first one together? Harlan said nodding his head. Maggie lifted up her shirt slightly as Harlan pressed gel and a promoter on her. She grabbed onto Glenn's hand. Then he turned on the machine. They became curious until they all heard a surrounding heart beat go through the trailer. Glenn an Maggie froze. They looked at the small screen on the machine. Glenn an Maggie both shed a tear. Minutes later they were done. Hey make sure to come back soon an feel free to bring your girls. I'll give them a check up if you like. Oh an Maggie here take these. Harlan said then smiled as he handed Maggie prenatal vitamins. Thank you. For everythin. Maggie said smiling. Then we headed back home. While Glenn and Maggie where doing there thing Jesus and Rick convinced Gregory to give them half of there food, exchange for people working at the hilltop part time. On the way back home Maggie an Glenn looked at there ultrasound photo of there three in half month old fetus growing healthy. They showed everyone in the RV. The thought of bringing life into the world again even after Judith brought the group joy an happiness towards others even Daryl. He smiled for once because it was once in a life time anyone saw it.
