The sun went down and everyone gathered at the table. Delilah didn't particularly want to but she had to be there for everyone. She helped set the table and Dale insisted on helping her. More people started showing up and sitting down.
"They should've been back by now." Andrea announced, walking into the dining room with Shane.
"Yeah. They just got holed up somewhere. We'll head out first thing in the morning." Shane said taking a seat. Delilah passed the food around as it came to her. Daryl wasn't there and she figured he wouldn't. Carol called for Lori for dinner and Maggie said she wasn't in the room Carol thought she was.
"Where is she?" Dale asked worryingly.
"Carl, when's the last time you saw your mom?" Shane asked him.
"This afternoon." He answered.
"She was worried about Rick, asked me to look in on Carl." Andrea said. Delilah furrowed her eyebrows.
"So she went after them?" Delilah asked.
"She didn't say that." Andrea shrugged.
"Nobody panic. Gotta be around here somewhere." Shane got up.
"Let's all look then." Delilah got up and left the house behind Shane. Delilah started heading towards the stables and found nothing. She regrouped with Andrea and Dale after she searched.
"She's not by the barn." Shane announced, walking towards them.
"Checked the yards." Tdog said, walking next to Shane.
"Not at the stables either." Delilah told them.
"Well, where is she?" Carl asked with distress in his voice.
"She asked Daryl to go into town. Must've gone herself." Carol rushed over to them.
"Really?" Delilah asked, raising her eyebrows and crossing her arms. Delilah thought about what could happen. She's pregnant and she's out there risking her and her baby's life. If Rick and Glenn ran into trouble then she'll walk right into it. Delilah glanced at Shane knowing he's thinking the same thing she was.
"Did you know about this?" Shane asked Delilah.
"No, my brother wanted to be left alone." Delilah denied. Shane sighed and stormed off towards the car.
"Hey, let me go with you." She stopped him and he shook his head.
"Rick put us in charge, you stay here." Shane said, closing the car door. Delilah watched him drive off. She shook her head and closed her eyes looking to the floor. She took a deep breath and decided to go to Daryl's camp.
Daryl was sitting on the ground and staring at nothing. She stood in front of him and crossed her arms.
"You didn't help Lori or at least stop her from going out to find Rick?" She asked and Daryl looked up at her.
"I'm tired of being everyone's bitch. Something goes wrong they always come to me. Ya know, I almost died for that girl and no one gave a shit. She was in that barn the whole damn time!" He got up to her level and raised his voice.
"I'm here! I'm always here and I care. Why do you always act like this? Like I'm nonexistent to you. I understand what's going on right now but that is no way to act. You couldn't have told us she was going?" Delilah snapped.
"She looked like she had it handled." He growled her and she furrowed her eyebrows.
"Daryl, she's pregnant." Delilah said and Daryl looked at her confused.
"I'm the only one in the group that knows besides Rick, Glenn, Dale, and Shane." She sighed and stormed off she sat on the farms steps and waited a half an hour.
She looked up when the car Shane took pulled in front of the farm. Delilah rushed over and saw Lori come out of the car beaten up. Andrea rushed over to see if she was okay. Lori explained it was an accident and Shane was saying she was attacked. Lori asked for Rick and Shane slowly walked away.
"They're not back?" Lori asked and everyone looked at her in silence.
"Where are they?" She asked.
"Look, I had to get you back here." Shane said and Lori came after him.
"First things first I gotta look after you, I gotta make sure the baby is okay." Shane said out in the open. Delilah watched Shane and he did care about Lori. She felt a form of jealousy overwhelm her.
"You're having a baby!?" Carl came up from behind them.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Carl asked and Lori stuttered. Shane sighed and shook his head.
"Come on. Let's make sure you're alright." Dale led Lori inside the house.
Delilah stayed outside and waited for them to come back. She sat on one of the chairs on the porch and hugged her knees to her chest. She waited two hours and they were still gone. It was late at night and some people have already gone to sleep. Delilah felt her eyes get heavy but it quickly changed when the front door opened. Shane walked out slowly and laughed at her.
"What?" She smiled, rubbing her eyes.
"You're really going to fall asleep out here?" He sat in the chair next to her.
"No..." She shook her head and yawned.
"Uh huh, sure." Shane joked and Delilah glared at him.
"Shut up." She nudged his arm playfully. There was a moment of silence.
"Is Lori okay?" Delilah asked softly and he nodded.
"She'll be okay." Shane said and she gave him a slight smile.
"I-I can't. I care about her if she could possibly be carrying my kid...but I can't love her." Shane answered and Delilah furrowed her brows.
"Why?" She asked softly.
"She's not mine. I realize that now." Shane said and Delilah felt a weight lifted off her chest.
"Princess? Are you okay?" He asked after a couple minutes of silence.
"Yeah." She smiled at him.
They both sat there for a while. Shane wondered why she wasn't saying anything and he leaned forward and looked at her. She was asleep. He got up and went in the house and grabbed a blanket. He covered we with the blanket. He admired her for a second and looked around before kissing her on the forehead.
