Everyone was sitting around in the living room waiting for rick,Shane,Glen and Daryl to come back. Addy was starting to fuss again cause a few others to look towards her and Maggie as Maggie struggled to keep her calm.

Andrea stared at her for a few seconds then stood up determined "I'm going after them." Lori tries to stop her "don't, they could be anywhere. And if Randal comes back, we're gonna need you here." Andrea looked back at her "well I'm not gonna sit here why addy gets more upset. They've been gone long enough."

Before anyone could say anything else, they hear the screen door open. Maggie is the first to make her way towards the door in hopes of it being rick. When she catch's sight of Daryl and Glenn walking into the room she sighs deeply.

Daryl looks her way and down at addy who was looking at him with tears streaming down her face. He gently whipped at the tears but the just kept falling as he addressed the group "rick and Shane ain't back?"

Lori was the first to answer "no." Daryl frowned "we heard a shot." As soon as he said that addy started fully crying again. Daryl was quick to pick her up out of Maggie's arms and shushed her gently. It was a weird sight for everyone but they knew he had a soft spot for her.

Addy clung tightly to his vest as her cries subsided slightly. Lori ignored addy and said "maybe they found Randal." Daryl shook his head "we found him." Maggie stayed close, ready to take addy back as she asked "is he back in the shed?" Daryl replied "he's a walker."

Hershel stepped forward "did you find the walker that bit him?" This time Glenn answered "no... the weird thing is, he wasn't bit." Daryl finished "his neck was broken" Patricia spoke up "so he caught back..."

Daryl frowned "the thing is, Shane and randal's tracks were right on top of each other. And Shane ain't no tracker, so he didn't come up behind him. They were together." Addy tightened her grip on Daryl and snuggled her head in his shoulder, trying to find some sort of comfort without her daddy.

Daryls attention was turned to addy but Lori rushed up to him "would you please get back out there and find Rick and Shane? And find out what on earth is going on?" Daryl nodded and turned to Maggie to hand addy back over. It was a little difficult because addy didn't want to let go.

Lori rolled her eyes and roughly ripped addy's little hands from daryl's vest. Everyone was about to react when they saw this but Daryl held his hands up while Maggie cradled addy protectively, glaring at Lori. "Wow, wow. Calm down. Everyone. I'll be back soon." He brushed his hand over addy's head while shaking his head at Lori in disapproval.

Daryl, Andrea and Glen were the first ones out the front but what they saw horrified them. The others were quick to follow and noticed the sight. Hershel quickly whispered "Patricia, kill the lights." As Maggie walked out with a sobbing addy. Andrea turned back to the house "I'll get the guns."

Glenn tried to help Maggie calm addy down so she wouldn't attract the walkers more while saying "maybe they'll just pass like the herd on the highway. Should we just go inside?" Daryl shook his head "no unless there's a tunnel downstairs I don't know about. A herd that size will rip the house down."

Lori stepped forward glaring at addy "would you just shut her up. She's gonna get us killed. It's probably her fault their here with all that damn crying." Daryl turned and glared at her harshly, causing her to shut her mouth. And go back inside.

Daryl took addy from Maggie which helped to get addy to be more quiet as she cuddled into him tightly. A couple of seconds later Lori runs back out to them, out of breath "Carl's gone!" Glen turned to her shocked "what?" Lori continued "he was upstairs, I can't find him anymore." Glen tried to reason "maybe he's hiding?"

Lori shook her head frantically "I told him to stay upstairs. I'm not leaving without my boy." Carol grabbed her hand "we're not. We're gonna look again. We're gonna find him." They both rush back inside as Andrea came out with the bag of guns. They started passing them out.

Maggie handed one to Glen while holding her own, shocking him "Maggie?" She smirked gently "you grow up country, you pick up a thing or two." Daryl turned back to the group "i've got the numbers, it's no use."

Hershel replied to that "you can go if you want. Get addy to safety." Daryl frowned "you gonna take 'em all on?" Hershel nodded "we have guns, we have cars." Andrea nodded "we kill as many as we can, then use the cars to lead the rest of them off the farm" Glen looked at the herd "are you serious?" Hershel said firmly "this is my farm, I'll die here."

Daryl nodded "all right, it's as good a night as any." Maggie looked at him firmly "keep her with you. She has a tight grip and you'll be in he best position to get her out of here. Plus, beside rick and Carl, your the only other person she'll be this quiet with."

He looked down at addy tucked against his chest, thinking if this was the best option. He knew he would protect her with everything he had so he nodded and quickly made his was to his motorbike.

He sat down and moved addy to sit on the bike facing him "alright lil one. Hold on tight ya hear?" She didn't say anything but tightened her grip on him with her little baby monkey grip. Once he knew she was secure he looked back at the others to see them getting ready to fight.

Daryl led on his bike while the RV and the truck followed him down towards the walkers. He pulled up and saw the barn on fire, knowing it was rick. "Daddy's just fine lil one. Hold on tight, loud noises." He warned before he started firing. Addy buried her face as much as she could into Daryl stomach.

Addy was so overwhelmed and confused by everything going on. All she wanted was to be cuddled up to her daddy. She did the only thing her little mind could remember to do and that was hold on tightly as Daryl started driving around and shooting.

Daryl stopped on the first road that leads out to see that pretty much everyone else has gone and the farm was lost. He quickly started heading out as well to get addy as far away from the danger as he could.

As he started driving, he herd screaming and quickly went towards in case he could still save them "hold on lil one. Just a lil longer." As he drove, carol came into view. He quickly pulled up close to her "come on! I ain't got all day!" Carol ran towards them and quickly climbed on the back. She wrapped her arms around down and placed her hands on addy who was shaking badly.

Daryl quickly sped off as a group of walkers got close. Daryl could feel addy's grip loosening so he yelled at Carol "hold 'Er to me. She's losin grip!" Carol nodded and grabbed addy's arms so that she could keep them both close to him.

...

Daryl was driving down the highway searching for any signs of their group. He was getting seriously worried for addy as he could feel her shuttered breathing against him. He didn't even know if anyone grabbed her medicine or not and that left a sinking feeling in his gut.

It wasn't long till Daryl found the car that had Maggie and Glenn in. Daryl drove beside them and nodded before taking the lead, and leading them back to the spot where they hoped everyone else would be. After driving a little longer a blue truck joined them and they could see the meeting point just again.

Daryl sighed in relief at seeing rick there. He pulled up first, closely followed by the others. Rick ran straight to them, seeing his daughter "addy!" Daryl gently handed her over to him "careful, careful. She ain't breathin right."

Rick just cried and held her close to his chest, thankful that his baby made it out alive. "Thank you, thank you" Daryl nodded back to him as he and carol got off the bike and everyone else started reuniting.
