Harper held Alexis as everyone was checking outside for anyone else, Rick and Michonee were arguing about him punching Aaron.

Aaron started to groan, Harper snapped her head over to him, Maggie ran in and grabbed Alexis.

"Hell of a right cross you got there Rick." Aaron groaned, Rick looked at him.

"Sit him up." He ordered, Harper glared at Rick and shook her head.

"No. He could be seriously hurt." Harper told Rick, Aaron looked back at Harper with a small smile.

"I'm fine." He whispered, Harper sighed and helped him sit up.

"How many people are with you?" Rick asked, Aaron sighed and looked at Rick.

"Does it matter?" Aaron asked, Rick scoffed and looked at Aaron in disbelief. "I mean of course it matters, but no matter what number I tell you, eight, 444, zero, you're not gonna belive me." Aaron explained, Harper snickered from behind him which made Glenn glare at her.

"How many?" Rick growled, Aaron sighed and looked up.

"One." He told Rick, Rick scoffed and shook his head. "See I knew you wouldn't belive me! What do I have to do to make you belive me?" Aaron asked, he looked around at everyone, his eyes stopping on the kids. "I could take you there now." Aaron whispered, Harper looked up at Rick.

"How are the nineteen of us gonna fit in the one car you and you're friend brought?" Rick asked, Harper looked at everyone, Stephan was holding Alexis, but he was standing next to his girlfriend Maggie, everyone else had their guns ready to shoot.

"We drove separately. So if we found a big group we'd be able to take everyone back in one trip." Aaron said, Carol stepped up and looked at him.

"And you're parked not far from here?" Carol asked, Aaron nodded with a smile.

"That's right. East on ridge road, just after you hit route 16. We wanted to get them closer but the storm came." Aaron explained, Rick eyes him.

"You really got this all figured out." Rick said, Aaron sighed and looked back at Rick.

"Rick, if I wanted to ambush you, I'd do wanted to ambush you, I do it here. You know, light the barn on fire while you slept, pick you off as you ran out the other exit. You can trust me." Aaron told him, Michonne walked up to Rick and started whispering.

"There aren't any cars." Rick said loudly, Michonne sighed and looked at Harper.

"There's only one way to find out." Haroer told him, Glenn looked over at her in disbelief. "Don't look at me Glenn, you think I'm gonna lass up a place where I can have my baby? Where Alexis can grow up?" Haroer asked, Glenn sighed and shook his head.

"We don't need to find out." Rick told them, Harper growled and looked at him.

"I am not having my baby in a ditch!" Harper yelled, Rick flinched and looked at her.

"We do." Michonne said, she looked at Harper and sent her a small smile. "You know what you know, and you're sure of it, but I'm not." Michonne said, Rick sighed and looked at Michonne.

"Me neither." Maggie said, standing up, she looked at Harper with a smalk smile.

Harper walked over to Stephan and grabbed Alexis, she smiled and held her close to her.

"I'm going." Michonne said, soon Abraham, Rosita, Glenn and Maggie were all leaving.

"I'll stay with you, I have to watch Lex." Harper said, Rick nodded and sat down by Judy.

"When the world was still the world, I worked for an NGO. Our mission was to deliver medicine and food to the deliver medicine and food to the Niger river Delta Niger river Delta. Bad people pointed guns in my face every week.. You're not bad people." Aarin said, Harper looked over at him with a frown.

"You don't know that." Harper whispered, Rick looked at Aaron.

"Just because we aren't bad people doesn't mean we won't kill you, if the 5  of them aren't back in an hour I'll put a knife through the base of your skull." Rick threatened Aaron, Aaron nodded and looked back at Harper.

"You have a beautiful baby girl." Aaron told her, Harper smiled sadly.

"I wish I could take credit for the work, but actually I found her in a truck. When she was only a few weeks old." Harper told him, Aaron nodded sadly.

"The mom?" He asked, Harper sighed and looked down.

"She was bit, she made me promise to take care of her baby." Harper told him, Aaron nodded with a small smile.

"Well I think you're doing a great job." Aaron said, but he was cut off by Judith crying. "You did see the jar of Apple sauce right? This isn't a trick, this isn't a this isn't a trick, this isn't about trying to make you like me. It's so you like me. Itself preservation. Because of the rumors here her if the roamers hear her income this way, I know I'll be the first to go Alma I know I'll be the 1st to go." Aaron said quickly, Harper looked at Alexis and could tell she was also hungry.

Rick opened the jar of apple sauce and grabbed the sppk from his pack, he got a spoonful and walked up to Aaron.

"You think I'm trying to poison your babies?" Aaron asked, Rick shrugged and tried to make him eat the apple sauce.

"I don't know." Rick replied, Aaron sighed and looked at Rick.

"I'm tired up, you already expressed your willingly to stab me in my head, you stabbed me in my head, how will cruelly killing your daughter help me Lee killing your daughter help me?" Aaron asked, Harper could tell Rick was getting agitated.

"Maybe she doesn't die, maybe she gets sick maybe you're the only one who can help her and I just lose." Rick told him quickly, trying to shush the crying baby.

"I am the only one who can help her because I have the Apple sauce!" Aaron yelled, his fear taking over him, Rick shoved the spoon towards him. "I hate apple sauce." He muttered, Harper grew tired of this and took the spoon.

She brought it up up her lips and took the bite, Rick stood up carefully and watched Harper carefully.

"You idiot! What if it had killed you?" Rick yelled, Harper sighed and took a spoonful and giving it to Alexis.

"I didn't so let's not make a big deal out if this." Harper said, Rick sighed and sat down, they took turns feeding the babies.

But when the group came back, Harper didn't expect them to have so much food, she was excited.
