It was a peaceful morning at Ericsons. It was now spring, and the vegetables they had been growing for about two years, now they were in their element. The sun rays slowly showed through their room as the sun began to rise. A slight breeze echoed throughout their room, it was comforting and not cold at all, mainly because Louis and Clementine were in each other's arms, they produced enough warmth to combat any early morning breeze.

Very suddenly, that peaceful morning for Louis and Clementine was disturbed. Clementine untangled herself from Louis' grasp, she sat upright on their bed. She groaned, rubbing her face from any exhaustion. Louis was quick to wake up, he wasn't a light sleeper usually, but he had gotten so used to Clementine by his side while sleeping, that everytime her presence left him, he awoke with anxiety. He sat up with her, she didn't take her hands off of her face, even after rubbing the exhaustion from it. She continued to groan quietly.

"You ok?" Louis asked, to which AJ awoke with a yawn on the other side of the room.

"She's probably bleeding." AJ announced, stretching his limbs.

Louis widened his eyes, "What?", but very quickly he remembered Clementine was a woman who had a menstrual cycle. "Oh, right, but she's never groaned like this before."

"She did a lot when we were on the road." AJ said, putting on his jacket and packing his gun into his pocket.

"Yea, keep talking over me like I'm not here guys." Clementine finally said, she let her hands fall from her face. She grimaced, holding her stomach in pain. Louis panicked and immediately crawled over her, awkwardly, and went for his coat. He put it on.

"I'll be back, I'm gonna get you some meds."

"Louis, no-" Clementine sighed as he already left. "I don't need them."

"Clem, you do. Remember that one time we we're on the road and you got hurt while driving, and you almost ran us off a clif?" AJ mentioned, he came over to her and sat at her feet.

"Maybe that's just because I'm a bad driver." Clementine laughed. AJ rolled his eyes playfully, but his playful demeanor shifted once Clementine got another sharp pain in her side. "Its-It's fine. I'm ok."

AJ pursed his lips, "We're supposed to go on a supply run today. You won't be able to come."

"Says who?" She asked.

AJ pointed to her stomach, "Says that thing."

Suddenly, Louis came back inside, he huffed slightly, trying to catch his breath. He had run back. He gave Clementine the meds, and some water. Clementine opened her mouth to say something but Louis stopped her, "No, you're taking them." He said, surprisingly sternly. AJ widened his eyes at his tone, Clementine rose a brow. "You haven't been taking care of yourself. Ms. Martin used to tell us that women can get those really bad cramps for many reasons, but it's most likely due to stress. Clem, you've been working your ass off, time to get a damn break."

"Louis, I can't really. Springs finally here-"

"Exactly! No more winter, meaning no more stress."

"Louis...yea, winters gone. But, spring season is when we have to start planting again and tending the gardens, and-" Clementine was cut off by another pain.

"See?" Louis mentioned. "Take them Clem."

Clementine sighed in defeat, taking the medicine.

Louis walked over to her, and placed his hands on her shoulders. He pushed her down gently on the bed, he hovered over her and placed a quick peck on her lips. "Rest, AJ and I will go on that supply run today."
