THE TRACKS.

Lily walks with a hand over her stomach, Tyreese on her left while David and Gabe trail behind them. Their jeep ran out of gas a few miles back. Lily swore she watched David's heart break when he had to leave it behind. Gabe hasn't said a word since the bus. Lily doesn't blame him.

"All good?" Tyreese asks softly, looking at Lily with a raise of his brows as she looks up at him, smiling at his kindness. There isn't much of that these days. That's what Lily misses most about having Glenn around, his unwavering kindness towards her even if she didn't deserve it.

It's only been two days without Glenn but it feels like two years.

The time moves weird now. Moves slowly but also blends together. Lily can't remember the last time she could recall the date.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Tyreese. Thank you," Lily smiles, nodding as she lets her hands drop to her sides, sighing through her nose. Tyreese nods, looking back at the boys behind him then back in front of them as they continue walking down the tracks.

"If you get too tired just tell me. 'Don't want to wear you out with the...you know," Lily laughs a bit at his wording, nodding at the man with a small smile.

"With the what?" Gabriel's voice chimes in, causing Lily to stop and turn around, almost stunned he said something. Honestly, she forgot what his voice sounded like. Though, he doesn't really sound like himself with the deadpan tone and hoarse voice. The group stops, looking at each other. David raises his dark brows in curiosity as Liliana looks between the two boys, nervous to tell them about her condition.

Weird to think if this was any normal occasion, she'd be telling anything with a pulse she was pregnant with Glenn's baby. But now it makes her dead weight, they don't know how long they'll be out here and together. She might not be that far along now but in a few months, it'll be near impossible to run, she'll need constant help, and who knows how the hell she was going to give birth.

She can't think about it all too long or she'll puke. She can already feel her head spinning as she thinks of a way to deliver the news as nonchalantly as she can.

"Well, um, I'm..." Lily does circular motions around her stomach, brows raising as she ponders on what to say. "With child currently."

Both of the bothers brows shoot up. David blinks a couple of times as Gabe tilts her head, eyes on her stomach.

"You found time to fuck during this shit storm?"

"Gabe!" David snaps, hitting his brother's arm as Tyreese bites back a laugh. Lily lets one come out through her nose, cheeks reddening like a shy school girl as David throws his arms up and letting them fall back on his thighs with a dull slap.

"I mean...Cool. Shit timing but," He looks Lily up and down before looking at her face. Their eyes lock for a few beats like they did back at the bus. There's that weird warm feeling again but Lily pushes it away again, looking David up and down the same way he did to her. "Congratulations."
