Months had passed, and Lori's stomach grew. It helped with keeping up with the months. We ran out of food, so anything we find goes to Lori and Carl to eat. Rick was getting stress and slowly losing it.
Right now, you had just cleared out a house, Daryl had found an owl started to pluck it. None of you had the energy to move or fight, but when walkers started to come it was time to go. Keep moving on with the vehicles until they ran out of gas, then we just have to walk. Which was not helping with Lori with her state, she would be popping at any minute. 

"This herd could meet this one here and colloid." Glenn said pointing to a map.

"What if we double back to that town we passed?" Maggie asked.

"We already picked that town clean." Glenn said.

"We need to think of something and fast." Rick said, looking at Lori "Daryl, Y/n, with me."

You, Rick, and Daryl walk down some tracks. You kept your head down most of the time, not listening to them. You only listened to what Rick and Dayl had to say, it was mostly about Lori. 
Your arm was tugged.

"Hey, Y/n you alright?" Rick asked.

"Will be once we find a place." Y/n said.

"That's a damn shame." Daryl said.

You and Rick look in the same direction and there it was. A prison, still standing.
"Must've happened early on. Hasn't been touched since." Daryl said.

You looked at Rick, his face covered with a smile. Of hope. 

"It's perfect."

"C'mon we ain't got all day." Daryl said, holding open the fence "Glenn close it."

You looked around, walkers had noticed you and gotten to the fence. Once Glenn closed the whole up, you made a run for it.

"Daryl, Carol I want you up on that guard tower, take your time we don't have many bullets. Herschel and Carl on the other. The rest of you get the walker's attention. Y/n and I will get the gate closed." Rick said.
Lori opened the gate, and you took off running. You killed any walker that got too close to you or Rick. A bullet almost hit you. Rick looked at Carol.

"Sorry!"

You and Rick killed as many as you could before kicking a walker into the gate and Rick closed it.
"Light it up!"

"This was a win, but tomorrow the real work begins so get as much rest as you can." Rick said.

Y/n walked over to Dary, a bowl in her hand. Carol was talking with him.

"What's happening over here?" Y/n asked.

"Oh, just being friendly." Carol said "You gotten yourself a good man."

"Tell me about it." Y/n said "You two gonna come down? We got a lot to do tomorrow and Ricks is taking first watch."

"Yea, we're coming." Daryl said, getting down and helping Carol "C'mon."

You made your way to the blanket you had and layed on it.

"Hey, I got you something." Daryl said, pulling out something "I saw it in a store, thought about you."

In his hand was a turquoise necklace. You had talked about wanting one before the world ended. Daryl went behind you and put it on you, you stared right at the gemstone.

"You remembered." You said looking at him "You didn't have to."

"It wasn't a big deal, I just knew how much you wanted one." Daryl said "C'mon, get some sleep."
