~Somewhere out in the woods~

Four men are walking out in the woods in search for a certain someone. A women in fact.

"This is too good. Look at this. She sent us a biter-gram, y'all."

Merle says laughing while pointing the blade where his severed hand used to be along the ground where the limbs of walkers is supposed to say go back.

"What the hell's wrong with you? Now, the Governor chose you 'cause he thought you were ready. I want you to succeed. I do." Merle tells on if the men who was freaking out.

He has him by the collar of his shirt, "But if you keep announcing to the world that you're pissing your pants, I'm gonna have to smash your teeth in."

"Now how do you say your last name?"

"Gargulio."

"Well, I'm gonna keep calling you Neil. All right?"

They were some branches snap and leaves rustling. "What's the deal, Michonne? Hmm? You gonna leap out of the woods, one against four, all of us armed to the teeth and you with just your little pig-sticker? No, no, no, Michonne."

All of a sudden Michonne jumps down chopping one guess head off and impaling the other leaving Gargulio to be pushed against a tree witnessing them get killed getting blood on his face.

Merle shoots at her firing a couple rounds, she runs away and one of Merles shots grazes her left thigh. Now Merle and Gargulio run after her.

~At the prison~

You were awake now holding the baby feeding her a bottle swaying back and forth lightly.

"Good morning y/n"

"Buenos días" you said back to Maggie who wanted to hold the baby and you let her.

"Go get some breakfast I got her"

"Alright"

You grabbed a bowl of oatmeal and sat next to Daryl on the mini staircase, Rosco sitting next to you sniffing the oatmeal and you kept pushing his head away. "No stop it."

"Hey you alright" Daryl asks you softly not wanting to disrupt the quietness. "Yeah just umm thinking what I can say to Rick when he comes back. I know he's angry and he has every right to be angry at me." "Hey stop.. he ain't angry at ya ight. You gotta stop blamin yourself for things outta ya control okay no more of that." He did bring up a good point and he kisses the top of your head and continues eating the oatmeal. Luckily there was some left over dog food you packed seeing Rosco lick, and pick the bowl up with his snout.

Rick comes out from the other cell block asking if everyone is okay. Rosco stands up along with you. Your breathing starts getting heavy, your heart is pounding against your chest, and you grew very nervous. Daryl stands up grabbing a hold of your hand, you look at him and he signs for you to calm down and that you'll be okay. You take a deep breath and nod your head smiling at him.

"I cleared out the boiler block."

"How many were there?" Daryl asks him sitting back down and so did you. "I don't know. A dozen, two dozen. I have to get back. Just wanted to check on Carl."

"Rick, we can handle taking out the bodies. You don't have to." Glenn tells him standing up. "No, I do. Everyone have a gun and a knife?" Rick asks Daryl walking over to you two.

While both men talked you had your head down not having the strength to look at Rick in the eyes. He kneels down at your eye level. You wanted to look away but you couldn't, Rick places his hand on your shoulder, "Y/n I wanted to thank you.. for saving the baby, Carl, and everyone else. I can't thank you enough." He had a small smile and stands up walking back into the cell block.
