Kagome and Rick headed out of the tower and ran inside the prison, where they could talk with Hershel about performing their wedding ceremony. When Carl saw Kagome and Rick walk in, he couldn't help but grin at how happy Kagome and Rick looked. Carl knew without a doubt that Kagome had accepted. Carl was excited as he watched his parents walk toward him holding hands. He ran out to meet them; when Carl got closer, he saw Kagome wearing the wedding ring. He hollered for joy and ran into Kagome.
“Did Dad do it? Did you say yes, Kagome? The ring means you're married to my dad now, right?” Carl asked, looking up at the woman he now considered his mother.
Kagome laughed and hugged Carl tightly, “Yes, baby, I accepted, but we're not married yet. Hershel has to perform the ceremony.
Carl smiled and jumped up and down at the thought of having Kagome become his official mother. Rick put his hand on his son's should and then kneeled in front of him, “Carl, I wanted to ask you if you'd like to be my best man.”
Carl grinned and opted into his father's arm, “Of course, Dad!”
“Good, now, let's go tell the others.”
Rick wrapped his arm around Carl's shoulders and Kagome's waist, and they went into the cell block. When they went inside, everyone could tell that something was going on. Rick cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
“Kagome and I have an announcement to make. We've decided to get married, and if it's alright with you, Hershel, we'd like you to perform the ceremony.”
The group stared at the couple for a moment until Amy squealed and rushed to Kagome and hugged her tightly, “I'm so happy for you, both of you. I knew it was only a matter of time.”
Kagome hugged Amy back, “Thank you, Amy.”
And with that, the other women congratulated Kagome and Rick. When Daryl finally congratulated Kagome, she pulled him aside to talk to him, “Daryl, I have a favor to ask you. You know that from the beginning, you and I have had a special bond, and I consider you my brother; it would make me very happy if you would walk me down the aisle.”
Daryl stared at Kagome, stunned; he didn't know what to say. After a moment, Daryl gave Kagome a rare smile and accepted. Kagome gave him a dazzling smile and hugged the hunter; after that, Amy pulled Kagome away from Daryl and toward the other women.
“Okay, we have got to find you a wedding dress,” Amy said.
Sofia squealed, “Yes! There has to be someplace we can find a wedding dress. I'm sure people didn't bother to take them.”
“Guys, that isn't necessary; I don't need a wedding; I only want to marry Rick.”
