Theo and Daryl headed back home, walking inside to be greeted by their kids and pets, smiling at their two youngest began crawling towards the both of them.
Libbie had managed to take a few steps but struggled to stay up where as CJ was still taking his time with walking.
Theo leaned down to pick up Libbie as Daryl mirrored her actions with CJ.
"Mum, I think i almost got her to say mumma today" Lydia smiled as RJ and Judith ran off with Gracie into their room.
"No way" Daryl shook his head, "You gotta say Dadda first" He bounced CJ in his arms making him laugh.
"Mumma" Theo smiled at her youngest daughter who looked at Lydia.
"Mumma" Theo repeated but she was adamant on not saying it.
"Mom, Mom." CJ mumbled making Theo and Daryl look towards their son in shock.
"That's right baby" Theo laughed as They both smiled looking at their kids.
"You better get them to say my name when we are back" Daryl laughed as Lydia took Libbie off of her mothers hands.
"Where are you going?" Lydia questioned as she looked between the two parents.
"We have an idea where more food is, probably about a weeks journey. You guys going to be okay? Rosita, Carol and Aaron will be here with you guys" Theo looked at Lydia who nodded.
"Just make sure you come back" Lydia hugged her mother as Theo looked at Daryl
"Always"
They gathered up a group of people including Negan who knew his way around the city like the back of his hand.
They brought along Dog and Ozzy as well as a lot of Maggie's people.
They said their goodbyes to their children before setting off in the storm.
At this point they had been walking around 4 hours in the rain, their coats no longer really keeping them dry and Negan and Maggie lead the way besides Theo and Daryl.
"How much longer till we are through the city?!" Maggie yelled over the rain towards Negan.
"Around 6 more hours! We should bunker down and wait for this to pass?" Negan answered, Theo agreed but these people didn't listen to her.
"You don't get a vote asshole!" One of them responded making Theo sigh.
"He's right! Maggie we can't stay out in this" Theo agreed.
"We don't have time!" She yelled before stopping in her tracks and pointing into the distance where the signs for the Metro pointed down the stairs.
They all headed down, torches in hands as they began to head underground, out of the pouring rain
