Rick and Michonne were saying their goodbyes to Carl in the church when the crackle of Ricks walkie talkie interrupted them

"Hey Carl" Carl closed his eyes at his sister's voice, they found each other at the start of the war with Negan and now she was losing him "I'm, sorry I'm not there. Wish I was so I could tell you in person how proud I am at the man you've become" Carl tried so hard to keep the tears back the waver in her voice finally made him crack "I wish I could hug you and tell you everything's going to be ok" they heard her take a few shaky breaths "you went down with a fight. It's the only way to beat this world" silence fell over the room, Carl choked out a sob remembering his mother's words "I'm bit, bugger came out of nowhere got me on the shoulder" Rick lost whatever footing he had left, he was losing both of his children at the same time. "There's a herd headed to Alexandria, I'm going to lead them to Negan then I'm going to fight like hell to go out in a blaze of fucking glory"

Michoonne huffed out a laugh "I love you, Carl nothing in this world could stop that, I love you too dad, despite how much of an ass I was when I was a teenager I always looked up to you" Rick rested his forehead on Carl's hand praying to every god he knew of to say this day was a dream "Michonne, thank you for caring for my family. do you remember that promise you made, I'm going to need to hold you to it"

y/n looked up at the smoke-filled sky the soft breeze and shade from the tree canopy cooled her down "I love you" this time her voice was a weak whisper. While y/n pushed through the pain setting off shots to gather as many walkers as she could to her location, Rick and Michonne waited outside the burnt church. The both of them froze when the noise of the silencer filled their ears.

Sweating and broken they dug Carl's grave, and a loud explosion rang in the distance followed by some smaller ones. The two looked at each other giving a knowing nod that y/n was probably the cause

y/n found a crotch rocket on the road and luckily it still had the keys and a full tank of gas, driving around the sanctuary she pulled grenade after grenade off of the belt around her shoulder throwing them over the walls, the final one hitting the gas filled jerry cans and generators causing the building to erupt in flames.

Rick shot at the walkers on the bridge taking out the anger of losing two kids on them "dad!" he turned to face a very pail y/n her face sunken in it was clear she was almost there "go, I'll blow the bride" he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before handing her his python that had a single bullet left. She gave Rick and Daryl a mock two finger salute before shooting at the dynamite crate.

Rick used Daryl to keep himself upright as he watched his daughter get blown from the bridge. His whole world came crashing down on him in one day.
