Y/N grabs Ricks arm as the prisoners follow after Tomas. "Did you see the look on his face?" She whispers.

Rick nods. "He makes one move..."

Daryl walks up to them. "Just give me the signal."

The group enters into a new room. A set of double doors are shut on the back wall. Daryl hands the keys to Tomas.

"I ain't opening that." He says.

Rick nods. "Yes, you are. If you want this cell block, you're gonna open that door. Just the one, not both of them. Because we need to control this."

He shrugs and puts the key in the door. It rattles and they can hear groaning on the other side. "You bitches ready?" He tries pulling open the door but it won't work. He ends up yanking on the handles and both doors fly open.

"I said one door!" Rick shouts.

Tomas stabs a walker in the head. "Shit happens."

They quickly get in formation and start attacking the many walkers coming from the hallway. Tomas nearly stabs Rick when killing one. Then he shoves a walker onto Rick.

Y/N breaks from the group and stabs the walker from the back, saving his life.

The walkers are dead now. She holds out her arm and he takes it to get up. He nods at her before facing Tomas.

"He was coming at me bro!"

Rick tilts his head. "Yeah, I get it man. Shit happens..."

There's a hesitation in the air and nobody has time to react when suddenly Ricks axe is in Tomas's head.

Andrew screams and tries charging Rick but Y/N stretches her leg under his, tripping him. Glenn and Daryl hold their weapons up to him.

"Easy now." Daryl says.

Andrew stands and quickly runs out the room. Rick chases after him.

Daryl and Y/N hold their weapons to Axel. Glenn and T-Dog do the same to Oscar.

They kneel down. Axel shakes his head. "We don't have no affiliation to what just happened! Tell him, Oscar!"

Oscar looks at him. "Stop talking."

Rick comes back a moment later, alone.

He glares at he the other two prisoners, pulling out his gun.

"We didn't have nothing to do with that." Oscar says.

Rick scoffs. "You knew. We're ending this." He tells his people. Y/N puts her sword under Axels neck. Rick holds his gun up to Oscar.

"Sir, please, please listen to me! It was them that was bad! It wasn't us!" Axel says.

T-Dog raises an eyebrow. "That's convenient."

"You saw what he did to Tiny! He was my friend! Please! We ain't like that! I like my pharmaceuticals, but I'm no killer! Oscar here, he's a B and E and he ain't very good at it neither! We ain't the violent kind, they were! Please! Please, I swear to god! I wanna live!"

Rick looks at Oscar. "What about you?"

"I ain't never pleaded for my life. And I ain't about to start now. So you do what you gotta do." He says, face stone.

Rick glances at Y/N and shakes his head. She removes her sword from the blondes throat. He lowers his gun. The others do the same.

"Ok then. Let's get that cell block."
————————————————————————
After leaving Axel and Oscar in their block, Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Y/N and Glenn go back to their own block.

Carl unlocks the door and seems relieved. "Hershel stopped breathing. Mom saved him."

Archer nods. "It's true."

They all huddle inside the cell where Hershel is chained to the bed. They sit in silence for a while when he slowly opens his eyes.

Y/N gasps softly and grabs Glenn's hand.

"Daddy?" Beth says.

Everyone smiles and hugs are exchanged. People clear the cell to give him some space.

Y/N goes back to her and Glenn's cell. She sighs as she collapses onto the bed. There's suddenly a weight over her and she opens her eyes to see Glenn, climbing on top of her. She laughs.

Their faces are inches apart and he smiles. "What are you doing?" Y/N asks.

"Enjoying the view." He says.

She rolls her eyes and kisses him gently.

They pull apart for a breath and he sits up. She wiggles out from under him and hugs him from the side, arms around his neck.

He kisses her cheek and the lovers sit silently in their shared space, listening to the sounds of quiet voices from the nearby cells.

Maybe this is their new home.

Maybe they can make it work.
————————————————————————
It's been about a week since Hershel woke up. The group has been cleaning up their block and clearing the bodies in the field. It's been a lot of work but the prison is starting to come together nicely.

Y/N and Glenn are up in one of the guard towers. It's their little sanctuary away from the group where they can be alone.

Glenn trails kisses up and down her neck. She runs her hands over his shirtless body.

The moment gets more heated when suddenly a voice can be heard outside. "Glenn! Y/N!"

They jump up. He quickly pulls his pants up, Y/N throwing on his t-shirt. They exit the door and look down to see Carol, T-Dog, Rick and Daryl.

They smile and laugh amongst themselves. "You comin?" Daryl shouts.

"What?" Glenn asks.

Y/N stifles a laugh. Daryl smirks. "You comin? We could use a hand."

They nod and go back inside to finish getting dressed. Glenn shakes his head in disbelief and Y/N bursts out into laughter.

"What?" He asks smiling at her.

She calms herself down and purses her lips. "He said 'you comin?'"

Glenn's face turns red as he realizes what Daryl meant. He looks at Y/N and she starts laughing again. He does the same. She gently kisses him and hands him his shirt, grabbing her own off the floor.

"I love you."

Her heart flutters. "I love you too."
