After finishing all the blood draws Jenner led us into a massive kitchen. He allowed us to help ourselves to whatever we wanted and showed us to a dining room like area where we could all eat. We pulled out food and ate like kings for the first time in months. We were even happier to find a giant winery cabinet. There were a hundred bottles at least if not more of wine just sitting there for the taking.

We all sat around the table laughing enjoying ourselves. I had a glass of wine in hand and they finally convinced Lori to take one.

"Fine." She laughed accepting the drink from my Dad.

"You know, in Italy, children have a little bit with dinner and in France."

"Dad!" I laughed. "Charlotte is not having wine, no way."

"I agree, when Carl is in France or Italy, he can have some then." Lori agreed.

"What's it gonna hurt, come on." Rick chuckled at her.

"Don't be a stiff. Come on. Let the girl try some." Shane pointed out with a grin. I couldn't hold back my own grin and eye roll.

"Fine." I shook my head. At least we were in a safe space and she was surrounded by adults to care for her. "But only a little!" I warned as Dad nearly began to fill a glass.

"Here you go, babydoll." Dad chuckled handing it to her. "And you, my young lad."

We all watched as both kids took a sip of their cups. Carl's face scrunched up.

"Ew!" He said putting the cup down and pushing it away from himself. Everyone in the group began to laugh at the moment.

"That's my boy." Lori chuckled.

"What? How about you, Charlie?" Shane asked as she sipped hers.

"Yum." She giggled and went to take another sip.

"That a girl!" Daryl cheered for her and the two high fived.

"Can I finish it?" She asked and I laughed.

"Well, you might as well. But no more after!"

"How? It tastes nasty!" Carl exclaimed at her making her giggle.

"How about you just stick to soda pop there, bud." Shane said.

"Not you, Glenn!" Daryl pointed out with a laugh.

"What?" Glenn asked as he was about to take a sip of his glass.

"Keep drinking, little man. I wanna see how red your face can get." Daryl laughed making the others around us laugh.

I raised my glass at him with a giggle of my own and took another sip, already feeling the buzz. Rick stood up gently clinging his glass with his fork.

"It seems to me we haven't thanked our host properly." Rick pointed out as we all quieted down.

"He is more than just our host." T-dog said as he raised his glass.

"Hear, hear!" Some of us shouted in agreement.

"Here's to you, Doc. Booyah!" Daryl said excitedly.

It'd been a long time since I'd seen him so happy, especially since Merle. It was nice to see him letting loose.

"Thank you, Doctor Jenner!" I cheered raising my glass to him.
