___
If you're not afraid of the water
You should dive right in
I'm not so brave but I'm gonna
Give it a try
But it'll take a little while
___
"I can't believe it."
She smiles and leans into her husband's shoulder. Judith sits in her lap.
He kisses the top of her head. "It's unreal."
She huffs with a smirk. "Kinda like asking those guys to hold off saving the world while you look for your wife?"
He laughs. "I'm a persuasive guy."
They sit quietly for a while. Eventually Glenn whispers. "What happened?"
She sighs. She sits up and tells him everything.
Hershel. The Sword. The vomit. The bus. Judith. Daryl. The white cross. The funeral home. The dog. Even the pills.
He tears up when she tells him. She kept her addiction hidden from him for seven months. He deserves the truth.
He grabs her hand, when she finishes.
"I'm glad you had Daryl."
She squeezes his hand. "Me too. I just hope he's okay. I hope they're all okay."
He nods. "Maybe they're at Terminus."
"Maybe."
He kisses her cheek. "I love you. Get some rest."
She smiles. "I love you too."

The wave of nausea hits her suddenly. She hunches over and vomits onto the gravel.
It's just Rosita, Rosanna, and Judith in the tunnel right now. It's the next morning. Eugene went to use the bathroom and Abe had to follow him for backup. Glenn and Tara went to scout the outside of the tunnel and to get their supplies in the van.
Rosita rushes to her side and brushes the hair out her face. "Are you okay?"
The ginger nods, sitting up.
Rositas's hand moves to her forehead, and she pales. "You're burning up."
"I'm good."
Rosita eyes her. "How long have you been throwing up?"
She shrugs. "Couple weeks? I don't know. I've lost track."
There's a brief pause before Rosita speaks again.
"When was the last time you had your period?"
Rosanna stiffens. When was the last time? She can't remember. She covers her mouth, feeling nauseous again. "I couldn't... no."
Rosita sighs. "Are you pregnant?"
She feels sweaty. Her mind is racing. "No. Yes? I don't know."
Rosita hugs her gently. "It'll be okay." She reaches into her own bag and fumbles for something. She finds it and hands it to the other.
It's a pregnancy test. Rosita gives a half-smile. "Abe is a horn-dog."
The girl coughs out a laugh as she takes the test from Rositas's hand. "Thank you."
