A/N: time skip to 06x15 'East' 40 mins.

As Maggie walks to my and Daryl's house and knocks on the door I smile through the glass. Sat on a chair with a towel around my shoulders as Enid was cutting my hair, I decided to cut it to surprise Daryl when he got back since he was gone when I woke up this morning so, assuming he is out on a run, I decided to surprise him when he got back.

Getting up and going to the door, I open it and smile.

"Hey, come in." I step aside for her to walk in.

Maggie looks at my new hair and smiles, "It suits you." Then walks to Enid.

"I need some more help." She gestures towards the scissors Enid is holding.

Enid and I both smile at each other as we sit her down, Enid cutting her hair and I style it after. Once we have worked our magic I hand her the mirror.

"I like it." Enid says once Maggie has had a good look at herself.

"You look just like you did when we bombarded your Farm." I joke, chuckling softly. "But why?"

Maggie sighs softly and replies, "I have to keep going. And I don't want anything getting in my way."

I smile gently and rest my hand on her shoulder comfortingly, but something is wrong... Maggie starts panting softly and holding her stomach.

"Man, did I go too short? I-I only used to cut my dad's and my brothers..."

"No, It's not that." I mumble as I gently rub her back. "Something's wrong... Enid. Get help. Now."

I watch as Maggie starts to scream in agony, falling to the floor and holding her stomach.

As we prepare to travel to Hilltop in the RV, Abraham and Sasha join us as I walk out of the vehicle.

"Any change?" Sasha asks.

"She's getting worse."

"Good call on the transport." Abraham says to Rick as he packs the RV for travel.

"Well, I figured she'd be more comfortable." He replies.

"I also means you got room for more. They're out there, so I'm gonna be there with you." Abraham looks at Sasha and smiles. "We are."

"Package deal." She adds as they walk onto the vehicle.

"Uh. What she said." Eugene pipes up as he goes to join them, but Rick stops him.

"Look, it's a long trip, you're just getting over-"

"It's a superficial graze," Eugene interrupts. "Proteins are binding. Plus we need to discuss ammunition production and manufacture so lets roll." 

Abraham strides out of the RV saying, "I already tried. Give him an inch, he'll take a mile."

"I'm only asking for twenty three, give or take depending on the route. I know I can be of some help. Now is the time, here is the place. Don't shine me. I'll be your anchor-man. Yes I damn will." Eugene states as he gets into the vehicle. 

"We're ready to protect this place, and the Saviours know it. That's why they grabbed Eugene" Aaron says to both Rick and I.

"Look, it's not up for discussion." Rick replies.

"Then you're just gonna have to punch me in the face and tie me up again. 'Cuz that's what it's gonna take to stop me."

I smile and hug Aaron tightly, "Thank you Aaron, I knew we could count on you." I whisper to him.
