Iza is playing with Judith, Ben is sharpening his sword while James is making their dinner over the fire. Oliver is making arrows and Gwyn is sharpening her axe.
It's quiet apart from Iza who is muttering and James who is singing a song softly. There's sudden rustling and the group becomes alert. Ben moves in front of Iza and Judith while the others take out their weapons.
James moves forward and moves the brenches to the side. A flashlight is shining in his face but he doesn't move. "Who are you? What do you want?" he asks holding his knife behind his back.
"James?" Daryl's voice sounds as the flashlight is still shining in his face.
"You know him?" a man asks.
"They are the teens," Daryl says moving the man's arm down.
Daryl walks forward and towards the fire where he looks at Iza who is holding Judith. "Elizabeth?" he asks with a smile.
"Dad," she smiles relieved before she rushes to him and throws her arms around him.
Daryl smiles as he takes Judith from her and hugs the kid. "Hello there, little asskicker," he whispers hugging her tightly.
Rick is sitting at breakfast with Carl and Michonne, there is frantic knocking on the front door making Rick get up with a sigh. "You have to come and see this..." Eugene says out of breath before he rushes back to the gate.
"What? Eugene?!" he calls out after him but Eugene doesn't reply making them follow him.
Rick freezes the second he can see them. Ben and James, he smiles with tears in his eyes before he runs to them. He stops when he has them in his arms. "Wow...Dad...Hi," Ben smiles as him and James hold onto Rick, finally being reunited with their father and father figure.
Glenn runs to Gwyn and hugs her before spinning her around. Maggie runs to Oliver, where she throws her arms around him. Iza walks into the gate with a smile, Daryl clear his throat looking at Rick while Carl has already seen Judith.
"Judith?" he asks as tears well up in his eyes.
"Yeah," Iza smiles as Rick takes Judith from her.
Carl hugs Ben and James before taking Judith from his dad. Rick looks at Iza before he hugs her and closes his eyes. "Thank you," he whispers.
"No problem," she smiles with tears in her eyes before she closes them.
Rick looks at the teens before looking at Alexandrians. The teens are covered in dirt and blood. "How about we get you all showered and fed," he says with a nod.
The teens smile before they get taken to some houses. Ben and James stay close to Iza while they look around the town. Gwyn and Oliver walk up front and hold their weapons at the ready just in case.
Rick leads Iza and Ben to a house before he lets them take a look around. "The showers are upstairs, i'll ask Carol to bring some clothes," he says.
Ben nods while Iza is still looking around. Rick leaves the house to give them some privacy while he goes to Daryl.
"They lived in here?" he asks as him and Daryl stand in the rv.
Daryl nods as he points to the back before he walks to it. "Iza, Ben and Judith slept in here," he says as he opens a door to a small room with a small bed and a camping bed for Judith.
"Gwyn and Oliver slept here," Daryl says pointing to bunk beds in the wall.
"And James drove or sat watch on top of the rv. Ben says that sometimes they wouldn't stop driving until they ran out of gas. Then James and Gwyn would go on the motorcycle to get new gas. Sometimes they would have been gone for two or three days. But they never returned without gas," Daryl explains.
"What about food and water?" Rick asks.
Daryl points to the shelves which are filled with food. "They would get water from rivers. Boil it and then put it in the tank," he sighs as he walks to the front.
"James slept on the couch?" Rick asks.
"When Ben or Oliver was driving he would take their beds. In the nights they would try to sleep in a safe place. As far as that goes," Daryl says before walking to the door.
"Iza is quiet. Is she okay?" Rick asks.
"I don't know," Daryl mumbles before he walks out the rv.
In the house, Iza is standing in the bathroom. "You're quiet," Ben says softly as he turns on the shower.
Iza says nothing as she takes off her jacket, she groans in pain making him walk over to her. He helps take off her jacket, she looks down at her belly and puts her hand on the baby bump.
He looks at her before putting his hand on the bump. "Are you worried about the baby?" he asks.
"I am," she whispers.
"We can ask my dad if they have a doctor. Or at least tell him and Daryl," he says standing in front of her.
"I want to shower first. Please. Can we just shower first?" she asks with tears in her eyes.
Ben nods as he helps her take off her shirt, revealing the bruises and scars on her back and belly.
After the shower, they get dressed. Iza sighs as she pulls her shirt over her bump, happy the shirt is too big already. They go downstairs where Gwyn, Oliver and James are already talking with a big man that has red hair and a mustache.
Rick is talking with Carol, Daryl, Michonne, Maggie and Glenn with his back turned to them. Iza pulls her vest around her as if to protect her baby.
But Carol has already seen it and whispers it to the group that she is talking with. They all look at her, making her uncomfortable. "We have a doctor. Carol..." Rick says making her nod before walking towards Iza.
"Come on. Let's go see the doctor," Carol says with a smile.
Iza looks at Ben scared who grabs her hand. "No worries. I'm coming with you," Ben says.
At night, Iza is laying in Ben's arms, he can't sleep and neither can she. He sighs as he looks at her belly, he puts his hand on it before going over it.
"At least the baby is okay," she whispers.
"Go to sleep," he sighs.
She turns around and looks at him. "I have to pee," she smiles while scrunching up her nose.
"Again?" he frowns.
She nods as she laughs softly. "Your demon child is doing ballet on my blader," she sighs as she sits up.
"Fine. Alright," he smiles as he gets off the bed and picks her up.
"I love you," she whispers kissing his cheek.
"Shut up. I love you too," he smiles.
