The baby was crying loudly in Maggie's arms. She stood frozen looking at the baby knowing what the baby needed was its mother, but sadly moments ago she sacrificed herself.

Daryl stood in front of Rick watching the man mentally go crazy inside his own mind.

Rick was swaying back and forth, with a distant look nobody seen before.

Xander and Carl stood next to Maggie. Their eyes red from all the crying.

"Rick... Rick you with me? Rick?" Daryl called out for their leader, who seemed to be in a state of shock.

"Let me see the baby." Hershel said.

Maggie handed Xander the baby, as they walked towards the old man. Daryl turned around, giving up on Rick and looked to Hershel, while Xander held the baby, Rhea and Carl walked right next to him.

"What are we gonna feed it? We got anything a baby can eat?" Daryl asked them.

"'Her' dad. Not 'It'" Rhea told her father.

"The good news is she looks healthy, but she needs formula and soon or she won't survive" Hershel said.

"Nope. Not her." Daryl said heading for his motorcycle "We ain't losing anybody else. I'm going on a run."

"I'II back you up." Maggie told him.

"I'll go too." Glenn said.

"Okay, think where we're going. Rhea." Daryl called out and lightly pulled her away from Xander and Carl "Kids just lost their mom. Their Dad ain't doing so hot-"

"I'll watch after them." She told him, before looking back at the Grimes boys "I made a promise. I'm not breaking my promise." She said before looking back at her father.

"That's my girl." He said as he kissed her forehead. Daryl then looked at the prisoners "You two get the fences. Too many pile up, we got ourselves a problem. Glenn, Maggie, vamonos."

"Rick!" Maggie called out and everyone turned to see, the delirious man grab an axe from the ground and stomp his way to the tombs.

"Get the gate. Come on we're gonna lose the light." Maggie and Daryl left leaving Beth, Hershel, Carl, Xander, Axel, Oscar, the baby and Rhea.
