38. You Think She's Cute?

Rick didn't wake either of the kids up that morning. He knew that Carl stayed up late and Lillian had been complaining about a headache all day yesterday, figured both of the kids deserved to sleep in anyways. So when Carl walked into Lillian's cell, telling her that his dad forgot to wake them up, she shot up.

She quickly got ready, slipping on shoes before she was right out the door, beside Carl. They were walking down to the field where the animals were, where Rick was too.

"You didn't wake us up." Carl called out to Rick as the two got closer to the fence. Rick was walking around the pig pin as he saw the two walking up.

"Cause i knew you were up all night reading comics with a flashlight." Rick sassed back as he stopped in front of the metal part of the gate, the other two meeting him there. They all peered into the pig pin, looking at the pig was laying down in the mud. She seemed sick. Lillian was worried about her.

"Figured you two could use more sleep anyways." Rick added.

"What's up with Violet?" Carl asked the question that they were all thinking. Lillian furrowed her eyebrows at the name. They were both told to not get attached to the animals. She couldn't imagine naming something that she was to soon eat.

Rick sighed. "Carl, I told you not to name them. They're not piglets anymore. They're food."

"I just thought, you know, until..." Carl trailed off. "Okay."

"I don't know what's going on with her. Could be sick, could be nothing." Rick told them before making a clicking noise with his tongue.

"She seems sick." Lillian thought out loud as she leaned against the gate slightly.

"Feel better, Violet." Rick said in a serious tone before grinning at the two.

Lillian let out a groan. "How am i supposed to enjoy bacon now?" She exaggerated. Both Rick and Carl chuckled.

"Lillian, you eat breakfast?" Rick asked her after he got done laughing. That's something she was asked a lot nowadays. 'have you eaten?' 'did you eat yet' 'how was the food?', the last one was just a trick to see if she had some or not.

Lillian sighed. "Not yet."

"Why don't you go and get some really quick and then come back out to help?" Rick suggested.

"Okay." Lillian mumbled as she turned around. She had walked all the way down here for nothing, that disappointed her.

"Don't take too long, i don't want to be doing all of your hard work!" Carl called out to her, his tone playful. Lillian turned around a grin on her face to see a grin on Rick's and Carl's too.

"Just admit you need me. Again. Carl." Lillian threw back at him.

Rick laughed. "Lillian. Go." He said through his breaths of air as he pointed towards the prison. Carl had his hands crossed over his chest now but he still had a smirk on his face.

When Lillian made it back up to the prison, Carol was outside. She was cooking some meat. Daryl was just walking towards Carol. Lillian sped up her pace as she squeezed past people. Just as she got close to where Carol was cooking, Lillian accidentally stepped on someone's foot.

"Sorry," Lillian quickly said as she continued walking but looked at the person. It was an old lady who gave her a kind smile.

Lillian felt a small smile appear on her face as she was turning her head back to look where she was walking but ran straight into something hard. She stumbled back a couple of steps, looking at exactly what she had ran into. That old man that didn't like her very much was standing as a walk in front of her.
