Riven lets out a deep sigh as he pulls over the car, rolling down the window, "Don't say shit, and just get in the car." He told the group,

He had decided to come back since apparently he couldn't just leave his group to walk back, especially Glenn and Maggie.

"Move over, I'm driving." Rick told him, and Riven shook his head,

"No. I can't extacly move, so, just get in, passenger, back, I don't care." He replied,

"Shotgun!" Michonne yelled, pushing Rick out of the way, and she got in the passenger side, throwing Riven a grin.

"Knew you be back." Riven rolled his eyes,

"He wasn't there." As the others made themselves fit in the back, Riven started driving.

"Riven.." Maggie started, but Riven shook his head,

"Don't." Maggie frowns, understanding why Riven doesn't want to talk about it.

"Take the next left." Riley spoke, tapping Riven's shoulder.

Michonne turned her head to look at Riven, and she reached her hand out, poking his cheek.

"You have a cute pout." She teased him, and he slapped her hand away,

"Shut up." She chuckles,

"And I don't pout." Riven told her, and Michonne smiles,

"Yes, you do. You pout all the time." She told him, mimicking his pout, and Riven glances at her, and scoffs,

"I don't look like that." He said,

"Yes, you do." Riley commented, with a small grin,

"Yeah, you do." Rick said with a small chuckle, and Riven rolled his eyes, sharply turning left, grinning as Riley and Rick bumped heads.

"Oops."

Maggie let out a small laugh as Michonne chuckles, fist bumping Riven,

"Nice one."

Judith was an odd baby, at least to Riven when he met her. Lori had died having her, t-Dog was killed, saving Carol, who was happy to see him again, but upset that Daryl was gone.

Hershel had lost a leg after being bitten by a walker, and Rick had to cut it off to save his life, not only that but there was a group in the prison, one that arrived before they did.

"..how on earth did you do this?" Hershel questioned, gently cleaning the dried blood off of Riven's wrist,

"Metal handcuffs and skin don't go well together." Riven quietly replied, wincing every once in a while.

Hershel sighs, "You're lucky it's not that deep, but you still need to keep an eye on them, so they won't get infected."

Hershel wrapped clean bandages around Riven's wrists.

Riven lifted his head as Beth walked into the cell he was currently in, supposedly his room, according to carol, Daryl picked it out, she was carrying Judith, Beth had taken the job of caring for Judith, and apparently, Daryl had nicknamed her little ass kicker.

Judith's eyes met his, and she started to fuss in Beth's arms, her tiny arms reaching out for him.

Riven stuck out his tongue at her, and instead of crying like babies usually did, she giggled.

Beth smiles, turning to face Riven, "she likes you. Do you want to hold her?" She questioned as her father finished wrapping Riven's wrists, moving to his leg wound.

"No.. I don't like babies." Riven replied, and Judith started to cry, and Beth grins as she walked over and placed Judith in his lap,

Riven instantly reached out to hold Judith as Beth moved back.

Judith stopped crying and looked up at Riven with a gummy smile. Riven looked down at her,

"Little asskicker, huh? I guess you could be the only exception..only cause you're kinda cute." Riven said, and Judith babbled,

Beth chuckles, a small blush on her cheeks, and Hershel noticed, and he sends her a look,

Beth sheepishly looked away, and hershel shook his head at her.

Riven let's out a small groan as Hershel peeled the bloody bandaged off his leg, and Hershal narrowed his eyes at the wound.

"It's infected." Riven looks down at his wound and grimaces in digust.

Judith leaned forward, her head on Riven's chest as if she was trying to comfort him in her own way.

"Lay down, so I can clean this." Hershel demanded, and Riven laid down, Judith next to him, his injured leg hanging off the bed,

Riven's eyes suddenly become heavy, they were slowly closing, and soon, his breathing even out.

"Now, this might hurt a little.." Hershel trailed off as he turned to look at Riven, who had fallen asleep, Judith sleeping next to him,

"It takes me forever to put her to sleep." Beth whispers, and hershel slightly chuckles before a clicking sound sounds, making him turn towards the sound,

Riley stood by the door with a camera in his hand, the Polaroid picture coming out of the camera, and he grins,

"This is golden." Riley chuckles before walking out of the cell,

Hershel shook his head before he started to disinfect Riven's wound.
