While 10kwas being recruited to being apart of woodbury, Rick and Glenn were scavenging homes for supplies Rick states.

"Your leg, how is it healing" he says pulling a cabinet off its hinges to get access to a few canned goods since it had rusted away.

Glenn rubbed his calf pulling up the pant leg there was a small bullet scar from where he was shot. "Fine, don't get pain anymore when I run" he replies showing Rick he was in no discomfort.

"'Good" Rick genuinely states before the 2 return to the others, they were in a house daryl had an exposed owl gutting it slashing the animals meat for later, everyone was used to the sight even Beth who had become way more used to the blood than she ever thought she would have.

Lori was sitting down holding her big round belly that had a child inside it, while this was happening Carl and Carol were looking for anything, Carl grabbed 2 can of food that he immediately went in the middle of the group to get a can opener he first however placed the gun he had with him, a pistol with a silencer on the floor showing the sharp constrast to how lori allowed him to carry back at the farm. About to open it michonne would gesture for Carl to stop, seeing it was dog food, she comments.

"We'll save it, might get really desperate", Carl realises that the food was for dogs just being hasty discovering a tin of anything.

Carl responds with a smile "or we might meet a dog".

Michonne had a bright smile rubbing his head Carl places the dog tin food in his bag, Rick speaks.

"Carl... don't waste space", this immediately brings down the mood, as Carl just sinks down placing the dog food back remarking.

"Lets hope the person who finds this needs it".

Rick simply nods "lets hope" says with a hopeless tone.

The crew would stay a while until Andrea gestures for the group that more walkers are coming, a dozen or so walkers, this obstacle  could easily be overcome but based on not wanting to waste the energy and resources they get ready to run only for Lori to grunt in pain. She tries getting up but physically can't before the contractions stop, Rick would go over to Lori, she puts her hand out she begins to control her breathing.

"I'm okay" she says repeating to reassure everyone including herself, lori woukd eventually get up but by this time the walkers near them had been killed off by daryl, michonne, Andrea and Glenn.

They didn't use a single gun shot and dealt with the walkers with ease, showing the level of experience they have in dealing with these monster. Lori would be practically carried carefully into the car the group drives off daryl leading them with his motorcycle (this would be a different bike from what he had at the farm since he left it there), after a while they stop taking out a map in order to determine where they are next heading.

Rick told Carl to be the lookout him accepting the mission wielding the gun he goes what he was told, michonne is about to get out to discuss when Lori stops her.

"Could we speak for a minute" she asks.

Michonne nods going back into the car, lori smiles.

"I just want to thank you for making Carl smile when I can't, he's my baby boy no matter how he wants to be seen" lori would look to Carl he was strong now independent and an actual functional member of the group, Carl's usefulness was more than loris at this point.

Michonne replies "you don't have to thank me... Carl reminds me of what I lost".

Lori speaks "promise me you'll look after him when I'm gone".
