Glenn followed after Merina as she walked to Shane, Rick, and Andrea. She was too far in her mind to listen to their conversation and to pass the binoculars. Glenn flickered Marina temple making her wince and punch his arm.

She noticed all eyes were on her, making her squirm. “Binoculars.” Shane said, she noticed the binoculars around her neck.

“Oh, right.” Merina mumbled before taking off the binoculars and passing them over, she darted off before anyone got a chance to say anything else, Glenn went after her. Her eyes flickered to Lori, the Rhee siblings.

Merina and Glenn stopped a few feet away from Lori, the older women looked up before her eyes flickered between the two. “Does he know?” Lori asked, her eyes on Merina.

“It's not her fault, I forced it out of her.” Glenn said, letting out a sigh as he glanced at Merina before looking back at Lori. “Did you tell Rick?”

The older women stayed quiet, letting out a sigh. The Rhee siblings got their answer, Rick still doesn't know. Glenn dragged his hand through his hair, “You have too, you're pregnant,”

“Lori, you need vitamins, medicine, a nice pillow.” Merina said quietly before grabbing the jerky and a single peach off the peach basket. “Here, you can have ours.”

Lori sighed and looked at Merina, “Kids, I don't want your food, okay? Eat.” Lori said with a sigh, shaking her head.

“You need to eat, you're too skinny.” Glenn said with a sigh, his face filled with worry. “And if your not going to let Rick take care of you, then somebody has to.”

“Lori, you have a medical condition,” Merina said as she blocked the women's path. “If you need one of us to run into town, we'll go but you need to tell us what you need.”

“I need you to be quiet about this, please.” Lori said before looking at the pair before walking off. Merina sighed before looking towards Glenn who shrugged.

“Hey Peach siblings!”

Merina rolled her eyes before walking to the basket and picking it up before the two continued to pass out the fruit.

Soon the group began to pack up for gun training, the Rhee siblings watched standing next to the swing. Shane turned around and noticed the pair, “You two coming?” Shane asked.

“Are you implying we can't shoot?” Merina retorted, Glenn elbowed her in the stomach, she winced and smacked his arm.

“I gotta help Dale, clean the spark plugs in the RV. He said he's gonna teach me mechanics.” Glenn said crossing his arms. “I should probably go find him.”

“You found me.” Dale's voice said from beside him, Dale gave Glenn and Merina a confused look before looking at Shane. “He's a good learner.”

Shane's eyes flickered over to Merina, “And you?” he asked his hands on his hips.

“I'll go with him.” “She'll go with me.” Glenn and Merina said at the same time, they glanced at each other before giving each other a glance.

Shane shook his head at the Rhee siblings before getting in his car, Dale walked over over to the pair. “Want to tell me what's going on?” Dale asked, his eyes flickering between the twins.

“You're... You're old.” Glenn said, looking at Dale, swallowing nervously. Merina rolled her eyes. “What if somebody told you something that that could-” Merina slapped the back of his head, making him wince.

“Stop being drama and spit it out-” Dale said plainly, raising his eyebrows at the two.

Glenn swallowed, “Lori's pregnant.” Glenn said, looking at Dale.

“-And there's walkers in the barn.” Merina quickly added and narrowing her eyes onto the ground. Glenn and Dale looked at her panicked.

Dale flickered his eyes at Glenn, he raised his hands in surrender. “I did not know about that one.” Glenn said.

The trio stayed in silence, Dale and Glenn was trying to process the information. Before anyone could say anything, Maggie walked over. “Merina, my dad needs to see you.” Maggie said, her eyes flickering between the group before walking off.

Merina hummed before looking at Dale and Glenn before rushing off in the direction of Maggie. Merina didn't bother to say anything to the farmer, it was awkward. Maybe it was because the two planned to have a night together but Merina found out their deepest darkest secret. It was like a date going every wrong, Though Merina has never been on a date.

The two made it to the house, Maggie led the girl upstairs to the room she had been staying in since she gotten injured. She knew the drill, she laid down on her opposite side, and raise her shirt, just barely up to see her wound.

Maggie was quick to talk out and shut the door behind her, after a few moments, Hershal came in with a tray of supplies. “good morning, Merina.” Hershel said politely, setting down the tray on the bed.

“Good morning, Mr. Greene.” Merina said quietly, she felt a warm rag on her side.

“Let's get these stitches out.”

Merina laid still before closing her eyes, letting the man work. There wasn't any pain, but she did feel a lot of tugging and pressure, also she was uncomfortable, her body was a home to scars, more than she cared to admit. Some from before and after the world ended, and didn't like talk about it. She didn't like her shirt raised Incase no one sees the scarring.

After she was finished, Hershal and her said goodbye and she thanked the older man before heading back out to camp, not looking at Maggie on the way out of the house.

Merina sighed, heading back to the camp but she froze when she saw Lori heading over to her. Merina started to cuss herself out in her head, biting her lower lip as her nervousness grew.

Her eyes flickered for any escape, but didn't see any so she had to face the pregnant woman.

She's dead.
