Alli's POV

It has been months since we were on the road. We were trying to find a new home or even a nice place for mom to give birth at as she is due to pop here anything now. I know giving birth in the car or even a tent is not what mom wants to happen. Dad was driving a van with Beau and I in the back with Carl who had his head on my lap sleeping as was I my head on Beau's shoulder.

I was shook awake and held my knife to the person, "Easy there Bear it's me." Dad said. "Jesus dad." I said. "You sleep with that?" He asked. I nodded, "Come on there's a house we can scavenge." He said. "Where's Beau?" I asked. "With Daryl they went hunting but found a house." I nodded then got up and out of the car which Carl woke up, "Can I come?" He asked. I gave dad a come on look, "Fine but remember what I told you." "Whatever." I put my gun belt on and jacket as Carl got ready dad walked away.

I slapped Carl on the head, "Ouch what the..." "Stop it mom and dad are going through stuff already they don't need your angsty teenage bullshit on top of it." "What about your bull..." "Watch it." Carl stomped off as I walked over to Dad.

"You're taking the front with me, Carl stay with us. Glenn, Maggie sweep the outside. T-dog and Dixons go in the back." Dad said. "If it's cleared out we can stay the night here at least." I said thinking about maybe mom could sleep in a house for the night. "Be nice to sleep with a roof over our heads." Beth mumbled. "No shit." Carl said. "Carl." Mom said annoyed. Beau slapped his head, "Watch your fucking mouth." Beau said. Daryl chuckled as I shot a look to the Dixon boys, "Sorry." They said. "It's a good idea well do that." Dad said. "While we sweep everyone stay until you hear the whistle." I said. They nodded as I walked with dad up the steps.

Dad counted down from three and kicked the door open shooting a walker with his silenced pistol while I threw my knife in the head of another. We walked in, "Alli go down the hallway, Carl the kitchen, I'll sweep the other room." Dad whispered. Carl rolled his eyes as I nodded.

I walked down a long dark hallway which I used the flashlight Beau and I found scavenging. I saw a door at the end. I raised my pistol that was also silenced ready to shoot at whatever's about to pop out at me. I went to turn the knob when the door got kicked in. I raised my pistol only to be met by a bow and arrow, "Sorry I heard footsteps." Beau mumbled. "Jesus I am just glad it's you." I said. He chuckled and kissed my head, "Where's the other two Grimes boys?" He asked. "Carl's in the kitchen dad's sweeping the other side of the house. Daryl, T-dog?" I asked. "Upstairs told 'em to."

I nodded and walked to the kitchen, "Anything?" I asked my little brother. "No it's picked over." Carl said. The side door opened where Glenn and Maggie walked in, "Clear." Glenn said. I nodded as we all met at the main entry way, "Clear?" I asked T-dog and Daryl who was plucking an owl. Carl looked at him grossed out and went to say something, "Zip it." Dad whispered to him. Carl nodded and stayed by Beau.

I whistled quietly which the rest of our group came in. Carl went back to looking in the kitchen for food. Everyone got settled into the living room. I leaned into Beau who was munching on some crackers he found from a few houses ago. He held some to me as we were by mom, "Mom." I said. She looked at me as I held the crackers to her, "You should eat." She said. "You're eating for two." I said. She smiled softly taking the crackers but handing some over to Beau and I, "Eat." She said. "I'll put 'em in my bag if you need 'em ask." Beau said. Mom nodded, "Thank you Beau."

There were footsteps which were my little brother which I saw tin cans but made a grossed out face as it wasn't human food. "Is that dog food?" Beth asked grossed out. Carl nodded as he opened the can, "Want some?" Carl asked. "I am okay." She mumbled. Dad walked over taking it from him then threw it into the fire place which caused me to jump. Beau put his arms around me more protectively. Dad looked at everyone in the group. He's changed since the farm ever since the night he gave his speech something's changed.

I stood up as did Beau going to dad, "We saw a garage we're gonna check it out maybe there's something in there." I said to dad. "Be careful." He said. "I will." Mom looked at me worried, "Mom I'll be okay." I said. Beau and I walked out to the garage that was slightly opened. Beau looked inside, "Hey check it out." Beau said. We lifted the door to see a pick up truck that doesn't even look touched.

"Keys?" He asked. I got in and looked around. I checked the visor and showed Beau, "See if she starts." Beau said. I turned the key and it clicked. Beau took a look, "I see the problem he unhook the positive charge." Beau said. He put that back on, "Try now." I tried again this time it turned over, "Yes." I said. "Scoot over." I sat in the passenger seat as he pulled out of the garage when I saw our group, "Where'd you find this?" Dad asked. "Garage." "Can your mom ride?" I got out and opened the door for her, "Here mom." I said. She climbed in as dad tossed me my backpack. I closed mom's door then got in as our group drove off on the road again.
