Thanks ORgirl528 for your votes and comments, much appreciated and much love to you 💚 also gals go check out her Daryl Dixon story!!

~~~~~~

Rick returns to the prison and informs Maggie, and Ava who had been clearing a large herd of walkers at the fence, about banishing Carol for killing two of their own, Ava is shocked.

Inside the quarantined A Block, conditions continue to worsen for those infected by the deadly virus. Hershel tends to the patients, with the aid of Sasha and Glenn, Hershel starts closing everyone's cell doors, following the advice of the dying Dr. Caleb Subramanian, and kills those who succumb to the virus away from the others' view.

~~~~~~

After being told of Carol's exile, Hershel returns to the cell block, where he discovers an unconscious Hunter, whom he revives, leaving a cell with a female walker open. A man Glenn is manually ventilating dies; when Glenn attempts to call for help, he starts choking on his own blood and passes out.

~~~~~~

Lizzie finds Glenn as the intubated man reanimates as a walker, and calls out for Hershel. This alerts the female walker, who attacks Hershel. Chaos erupts as the walkers proliferate within the cellblock; Hershel kills the zombified Dr. Subramanian to retrieve his weapons to kill the walkers, while Lizzie lures the intubated walker away from Glenn.

Rick, Maggie and Ava hear gunshots from the prison, and Rick tells Maggie to help her father, while he asks Ava to help with the fence.

~~~~~~

Returning to the side of an unconscious Glenn, Hershel realizes he needs the bag valve mask still strapped to the intubated walker, and wrestles it for the bag. Maggie heads to the visitation room, kills remaining undead and shoots the intubated walker, allowing Hershel to retrieve the bag for Glenn. Outside, the fence gives way and a horde of walkers get in. Rick and Ava arm themselves with assault rifles and gun them down.

Right after they finish, the van with Daryl, Michonne, Tyreese and Bob arrives with the medicine needed for the remaining sick, and Ava reassures him that they would be all right.

~~~~~~

Ava's P. O. V

Once Daryl had gotten out of the van I ran to him, "did ya get the medicine?" I ask as I hug him "yah let's go" "oh and Dare, I gotta tell ya something after we give the medicine to Hershel" he gave me a confused look but nodded anyway. Once we had given the medicine to Hershel and he assured me and Daryl that Hunter will be fine soon as he gives him the medicine I grab Daryl's hand and lead him to our cell "ya better sit down for this Dare" I say as he sits on our bed "what is it Ava?" I took a deep breath "Dare, I'm pregnant" he looked at me for a few seconds before a smile spread across his face "that's great! Ava" he says as he hugs me "we will tell Hunter when he gets out yah?" "Yah" I say as he puts his large hand on my still small stomach then bends down slightly "ello there sweetheart, I'm ya dad" he said softly before placing a kiss there.

Tyreese goes and cradles his sister in his arms, while Bob goes to administer drugs to Glenn. Hershel returns to the cell of Dr. Subramanian, opens his Bible and breaks down into tears for his fallen friend.

~~~~~~

The next morning, Michonne loads the walkers' corpses in a truck, and she and Hershel leave the prison to dispose of them. As Rick and Carl tend to their crops, a man is observing the prison from beyond the gates: The governor.
