Maggie fell to the floor and cried in pain.

"Enid! Get someone! Hurry!"

"Glenn's still not back; I need to be there for Maggie!" Enid cried.

"Enid. Please. You're my best friend; I can't lose you," I argued.

She looked at me with saddened eyes.

"I'll be there for Maggie. You stay here. Protect Alexandria," I sighed and looked down.

We both stood there in silence. She slightly nodded, and I looked at her.

"Please come back," she begged. I pulled her into a hug.

"You know, I will."

I followed Carl out to the R.V. Rick was hesitant in letting us go, but I needed to be there for Maggie.

"You ready?" Carl asked me, looking me in the eyes.

I nodded, and he kissed my temple. Rick walked in, and everyone was ready.

"Let's go."

I sat in the back with Maggie, continually asking if she needed anything. She just weakly shook her head.

"We'll get there. The baby will be okay," I said quietly to her and held her hand.

She shakily smiled; it was so subtle that you could hardly make it out.

"Wait. C-can you sing for me?" She croaked.

I immediately knew why. Beth and I used to sing, and it must be comforting for her. I nodded my head and held her hand.

"Any requests?" I offered.

"The song that Beth sang back at the prison," she painfully spoke.

(Play the song)

"They hung a sign up in our town
"if you live it up, you won't
live it down."
So, she left Monte Rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
She went and took that California trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said don't look back, just
Come on Jim
