Rick sat down next to Maggie's bedside.

Katie gave Rick Maggie's hand.

She slowly woke up.

"Are we close?" Maggie asked weakly.

"Yeah, we-we're getting there," Rick said, holding Maggie's hand in one hand, pushing her sweaty hair back with the other.

"I'll give you two a minute," Katie said, getting up and walking towards the front of the RV.

"Katie?" Rick called after her softly as she got up.

"I'm okay now. Really," Katie said, reassuring him that she wasn't as pissed off any more.

"Were there-- I heard shots," Maggie said weakly.

"Yeah, the Saviors, but they're gone now," Rick said reassuringly.

"We are. We are going to get you there," Rick promised Maggie.

"I know," Maggie croaked.

"You're going to be okay. The baby's going to be okay. This isn't it. This isn't it. There's more, there's gonna be more," Rick promised.

"I believe in you Rick," Maggie whispered weakly.

Katie wiped the tear from her eye before anyone could see.

Maggie was saying goodbye to Rick.

That's what that was.

Maggie wanted that to be the thought that she left her close friend and leader with.

Katie took a deep breath and moved forward towards the drivers seat.

She sat down in the floor next to Abraham.

"Abe, you might be a leprechaun on steroids, but I sure as hell don't think that there's a pot of gold at the end of this screwed up rainbow," Katie said with a sigh.

"Come on, Katie, the First Lady's gotta have a little hope," Abraham said.

"I've got hope. I've just got a lot more stress," Katie said.

"Oh shi---" Katie started to say.

"Mother dick," Abraham said, cutting her off and slamming on the brakes.

A large wall of logs and cut down trees was blocking their path.

"I don't think Eugene can bite down on this one," Katie said quietly to Abraham.

"No, ma'am, he can not," Abraham agreed.

Rick came up to the front of the RV.

"We getting out?" Sasha asked.
