Nathan holds Jillian's hand tightly, covering it with both of his hands while they look at the screen.
"There it is," the doctor says. "Would you like to know the sex?"
Jillian and Nathan look at each other and nod.
"Yes, please," Jillian smiles.
"Well," the doctor says, "it appears you'll be having a girl."
"Oh my god, thank you so much, doc," Nathan exclaims. He kisses Jillian's cheek.
"I'll be back soon, just got to file some paperwork, you'll be all set to go once I return," the doctor says.
"Thank you so much," Jillian says. The doctor smiles and nods before leaving the room.
"Do you have any names in mind?" Nathan asks her.
"How about 'Chloe,'" Jillian suggests.
"I love it," Nathan smiles, placing his hand on Jillian's cheek and kissing her lips.

Griffin patrols the borders of the wall, alongside his new girlfriend, Valerie.
"Well, this job certainly gets boring after all the creatures stop attacking," Griffin groans.
"Agreed," Valerie laughs. "Sure beats being a baiter, going outside of the base just to run back here with BCs hot on your trail."
"I don't know, I kind of miss it out there," Griffin says. "I haven't stepped foot outside these walls in months. I haven't felt the adrenaline coursing through my veins in what feels like ages."
"Maybe some day we'll have to go back out there," Valerie says. "One thing I've learned is that nothing this good lasts.
"You're right," Griffin agrees. "I'm sure that some day, this place will crumble, and we'll be out on the road again, searching for some sort of safety. I used to live in a bunker with Nathan, Jillian, Chloe, and a few other people, but we ditched it for this place."
"Do you regret it?" Valerie asks.
"I don't know. I liked it there, but if we never left, I never would've met you. It's bittersweet, I suppose."
"We should go back there, if things ever go south. We can grab Nathan, Jillian, and their kid, and we'll just head there," Valerie suggest.
"That sounds great to me," Griffin smiles. "Maybe our story will have a sequel after all."
