Peyton's POV

I held hands with Carl and looked at Faith. She had fallen asleep. I looked up at Carl, and he smiled at me. "I missed you." I whispered to him. He kissed my forehead as I closed my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder. 

We soon drove up to a driveway and I see Rick walking out of the house looking a little mad and worried. Maggie quickly got out of the car. "What is this?" Rick asked.

"Rick listen to me please don't yell."

"You're telling me not to yell? You guys left without telling anyone, you never said anything you just left. How could I not yell?"

"Dad please be quiet!" Carl says to him getting out of the car. "We had a good reason, so please just calm down and we'll tell you everything." Rick looked up at the Lucas, Amanda, and Cole as they got out of the car.

"Why do you have new people here?" He asked looking at Carl. "Carl, we can't do this right now." Rick says turning.

"Dad, please listen." 

"Carl." I whispered, "Let me talk to him." I said quietly so Rick couldn't hear me. Carl helped me get out of the car and I looked at Rick and took a deep breath in. "Rick, Carl did have a good reason." Rick stopped where he was and turned.

"P-Pey?" I smiled and nodded.

"I know... I went crazy on you, but i'm so sorry about it. I... I just had to get you guys to hate me. I don't even know why anymore, but I do have a lot more medicine so i'll be able to control it..." Rick shook his head.

"You don't need to be sorry." He said as he went up to hug me. "Welcome back."

"Rick, there's one more thing you need to know."

"Huh?" I ran to the other side of the car and unbuckled Faith. I walked up to Rick with the half asleep baby in my arms.

"This is Faith... My daughter, and your grandchild. It's Carl's." He looked shocked and then looked at Carl then back at Faith.

"How old is she?"

"Two." I looked at him. "I know this is sudden, but I did try to look for you guys... I just couldn't find you yet... But then one day... I ran into these three on a run. I found you guys. I was so happy... When I tried to tell Carl about Faith, Lucas opened his mouth and confused Carl. Carl thought it was Lucas's."

"Wait so you've met before?" We nodded.

"On a run."

"Pey, come on there's people I know who would love to see you right now." I smiled and followed him. "Everyone we have announcement." Rick says. "I would like you to welcome someone to our group. Come on in." I slowly walked into the room, I left Faith with Carl for a second. I waited to keep her a surprise away I met everyone again. They didn't seem to recognize me at first.

"Hey."

"Oh my god." I looked over and saw Jessie. "Oh my god." She recognized me right away. "Your here and safe." Jessie ran to me crying and hugged me. "Pey.... I missed you so much."

"Pey?" I looked around the room and smiled. I talked to everyone again, full of tears and happiness. I was with my family again. I hugged Carol and Daryl tightly. I can never forget what they did for me, at the prison.

(A/N: If you don't remember this part it's the chapter where Maggie, Glenn, and Carl stopped talking to her, and Daryl and Carol stayed by her side and took care of her for that time. If you would like to see that chapter, I believe it's Ch 10: Why?)

"How have you been?" Carol asked me. Everyone was sitting or in the room with me. 

"I'm feeling well. Better than when I had to leave all of you." I gave her a small smile. "I don't know how I even met them again. If it wasn't for Amanda noticing them through the window, I still wouldn't have found you guys."

"Did you find more medicine?" Jessie asked. I looked at her. "I know you didn't want anyone to know-" I cut her off.

"It's fine Jessie. I know it's better to have them know now. It's helped me over the passed few years. Yes, I do have more medicine, A LOT more." 

"Peyton." I heard Lucas and turned. "Carl was wondering if you wanted to do it now." I smiled.

"Sure." I got up and turned to everyone. "I have one more surprise." I said to them. I walked out of the room and went to Carl. "Hey."

"Hey."

"Are you ready to show them?"

"Yeah." I took Faith from her father's arms and I walked back to the living room as Carl followed me.

I walked in and looked up at everyone. "I had a baby a few years ago. She's two years old, and she is Carl's child."

"Oh my gosh she's so pretty." I smiled and Faith walked to the group. She played and laughed with them. Carl came up behind me and hugged my back.

We're together again. My family and I.

Carl and I walked outside, and talked. "So, what are we going to do now?" I asked him.

"Hm... What do you mean?"

"Like... Are we going to stay here for the time being?"

"Well I don't know. We'll have to talk to everyone about this."

"Well it won't matter, cause I all need is you and only you." I said hugging him, we looked at each other and smiled.

"Welcome home Pey." He said to me as our faces got closer and we kissed. 

"Mommy! Daddy!" We separated and looked at the door to see Maggie, Glenn, and Rick with little Faith in his arms. 

"She wanted to see her parents." Maggie said. I smiled and looked at Carl who was smiling as well. Rick let Faith down and she ran to us.

"Mommy! Daddy!" I pick her up and kissed her forehead. I handed her to Carl and she started to giggle.

"Come on let's go inside." We walked into the house, and I closed the door softly. It was nice to be home with my real family again. 

"Pey." I looked up at my mom and smiled. 

"I missed you." I said as I hugged her and we went to join the others. I saw Carl whispering something in Faith's ear.

"Mommy, I wanna... show you something." Faith said with excitement.

"What would that be?" I asked her.

Faith ran up to me and hugged me and kissed my cheek. "I love you mommy." I smiled. 

"I love you too."
