11.) Months and Months

A/N:
Extra long chapter for my supporters and my fans. This chapter is dedicated to @autumn5767 you guys all need to follow her and read her Henry fic as well - it's incredible. She supported me when I was in need and she is so amazing.
You may be thinking its a good thing that i wrote a long chapter but when i originally decided to write the long chapter i didn't realize i would make it this far in the plot line so this is me typing this after i wrote the entire chapter and i shall warn you that it is intense and it played with my heart while i wrote it so...
Enjoy the extra long chapter everybody xx

"No, we can't do that!" Rick hissed. "If we go in that way, we'll be caught. If we go through here, only one of them will get out. We need both of them," he shook his head.

Its been awhile. Navy is about 7-8 months pregnant by now, Henry is still in critical condition, and Daryl has been tortured and beaten to the point where he's about to break.

The groups have already tried retrieving their people. Twice. 2 times is all it needed for them to learn what not to do... but they still don't know what to do.

"We can't risk anymore lives until we're positive of what we're doing," Rick told the group.

"Yeah. After the last attack, I have no idea what we could do," Enid shook her head.

"We need to go past here..." Maggie started as she moved the objects representing people and objects involved. "In the middle of the night. Send a couple of the whisperers there. If it looks clear, then they'll sneak in by going underneath the wall... they get Daryl. With them is this," Maggie moved available weapons and bombs with the rock that symbolized the whisperers.

"He can't carry all that," Ezekiel said.

"It'll be in parts. Daryl will help them put it together. Somebody will sneak off, kill the guards guarding Navy's door..."

"No. There are multiple watch towers that are watching her room. Negan put her somewhere special," Jimmy said. "If she left the room to walk somewhere then it would work. Only one person watches her when she leaves."

"We can't sneak in though," Jesus said. "They'll catch us. We can't take the risk."

Rick shook his head, looking down. "Then Daryl will have to break her out. We'll have to tear them down from the inside."

It took a long time for the group to come up with a solid plan. They argued about it for hours, days, even weeks. But they finally came up with something.

None of them were 100% positive it would work. They all doubted it, but it was worth the risk.

"The hardest parts are getting the supplies to Daryl, and Daryl being able to get away from that place with Navy without them catching up to them," Jimmy explained to Henry.

"Is the baby okay?" Henry asked weakly.

"From what I've seen, yes. I know they're starving her... but last time I saw her walking around she had a decent bump." Jimmy told him as he scratched Cooper. "I'm going to take Sam over to Oscar's, let him play for a few hours. Navy is... we need to get her out of there. She's almost 7 months... it feels weird how she's been gone for this long." Jimmy sighed as he looked down at the dog he was patting. "We need to get her out of there. I think we're gonna send the supplies in tonight." He looked up at Henry. "Sam will be tired for you. But everybody's going to be here in case he gets anxious again."

"Wait - you're going?" Henry asked.

"I have to," Jimmy responded. "Only one person can go. I'm the best at sneaking around out of all the whisperers. Don't worry about me. Worry about Daryl. If anything goes south, if anybody gets hurt, it's gonna be him. He knows this. He loves taking risks, both you and I know that," Jimmy said with a small smile. "I won't get hurt. Neither will Navy."
