"Everybody okay?" Rick's voice catches their attention, and everyone turns from their places in the common area outside the cellblock.
"Yeah, we are." Maggie says as MJ looks up at him. He pushes the gate open and walks into the common area.
"What about you?" MJ asks.
"I cleared out the boiler block." He says.
"How many were there?" Daryl asks.
"I don't know. A dozen, two dozen." Rick tells them. "I have to get back. Just wanted to check on Carl." He pats his son's back.
Glenn stands up. "Rick, we can handle taking out the bodies. You don't have to."
"No, I do." He says and then walks over to where Daryl's sitting. "Everyone have a gun and a knife?"
"Yeah." He nods. "We're running low on ammo though."
"I'm taking Maggie and Glenn on a run in a bit." MJ says as she stands up, cradling the baby in her arms. "Found a phone book with some places we can hit, look for bullets and formula."
"We cleared out the generator room." Daryl tells him. "Axel's there trying to fix it in case of emergency. We're gonna sweep the lower levels as well."
"Good. Good." Rick nods and then starts for the door.
"Hey!" MJ calls, but he keeps going. She sighs as she looks down at the baby.
"M?" Jack walks over, and she looks at him.
"Paranoia doesn't suit that handsome face of yours." She smiles. "We're gonna be alright, it's just gonna take some time."
"I can take her." Beth says as she walks over to MJ. The brunette carefully hands the baby to her.
"Why do you have to go on this run?" John asks as he looks at his daughter.
"Because going out there is dangerous, and I can't send our people out alone. Not after what just happened." MJ tells him.
"What just happened is exactly why you should stay here with your family." He says, and she looks over at him.
"Maggie and Glenn are my family too." She says. "I've been with them for almost a year, we've fought together — survived together."
"They aren't your family the way we are." He says, and she scoffs.
"Just when I think you're starting to change." She shakes her head as she turns away from him.
