Season 2

Bobbie's Point of View:

As I helped Lori fold laundry, we carried on a small conversation. It wasn't much, but we really didn't care as we were just folding laundry.

"Hey! We got your stuff!" Maggie suddenly yells.

"Maggie, hang on, please!" Glenn follows close behind her. She's pissed. Why? I don't know. But I know she's rubbing me the wrong way if she thinks she's about to pop off on Lori the way she is.

"Come-Come on in here." Lori softly says and tries getting Maggie to get into her tent.

"Why? Nothing to hide." Maggie growls as she digs in a bag and starts throwing things down. "We got your special delivery right here. We got your lotion, got your conditioner, soap opera digest."

"Maggie." Lori softly says.

"Next time you want something, get it your damn self. We're not your errand boys." Maggie growls. She kneels down and picks up small packets and throws it at Lori.

"Here's your abortion pills." Maggie growls. I quickly step in front of Lori, holding onto my knife and glaring up at Maggie. Maggie stares at me, her mouth falling into a smile and rolling her eyes.

"You really think I'd hit a pregnant woman?" She asks me. I pull my knife out and held it by my leg. She scoffs before walking off. Glenn stares at Lori and I both before walking off. I finally put my knife up and I begin picking up Lori's things. I pick up the abortion pills and I star up at her. I follow her into her tent and we sit down at the table.

"You okay?" I ask her. She lightly nods her head.

"Yeah. Thank you, Bobbie." She smiles at me.

"I got you. I always will. And...thank you for helping me." Lori stares at me for a moment before she wraps her arms around me.

"Nobody should go through something like that alone." She utters. I couldn't help but smile and hug her tighter. The sound of somebody walking in causes us to break the hug. I turn around and see Glenn.

"The blood on Maggie's shirt..." Lori starts.

"She was attacked." Glenn nods.

"Are you guys alright? How bad was it?"

"Pretty close."

"I'm so sorry. I should have never asked you to go." Lori wipes the tears from her.

"I offered." Glenn assures her.

"I thought that town was safe, but if you hadn't come back..."

"But we did. I always do." Glenn says. Lori smiles up at him.

"The morning-after pills. Will they work?" Glenn asks.

"I don't know if I want them to." Lori shakes her head.

"Then...I got these too. Just in case." Glenn hands Lori a paper bag. I can hear some rattling inside as Lori unfolds the paper bag and pulls out the item. She looks over it and a smile forms across her face.
