Carl and (Y,n) laid down in their bed with their baby girl resting in his wife's arms. This was all he could've hoped for. A family of his own. Growing up in a world that suddenly switched from a normal day at school to surviving people coming back from the dead this had to be the very last thing he thought that would happen but God knows Carl was over the moon.

"Is she breathing?" He whispered to her, reaching over to pull the soft blue blanket down that Carol made as a present to see her chest rise up and down,

"I hope you realize that you've asked me that five times already" (Y,n) chuckled, staring lovingly at her new husband.

"I'm just so nervous. Anthony was bigger than this when he was a month old, is this normal?" At times like this, Carl wished that Lori and Rick were here to answer any questions he had since Michonne haven't really stayed inside the Alexandria for more than three hours.

"I think so-"

"You think?"

"I know so, Carl. Not all babies are the same weight and size when they're born so this is normal" (Y,n) gave him a smile before looking back down at her baby girl,

"I guess I never thought about that since Judith and Anthony were pretty much the same size" Seconds later the handle of their room door started to wiggle.

"Speaking of the devil" They chuckled as the door opened revealing their two year old holding a stuffed tiger,

"Come here, buddy" Carl called out to him making him run towards the bed as his parents watch him struggle to climb onto the bed. Any other day they would help him but they wanted Anthony to learn how to fo it himself. Once the boy was on the bed he sat next to Carl while staring at his baby sister,

"Hey, are you hungry?" (Y,n) asked her son who simply nodded in agreement while continuing to stare at his sister as if he was trying to figure out why she was so small.

"Ma" He called out, "Work?"

"I'm off today" She answered him,

"Unless Eugene needs you to take over again" Carl complained while running a hand through Anthony's curly hair.

"Well, it is my job" She argued,

"And you just had a baby a month ago" Carl stood up and pulled his son with holding him with one arm, "Me and Tony are going make breakfast, come downstairs when you're ready".

Daryl, Connie, Henry, Lydia, and (Y,n) all stood outside of Alexandria waiting for Aaron to come back with Michonne. He wouldn't let them in. Not with Lydia by their side. A minute passed before Michonne looks over the tower above the gate,

"Henry's hurt. You were the closest" Daryl told out her, "We wouldn't have come but we don't have another choice".

"What about her?" Michonne asked, looking down at Lydia.

"She's with us" (Y,n) said sternly as their fearless leader stared at Daryl then to Connie and then back to (Y,n) before turning around whispering a conversation to Aaron.

"Open it!" Michonne called out, finally deciding to let them in. She leads them to the infirmary where Siddiq was more than willing to sew up Henry's wounded leg and of course Lydia stayed by his side with the others on the porch,

"So where to now? Straight to the kingdom?" Michonne asked Daryl as he washed the blood off his hands in a water bucket set out for him.

"Well, probably not straight but, yeah. Carol should know".
