Kaia had never felt more free than she did riding on the back of Daryl's bike, smiling as the wind threatened to push her hood back. They hit a bump, causing her to yelp as it forced her body to be right against Daryl's. She heard him take a sharp intake of breath as her chest was pressed tightly against his back and she smirked. Slowly, her arms snaked around his body and her hands traveled up his chest. She felt him tense slightly as she rested her chin on his shoulder.

"What are ya doin'?" he asked over the sounds of the wind and motorcycle.

"Oh, nothing," she whispered in his ear, lips brushing against it slightly which earned her a shiver from him. He turned to glare at her, but stopped when he realized how close her face was.

"Yer goin' to be the death of me," he grumbled just as they came to a stop in a small town with maybe three or four lingering walkers.

Kaia grinned, getting off the bike with ease just as the walkers turned their attention towards them. She started walking towards them like it was totally normal, reaching for her spear in her pack. A walker reached for her and she stabbed it in the eye with the spear, pulling out her pistol with the silencer and shooting two more in the head. She smiled happily as she saw an arrow fly by and nail one in the head. Glenn and Maggie pulled up in the Hyundai and stared at Kaia, whose spear was still dripping with walker blood. They looked at Daryl and he shrugged.

"She got em before I could even get off," he said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Looks like you're losing your touch," Glenn joked, but quickly shut up when Daryl sent him a harsh glare.

"So, what do we even hav' ta get?" Kaia asked, stretching her arms above her head and still grinning from her killing of the undead. Maggie looked at her curiously before digging the list out of her pocket. Reading over it, she handed it to Kaia.

"Looks like just stuff for Judith." She looked toward Kaia. "Ya know how to shop for babies, right?"

Kaia rolled her eyes, grabbing the list. "Yeah, yeah. I've done it a time or two." She looked around, heading towards the nearest baby store.

Daryl rolled his eyes, following after her. "Yer not 'sposed to go alone, Ewok," he grumbled, causing her to stop and glare at him.

"I ain't no little fuzzball from Star Wars. Besides, I only call ya Robin 'cause I don' know yer name," she said, grabbing a basket and heading towards the formula aisle. "Also, I've been on my own for over a month. I know how ta handle myself." She grabbed the formula before glancing at the list again. She moved to go to the next aisle, but he grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"I'm 'sposed to tell Rick how well you play with others. Either I stick with ya or we leave ya here and you can fend for yerself," he said. Kaia glared at him sharply, pulling her arm from his grasp and going to the next aisle. Daryl sighed, running a hand down his face. He watched as she picked out different clothes for Lil' Ass Kicker, noticing how carefully she looked at the tags to make sure she got the right size.

Kaia quietly sang to herself as she made her way through the store, feeling Daryl's squinty eyes watching her the whole time. She got an uneasy feeling in her stomach suddenly and looked around as she grabbed the last item. She walked out of the store, Daryl still behind her, and handed the basket to Maggie.

"Here ya go. Stuff for the sheriff's baby." She got the uneasy feeling and looked around again. Her eyes widened as she saw a blonde head on top of one of the roofs. "No, no, no." She took off running then, going into an alley as Daryl called after her. She ignored him, running up the stairs along the building and to the roof.

There, laying on the floor, was a woman. Her sandy blonde hair was pulled into a loose ponytail, which was close to falling out. Her dark green skinny jeans were dirtied and there was a giant blood spot on her let thigh. She had several cuts and bruises along her arms and face, along with a long, bleeding gash on her forehead. Her light blue top was also a mess, pushed up her her waist where a large bruise was forming. Kaia ran to the figure, kneeling down beside her and looking at her right arm to see the cursive 'K' tattooed on her bicep.

"Oh, God. Ash?" she said weakly, shaking the figure gently. "Please wake up. Ash!"

Ash stirred slightly, her blue eyes barely opening to see Kaia above her. She smiled a weak smile before coughing slightly, blood splattering on the front of Kaia's vest. Kaia felt tears prick her eyes as she hugged her close.

"Don't you dare die on me, you bitch," she said softly, gently laying her down as she pulled out a rag from her sack. She wrapped it tightly around her leg and Ash groaned in pain.

"I...see you're pleasant...as always," she said softly, smiling. Kaia choked out a small laugh as she applied slight pressure on her leg, blood getting her hands.

"I found people. They're holed up in a prison. I can get them to take us there." She took out another rag and dabbed around her face, careful of the bruises. Tears were streaming down her face as she smiled down at Ash before picking her up gently, causing the girl to wince in pain. "I know, I know. I promise it'll be okay," she said gently as she stood, turning around to see Daryl staring at them.

He crossed his arms and nodded slightly, causing Kaia to smile a grateful smile. She walked towards the stairs, holding the girl close as blood started to soak on to her vest. She walked down the stairs and to the Hyundai carefully, tears still streaking her face. Glenn and Maggie stared at her then at the small girl in her arms.

"Please. She's not bit. She needs help," she said, cradling the girl closer to her.

"Jus' let her take 'er," Daryl grumbled, getting on the bike and looking at them. The pair nodded, opening the back door of the car. Kaia gently set her down in the seat and kissed her forehead.

"I'll see ya back at the prison. I promise you that. We won't be separated again." Ash nodded as Kaia closed the door, climbing onto the back of the motorcycle again and wrapping her arms around Daryl. He turned to look at her as if to ask something, but she cut him off. "Don't say anything. Just drive," she said, leaning her forehead between his shoulder blades. He nodded, starting the bike as Glenn and Maggie took off towards the prison with them following. Kaia's face was still streaked with tears as she held onto him tightly, thanking God for the miracle he'd given her today.

A/N: Okay, so emotional chapter. ._. This actually was an idea that a friend of mine gave me, so I really hope you enjoyed this. Please review and give me feedback~ (and yes, Kaia is a Christian, but she isn't very religious. At all. ._.)
