Abraham fixes a truck "Brian can you hand me the screwdriver" he holds his hand out Brian nods handing his a screwdriver he takes it "thanks" he goes back to work Brian stands on a chair watching him "is it hard" he looks at him "what". Brian looks at the truck "is it hard to fix these" he shrugs "depending on the problem it can be hard" he nods climbing off the chair "I'm bored I'm going to go play" he walks inside the house.
Abraham sighs "nothing I do seems to entertains this kid" "you have to think like Brian he's young he has the attention span of a goldfish" Rosita walks over. He sighs "I don't know what to do with him" she shrugs "he likes to read, play board games, and he likes to pretend" she walks inside. He crosses his arms thinking "what might he like to do" he snaps his fingers walking inside. He walks over to Sadie "can I take Brian hunting" Sadie looks at him "if you two stay close and come back if anything happens".
He nods grabbing his gun walking to Brian he kneels down "I'm going to take you hunting" he smiles Brian looks at him "ok" he stands up following him to the forest a little while away. Brian looks around smiling "I like the forest" Abraham smile rubbing his head. He kneels down behind a fallen tree "see that deer" he points at a deer Brian nods "yea its cute" he smiles he points his gun at it "its going to be your dinner" he shoots it. Brian shacks looking at it "you killed it" he yells hitting his arms "stop it kid I'm trying to keep you alive".
"You killed it you killed it" Brian keeps yelling hitting him Abraham grabs his arms "Brian stop we need to think about living it was either the deer or us" he sniffles looking at him rubbing his eyes "I don't like hunting" he mumbles. He sighs holding him close "I wont take you hunting again but I do want us to spend time together". Brian nods looking at the deer whimpering. He stands up looking around he spots a hoard of walkers "shit hold on kid" he picks him up running through the forest.
Brian holds onto him hiding his face in his neck "I want my mommy" he mumbles, "we're almost back" he rubs his back stopping to look where he's going. He runs to the store putting Brian in the passenger seat of the truck "lets go" he yells putting the crates and bags in the trunk. The others run out and look at the hoard. Eugene and Rosita get in the back Sadie gets in the passenger seat putting Brian in her lap. Abraham gets in the truck driving away from the hoard.
Sadie rubs Brian's back looking out the window "what the hell just happened" Rosita yells hitting Abraham. He keeps his eyes on the road "walkers followed us back to the store its that simple" she huffs "you could have gotten us all killed" she yells. "Stop both of you" Eugene looks at them "shut up Eugene" she looks at him he glares "no you will listen to me we're safe we aren't dead and you two are scaring Brian". Rosita looks at Brian sighing she sits down crossing her arms. Brian whimpers holding onto Sadie not liking the argument.
It's quiet in the truck this time it's an awkward quiet. Rosita and Eugene fall asleep in the back Sadie closes her eyes she looks like she's asleep. Abraham looks at Brian "I'm sorry I took you hunting I should have known you weren't ready" Brian kicks his legs "it's fine" he nods rubbing his head he smiles closing his eyes yawning. "You should get some sleep" he smiles Brian yawns "will you read to me mommy's already asleep" he sighs "alright".
He pulls over and takes Brian's book he reads to him and smiles. Brian yawns curling up on Sadie he keeps reading to him. He looks at him smiling closing the book as Brian falls asleep. He starts driving again and he keeps watching the road Sadie opens her eyes and looks at him "thanks for putting him to sleep" he looks at her "you were awake" she nods "yea I just needed to think about something". He nods looking at the road "what was it" she shacks her head "its not important" he nods leaning back holding the wheel "so do you still plan on going to Washington" Sadie looks at him he smiles "we'll go it'll be a nice break" she smiles "that's good we'll still be travelling together". And with that Abraham learned Brian hates hunting but he made up for it by reading to him and putting him to sleep. Abraham and Sadie talked most of the night until she fell asleep. Abraham and Sadie feelings for each other grew stronger as they talked through the night.
