After they all recovered from the shock and got well rested, Rick get out the maps and looked them over.
"We need to find somewhere we can stay permanently. It won't be safe traveling with a baby and eventually two," Rick says, looking at Lori, who's sleeping after morning sickness.
"I agree with Rick. It's too dangerous to stay out in the open," Dom says, taking a sleeping baby from a sleeping Brian and putting her in her car seat.
"Where would be safe though? We had thought the farm was safe," Hershel says, looking over the map.
"It needs to be somewhere with stone or brick walls," Dom says, looking at the map as well.
"How about the prison? It's got stone walls fifteen feet tall and only one gate otherwise," Hershel says, pointing to a spot on the map.
"How is it built?" Rick asks, noticing Dom tense up.
"Once inside the gate, there is an open yard with a drive to a fence surrounding the actual cell block," Hershel says, also noticing Dom tense.
"I don't like the thought either, Dom, but it would be safe for Brian, for Spero, for our family," Vince says from his spot on the floor with Daryl curled into him.
"Is there something you didn't tell is?" Rick asks, his hand going to his gun on his hip.
"I made a mistake and already paid for it. I swore I would never go to prison again," Dom says, tensing and stepping in front of Brian.
"What did you do?" Hershel says, stepping in front of Rick.
"I nearly beat a man to death," Dom says. Holding his hands out at his sides.
"Why?" Hershel says, keeping an eye on Rick.
"He killed my father and got away with it," Dom says, frowning as Spero starts crying.
"Our father used to race circuit. The man spun him into the wall. He never had a chance to get out before the car exploded," Mia says, picking Spero up and rocking her.
"We've all made mistakes, Rick," Hershel says, moving to check on Lori, who starts whimpering in her sleep.
"Is she okay?" Rick asks, forgetting Dom and moving to his wife's side.
"She's just having a nightmare," Hershel says, moving away.
"We should check the prison out," Dom says, sitting next to Brian, who was starting to wake up.
"Prison?" Brian mumbles, blinking his eyes open slowly.
"It's got a large stone wall surrounding it," Dom explains, running his fingers through Brian's hair.
"What if it's overrun?" Brian asks, taking a fussy Spero from Mia. Dom chuckles when Mia glares at Brian for immediately getting Spero to stop crying.
"If we can get into the yard, there's fence. We can close it and clean out the yard. Afterwards, we can slowly clear out the cell blocks," Rick says, watching Dom's interaction with Brian and hating himself for judging so quickly.
"When do we leave?" Dom asks, kissing Spero's forehead.
"We should let Lori sleep a little bit longer. She had a rough morning," Hershel says, helping Rick plan a route to the prison.
"How are you feeling, Bri?" Dom asks softly, running his fingers through Brian's hair again.
"I'm still really sore," Brian says. Trying to carefully shift into a more sitting position.
"That's to be expected," Dom says, helping Brian move.
"It's time to change the bandages," Mia says, walking over with fresh bandages.
"We should check the prison out," Brian says, wincing as Mia wipes the wound with an alcohol wipe before bandaging it. Once everyone is awake, they all eat before loading up into the cars. They drive close to the prison and are surprised to see the main gate is closed.
"How do we get in?" Glenn asks.
"We try to just open it. If it won't open, we'll climb it," Rick says, walking up to the fence with Hershel, Glenn, Daryl, Vince, Merle, and Dom.
"I don't see any walkers," Glenn says, looking around.
"I see some movement up in the main section. I would say the guards locked it down and then abandoned it," Rick says, testing the gate to fins it locked.
"Climbing it is going to draw any walkers right to us," Daryl says, looking around as Spero starts crying from the cars.
"The lil one is drawin 'em," Merle growls out as they all hear shuffling and moaning heading their way.
"It's also drawing them out here," Daryl says, shooting a walker getting close to the charger where Brian is trying to get Spero to quit crying. Dom quickly jogs over to the car to check on Brian, Hershel following him.
"I can't get her to stop," Brian says, eyes going wide as walkers pile up onto the gate of the prison.
"She's not ate in a while, but we don't have time to find the formula," Mia says, frowning as they hear resulting in the woods next to them.
"I can feed her," Lori says, smiling when Rick quickly moves to her side.
"Is that safe?" Brian asks, bouncing Spero.
"It is completely safe," Hershel says, helping Lori into the car as the rustling in the woods gets closer. Brian hands Spero to Lore and grabs his gun and knife from the glove box.
"Stay in the car, Bri," Dom says, checking his gun.
"You as well, Mia," Leon says, pushing Mia towards the driver seat.
"Jesse, get in the driver seat of the other car. If things get ugly, you and Mia are to get out of here," Rick says, making sure Brian, Mia, Lori, Carl, Carol, Beth, and Sophia are all in the two cars.
"We can't just leave you guys," Jesse says, looking about to cry.
"Yes, you can, and you will," Dom says. Kissing Brian's forehead and Spero's hand as Lori feeds her.
"Dom," Brian says, grabbing Dom's arm before he can shut the door.
"I love you, Bri," Dom says, kissing Brian before shutting the door and getting ready as the walkers break through the trees. There ends up being very few walkers and are quickly dispatched. They also quickly killed the ones at the gate of the prison.
