Daryl explained where he was. He and Carol found saw the car that captured Beth and followed it to Atlanta. Carol and Daryl met a young guy named Noah who has been captured by the group of people that also held Beth, a group of police officers that lived in the Grady memorial hospital. Daryl decided to take Noah back to the church, but then Carol got hit by a car from Grady. The injured woman was taken back to the hospital.

"They have Beth?" asked Maggie.

"Yeah, they do" replies Noah.

"You had to escape, what kind of people are they?" asked Rick.

"Mixed" Noah said. "There are good ones and bad ones. The bad ones are sadly in charge. It's not great place for women who aren't cops. Some of the them get a little…"

"Get a little what?" asked Maggie, afraid that Noah meant the one thing that no woman deserves.

"You're sister is young an' blond an' pretty, and there are a lot of guys, so you can guess what'd happen if she is there too long" says Noah.

"Noooo!" Maggie said, getting tears in he eyes "We fuckin' get there now an' blow the place up an' kill 'em all! Just like Terminus!"

The young woman was full of anger and wanted to go immediately to get her sister, so Rick tried to calm her down.

"We're gonna get ya sis', I promise ya', but we gotta plan! There are a lot of 'em, but we have the element of surprise, somethin' they ain't! We figure out their numbers an' shifts an' get Beth, I promise!" Rick said. "Glenn, say somethin'!"

"Rick's right! We need to do this with a clear head! We know 'bout them, they don't know about us! Like Rick said, we have to plan this through!" tried the Asian.

"Don't ya get it? M' sister, ya sis-in-law, might get gang-raped at this very moment and ya just wanna fuckin' plan? I fuckin' say…"

"Calm the hell down!" Lilly interrupted the young woman. "Everyone in this church is ready to go to Atlanta and save your little sister! We all want to help, but in order to do that we gotta be smart and have the same opinion! We achieve nothing if we can't work together!"

"Yeah, ya'r to say that of all people! Ya fucked the man who killed m' dad! An' where were ya when ya kid needed ya? Ya told Tara what happened, back at the camp, right? An' she told me! Ya were too busy watchin' some fucking river that ya didn' notice a walker get ya little girl! Ya can' even keep ya own kid safe, so how could I expect ya to save my sis'? An' I gotta ask why Rick keeps a bitch like ya take care of Judith?!"

Lilly's calmness she just had was gone when Meghan's name was mentioned. It was her fault, it was, but that Maggie threw it at her face like that was too much.

Lilly ran to the younger woman quickly and pushed her on the floor of the church. Maggie wasn't able to stop her.

"You don't fucking say my daughters name in front of me!" Screamed Lilly while striking her fist in Maggie's face. She was able to get two strikes on Maggie, before someone started to pull her off the young woman. It was Rick.

"Get off her!" shouted the Ringleader. "Glenn keep, we gotta separate 'em before they kill each other!"

"No! I want to give that cheeky bitch a lesson!" shouted Lilly, still wanting to beat Maggie.

"I'm sorry" Rick muttered as he grabbed his revolver and knocked her out.

An hour or so later:

Lilly woke up in the priest's office, her hands tied with duck-tape. Rick was looking at her.

"You're awake" he said. "I'm sorry for ya bein' tied, but Glenn wanted it. Maggie's in the other room, tied too"

"Fucking cunt" Lilly whispered as Rick mentioned the name if the younger woman.

"I get it, ya snapped, but ya were still so violent…" Rick said.

"Violent? What are you? You killed that man back at the house, you ripped out Joe's throat and hacked Gareth to death with a machete!"

"I did what I had to do for my group!" replied Rick.

"Yeah, but you haven't felt the lost I have! My child is still dead! You're son is alive and well! Your daughter came back and is well and you seem to be as happy as it someone can in a shitty world like this! I've tried to get along with ya people, but most of 'em look at me like 'm some sort of monster! And ya see me as some sort of solution to your needs! I didn't know what he was and I am truly sorry for what he did to ya, but none of you seem to notice what he did to me!"

Rick looked at her. He clearly wasn't able to put anything against her after this statement, but he remained silent for a moment.

"Ya mean more to me than that. You're more to me than just a sex-thing. I can be with you something I can't be with the others. Ya don't seem to question me and accept me as what I am. I can put m' guard down while I'm with ya. Ya mean so fuckin' much to me, and I've known ya for a week"

Rick came up to her, cut the duck-tape with his knife and pulled her into a kiss. His hands explored her body and one ended up in her hair, the other one slid into her jeans. Rick's mouth left hers and planted a few soft kisses on her throat.

"Ya mean so fuckin' much to me. I fuckin love ya. And I mean with that not ya body or what ya can do with m', even if 'm not complaining bout it, I fuckin' love ya bein' there. Being a partner. A mate. Not just a lover or girlfriend" he whispered to her.

"I…" Lilly gasped as his fingers hooked inside her clit. "I love you too. And I love your children too. I want you to know that I'll put Judith and Carl in front of myself and I'll stay with you three no matter what happens. But, Rick, you gotta stop now, the others could hear"

"Hmm…I should" he muttered. "Ya still should talk with Maggie, clear the air"

"I'll try, my love"

An hour later:

The two brunettes were facing each other now.

"I'm sorry" Maggie mumbled. "About you daughter. You were trying to be reasonable an' I shitted all over ya. Ya didn' deserve it"

"Yeah, you were, but I'll get it. Your dad… I'm sorry for being part of it" Lilly replied. "I should have seen what he was. And I killed him, even tough it won't bring 'em back"

"Thanks for doin' that still" replied Maggie. "But you're right. Your daughter, my dad, all those others, they ain't coming back no matter what we do"

"Yes, we can't save them anymore, but we can save your sister, Beth, from Atlanta"

For all Beth-lovers, she's gonna make it in this fic! Please review and spread the word.

On the possible baby-thing: Should Rick or Governor be the daddy of the possible-child. I've gotten mixed opinions about the thing.
