The next day was a normal day...well as about as normal you can get in an apocalypse. I was downstairs on the sofa with Noelle. I had just finished giving her, her breakfast and was right now cuddling her.

It's great to not have this anticipation and just being able to be a mother to her, Carlos says that being left alone with her for a few days could have gone either way. One way it could have gone is me freaking out completely and leaving her behind or it could have gone the way I did and just go on with it and hope for the best.

Collie and Sam are still going strong, Noelle is very curious about what they are but they let her touch their ears and tails. Katilin is doing great with Christa and Omid, she is also confused as to what Noelle is but like's to play with her anyway.

It is hard having two babies in an apocalypse but I wouldn't get rid of either of them. I looked up and saw Christa come in holding a squirming Katilin.

"You ok?" I asked nodding at Katilin.

"Yeah fine, just this one being fidgety" Christa replied.

"Hard work isn't it?."

"Yeah, I feel guilty."

"Why would you feel guilty?" I asked surprised.

"Because taking on someone else's baby after being killed, I don't know just feels wrong to me."

"Christa you wouldn't have left her there with Rebecca being ripped apart and then she would have had the same fate...if anything I think Rebecca would have wanted you and Omid to take Katilin should anything have happened to her."

Christa gave me a confused look "how would you know?."

"Just before Rebecca went into labour she asked why you looked so sad around her and I told her what happened and she looked upset afterwards."

"You told her!."

"Yeah, but I thought she should know...she didn't change how she was around you anyway."

"I just hope me and Omid can come up to scratch taking care of her."

"You two will be great parents to Katilin as you would've to your own."

Christa gave me a sad smile "thank's Clementine but adopting is great but there's nothing like having your own."

"I bet but after this is all over you and Omid can try again, your not old yet Christa."

That got a little laugh out of her...that's when we heard shouting from outside. Worried we both got up with the two babies and went outside to see what the hell was going on.

When we got outside we saw Nick, Alpha, Kim and Andrew shooting at some walkers that were trying to get a young woman and saw that they had already got some guy. I covered Noelle's eyes so she didn't have to see this, I know she doesn't understand but hey just being a good mum. I saw Chritsa doing the same to Katilin.

When they were all shot dead Luke quickly picked up the young woman and brought her inside with everyone else following.

Luke lead her to the sofa and sat her down, Carlos got some medical supplies and brought them over to her and cheakced her over. This young woman had short brown hair, grey pants, an organe shirt, beige leather jacket and black combat boots.

"Well...any bites?" Alpha asked.

"Not that I can see, just a few scrapes and scratches" Carlos replied as he cleaned up the small wounds.

"Just leave me the fuck alone asswhole I can take care of myself" said the young woman.

"Look, we just wanna help...now tell us your name" Luke said calmly.

"Jane."

"Well Jane I'm Luke and this is-" he was cut of by Jane saying

"I know who you are, you were the group that escaped Carver's camp."

"Yeah how do you know?" I asked.

"Because I was there, I was in the background not wanting to be noticed...that other gut I was with out there Mike he was there aswell."

"Well not all of us were from there...Kim, Alpha, Carter, Sarayhtah, Dante and Andrew are some that joined us later" Luke said.

"Where's the rest of the group you were with?."

"They didn't make it" Luke said.

Jane nodded and by then Carlos had finished clean her wounds. "Well, thanks for your help but I'm going."

"Woah hey you don't need to go" Luke suddenly said. Why is Luke doing this?, if she wants to go let her go.

"Why?" Jane asked.

"You have just been cleaned up and are probably tired so just stay the night and go in the morning."

Jane thought about it for a second and then nodded. "Fine one night and I leave tomorrow at dawn."

An hour or so later I was on the sofa with Noelle holding her while she was sleeping still thinking over what Luke did, he wasn't as nice as that when I first got here...I mean he made sure that I wasn't going to get shot but he didn't insist I stay so what's different with this Jane person...

I was brought out of thoughts by Alpha coming back from the lake with fresh fish, she must have seen my confused face and sat down opposite me.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing."

Alpha raised her eyebrow and said "yeah there is."

"Fine, I was thinking my Luke was being so nice to that Jane person that arrived here."

"Well, she wasn't armed with anything but her mouth...and she did look pretty banged up."

"I know but...when I first met him I could barely walk and he didn't insist that I stay the night."

"Don't read too much into it...I'm sure he was just being nice."

"Yeah your right."

Then I heard giggling coming from outside, me and Alpha looked out the window to see Luke showing off his machete to Jane and they obviously just shared a private joke as they both couldn't stop laughing.

I then felt a horrible feeling in my stomach was it...jealously...

I looked over at Alpha, who shrugged and said "I'm sure it means nothing."

I look outside again to see the two of them in a conversation...I hope it meant nothing...
