I suppose we might get one or two chapters to develop the Lee/Molly romance before season 2 starts and all the death starts again.

Yeah we all know how much death happens in season two, in fact it's a bit over the top but with Lee involved it may change.

Walter and Matthew lead the group up a small staircase and into a large open lodge. Everyone peered around, it felt so surreal to see how untouched the place seemed. To their right sat a large den area with a roaring fire sitting in an extremely large chimney which heated the whole lodge. Ahead of them sat a cooking area with a large sign above it that read Canteen. And to the left of that sat a decently large dining area, "Well holy shit." Kenny said with a grin looking around,

"Yes it's quite impressive." Walter said resting his hands on his hips, "We have enough power to run the whole place, though we like to keep the lights off at night to avoid attention."

"Hey, leg still fucked up here." Molly quickly pipped in,

Walter's face dropped in concern, "I'm sorry, her come take a seat in the den." He said letting Lee and Molly pass. Lee carefully helped Molly sit down on the couch, "Matthew could you go and check our room for any type of painkillers, I swear I saw some aspirin." Matthew gave a quick nod and ran over to the stairs and started heading up to the second floor. "So what happened?" He asked turning back to Molly,

"Fell out of a tree." Molly said wincing slightly as she propped her leg up,

Walter let out a small laugh, "And what were you doing in a tree?"

"Enjoying the sights." Molly said with a smirk causing Walter to laugh. Just then they heard Matthew coming back down the stairs,

"Hey I actually found some real painkillers, only have a few though so I brought the aspirin just in case." Matthew said handing them to Molly,

"Thank you." Molly said,

"Yeah, we appreciate it." Lee said with a nod,

"Of course." Walter said with a nod, "Now why don't you folks all sit down and relax. You can give your things to Matthew."

Kenny's eyes narrowed at that thought, "Think I'm gonna keep my gun."

"Yeah I don't know about that." Lee replied with a nod,

"Gentlemen please, I swear no harm will come to you. You are safe here." Walter said easily, "Matthew put your weapons away, none of us need them as of now." Matthew let out a smile and took out a knife and took his rifle off of his shoulder and placed them on a table, "See, we only want you to feel safe and comfortable. Can't do that with a gun jammed into your back." Walter said with a warm smile,

The four of them stared at Walter and for a few minutes no one made a move. Finally Sarita broke the tension by pulling out her pistol. "What are you doing hun?" Kenny asked wide eyed as well as a bit angry,

"I'm putting my weapons down. These men have done nothing but help us, I think that's earned them some trust." Sarita said firmly as she put down her pistol,

Lee let out a deep sigh before pulling out his pistol and placing it on the table, "Come on Ken, put it down."

"Lee you can't be serious, we don't know these guys." Kenny hissed back,

"Kenny." Lee said with a hard glare. Kenny looked back at him locking eyes for a moment before Kenny closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He walked over to the table and put down his rifle. Molly handed Lee her gun and he quickly put it down as well,

"Thank you all for your trust and understanding." Walter said warmly, "Matthew can show you to the spare rooms and I will start dinner. Hope you like beans and peaches."

"Game's been scarce out there, we haven't had a good meal in days. Beans and peaches sounds amazing." Molly said as Lee carefully helped her up,

Walter gave them all a concerned look, "Well I'll make extra tonight, make sure you all have a filling meal." He said sincerely,

"Thank you Walter." Sarita said warmly as the four of them followed Matthew up the stairs to the spare rooms.

Over the next thirty minutes the group settled into their rooms. Sarita and Kenny didn't stay in their room very long, Sarita insisted on helping Walter with dinner and Kenny didn't mind keeping an eye on the two of them. Lee and Molly on the other hand did stay in their room, with Molly's leg holding her back Lee refused to leave her alone. This gave him a chance to talk to her about what happened, "Why did you tell me to leave you." Lee finally asked softly,

"Huh?" Molly asked looking over at him,

"Twice, two fucking times you told me to leave you behind." Lee said coldly, "Why would you tell me to do that?"

Molly looked at him confused and gave him a little half laugh, "Maybe because I didn't want you to die?"

Lee stood up and angrily ran his hand through his hair, "This is fucking serious Molly." He shot out causing Molly's face to lose her smirk, "What gives you the right to tell me that? What did you think I couldn't save you?"

Molly looked at him sympathetically for a moment before letting out a sigh, "I'm sorry." She said sitting up, "I just didn't want you to die, we were surrounded out there and all I could think is you dieing." She said with a small quiver in her voice,

Lee felt a pain in his chest and he walked over sitting down on the bed next to her wrapping his arm around her. Molly let out a shaky breath as she let her head rest on his chest, "I didn't mean to snap at you, you just scared the hell outta me." Lee said rubbing his arm up and down along her arm,

Molly slowly wrapped her arms around his chest. She looked up at him and let out a small smile, "I love you, you know that right?"

"Of course," Lee said quickly, "I love you too." Lee added as he leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. Molly started to push back against his lips, kissing deeply and a bit forcefully. Lee slowly pushed her down flat onto the bed and swung his leg over her so he was straddling her. Molly smashed her lips against his roughly while her hands moved to his shirt unbuttoning it quickly. Lee pulled back from her just long enough to pull her shirt off completely.

Molly let out quick breaths while she sat up a bit and took off her jacket tossing it to the side. Lee watched as she took off her white under shirt and tossed it too the floor quickly. Molly looked back to him and saw he was a bit hesitant to push forward. She reached out and took his hand placing it right between her breasts. She looked up at him holding a gaze waiting to see if he could push forward and was relieved when he finally pushed forward and kissed her once again.

Molly ran her hand down to his pants and groped him she fumbled with his belt quickly undoing it. She unzipped his belt and pushed her hand into his pants grabbing onto him. Lee reached down and tugged her pants down slowly as to not hurt her leg. Lee pulled his pants down and slowly pushed into Molly. The room was filled with their husky breath as Lee filled her slowly. Molly had her arms wrapped around his back and kept her face buried in his shoulder while letting out short moans.

The lack of human contact had weighed heavily on both of them and it wasn't ten minutes before Lee let out a deep groan and finished. Molly let out short deep breaths while Lee let his body fall on top of her. "Finally happened." Molly said softly as she ran her fingers through his hair,

"Yeah." Lee said taking a deep breath,

"If I'd known all I'd have to do is break my leg I might have done it months ago." Molly said with a little laugh that even caused Lee to laugh weakly. Lee slowly rolled to the side of her and let his arm hang over her, "You okay?" She asked looking over to him,

Lee let out a warm smile, "Better than, I feel great." He replied softly,

Just then a soft knock came on their door, "Hey guys dinner's done, Walt wants us all to eat together." Kenny said through the closed door,

Lee jumped out of the bed grabbing Molly's shirt and tossing it over to her, "Alright, we'll be down in just a minute Kenny." He called back as he pulled his pants up. They both heard his footsteps as he walked away and they let out a sigh, "Thank god." Lee mumbled out,

"At least he knocked." Molly said as she grabbed her bag and pulled out a rag quickly cleaning herself up before pulling her pants up, "Now come on help me up, I'm hungry."

Lee let out a smirk as he handed her, her hoodie which she slipped back on before he took her arm and helped her back downstairs. They headed over to the dining area where the others were already sitting, "Ah, excellent." Walter said with a warm smile as they headed over to the table,

Matthew walked over and placed two bowls in front of them, "Beans and peaches." He said with a smirk, "Enjoy."

"Thank you." Molly said with a nod,

"Seriously guys, thank you. It's incredible to meet people like you out here." Lee said sincerely,

"Thank you, it's nice to have nice folks like you around." Walter said with a grin as Matthew sat back down. The group silently began to eat, on the road they never had scheduled meals and if they did end up eating together it was mostly silent. Walter on the other hand was curious about the new arrivals, "So Kenny and Sarita told us about themselves while we were cooking what about you two?" He asked looking at Molly then Lee,

"To be honest I didn't have much going on before all this, I was just starting my life." Molly said with a small shrug, "I just got out of college and returned home when it happened."

"And what did you go to college for?" Walter asked curious Molly turned a bit red and paused, "Oh come on, now i'm really curious."

Molly rolled her eyes and said, "I majored in art, thought I'd work in a museum while I tried to get my work out there."

"That's amazing, art is one of the best things mankind has to offer." Walter said with a nod,

"What type of artist were you?" Matthew asked as he took another bite of beans,

"Painter." Molly said with a small nod, "Guess I'll never know if I was good or not."

Walter let out a little scoff, "Art's subjective, you can't be bad." Molly let out a little laugh not really agreeing with that statement. Walter let out a smile and looked over to Lee, "What about you Lee, what did you do before all this?"

"I was a professor at UGLA." Lee replied with a small smile, "Taught history for six years."

"Really?" Walter said a bit surprised, "And UGLA is…?"

"That's Atlanta, Georgia." Lee replied as he took another bite of food,

"Oh so you're from Atlanta then?" Matthew asked,

"No just worked down there, actually from a smaller town outside of Atlanta. Town called Macon, used to work in a drugstore that my family owned before I got my degree." He said with a bittersweet smile,

"Well that nice." Walter said with a nod,

After a moment of silence Matthew spoke up, "So Lee, I gotta know. That come with a story?" He said pointing to his stump,

Lee lowered his head and rolled his jaw, "Matthew." Walter said a bit annoyed, "That's a bit rude to ask. Lee I'm very sorry about that."

"It's alright," Lee said with a drop in his voice, "It does have a story." Over the next thirty minutes Lee explained the story of how he met Clementine and did his best to keep her safe before losing her in Savannah along with his arm. Lee made sure to keep an information about Kenny's events separate as to not bring up his old wounds. By the end of his tale both Matthew and Walter were in shock as well as sadness,

"That's terrible Lee, I'm so sorry." Walter said sincerely. Lee let out a small nod as the group all felt the lingering sadness in the air. After a moment Walter slowly got to his feet picking up his bowl, "Please I want you all to get a good night's rest. Matthew and I will take care of the mess."

"Are you sure?" Sarita asked as she standed up,

"Yes I insist, you folks deserve a rest." Walter said with a nod and a smile. The four of them gave Matthew and Walter their thanks before heading back upstairs and heading to bed. After the day they had combined with the overall fatigue of travel they all passed out the minute they hit their pillows. As Lee slowly drifted off to sleep he was no unsure if going to Wellington was worth it, they needed some place safe and able to grow in and the ski lodge was it.

Alright I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I also had to upgrade the rating to M because I felt that I should go into a bit more detail when it came to Molly and Lee finally being together. Anyway let me know what you thought of this chapter and in the next one we have one more small time jump coming then we're in season two territory and you all know what that means!
