Nellie: It's no trouble and you're awesome! I'm having a blast doing it. I thought my steam was running out and it all came back so this is fun! It's also been a long time since I updated so frequently, so I'm trying to make it up to everyone.

Maggie came in after Daryl left and saw Glenn cuffing her father to the bed.

"Just a precaution."

"Do you think I could have a moment with him?" she asked. Everyone respectively filed out of the room to give her a moment alone with him. Glenn offered to stay but she turned him down.

Taking this opportunity to walk into the next cell, she examined herself in the mirror and was scared for a moment. Some of the blood from her face and gotten into her hair and was still all over her arms. She turned on the water in the sink and scrubbed her face and arms before sticking her head under the faucet. There were no clean towels so she had to shake her hair dry.

Carol and Lily had returned to Hershel's side making sure he was stable when one of the cell gates opened. Carl walked into the room holding a filled duffle bag but full of what she didn't know.

"I thought you were organizing the food?" Glenn asked him.

"Even better," he smiled.

He dropped the bag and sterile gauze package fell out. Lily snatched it and saw that the whole bag was full of medical supplies. Before she even knew what she was doing, she grabbed his face and kissed his head almost knocking his hat off.

"Thank you, Carl," she said spinning to face Hershel and ripping the dirty towel from his stump beginning the cleaning process using the proper supplies.

"Where did you get this?" Lori gasped.

"From the infirmary. Wasn't much left but I cleared it out."

"You went by yourself?"

"Yeah."

"Are you crazy?!"

"No big deal. I killed two walkers."

"All—all right, you see this?" she held her hands over Hershel. "This was with the whole group."

"We needed supplies, so I got them," Carl snapped.

"I appreciate that, but—"

"Then get off my back!"

"All right!" Lily shouted at everyone, her just cheery mood dropping. "I don't care who you are but you are not going to fight in here. If you fight, you leave! Am I understood?"

The silence that followed was enough conformation of what she'd just said. The others in the room were startled by her outburst, but completely understood why it had happened. Having to take care of a patient without the proper medical supplies was enough, then to have someone arguing as well was too much for her to handle.

"Carl," Beth scolded him. "She's your mother. You can't talk to her like that."

"Listen, I think it's great you wanna help—" Lori tried to tell Carl but he was gone before she could even finish.

"I'm not gonna tell you how to raise your kid, but yelling is never how to get through to them," Lily said keeping her eyes on Hershel's stump. The tone in her voice said she was not in the mood to bicker but wanted to get her say in.

A few tense minutes passed between those in the room before Carol broke the silence. She was asking Glenn for a favor. Lily remembered the conversation she had with her and Hershel about Carol learning how to properly conduct a C-section. Both she and Hershel knew how, but it was always good to tell someone else. They were going to find a female walker and preform the surgery on her to give her practice, but with Hershel out for the count, and Lily tied to him, someone needed to know how to help Lori if she couldn't give birth normally or somehow they were separated.

"But I can't leave Hershel," Glenn argued.

"I can handle it," Lily told him. She knew what Rick had told him. If Hershel came back to end him. "Carol needs you."

"I have to stay."

Lily stood up taking the two of them out of the cell and out of Lori's ear shot. "Carol needs to learn how to do this and needs your help. I've told her all I could, but she needs to do it now. Someone needs to stay with Hershel, so I will do that. You, please, go get Carol some practice."

Glenn nodded not sure what kind of practice she'd be needing but took Carol outside anyway while Lily walked back into the cell taking her seat again.

"Lily," Lori said. "You've been going at this for hours. You should take a break."

"I've had worse surgeries than this. They were longer too. I'm fine."

"Since you're fine, you should know I do not appreciate you telling me how to raise my child."

Lily met Lori's brown eyes expecting this and stared hard at her wide eyes. "I do not appreciate people arguing in the operation room nor do I appreciate parents yelling at their children. Sometimes that's the only way they listen, but never use it as a first resort and your yelling made him start to yell. Yeah, it was stupid of him to go off on his own but he's fine and you didn't have to yell at him in front of us. You could have approached him later alone and talked to him about it calmly. He brought us exactly what we needed. He might have even saved Hershel's life and you're yelling at him for it. I know this is not a great world we live in, but that doesn't give us the right to be at each others throats all the time. Look, I know you don't like me all the time because we don't exactly see eye to eye, but I have been doing everything single damn thing I can possibly think of to keep your baby healthy and keep Hershel stable at the same time. So I am really not in the mood to argue."

Her breathing was stiff as she stared back at the doctor with wide eyes. "Don't you ever touch my son again," she said getting up and walking out of the room.

Maggie took Carol's place and Carl filed back into the room after his mother left. Lily hadn't left the cell in a few hours and had left to use the bathroom. She was beginning to wonder if Hershel was ever going to open his eyes again when Beth started screaming and crying.

"Somebody do something!" she screamed.

She heard the screams and sprinted back to the cell seeing Lori lacing her fingers together, she pressed down on his chest three times before tilting his head back, pinching his nose and filling his lungs with air.

She began her second round of CPR. He still wasn't breathing by the third round when Lori reached down to breathe for him. As she exhaled, an arm shot into the air pressing down on her head. Screams filled her ears as Lori tried to push herself away. Lily threw her hands out and grabbed her waist pulling her away.

Breathing heavily, Hershel opened his eyes to reveal two normal looking blue eyes before passing out again. Lori looked at who had pulled her back and saw Lily. Despite having just been at each other's throats she wasn't going to let a little dispute like that get someone killed. It was a petty argument which was stupid to be angry at someone for. Looking over her shoulder Lily saw Carl pointing his gun at Hershel.

"No! Don't!" she shouted lunging for him. "He's still alive! He's still alive. Don't shoot. Don't shoot." Carl lowered the gun.

The gate opened allowing Rick, T and Daryl to enter.

"He stopped breathing," Carl informed them. "Lori saved him."

"It's true," Glenn added.
"And Lily saved me," Lori said casting a thankful look to the woman. If Hershel had been a walker, Lily truly would have saved her from being bitten. "Still no fever."

As the nine of them looked down at Hershel, his bottom lip began to quiver as if he was about to say something but he stopped.

"You're still covered in blood," Daryl whispered to Lily.

She looked down at her hands and saw them stained red up to the elbow. It was better than earlier but still pretty bad. It reminded her of the look food coloring used to leave on her fingers, but this was all the way up her arms. She'd just been so focused on keeping Hershel stable and worked up from arguing with Lori that she hadn't noticed the remaining blood. He licked his thumb and rubbed her forehead removing some smeared blood.

He was about to do it again when Maggie and Beth both gasped. Turning to face them, they saw Hershel's eyes flutter open. Rick unlocked the handcuffs giving Hershel the freedom to move his hand.

Instead of reaching for his daughters like she thought he would, he reached his hand out to Rick. He looked at it for a moment before taking it in his own. Tears of joy were shed as silent thanks was passed around the room.

Lori walked out of the room and Lily just barely heard her whisper to Carl, "Sorry for yelling at you, kid."

Daryl rubbed his hand in her hair. "Good job."
