The next morning I woke up to a baby crying. Last night Beth and Carol found a box and put blankets inside to make a bed for my newborn baby boy. I stood up and walked over to the baby.

"Shh, it's okay. Don't cry." I said while I picked the small baby up.

I sat on the bed and put him down next to me so I could take my shirt and bra off quickly. I picked him up again and it wasn't long before he latched on and started sucking. I covered the other half of my chest and sighed. I was starting to get worried, the others left yesterday afternoon and they weren't back yet.

"I guess we're gonna need to get some clothes for him. I don't think Daryl wants him wearing pink." Carol said from the doorway.

I laughed, "Yeah, I don't think he would either."

"Thought of any names yet?" Carol asked.

"I always liked the name Colt, like the gun. But I don't want to chose one without Daryl here." I answered. "Thanks for letting Jamie sleep in your cell. I wanted him to get some sleep without the baby waking him up every few hours."

"It's no problem. When I had Sophia, she'd always cry at three in the morning. Ed had to leave just to get some sleep." Carol replied. "Once you're done feeding him, there's breakfast."

I nodded, "Thanks."

After I was done feeding him I changed his diaper and left the cell block.

"I'll take him for you." Carol said.

"Thank you." I smiled at her before handing him to her and leaving the cell block to get food.

"How are you feeling?" Hershel asked me as Axel gave me a bowl of soup.

"Fine, actually. A little sore, but I guess that's normal. But hey, at least I won't get stretch marks." I joked.

"Did you have a baby, too?" Sasha asked.

I nodded, "Last night. Right as you guys came."

"Where's the baby?" She asked.

"Carol's watching him while I eat." I told her.

I heard crying and I sighed, "That's my cue."

I left with my bowl in my hand and back to my cell where Carol was with my baby. I ate and Carol gave him back to me before taking my bowl. She told me she was going on watch with Carl, waiting for the others to come back.

"Mommy can I hold him?" Jamie asked, coming into the cell.

"Sure, baby." I smiled at him.

He sat next to me and I carefully handed him the baby.

"He's squishy." He commented and I laughed.

"They're back!" I heard outside the cell block.

"Wanna go surprise daddy with your brother?" I asked Jamie.

"Yeah!" He exclaimed.

I took the baby from him and we left to go in the courtyard.

"Vi?" Maggie looked at me in surprise and down at the boy in my arms.

"Turns out I was pregnant." I smiled and looked around for Daryl, "Where's Daryl?"

Rick walked up to me and looked at the baby, "We found Merle."

"Merle? Is he okay?" I asked.

"They're fine. Both of them. But Daryl... they left." Rick said.

"No." I stepped back, "Daryl wouldn't... No."

Rick hugged me, careful of the baby, "I'm sorry."

I let out a sob, "Mommy?"

I looked over at Jamie, who looked confused. And I looked back at Rick, "I can't tell him." I whispered.

"We don't have to tell him right now. You go inside, I'll be there in a minute." Rick replied.

I nodded, adjusting the baby, before going inside with Jamie. Maggie looked at me, "Can I hold him?"

I gave him to her, "I guess I should give him a name. I was waiting until Daryl got back."

"I'm sure he would be happy. Gosh, he's tiny." Maggie replied.

"Yeah, you should've seen my face when Hershel said I was going into labor. Giving birth is painful." I said.

Maggie let out a small laugh, "What are you gonna name him?"

"Well, I told Carol that I like the name Colt." I replied.

I smiled at the baby in her arms, "Colt Dixon. I love it."

"It's cute." Beth said, who was holding Judith.

When we heard the door open and close, we knew Rick and Hershel came back inside. They came right into the cell block, not even looking at our new guests. Maggie gave Colt back to me and walked into her cell and Rick walked over to Beth and I and took Judith, "She kind of has Lori's eyes. Don't you think?"

Rick looked at Judith and she started crying and he held her to his chest. A while later Beth took her back for her nap, "You okay?" He asked me.

"I'll be fine."

"I'm sorry, I should've tried harder to bring-" He started.

"Don't blame yourself. I ain't blaming any of you. The only person to blame is Daryl. He's the one that left. It was his choice." I interrupted. "And besides, I'm not alone in this. I have you, Carol, Beth, Maggie, Hershel, Glenn, Carl, and Jamie."

"You're right. You do have us." Rick looked down at Colt, "He's so small."

"Well, I didn't have a baby bump. Hershel said he was gonna be small. I'm lucky that he's healthy. And he eats a lot, so he'll grow in no time." I replied.

Rick smiled at me before leaving and I looked at Colt, "Let's go get you a bath, huh?"

After giving Colt a bath and putting him down for a nap we all stood in the cell block, waiting for Rick.

"Whenever Tomas went off, Oscar always stood up for me, you know? He was my friend." Axel said to Carol.

"He went out fighting." Rick told him.

"So what now?" Beth asked, "You think the Governor will retaliate?"

"Yes." Maggie answered.

"Let him try."

"Sounds like he's got a whole town. We're out numbered and out gunned." Carol said.

"We could use some reinforcements." Hershel told Rick.

Rick opened the door and we walked out of the cell block and over to the four people Carl saved.

"I'm Tyreese."

"Sasha, Allen, Ben." Hershel said.

"How'd you get in?" Rick asked.

"Fire damage to the administrative part of the prison. Wall's down." Tyreese answered.

"That side's completely overrun with walkers. How's you get this far?" Rick questioned.

"We didn't. We lost our friend Donna." Tyreese replied.

"They were lost in the gyms." Carl said.

"You brought them here?" Rick asked his son.

"He had no choice." Hershel told him.

"I'm sorry about your friend. We know what that's like." Rick said.

"Hershel said you could use some extra hands." Tyreese commented. "We're no stranger to hard work. We'll go out, get our own food, stay out of your hair. You got a problem with another group, we'll help with that, too. Anything to contribute."

"No." Rick said.

"Please." Sasha begged. "It's like Ten Little Indians out there. It's just us now."

"No." Rick repeated.

"Let's talk about this." Hershel said. "We can't just keep-"

"We've been through this. With Tomas, Andrew. Look what happened." Rick told the older man.

"Axel and Oscar weren't like them." Carol said.

"And where's Oscar now?" Rick asked her before looking back at Tyreese, "I can't be responsible."

"You turn us out, you are responsible." Tyreese replied.

"Rick." Rick walked over to Hershel, "You've done so much for us. I appreciate that. We all do. We owe you our lives. We've done everything you asked without question. And I'm telling you you're wrong on this. You've got to start giving people a chance."

Rick looked at all of us and sighed, "Yeah." But then he started muttering 'no'.

"Why are you here? What do you want from me?"

"Dad?" Carl asked.

"Why are you- no. I can't help you! Get out! Get out!" Rick yelled.

"Whoa, it's all good." Tyreese said.

"What are you doing?" Sasha asked.

"Hey, easy, Rick. There's no need to-" Maggie began.

"You don't belong here! Get out! Please!"

"We'll leave. We're going." Tyreese said as Rick continued to yell.

Glenn escorted them out and Rick seemed to have calmed down and we all went back into the cell block. I went into my cell and sat on the bed before letting out a small sob and covering my face in the pillow. Today was the worst day ever.
