As planned, the next morning, the group loaded up the cars they'd be taking. The red SUV would hold Rick, Carl, Judith, Maggie, Glenn, and Michonne, in Mason's truck would be Mason, Beth, and Olivia, and taking the lead would be the green car with Rose, Merle, Daryl, Lily, and Emily.

"I'll drive," Merle said. Rose took the passenger seat. That left Daryl, Lily, and Emily to the back.

"Emily!" Carl called. "Can't you ride with us?" Emily gave a pleading looked to Lily.

"Go ahead," Lily smiled. "Just be careful," she kissed the young girl's forehead.

"Thanks Lily!"

"You're welcome."

Daryl and Lily got in the back seat with their bows in their laps. She leaned her head on his shoulder. After Emily was asleep in the livingroom, Lily and Daryl weren't able to sleep much. He wrapped his arm tightly around her shoulder and leaned his head on hers.

"Somebody looks tired," Merle laughed as he started the car and began to drive. "Damn Darylina, have a busy night?"

"Busier then yer's," Daryl replied. Lily's eyes were heavy, and she allowed herself to fall asleep.

"Says yew," Merle laughed. Lily was too tired to say anything in response. She just wanted to sleep.

A seagull's call was the first thing Lily heard when she woke. She opened her eyes and saw waves crashing against the beach, and was able to smell the sweet, salty sea air. Daryl was no longer next to her. She could see the wooden dock from where she sat. It was in surprisingly good shape. There was a knock on her window, she looked up to see Mason's green eyes staring back at her.

"We're here," he stated.

"Really? I thought we were on Mars!" Lily replied sarcastically.

"Moody, moody. Taylor was the same way when she was pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Lily said, as she tried to act surprised that he'd even suggest that.

"It's obvious."

"Who else knows?"

"Beth, and whoever else you told. Does Daryl know?" Lily shook her head. "You've gotta tell him, Lil."

"Tell who whut?" Daryl asked as he made his way to the car.

"Rick. I need to tell him that the boat's gonna be a really tight fit."

"No shit," Daryl replied. He himself had figured that out a few minutes ago.

"Sorry, Mr. Grumpy," she said as she got out of the car with her bow in hand. She walked past Daryl to the boat, which was still on the trailer behind Mason's truck. Daryl made his way over to the group.

"Daryl, Lily, Michonne, stand guard while we all get the boat in the water. Beth, you and the children, stand at the dock, but stay back," Rick ordered. Everybody went to their task.

Lily looked around the ciy blocks around her were familiar. She'd come here dozens of times, but typically the harbor was loaded with boats, smiling families, and hard working fishermen. Now, it was dead. She remembered when her parents, Mason, and her all came her a year before her mother's death. It was so sunny, and they were so happy. She missed those times, she did miss the way the world was, to some extent anyway. She couldn't say she hated everything about the now, because that was far from true.

"Are you okay?" Michonne asked. It was only then that Lily realized she had tears falling from her cheeks.

"Y-yeah. Sorry," she quickly wiped them away. "I'm fine...this place kinda holds a lot of memories for me...y'know?"

"Yeah," Michonne agreed. She knew what it was like to have haunting memories. Her boyfriend was with her for the better half of the year, well not really with her, but his dead self was.

"My family and I always came to this harbor to get to the island. No matter where we were living at the time..."

"I take it your not from her," Michonne pointed.

"No. I've lived all over the easter half of the country...midwest too."

In the distance, growls could be heard. Lily readied an arrow, and kept it aimed. Everything was silent, other than the sound of moving feet, and moans. The seagulls had stopped calling, and it seemed like the waves had even stopped. Lily's head was pounding like the dribbling of a basketball in an empty gym. This herd was larger than any she'd ever experienced.

"Walkers!" Daryl shouted to the group at the dock.

The walkers seemed to be moving more quickly than the ones they'd encountered before. Soon, they wee less than a football field away. Lily released her first arrow, it flew into a walker's head.

"Ready!" Rick shouted. By the time he did, Lily had shot about ten, walkers that got too close for comfort. Daryl had shot close to the same. Beth and the kids were on the boat. Rick, Merle and Mason ran to the other three.

"Lily go," Mason shouted.

"Not without y'all," she said stubbornly.

"Get your ass on that boat, right now!" he commanded. "Go!"

"Why don't you!?" she replied.

"Lilian!" Daryl shouted. "Go!"

It was the first time he'd used her actual name. He always called her "Princess". They may've been in some sort of unspoken argument, for what Lily thought as no reason, but she loved him, and she knew he meant business right now, so she ran to the boat.

"Start it up!" Mason called. She did as commanded, Mason was the next to make his way to the boat. He took over as captain.

"C'mon, hurry!" Lily called to the rest. Michonne ran, followed by Rick. "Where's Daryl?" she asked. She'd lost him behind the cars. Her legs began to shake in fear that she'd lost him.

"He's comin'," Rick replied. The Dixon brothers emerged, and ran down the dock, before jumping onto the boat. Walkers were hot on their trail, when they barely made it. The dock collapsed from the weight of the dead. It fell into the water along with multiple walkers.

"Kick it up a notch!" Lily called to Mason, in fear that the walkers could somehow swim. She took a seat on the deck of the boat, and Emily made her way to the blonde. She rested her head in Lily's lap. Maggie took a seat next to them, given that all of the men had decided to gather around Mason as he steered the boat.

"So how's this island room wise?" Maggie asked. She was hoping for more privacy than she had before.

"It's really great. I got dibs on livin' in the pool house though."

"Why there?"

"Well, it's smaller and more private. It has three bedrooms, whereas the house, house has like ten."

"More than we had back at the farm," Beth smiled happily as she sat down.

"Yeah. It'll be real nice," Lily smiled happily, hoping it would turn out as good as she hoped.
