Lily allowed herself to sleep for the first time in a few days. She layed on the dock wrapped in Daryl's arms. He held her tighly against him. He missed her more than he ever thought he would, yes, he loved but he didn't realize he couldn't live without her. The last few days were nearly impossible. But, he had to focus on keeping her brother safe, and getting the supplies they needed. In all honesty, Daryl didn't know why he stayed behind and allowed Rick and Glenn to get on the boat first...it just seemed like the right thing to do at the time. And, he never thought that Lily would be the one to hop on the boat rescue him and Mason, let alone with Merle.

"Tha' gurl a yers sure has a mouth on 'er," Merle said from the wheel. Mason was still completely knocked out next to him.

"Whut do ya mean?" Daryl asked curiously.

"She got the mouth of a sailor." Daryl couldn't help but laugh. Lily rarely cussed, let alone had a sailor's mouth. "Yew shoulda heard 'er. Went off on Rick an' the chineese kid. Yew better watch tha' one little brother."

Daryl almost corrected Merle, but he figured he kind of owed him, since he more than likely put of with Lily on a rampage.

"Thanks fer...uh...comin' 'ere wit 'er."

"Kne' yew'd be pissed of I let 'er come alone."

He nodded in agreement. He would've been more than pissed if she'd came and got him alone. It was just too dangerous.

"She actually shoot ma bow?" for some reason that question was nagging at Daryl. He'd seen his extra cross bow on her back, along with hers and her quiver of arrows when she stepped onto the boat.

"Ya. Not bad at it neither."

How'd she know how to shoot a crossbow? He wondered.

"Daryl?" he heard Lily say sleepily as she looked up at him with those eyes like the ocean.

"I'm here, Princess," he replied, as he pushed a bit of blonde hair from her face. She look his hand and pressed it lightly to her stomach.

"Never leave," he knew she was half asleep, but she'd been acting strange since they met back up.

"I won'," he confirmed. "I coundn' do that ta ya."

"Good," she rested her head back against his chest. He kissed her forehead.

Daryl woke when the boat pulled into the dock. Lily was to her feet in seconds, giving orders.

"Get Mason in house!" she shouted to Rick and Glenn who were waiting outside the house. "And somebody get Rose! I'm gonna need her help!"

Beth ran back to the house, she too was outside. Everyone else was in the house sleeping, given that the sun had just begun to creep into the sky.

"What happened!?" Rick asked as he, Glenn, and Merle began to carry Mason across the sand. Daryl, who had newly risen to his feet began to hop towards the house. Lily stood next to him, and assisted her.

"He got bit. Lik' Hershel. I cut 'is leg off..." Daryl explained.

When they got into the house, the kitchen table had already been covered by a clear plastic sheet and Rose was standing there.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked Lily.

"Make sure the bleeding has stopped and stearlize the stump," she replied. Rose nodded and got to work. Beth was crying hysterically. Lily walked over to her and wrapped her in hug before pulling her out of the room. "Listen to me...you have to stay strong for him and Livie...you understand?"

Beth nodded and tried to control her sobbing. "What if she can't-"

"He will be fine. Rose is the best nurse I've ever met..."

"Maybe I can help," a man said. Lily turned in his direction to see a tanned skinned man with dark hair and eyes. He had a sqared jaw and was at leave five inches taller than Lily.

"Who are you?" she asked confused. When'd a new guy get here?

"I'm a doctor. John," he held out his hand. She shook it, still slightly confused. "Are you the one that's pregnant?" she nodded. "You brother and your husband found me...said you would need me."

"You'rr why he stayed..." she realized. Daryl, by staying behind to cover Rick, Glenn, and John, was keeping their child safe. They did need a doctor in the group. "Yes, you can help. Rose is in there with my brother. The lower half of his leg had to be cut off. John nodded and went into the room.

Please let him be okay, Lily silently pleaded, not just for her sake but for Beth's and Olivia's too.
