Later that night, Clementine was woken up from the sound of the newborn baby crying. She looked over to where Rebecca was sitting, and sure enough, she was holding the little boy in her arms. "Is he okay?" Clementine asked, as she stood up, careful not to wake up Sarah, and walked over to Rebecca was sitting. She noticed that Rebecca wasn't looking too good. It looked as though the rest of the group was still trying to get some rest, but they'd be woken up soon enough if the baby kept crying.
"He's fine." Rebecca nodded, "Babies cry all the time."
"Oh..." Clementine said as she sat down next to Rebecca.
"He's perfect..." Rebecca trailed off. "He is the perfect little man."
"Did you think of a name yet?" Clem asked, looking down at the baby.
Bec nodded, "I think I'm going to call him little Al, you know, short for Alvin." She said, cooing to the baby. "Do you like that, little Al?" She smiled down at him. The baby couldn't really do much of anything yet, considering it was a newborn. Heck, it could barely open its eyes.
"I like that." Clementine agreed. "It's cute, and Alvin would like that too. He looks like Alvin, you know?" The girl trailed off.
"You think so?" Rebecca asked.
"Definitely."
"Thank you." Rebecca said, and suddenly, a bad cough escaped her lips. Clementine was about to ask the older woman if she was okay, but she got interrupted. "I'm fine, I'm fine." Rebecca waved off. "I just wish I could get warm." She said, shivering a bit. Just then, Clem remembered the coat that they found at the museum. She almost forgot about it, with everything going on around them.
"Here." She said pulling it out. "I almost forgot about this."
Rebecca took the coat gratefully, "Do you want to hold him?" She asked, about to hand the baby over to Clem.
"Could I?" Clem asked intrigued.
"Of course." Rebecca smiled, "You're family." She then handed little Al over to Clementine carefully, and she cradled the infant in her hands. He was cute, there was no doubting that, and Clementine hadn't really ever held a baby before. Rebecca then put on the coat while Clem was holding Al. Suddenly, he started crying again, and Clem rocked him gently and shushed him until he stopped. "You're a natural." Rebecca said with another smile.
"Look at you." Kenny said suddenly, approaching the two girls. "Like a big sister." He smiled. "Here, let me take the baby, you both need rest. Especially you." He said, referring to Rebecca.
"His name is little Al." Clementine said as Kenny took him from her arms.
"When's the last time you slept, Kenny?" Rebecca asked.
"About two years ago, I'm fine." He answered. "Plus somebody's gotta watch you while mama gets her beauty sleep." He said to the baby, bringing him up to his nose and sniffing gently. "You never forget that smell..." He trailed off, looking down at the infant. Rebecca then obliged to Kenny's request and closed her eyes, ready to get some sleep. Clementine stood up, and looked over, making sure Sarah was still asleep, and that's when Jane caught her attention. She walked over and approached the older girl.
"Jane." She said simply, still not okay with the whole saving Sarah incident that happened.
"Hey Clem..." Jane said, rubbing the back of her neck in discomfort.
"What are you doing?" Clementine asked.
"Listen..." Jane started. "I'm sorry, but I have to go."
"That's probably for the best." Clementine nodded. "I know you mean well Jane... But after everything that happened with Sarah, I just can't trust you." She explained, still having some hard feelings. Would Jane try to leave someone else behind if the times got tougher? Would she choose to not save someone if she had the chance? The risks were just too big to take.
Jane nodded, "I understand, and that's my fault. It's just, she reminded me so much of Jaime."
"So you wanted her to die?" Clementine asked.
"It's complicated kid." She shook her head. "Look, I'm just going to go."
"Be safe." Clementine said, and watched Jane walk off into the distance. Maybe she'd see her again someday if she survived, or maybe not... Being on your own was tough, and Clementine knew that from first hand experience. Once Jane was out of sight, Clem sat down on the ground, and looked out into the night sky. What a journey this had been... As she was sitting there, Luke came and approached her, pulling her out of her thoughts, so he must have woken up too.
"Hey..." He said, looking down at her. "Thought you'd be asleep."
"The baby woke me up." Clem answered nonchalantly.
"Are you okay?" Luke asked.
Clementine shrugged, "I don't think anyone is okay."
"Yeah, I guess you're right about that one." He trailed off. "How's Sarah doing? I figure she's pretty shaken up about everything that's happened the past couple of days."
"She's managing." Clem said. "I think if I help her, she'll get through this."
"I don't know why," Luke started. "But she seems to trust you more than any of us."
"I know." Clementine replied. "But she's my friend, and I'm going to help her anyway."
"Hell of a night though..." He said, changing the subject. "We're low on food and supplies, the temperatures dropping... I think we should stay here for a while, you know, especially with Rebecca and the baby. I was thinking in the morning, Jane and I could go look around, see if we could find some stuff to help us out while we're here." He explained to Clem.
"I let Jane leave." She deadpanned, not wanting to lie to Luke.
"What? When?"
"Just now." She replied.
"Are you serious?" Luke yelled, "She didn't say anything about leaving to me! What the fuck?"
"Hey! Keep it down." Kenny said, coming out with the baby. Al was crying, but it was probably from the noise that Luke had just created.
"Sorry..." Luke mumbled. "It's just... Jane's gone."
"Really Luke?" Kenny questioned. "Of all the childish bullshit..."
"Childish?" Luke questioned, "You know what, just lay off Kenny." He said, trying to walk away from the older man.
"No." Kenny argued while the baby still cried. "You put all of our lives in danger, this baby's life in danger... So you two could roll around like fucking teenagers!" He yelled. "This baby is what matters now, so you better get your shit together before you make another mistake." Kenny finished, and Luke said nothing else, because he knew Kenny was right.
