"Where's my baby?" Rebecca asked, hearing all the commotion outside and the baby still crying.
"Is everything alright?" Mike asked, coming outside to see what was going on.
"Everything is fine." Luke said, angrily, and headed back into the room where the rest of the group was still trying to get some sleep. Kenny followed him into the room with the baby.
"We need a good place to raise him." He said, referring to Al, "And that ain't here. We need to push on, we need to get to Wellington, that's our best shot." He said, trying to form some type of a plan. Clementine followed behind the two and listened to Kenny's plan as well. It didn't sound too good, but they needed something at the moment. After all, they couldn't just stay in this gift shop forever.
"There's a town across the river." Clementine said. "I saw it earlier, and it might be safe there." She pointed out.
"Or it might be a good stop along the way." Kenny said.
"Kenny!" Rebecca said, wanting the baby.
"I'm sorry." He apologized, and gave little Al back to Rebecca.
"Clem's got a point!" Bonnie jumped in. "That could be a whole town full of supplies, and it's not that far from here."
"It's a whole lot better than here anyway." Kenny said. "Look's like that's our best bet. We need to get on the road as soon as possible. We'll leave in the morning." He said, taking on the leader role of the group once again. But Clementine knew that leaving as soon as possible was a bad idea. Rebecca still hadn't healed up from giving birth, how was she going to travel, and especially with a baby?
"Rebecca needs rest." Clementine said. "We should wait a few days."
"And I can go out and look for supplies in the mean time." Luke offered.
"Just give me a day or two Kenny, and I'll be fine." Rebecca said.
Kenny sighed, "This is a mistake..."
"We should all try and get some rest, seriously." Mike said. "It's been a long day." Rebecca then began another coughing fit, and Clementine knew that she was probably getting sick from the cold weather and such. She'd be surprised if it didn't start snowing within the next few days. Clementine then went back to her original spot on the floor next to Sarah and laid down. She was surprised that the teen girl was still sleeping through all of that commotion that Kenny and Luke had just caused.
Nevertheless, they were all tired, and Sarah was probably more tired than anybody considering everything she had been through. She could probably sleep through anything at the moment. Clem sighed, and shivered a little bit. Luke was right, the temperature was dropping, and they didn't have any blankets or extra clothing to keep them warm. Figuring it would be okay with Sarah, Clem then wrapped her arm around the other girl to try and generate some warmth between them. Soon, she was fast asleep.
When Clementine woke up, it looked as though it was already mid morning outside. Most of the group was already up and awake. Rebecca was feeding little Al with a makeshift bottle, Kenny was standing outside keeping watch, and Luke, Bonnie, and Mike were readying the remaining weapons that they had. Clementine then looked over beside her, and saw that Sarah was awake too. "Morning." She greeted to the older girl. If they were going to be stuck in this gift shop for a few days, now would be the perfect time to start training Sarah on how to survive.
"Did you see the baby yet?" Sarah asked Clementine. "He's so cute... Rebecca even let me hold him." There was less enthusiasm in her voice now, but slowly and surely, she was getting back to her old self. It was going to take more work though, and Clementine knew that.
"Yeah." Clem nodded. "I saw him."
Suddenly, Luke approached the two girls. "Me, Bonnie, and Mike are going to head out and look for supplies." He informed them. "We should be back soon." He added. "But Clem, I want you to keep an eye on Kenny, he's still pretty pissed about last night..."
"Okay." Clementine replied.
"Is everything ready?" Bonnie asked, grabbing her gun.
"I think so." Mike nodded in reply.
"Let's go." Luke said, and the three of them left to try and look for some much needed supplies.
"Good morning Clementine." Rebecca said, noticing that the little girl was awake. Her voice was slightly hoarse, and that sent her into another one of those coughing fits. She even looked weak too, and this time, Clem was genuinely worried about Rebecca. What if she had pneumonia? That could be a fatal sickness if not treated properly.
"Are you okay Rebecca?" Clem asked as she got up.
"Oh I'm fine." She replied. "I've just got a sore throat."
"Are you sure?" She asked again, and Rebecca only nodded. "How's little Al?" She asked, changing the subject.
"He's good." Rebecca smiled. "And he really likes Sarah."
"Can I hold him again?" Sarah asked, sitting down beside Rebecca.
"Sure honey." Rebecca answered and gave the baby to Sarah once again. Clementine thought that the baby must have calmed Sarah down a bit, because she was acting normally now, instead of so afraid and distraught. Clem was glad for that though, because that would make Sarah's healing process even better and easier on her part. Lost in her thoughts, Clementine was trying to think what she and Sarah should do first. Should she teach her to shoot first? Or cut her hair? Or something else?
Suddenly, as if to answer her thoughts, something shiny caught Clem's eye. She looked around, and saw that it was a pair of metal scissors. Perfect. "Hey Sarah?" She asked, pulling the teen girl away from the baby.
"Yeah?"
"Remember when I told you I was going to teach you how to survive?" Clem asked and Sarah nodded. "Well, I have to cut your hair."
