"We're not sure if we even want to stay." Rick says. I roll my eyes.

"You said you'd give it a chance." Belle says.

"Not without weapons." Ford counters. She gives him a glare before I hug her from behind and force her to look anywhere but him.

"Just let them meet Diana first."

"Who's Diana?" I ask.

"She's the lady that knows everything you need to know. You'll just have to pass a quick interview first." Aaron beams.

"An interview?" Carol asks in disbelief. Aaron leads us to a tall, White House in the middle. He smiles at us.

"Let me speak to her before you go inside."

"Okay." As he steps inside, I feel a tug on my arm. The tug on my arm causes my stomach to hurt. The hurt in my stomach causes vomit to make its way up my throat. I quickly step off the porch and throw up on the side of the house. Next to me, I hear another person throwing up. Maggie. Once I finish, I stand up and feel my hair drop. I turn and see Daryl was holding it back for me.

"Why did you throw up?" Abe asks from behind us.

"I can't handle the sound." Maggie says.

"That's why I went away from you." She just shakes her head.

"I already knew." As we start walking back to the porch, Maggie and I fall behind with interlocked arms. "I think I know what our sickness is." I furrow my eyebrows at her. She stops and pulls me away from the group a bit more. "What if we're pregnant?" My jaw literally drops to the floor.

"No Maggie. There is no way. We already have Judith, we can't handle two more babies." She smiles as she throws her arms out.

"Look what we could have here." I smile at her and nod.

"We'll go to town later. Just the two of us." She nods and we head back in. I look around and notice Rick and Judith are gone. "Why did he take her?"

"Father of the year." Daryl says from across the porch. I take a seat on the steps and rest my head in my lap because I know that Daryl's guard is now up and won't want to be near me with these new people. I hear a creak and a hand go on my back.

"Ye okay?" I nod to Merle's voice.

"Yeah, just don't feel the greatest." Everyone gets their interviews, but I make sure I'm the last to go. I stand from my spot in the rocking chair with a tired Judith as I walk past Espinosa.

"Good luck." She whispers as we pass. I stand in front of Diana, who has a video camera sat behind her.

"Hi, I'm Diana. You're the Madison I've heard so much about?" I nod and point to the camera.

"What's that for?"

"Memory. As long as you don't mind." I shake my head.

"I'd rather not have it." She nods and takes it down.

"Make yourself comfortable." I nod and lay Judith down on the couch before walking back and forth around the room. "You can sit." I nod.
