THE NEXT MORNING, VIVIAN WOKE UP TO LIAM PLAYING WITH HIS TOYS, SMASHING LITTLE CARS ONTO THE FLOOR NEXT TO HER HEAD,

"Hey, little dude." Vivian smiled at him, rubbing the sleep from her eyes, "What are you doing up so early?"

He babbled, showing off his baby teeth. Vivian sat up and grabbed him, putting him in her lap, "You hungry, buddy?"

She stood, swinging Liam onto her hip and gripped his toy. Vivian opened the door and spotted Rick walking down the hallway,

"Hey." Vivian called out and he stopped, squinting back at her, "Hangover?"

"Like you wouldn't believe." He groaned as she caught up to him,

"Jenner. He thought we could use it." Lori answered,

"Some of us, at least." Vivian joked, taking a bite of bacon and giving the rest to the toddler in her lap,

"Don't ever ever ever let me drink again." Glenn groaned,
