I stayed on watch in the prison one night. Nobody asked me to but since Judith was born I wanted to make sure nothing would happen. It was weird. It was darker than I thought it would me. I was sat at the top of the stairs looking over and cell block. Daryl was lying behind me trying to sleep. He didn't want a cell. Didn't want to be like a prisoner. I decided to sleep with him. Rather that than alone.

"Hey. Why you up?" Daryl asked.

"On watch," I looked over my shoulder.

Daryl sat up and put his hands on my shoulders, "We're safe. You don't have to do that."

"I want to make sure everything's safe and the baby will be okay. Its what Lori would have wanted," I smiled.

"Lori knows the baby is safe," Daryl wrapped his arms round me, "You can rest."

"Fine," I lied down with Daryl and rested my head on his chest.
