I got to the infirmary and Rosita was there.

"Hey. Morning you two," I said closing the door.

"Hey," Rosita said.

I went up to Tara.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"Well considering everything, I'm fine," she said.

"She'll be able to leave soon. Depending on how she feels about it," Rosita said.

"That's great to hear," I said.

"I think I may need a little more rest. Still feel kind of woozy whenever I sit up," Tara said.

"Take as much time as you need. Have you all seen Glenn by any chance?" I asked.

"He was just here. Left about 10 minutes before you got here? Why? Is something wrong?" Rosita asked.

"No. I just needed to ask him something. Just wanted to come by and check on you. I'll see you two later, okay?" I said.

I headed out. I made my way down the street again.

"Hey," Daryl called to me.

I turned and saw him walking over to me.

"How is she?" he asked once he reached me.

"She's doing better. Should be able to leave soon," I replied.

"Listen, about what you said. I hadn't realized all you'd gone through. And I almost forgot how stubborn you are. Me and you against the world right?" he said.

I pulled him in and hugged him.

"You better believe it," I said.

I reared my head back to look at him.

"I. Love. You," I said.

He leaned in and kissed me. We parted and touched our foreheads together. I looked to my left and saw Glenn making his way over to us.

"Glenn," I said.

"Hey guys. Morning," he said when he got closer.

"Did Rick find you?" I asked him.

"Yeah. And yes, Amelia, I told him everything," he replied.

"Good. Did you tell Maggie? Wait no. Stupid question. You tell each other everything," I said.

"Yeah," he said.

He looked nervous.

"What's up?" Daryl asked.

"Maggie and I found out something last night," he said.

He was quiet.

"Everything okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. Better than okay actually," he said smiling.

"Well you gonna tell us or leave us in suspense here?" I said.

"Maggie's pregnant," he whispered.

I cupped my hands to my mouth.

"Oh my god. Glenn. Congratulations!" I exclaimed.

"Sshh. Maggie doesn't want everyone knowing just yet. I had to tell you two though," he said.

I wrapped my arms around him.

"You're gonna be a dad," I whispered.

Daryl patted him on the shoulder.

"It's about damn time," he said.
