You enter the tent. Kenny is sitting on the floor with his back turned to you. Sarita lies on the floor in front of him, pale and blood-spattered.

Y/N: "I wanted to check on you. Make sure you're okay."

Kenny: "She didn't want me to wait. But I had to. In case by some crazy chance, she didn't come back. That beautiful face... So I waited. I thought maybe she'd be different." He ignores you.

Y/N: "Sarita was a good person. I liked her." You step towards him.

Kenny: "You know what it feels like to get beaten? Peaceful. It feels peaceful. It was like I was floating away, watching the whole thing happen to me. And then I woke up again, and nothin's changed. I'm still takin' a beating, every day. Duck. Katjaa. Sarita. No peace. No rest. The punches just keep coming."

Y/N: "I know it's hard. For everyone. But things will get better."

Kenny: "Why the hell couldn't Carver have just finished me off? Obviously I ain't helping anyone by being here."

Y/N: "I'm just worried about you. I don't want you to stay in here all alone. I need you."

Kenny: "Hmph. I've seen you and Clem take care of yourself more than any three adults put together. But, uh...thanks for sayin' that."

Luke: "Oh, shit! Does that mean what I think it does?"

Luke: "What are we supposed to do?!"

Y/N: "We should see what's going on." You turn towards Kenny and stand up.

You and Kenny leave the tent. Rebecca holds onto her stomach and is supported by Bonnie.

Mike: "Are you okay? How does it feel?"

Rebecca: "It feels wet, that's how it feels!"

Clementine: "What's going on?'

Bonnie: "Rebecca's water broke!"

Jane: "Oh, Christ."

Rebecca: "We should... I don't know what we should do."

Luke: "Aw, fuck!"

Clementine: "Is that supposed to happen?"

Y/N: "Yeah I think, What do we do?!"

Bonnie: "Kenny. Thank god. I think the baby's coming. What do we do?"

Kenny: "Alright. Alright... Gimme a second." Kenny puts his hand up to his chin, deep in thought.

Luke: "No way can Rebecca travel like this."

Jane: "He's right. She's gonna make a lot of noise. They'll be able to smell her, too. Now you've got no choice but to lock down and ride it out."

Rebecca: "It hurts more than before. Is something wrong? Oh, god."

Clementine: "This place doesn't seem safe for a baby being born."

Mike: "That map shows a couple of buildings nearby. Maybe one of them could do the trick?"

Bonnie looks at the sign saying "PARKER'S RUN MEMORIAL MUSEUM -- 1.2 MILES".

Bonnie: "That museum seems like it could be a good start. I'll go."

Luke: "Good idea. Mike, think you could go with her?"

Mike: "Sure thing."

Jane: "I'll check the building by the river."

Luke: "Okay, then. Kenny, you, uh...you stick with Rebecca. And I will check the perimeter for walkers."

Luke: "Sarah? Sarah." He looks around for Sarah and finds her crouched beside a wall. "You just stay here with Rebecca and Kenny, okay?"

Bonnie: "Clem... Y/N."

Clem and you walk up to Bonnie.

Bonnie: "I know it must've been hard, but thank you for talking to Kenny. I'd love for you to give me and Mike a hand looking at the museum, but I was thinking... How do we know Jane ain't just gonna take off? Maybe you should go with her. Make sure she comes back."

Luke: "What do you mean by that?"

Bonnie: "Y'know, she doesn't seem to like being around people much. And she volunteered to head off awful fast. I guess it could be nothing."

Y/N: "I don't know if Jane will come back. I think she's scared about the baby."

Clementine: "Yeah, she was pretty scared."

Bonnie: "That's what I was afraid of. S'why it might be a good idea to have you go with her."

Clementine says nothing.

Bonnie: "Just something to think about."

Luke turns to the rest of the group.

Luke: "Okay, we're looking for warm blankets, clean water, disinfectant..."

Rebecca: "That all sound right?"

Kenny: "Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine."

Y/N: "Maybe me and clem should go with Jane."


Luke: "Better hurry and catch up, then."
