Jesse looked at the man. "It's hard missing people you love." He looked at the baby. "I missed my parents for a while when they wouldn't let Quinn stay with us. I thought about going back once or twice, but then I never would have met this little squrimer." He said still looking at the baby lovingly.

Trish nodded understanding. "It's like cancer, no mater how hard you fight it it always seems to be winning..." She touched his shoulder. "Then you accept that it is part of you and it could either let you die sooner, not let you love Kristine, or it will flat out go away, let you have Kristine and maybe someone else eventually." She smiled at him. "Does being with her make you happy?" She asked.

Kristine heard someone coming down the hall and sat up a little to see if it was Rick, she needed to talk to him. She didn't see anyone for a while and thoughtt she must have been imagining it. She laid back.

Andrew nodded. "Anything else?" He asked seeing Margo watching disapprovingly. She turned away when she noticed him looking at her.

Kara nodded. She stood up and looked at Mike and Sarah who had been talking quietly. "So who's this Mike? You never said anything about being married." She asked smiling. This guy had become on of her best friends at the acceptance tests for the academy.

Mike smiled. "This is Sarah and we weren't engaged when we last saw each other." She smiled and kissed Sarah's hand. "And the Queen of me, this is Kara."

Sarah smiled and shook Kara's hand. "Ah yes one of the three women of the round table and only one to best the king."

Kara laughed a little. "I knew you were a mid-evil nut but this is too good."

Jules stopped throwing up. Her throat was sore and she felt like she had coughed up a lung. She backed away from where she was and sat on some clean grass waiting to see if she was actually done.

Rick puts his hands on his head. "I don't know rigt now, I feel I love her but the other part of me says no. I just want everything to be the same again."

Abigail nods. She quickly steals a kiss from his lips.

Casey takes his hand away from the mans stomach. He reaches a almost clean hand into his breast pocket of his shirt and pulls out a cigarette. He lights it and takes a puff. "Now to wrap him up."

(Miles?)
Trish shakes her head. "I wish I could say they will be but that would be a lie..." She said taping her prosthetic. "But they could be better. Maybe this way you'll learn to lover her even more and use it to keep the other part out of your life with her." She said smiling sideways.

Andrew staggers back a bit. "Whoa!" He said looking at her. "Whoa!" He said repeating himself.

Margo had looked back up just in time to see the lady kiss Andrew. She stood up and stomped over. "Hey, why'd you kiss Andrew?!" SHe said glaring as she stuck her bottom lip out.

Sarah started backing away from the man with the cigarette. She hoped she had gotten back quick enough but started coughing, wheezing.

Mike turns quickly. to her and holds her up. "Sorry." He said quickly and helped her walk away. He sat Sarah down and knelt in front of her. "Is it bad the time?" He asked reaching back for her backpack in case it was. She shook her head and rubbed her throat as she coughed a little less.

Miles nods looking at the ground. "I just don't know what to do any more, I'm lost..." He was again close to tears.

Abigail looks at the ground.

Rick grabs his head. "You don't get it do you!?"

Jesse touched the man's shoulder. "Well, you better find someone who can help you find your way." He said, he knew it might sound a little confusing but he hoped the man would get it.

Margo glares at her. "Well?" She asked.

Andrew was about to say something but the small girl turned her glare on him for a second.

Trish sighed. "I.. no probably not as much as some but more then most." She walked to where she was in front of him. "Things change, people change. They can change for the better or they won't. You can trying and force yourself to be who you were before but, sadly, that isn't going to happen." She pointed back down the hall where Kristine was. "If one thing hasn't changed that I can see is that you still love her, I don't know what you could have do that would make her stop loving you but you at least need to go and talk to her. Even if she doesn't love you you still love her and that should help you go back there."

(Casey?)

Rick hesitates. "What if I hurt her? What if the other part of me takes over and hurts her? How would I live with meself then?" He asks almost in tears.

Abigail looks at the girl. "Well what? I had to thank him some how..."

Casey stubs out the ciggeret, blowing out one last breath of smoke. "He should be good now, if he tries to get up punch him again."

Miles sighs. "I was hoping she would be the one that would help." He looks at the boy. "What am I doing wrong?"

Trish shrugs. "If the thought of how much you love her keeps you smiling and calm I don't think the other part will have much power over the situation." She said smiling again. "Go get her." She gave him a wink and walked back to the stairs going down them with an alternating thunk with her prosthetic.

Margo waved her arms around. "Then just say thank you!" She thought a bit. "Or bake him cookies that's how Kelly thanked him for watching me and Brenda."

Kara nodded. "Why do you smoke?" She asked wondering. She had had a few cigarettes over her life but never caught the habit.

Mike grabbed a water bottle out of his bag and handed it to Sarah standing up.

Sarah drank some. She could see in his eyes he wanted to go back over and catch up with Kara. She smiled up at him sit coughing a bit and nodded her head in Kara's direction.

Mike smiled and kissed her check before leaving. He walked over to Kara but something in him made him turn to Casey first. "Hey, I don't mean to sound like a nag or anything it's just that Sarah's a super-asthmatic. Even a small wisp of that cigarette, as you just saw, gives her an attach. We haven't found any of her prescription at the pharmacies we've checked at and she's low on doses. I'd appreciate it if you could pick a good spot that didn't require being there to smoke and telling her." He said hoping that the man understood him.

Jesse sees the baby nod off a bit. "It might be how you asked her. Or the tone in which you asked her." He looks up at the man. "I have to go put her back to bed but I can come back if you wish." He offered.

Miles waits for a moment, shaking his head. "I just need to think for a minute, you don't have to help me with that."

Rick stands at the top of the stairs not knowing what to do. What is the other part took over? What if he killed her? Would he even hurt her?

Abigail smiles. "But we don't have an oven and Im a bad cook."

Casey could not believe that was a question that the boy had even asked. "So I smoke, that my own choice. Why don't you and your little pet leave me the hell alone? I don't want anything to do with you and you don't want anything to do with me." He pulls out another cigarette and lights it. He blows a puff of smoke in his face. "I'm good mind to kill you now, seeing that no one can be trusted now a days not get the kids." He touchs his abdomen, the pain of the many cuts getting to him. "Now piss off."

Jesse nods. "Okay." He said getting back into the truck bed and sat down still holding the baby.

Laura bites her lip and leans forward holding her abdomen as she cried more heavily. She didn't care who saw anymore. It hurt more then anything that had happened to her in the war. Her heart was being torn out from the inside.

Kristine sits up a little again. "Rick?" She called her voice still weak but a tad stronger. She looked around wanting to stand up to walk to find him.

Margo crosses her arms. "Well, I don't care. No more kissing Andrew." She said still looking the girl dead in the eyes.

Brenda started to shiver and curled closer to Martin. She wasn't sure who it actually was but thought it might be Margo.

Kara glared at Casey. "I have a good mind to kill you now too." She pointed at Mike glaring at Casey. "He made a very good request. You could kill his... Well, I guess wife is a good word for it, just by smoking those. He's just worried for her well being." This felt a little bit personal to Kara every single person she ever cared about was dead. She didn't want it to happen to Mike either. "He didn't even ask you to quit all together. He just wants her to not die. But I guess you don't care, I guess you never cared more about anyone but yourself!" She yelled her eyes icy. She felt a little wet streak running down her side but didn't care.

Mike wanted to say something but he knew Kara just well enough to know he shouldn't he back away from the two a little and glanced back at Sarah, He was relieved to see her walking away from them a little. She still was coughing a bit but she could walk which was good.

Casey throws his hands up. "If it ain't everyone!" He glares at her. "Dice the moment I got a damn smoke out you people have been on my tail!" He point behind him. "What about Daryl?! He smokes!"

Miles walks up to the window and knocks.

Rick pulls at his hair. He walks back to the cell.
