" i-i'm .... o-o-okay!" Rick hoarse voice reach carl's ears and the pup crawled over to his father and hug him as Rick past out again , Carl weep as Stiles breath out a sign of relief as he too snuggle up to his father , in the morning Rick was up , he sat at the window keeping watch.Isaac woken to something moving around , he sat up and look around when he spotted his father and carl , they where going through a bag , he stand and makes his way to them , when they spotted the omega they smile, Stiles didn't know what had happen between the two carl had seem to have forgave their dad.

carl walk to the door and once it open michonne and the omega wish his mate was okay, his other hand goes to the mating bit , it scared over but almost gone this had fighten the omega, he hope he wasn't one of the walkers....
Rick look at michonne and then to Stiles, this time michonne was the one to break down crying , she had lost her mate in the battle a few weeks ago. Rick hug her and told her that she fine an other mate if she wanted one some time, this world was one that allow you freedom , but also one that take what you love the most away.
after a while they ate and laid down , Stiles couldn't stand to see carl happy he walk up the stair and push a chair under the door handle and climb onto the roof , Stiles was one to not let any one see him cry no more he wanted them to think of him as though and think he could handle the lost of his pups and mate, Stiles knew that their dad cry when lori died , but other then that he never show emotion again.
