[b]Katie - Somewhere - Tyler[/b]

Katie could hardly believe it was true. Her daddy was here, holding her. He had come back to her.
He talked about who he missed, the people that had been hurt and those that were gone forever. But all Katie could think of was the last time she had seen him.
"Daddy...?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her throat hurting from all the crying she had done. "I'm s-sorry," she stammered, her breath hitching a bit as she spoke. "I didn't mean to b-be bad. I'll never be bad again. P-please don't go away again."
She hugged him tightly as she begged. "Don't ever g-go away again. Never ever. Promise."

She had always thought that it was her fault he had gone away for so long. Because she had made him mad and he had yelled at her. She had been naughty, but she would never be naughty again. She would always listen and do what she was told.
"I'll never be bad again," she repeated, shaking and shivering in his arms. "I p-promise. Never go away again. I need you. I love you Daddy."

[b]Jessalyn - Haywood - Others[/b]

Jess didn't have much time to marvel over her baby. Minutes later they were alerted to the presence of crawlers. The stranger was trying to get away from one that was going after him. Jess felt a wave of guilt wash over her. With all of her screaming during the labor she probably attracted the walkers and crawlers.
"Help him!" she exclaimed to the doctor as Audrey helped her up. Her legs were weak and she felt exhausted, but cuddled her baby close. He started to cry. She pressed his face gently to her neck, trying to muffle the cries.

While the doctor helped the stranger, Audrey helped Jess outside the building. They spotted a bunch of people gathered around outside. The two women were terrified to discover who had been lost in the attack.
"Hey!" Audrey called. "We need help! There are crawlers in here! Jessalyn had her baby!"
Jess tried to smile as people came up to them. Several of the men rushed inside to deal with the crawlers there while others gathered around Jess to see the new life in her arms. He had stopped crying by then and his little eyes had closed. His tiny fists were clenched and up by his face, looking like a tiny boxer about to enter the arena. 

"Everyone," she said, her exhaustion showing in her voice as she struggled to stand. "Meet my son... Benjamin..."

[b]Heather - Camp - Decision[/b]

The man was not comfortable with her it seemed. Well that just seemed typical of her track record didn't it?
When the stranger, who said his name was Floyd, claimed to be fine Heather didn't push the issue. "Okay," she said, backing away to give him space. "If you have any pain just let me or Aaliyah, the camp doctor, know and we can give you something for it."

With that she stood back and listened to what Hank told the man without interrupting. Despite her issues with Hank he was still the unofficial leader of their camp. She didn't disrespect him around newcomers. She was actually very proud of him by the end of it. He was very calm and understanding and kind, offering the man a place with them should he decide he wanted it.
While DeSean was quite unwelcoming, and Heather nudged him in the side and gave him a look for his attitude, the man Floyd seemed to agree that he needed to stay put for the time being. And they could always use more hands in the camp that were strong and could protect from the walkers or any other threats that might appear.

They left Floyd in the tent and went outside to the campfire. It was time to make a group decision. They always talked and agreed on everything that happened. It was part of what made them such a strong and unified group. No one made the final decision. It was equally made by all of them. They all took equal parts in joy and sorrow.
That made them more then a group. It made them a family.
Now they had to decide whether or not to accept a new member to their family.

When he was done talking Hank asked everyone for their thoughts. Heather, having spent the most time with the stranger, spoke first.
"Regardless whether he stays or not, he needs help right now. We wouldn't be the kind of people we think we are if we turned him away now. I vote we let him stay as long as he wants to. We could always use more manpower. We can't ignore that he looks strong and capable. He could help us a lot. He doesn't strike me as a bad person. I may be wrong, but I am going with my gut instinct here. I believe we can trust him."

It felt strange, siding with Hank for once. The others in the group seemed just as surprised as she was.
Maybe... just maybe... they could still have a decent relationship despite everything.

As with all things, time would tell.
