[ While Lori and Carl shared a moment, Shane pulled Rick over to talk to him. More like argue with him about Carl's care and where he should end up outside of the hospital to recover. Of course, Lori and Shane felt he should stay with them because they wanted to claim they had a more stable environment. He nearly laughed out loud by the insinuation because really? They were constantly having parties and staying out all hours of the night or so he heard around the block.

When it came to stability, he had far more. He had a stable job, relationship and home life. Carl would come home with him and he made sure to drive the point home with Shane. The man looked downright furious but tried to keep from reacting too much outwardly all the same.

An outburst would only prove his point more. ]

[ Lori kissed Carl's forehead, looking at him with pure happiness on her face. ] Of course I am, sweetheart, traffic kept us a little longer than we expected but we got here as soon as we could. Do you need anything? Anything at all? I can get it for you.

[ Keeping an ear out, Rick nearly rolled his eyes at Lori's insistence. This would be messy, wouldn't it? ]
