"Well, I would'a been her daddy if you didn't stab me in that field. I mean, I'm glad you did it, but still."

Of course nobody ever told little Judy about him or Lori. Why’s he not surprised? “I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout Michonne. A woman named Lori was your real mother. And I’m your real father.”

“That /would/ be bad, wouldn’t it? Can’t say I haven’t done it at least once in the freezin’ ass cold.” He’s getting more flirty by the minute. “Best thing we ever did together, Lori.”

Rubs his head and chuckles. “Maybe not, but I knew your family before everything started. Your dad, your /real/ mom, your brother. I was close with ‘em.”

"Better yet, we don't even have to do it in the woods. Just fuck in the bed, fuck in the shower; Alexandria's provided us that luxury." Chuckles. "Yeah, good thing she ain't got my nose, or my ears. Those are parts of me I'm glad she didn't inherit."

"Hey, just come see me if you need help with your homework, alright?"

"Just tell me when, and I'll be waitin' for ya. Ain't no Amy the Mushroom Queen around to keep us waiting again. And, yeah, of course. Little Judy comes first before anyone and anything."

"I'm up for round two in the woods if you're ever interested. And I'll help take care of the other baby for Rick. That's what best friends are for."

"Don't remember givin' it good to Michonne, but I'll gladly take care of that baby too if Rick ain't around to be its father."

|| Apologies for being gone for a week. Things came up in real life, and I've been pretty depressed since then.

"I got another kid that I don't know about?"

Furiously rubs his head.

How’s his baby girl doing?

He’s back. Does anyone really care, though? Because, it’s Shane they’re talking about here.

“Damn straight you are. Ain’t by much, but it’s still somethin’ to be proud of.”

“How’s my little man Carl been doin’?”

"My baby girl's all grown up. Does she rub her head like her daddy?"

|| Don't forget about when Glenn was killed, when Dwight puts the photo of Glenn's bashed in head in his cell, and his apology to Maggie when they were hiding in the Hilltop's cellar

"Very grateful that Rick and Michonne have been takin' care of my baby daughter. And Carl, when he was still alive."
