Ellie had just had the best birthday ever. She still couldn't get over the experience of being inside the spaceship while just smiled as they got ready to go back to Jackson. But as they walked around the place one more time, they heard a noice.

Joel had made sure the place was safe before taking Ellie there.He had cleared it of any infected and remains. There shouldn't be anyone here. But there was. With a gun in hand he walked towards the sound which he quickly recognized as a baby's cries.

"Oh..." Joel muttered as he moved some leaves a d found a small child, a newborn, swaddled in a blanket and left on the corner on their own.

"Is that a baby?" Ellie asked, her eyes wide.

"Seems like it." Joel said as he gently scooped you up, cradling you in his arm.

"Woah... Someone left it in there." Ellie pointed out as she watched Joel hold you.

"Looks like a newborn... Maybe days or weeks old." Joel said as you made grabby hands at his face. Ellie laughed when she saw you.

"Awe, it's trying to touch your face." She chuckled in amusement.

Joel sighed. He couldn't believe someone would leave you alone like that.

"What should we do?" Ellie asked him.

"I don't know." Joel said quietly, feeling you squirm on his arms.
