Yes, it’s R.J. for Rick Jr. That’s his name. He’s like a symbol of people’s hopefulness that maybe things are going to be better now. And, I think we wanted to show that Rick and Michonne were in a very hopeful place as they’re planning this sort of rebuilding of society, that they believe that they can create a world that is better for their children than it is for them right now. So [the baby] just seemed like the ultimate symbol of their connection to each other, their commitment to each other. – Angela Kang

I knew you’d fight until the war was won, but you deserve the chance to meet your son.

Hey. I know you’re here. I’m still here too. Maybe you already knew that, but it hasn’t gotten any easier. (…) It’s enough to keep going, keep trying, keep fighting, keep dreaming… so that’s what I do every second of every day. For you. For us. I haven’t given up, and I never will.

                                  “but this- this isn’t real.”                                                                                                                                   “yes, it is. now wake up.”

You wanna know why I fell in love with you? Because you’re a fighter. And you never give up. So fight, Rick. Fight for me. Fight for all of us.
