THE NEXT day, the kingdom's group arrived at hilltop. the gates opened and it felt like everyone could give a sigh of relief as they walked inside. a frozen walker was the first thing to greet them, daryl smashing its skull with the butt of his crossbow.
in the evening, rosaline could see that daryl wanted to have a conversation with her. he was grinding his teeth, his jaw moving to the sides slightly.
she inched closer to him, "what's up?"
"we're gonna go to alexandria. that okay with you?" he questioned, "i just feel like we need to go there, some people are coming along too. dividing the people for more space."
"of course." rosaline responded, running her fingers through his drying hair, "lydia coming?"
"yeah. i was just gonna go talk to 'er." he nodded.
"alright."
"you get some sleep, okay?" he ensured, leaving her to settle with rhaegar in the corner with some blankets that the hilltop had offered to them.
she dipped her head, smiling, "yeah. come over, though. you don't need to stay up either."
he pressed his lips to hers, grunting "i'll be there."
in around five minutes' time, daryl joined her as he'd said. if the marksman had told her he was going to join her, then he was. the night was warmer with him cuddled up to her, offering her warmth.
as dawn broke, the group made their way to alexandria. it wasn't a long ride as it was to the kingdom, but when the gates opened rosaline was relieved to see judith run up to hug michonne and rj hanging around in the snow. he was like her little brother too.
rosaline strolled over to her younger sister, staring her dead in the eyes, causing her to be confused, and then shoved a bit of snow in her face. the little girl let out a gasp, the cold caused her to shiver as rosa ran away.
judith threw a snowball at her as she hid behind michonne. a snowball fight had been initiated. even daryl joined in, picking up a snowball and chucking it at judith with a grin. the child chased after him, throwing the snow back. lydia joined in too.
everything seemed so happy.
after a while, everyone began to get settled with only just a few of the kids playing. rosaline decided that it was time. the pregnancy test she had in a little pack slung over her shoulder had been waiting for this moment.
"daryl." she called.
"yeah?" he laughed a snowball hitting the back of his head as he walked over.
