Maggie saw Harley with Daryl. She walked over smiling. "Can I speak to Harley?" She asked.

"Sure." She said.

"Come on."

Daryl nodded as Damian walked over. Harley stood up and followed her. Daryl wondered what was up and why Maggie wanted to speak to Harley. "What's up?" She asked Maggie.

"I think I know why you are throwing up." She said. "Have you started?"

Harley gave her a look. "My periods have always been crazy. I can miss one month and the next month...are you saying that I'm pregnant?"

"You show the signs."

Harley followed her into the house. She handed her the test causing Harley to walk in and started to take the test. When she was finished, Harley waited a few minutes before looking at the test to see a positive sign. "Oh my god." She said as she walked back in. "Maggie, I'm pregnant."

Maggie smiled, but saw the look on her face. "Are you not happy?"

"How do I tell Daryl?"

Harley walked by Damian as he spoke to Carol. He wondered why she looked to be in a hurry, but he was busy telling Carol how it is. Daryl looked at Harley as she walked over to him. "What did Maggie want?"

"Daryl, I'm..." she sighed. "I'm scared you might hate me after I tell you."

"What?"

"I'm pregnant." She tells him.

Daryl put his knife down and looked at her. "I'm happy, but I'm don't know anything about being a father. I'm scared that I'll screw up."

Harley grabbed his hand smiling. "You will make an amazing father, Daryl. You went out there searching for Sophia. No other person would do what you did. We both can work together."

Daryl kissed her making her smile. "A baby Dixon?" Damian said causing them to pull apart. "Congrats."

"3,2,1..."

"Wait." He said looking at his sister. "I'm an uncle?"

"Damian, you are smart, but there are some things that you are very slow at catching on."

Daryl laughed at the siblings causing them to smile at him.

Carol saw the two going back to the tent as Damian scared her to death. Daryl kissed her as they heard Damian going off on Carol. She looked at Daryl as he looked at her. "Not my problem."

"Of course." She said as they heard talking. "I think Shane found her."

Daryl shrugged as he kissed her. "You don't worry about that." He said. "You're pregnant and I'm not going to have any stress on you."

Harley smiled as she kissed him. She pulled him down on the sleeping bag. Daryl looked at her as she looked at him. The two leaned in as they finished what they started.

The next morning, Daryl kissed Harley as he was leaving to find Rick. "Stay with Carol or Maggie." He said. "Can't have anything happening to you and the baby."

"She's pregnant."

"Yep." Damian says. "They're having a Dixon baby."

"Oh lord." Dale said making them laugh. "Another crazy Dixon."

Harley laughed till she heard a vehicle pull up causing them to see Rick. She smiled as Daryl didn't have to leave, but seeing a person in the back blind folded caused her to hear T-dog. "Who the hell is that?"

"That's Randall."
~~~
Inside, Harley stood with her brother as Daryl walked in and stood behind her as they discussed the Randall situation. She felt sick and ran out the door. Daryl followed her out and held her hair as she threw up. "Come on, I think you need to rest." He tells her.

"Okay." She said as she looked at Damian. "Can you get me something to drink?"

"Sure." He said. "I'll meet the two of you once I get it."

They nodded and walked away. Daryl kissed her head as they continued to their tent.
