A/n:
This chapter combines the episodes 'The Obliged' and 'What Comes After', as these are the last two episodes before the six year time jump. The reason this chapter combines these two episodes is because of how I have it written, Taylor and Daryl rarely show up in the two, and it's better to just combine them into a whole. Having said that, I hope you all enjoy the chapter. ^^💖

-Chapter ninety two; The Obliged-

———

     TAYLOR TOOK LEE'S ADVICE AND
tried to think of another reason why Daryl would usher her and Lee to stay in Alexandria, but nothing came to her.

     She settled on that she was just being paranoid as she and Lee sat down with Jordyn and Alden for breakfast the next morning.

     After that, they went to go find Michonne to see if they could get their own house, and Michonne offered a house near the back of Alexandria.

     After they had settled in, it was about noon, and Taylor stood out on the front porch for her call with Daryl.

      He never answered...

      The rest of the day, she moped around, frustrated with her sudden nonstop eating habits and weird cravings as her seemingly-non-stop growing baby bump restricted her choice of clothing.

      The following day, she woke up with morning sickness, the first time she had been with a baby, and she now felt like shit.

      Hunched over the toilet with tears in her eyes, she looked over at Lee who stood in the doorway of the bathroom, worry on his face as he asked, "Do you need anything? Do want me to get Jordyn?".

Ducking her face back in and hurling whatever the hell she ate yesterday, she weakly looked up and pointed over to her nightstand at her walkie-talkie, "...G-Get...get the radio...".

Quickly nodding, he was there and back in a quick few seconds, handing her walkie.

She kicked it to life and managed to get out, "D-Daryl...please pick up...I-I need you...".

Much to her relief, he picked up, "Taylor? Babygirl, are you alri'?".

She groaned, "N-No. Morning sickness is kicking my ass. C-Can you please come over...I feel like shit...".

     "Taylor, we're trapped." She heard Rick say in the background.

      She furrowed her eyebrows, "W-Wait, what the fuck did you just say.".

      "We're trapped in some fuckin' ditch. We're tryin' ta' fin' a way outta here." Daryl sighed in response.

     Weakly, she stood up, grabbing the counter for support before grabbing Lee's hand, "Don't worry, I'll come a-and find you guys. Where the hell a-are you?".
