Hershal was outside and wanted to talk to Rick after y'all left and now was a good time.

"Nothing wrong with staying close, Rick. Everyone understands. You're growing us enough food so we won't need to do runs soon.

But we do have to find you a good pair of overalls. You need to look the part. A little piece of wheat out of the corner of your mouth. Maybe a bigger ass."

Both men laughed but then Hershal had to get serious. "Listen, the rest of the council-- Y/n, Daryl, Glenn, Carol, Sasha, Michonne all of them-- they wanted me to talk to you. When you go out there, you got to take your gun."

"It's just outside the fence. I have my knife. I'll only take it if y/n says so."

"She did, and like everyone else we want you safe. She trusts you and we trust her."

Rick had to think but succumbed to taking his gun, even though he didn't want to.

Finally arriving at the big spot Rosco was quick to jump out the truck bed and run over to you.

"Damn that dog is fast, but he sure loves his owner." Tyrese states laughing to himself.

"That dog has saved and protected her life, and others too." Glenn adds smiling.

"Army came in and put these fences up. Made it a place for the people to go." Daryl tells bob looking around the now empty lot. Scratching Rosco behind the ears looking standing next to Daryl, you were thinking about what things you could get for your baby.

"Put a boom box out there three days ago. Hooked it up to two car batteries."

Sasha snapped you out of your thoughts wondering why there weren't any walkers around, and now you know why.

"All right, let's make a sweep. Make sure it's safe. Grab what you can. We'll come back tomorrow with more people."

You and Daryl, plus Rosco were the first ones leading them into the lot checking inside the tents.

"Stay close" Daryl says making sure you were, having out your knife Incase any walkers were left inside the tents.

Then getting Infront of the entrance Daryl bangs on the glass with his elbow, "Just give it a second."

He sits on the ledge and pulls you onto his lap wrapping one arm around you to keep you balance and the other placing it on your belly.

Then Zac speaks up, "Okay I think I got it"

"Got what?" You asked

"He's been tryin to guess what I was before the turn." Daryl answers you.

"Oh not just you Daryl, I'm also guessing what miss Y/n did too."

"Me!?" You said surprised

"Trying to guess for, like, six weeks." Daryl moves his hand in a circular motion on your belly, then Rosco comes up sniffing around.

"Yeah, I'm pacing myself. One shot a day."

"Ight shoot"

"Well, the way you are at the prison, you being on the council, you're able to track, you're helping people, y'all have a baby on the way, but you're still being kind of... surly." He starts.

He snaps his fingers, "Big swing here... Homicide cop"

You and Michonne burst out laughing, you gripped his shoulder kissing the side of his head.

"What's so funny?"

"It makes perfect scene."

Daryl turns to you having a smirk on his face, and you had a pretty good idea what he was thinking about.
