Dead or alive, I love you

3.6 hounded

Daryl looks at Genny who sits farthest away from the baby. "You wanna go hunting?" He asks smiling up at her.

"No, I'm going out today," she says softly.

He nods and not long after Genny drives off away from the prison with Glenn. "You thinking about Caisy?" Glenn asks in the passengers seat.

"No," Genny says coldly.

"Then why have you been freaking out since the baby has been here?" He asks looking at her.

She bites her lip not knowing the bottom of her feelings. Maybe it was guilt for neglecting her daughter. Maybe it was the need to make up with the people she hurt while she was doing drugs.

"I'm sorry," she says looking at him, "I'm sorry for putting all that weight on you when you were so young." She sighs grabbing his hand.

"It's okay, Gen. To be honest..." he chuckles with a big smile, "I've always been more responsible." He says.

She rolls her eyes before parking outside a small shopping street. Glenn pulls open the door and a dozen bats fly out. They dug as Genny lets out a small scream.

They go inside where they clear out the baby formula and Genny grabs some toys. "Perfect for the baby," she smiles.

They go out and start loading the car. "You think you'll ever have a kid with Daryl?" Glenn asks.

"Ma baby brother havin a baby, never in a billion years," an all to familiar voice says behind them.

They look at each other before grabbing their guns and pointing them at the older Dixon. "My, my...the Chinese siblings out here by themselves. They sending out scaredy-cats now, that's stupid," Merle smirks.

"How the hell did you survive?" Genny asks.

"I almost didn't. How about you take me to my brother?" Merle asks.

"No, you're gonna stay put. We'll bring him to you," Glenn says.

The situation is tense as Merle keeps stepping closer. "You're gonna take me to him," he says his hands in the air.

"No, you're gonna wait, I'll take him to you," Genny says stepping a little.

"Fine," Merle sighs.

Genny nods and steps back, but Merle suddenly shoots at them making her jump to the side of the car. Merle pulls her in a choke hold and puts his gun to her head.

Glenn shoots around the side of the car and holds his gun to Merle. "Let her go," he says.

Merle laughs, "no man. You're gonna get in the car and drive us to my new home. I got someone I want you to meet." He smiles.

Genny nods to Glenn who drops his gun to the floor and gets in the drivers seat. Genny sits next Merle in the back.
