Dead or alive, I love you

3.16 welcome to the tombs

Daryl sits on the edge of the bed as Genny is still sleeping. All their stuff is packed up and the last things are getting done.

Genny still needs to get out of bed but he decided to let her rest as long as possible. He wipes away his tears holding Merle's knife and playing with it a little.

He feels her arms wrap around him and soaks into her hug. "It's time," he says softly.

She nods letting him go so he can get up. He picks her up and carries her to the cars. He puts her in one and kisses her forehead. "I love you," she smiles.

"Me too," he says.

She leaves with Hershel, Beth, Carl and Judith. She stays in the car with a sleeping Judith. Carl shoots an innocent kid making Genny shocked and a little scared. Hershel and make eye contact before Hershel takes Carl's gun away from him.

Daryl picks them up and helps Genny back inside. He puts her in the bed before kissing her forehead. "What's wrong?" He asks.

"Carl shot a boy," she whispers still shocked, "the boy was handing the gun over. And he just shot him." She looks at him with tears in her eyes.

He opens his mouth a little in shock before nodding, "I'll talk to Rick. There needs to be a punishment of some sort." He says kissing her softly.

She nods before he walks off. The next day he returns and sits on the bed. "Andrea is dead," he whispers.

Genny sits up as tears sting her eyes. "How?" She asks with a breaking voice.

"She, uh, she was bit," he says as his voice is raw from grief.

She puts her arms around him again and lets her tears fall on his shirt. Another family member gone, more loss and more pain. They both know that it's how life goes now.

Tomorrow is never promised, it never was, but this world is worse.
