Dead or alive, I love you

5.12 remember

The group goes inside but Daryl shoots an animal before they can. "We brought dinner," he says.

Aaron motions for them to come in, "its okay, come on in guys." He says looking at the man next him.

The group walks in. "Before we take this any further, I need you all to turn over your weapons," the man next Aaron says.

"To stay, you hand them over," the man continues.

"We don't know if we want to stay," Rick says walking forward with his gun out and Judith on his hip.

"Its fine, Nicholas," Aaron assures his friend.

"If we're gonna use them, we would have started already," Rick says looking back at Daryl who nods.

"Let them talk to Deanna first," Aaron says.

"Who's Deanna?" Abraham asks in the back by the gate.

"She knows everything you'd want to know about this place. Rick, why don't you start?" Aaron asks.

Rick turns hearing the moaning of a walker outside the gate, "Genny." He says as she stands closest to the gate.

Genny shoots it without doubt or trouble making Nicholas look at them in shock. "Good thing we're here," Rick says before walking off with the group following him.

Genny stands with the group and looks at Rick who nods at her. She walks forward and hands her bow to Daryl. She stares at Deanna as she takes off her rifle. She takes out her gun and then the gun on her belt.

She walks around Alexandria with Daryl and plays with her knife. "I don't want a kid either," she smiles.

He looks at her before grabbing her hand. "Good," he smiles pulling her into him and kissing her softly.

That night Genny explores the house. She walks into a bathroom and sees her own reflection for the first time in a while. She frowns at her long hair that reaches her waist.

"You could cut it off again," Daryl says in the doorway.

"And allow you to have longer hair then me? Hell no," she smiles as he walks over to her and hugs her from behind.

She relaxes in his arms and puts her head on his shoulder. "You could cut yours," she says moving her fingers through the tips.

"No," he says coldly.

They go downstairs and sit with the group. Deanna eventually comes by and looks at the family.

Genny sits on a chair by the dinning table with Carl. Her brace is off for the first time in months. She massages her upper leg and Deanna looks at it.

"I don't have a job for Mrs. Dixon, I think she should attend some sessions of fysio therapie with our doctor first," Deanna smiles looking at her.

Genny looks at Rick who shakes his head, "only if me, her brother or husband is there." He says.

Deanna looks at Daryl and Glenn, "all right. Consider it done." She smiles.

The conversation continues for a little while. "Lets go to sleep," Rick sighs.

Genny lays next Daryl making him pull her into him. She plays with his wedding ring the whole night until she falls asleep holding his hand with both of hers.

Daryl wakes up noticing his hand is being held. He looks at Genny that has his hand on her stomach while she's sleeping on her back. He looks at her belly and for a second he thinks about what Aaron said.

He pushes the thought away and closes his eyes again. The next morning carol is first to wake up and she looks at Genny and Daryl.

The group leaves and Genny walks into the bathroom. She takes off her clothes after turning on the water.

Daryl walks in as she's about to step under. "You mind if I join?" He asks scanning her body.

"As long as you don't try anything," she smiles even though they both know it's not a joke.

He nods taking off his clothes while she's already under. He looks at her thin body and his eyes again stop by her belly. She takes in a deep breath moving her hands through her hair.

He steps under and moves his hands over her hips pulling her against him. She smiles laying her head on his shoulder while he lets his chin rest in the crook of her neck. "I love you, Genevive," he whispers kissing behind her ear.

She smiles turning to him and putting her arms around his neck. "I love you too," she whispers kissing him.

He pulls back quickly and stares into her eyes. "Don't ever change. Don't ever leave me, please," he says softly kissing her again.

She kisses him back as his hand moves from her back to her neck grabbing the back of her hair. She moves her hands to his shoulders and back to his neck as he starts kissing down her jaw to her neck.

He sucks softly moving her hair out of the way as she lets out a soft moan. He pulls her against him and waits for a few seconds for her to pull back as his hands hold her butt.

He pulls back and looks at her with a soft frown. "Just tell me when to stop, okay?" He whispers.

She looks at him and shakes her head, "I'll never tell you to stop. Never again." She says before kissing him.

Daryl holds Genny in his arms as she fell asleep after they moved to one of the beds. Her hair is dried up and her eyes are closed. He goes over what they just did and smiles. Her own smile still rests on her face.

He slowly lets go of her and kisses her forehead softly before leaving her to rest.

Daryl holds Nicholas in a choke hold as Rick tries to get him off. "Daryl, honey. Let him go. He's a rat. Rats aren't worth it," Genny says squatting in front of him.

He looks up before getting off Nicholas. He still needs to be stopped by her as she follows his every move until he grabs his crossbow and walks off angry.

Genny walks after him to the house, "what was that about?" She asks slamming the door behind her.

"These people! Everybody's living on fucking cloud nine or somethin!" He yells throwing his hand in the air while he turns to her.

She laughs shaking her head. "But we aren't," she says staying calm already used to his temper.

He looks at her and also calms down taking a deep breath. "I didn't ask, are you okay?" He asks walking up to her.

She smiles and grabs his hand. "I'm more than okay," she says standing on her toes and kissing him.
