Dead or alive, I love you

6.10 the next world

Genny wakes up as Daryl moves from her grip. She grabs his arm tightly and looks at him. "I have to get ready to go on my run with Rick," he says.

She nods letting go of him. He smiles putting his hand on her cheek. "I don't know why, but you seem to be glowing lately," he says kissing her softly.

She smiles into the kiss until they hear the front door opening. "Bet you that's Carl," he sighs getting off the bed.

As expected Carl opens the door after stomping down the stairs extra hard. He's not faced by Daryl in his boxers or Genny still in bed.

He jumps next her on the bed. "How was your walk?" She asks.

"Good, Denise changed my bandage," he says looking up to show her.

"Nice," she smiles.

"Let me see," Daryl says in his jeans now.

Carl turns to Daryl who nods. "Nice," he smiles.

Daryl walks over to Genny and kisses her again. "See you when I get back," he smiles before walking out.

As soon as the front door closes Genny jumps out of the bed and runs to the bathroom where she throws up. "I don't know how you can keep it from him," Carl sighs in the doorway.

"You wanna help or you wanna bash on my decisions?" She asks getting dressed.

He sighs shaking his head with a smile. They leave Alexandria with Enid following them. The trio goes to a nearby town where they scavenge for a while.

Around noon Genny makes it back to Alexandria with them. They say bye as the couple goes off and Genny goes to her house that she shares with Enid, Carol, Glenn and Maggie.

She goes to the basement and places her stuff away. She walks upstairs and looks at carol that is reading.

"You told him yet?" Carol asks as Genny walks to the kitchen.

"No, haven't found the right moment," Genny sighs.

Carol nods continuing her read. "You're three months in. Soon you'll start showing. He needs to know before then," she says eventually.

"I'm already starting to show. I'm happy my jeans are stretchy," Genny sighs.

"And he hasn't noticed?" Carol asks.

"He's blind for the obvious," Maggie says walking in.

They sit around bored and Genny even falls asleep with her hand on her belly. When she wakes up it's dark outside and the house is quiet.

She gets up and folds her vest around herself as she walks out of the house. She hears Daryl whistle by the prison and goes up to him. "Hey," she smiles.

"You look tired," he smiles as she hugs him.

His arm goes around her back as she holds her arms around his waist. "I'm so small compared to you," she chuckles.

"Sometimes I feel like a giant," he scoffs.

"I'm just half a head smaller," she says looking up at him.

"Yeah, but you're thin," he says looking at her arms and holding one in his hand.

She chuckles and puts her head on his chest. "But you're getting a belly. As long as you're not pregnant," he smiles with his chin on her head.

Genny gets tears in her eyes and takes a step back. "I'm gonna turn in for the night," she says with a breaking voice not looking up as she walks away leaving a worried and confused Daryl.
