Dead or alive, I love you

6.12 not tommorow yet

When the group returns Daryl walks into a screaming match between carol and Genny. "You don't got anything to do with it! It's mine! Not yours!" Genny yells.

"But it's also..." carol stops mid-sentence when she sees Daryl standing behind Genny.

"What's going on in here?" He asks them.

"Your wife..." carol says.

"Shut up! It's my decision! Not yours!" Genny yells before walking off.

Daryl goes after her and watches her destroy the basement. "You done?" He asks.

She sighs as she falls on the bed. "Sorry," she cries with her hands on her face.

He cleans some stuff up before grabbing a chair and sitting in front of her. "I don't know why, but I have a feeling like you are hiding something from me," he says holding her hands in his.

Genny looks up and her mouth goes dry. She closes her eyes while her head drops. "Talk to me, Gen," he says giving a soft squeeze.

"I'm gonna lay down for a bit," she says getting up.

Daryl nods laying down behind her. She turns around and hides her face in his neck. "I'm sorry," she whispers with a breaking voice.

He pulls her closer holding her tightly for the whole night. The next morning they grab their stuff and leave the basement. Genny walks up to the rv but carol grabs her arm tightly and pulls her back.

"You're not going," she hisses.

Genny rips her arm lose and stands in front of her with a threatening look. "I am. And you're gonna keep your mouth shut about it. Im done with your fucking bullshit. If I tell him, I'll do it when I'm ready," she says softly through her teeth.

She climbs into the rv and sits next Daryl. They drive until the rv stops and Rick gets out. Genny and Daryl follow as she walks to Glenn.

"Hey, Genny?" He asks.

She nods and he turns to her. "Why haven't you told him?" He asks looking at Daryl.

"Because every time I want to, I think he's gonna hate me for keeping it from him for this long. Plus he keeps saying things like, 'as long as you're not pregnant'. But it only gets longer and my anxiety gets worse," she sighs with tears in her eyes and shaking her head as she fidgets with her wedding ring.

Glenn grabs her hands making her look up. "He won't hate you. And he sure as hell won't leave you," he says wiping away her tears.

Daryl watches the siblings as Glenn hugs Genny tightly. "She's keeping something from me," he sighs.

Carol looks at Genny and watches her walk off with her hand over her mouth. Daryl immediately runs after her scared of walkers or people that could kill her.

"What are you doing?" He says as he catches up with her.

She doesn't answer and only speeds up trying to get away from him. "Gen! There are dangers here," he says going faster.

She still doesn't answer instead she falls against a tree and starts throwing up. When she's done he sighs as he hands her some water.

"You need to talk to me," he says rubbing her back.

She coughs a little before drinking the water. "Tell him. You have to tell him now," carol says behind them.

Genny turns around so quick she sees black for a second. "Shut up," she says walking to carol.

"You have to tell him. It's been way to long, Genny," carol says not scared of the woman in front of her.

"No. You don't have anything to do with this," Genny says shaking her head.

"Tell me what?" Daryl asks behind her.

Carol looks at him before looking at Genny again. "Either you tell him or I do," she says with raised eyebrows.

"Shut up! You shut up! You walk away right now!" Genny yells in her face as daryl grabs her arm holding her back from attacking carol.

Carol stays quiet for a while looking at the tears on Genny's face while daryl looks at her with raised eyebrows. "She's three months pregnant and she doesn't want to tell you," she says not looking away from genny.

Daryl's hand lets go of her arm and he opens his mouth looking at the frozen Genny. "Is it true?" He asks with a breaking voice.

Carol walks away as Genny stares ahead of her. "Is it true?" He yells making her flinch.

He walks around her. "Is it true? Are you pregnant?" He asks through his teeth.

"Yes," she says barely hearable.

He starts shaking with anger as the dots start connecting. He should have known but he was to blind. She should have told him but didn't. Instead she kept it a secret until Carol told him.

"Who else knows?" He asks bawling his fists.

Genny looks down trying not to let out a sob. "Who else?" He yells standing over her.

She shakes her head with her eyes closed. He walks away for a bit. "What else have you been hiding? Huh?" He yells storming back to her.

She takes a step back looking at him with fear in her eyes. "Keeping my fucking kid a secret? What if you got hurt? Why did you even come? What if you get bit and you turn with my baby in your belly?" He yells backing her against the tree.

She lets out a sob as Glenn rushes to them. "Step back!" He yells raising his gun to Daryl.

Daryl looks at Genny. "If anything happens to that baby, it's on you," he growls before walking away.

Genny lets out a sob as she looks at him storming back to the vehicles. "You okay?" Glenn asks putting his hand on her cheek.

Genny opens her mouth but nothing comes out as she lets her head fall on his shoulder while sobbing. "It's okay," he whispers trying to comfort her.

When they get back to the group Rick looks at her with sympathy. Daryl sits on the hood of a car biting his lip out of anger. When he sees her all he wants to do is apologize for yelling at her but he is angry at her for lying and keeping it from him.

He is more angry with himself for not noticing it. The throwing up and the exhaustion. The way their group has been looking after her. How she could snap in emotions in seconds but also that she refused to help with the herd.

He remembers how her hand would rest on her belly from time to time and how Carol and Rick would keep her safe.

"Genny and Maggie stay out by the cars..." Rick says making him look up at her.

"What? No, I want to help," she says stepping forward.

"It wasn't my choice," Rick says shaking his head making her look at Daryl with anger in her eyes.

He glances at her belly before looking at Rick again. She even has a little bump which doesn't surprise him as he already knew she was gaining some weight. But now he knows that she's carrying his baby, the way he wants to protect her is different.

That night Genny sits on top of the rv when she hears the alarms and gets up. She climbs off while Maggie and carol start a discussion.

Her feet land on the ground and she freezes when the head of a gun is pushed into her lower back. "Take out your weapons and put them on the ground. Carefully," a woman's voice says behind her.
