Dead or alive, I love you

7.1 the day will come when you wont be

Negan's bat hits Abraham and he sits up. "Suck...my...nuts..." he says before Negan starts hitting him again.

Negan swings his bat and blood splatters on the group. He walks over to Rosita and tries to force her to look at the bat. Daryl can't take it and jumps up.

He hits Negan in his face and Genny gasps. Daryl is put in the ground and a man with a burned face asks if he should kill him.

"No! No! Please! I'm begging you! Don't kill him!" Genny screams letting go of Glenn's hand with one up.

Before Genny knows it Daryl is back in line and Negan is giving his last warning. Genny's hand is squeezed three times and then let go as she watches in horror as Negan kills her little brother.

She opens her mouth but nothing comes out as she closes her eyes falling against Daryl. He holds her as she tries to breath but can't. "Oh, shit. Was he your brother?" Negan asks her.

"A brother?"
"Yes, honey,"
"What will his name be?"
"Glenn,"
"Glenn and Genevive,"

Genny looks at Negan as he keeps hitting Glenn and he takes Rick away. She keeps staring at Glenn's body not moving out of Daryl's arms.

When they come back Genny can't focus on them. All she does is stare at the body of her little brother. Daryl holds her as he kisses her hair whispering things she can't hear.

"I'm scared, Ivy,"
"Don't be,"
"Why not?"
"Because I'll always protect you,"
"Even when you can't,"
"Even when I can't, I'll die before I let anyone hurt you,"
*three squeezes, I love you*
*four squeezes, I love you too*

Daryl is suddenly picked up and pulled away from her grip. She looks up grabbing his hand, "I love you two." He says.

She starts crying as his wedding ring slips off and he's gone. He disappears into a van. Negan walks over to her and squats in front of her.

"You gonna be a mama soon?" He asks.

She looks at him heavily breathing but no sobs coming out as she almost throws up. "Okay," he nods before getting up.

She sits on the ground unable to process what has just happened. She just lost one of her best friends and she lost her husband.

But more importantly she lost her baby brother. Her partner in crime. Her best friend forever. The one who always stood by her.

She doesn't react to anyone until Carl sits in front of her and grabs her hand. "Three squeezes, right?" He asks.

"Three squeezes, 'I love you.' Four squeezes, 'I love you too.'" She says so soft it's almost not hearable.

He looks at their hands and squeezes. 1, I...2, love...3, you...

She lets out a sob and he hugs her tightly.
