Later that day the door opens and Caisy walks in. "Lets go," she says handing him his stuff.

He looks at her and smiles as she walks out again. He changes his clothes and then walks out. She nods as they leave the building

When they get to the bikes Daryl smiles throwing her a key. "You know how to ride?" He asks.

"I'm a fast learner," she smiles but stops when she sees Fat Joe walking up to them.

Daryl grabs her arm and pulls her behind him. "I didn't see anything, you can just leave through that gate over there," Joe says but Daryl grabs a pipe and beats him to death while Caisy looks around them.

"Daryl?" Jesus asks walking up to them.

Jesus raises his gun to Caisy. "Who's she?" He asks carefully while Daryl steps in front of the gun.

"She's Genny's kid," Daryl says.

"Genny has a kid?" Jesus asks confused.

"Yes, and she's coming with us," Daryl says.

"How do you know it's her?" Jesus asks still with his gun raised.

"Because she looks like my damn wife," he says through his teeth.

Jesus looks at Caisy before nodding and lowering his gun. "Lets go then," he says.

They get to hilltop and Maggie looks at Daryl. He can't even look at her as she hugs him. "How about you freshen up," she smiles softly.

Daryl walks out and looks at Maggie as she's standing behind a trailer looking somewhere. He walks over and sees Caisy sitting in front of a grave.

"She told me," Maggie pauses, "but I don't think Genny is ready to see her." She sighs moving her hand over her belly.

Daryl nods looking at Caisy. "I ain't sendin her away. She don't deserve that," he says before walking over to the teen.

"Hey," Caisy says looking up.

"Hey," Daryl sighs sitting next her.

"When i was younger. I would get these moments in need of sweet and sour food. He would go out, when he was 15 years old. He didn't care and went out in the middle of the night to get me food," Caisy smiles as a tear rolls down her cheek.

"He saved Rick. And with that he saved us all. He brought this group together, he was the best man for this world," Daryl smiles softly.

Caisy smiles as she lays her head on his shoulder. "Thanks for getting me out of there," she whispers.

"No problem, kid," he smiles ruffling her hair, "no problem."

Daryl walks out behind the trailer with a nervous Caisy behind him. "She hates me," Caisy whispers as the group walks into hilltop.

"She just needs to get to know you," Jesus whispers nudging her shoulder.

She looks at Genny as she runs into Daryl's arms with tears streaming down both their faces. She kisses him throwing her arms around his neck.

It's their first kiss since before Daryl found out she was pregnant which was a month ago. She pulls back and hugs him. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry," he whispers with his hands in her hair.

"It's okay," she whispers in his neck, "I'm sorry for lying and for not telling you." She cries.

Genny's eyes fall on Caisy behind him. "What the..." she starts but Daryl looks at Caisy.

"She got me out, risked her own life for it. She's got inside information because Negan likes her," he explains.

Genny looks at Caisy with her hand on her belly. "Please, just hear her out. She's a good kid and she really, really wants to know you," he says putting his hand over hers.

Genny looks around her and everybody seems to be ready to fight Negan. "Lets do this," she smiles at Daryl still in shock about Caisy.

They go to hilltop house with Genny walking next Daryl. Even though she's still in pain that she has lost so much, she wants to end this.

She needs to do what is right for her brother. She wants to avenge his death. She wants this to be over before she has her baby.
