Dead or alive, I love you

7.16 the first day of the rest of your life

"I can't watch this," Genny says before walking off with Caisy following her.

They go to the house and Genny sighs falling onto the couch. "You okay?" Caisy asks grabbing some water for her mother.

"Yeah, i'm fine," Genny sighs moving her hand over her barely noticable baby bump.

Daryl comes back and walks into the house, "you guys okay?" He asks.

"Yeah," Caisy says as Genny stands up.

"Great, pack your shit, you're moving with the children to Hilltop," he says walking past them.

"Like hell I am!" Genny yells turning to him.

"Please, don't fight me on this," he sighs turning to her.

She shakes her head as tears start falling, "I lost...I lost my baby brother. I need to be there when it's done. I want to see it happen and you don't get to take that from me." She cries with her finger pointed to him.

"What about the baby?" He asks stepping in front of her.

"The baby is safe," she rolls her eyes as he shakes his head.

"Yes, Daryl. You can't take the revenge from me. For spencer...for Olivia...for Abraham...for Denise...for Glenn," she says putting her hands on his cheeks so he's forced to look at her.

"I can't lose you, or this babe," he says as a tear rolls down.

She wipes it away and shakes her head. "You won't," she whispers.

The next day she stands in front of a window with her hand on her belly. Caisy walks in with her bullet proof vest. "I stole this from the sanctuary," she says handing it over.

"What about you?" Genny asks taking it.

"I think my brother or sister is more important," Caisy smiles glancing at the still unnoticeable bump.

They go downstairs and go out the house. Daryl looks at Genny handing Caisy a gun. "Protect your mom," he says looking at Caisy who nods.

"I don't need..." Genny starts with a sigh.

"That you're here don't mean I'm lettin you leave unprotected," Daryl says looking at her harshly.

Genny realizes he's actually hurt because she wants to be here. "Caisy, leave us," she says with tears in her eyes.

"But..." Caisy protests before getting a warning look from her mother.

She nods and walks away to the gate. "I'm sorry for staying," Genny sighs looking at Daryl.

"You can still leave," he says not looking up.

"I can't," she says shaking her head.

His head shoots up and he walks to her. He puts his hand on hers over her belly. "But what about the baby?" He asks with tears in his eyes.

"We both didn't want it. You hated me until you were taken by the man we are gonna kill today. Why does it matter so much to you?" She asks making him step back.

"You're unbelievable. Suite yourself. But I said it before and I'll say it again. If anything happens to that baby, I'll never forgive you," he says standing over her before walking away angry.

Genny walks after him to the gate and out of it to help plan the explosives. Rosita looks up as they arrive together and frowns seeing both the traces of anger on their faces.

Daryl climbs in not even helping Genny in making Aaron get up and help her in. Genny throws a death glare at Daryl as she takes one of the explosives from Rosita.

When they're done they go back inside and the gate gets closed. The signal sounds and Genny looks at Daryl who ignores her glance.

Rick looks at them and says something to Rosita before looking at Genny and Daryl who both nod. Eugene arrives and Genny opens her mouth shocked as she walks forward a bit.

Daryl stops her and pulls her back. "This is why I wanted you gone," he says through his teeth.

Rosita tries to activate the explosives but nothing happens and Caisy grabs Genny's arm. "We need to go, mom," she sighs.

Negan comes out and the gate is opened. "Don't call me mom," Genny says ripping her arm lose.

Sudden the garbage people point their guns to the Alexandria's. Daryl turns around putting his gun down and looks at Genny who instead of a gun to her head is getting her bullet proof vest ripped up.

The gun is held to her belly only making Daryl, Genny, Caisy and Carl angry. "Put that thing to my head if you're such a big boy," Genny says grabbing the gun and putting it up to her head.

Negan starts talking about killing everybody in there and how Sasha is in the casket Simon and Dwight put up. Daryl looks at Genny holding his gun closer.

Negan lists all the things he want until he spots Daryl and Caisy. "Daryl and cass...oh, I got to get me my Daryl and Cass back," he points to them, "I see you two." He smirks.

Genny looks at Daryl scared he gets taken from her again. Negan opens the casket and Sasha comes out as a walker. Gunfire starts around Genny and Carl shoots the guy behind Genny.

Daryl grabs her hand and pulls her with him. "She's dead. Sasha, she's dead," Genny says shocked as she gasps for air like she hasn't been breathing.

"I know, Gen. You gotta focus," he says as Caisy runs up to them.

"You okay?" Genny asks her.

"Yes," Caisy nods as she hands Genny her bow and arrows.

Daryl nods and runs off to let the kingdom in. Genny starts shooting saviors until she hears a scream from where Michonne was supposed to be.

Suddenly a tiger roars and Genny turns around looking at Daryl as he runs up to her with Maggie beside him. "What are you doing here?" Genny asks.

"You're one to talk," Maggie smiles pulling her into a hug.

Genny holds onto her with a smile. "We can do this later," Daryl says as a shoot out starts until the saviors are driven out of Alexandria.

"You think Sasha did that herself?"
"I don't know how, but I know she did."
"She gave us a chance. You did. You made the right decision to come."
"The decision was made a long time ago, before any of us knew each other, when we were all strangers that would've just passed each other on the streets, before the world ended. And now we mean everything to each other. You were in trouble. You were trapped. Glenn didn't know you, but he helped you. He put himself in danger for you. And that started it all...from Atlanta, to my daddy's farm, to the prison, to here...to this moment now...not as strangers...as family, because Glenn chose to be there for you that day a long time ago. That was the decision that changed everything. It started with both of you...and it just grew...all of us...to sacrifice for each other. To suffer and stand, to grieve, to give, to love, to live, to fight for each other. Glenn made that decision, Rick. I was just following his lead."

Genny sits on her porch with Caisy and Carl as Daryl walks out handing them lemonade. Genny takes it as he sits next her putting his hand on her knee.

That night Genny walks into their bedroom and puts her stuff away. "You okay?" Daryl asks as he walks out of the bathroom.

"Never better," she sighs hiding a sob that threatens to come out.

He walks over to her and hugs her from behind. She tenses up a bit before relaxing under his touch and letting her head fall on his shoulder.

"You're not okay," he whispers putting his hand on her belly while holding her tightly.
