Dead or alive, I love you

10.1 lines we cross

Daryl looks at Genny who walks next him on the beach. Her hair is back to her shoulders while her eyes have dark bags under it. He nudges her shoulder, making her look at him.

"You alright?" He asks.

She nods with a smile. "I'm fine," she says softly.

His hand finds hers and he interlocks his fingers with hers. A small hint of happiness on both their faces while they watch their son who holds a small crossbow.

They watch the training and Genny shoots a walker while she keeps her distance as the boat gives up. Not long after, she is on the beach with a few others.

They're pulling in some nets when she looks up to meet Daryl's eyes. Someone takes over for her and she walks over to him. "Hey," he smiles.

"Hey," she smiles back hugging him.

He puts his arms around her while they look at Junior who runs over. "Dad! Mom!" He yells with a huge smile.

He almost runs into Genny but is stopped by Daryl who picks him up with a laugh. "Go play with Connie and dog, bud. I gotta talk to your mom for a minute," he says putting his son back down.

Junior runs off with Dog and they start playing with Connie. "What's going on?" Genny asks with a worried frown.

"Junior had a mask in his bucket of seashells," Daryl says looking at her.

"Is he okay?" She asks worried.

Daryl nods while she looks at their son. "Yeah," he smiles making Genny nod while Junior runs over.

"How is Lydia?" Genny asks Caisy over the radio.

"She's...trying," Caisy sighs.

"How are you?" Genny asks worried.

"I'm tired, Allison is upset. Eugene is using her as a science project as Rosita refuses to let him see Coco," she chuckles.

"Well, that's what Eugene is like," Genny smiles.

"How are you? And the guys?" Caisy asks.

"I'm alright," Genny smiles.

"Mom! Aunt Carol is back!" Junior yells running into the cabin.

"Talk to your sister. I'm gonna go see your dad," Genny smiles getting up.

Her smile disappears as she sees the two walk into camp. "Hey," Carol says hugging Genny.

Genny smiles as she looks at Daryl who grabs her hand and spins her wedding ring. "We're gonna go out and be back around noon," he says making her nod with.

"I'll see you later," she says kissing his cheek before she walks off.

"She really made a softly of you," carol smiles.

"Leave her be," he sighs before they go to his bike and leave.

Genny sits on a tree stump while she watches over her son, Judith and Rj. She is deep in her thoughts when she hears a bang and Oceanside goes quiet.

"Daryl! Let me help!" She calls out running to him.

"No, you stay with the children," he says.

"Daryl..." she starts arguing but he shakes his head.

"You stay, end of discussion," he says before he kisses her softly and walks off with the others.

Genny wipes away a tear and sighs. "Don't be a cry baby," she mumbles to herself.

Daryl is fighting a walker while a second walker walks up to him. An arrow shoots into it and then in the walker that he's holding back. He looks down at the arrows before turning around to look at him wife who smiles at him.

"No, no, no..." he mumbles only to run to her.

She shoots a walker and looks at his angry face. "Scream at me after," she says with a smile.

"I'm not gonna scream or yell at you. But you shouldn't be here!" He yells.

"There...you just yelled at me," she says pointing her finger in his face.

He rolls his eyes as she shoots a walker behind him. When they're done, she helps Eugene with the satellite and then goes back to Oceanside where Junior hugs her.
