Narrative

By the time they got back to the prison the sun was already set. Rory got off the bike and went to the back of the truck, getting on her backpack before grabbing the duffel bags.

She walked beside Daryl before he stopped her. "I'm gonna talk to Beth." She nodded and continued her way up to their cell. Looking into the twins, she seen them asleep.

She dropped the bags and started to unpack, sorting the stuff. She would stop by the showers tomorrow to restock the soaps and razors, putting the extra tampons in there.

She put away all her stuff before taking what was for Rick and the rest of the camp downstairs.

"I got some stuff for Judy, and I managed to get some powdered milk before everything went to shit." She handed him the half full bag, inside being dippers and wipes.

"Thank you." He wrapped her into a hug. She felt her lip quiver and before she knew it she was crying.

"This is why I don't go on runs." She sobbed. Rick rocked them back and forth, rubbing up and down her back.

"I know Rory, you don't have to go on another one if you don't want to." Rick whispered to her. He held her as she cried.

"That could have been me! If me and Zack had switched places it would have been me. Then I wouldn't be here for the girls."

"Rory, it wasn't you. You're still here, you're ok." He cooed, helping her calm down. When she finally did, she hugged him tight before going up to her cell. Daryl sat on the bed with a lantern on. He was shirtless and under the covers.

It took them a while to get there, it took Daryl a while to feel comfortable without a shirt on. Rory didn't care about the scars on his back. She loved every bit of him, flaws and all. She looked at the camera on the desk, taking it into her hands she began opening it and setting it up.

"What're you doin'?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" She looked up at him through her lashes. Bringing up the camera she took a picture of Daryl. He gave her a look and she laughed at him. She watched as it developed and smiled.

"So handsome." She grinned, putting it off to the side. Setting it down she started to get ready for bed. Feeling something hit her back so looked to see a thing of condoms on the floor. She furrowed her brows and looked to Daryl who had a large grin on his face.

"Is that your way of asking for sex?" She stripped herself of her shirt. Daryl nodded and leaned back, putting his hands behind his head.

She rolled her eyes. "You're a child." She stripped herself of her pants, grabbing the condoms from the ground and put them on the desk. Smiling she walked over to the bed, Daryl watching her every move. She crawled slowly up to him, stopping a couple of centimeters from his face.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." His nose circled hers before he leaned the rest of the way.

Daryl looked down beside him, he had been awake for a while, just staring it her. The camera on the desk caught his attention. He slowly got out of bed, pulling on his boxers in the process. He grabbed the device and looked at it.

He looked down to his girlfriends sleeping figure. She lied on her stomach, arms under her pillow. The blanket covered her naked bottom, her breasts squished between her and the bed. Her face could be see through the few strands of hair covering it.

Bringing the camera to his face, he took a quick picture. The sound made her stir before opening her eyes softly.

"Did you just take a picture of me?" Daryl grinned and nodded, putting the camera down and looking at the developed picture.

"Better be careful with what you do with it. Better not let my brother see it." She rolled on her back and pulled the blanket to cover her naked body.

"I won't." He rolled his eyes, starting to get dressed. He threw her a pair of underwear and a bra. She gave him a thank you and slipped them on.

He slipped the picture into his pants pocket. He grabbed his jacket and slipped on, waiting for her to get up and finish getting ready.

"Hurry up, woman." He rolls his eyes, making Rory slap the back of his head.

"Fuck off." She murmured, slipping a crop top on. She pulled on a pair of jeans and socks before slipping on her shoes. She grabbed the camera, getting a questioning look from Daryl. She opened the curtain to the twins room, seeing them cuddled up together still asleep. Smiling she lifted the camera snapping a picture.

"That's all your gonna be doing huh?"

"Probably." She smiled, earning a groan from the man. Rolling her eyes she set the camera down and started to make way to her children.

They woke up with no problem, and Rory got them dressed. She grabbed the camera off the dresser before stopping in her cell to grab the training utensils.

Together they walked downstairs and started to make breakfast for the twins. Daryl made food while Rory prepared the powdered milk for them.

"This is a life saver." Carol said, picking up the large bag.

"I know. I've miss milk so much." Rory took a small drink of the liquid. "It's nothing like the real stuff but it's good." She shrugged, dividing the rest between two sippy cups. Daryl looked at the weird spoons.

"The fuck are these." They weren't normal spoons, they didn't have the indent of a regular spoon and the middle was cut out in the shape of a squiggly line.

"Regular baby spoons could make them choke. This way they learn how to eat with regular spoons and forks without the danger of them choking." Carol quickly explained. Daryl nodded and stirred the oatmeal and mushed fruit together.

Rory put a bib around each twins next, starting to place the food on the high chair tray. She put the spoons in the food and sat down next to Daryl.

"Look, naturals." Daryl pointed to Evie who mushed the food into the ridge and put it in her mouth. Ellie copying.

"Yup." A scream ripped through the air. Rory and Daryl looked at each other before standing up.

"Go! I got them!" Carol yelled, Rory followed Daryl outside.

"Walkers in D, this isn't a breach!" Sasha yelled, Rory quickened her pace knowing most of the children were in there. Entering the door her mouth dropped at the sight.

Blood was everywhere, walkers tried to get at the living. People ran in every direction. Rory snapped into action, stabbing the dead in the head before doing the same thing to the dead person on the ground.

She grunted as a force pushed her to the ground, making her knife go flying. She wrestled with the walker who was stronger then her. Her arms start to give out when a arrow passed through the skull. She finally pushed it off of her, looking to see Daryl. She grabbed his hand and let him pull her up. She sighed, getting her knife.

"You ok?"

"Fine! Come on!" She yelled, going to stab another walker. She ran to a child who was cowering in the corner, trying to get away from the dead.

She stabbed the deceased in the head and grabbed the child, going to put him with Karen who was in a cell with others.

"Here." She gave her the child, going back to the matter at hand. She took in a deep breath as the last growl was heard before a thump hit the ground.

"What the fuck happened?"
