Daryl's POV:

I regretted all what I said to her. I didn't realise the words that come out of my mouth until after I already said them. I couldn't understand why she would be so mad with me. I have done nothing but keep her best interest in mind all the time and she acted like I didn't all of a sudden. "That was a bit harsh." Michonne commented, after overhearing our conversation. I wanted nothing more than to go in and apologise to her, but we were already going to be behind on time which was too precious to waste anymore. Bob and Tyreese finally joined us and the moment they were ready we left immediately. I noticed Val standing out in the field all of sudden. I knew I just broke her heart all over again, and I couldn't even go and try and fix it.

"Are we going to talk about what you said Val?" Michonne questioned. I didn't say a word, I was already kicking at myself for it all. "What did you say to Val?" Tyreese asked confused about Michonne was on about. "Daryl here got into a fight with Val." She replied bluntly.

"Over what?" Bob asked, now intrigued.

"About this." I huffed, finally.

"You said some pretty awful things to her. And I'm not saying she was no better." Michonne began.

"Wait so what did you say to her exactly?" Tyreese questioned once again. I stopped to think for a moment. I felt disgusted with how I spoke to the one person that makes all the surviving so worth it. "He said-" Michonne began.

"I told her I would never treat her the way her ex did. He raped her, used to smack her around like she was a toy. Rick doesn't know about that side of it. I regret even bringing it up. I know I hurt her with the way I said it. The way I spoke to her." I explained finally.

"So what you said was true?" Bob questioned.

"Yeah. It all happened after the world went to shit. Her ex was Rick best friend until he flipped on him. Fought against him. Val had already ended her fling with him by then."

"She called a fling. I guess that how she saw it. If only I made a move on her before she went back to him, maybe I could have stopped him from ever treating her like that."

"But yet I threw it all in her face, instead of trying to understand why she's been becoming so moody." I muttered.

"You mean this isn't the first time she's been angry like that? How long has this been going on?"

"For the past few weeks. She's been all over the place. One minute she's all over me, then I'm her enemy. Or she's completely happy and carefree and then the next she's completely bawling her eyes out over something that would so minor." I stated.

"Are you sure she's not, you know. Pregnant?" Tyreese questioned.

"Sure sounds like she could be." Michonne added. I didn't say anything after that. I didn't know what to think. Could she be? No surely not. She said she couldn't get pregnant, so how can that be.

Val's POV:

I had changed into clean clothes, after getting vomit on what I wore last. I didn't know what come over me. It was so random. Nausea just hit me out of nowhere like a bullet train. I couldn't get up quick enough to vomit, so some got on my clothes as I began to lean forward, getting on my boots and all.

I laid down for a moment, just went I thought I was fine. Another wave of nausea came over me. I jumped off of the bed and immediately sprinted outside, nearly crashing into Maggie and Hershel. The moment I got outside, up it came, and out just as quick. I heard the door creak open, then footsteps, felt a hand suddenly rub circles on my back while another held my hair back. I was finally able to take a breath once I stopped vomiting. I stood up, and looked back seeing Maggie standing there, still with her hand on my back. "You okay?" She asked, worry in her voice.

"I think so. I don't understand why I've suddenly been needing to vomit all of sudden."

"Is this the first time its happened?"

"The past couple of weeks it's been on and off. Usually in the mornings. It eased up though until today."

"You don't you could be-"

"Pregnant? I doubt it."

"Why's that?"

"I'm practically infertile. Been that way for years now."

"But that can always change Val. Sometimes miracles happen."

"Right. Well I don't think that's even possible." I scoffed.

"I'm just saying that it's still very possible Val whether you believe it or not."

"Have you and Daryl been safe at least?" I went quiet. Her eyes widen with realisation. "Oh god Val." Maggie muttered.
