A bit of a filler chapter here:)

Theo and Daryl walked into the bathroom after locking their front door.

Daryl turned on the shower. Letting it heat up and the steam spread around the bathroom.

Stripping their clothes from their tired bodies before stepping into the shower.

"You okay?" Daryl asked as Theo sighed tiredly.

"Yeah, I'm good. Right now more than ever" Theo smirked as she wrapped her arms around Daryl's shoulders.

Daryl's hands went around her waist as he pulled her closer, lowering his head, joining his lips with hers.

Theo hummed into him.

They hadn't had time to themselves for months.

And showering together was their favourite thing they did.

It gave them a chance to relax and catch up on lost time.

They began to deepen their kiss, moving closer to one another.

It was getting more and more heated, one thing led to another and Theo was against the wall, her legs around Daryl as he held her tightly to him.

"I love having a shower," Daryl laughed.

"That's ironic" Theo laughed as she jolted in time with his moment.

"Okay, I will rephrase. I love having showers with you" Daryl smiled as Theo looked down at him with a smile.

Daryl began leaving marks down Theo's body on her neck and her chest.

Theo returned the favour.

They finished up after a few more minutes.

Daryl gently placed her back on the ground, holding onto her, allowing her to get her balance back.

She smiled thankfully at him, kissing him once again before beginning to wash her hair with her back to Daryl.

He kissed her shoulder, removing her hands from her hair as he continued to wash her hair for her, allowing her to relax into his touch.

"That feels good" Theo leaned back, closing her eyes.

Daryl smiled, kissing her back as she rinsed her hair.

"I'm eating the shampoo," Daryl laughed, causing Theo to chuckle.

Theo finished washing her hair as Daryl washed him even though he hated the smell of coconuts, finishing the rest of the shower routine and getting out of the shower.

"You know, no kids for the first time in a long time..." Theo giggled as she walked into their bedroom.

"No kids," Daryl nodded, as Theo dropped her towel.

Daryl looked her up and down with a big smile.

"Yeah. I like this a lot" Daryl nodded.

Theo smiled as Daryl practically ran towards her and threw her on a bed allowing Theo to let out a loud scream combined with a giggle.

"Hey, so what about we try for more kids?" Daryl joked.

Theo looked at him wondering if he was being serious.

"I'm kidding babe" Daryl laughed as she sighed in relief

"Phew. Maybe when the twins are older" Theo laughed.

"Wait really?" Daryl asked, confused.

"Why not?" Theo smirked.

"Okay, just tell me when" Daryl smiled as he kissed her passionately once again.

The night was long and was filled with a lot of emotion.

They laid wrapped in one another's arms, sheets around their body as they held onto one another tightly.

"Daryl." Theo looked up at him.

"Hmm" Daryl tiredly looked down at her.

"Imma go pee" She smiled as she got up and walked to the bathroom.

Daryl nodded confused before she left and went to pee.

As he waited for Theo he grabbed her a clear pair of PJs laying them on the bed before getting himself changed, walking to the kitchen, putting the kettle on and feeding the dogs.

She walked out in her clean PJs, leaning up to kiss Daryl as he handed her some t.

"Thank you" She smiled as she walked over to the sofa, grabbing her notepad and book, skipping the pages where her kids had scribbled on the pages, starting a new drawing as she sat with Daryl by her feet.

He rubbed her feet as she drew peacefully, her mood lifting by the minute.

She sketched Daryl from memory, but sometimes she had to look up at him which he ignored knowing what she was doing.

He decided to put some music on.

Theo's favourite album

Her foot immediately began to tap to Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crue. Dr Feelgood was her favourite album, and he knew she loved it.

She hummed the lyrics, tapping her foot to the beat as she continued to draw.

"How come you love Rock music?" Daryl questioned.

"Believe it or not my dad" Theo smirked as she smudged something with her finger.

"Rick? And rock music? Seriously?" He laughed.

"When mom wasn't around and I was younger, whenever we were in the car we would listen to his collection, it's why I picked up a guitar and father never argued" She laughed.

"I might buy you a guitar, that was I actually get to see you play properly and not when we have a horde full of whispers coming at us" Dary laughed as she nodded in agreement.

"What are you drawing?" Daryl questioned even though he knew the answer.

"You" Theo looked up at him for a split second before looking back at her drawing.

"Can I see?" Daryl leaned forwards making her lean back with a smile.

"Not yet" She laughed as she continued to draw.

"Okay, do you want anything to eat?" Daryl asked, standing up and over to the kitchen

"Hmm. Surprise me" She smiled widely at him.

"Okay sunshine" Daryl began cooking her favourite meal.

They were in comfortable silence. Enjoying one another's company.

He headed over with spaghetti with sauce and cheese on top, hanging it over to her when she traded him the drawing.

"Wow" He looked at it, placing his food on his lap.

"You like?" Theo smiled as she took a mouthful of food.

"You never fail to surprise me" Daryl looked at her with a smile as she continued to eat her spaghetti.
