Roses (Glenn Rhee x reader)

1| Owl

Y/n POV

Cleaning out fucking houses. This is what has been happening. We find a place, clean it out, stay for a day. We're always afraid of the herd catching up with us.

These tiny ass houses aren't going to do anything for us. We need something big and something with a gate that would keep us secured.

Some of us would go inside while the others would wait and keep watch. I liked keeping watch because it wasn't so bad.

When the house was clear we were able to come in. Rick opened the door for us which lead into the kitchen. Glenn lead the way.

Glenn ditched the hat a while ago. I wasn't complaining because his hair was growing out and god damn he looked fine.

When we were fighting a Walker the guts went all over his hat and we ditched it a while ago. I was super at first because how great it looked on me but it was fine.

Lori got more and more pregnant as the days went on and we had to be extra careful. She was going to have the baby anytime soon.

We all stood in the hallway of the house and I leaned against the wall. Daryl came down carrying an owl as he picked off the feathers.

"Gross" I said to him as I walked out of the house. He walked behind me mocking me.

"At least we have something to eat" He growled at me. I rolled my eyes as I continued to walk. "What your not doing clean up crew?" He asked as he walked behind me.

"No" I mumbled as I sat on the door step. He sat down next to me as he continued to pick at the feathers.

"What's up your ass?" He asked me as his focused stayed on the owl.

"Lori. She is having her fucking baby and mine was just ripped away from me. So what if I'm jealous? It's just unfair" I mumbled as I stared at the ground.

"There is nothing wrong with that. You're allowed to feel that way." He said as he but his hand on my shoulder.

"Ugh the baby isn't even Ricks and like it's frustrating because me and Glenn were worth something. Like we deserved it" I ranted on as I picked up a stick and teased circles in the dirt.

"You and Glenn will find a time" He said as he moved his hand off my back.

"What if we're dead by then?" I said as I looked up at him. "We don't even know if tomorrow is possible! We are barely getting by. We haven't eaten in days, we barely get any sleep, we're all tried, we barely making it! I don't want to live like this" I said as I felt tears in my eyes. I didn't want to cry.

"Y/n, so what if tomorrow isn't promised? You make it. You keep on going. We will find a place and I promise you, you will have a fucking kid" He told me. I knew he was trying to make me feel better and that's when I lost it.

I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. Daryl sighed and hugged me. My tears soaked his shirt as I hung on and clinged on to him. I wanted to give up and take a break. This was all to stressful and I couldn't keep going knowing that what if this was the last day.

"Hey...oh" I heard someone say. I looked up to see Rick. I let go of Daryl and I wiped my eyes. "You okay?" He asked as he walked down the steps to us. I nodded. "It's getting dark, I don't want y'all out here at dark" he said as he placed his hand on my back and walked me up the stairs.

When I got in I made sure to take a deep breath so I wasn't trying to make myself noticeable. Everyone was getting there own rooms and moving around. No one really payed mine to me.

I walked to a small room trying to find Glenn. He was on the side loading up everyone's guns. I closed the door behind me. He turned around quickly and smiled before he went back to what he was doing.

"Hey baby, it's like I haven't seen you in a while" he said still focused on the gun. I went up beside him and leaned on him. He looked over at me and dropped the gun he was loading and held my face in his hands. "Hey, what happened?" He asked.

"Just upset. Lori gets to have a baby and we don't" I mumbled as I shook my face form his hands and hugged him.

"It's not her fault. You shouldn't be mad at her. And one day we will have one and when time is right and when it's safe" He said as he hugged me back tightly.

I hummed in response into his chest. I closed my eyes and I felt like I was going to fall asleep. I haven't slept good in a while because I never felt safe enough to do so. Someone was always keeping watch in turns and most of the time I would help the person.

I know how it feels staying up alone and I didn't like that for them. Plus I didn't feel comfortable enough to go to sleep. I always felt like someone was watching me and I needed to be awake in case they were willing to attack.

Over the time I have gotten way better with my katana. When we come across a Walker I will practice to make sure I have it down. Sometimes I have T-Dog helping when we are all bored not doing anything.

"I love you my beautiful girl" he said as he kissed my head. It broke me out of my thoughts and I looked up at him and smiled.

"I love you too"
