Daryl held his son Matthew in his arms.  He thought about Matthew's birth compared to Amelia's. He had been shocked by Amelia's.  He was hit with fatherhood in a matter of a few hours.  He had went from single guy wishing he had his girlfriend back to a father who had not only got his girl back, but got her to agree to marry him.  It had been surreal.  He expected to breeze through Matty's birth.  But he quickly realized as the tears rolled down his cheeks that holding Matty was just as magical as holding Amelia.

"Can you stop hoggin' our son?" Beth jokingly laughed.

Daryl handed off Matty to Beth but not before giving her a passionate kiss.

"Y'know that's what brought ya here, right?" Maggie joked.

"Yeah, baby brother, ya might wanna go get a little snip snip while ya here," Merle added with a grin.

"No way!" Beth exclaimed.  "We might want to have another one someday."

Everyone looked at Daryl, expecting him to protest.  When the protest didn't come, Daryl said, "She's right.  Some day we might wanna give Amelia and Matty another brother or sister."
