All Out War

Chapter 48

I went back to our room to get Daryl. The second I opened the door, he was laid across the bed with his arm over his eyes. I quietly closed the door then made my way to him.

"Daryl!" I shouted while jumping on top of him at the same time.

He grunted then looked at me.

"The hell you do that for?" he asked sitting up and holding me in place on his lap.

"Thought it would be funny," I said.

"Well, it wasn't," he said clearing his throat.

"Well, it was for me which was the whole reason I did it in the first place so, ha," I said.

He rolled his eyes then pulled me in for a kiss. He took me by surprise by quickly placing me on my back.

"What the hell?" I said smiling.

"Now, that's funny," he said as he hovered over me.

I pulled him in for another kiss. He then slowly moved his hand under my shirt. I moved away from his kiss.

"Daryl...wait," I breathed.

"What is it?" he asked.

"We said we'd see Carl and Judith," I replied.

"It'll be real quick," he whispered kissing my neck.

"Oh God," I moaned.

He started to unbutton my shirt.

"No. Look, if we start this now, I'm not gonna want to stop...and I'm not gonna want to leave this bed. Let's see the kids before we escalate this any further, okay?" I said.

He sighed.

"Alright," he said kissing me once more.

He stood up and held his hand out to me. I took it then started buttoning my shirt back up.

"I almost had you," he said.

"That wasn't cool. You know how much I can't resist your lips on my neck," I said.

"What? Like this?" he retorted leaning in and kissing my neck again.

"Stop. Let's go," I said chuckling and pulling him towards the door.

We walked to the room at the end of the hall and knocked.

"Come in," Carl said.

I opened the door to him rocking Judith in his arms on a rocking chair.

"Hey," he said.

"Hey, bud," I said.

Gracie was inside as well but she was fast asleep.

"What's up?" he asked.

"We were just coming over to check on you," I said.

Daryl pulled up a chair and took a seat near Gracie's crib. He watched her snooze away. It was an adorable sight. I gently rubbed at Judith's back then took a seat across from Carl.

"Did you two get something to eat?" I asked.

"Yeah. We did. So...you guys are going tomorrow?" he said.

"Yup. We're not all that sure if what Dwight gave us was a trap or not but we're going to find out," I said.

"You gonna kill Negan if he's there?" he asked.

I looked at him.

"I know what you said earlier...But you've gotta understand why he needs to die," I said.
