Daryls pov

i ran as fast as I could through the store, looking down every aisle. My heart was pounding as I couldn't find my son.

"Connor!" I yelled.

nothing.

i ran back to the front of the store and looked there. I swear imma get wip lash from searchin as fast as I was.

"Connor!" I yelled again.

"dad!" I heard.

my heart stopped and I made my way to where I heard him. His voice wasn't urgent, but I ran as fast as I could,

"where are ya!"

"over here!" He yelled.

i quickly aimed my crossbow, ready for whatever happened. His voice was coming from the photo shop. I lowered my crossbow when I saw him looking at a small polaroid camera. I let out a sigh of relief as I went up to him,

"the hell did ya not understand when I said stay behind me?"

"I'm sorry daddy" he whispered looking up.

"I swear ya are just like your mother" I said.

"how?" He asked.

"don't listen to a damn thing you're told" I said.

it was almost impossible for me to be mad at him right now. I was so thankful he wasn't hurt and it scared the hell out of me when I turned and he wasn't there. I sighed and bent down to his level,

"ya scared me."

"But I thought you didn't get scared?" He asked.

"what makes you think I don't get scared?" I asked.

"cause you're brave" he whispered.

"Being brave don't mean ya don't get scared sometimes." I said.

he nodded and said,"sorry dad"

i kissed his forehead,"it's alright. Just don't do it again or you'll stay at the prison next time"

he quickly nodded and turned back to the camera. I looked at what he was looking at and he asked,

"what's this?"

"it's a camera" I said.

"what's it do?" He asked.

"takes pictures" I said.

"like the one in moms necklace?" He asked.

"ya" I said grabbing it.

i messed with it for a minute and then turned it facing him,"smile"

he looked at me confused, but smiled and I snapped the picture. It clicked and printed it as I grabbed it. He watched in amazement. I shook the picture till it appeared and showed it to him. He took it and smiled widely,

"do ya think mom would like it for her birthday?"

"I think she would" I said standing up,"go ahead and grab it. That'll be from you and your sister"

he nodded and took the camera from me with one hand and grabbed ahold of my hand with his other. I led him to the jewelry department. I let go of his hand and looked at the cases with necklaces in em. I still wasn't good with this shit. I had a hard enough time pickin out her wedding ring. My eyes gazed over the jewelry till I came across one that looked like an arrow with the top bein a heart. I grabbed it and held it infront of my face to get a better look. She'd like it right? I looked over to Connor and showed him the necklace,

"ya think she'll like it?"

he looked at it and nodded.

"Alright" I said and stuffed it into my pocket grabbing his hand again,"common lets get back. Yer mothers probably worried sick"

he nodded and we made our way back to the prison.

The next day Kayla's pov

daryl and Connor got back late last night. I swear they love making me a nervous wreck. When I woke up this morning I wasn't surprised at all to see daryl not there. Just once I would enjoy waking up to him, but that's what ya get when yer married to a hunter. I sighed and walked into the kids cell. They weren't there either. My heart started to pound and I quickly ran downstairs where I was greeted by the group. They were all smiling at me. I arched an eyebrow when Connor and elaina ran up to me hugging my legs,

"happy birthday!"

i smiled down at them and looked back up to see Rick and Carl walking up to me. they each engulfed me in a hug and Connor and elaina ran by daryl. I was shocked. Daryl smirked at my expression and he walked up next kissing me on the lips,

"happy birthday"

"daryl..how...what..." I asked surprised.

"July 15th. Wouldn't forget it" he smirked.

"daddy can we give mommy the present now?" Elaina asked.

he smirked down at her and nodded. Connor ran up next to her and said,"mom close your eyes"

i did as I was told and felt something placed in my hands. I opened my eyes and saw I was holding a polaroid camera. I looked at daryl shocked. Where did they find this! I turned back to my kids,

"this is perfect! Thank you both so much' I kissed both of them on the heads.

daryl grabbed my hand and then looked at Rick. Rick and Carl nodded and said,

"come on guys, let's go out in the yard"

carl scooped up elaina and Rick grabbed Connors hand as they left. I looked back at daryl and said,

"you never cease to amaze me dixon"

he smiled and started digging in his pocket. He then pulled out a necklace. I starred at it wide eyed. It was beautiful.

"daryl" I gasped.

"turn around" he said.

i nodded and turned as he slid the necklace in for me. He turned me back around and I starred down at the diamond heart arrow,

"it's perfect"

"you deserve it" he whispered.
