A few days later Kayla's pov

i watched smiling as Connor and elaina played tag in the courtyard. I had been putting the camera to good use and probably took hundreds of the kids. Actually I probably had pictures of everyone except daryl. He never let me take one of him. He said I didn't need it. Daryl was out hunting, but didn't take Connor this time. I looked over and saw Rick and Carl by the garden. I smiled and walked over to em,

" well if this isn't a photo op I don't know what is" I laughed.

"you think everything is a photo op" Carl laughed.

" I know" I smiled and turned, pulling the camera out infront of us," say cheese!"

Rick came on one side of me and Carl on the other and I snapped th picture. It printed and I shook it until the image showed. I smiled at it and Carl said,

"it's the end of the world and you're takin selfies"

i smiled," sure am"

i then threw my camera to Rick and said,"Carl come on"

he looked confused,"what?"

"gonna teach you to drive" I smiled

he quickly perked up and ricks expression was priceless. I laughed at his worried face," come on dad! Dont give me that face."

he shook his head,"it's your funeral"

"hey!" Carl snapped while Rick and I both laughed.

I grabbed Carl's hand and ran to one of our trucks. He got in and started it up.

"Seatbelt" I said.

he rolled his eyes,"come on Kay it's not like we're gonna get pulled over"

"I'm not too sure. I mean we are being watched by a cop"'I joked.

he rolled his eyes and I said, "seriously Carl seat belt"

he groaned and put it on,"happy?"

i smiled and nodded,"alright now shift it into drive and barely tap the gas"

he did as he was told and started driving around the courtyard. Nice and slow at first and then I had him speed it up. I taught him how to reverse and everything. Once our lesson was done I said,

"alright let's switch"

"but you already know how to drive" he said.

i smirked and opened the door,"just do it"

i heard him groan and we switched seats. Once I was in the drivers seat, we put on our seat belts and I shifted the truck into four wheel drive. I smirked devilishly at Carl,

"you may wanna hold on"

he gave me a nervous smile at first and held onto his seat as I slammed on the gas. I started doing donuts in the yard. All I could hear were the sounds of Carl and I laughing. This was awesome! Once we had our fun, I parked the truck and we walked back up to Rick. He smirked,

"how'd I know something like that was going to happen"

"come on dad we gotta have fun" I laughed.

he handed me my camera and a few pictures. I took them and looked to see he took pics of us in the truck. I smiled at him and hugged him tightly when Maggie came running out of the prison,

"guys! Come quick!"

rick and I looked at each other worriedly and ran inside after her. We followed her to the cafeteria where Beth and carol had been messing with an old radio we found.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Rick asked worried.

"We heard voices" Beth exclaimed as carol was messing with it trying to find them I guess.

"what did it say?" I jumped when I heard daryl behind me. He had both kids in his arms. When did he even get back?i smiled at him and then directed my attention back to Beth.

Thats when we heard it. It was muffled, but it was definitely voices. Carol messed with it some more when we finally heard it loud and clear,

"this is an important message to all survivors. If you are hearing this make your way as quickly as you can to fort mason. I repeat fort mason."

we all looked at each other. Some had skeptical looks and others were excited.

"fort mason?" Glenn asked.

"I've heard of it, it's an old army base" Herschel said.

"should we go?" Carol asked.

"I don't know" Maggie protested.

"we have a good setup here" Carl said.

"ya but there are more survivors! Maybe they found a cure! Maybe it's safer" carol said.

we all turned to Rick who had a stern face. He looked at us,

"no. We stay here"

"why?" Beth asked.

"Carl's right, we have a good thing going here and it may be a trap" he said.

"or it could be the army trying to reach out to survivors to help us" carol butted in.

"look let's sleep on it and talk about it tomorrow" I said before it got too heated.

everyone seemed to agree there and daryl and I put the kids to bed. After that I walked into our cell and put all the pictures I took today into a backpack that I was keeping every picture I took in. I sighed and looked over to daryl who was taking off his shirt and laying down. I slipped out of my boots and pulled on some sweat pants as I made my way over and laid my down next to him with my head in his chest. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I traced the tattoo of my name he had on his chest with my finger. It gave me butterflies remembering that day in the tattoo parlor. I sighed,

"so what do you think of fort mason?"

"don't know. I don't trust anything anymore" he sighed.

"sounds too good to be true if ya ask me" I whispered.

"whatever it is and whatever decision the group makes, I'm gonna make sure you and the kids are safe" he whispered.

i smiled,"you always do"

"I trust ricks opinion so whenever he decides, that's when we'll deal with it" he said.

I looked up at him and asked,"how come I can't take your picture with the camera?"

"don't need to" he said.

"sure I don't need to, but I want to" I whispered.

"don't need a picture of me babe. Ain't going anywhere" he said kissing my head.

"I know but please" I begged.

he sighed,"fine"

i smiled and reached for my camera and held it above us. He turned to me and kissed my cheek as I took it. I smiled in success As it came to.

"leave it to ya to be in a zombie apocalypse and take damn selfies" he muttered.

"Ya sound like Carl" I smirked.

"kid gets smarter eveyday" he whispered.

i playfully rolled my eyes and lay my head back on his chest quickly falling asleep.
