Kayla's pov
Carl starred at me completely wide eyes. I smiled and he stuttered,
"You...you remember?"
A tear slipped down my cheek as I nodded. It took a minute but suddenly that little boy I met at the beginning of all this was back. His eyes watered as he ran and embraced me forcefully. I hugged back equally as tight. I felt him shake against me as I pulls away and starred into his tearful eyes,
"I'm so sorry about daisy. I'm so sorry Carl"
He choked on a sob and grabbed onto me again. I held on forcefully and let him cry on my shoulder. When we finally pulled away I wiped stray tears from his cheek and smiled,
"Hey I'm back ok? I ain't goin nowhere"
He smirked,"ya ain't? Ya startin to sound like daryl"
I chuckled and my heart fluttered. Daryl. I had to see him, I had to be in his arms. Carl smiled and knew exactly what I was thinking,
"He went on a hunt, should be back soon."
I smiled and nodded as I slid the necklace around my neck. I exited the house with Carl right beside me.
"I'm gonna go get the twins" Carl smiled.
My breathing hitched and I smiled wide,"please"
He nodded and left my side. I looked around at our campsite. I saw Rick still by the truck looking over the Map. I walked up behind him,
"Hi"
He jumped and when he saw me he sighed and turned back to his map,
"Ya find Carl?"
"Yah he was in the house" I said,"for once" I added to low for him to hear.
"Good. Good." Rick added.
"So umm when we leavin" I asked.
"Tomorrow morning" he said shortly while rolling up the map in his hands.
"Ok anything else I can do?" I asked.
"No just rest" he said without looking at me.
Why was he avoiding eye contact with me? He started to walk away when I yelled,
"Wait! Dad!"
He immediately stopped and turned to me hesitantly,"what did ya just call me?"
"Dad" I smiled.
He started to walk towards me, tears forming in his eyes,"you remember?"
I smiled and nodded. He just starred at me blankly and then I was embraced tightly in a hug.
"Thank god" he breathed.
I smiled as more tears fell from my eyes. Our hug was interrupted when I heard a small voice yell,
"Mommy!"
I turned and saw Connor and elaina running towards me with Carl and Herschel in tow. I choked on a sob as I ran to my kids. When I finally reached them I bent down to their level and wrapped them both in my arms crying. I kissed both foreheads hundreds of times. We finally pulled away and I wiped my tears.
"Do you remember us mommy?" Elaina asked.
"Dad said you didn't" Connor added.
"Daddy was right,I hit my head hard and lost my memory, but I remember everything. I'm back ok?" I smiled.
They both nodded and hugged onto me tightly. I looked over at Herschel and he asked,
"Your memory came back?"
"Everything" I smiled.
He smiled widely,"good. I want to have a look at you later"
I nodded and continued to embrace my kids. We were brought out of our embrace when we heard a rugged voice yell,
"Hey!"
We all turned and saw daryl storming over to us with his crossbow behind his back. I smiled and my heart sped up as he approached.
"Thought I told ya two ya needed to leave yer momma alone for a while" he scolded the kids.
"We don't have to anymore" elaina smiled.
"Mommy knows us' Connor added.
Daryl looked skeptical at the kids and said,"yer momma hit her head, she don't remember."
"No she's all better" elaina cheered.
daryl made eye contact with Rick and Herschel who nodded. Finally his beautiful blue orbs met my eyes as more tears started falling and my voice cracked,
"Daryl I remember"
