By the time I was out there the sun was beginning to peek from behind the trees. I followed the commotion to Rick's house, next door. I walked in seeing a man with long brown hair, surrounded by Rick, Michonne, Daryl, and Carl.
"Y'all good?" I asked, nodding to Michonne.
"We're good." Rick huffed, making the man sit. "This is Jesus."
I nodded at Daryl and he beckoned me towards the door.
"Can you guard the door? Make it discrete."
"Sure thing." I nodded. I sat out on the steps, taking my gun apart, using my sleeve to wipe it down some.
A few people passed, but mostly everyone who needed to know was inside.
It wasn't long before everyone filed out of the house.
"Hey, what's happening?" I asked, following Daryl.
"Says he's from a place called the Hilltop, he's trading with other communities, we're gonna go check it out-"
"No shit?" I held back the smile on my lips.
"No shit." He confirmed. "You should stay-"
"You should stay!" I huffed. "There's no way I'm not going." I shook my head.
We moved back to the room, and packed our things.
"Meet you by the RV." Daryl spoke, pressing a kiss to my ear.
I added some water to the pack I usually take with me, then found Denise.
She was with Daryl at the RV.
"Hey, you gonna be okay?" I asked, letting Daryl take my pack.
"Yeah, have you started Eddie on meds yet?" She asked.
"Yes, he's had one today, and he needs one this evening after he eats." I told her.
"Okay, you guys be safe." She nodded.
"Always." I spoke, getting in the RV behind Abraham.
During the ride, I could tell Abraham was curious about something until he asked about Glenn and Maggie's pregnancy.
I smiled, at Glenn's answers, loving the idea that hopefully someday all of our kids could play together.
"Maybe someday when all of us are old our kids will be doing this." I offered. "Going out, scouting, creating a world a lot bigger than ours will be be."
"That's terrifying." Glenn sighed, smiling down at a sleeping Maggie.
"I think it's damn right beautiful." Abraham nodded.
I looked over at Daryl looking out of the window. I'm sure he was listening but not completely invested in the conversation.
I wondered if he ever wanted kids- or if we were even there yet.
I don't think I could even have kids at this point anyway.
"You want kids?" Daryl's question surprised me. He had turned to look at me, gnawing at his thumbnail.
"I did." I nodded, tugging his hand from his face.
"Did?"
"I do." I shrugged. "Do you?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "Ain't never thought about it." He let out a sigh.
I didn't push the conversation anymore, but let him think about it himself.
The ride was pretty smooth until Rick stopped the RV.
"There's a crash up ahead. Looks like it just happened." Rick announced.
