Jessie started to wake up from being knocked out by Peter. In the meantime Daryl was outside making sure he stayed calm. Daryl sighed heavily and went to his truck.

Jessie looked at the webs that were keeping him pinned to the floor. "What the hell?" he asked frantically, confused.

"I'll get them off you but don't try anything." Peter rolled his eyes then ripped the webs of Jessie so he could get up.

As Jessie was getting up Daryl came in with his crossbow pointed at him. Jessie stumbled on his feet and backed up against the wall. "Holy shit!" his eyes got wide.

"Daryl, I'd put the crossbow down before he shits himself." Nicole laughed a little to herself. Jessie was always one to put on a tough act even though deep down he wasn't, he was just a jerk but Daryl could strike the fear into anyone.

Daryl grunted then lowered his crossbow, got into Jessie's face and grabbed him by the shirt, "She gets hurt. She dies. She catches a fever. She gets hit by lightning. Anything, anything happens to her, I'll kill you." Daryl said then let go of Jessie.

Jessie ran out the front door. He might have been stupid enough to try and take Nicole back for himself but he knew not to cross Daryl again after what he just said to him because he knew if he said it, he meant it.

Carl wrapped his best friend in a tight hug. "We are going to go and let things here get settled down." Carl said. "Sorry Jessie ruined things." he added after letting go of Nicole. Carl grabbed up Evan and him and Megan left and went back home.

"Are you going back home, bubby?" Nicole asked, looking at Daryl.

"Nah. Not after the shit Jessie just pulled. Daryl shook his head. "I can help around the house." he added before walking over to the couch and sitting down.

"Do you have Clementine for a while? I need some time to myself." Nicole sighed.

"Yeah." Daryl nodded.

Nicole half fake smiled then walked away, coming to the back yard and sat down in a chair at the table and put her head in her hands. Peter noticed Nicole was outside all alone so he came out back and pulled a chair up and sat next her, pulling her into a hug.

"It's okay, baby." Peter said, rubbing Nicole's back.

Nicole couldn't keep the tears in anymore. She just let it all out and started sobbing on Peter's shoulder. It hurt him to see her that way but all he could do was comfort her and let her have a good cry so Peter continued to rub Nicole's back, occasionally kissing the top of her head.

Peter had to think of something, he didn't want her to be upset. "I still think back on the day we first met." he said, smiling.

Nicole wiped her eyes and looked up at Peter. "You do?" she blushed.

"Of course." Peter said as he held onto Nicole's hands. "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me." Peter added then leaned in and kissed Nicole.

Nicole giggled while blushing bright pink.

"That's it, there's that pretty smile." Peter grinned and stood up and picked his wife up and spun her around then kissed her passionately.

Peter stood up and held his hand out. "Come on darling, let's go back inside." he said, smiling.

Nicole took Peter's hand in hers and walked with him back inside. When they got inside Daryl was sitting on the couch and in his arms was a sleeping Clem. "Aww." Nicole whispered as she sat down by her brother.

"She's been out for about ten minutes." Daryl told his sister quietly.

"Could you bring her to her room?" Nicole asked her brother.

Daryl nodded and gently got up and carried Clementine to her room then put her in her little bed and came back out, closing the door behind him. Daryl went back to the couch and dozed off pretty quickly, he was already tired.

Nicole and Peter came to their room and sat on the bed. "You want to talk any more?" Nicole asked, looking up at Peter.

"Of course!" Peter grinned. "What do you want to talk about?" he looked into Nicole's eyes.

"I've always been curious what you first thought of Carl." Nicole said, looking back into Peter's eyes.

"I'm not going to lie, he scared the shit out of me." Peter laughed. "But not as much as your brother." he added.

"Aww my brother isn't that bad." Nicole laughed.

"He came in with a crossbow." Peter pointed out, laughing a little.

"Yeah, he loves that thing." Nicole shook her head. "He's just being protective." she added.

"Nothing wrong with that." Peter said. "He's a good guy." Peter added then laid down in the bed and covered up, patting the space beside him. "Come lay down with me, darling." Peter smiled sweetly.

Nicole got in the bed with Peter and got under the covers and curled up to him and sank into his chest where she was safe. Nicole pulled her phone out, "Here let me show this picture I found before bed. Nicole said, showing Peter a picture of Daryl holding Clementine when she was only a few months old.

"Aww that's adorable." Peter smiled.

Nicole blushed, "Yes it is."

Tessa hopped up on the bed and laid between Nicole and Peter's legs and went to sleep.

Peter ran his fingers through Nicole's hair while they laid there cuddling each other. "I love you so much." he whispered and kissed the top of Nicole's head.

"I love you too." Nicole said sleepily then smiled. "How did I get so lucky?" she said before drifting off to sleep in the comfort of Peter's warm embrace.

"I wonder the same thing everyday, darling." Peter whispered to himself, blushing then went to sleep himself.
