"No, he's dead." Daryl says.
-
"Max?" I ask.
-
He nods.
-
I look down, and sit back down beside Carl. I wipe my eyes. I grab Carl's hand, him not grabbing it back. "I love you." I say, laying my forehead on his chest. Daryl stands in the corner of the room. I lift my head back up. I stare at the wall, behind the bunk.
-
"Taylor. Come on. You and me can go outside." Daryl said to me, walking closer to me.
-
"No." I say, my voice cracking.
-
"Taylor. Come on. We can talk about anything. Okay? You are in a lot of stress and its not good for the baby. Carol will stay in here and treat Carl." Daryl tells me, lifting me up.
-
I stand up. "O-okay." I say, my voice cracking a little bit again. Daryl helps me outside. He takes me to the middle of the field.
-
"Alright, talk away." He tells me, helping me sit.
-
"About what?" I ask, wiping my eyes.
-
"Anything. What you're feeling, what you're excited for, what you want to do I the future if this continues." He tells me.
-
"Well, I'm excited to have the baby." I say, slightly looking at him. "Carl will be a daddy, I would be a mommy, Rick would be a grandpa." I say.
-
He smiles. "Beth would be sorta an aunt, Carol would be too. You would consider you as his grandpa too, Michonne as his grandma." I tell him.
-
"Him?" Daryl says.
-
"I meant the baby." I reply.
-
"Do you want it to be a boy?" Daryl asks me, rubbing my belly.
-
"It doesn't really matter to me. A boy would be nice though." I admit.
-
"Y'know what I can't wait for?" Daryl asks, looking at me.
-
"What?" I ask.
-
"I can't wait till you are able to walk normal again." Daryl jokes, laughing.
-
I playfully hit him. "Shut up." I say, laughing a bit.
-
"Good, you're smiling." He says.
-
I smile small.
-
"You have any plans for the future if the world is still like this?" Daryl asks me.
-
"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it." I say. "I just want all of us to be together and to survive." I say. He nods. It's silent for a few minutes.
-
"Is there anything you're looking forward to?" I ask Daryl.
-
"Well, actually I really want to.." He starts, looking at me, slightly smiling.
