You looked around as you grabbed up whatever you could for the little girl sitting on the bed staring at you and stuffed it in a bag, you grabbed her up and held her close to your chest before running out of Alexandria and into the woods. You held on tightly to the small child and ran for the longest time, trying your hardest to get out of sight, and to get to an area where you could hide with the child. You came to a stop and looked around not seeing a human or walker as far as you could see in the dark, you pulled the small child away and she looked up at you "It's okay, I'll get you out of here. You're safe." You relaxed for a minute before deciding to pick up your pace.
"Where is Y/n?" Maggie looked around as the group rushed into Hill Top "She was right behind me!" Rosita looked around as well, as Daryl emerged from the side of a trailer since him and Judith had taken the secret way in "Is everyone else accounted for?" Jesus asks looking around.
"Yes, we're all here. Rick and Michonne hung back to bury Carl." Gabe nodded as Enid looked hurt and started crying "Where's Y/n?" Daryl walked over holding onto Judith "She's not here, I can't find my little buddy Joanna Beth either." Rosita looked at Daryl as he began to look panicked.
"She'll be here, and with any luck she has Joanna Beth." Maggie started helping people settle in and getting places to sleep.
You sat in the woods drained of all energy as you held onto little Joanna Beth "It's just me and you now little thing. We gotta make it to Hill Top." You looked around and allowed the little girl to lay on your chest as you stayed awake to watch for any walkers.
Weeks were passing by now, Daryl went out everyday looking for you and the small child you had saved but with no luck. He tried to look in even the most unthought of trails that he was for sure you would pick one of them, Rick and Michonne had already made it to Hill Top and they were devastated to hear that you had not made it to Hill Top "Our only other option is to stop going out there, we're wasting time and day light. We need to repair Alexandria." Maggie had to make the hard decision which broke Daryl's mind.
Another 7 weeks had passed by now so in total Daryl hasn't seen you for 14 weeks, he had grown weak in the heart as he couldn't find you. Nor could he find the small little girl named Joanna that you had saved from that tragic night.
"Everybody!" A man at the gate called catching everyone's attention "Rick is wanting to leave to search for Y/n and Joanna!" They were at the gate trying to stop Rick from leaving which escalated into a fist fight "Hey! Stop it!" Michonne, Maggie, Daryl and Jesus jumped in automatically to stop the fight but had very little luck.
"Get off me! He told me Y/n's dead!" Rick fought even harder to get at the guy and Daryl stopped for a second he thought about letting Rick at the guy for even thinking you were dead.
"Everybody stop!" Maggie tried to yell out but no one was listening to her, nobody could hear her. Everyone jumped and looked at Maggie as she held her gun in her hand after just firing a shot into the sky to catch everyone's attention "Listen." Maggie had a look of hope in her eyes as they all quieted down.
They rushed up to open the gates after hearing the sound of a baby crying, the gates opened to reveal you holding onto baby Joanna "Y/n." Rick had tears in his eyes as did everyone else including Daryl "I thought you'd never open that gate." You commented walking into Hill Top.
"Joanna Beth." Maggie took the small child from you and you smiled weakly "You're alive." You looked at Daryl and saw the broken look in his eyes "I am. I had to survive." Daryl immediately wrapped you in his arms tightly as he held onto you for dear life.
"You're both okay?" Rick asked as you nodded holding on tightly to Daryl "Let me see my baby girl." Maggie nodded and handed the small baby girl to Daryl who held her in his arms "I had to keep our baby girl safe, I had to make sure you saw our daughter again." Daryl put his arm around you as he held your bouncing baby girl.
"I never I thought I'd see the day where Daryl was a dad." Rosita looked at you and you smiled "After the attack on Alexandria, I grabbed what I could and I took off into the woods. I was trying to bring us here, and I finally did." You put your head on Daryl's shoulder feeling more than happy to be back with your people.
Later that night you laid in bed next to Daryl as your daughter laid in a crib fast asleep "Everyone thought ya and Jo were dead." Daryl muttered staring at the ceiling "You knew better than that." You looked at him and he turned over facing you "I always went out everyday looking for you both." He admitted "I know you did, I hoped everyday that I would find you looking for us. I didn't. But one day I was walking and I saw your shoe prints." Daryl looked at you and you nodded.
"How else did I get here? I was way off track until I saw your shoe prints in the mud." He smiled and pulled you closer to him "Ya ain't going nowhere else, you or Jo." You smiled as you snuggled up to your man and nodded "I'm not running off without you again." You kissed his cheek and looked at you "I love ya, I love ya both." You smiled kindly "I love you too, we love you too Dixon." He wrapped his arms tighter around you as he gave you a kiss before you both fell asleep.
