Theo woke up the next morning to the sun shining through the windows. It was early, she knew that because Daryl still had her hold and had not left the bed they shared yet.

She fluttered her eyes open before yawning. She turned in the spot she was in, not having a lot of room to do so.

Daryl waking up from her sudden movement, opened his eyes slowly, seeing her trying to get back to sleep.

He pushed some of the hair back from her face as she took in a deep breath, aware now that Daryl was also awake.

"Morning" She smiled, opening her eyes once again.

"Morning" He responded, his voice somehow deeper in the morning.

They laid there in silence, coming around from their sleep in comfortable silence.

"Better get up" Daryl sighed as he sat up, Theo moving out of the way slightly to give him room.

"Be safe today" Theo worried, she knew what Daryl was having to do, and it scared her more than anything.

Knowing there is a chance that at any point, it could be the last time she is seeing him.

"I will, I promise you, I'm coming home to you, always." He smiled leaning on the bed to give her a gentle kiss before getting changed.

Theo got out of the warm bed to join Daryl, getting changed before heading downstairs, letting Saint out and getting something for breakfast.

She placed her jacket on and tied her boots up as she waited for the food to finish heating up.

Daryl's heavy footsteps slowly made their way down the stairs, he finished cooking before plating it up and handing one to Theo, the other for himself.

They ate in comfortable silence before it was time for Daryl to leave.

"I'll see you later" Theo gave him a hug as he said goodbye at the door.

"Yeah, i love you" Daryl nodded, looking at his wife knowingly that she was scared.

"I love you too" She whispered.

They kissed goodbye before Daryl began walking off. She watched him walk away until he was gone from her sight before walking back inside.

She sighed to herself not really knowing what to do with her day.

"Come on boy" She told Saint as she walked out the door, Saint followed close by.

She held her bat in her hand and headed over to the armoury.

"Olivia?" She yelled walking through the door.

Olivia appeared with her clipboard from the food storage area, meeting her at the weapons.

"You got any barbed wire, or perhaps some nails?" Theo asked as she looked through the draws.

"Third draw on the right" She pointed with a smile.

"And a blowtorch?" She asked, grabbing a box of nails.

"Here" She smiled, grabbing it from the back cupboard. "What are you going to do?" She asked, confused.

"Doing something I've wanted to do for years" She smiled leaving Olivia in the armoury with a wave

She headed back to her father's home where Carl was looking after Judith, waiting for Carol to get back and make lunch.

She sat on the porch step, cigarette in between her lips.

Carl eventually walked out with Judith in a pram.

"You off?" She asked, thinking after how it was such a weird thing for her to say, after everything of course.
