The drive the next day was quiet. They had strapped Daryl's bike back into the back of his truck before they started on their way. He wanted to drive it more but knew better. He had pushed it with driving it through the hoard and didn't think Jillian would go for it again. She had laid on her back with her head resting on his leg as they drive. She hadn't want to see anything, didn't want to see the cars on the road. But when he told her they should have been close, she sat up, still curled around him.

The road ahead of them was completely clear for awhile. There was a huge hill they were traveling up and when they started down the other side but Jillian and Daryl almost stopped breathing. Ahead of them were what seemed like miles of concrete walls. In the center of the wall was a huge gate. It looked like it stood almost stood 12 feet in the air. They could see a town ahead of them.

" Dixon," Jillian said softly as she patted his arm. " Tell me I'm seeing this." She said. Posted at the gate where two guards.

" You're seeing this, Babe." He said quietly.

The guards looked through the cars, checking everyone for any sighs of sickness then the cars were led to a giant warehouse. The group was split up by sex so the females were checked by females and the males checked by males. Daryl was mad that Jillian wasn't where he could see her. So far everyone was being nice and welcoming them but Daryl still didn't trust anyone.

After everyone was checked and deemed healthy, they returned to their cars and were shown the way to the town. No one was talking. Everyone was shell shocked that the town was real. They meant with the group in charge of the town and where told there were plenty of fully stocked houses and apartments they could choose from. The town had running water and power and everything was free. No one was charged anything for anything because they were trying to start the world again.

Rick, Lori, and Carl choose a house next to Dale and Andrea who had decided to live together. Shane and Glenn were going to share an apartment. Carol and her daughter had decided to take an apartment next to Shane and Glenn. Daryl and Jillian picked a house on the other side of Dale and Andrea. Daryl would have wanted to live away from them but understood Jillian cared for them.

Daryl had never pictured himself living in a house with a real yard. He had grown up in few small apartments then lived in a trailer with Merle most of his teenage and adult life so he never pictured himself in a two story, white house with a huge back yard and a garage. He drove up the long drive way and parked the truck, completely in awe of how their life had turned around. Jillian almost jumped out the truck with excitement.

" Daryl, come on!" She called as she rushed into the house. Daryl walked slowly in and looked around.

When he walked into the house he saw a room to his left, a room to his right, a hallway in front of him and a staircase to the side of the hallway. Jillian was disappearing in and out of rooms. The house had furniture and everything they would need. She dashed down the hallway and grabbed his hand. She was smiling as she pulled him down the hallway.

It opened to a kitchen and a great room. There was a porch that lead to the back yard. They linked hands and went back down the hallway to the stairs. Jillian led the way up the stairs where the landing opened up to four doors. She opened the first door that was on their right. They walked into a huge room that they thought was the master bedroom room. There was a huge bathroom off to the left of the bedroom. They walked back out onto the landing and opened the other doors. There was another bathroom and two other rooms. The other rooms were decorated like children's room.

" Let's take a shower!" She said excitedly.

" Yeah, okay. Get it ready and I'll get our clothes and shit." He said. She faced him with a smile. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him hard. He slowly brought his hands to her waist.

" Be happy, Mr. Dixon." She said softly. " This maybe the start of a regular life for us." He felt his shoulders sag as he gazed at her face. He could see how excited and happy she was but he couldn't shake the strange feelings he was having.

" I am happy, Officer Winters. I'm just nervous. Good things don't just happen." He said. She sighed.

" You're a good thing and you just happen to me." She said. He smiled and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around him and they started making out. He put his hand into the back of her hair as he guided her head.

" You best get your sweet lil ass in that shower before I lose control and fuck the hell out of you right here." He said. She laughed as he set her down.

" Hurry up." She said as they walked out of the kid's room.

Jillian was sitting on the bed, brushing her hair as he finished getting dressed. The shower had felt good and not just because they had had sex. He'd never showered with a girl before and took his time washing her, rubbing her shoulders and washing her hair. He was surprised at how much he liked her rubbing the soap against him. He promised her they won't be taking any showers alone.

After they were dressed, they walked over to Rick's and made plans to have a big dinner with everyone to celebrate. They would all meet at Jillian's and Daryl's later that night so Daryl and Jillian decided to go for a drive around the town and check everything out. When they got into the truck, she slid over to him right away.

They drove carefully through the town and were surprised that people were waving to them. There were shops and diners. There were a couple of farms were fruits, vegetables, and animals were being cared for as well as butchered for food. There was a library and a few Churches as well as a police station and a town hall. It was a fully functioning city.

" Is it just me or are there a lot of pregnant women walking around?" Jillian asked. She had moved back to the passenger side and had rolled down the window. Daryl had his window down and his left arm resting on the door frame.

" Yeah, there's a lot. Don't be gettin any ideas." He warned. Jillian laughed and looked at him.

" Don't worry. I'm not." She said before she looked away. He adjusted in the seat to sit back as he sighed.

" You know, it's not because I won't want babies with you." He felt the need to explain himself. " I do, some day. Just not right now." She looked at him and reached out to rub his leg.

" You don't have to explain. I'd love to have your baby, to start a family with you." He was surprised at her honesty. " But I want some more alone time with you and the world's not in a place where having a baby is a good thing right now." He relaxed at her words.

" I didn't want you gettin mad at me, I know women want babies and shit." He said. She slid over to him again and kissed his cheek.

" I'm not mad. Being a mama is the last thing on my mind right now, okay? I'm going to be a little selfish for a while, I want to spend time with just you so we can get adjusted to our new life here. Maybe in a couple of years, if the world gets back to normal, we can talk about starting a family." She said. He nodded and switched his arms around. He put his right arm around her and pulled her close. He kissed the top of her head, his arm around her neck.

" I love you." He said.

" I love you." She answered with a smile.
