When we sat down inside the gazebo someone came over and poured us a glass of wine each.
"This is so fancy" I giggled.
"You deserve it all and more" he said.
We chatted away for a while before they came over with beautiful food. I sat and savoured every mouthful. "I can't get over this how well it has all come together" I said.
"They are in the process of extending it as well" Daryl said.
"This is amazing" I smiled, "do you think we could still run commonwealth and live here?"
" I can't see why not this is part of the commonwealth now" he said.
"I can't explain to you how much I love it here" I said.
"Do you hate it that much where we are now?" he asked.
"I don't hate it I love that we are all there together, well most of us and its really good for the kids education. But it's just not the same, this is home"
"Well what about when we have children?" he asked.
"Then I'm sure that you being the top man now can organise the education better here" I laughed, "plus its a long way a head before we have our own family"
"why is it?" he asked.
"we both agreed that right now wasn't a good idea with the kids, at least until Michonne came back" I said.
"Why should we wait?, they're good kids they will understand" he replied.
"did you not hear her yesterday say she didn't think we would have time to help her with her science project. That really hurt me that did" I said.
"Mee you would have more time if we had a baby because you wouldn't be working" he replied.
"yes I would, the world doesn't stop because you have a baby" I sighed.
"Yeah but you wouldn't be working as much and I will take more of the work load from you" he said.
"I don't know" I said shaking my head.
"Look you missed a pill already and doesn't it take a while to get out of your system?" he asked.
"well yeah generally a month for every year you have been on it" I replied.
"And how long is that?" he asked.
"Around 12 years I think" I said.
"so that's a year so like a year to 2 years before we have an actually baby, I feel that it will be a good time" he said.
"If your're sure. I would like to sit down with the kids first" I said.
"If that's what you want" he smiled.
We finished the meal and had a slow walk around the lake, with the moon light reflecting off the water.
"I seriously have one more surprise and that's it" he said.
"what is with all the surprises?" I asked.
"I want to treat you so I will" he said.
He handed me a box a long thin one, Inside was a bracelet with the intials D and M on.
"This is beautiful" I said.
He took it out of the box and put it on my wrist.
"come on lets go back to the house" I said wrapping my arm's around his neck.
"Mmm how about we fool around down here" he said lifting me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist.
"What if someone sees?" I asked.
"don't be boring" he winked. So he carried me to the back of one of the houses they were still renovating and bunny fucked me against the wall. How we weren't caught was a miracle because I wasn't exactly quiet. He put me down and I pulled my knickers up and straightened
myself up.
We laughed joked and kissed all the way back to our house, I kicked my shoes off and ran upstairs to get changed.
I had a quick wash and put on my short pjs and piled my hair up on the top of my head
and put my slippers on.
When I got back down stairs, Daryl had opened a bottle of wine and, I arranged my flowers into a vase.
"Isn't this lovely being alone for a while?" he asked, as I took a seat next to him on the sofa.
"It is but all I can think of is how much the kids would love this" I sighed.
"shall we radio them?" he asked.
"Yeah" I said my eyes lighting up.
We went to the study and turned on the radio we called their handles for a few minutes and then we heard my beautiful Judith's voice.
"Auntie Mia it's me ovber" she said.
"Hello my beautiful" I said grinning.
"We are having the best time" she replied.
"Uncle Daryl and I are having a good time but we miss you so much" I said.
"We miss you too don't we RJ?" she said.
I heard him say yeah.
"where are you?" she asked.
"Well guess what? We are at the old house and it has all been fixed up just like it used too and you have the most amazing room" I replied.
"that is so good can we come soon?" she asked.
"yes of course you can we will plan a trip in the next few weeks" I said.
"Yeah we will love that" she said.
"and also they fixed the church up and they want me to name it, so I was wondering if you could help me?" I asked.
"Yes that's exciting" she replied.
"And they have also fixed up the gazebo where Carl loved to sit" I said.
I heard her voice crack up as she got emotional.
"I can't wait to see it" she said.
"Judith?" I said.
"Yes Aunt Mia" she replied.
"I really love you, you know and RJ and Uncle Daryl does too and no matter what you will always be our special little people" I smiled getting upset.
"Why are you leaving us as well?" she asked, fully crying now.
"Hey don't be silly, you are our most favourite people in the world and we will look after you always, even when Dad and Mom come back" I said.
"If they come back" she said.
"WHEN!" I replied.
We chatted for a while longer before Carol said they had to go because they were playing a game with The King and her before bed.
After I got off the radio I burst into tears.
"Hey calm down babe" he said hugging me.
"I love those kids" I said.
"I know babe, I love them like they were my own too." he replied.
"What if we aren't enough for them? You know in the future babe" I said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I just think once they're older they will begin to resent us if we don't get Rick back or Michonne" I sighed.
"Babe we have been in their lives since they were born and we have both had a part to play in their up bringing and the way everyone speaks about them, I think we have done a bloody good job and nothing is going to change that. Even if we have 50 kids" he laughed.
"You know I stress about all this stuff" I sighed.
"Yes I know and its only natural that you would feel like that especially all we have been through. But look we have come out the otherside and the last 2 years we have done that no one else. We have protected them we have provided, loved and looked after them" he said.
"I know I am an idiot" I said crying again.
"Now come here you idiot lets go and watch your favourite film" he smiled. We sat back on the sofa and he put the dvd player on and he put Mr Blandings builds his dream house. He was right it was my all time favourite film. We laughed all the way through it and by the end of the film I was a bit typsy. We switched everything off and went up stairs. Daryl got undressed and lay down in the bed. I had a little surprise for Daryl, which I had quickly packed before Mercer had come to pick me up. I went in the bathroom and put on the slinky night dress I had worn on our wedding night.
I stood in the doorway and cleared my throat.
"Oh my god!" he said pulling back the bed clothes "get here now" he added.
I switched the light off and ran to the bed. We made love for ages and I was shattered by the time we had finished. I snuggled into Daryl's arms and we lay naked until we fell asleep.
It was late when we woke up and Daryl had breakfast for us in bed.
"I could get used to this" I giggled.
"I know yeah" he said biting into some fresh pastry's.
"So what are our plans for the day?" I asked.
"Well I thought we could go for a walk and go spend the day saying hello to everyone. Then I thought we could see what issac had made recently for us to take back for the kids" he said.
"sounds good" I smiled.
"Then I was thinking we could spend the rest of the night, chilling watching my favourite film and make pizzas for our dinner and then practice making babys as we have a long journey tomorrow" he said.
"sounds like a perfect plan to me" I said.
So we showered together and got dressed. I wore a floaty summery flowery dress with sandles and I platted my hair in 2 dutch braids and did my make up bronzey. I wore my hand bag and put my denim jacket over it incase it got cold afterwards. I sprayed my favourite perfume and we headed out.
We went to Aaron and Gracie's first. They had made some lemonade for us and cupcakes.
We sat int the garden chatting and soaking up the sun.
"Oh I have something for you" Daryl said to Grace. He stood up and got a friendship bracelet out of his pocket.
"This is from Judith" he said handing it to her.
"Oh that is so beautiful" she smiled.
"She has one the same so you will always be with each other" Daryl added.
"I have a few things for Judith" she said, running off into the house.
"They are the cutest" I smiled.
"Gracie really misses Judith" he said.
"I know but hopefully things will change soon" I grinned.
"what do you mean?" Aaron asked.
"when we have sorted out things in the main town, we are thinking of moving back out here" I said.
"Oh we would love that" Aaron said.
"This is home for us and coming here this weekend I feel even more sure" I said.
Grace came back out with a bag full of things for Judith, RJ and Coco and there were even things for us. We gave them hugs and thanked them for the lemonade before we headed to our next stop.
Jerry was sat on the porch with the kids when Nabila came out of the house with the baby.
"Yes the big guys are here" Jerry chuckled.
All the kids came running over to us and jumped on us.
When we eventually got free we gave Nabila and Jerry a hug. I absolutely adored Jerry from the day I met him. I loved to be in his company he made me so happy. It was never negative with Jerry he was always happy.
He went and made us some fresh apple juice and we sat on the porch in the sunshine. We chatted away for ages and the energy they threw off made me so happy.
"I really miss you two" I said.
"We miss you guys too we can't wait till we get back to the main town" Jerry said.
"The kids will be back for Coco's birthday party" I asked.
"Yes and I will but Jerry won't" Nabila said.
"Uncle Jerry is the favourite at partys" Daryl said.
"I know I am so gutted" he sighed.
After a few hours with them we moved onto our next stop. We went to Issacs and found a beautiful desk he had restored, which was perfect for Judith. He then got out an archery set that he had made which was perfect for RJ and then we had ordered a wendy house for Coco's birthday which was flat packed for delivery. We went and saw Lydia for a while and saw how she had done her little house up. She was also dating a young lad called ky who I knew and he was a good kid.
We headed back to the house when we were stopped by a lady called Sandra who had a basket full of food to make our pizza.
We both got in our comfy clothes and made two pizza's. We sat and ate them with wine whilst we watched Daryl's favourite film. It was Law abiding citizen, which I thought was a pretty good film too.
The pizza was lovely and I had a lovely time just chilling doing normal things. Just a shame it was back to normality the following morning.
