*starts up at season 4*
"You sure you gonna be ok with her going?" Daryl asked for the 10th time.
"It's been a month I'll be fine" I said as I put some spare mags in my backpack.
It had been a month since Logan died and things between Sasha and I have been tense. Everyone saw it and felt it whenever we were in the same room. Today we were going out on a run to a big spot Daryl had found.
"Just sayin maybe you should stay behind and help clean up the fence." Daryl said.
"This really about Sasha or what I told you this morning?" I asked turning to look at him.
He just shrugged and looked at the ground. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair frustrated and regretting telling him about my period being late.
"Its not positive Daryl it could be the stress." I said.
"Yeah and if it ain't?" He asked throwing down the rag he hand in his hands.
"I don't know." I said looking down. " we'll find out today with the test"
"I can get it for you"
"I want to go."
"Fine" Daryl said giving in.
"Don't try no heroic shit while were out there" Daryl said giving me a small smile. I laughed remembering when he said that to me back the quarry when he was first teaching me how to shoot.
"Promise" I said giving him a small kiss on the cheek.
"Eva?" I turned and looked at Sasha.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Bob he wants to come with." Sasha said looking at the ground. "I told him yes."
I looked over at Daryl. It was sort of an unspoken rule that him and I would be leading this run so it was no surprise Sasha came to us. He gave me a nod his way of saying I could handle this.
"Alright." I said causing Sasha to look up. "Teach him the ropes." I said giving her a nod.
Sasha nodded back rather eagerly.
"I will don't worry." She said with a smile.
"Don't gotta tell you he'll be under your watch" I said
"I'll keep an eye on him" she said before walking off.
"Ya sure about that?" Daryl asked.
I turned toward him and shrugged.
"I need to start cutting her some slack. She was my second for a long time and I think she's been punished enough for Logan" I said
"Alright then" Daryl said.
"Let's load up!" I called turning toward everyone.
"Um Eva" I turned and smiled as Beth walked up to me.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Um I need something private" she said biting her nails.
"What's that?" I asked. I saw her eyes quickly flint over to Daryl and then back to me. I got up and walked her away looking at her expectly.
"Um can you get me a box of condoms?" She asked flushing a deep red.
"Oh god" I said turning away but she grabbed my arm.
"Eva." She said
"You're too young!" I almost shouted.
"Oh my god shut up" she whispered harshly.
"I don't wanna know." I said
"Hey like you waited that long." She said crossing her arms.
"I was 25" I said offended that she thought I had sex at her age.
"What? But we met when you were 25" she said confusion written on her face.
"Yeah Daryl was my first." I said
"No way" she said disbelief replacing her confusion.
"Way" I said crossing my arms.
"But.. But your hot" she said
"Oh god" I said again getting ready to walk away.
"Hey wait you did it with Daryl because you loved him right." She said grabbing my arm and pulling me closer.
"Yeah so?" I asked.
"Well I love Rick" she said. "And I want to be safe."
I sighed and looked at her cringing at the thought of her and Rick doing the dirty.
It had been an awkward conversation when Rick found out I knew about him and Beth.
I had just gotten done eating and was heading inside when he grabbed me by my elbow and nearly dragged me toward the east tower.
"Jesus Rick what?" I asked rubbing my arm.
"She told you" was all he said looking at me with panic clear on his face.
"Yeah" I said
"Oh god look I just want you to know I didn't plan this like I'm not some pedophile." He said frantically.
"Rick calm down!" I said
"I know you didn't plan it ok? I talked to Beth about it and she's 19 so its technically not illegal." I said rubbing my head.
"I know" Rick said rubbing his face.
"I personally don't care what you guys do so long as I don't know about it. But you should tell Hershel" I said
"Ugh I can't even think about telling him" Rick said looking away.
"Well he deserves to know" I said before walking off.
That had been a month ago and per my request Beth and Rick hadn't told me anything because Rick was like a brother to me and Beth was like a sister. Now she was asking for condoms? Oh god.
"Is he pressuring you?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"Really Eva?" Beth asked hands on her hips.
"Do you really think he would? She asked.
I sighed and shook my head.
"Fine. If I can find some I'll let them" I said through clenched teeth.
"Get large." She said causing me to grimace.
"God no!" I said running away to the sound of her laughter
"What was that about?" Daryl asked.
"Ugh ya don't wanna know" I said getting on the bike.
Daryl knew about Rick and Beth Rick having told him.
Daryl revved the bike before we rode down the pathway to the gates. After a short talk with Michonne we left the prison.
. . .
"I'll be back" I told daryl. He gave me a nod before I walked off to go and find the pregnancy tests.
I sighed as I grabbed one and stuffed it in my pack. I did not want to be pregnant. I mean i wanted children I always had ever sense I was a kid. And having them with Daryl would be even better. But having them with the dead walking was something I didn't want.
To take the baby fever away I spent a lot of my time helping raise Judith and spending time with the other kids.
I looked over at the shelves and cringed with I saw the condoms. I quickly look them over and grabbed a couple of the large boxes. Beth was only getting one but it was a good thing Rick and Daryl wore the same size. If anyone found them Beth could say she was holding them for me. Ugh.
I walked further down grabbing some diapers. We were running a little low.
"AHHHH" I heard the scream and started running toward it getting deja vu remembering running like this with Logan.
I stopped short when I saw a shelve had fallen on Bob.
"He ok?" I asked walking up to help.
"Yeah his foot his caught." Tyrese said already grabbing a side to help lift.
I was walking forward when the ceiling caved in a walker hanging by its insides fell down.
"Gross" I said stepping back when another one fell threw followed by more.
"We should probably go" Glenn said as walkers started falling threw like rain.
"Bobs still stuck we gotta get him outta there" Daryl said running forward already lifting the shelve.
I ran forward when a walker fell in front of me I quickly pulled my knife and stabbed it but once I was done another took its place causing me to back up and pull my gun instead.
Thew all the commotion I ended up in the back corner of the store trying to fight off walkers. My gun ran out making me start using my knife sense i couldn't reach the extra mags I had packed.
I was thrown against the wall as what looked like a helicopter fell thru the ceiling.
"Shit!" I yelled running toward the corner and ducking as sheet rock and roof fell on top of me covering me in white dust.
I whipped my face coughing as I stood up. There was a small opening I could crawl through. So I started to slipping a few times but finally making it out. I breathed a sigh of relief as i sucked in fresh air.
"Eva?" I heard Daryl yell.
"Over here!" I called. It wasn't long till I saw him and the group run around the corner. Daryl quickly helped me down and gave me a tight hug when I pulled away I laughed because he had white spots all over him.
"What are you laughing at?" He asked after pulling away.
"You got my white stuff all over you" I said laughing harder.
"Oh god" Daryl said rolling his eyes.
"You ok?" Sasha asked.
"I'm good" I said back giving her a smile.
"Everyone ok?" I asked.
"Lost Zach" Glenn said looking down.
. . .
"You go get cleaned up I'll put your stuff away." Daryl said as we walked back into the prison.
"Its ok. I uh have to give Beth something." I said cringing.
"Ok" he said "when you gonna take it?"
"After I shower." I said adjusting my pack.
"Want me to be there?" He asked rubbing his head.
"If you want. I could go find you after." I said
"Nah I'll be there." He said
"Ok. I'll see you in a little."
After an awkward exchange with Beth I went and had a shower.
. . .
Walking into my cell I smiled as I saw Daryl reading the pregnancy test. His face was drawn in such confusion it was almost funny.
"Hey" I said walking in.
"You just pee on it?" He asked still looking at the box.
"Yeah. It detects a hormone that goes off during pregnancy." I said putting my towel down.
"Huh" he said putting the box down and grabbing my hands pulling me toward him till his face was on my stomach. I wrapped my arms around his head and gently ran my fingers through his hair.
"What if it's positive?" He asked.
"Then its positive" I said kissing his head.
"I don't know if I can be a dad" Daryl said.
"You'll be an amazing dad Daryl" I said back.
"How do you know? You're already like a mom it won't be hard for you." He said pulling away from me. I sighed and sat down next to him.
"Wanna know how I know?" I said reaching out and grabbing his hand. Daryl nodded and looked at me.
"Your father. He showed you all the ways of being a bad dad. What not to do." I said. " you already take care of people. You take care of Judith. You take care of me. You are caring just in your own way. And if it is positive you'll take care of him or her."
"Its gonna be a him" Daryl said.
"It could be a girl" I said back.
"Nah I think it'll be a boy" he said giving me a grin.
"We Dixon men are strong" Daryl said his grin growing.
"Ugh" I said reaching for the test.
. . .
"What is it?" Daryl asked for the hundredth time.
"I don't know. It won't show for a little while" I said again.
Few seconds later he asked again. I just rolled my eyes. I looked down at my watch seeing it was time I looked at him.
"Its time" I said getting up.
I picked up the stick and nearly sagged with relief as I saw the solid pink line that confirmed I wasn't pregnant.
"Its negative" I said with a teary smile. Daryl gave me a big hug.
I was relieved I wasn't pregnant but still I was a little sad. Daryl pulled back and his brows drew together at the look on my face.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing" I said through my teary smile.
"Nah something's wrong what is it?" He asked pulling me down on the bed.
"I'm a little sad" I admitted.
"Why?" He asked clearly confused.
"I love you Daryl. And it would be an honor to have your children. Im not going to lie I kinda wanted it to be positive." I said.
Daryl turned away looking distressed.
"I don't know" Daryl said.
"Hey Daryl look at me" I said grabbing his face. When he looked at me I saw panic clear in his eyes.
"I'm not saying it has to be now or ever. I just want you to know that if you ever want to I will gladly do it." I said "ok?"
He nodded before I pulled him into a hug.
. . .
It was early the next morning Daryl and I were eating breakfast laughing when the first shot went off followed by screaming.
