You and Daryl are a couple and you've always dreamed of having your own family, but Daryl was against it because he thought this current world was to dangerous and there was a chance that the child would grow up without a father, mother, or in the worst case, no parents at all, so you never mentioned it to him how important this is to you, not wanting to disturb the peace in this relationship.

It was a beautiful day when you and Daryl decided to go for a walk in Commonwealth. Everywhere you looked you saw baby carriages, parents with their babies in their arms and kids running around on the nearby playground.

Your gaze became unintentionally dreamy, your thoughts filled with a child of your own.

You looked at Daryl who had seen your gaze for a long time, "No" he said bluntly. You were immediately torn from your thoughts and looked at him like 'I didn't say anything'

He smiled a little, which made you question whether he really meant the no from before "I can see it in yer eyes… but ya already know what I think ‘bout that."

Immediately your mood was somewhat dampened, he sighed softly and urged you to stop... his hand found your cheek and stroked it gently

"I know ya been wantin’ this for years… hell, I want it too. Ain’t nothin’ I want more, truth be told. But… I dunno if I can do right by a baby. What if I’m out on a run that takes weeks? What if I miss the first words… first steps… what if you’re hurtin’, bringin’ ’em into the world, an’ I ain’t there to hold your hand? I don’t… I don’t wanna fail ya like that."

He laid down all his worries and for the first time you saw how much he wanted it but his own thoughts got in the way, his eyes were filled with uncertainty.
