Daryl didn't expect to become some sort of father figure to a kid, especially you kid. It took a while to get comfortable in Alexandria but you helped him which made him want to know you, to have you. A single parent.

he never saw himself as a good father, he didn't even want kids but he did really enjoy being apart of something, a family, your family. So here is Daryl sitting on the living floor playing cars with your kid.

"Smells good." he said to you as he continued to play cars. You were in the kitchen making something, whatever it was, it smelt good.
