Daryl always wanted a kid.He just held off because he was scared he'd turn out like his dad..an abusive asshole. It was years into the apocalypse now, and he found himself finally able to show that care for a child, not Biologically one of his own but the best he could hope for. Her own father died early into the apocalypse, leaving Rick (her fathers best friend) to look after her; however as Rick was constantly out on runs or busy Daryl had taken her in. Daryl and her live together now, like a proper family. One night Daryl sees her not in her bed, missing. He panicks for a while but eventually finds her sitting on the rooftop, admiring the stars.
