A little drabble to expand on the Caryl scene from 02x05.
Carol finally comes clean with Daryl about what happened with Karen and David, but he isn't here to judge her. Everyone has blood on their hands, and her sins aren't going to change how he feels about her. It takes place during 5x02.
It'd been a long time since they'd indulged themselves in carnal pleasures, but this wasn't meant to be just one night of passion. No, it was merely the beginning of something new – something they'd both been craving their entire lives. It was ironic how it took the world ending to bring them together
Daryl goes on a run with the others and brings Carol back some goodies. She's skeptical of the gifts until he reminds her what day it is.
Carol isn't at all happy about celebrating her birthday ... until Daryl changes her mind.
Carol and Daryl go on a supply run. It storms, and they're forced to bed down for the night, which leads to a confession of unrequited feelings which have been kindling between them for a long time. Post war fic.
The war is over and as Carol and Daryl reflect on the past, they discover their future together is filled with endless possibilities, but not without some conflicts of course. Shortly after beginning their relationship, Carol realizes she's pregnant, and someone has been watching her - a deranged and delusional individual who believes Carol is his dead wife. Will Daryl save her in time, or is it already too late?
