In the evening Daryl was sitting in his room. He wanted to tell Connie everything but he felt like he needed to settle in again. It was the first time he stepped in the communities since Rick died. Daryl decided to tell Connie why he left.
Suddenly he hears a knock on his door. Daryl heart started to beat fast when he saw it was Connie. Daryl invited her in telling her he wants to tell her something. Connie nodded and sat down next to Daryl.
"I´m so sorry I left like that. Rick… He was my brother. I just wanted to find him after. I-" Daryl said until his voice broke. He couldn´t continue. Connie starts to write and shows Daryl the note "I´m so sorry for your loss"
Daryl looked at Connie who also had tears in her eyes. "I never found him. He can´t be dead. Not him." Daryl says eventually. Connie puts her hands on Daryl cheecks trying to comfort him. Daryl caressed her hands with his.
"I´m sorry I-"
But before Daryl could finish Connie shook her head. She knew how close Daryl was with Rick. If she lost Kelly like that she would probably do the same.
Connie was still holding her hands on Daryl´s cheeks and Daryl was still caressing her hands. Suddenly Daryl heard Dog coming upstairs. As Dog entered Daryl´s room Daryl got up and rushed to hug is old friend. Dog licked his face.
"Good to see you too" Daryl says.
Connie wished their moment lasted longer but she was happy to see Daryl with Dog again. She smiled for the first for a long time.
The next morning Daryl decided to tell Connie how he felt. He couldn´t wait any longer. Not after last evening.
Daryl saw Connie talking with Kelly. Daryl walked toward them and waved at them as he saw them looking at him. They waved back and Connie was smiling to see him. Kelly saw this and raised her eyebrows.
"Can we talk?" Daryl asks her"
Connie nods and Kelly raises her eyebrows again and leaves Connie with Daryl. Daryl looked around to see if anyone was looking at them but he didn´t see anyone.
"There something I need to tell you" Daryl started.
"I wanted to tell you this last evening. This is the first time ever I have these kind of feelings for anyone. I was just scared that you wouldn´t feel-"
Before Daryl could finish Connie interrupted him by kissing him on the lips. Daryl was stunned. He couldn´t believe what just happened.
Connie then showed him the note "I love you too"
Daryl finally kissed her back and the kiss was long and passionate. They both could feel the emotion behind each other´s kiss.
That´s when Daryl knew that telling her was one of the best decisions he ever made, maybe even the best.
There was still a lot of about him that Connie didn´t know. She hadn´t seen his scars. She didn´t know his father was the one caused them all expect the one he got when he was looking for Judith.
Couple weeks passed by and they have had a lot of time together. Daryl still hadn´t told her about the scars but he was trying to learn sign language in secret. He wanted to communicate with her better
Meanwhile Michonne was giving birth for her and Rick´s child. It was a boy. Michonne hugged her baby and had tears in her eyes. He remind her of Rick a lot. He had blue eyes just like his father. She decided to name him after Rick. She would call him RJ.
Later Daryl and Connie came to visit her and RJ. Daryl took his nephew in arms and hugged him. "You look just like your father."
Connie gives Michonne a note"He´s beautiful"
"Thank you" Michonne signs.
Connie was surprised to see her sign but Michonne told her that she didn´t know much else now. Daryl then gives RJ to Connie who hugs him and holds him for a while before giving him back to Michonne.
Michonne was surprised to see how Daryl acted around and Connie and eventually asks "Are you two together?"
This catches Daryl and Connie off guard but Connie smiles and nods. Michonne looks at Daryl and then says "I´m happy for you, both of you"
"You know that this makes you his aunt" Michonne tells Connie. Connie was happy to hear that from Michonne and the two share a hug.
Connie always wanted to havea child of her own. Daryl was the first man she thought she could have a child with.
Later in the evening after Daryl took a shower. Connie walks in and sees the scars on Daryl´s back. She notices the scars are old except one. She was shocked. Daryl noticed and realized it was the time to tell her.
"I´ve never told this to anyone. Those scars on my back. It was my father. He was an asshole. He used to beat me up a lot when I was 10 years old"
Connie´s hand were shaking when she began to write "I´m sorry that happened to you."
Daryl took her in his arms and they started to make out. Daryl knew it was time to go forward with this relationship. He had never sex before but now it was time for it. Daryl let Connie be in charge in bed and Connie was happy about that. Daryl felt better than ever. Feeling Connie´s beautiful warm body next to him. He was exhausted after the sex but it felt so good. He could see Connie felt the same. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed many times before falling asleep.
Next morning at the breakfast table Kelly noticed that something different with Daryl and Connie so she asked "How was the sex?"
Daryl and Connie but blushed and look at each other with a suggestive smile.
"Oh, I understand" Kelly said teasing the new couple.
"I´m happy for you" Kelly says. Daryl and Connie both thank her.
Meanwhile panicked Aaron and Jesus make it back to Hilltop from their supply run. They reveal that they heard the walkers were whispering to each other. The other couldn´t believe what they just heard but they look on Aaron and Jesus´face told it all.
There was a big debate wheter the walkers were evolving or they were people. They radioed Alexandria and the Kingdom about the new possible threat. The fair was coming very soon and everyone wanted to be sure it would be safe for everyone
