Stabbing and the usual TWD gory stuff

Daryl obviously didn't trust these men; certainly not with his wife and newborn baby nearby. They were currently in a warehouse; Daryl had his family sleeping furthest away from the group, making sure that he didn't have his back to the men, Florence stared at Daryl as he covered her chest as she breastfed Evelyn, after finishing he handed their baby the stuffed elephant and sat with them as he surveyed the other men. 

"I need to nap." She whispered; he nodded, letting her lie down, Evelyn lay beside her and the two girls fell asleep swiftly. Daryl hated to know she was alone for however long it was; he couldn't imagine that it was good considering she had recently given birth. 

Despite the ordeal that happened about the rabbit corpse; Florence and Evelyn finally got at least some well-needed rest that she had been craving for a while. Daryl sat beside Florence's sleeping form; he held Evelyn in his arms, smiling as the little baby held the elephant in her hands, raising it to her mouth to bite on the head, staring deep into Daryl's soul with that intense baby stare. 

His eyes turned to Florence who was currently in the process of waking up; she rubbed her eyes, a brief moment of peace on her face before everything came rushing back to her. Daryl handed the baby over, who clung to Florence like a koala, making another cute baby sound before snuggling against her chest. 

"Are we moving soon?" Daryl nodded, pointing to their already packed stuff, Daryl handed her some post-natal vitamins. Her eyes lit up, surprised to see such things, he sent her a wink and made sure she got them into her system. 

The group started moving; Florence was at the back, trailing behind Daryl as the men followed a trail that the married couple had yet to realise. The sky was growing darker; Florence did what she had to do in a motherly way for Evelyn - such as changing her diaper and breastfeeding her. Daryl was clearly getting more and more cautious around these men, mainly when Florence had to stop which then stopped the men. He could tell that some of these men wanted to kill Evelyn, she was after all the reason for them to be slowing down. 

Joe led them to a campsite; three familiar faces were nearby, it was a relief for the two who knew them only they couldn't show their joy. Florence listened to Daryl try to reason with Joe, to spare their friends' lives, Florence cried out on instinct as Joe ordered his men to beat Daryl to death, one moved in on her with his gun raised and his eyes trailing down on her baby. The man had her backed into a tree, his gun lowered and a vile smirk on his lips. 

Remembering their journey to this moment, the brunette remembered what Daryl gave her, she took the moment of all the men being distracted by Rick's shocking moves and yanked the knife from the back of her pants and stabbed the man in his groin. Florence raised a foot, kicking him in the face as he was down on his knees, the knife in her hand making its' way through the man's ears as a final attack move.  

The chaos around her made her heart fill with panic; she lowered to the ground, her eyes filled with tears due to being overwhelmed by the gunshots and the survival instincts that Rick displayed for his family. Florence was clutching onto Evelyn; obviously not too tightly, just enough to give herself some form of comfort against the fear she was currently feeling and give her daughter some form of support. 

Daryl moved to his wife, he pulled her up, pulling her into his chest to ease her shaking form and got her into the van with Carl and Michonne. Daryl gave Florence her spear back, and stayed close to her, making sure she was okay and dealing alright... which he knew she couldn't possibly be considering everything that happened. 

They moved into the woods; staying quiet as they got closer to Terminus, they approached a fence, peering into the grounds to make sure everything was okay. Rick got them to split up; Daryl had Florence with her, and he wouldn't leave her alone unless it was necessary or until she was okay to be left alone again.

"Are you gonna go in?" Daryl asked, noticing the look she had in her eyes, the hesitation she had near the fence and could see the look she had in her eyes. 

"I don't want to be alone, without you again, but I don't want to put my trust in people anymore... people I don't know." Daryl grabbed her face carefully, rested a kiss on her forehead, staring into her eyes to try and offer some form of much-needed comfort. 

"Can you hold Evie for a moment? Just in case? Please?" Daryl froze for a moment; nodding and took Evelyn into his arms, he smiled at Florence as Evelyn nearly made a giggle-like sound. 

"You're a cute little baby, yes you are." He cooed, which only made Florence smile at his actions and the fatherly instinct that made her love him even more than she already did. Daryl hugged Florence and Evelyn, having a family hug now, just in case everything went to shit. 

"I'm scared, you know? Sometimes I feel like I'm not cut out for this world." Florence confessed, Daryl stared at her, knowing that it wasn't true and that he didn't want her to be thinking like that. Daryl wouldn't lose her- not to her inner insecure thoughts and the fear she had lurking inside her. 

"That ain't true and you know it, Flo. You're scared because you've got our little lightning bug with you and you've only recently given birth. Your hormones are all over the place, don't be thinking like you ain't cut for this shitstorm." 

Florence nodded, taking a breath, offering a smile as Daryl leant in to rest another kiss on her forehead. Daryl knew he had to say it, he had to let her know, just in case they didn't make it this time. 

"I love you, Florence... I love both you and Evelyn." 

"We love you too Daryl."
