Baby Grimes - the walking dead fan fiction (season three)

Chapter Four

It was the next day, and Addy was actully feeling a little better after a good night sleep. She was currently hoping around the table that some of the adults were stand around after they had gotten back from the armory. She spots one of the things she always sees he daddy playing with siting on the edge of the table and goes right for it but right before she can get her hands on it she feels herself being lifted off the ground quickly. A small laugh coming from behind her that she instantly recognised as her daddy's.

Rick shook his head at the others as they kept unpack everything they had found "what is with you and guns, huh bub? The minute you see one, you be line for it. I think we're all gonna have to be a little bit more careful with them." The guys all nod as rick readjust his hold on her so that he can hold and he still look at what they had collected.

Daryl says "not bad." Rick nodded "flash bangs, CS triple-chasers. Not sure how they work on walkers but we'll take'em." As he says this Addy reaches for one of the weapons rick was holding in his hands but he was holding it out of her reach.

Even when she started coughing again, she didn't give up on trying to get what he was holding but Rick quickly put it down to pat her back, trying to help the coughing pass. Daryl smirked "persistent little bugger ain't she." This causes the guys to laugh at how true that was.

Daryl then picked up a helmet but it was still covered in walked rot "I ain't wearing this shit." Addy gave a soft gasp at Daryl saying a naughty word. Daryl winked at her as t-dog picked up a glove "we could boil them." As guts started to poor out of the glove, rick quickly turning addy's head so she didn't see that part.

Daryl shook his head "ain't enough firewood in the forest. No. Besides we made it this far without them." He said as he picked up a Baton and pretended to swing it, getting a sense of how it felt.

As everyone was watching him, rick hadn't payed enough attention to what he was holding and Addy had managed to get her little hands on the taser he had in his hand. After fiddling with it for a second she found a button and didn't hesitate to push it causing the electrical part to go off.

The guys all jumped for a second, Rick quickly getting it out of her grip. But the others couldn't contain their own laughter since the second it went off, Addy had been giggling her head off.

Rick and Hershel shared a look and a small smirk before being interrupted by Carol "Hershel" she said while signalling with her head for him to follow. Rick may not be close to Lori right now but he still needed to know what was going on "everything alright?"

Carol looked at him for a second before replying "yeah... nothing to worry about." Then she exited with Hershel following. Rick watched them leave, still not 100% sure she was telling the truth but his thoughts were quickly changed when addy tried for the taser again "wow, no no no. Baby I said no touching. I swear at some point I'm gonna walk in to find you've tazed yourself."

Rick sighed but both t-dog and Daryl laughed at the comment while shaking there heads. Addy just laughed because the grown ups were laughing. Rick soon followed before kissed her cheek and getting back to helping the guys check everything over.

...

Addy is stand by ricks leg as everyone is gearing up by the door. She looks at the gun on ricks belt and reaches but Daryl is quick to grab her hand while smirking. "Rick" Rick looks at him then down at Addy who was still looking at his gun. Rick shakes his head "seriously..... we need to find her some toys soon." Carl laughed "agreed."

Rick looked at Carl to see him putting one of the helmets on his head. Rick sighed knowing he won't be happy in a second. Rick trapped the helmet "you won't need that. I need you to stay put." Carl gets annoyed straight away "your kidding."

Rick shock his head as he tried to keep his focus on Carl while also feeling the tug on his gun. Without even looking at her he grabs her hands and playfully swings her to stand between him and Carl "we don't know what's in there. If something goes wrong, you could be the last man standing. I need you to handle things here."

Carl realised his job was actully really important. "Sure" he nodded while looked at his dad. Rick handed over a set of keys to Carl "great, let's go." They all head for the door, Addy attempting to be like her daddy and marched after him only to be turned around by rick as he stepped through the door "nope, not you. You have to stay here and help Carl. He's got a really important job, your's is to stay right here with him."

Addy didn't like this and looked at him with wobbling lips. Rick sighed but he wasn't budging "sorry baby." Carl quickly closed the door before she could run through. Nodded to his dad that he had it handled.

Addy turned and smacked him in frustration. Carol quickly caught her hand Could do it again "hey hey. No hitting. You don't want me to tell you dad you were naughty while he was gone, do you?" Addy didn't say anything back but poured. She was a good girl, not a bad girl.

Carl smiled gently at Carol before taking addy's hand "you with me? We have import work to do." At this addy's attention was completely changed to a new task. Helping Carl do Carl work.

It didn't take long for her to get bored of helping him so she started hopping up and down the length of the jail again. Carl shook his head, he wasn't sure how she found that entertaining but she did.

When that got boring, Carl started throwing his hat and getting her to 'fetch it' Beth shook her head at him "she's your sister, not a dog." Carl smirked "it doesn't matter, it's keeping her entertained. Would you rather she think about 'D A D' not being here and crying her head off till she makes her self sick? No? Didn't think so."

The way he spoke was a bit rude but he didn't care. He really didn't want to deal with her crying right now, if she cried he may not be able to hear the others if they came back or needed help. Plus he was right. She was enjoying herself. Every time he through, she would giggle her head off and race after it and every time she brought it back she would say 'siwy' while patting it and putting it on his lap. He knew she was trying to say silly because he kept pretending to accidentally through it. At least she was distracted.
