Two Opposites | Daryl Dixon

Chapter 32: It's Raining Walkers

It's been six months since the prison and Woodbury combined and the prison is doing well. After the incidents with the Governor both of the communities came together and fortified the prison, there were even farms and animals in the field. The farm wasn't perfect yet but Hershel was helping Rick work on it everyday to make sure it will turn out good for the group.

Alexis held Judith in her arms as she made her way out to the courtyard. Judith was much bigger now, so Alexis has her propped against her shoulder the little girls head looking at people over Alexis's shoulder.

They cleared out more cellblocks and areas in the prison now that they had more people to help with that. Alexis paused and watched a few of the kids from Woodbury run around, there was the two sisters Lizzie and Mika they were both very sweet but Alexis thought Lizzie was a little weird sometimes. One of the youngest boys Luke followed behind them, Alexis didn't talk to him much because he found her intimidating for some reason. The other kid that was there was Patrick, he was a good kid and for some reason he treated Daryl like a celebrity every time he came back from a hunt, actually now that Alexis thought about it Daryl has become popular with a lot of people around here but Patrick is his number one fan.

Alexis said hello to the children and they all smiled back before running toward the prisons main doors, Patrick spotting Daryl and running toward him. Alexis grinned at the boy as he made his way up to his superstar and Carol who was making food. She watched from a far as Carol called Patrick over and he immediately stepped in and looked up at Daryl. Alexis couldn't hear what they were saying but she watched as the boy put out his hand for Daryl to shake. Daryl looked down at the boy and back at his own hand before licking his fingers clean of the food and shaking Patricks hand. The young boy didn't even care that Daryl licked his fingers because when the two shook hands Patricks face was all grin. Daryl smirked at the boy before walking away with Carol.

"Hey Alexis!" a voice called from behind, she turned and saw one of her favorite kids walking toward her.

"Ethan!" She yelled back as the boy latched onto her leg, his mother  Trisha following behind him with a smile.

"Good Morning Alexis." Trisha said collecting her son from Alexis's legs.

"Good Morning." Alexis replied, smiling at the two.

Ethan was only seven years old,  Alexis would watch him sometimes while Trisha took care of the dishes and other things during food time. "Ethan wanted to see you before he went off to study session."

"Oh boy, what are you learning this week?" Alexis asked the little boy.

"I'm learning about plants!" He yelled, making his mother laugh.

"We're teaching him about the safe kind of berries or other eatable plants." Trisha translated.

Alexis smiled, "Well I won't keep him from learning."

She smiled once more at the boy before giving him a kiss on the forehead causing him to go into a giggle feast, Judith slightly catching the giggle like virus as Judith smiled slightly at Trisha who carried Ethan towards the prison, the little boy giving Alexis a wave as he went.

"Hey." Daryl said walking up and kissing her on the cheek. "We're leaving on the run soon. You still want to tag along?" He asked.

"Yeah, someone's gonna have to watch this little one." Alexis said, smiling down at Judith while poking at her face. "Plus it was the run or  Carol asked me to help out with story time, whatever the hell that is." Alexis said making Daryl smile.

"You could read some one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish to the kids." Daryl stated making Alexis glare at him. "Or not." He finished raising his hands in defense.
