Secrets Untold. (Maggie x fem!reader)

Chapter 65: Council

Shortly after Maggie and I finished our talk, everyone else came back from sweeping the grounds for any more of the Governor's men.

I turned to them as they approached and whilst I did so, Maggie ripped off a piece of her shirt and began to tie it tightly around my bullet wound.

I winced a little as Maggie tightened the cloth around my arm.
"Any more of them?" I asked.
Rick shook his head.
"Luckily, no. But we still have problems."
I hissed a little as I felt the bullet dig into my skin.
"Maggie-"
"Let that be a lesson to you. Don't be so reckless next time." She huffed.
I grumbled and looked back to everyone else.
"I'm guessing our problem is Woodbury, right?"
Rick nodded and rested his hand on his holster.
"His men won't be too happy that we killed him, they'll strike back."
Daryl shrugged.
"We'll just kill them first then."
Glenn looked at us, horrified.
"We can't do that!"
Maggie finished with my arm and looked to the others.
"Why can't we just leave them? The Governor was the problem and he's dead. There's no saying they'll come after us."
"You're forgetting Merle, Mags. He's the real problem." I said.
Daryl frowned and shook his head.
"Merle's...he's been in an' outta there fer a while. He ain't a threat."
"Daryl...he tortured us. And you two have been meeting?" I asked.
Daryl frowned and looked away.
Rick sighed and shook his head.
"Let's discuss all this inside."
He then looked to Daryl.
"And you, can tell me what you've been doing with Merle without my knowledge."

After that, our little discussion soon ended and Maggie took me back inside to get me patched up. Lately, whenever I got hurt, she insisted she patch me up herself, so both she and Winter have been learning from Hershel.

Once we walked through the block's door, Winter immediately pounced on us, giving us both a big hug wich we both returned. However, once she pulled away, she noticed my arm and the many grazes on my skin, which made her frown.

She pulled out her little notepad and began to write.
"You said you'd be careful."
I smiled and patted her head.
"I was. I'm in one piece, aren't I?"
Maggie crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"You were reckless."
I grinned at her.
"But I'm alive!"
She sighed and shook her head.
She was about to say something, but before she could, Winter stomped on my toes.
"Winnie!" I cried.
She huffed at me, Maggie making snort.
"You got hurt! I said don't do that!"
"Winnie.."
"No! Bad mama!"
"But Winnie, I was protecting you and mama! I couldn't help it! Accidents happen sometimes!"
"No excuses!"
"But.."
"No!"
Maggie was chuckling beside me and I frowned at her.
"She's learning from you..."
"Good. That means she won't learn from you."
I gasped dramatically.
"What's wrong with learning from me!?"
Maggie crossed her arms and raised a brow.
"The first thing you taught her was to kick men in the balls."
I sniggered as I remembered it, and Maggie raised a brow.
"It's a survival skill!" I argued.
"She was kicking, Carl!"
"Well..that's not my fault..."

She gave me a stern look, so I looked away and clapped my hands, changing the subject before I got scolded any further.
"Well, my arm hurts so I'm going to-"
Maggie grabbed my arm and dragged me to our cell, Winter following behind her.
"Oh no, I'm patching you up."
"But you're ruff!"
"Serves you right."
Winter nodded along with her.
"Now I've got a bossy wife and kid..."
Maggie chuckled and intertwined our fingers.
"You still love us though."
I grumbled and followed after her.
"You're lucky you're both cute.."

Whilst Maggie patched me up, both she and Winter made sure to nag me whilst I couldn't escape. Winter really was like a mini Maggie, it was kind of cute, well, until I found myself at the receiving end of her bossiness...and nagging...and scolding...
