You and Me (Daryl Dixon x Reader {Ricks Sister})

Chapter 29 - Born

It's been a few days since Hershel woke up. A couple people, Rick, Daryl, Carol, and T-Dog, we're moving the cars inside of the yard. I woke up early, and so I was inside helping organize our supplies.

We have so much food, ammunition. This food could probably last us until the end of the year, but I knew we would have to go for a run here soon. Lori is bound to pop, any day now, and we don't have anything for the baby.

I got done earlier than expected, and decided I could go outside and help. I got outside just as Rick said that we would need to gather up the corpses to burn them.

"It's gonna be a long day." T-Dog sighed.

"Glad you could join us, y/n." Carol smiled at me.

"Got done with the organization, figured y'all could use my help." I nodded to her. "Speaking of, where are Glenn and Maggie? We could use a few extra hands." I looked around.

"Up in the guard tower." Daryl pointed up.

"Guard tower? They were just up there last night." Rick looked over at Daryl.

I glanced at Daryl, then to Rick. "uh ohh-" I said in a sing-song tone.

Daryl smirked, shaking his head, before he called up, "GLENN! MAGGIE!"

The door at the top opened, and we saw Glenn peaking his head out, shirtless and fixing his pants.

"Hey, what's up, guys?" Glenn called down to us.

I turned my head as I laughed a bit. All 5 of us were laughing as we saw them.

"You coming?" Daryl asked as he smiled, his hands on his hips.

"What?!" Glenn called back down.

We all laughed a little more, before Daryl called up again, "you comin'?"

Glenn turned and spoke to Maggie.

"Daryl, sweetie, I don't think he gets what your saying." I said as I turned around laughing silently.

He shook his head, "come on! We could use a hand." Daryl called up.

"Yeah, W-we'll be right down." Glenn yelled back down at us.

Daryl turned and saw me laughing, "you coming." I said jokingly, making Carol and Rick laugh as the 4 of us walked off to get the rest of the vehicles.

"Hey Rick," T-Dog called, looking up towards the fence by the prison, where we saw the two prisoners. Daryl had told me what happened to the other 3, and how there was only 2 left.

We all followed Rick up to them.

"That's close enough." Rick said as we neared them. "We had an agreement." Rick spat.

"Please, mister. We know that," the lanky red head said in a heavier accent, "we made a deal. But you gotta understand... We can't live in that place another minute. You follow me? All the bodies- people we knew. Blood, brains everywhere. There's ghosts."

"Why don't you move the bodies out?" Daryl asked him.

T spoke up, "you should be burning them."

"We tried.." The redhead spoke up again, "we did.."

The black man next to him spoke up, "the fence is down on the far side of the prison. Every time we drag a body out, those things just line up. Dropping the body and just running back inside." He explained to us in a cool tone.

"Look, we had nothing to do with Thomas and Andrew. Nothin. You tryna prove a point? You proved it, bro." The lankier man said. "We'll do whatever it takes to be part of your group. Just please, please... Don't make us live in that place."
