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

Chapter 42 - Safe

We arrived at the prison late at night, jumping out of the car, seeing Rick standing by the Passenger side.

"Sasha, how's Sasha?" Tyreese asked.

"I don't know. I'm sorry." He shook his head.

"Get in there, we got this." I said, nodding to Tyreese as he ran into the prison.

We grabbed all the bags with the med supplies and ran into the prison. Once we gave Hershel and Bob the meds, me and Daryl stepped away into our room.

"Y/n, we need to talk." Daryl said in a hushed tone.

"Yeah, we do." I nodded.

"Hershel says you might be pregnant." Daryl whispered.

"He told you?" I asked, before I sighed, "I'm not." I shook my head, "I can't be. Not now."

"That's not how this works. We need to know as soon as possible." He said gently.

"Well that's gonna have to be how it works." I huffed. "Daryl, with what all's been going on I cannot be pregnant, I cannot be a liability."

"Ya ain't gonna be a liability. But I think-"

"Daryl I am not pregnant!" I said desperately. "Just.. Just wait, a bit longer."

"I wanna know as soon as possible, so that we know the best way to go about this."

I sighed, taking a deep breath and running my hands over my face. "Fine. I'll make a quick run to one of the pharmacies here sometime soon." I layed down on the bed with him, "but for now? I just wanna lay with you. Get some rest. We were out there for about 2 days. "

He sighed, "Hershel said-"

"Yeah I know but we've got meds now. If either one of us starts coughing we will be alright." I kissed him gently. "Now get some sleep."

The next day, I saw Maggie carrying some water inside. "Hey! How Glenn, is he ok?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Yes, you guys got here just in time, Glenn will be just fine." She smiled, and hugged me. "Thank you." She said quietly as she pulled away.

I smiled at her, "of course." I looked around, "hey Mags, you think that in the pharmacy close by they'd have anything like.. Tests and Pregnancy vitamins or, ya know, the other option?"

"Your pregnant?" She asked a bit loudly, and I shushed her.

"I don't know yet. But maybe." I nodded.

She looked behind her, "god I.. I dunno, maybe? Want me to come with you?"

"No, no you need to stay with Glenn" I shook my head. "I'll go another time, not today but, just didn't know if you knew."

She nodded, "alright well, I gotta get this to Glenn." She said, holding up some water.

"Alright, I'm gonna go and, hell I dunno,find Beth and Judith I guess." I smiled.

"Last I saw them they were in C, but I don't know now." She told me, before walking off.

I headed to Cell block C, and I did find Beth and Judith. "Hey girls." I smiled, sitting down by them. "I hope she wasn't too much trouble, you care for her a lot."

Beth smiled at me, "oh, no, no trouble at all. She's really the sweetest thing."

I nodded, "she is, isn't she."

Beth looked up at me, "can I ask you something?"

"Anything, go right ahead." I nodded.

"So.. You used to be a teacher, middle school 6th grade teacher, before all of this, right?" I nodded, and she continued, "so why don't you teach these kids?" Beth asked.

I sigh, "well, Carol's been taking care of that, plus I need to be out there. I can't stand to sit still for too long."

She nodded, "what was your favorite part about teaching?" She asked.

"That's a tough one." I nodded, "I guess I had a few things, the students being able to trust you, playing fun games with the students, meeting all sorts of people, playing music for them, all that jazz."

"What sort of music did you play?"

"I would put on a lot of Jack Johnson," I told her. "Banana Pancakes had to be my favorite song to play for them." I smiled at her.

She nodded, "I don't think I've ever heard of it. Sing it for me?"

"Oh, Beth, honey," I shook my head, "sorry sweetie but, I- really- I can't sing." I sighed.

"I'm sure you could." She says, watching me. "Here, take Judith. Could help you calm your nerves a bit." She said, passing me the baby.

I looked at the little girl in my arms, she was growing fast, already able to crawl.

I smiled, "hey little ass-kicker." I smiled. "I don't know Beth, I've always hated singing."

She watched me for a bit, but nodded, "don't worry, I understand." She watched me bounce Judith on my knee.

Eventually I looked down at her, "how have you been holding up, kid?"

She sighed, and shrugged, "as good as I can. We have to keep pushing foreword these days. We lose people everyday, we can't be sad when it happens anymore." She sighs. "And you, are you ok?"

I shrugged, "same as you I guess. I have to be ok." She nodded, and then I handed Judith back to her. "Alright, I'm gonna go see if anyone needs my help, moving bodies, tending to the farm, fetching water, yada yada yada." I smiled at her. "Your a tough kid, you know?"

She nodded, "yeah, I know."

I found Daryl, him and Ty had left for a little bit, I'm not too sure why, but they were back now.

"Hey, did you find out how Glenn is?" Tyreese asked me.

"Yeah, Maggie said he was going to be just fine. Her and Bob are up with him right now I believe." I nodded.

"Mhm, he's good enough to breathe on his own now thanks to you. He seems stable enough for me to get some air." Hershel said as he came up behind me.

"He's a tough son of a bitch." Daryl nodded, then Tyreese walked away.

"He is." Hershel said.

Daryl nodded while he looked at him, "your a tough son of a bitch." Daryl said to him.

"I am." Hershel nodded.

"Hey I've been searching left and right, where's Carol?" I asked.

"Yeah, is she up in A block with Lizzy?" Daryl asked beside me.

"No. Talk to Rick about her." Hershel said, before walking away.

I looked up at Daryl, "do you think she's.."

"No, she can't be." He shook his head.

"She's ok, just talk to him." Hershel said.

Me and Daryl sighed, then walked out to find Rick.

Rick told us how Carol was the one who killed Karen and David, how he didn't want her around for a while, how she left. How he made her leave.

We thought this was awful.

Things were about to get a whole hell of a lot worse.

And there was nothing we could do.
