From Now On (Daryl Dixon Love Story)

Much Obliged

I had tears running down my face as the governor pushed the barrel of his revolver harder against my stomach. Daryl fell to his knees and I could only imagine what he could be thinking.

The governor smirked as he knew he had Daryl and I in a very vulnerable state. "You want to tell me where your camp is now?" the governor chuckled knowing he had won this interrogation.

"You're pregnant?" Daryl whispered in disbelief just loud enough for us to hear. I slightly nod my head since the governor still has a tight grip on my throat.

"She's a beauty, your wife. Even with all these marks on her body, I'd still have her," the governor said just before licking my cheek. I closed my eyes as more tears poured out. I just want this to end.

"Let go of her!" Daryl snarled and the governor's smile grew even wider, "Maybe I will if you give up the location of your camp. But then again, I might keep her and help her raise your child." This man was sick, disturbing, and psychotic.

Daryl quickly stood up and took a large step towards me. "tsk tsk tsk," the governor disapproved of Dary's actions and cocked the hammer on his revolver. My whole body was shaking in fear that all the governor had to do was pull the trigger, and then my life and the baby's would be over.

"We're at a prison, not far from here," Daryl choked out with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Much obliged," the psycho said pushing me in Dary's direction. I immediately threw my arms around him and broke down crying. We both fell to the ground hugging each other. Daryl held me with all his strength, scared to let me go, but also so gentle to not hurt me.

We heard a loud bang and looked up to see the back door slam shut. The governor made a quick getaway in case we tried to come after him. Vengeance was the last thing on my mind right now. All I was focused on was being in my husband's arms. Safe and sound.

After a couple of minutes, we pulled away and he held my face in his hands, "Did he hurt you? Please tell me he didn't... I will murder him the second I-" Daryl said getting all fired up.

"Honey, I'm okay. He pushed me around a bit, but that was it. More mind games than anything. One creepy son of a bitch. Just really freaked me out at the end of that 'interrogation'," I said trying to calm my man down.

He was silent for a moment and his eyes lowered from my face to my midsection. He placed his hand on my stomach and a slight smirk appeared on his face, "You're pregnant."

"Yeah, I uh think we covered that," I chuckled smiling at him hoping that he would be happy.

"I just can't believe it. I mean I can because we never used protection, but I never thought I would be a dad," he laughed lightly before staring back into my watery eyes. "Everything is going to be okay sweetheart. You're safe. The baby's safe. We have so many loving friends to take care of you and the baby. You have no idea how happy this makes me. Holding little asskicker back at the prison really made me wish I was a father. I guess my wish is coming true," Daryl said kissing my forehead and wiping the fresh tears from my eyes. These fresh tears were all happy tears. Knowing that Daryl wanted this baby made my anxiety and fears go away.

"I love you and little Dixon," he said kissing me with so much passion. All of the emotions were poured into that kiss. I pulled away for a quick second, "I love you too so much," kissing him harder than before.

He pulled away, "I promise to protect you and the baby. I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you and protect you. I should have been there. I should have gone on that run with you and not Maggie. I could have stopped the person who kidnapped you. I-"
