"Dani!" I hear Daryl yell from downstairs. I finish putting my ear rings in before walking downstairs.
"Yes, Dearest Daryl?" I wink and stand by Merle. I lean into Merle's side making him grunt from the sudden weight add on but puts his arm around my shoulders.
"You ready?" He asks. Daryl volunteered to take me to the doctor for my check-up. Today I'm going to find out the gender of my baby. To say I'm excited is an understatement.
"Yep." I smile and turn to Merle. "You sure you don't want to come?" I ask him.
"I'm sure. I don't like doctors." He grumbles.
"You don't like anyone." I tease.
"I like you and our brother, don't I?" He smiles. I smile back and walk over to Daryl.
"He likes me better though." I brag. Merle shakes his head.
"Time to go, Dani." Daryl says. I nod and say bye to Merle before following Daryl to his truck. I buckle up at wait to arrive at the doctors office.
When we get to the doctors office, it takes about five minutes for me to be called. Daryl follows behind me to the room and I'm instructed by the nurse to lay down. She puts the gel crap on my stomach and begins the ultra-sound.
"Okay." She smiles and looks at me and Daryl. "You want to know?"
"Yeah." I say, smiling like an idiot. Daryl chuckles at me and leans against the wall.
"You're having a baby boy." The nurse tells me. My eyes light up. I'm having a boy. I turn to Daryl and he smiles at me.

"It's a boy, isn't it?" Merle asks when we all sit down in the living room.
"Yeah, Merle. It's a boy." I smile.
"Name him James." He says and takes a drink of the beer in his hands.
"I like Lyndon." I tell him.
"How about both? Lyndon James?" Daryl speaks up.
"And since the father is no longer involved, his last name will be Dixon?" Merle asks me.
"Lyndon James Dixon is perfect." I smile and lay down on the couch, putting my head in Daryl's lap and my legs in Merle's lap. It's perfect.
"Wake up." I hear. I groan and open my eyes. I see Patrick standing over me.
"What?" I ask.
"Matthew wants you in his house. Now. Come on." Patrick says and grips my arms. He pulls me up and forces me to follow him. His grip on my arms are tight and is no doubt cutting off circulation. These guys remind me of Austin and I don't like it.
"What does he need me for?" I ask Patrick. He seems like the less....violent one of the four men who I assume is the main men or the leaders of the neighborhood.
"Giving you ground rules." He says making me nod even though he can't see me. Patrick motions towards a two story brick house that looks really nice. "He'll be in the living room." Patrick instructs. I nod and take a deep breath before walking up the steps to the porch. I put my hand on the door knob and sigh before opening the door and stepping inside.
"Danielle, my dear." Matthew smiles. I see Frank sitting in the living room too. I internally panic.
"Good morning, princess." Frank winks. I force a smile to both of them and sit down on the couch.
