My Little Girl 2 // alternative story

Chapter 1

Daryl's POV

"Are ye' almost done baby?" I shout at Peyton as I reach her room. We were finally leaving this bitch Ashley's house and I couldn't be happier.

I had my packed bags at my side as I reached Peyton's room. She was a slow packer so I'm assuming she's still on her first bag. "No help me daddy" she says as I enter her room.

She was sitting on the floor trying to fold each shirt perfectly, which was far from.

"Don' do tha' stupid shit just throw and go" I mumble grabbing her clothes and shoving them into her bag.

"Ok daddy" she giggles and gets another bag and does exactly what I'm doing, shoving shit in.

"Like this?" She asks looking up at me.

"Perfect" I mumble and carry her bags downstairs next to mine. We get another one for all her toys and after an hour we were done packing.

"Ready to go princess?" I ask Peyton who was sitting on the couch watching spongebob.

She looks over at me and smiles before running over to me. "Yes daddy!"

"Alright put yer shoes on while I take this out to the truck" I say referring to all our bags.

Peyton nods and plops on the ground with her small pink sneakers.

I take the bags out and throw them in the back of my truck and start the truck up, letting it cool down from the hot summer heat.

When I got back inside I find Peyton throwing her shoe at the wall angrily. "Hey hey wha's wrong?" I ask walking up to her and squatting down so I'm her height.

Peyton crosses her arms and glares at the shoe now lying on the floor. "It won't tie daddy!" She growls.

I chuckle and she looks at me. "It's not funny!" She snaps at me.

"C'mere" I say and pull her towards me, grabbing her shoes along the way. "Sit" I instruct and she sits, her arms still crossed.

I put her shoe on her foot and look up at her. "Look it's loop" I say looping the laces together "swoop... And pull" I say and tighten the laces.

"Loop swoop pull?" She questions.

"Yep" I nod and hand her her other shoe. "Ye' try"

She puts the shoe on and fumbles with the laces "loop" she mumbles while doing what I showed her. "Swoop and pull" she says finishing the tie.

"Looky daddy i did it! I did it!" She cheers.

I give her a high five and pick her up, carrying her to the truck. "Are you proud of me daddy?" She asks looking at me.

I kiss her forehead as I place her into her car seat. "Very" I smile at her and shut the door, walking to the drivers side and hopping in.

"Can we keep Astro at the new house?" I hear Peyton ask.

"Sure can sweetheart." I say and she cheers happily.

I love it when she's happy. It makes me happy.

"Daddy I'm hungry" Peyton whines from the back.

"Ye' ate like 2 hours ago" I groan. I swear she has the appetite of a 30 year old man.

"Silly daddy that was so long ago!" She giggles.

"Well yer gonna have to wait till we unpack everything" I tell her.

"But daddy I'm hungry now!" She complains, I can hear the disappointment in her voice.

"Sorry"

"Please daddy!" She cries. "Please I'm so hungry daddy I'm gonna die!"

I chuckle and look at her through the rear view mirror. "I think ye' will live"

She pouts and crosses her arms, making a 'Hmph' sound.

"I love ye' baby" I smile at her cuteness.

"Don't talk to me unless you have food" she grumbles.

I roll my eyes and continue to drive to our new house.

It's about a 30 minute drive from Ashely's house. There's no way in hell she'll ever find it because it's in the middle of no where like our old house.

This one is only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom but that's alright because it's just me and little 6 year old that practically sleeps on my chest every night and is clung to my side anyways. It's in this town called Macon. There's a school bus that comes by so when Peyton goes to school that'll be good.

After about 10 more minutes well pull into the long dirt driveway leading to the small brick house. I notice Merle's bike parked outside and him sitting on it, waiting for me.

He said he'd help me unpack if I paid him $20 so I agreed. I knew he needed the money but was too stubborn to ask so instead he offered to help. I'm not as dumb as some people think.

"We're here" I say and look over my shoulder to see Peyton sound asleep in her car seat. I smile and leave the truck running as I get out, heading over to Merle.

"Bout time ye' got here little brother" he says getting off his bike, slapping my shoulder.

"Ya hey let's set up my bed real fast so I can put Peyton in it.. She passed out on the ride here" I tell him and he nods, following me inside. I had already had a mattress and bed set waiting inside. It was a friend of mines, his dumbass bought the wrong size mattress and his wife made him get rid of it. He gave it to me instead for a good deal of only $100. Usually those things cost $500. Pretty stupid, they should be free if you ask me. Everyone deserves a bed to sleep on.

"Let's get to it then" Merle says following me.

We drag the bed into my room and set it up in a short time of 10 minutes.

While Merle carries in some bags from my truck, I get to work on putting clean sheets on the bed.

Once made I walk back out to my truck and very carefully grab my sleeping daughter from her car seat.

Her head falls onto my shoulder and her arms wrap around my neck as I carry her. I feel her arms tighten around me and she rubs her face again my shoulder before letting out a tired sigh and become still again.

I have the cutest little girl ever born.

I lay her down on the bed and cover her up with her favorite camouflage blanket and kiss her head before helping Merle unpack the rest of our shit.

Hopefully we can start over here. No more drama.

Hopefully Peyton can grow up happy here and I'll get to watch that.

Maybe we can finally be happy.
