Chapter 20

"Dare," I took a deep breathe, here goes nothing, "I'm pregnant."

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath that was it, it was out. No taking it back now. Daryl wasn't saying anything and when I looked up he looked like he was in shock, he was completely still and just staring at me, more like through me.

I knew it, I knew this would happen if I told him, this is why I didn't want to say anything. I should have left when I had the chance. Should have just taken off and dealt with this by myself.

I looked Daryl in the eyes and he was still just staring back at me, like he was lost.

"Dare," I spoke softly as a tear ran down my cheek, "Please say something."

Tears started streaming down my face and he suddenly snapped out of whatever that was and he wrapped his arms around me and held me close. I laid my head on his shoulder and cried into it.

"It's ok," he whispered, "It's going to be ok, we'll figure this out."

I pulled back, "How? How can we figure this out?"

"I don't know but we will," Dare spoke.

"What are we gonna do?"

"Do you want to keep it?" Daryl asked as he sat next to me and held my hands.

I looked him in the eyes, "We don't really have a choice."

"If ya don't want to keep it we'll make a run, we'll find something, I'll make it happen but if you want to keep it, I'll find us a place. Keep ya both safe."

"Dare, I could lose it and it could rip me apart," I whispered.

"Don't think like that, it's a Dixon, it's got my kick-ass attitude," Dare smiled causing me to smile a little, "It's also a Jenner, and the Jenner I know is the toughest son-of-a-bitch I've ever met. Look at everything that's happened, we made it and we'll keep fightin'. This kid has the best of both of us and with that he'll be one tough kick-ass brat."

I laughed, "He? You hoping for a boy?"

"I don't care what it is, I'll love him or her as much as I love their mom."

He raised a hand to wipe my cheeks from the tears that had fallen and placed his lips on mine and then pulled back.

"If ya ain't comfortable keepin' it we'll figure it out, no pressure."

"What if I lose ya again?" I asked.

"You won't, ever," Daryl promised.

"What if something happens?"

"Then I'll find you."

"What if I die?" I asked.

"Don't..."

"No I'm serious, what if I die?"

"Then I'll protect this kid, keep it safe no matter what."

"What if I miscarry?"

"You won't."

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I don't, but we gotta stay positive."
