I stood up, to make things easier, I sat on his lap straddling him, putting my hands behind his neck. The tiniest grin grew on his face, he was hiding in the entire grin.
"Well this isn't what I exactly had in mind, on the porch at least. But yeah, I do have somethin' on my mind"
"You can tell me" His hands now on my hips
I heard a creak on the porch but brushed it off my shoulder.
"The other night, when I fell asleep and woke up cryin' wasn't because of Enid... I had another dream..." I paused, gathering my thoughts
"We were in a nice house, everything was quiet, almost as if everything was normal... I was making pancakes and sausage in the kitchen when you came in with a little girl in your arms. She wasn't Judith, she had your eyes and my hair... And when I was putting fresh pancakes on the table, I felt something weird. When I looked down, I was pregnant..." I didn't know where to go after that, I wasn't even looking at him anymore.
"Oh sunshine..." He said quietly, trying to feel my pain but I could tell he wanted a family.
"I don't know if I'm ready but it seemed so perfect. We were so happy, I mean we are now but it felt so real Daryl..." I could feel the tears swell in my eyes. I felt so bad that I wasn't ready but he was
"Baby don't cry please, it's okay, I promise you that. I bet you it was perfect, because we are perfect together" A small smile of reassurance formed on his lips
"But I feel that I'm letting you down. I can see in your eyes that you want a family of our own but I can't give you that. The only thing you want, I can't give you..."
"Dodger stop, that ain't true. Yeah I do want our own family but I'll have to wait and that is perfectly fine. The only thing I want anymore is you, Dodger..." He paused right before his last thought
'The only thing I want anymore is you, Dodger,' ran through my head. He was right, I shouldn't feel too bad. Maybe we weren't even ready to start a family...
I heard a louder creek this time, we both looked over at the same time. What we found was Carl, and Rick coming out the door looking for him.
"Why didn't you tell me you were out here?" Rick asked Carl, not even acknowledging who was behind him.
Without a word, Carl stood up and went back inside followed by Rick.
I heard commotion coming from inside, it didn't bother me but I felt so crowded and bombarded already.
"Hey can we go back to our house?" I ask standing up
"Yeah of course we can. You okay?"
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"
"Just seems like you got somethin' on your mind" Daryl says, taking my hand leading me off the porch
"I always do but not in particular"
With a small nod, we walked to the house.
When we got inside, I kicked my boots off by the front door and laid my crossbow on the couch.
"We don't need that right?" I ask
"Do we?" I saw a small smirk on his face, even though I could see the side of it.
I rolled my eyes and threw my hair into a messy bun, entering our bedroom. Plopping on the bed, laying on my left side my right leg pulled up towards my chest. I buried my face into the bed and zoned out. I didn't think about much, I didn't really want to anyway. It wasn't long before I felt Daryl crawl into bed from behind me. He laid close to me, his arm wrapping around my waist. His breath grazed my neck, sending chills down my spine making me shiver. After I shivered he laughed, "What was that about?"
"You sent chills down my spine, nerd" I smile
"I bet I did" His voice got deeper, he was closer to me now
"And what do you think you are doing" I tease, rolling over to look at him
"Not too sure, yet" Our faces were inches apart
"Now that's a lie. Your shirt's off"
Daryl didn't know what to say now, I had caught him off guard. I did that a lot...
"True..." He said, almost sounding defeated
"You're so cute ya know that?"
"Nah, you are" An innocent smile formed on his lips
"Ew what's wrong with you" I tease
He had distracted me so much that I didn't even notice what he was doing... He had slowly started undoing my pants, and slowly riding up my shirt.
"Nothin' much" I felt his hand on my almost bare hip. He somehow managed to slide my pants below my ass
"Such a liar..."
"Oh come on Dodger" He sat me up
"Yes?" I was very obviously playing stupid
He raised an eyebrow at me and shook his head in all good ways. I took off my shirt and my shirt only.
"Oh look we match!" I laugh
"Almost"
"Almost?"
That's when he pinned me down, and the rest is pretty self explanatory...
