Grimes/ Riggs Imagines

Dixon's Daughter

Imagine:

Carl and I had now been dating for 3 months, even though my father, Daryl doesn't approve. He can't control my life forever. My dad has this theory that I shouldn't date the leaders son because if we break up and it ends badly, we will be kicked out of the group.

I sat in-between Carl's legs, my back against his chest and his arms wrapped around my torso as I played with his fingers. I smiled as I looked at everyone around the campfire. Beth was bouncing Judith in her lap. Maggie and Glenn were snuggling by a tree. Michonne and Rick were talking about what's next. I glanced at my dad, he was looking at Carl and I in disgust. I shrugged it off like I always do and I leaned my head back, placing it on his shoulder.

"What do you think is next?" I asked Carl, I lacing his fingers with mine. "Probably finding food and supplies" Carl answered back, hugging me tightly. "No, I mean like... Where do you think we will stay?" I stated. "Oh, I'm not sure. I think dad is talking about that with Michonne." Carl replied.

I turned my body around to face him and lifted my legs over his. "I love you" I said. "I love you too" Carl said back to me. I pecked his lips and that's when my dad grunted. I rolled my eyes and pressed my head into his chest.

About an hour later we were finishing up our dinner of baked beans and peanuts. Not a gourmet meal but, it'll do. "I'm gonna go wash up in the creek" I announced, grabbing my bag of shampoos. It had been at least 4 days since I last showered. "Someone's gotta go with you to keep watch. Who are you comfortable going with?" Carol asked. "Carl" I smiled at him.

My dad, Daryl jumped up from his seat "oh, hell no. That's where I draw the line. You know I don't like you dating the kid, now you wanna run off with him. No!" My dad told me, quite loudly snapping his fingers in a z formation. "Why not? You act like he's never seen me." I blurted out without thinking. I held my hand over my mouth. My dad didn't know Carl and I have been intimate. "Excuse me?" Was all my dad could say. I looked at everyone, no one was even paying attention, accept Carl, who was as pale as a ghost. "C'mon dad. We're both 17. Teenagers, with hormones you had to have known" I tried to reason with him. I gave Carl the 'I got this' look. "No, you two are done. That's it. No more seeing each other." Dad said angrily. "Dad, no you can't do that" I said, beginning to cry. I looked at Carl and he had the same face. "I can. Carl, stay away from my daughter." Daryl told Carl.

I ran to my tent, crying. I zipped the door shut and heard the whispers of the group asking my dad what had happened. All I wanted right now was for Carl to hold me but, my dad won't let him anywhere near. I screwed up and I screwed up bad. Eventually, I cried myself to sleep.

~1 week later~

I trudged on as we continued walking. No one knew where we were headed but we just kept walking. I looked at my now ex- boyfriend and sighed. Dad hasn't even let me talk to him. Yesterday, Carl offered to help me with Judith and my dad went ballistic.

I was so upset that I didn't have Carl anymore. He always knew how to make me laugh when I was sad and now I'm sad and he can't help me. I miss his hugs, his cuddles, his good morning nose kisses. Now, I wake up to Maggie and Glenn's snores.

We ended up heading into the woods to create camp for the night. Everyone help set up but me. I just sat there, looking at Carl. When camp was set up and everyone was eating dinner, I gazed at everyone. They were all talking and being happy. No one noticed that Carl and I just sat.

I dropped my plate and grabbed my knife, heading to a watering hole. I didn't let anyone know because honestly right now I just want to be alone.

Carl's POV

I looked around, noticing (Y/N) was gone. Now was the time. I need to talk to Daryl.

"Hey Daryl" I said, walking over to him. "What do you want?" He asked, continuing to sharpen his knife that he was probably going to use to stab me. "(Y/N) has been really depressed since you broke us up and so have I" I told him. "So? What's your point?" Daryl asked. "My point is you may not care about me but she's your daughter. You should care if she's unhappy. It's not like we even did anything wrong. We were two teenagers in love. So, I took he virginity." I started but was interrupted. "Yea and that's something she can never get back" Daryl said, standing up. "Exactly, wouldn't you want her to stay with the person who took it? That's probably what's making her upset the most. You took away the one person who took something she can never get back. You took away the person who made her smile. When was the last time you saw her smile since we broke up? Not once, huh? Im just saying, think about someone else besides yourself." I finished and then walked off.

Daryls POV

Carl has a point. I haven't seen my daughter smile since I said she couldn't date him. I miss seeing her happy. Where is she? I need to tell her she can date him again. I saw her climbing over the noise makers, she was clean. "(Y/N), where were you? You're clean" I asked her, moving he hair from her face. "Watering hole but it's not like you care" she sighed. "You went alo- never mind that right now, Carl, talked me. And I need to tell you something" I started. "What now we are leaving the group?" (Y/N) asked without any emotion. "No, I haven't seen you smile since I said you couldn't date him. I miss your smile. So, you have my blessing, I guess" I said. I watched her face light up. I smiled seeing her so happy, she thanked me a billion times. I chuckled as she ran towards Carl.

Your POV

I grinned from ear to ear and turned around, racing towards Carl. I leaped into him. He wrapped his arms around me and then pushed me away. "What about Daryl?" He asked. "He gave me approval" I yelled happily. Carl smiled and pulled me back into a hug, lifting me off the ground. He spun me around. I felt him kiss my neck and he put me down. Carl leaned down crashing his lips to mine. God, I missed this feeling. This feeling of an explosion in my stomach. We both had a goofy grin on our faces as we pulled away. For that night, we basked in the glory of our love.
