Dammit Dixon (Daryl Dixon Love story)

Chapter 7

"You could have died instead of her!" He walks away and picks Rachel up who thankfully was asleep, he goes to my truck and places her in her car seat. He climbs in himself and shuts the door.

"Darlin'." I hear Daryl whisper slightly behind me, I stay silent. "Come on, yer ridin' with me." I follow him to his truck, the others give me sympathetic looks.

"Glenn, you take my car. Don't ruin it." Shane says as he gets in my truck, everyone gets ready to leave after saying bye to Morales, Miranda and their kids who were leaving us. I stay silent the whole drive, Daryl would give me glances now and again. The cars all come to a stop, I see others talking and then Shane comes back with T-Dog. I get out of the truck to see Shane and Rick carrying Jim to a tree, they all say goodbye to him. I crouch next to him when it was my turn to say goodbye.

"Hey Jim, you look like hell you know." He chuckles.

"Feel it." He looks at me. "It'll all be okay, Darren doesn't know what to do that's all. He's scared, I heard you two arguing. Now tell me one last thing."

"Anything."

"Is Daryl their dad?" I let out a smile.

"Yeah he is."

"Knew it. Dale owes me 5 bucks." I let out a laugh. "Make sure he's good to them. Family is all you got. Now go." I kiss his forehead.

"Bye Jim." I run back to Daryl's truck and get in, we drive off. I see Jim's figure fade away as we get further away from him.

"I went te' go find him." Daryl finally speaks up.

"What?"

"Darren. Rachel came runnin' up te' me sayin' he wa' gone. I told 'er te' tell ye' tha' I'll find him."

"She didn't tell me that part."

"Probably forgot. But I found him not te' far from camp, an' I brought him back."

"Thank you."

"No problem. Told ye' I'm 'ere now."

"Yeah."

"So ye' an' Shane."

"What about me and Shane?"

"Ye' two got sumthin' goin' on?"

"No."

"Didn't seem like it earlier."

"It was a bit of harmless flirting, so what?"

"Nuthin'. I jus' thought."

"Yeah well you thought wrong." We finally arrive outside the compound (CDC), I get out and walk over to Rachel and Darren. Darren walks away while Rachel holds my hand, we reach the building. Shane pounds on the door.

"There's nobody here." T-Dog states.

"Then why are those shutters down?" Rick speaks.

"I agree with Rick." I speak up.

"Walkers." Daryl shouts as he shoots one in the head. "Ye' led us into a graveyard!" He kills another, I shoot one of the walkers in the head.

"He made a call." I shout back as the others kill a few more walkers.

"It was the wrong damn call!"

"Just shut up! You hear? Shut up! Rick, this is a dead end." Shane shouts, they discuss where to go as I look at the building. Rachel tugs on my hand, I look down at her as she looks at me with fear in her eyes.

"Sweetie what's wrong?" I ask.

"Momma I'm scared, they're gonna get us momma." I pick her up and give her a hug.
