Underneath The Cover Of Darkness

Trouble

       The next morning   you woke up  feeling with more energy than you had in a long time. You knew it had to  do with the fact that  you had slept a good 12 hours without waking up once. You hadn't done that in a long time. You change and walked outside.. people were already out and about going about there daily duties.. you knew you needed to do something to feel useful  here. Maybe you could asked  Maggie you started down the steps.. "Megan "  you turn and saw Rick come up holding a beautiful  girl in his arms  your grin at the sight. " ohhh  this must be miss Judith aren't  you a sweetie "  you said  as the little girl grinned at you .. "thanks I was thinking maybe you  could check her out  Hershel been keeping an eye on her.. but he a vet.. and not totally sure what going on. " Rick said worried.  you nodded come on let sit down..  you walked back on the porch and sat down on the chairs.. "may I ?" you asked  holding your arms out to take Judith Rick nodded and placed her in your lap she  immediately snuggled into you " she trust you  " he said " I have a way with kids  It help with my job  " you said as you  began to gentle go over the little girl .."What is going on ?" you asked  she  having trouble moving some times ..like it hurts to move and she will spike a fever sometime and then it will go away and then come back.. and she been throwing  up a lot more.. " Rick said leaning forward with his arms on his knees. " you looked over him.. " I am assuming she not gotten any shots "  he shook her head. " no  Lori gave birth in a prison she died and we were on the run since until we came here.. I never thought.. " he said  he looked over at  you " What is wrong " he  asked   you sigh.. I cant be total sure.. because I cant draw blood  but she might be not getting enough what her body needs and because of not having the booster shots at birth  her body cant fight an injections she could have gotten. " you explained. "So what do we do " he asked " you looked at the baby in you arms " we need to go find her some supplement's   to help her body get strong to fight  off the  infection " you said.

             You  stood back and listen as there  was a debate on who should go get  the supplements for Judith.  " I am her father so I am going "  Rick said. your going to need back of if your going out " Glenn said "So I am in "  you step forward.." Dose either one of  you know what the supplements look like ?"  then you need me to come along I do " you said  At that point Daryl step forward speaking up for the first time.  "Cant you just write it down or something.. you don't need to be going back out there.." he said "Rick and Glenn can handle it " you turn to him. " it better if I go and get what I need ..this is really important  beside I want to prove myself to this group and make myself useful " you said giving him a little smile. "Well then I will go to incase  something happen  "Daryl started to say. But Rick interrupted No  we need you here to keep "  an eye out on the place  in case something happens " he said Daryl frown  and looked like he wanted to argue  but he just nodded  and turn and stomp out of the house.  you turned back around and noticed everyone staring ..with amuse expression on their faces "What you asked "nothing "said Rick  "Anyway so me Glenn and Megan will head out in 30 minutes  there  a pharmacy about 2 hours from here  hopeful we can  get back before nightfall " Rick said.  you nodded and headed outside to get ready.

                  You found Daryl sitting on you steps smoking .." I didn't know you  smoke " you said sitting down beside him "  only when I have a pack " he replied. " so  why are you so against me going ?"  you asked  you felt him stiffen up beside..  "  you almost got yourself killed last time and that was just yesterday " he snapped.  you tried not to let his words hurt .. " so your saying that  you don't think  I am going to be able to watch  your friends back. Then" you asked. He didn't replied  you felt the tears and wonder why   he  could cause  you  to have  then. you quickly blink them away.  You stood up  and look down at him keeping your voice  void of any emotions  " you may not have found me at my finest  hour  but I promise you this I can take care of myself and I will  get that child her med and bring your friends back..  you turned and  walked away quickly  before he could see the tears..

              You met up with Rick and Glen who was loading gear up in a car ..Maggie kissed Glenn goodbye and you turned your head away. Rick must have noticed.. "Are you ok " he asked  you nodded " yea I am fine.. we are going to get your girl her med and she will be just fine.." you told him.  he smiled.. "Maggie came up to you handing you two bottles of water.. " Stay safe and hurry back ok " she said.. you nodded  you looked over her shoulder and noticed Daryl standing leaning up against a tree starting at you .. you  ignore him and slid into the backseat of the car and Rick into the driver seat Glenn up front. The big gates swung open again and  the car pulled forward slowly leading you back outside of the safety of the walls. you took a deep breath.. and remember  who  you were doing this for ..
