These Awkward Moments

Chapter 47 The Calm

The next day
Delilah's POV
I woke up the next morning deliciously sore in places I had never been sore before. Daryl was laying on his back with one arm wrapped around me. I was laying on my side with my head on his shoulder and tucked under his jaw. One arm was draped over his chest and one leg was tangled in his legs. This was our favorite sleeping position, and as my pregnancy advanced I really didn't sleep well unless I was able to use Daryl as my body pillow like this. I stretched and adjusted the weight of my belly against him. I tried to relax and go back to sleep, but the baby was wide awake and felt like it was turning somersaults inside my belly.

Daryl's arm tightened around my back. "Damn Delilah! My baby is kickin' the shit outta you this mornin'!"

I giggled. "Yeah. Maybe you could be the firm, disciplinarian Da and tell her ta behave herself?"

We both chuckled at this knowing that Daryl would rarely if ever be the one to scold or discipline our children. He was a total softy when it came to parenting. I stretched and yawned. He tried to pull me back to him as I rolled away. "Daryl. Ya gotta let me pee darlin'.  Your baby is gonna kick the pee outta me too!"

He laughed and let me go. "Ok, but only on the condition that ya come right back to snuggle with me some more."

I laughed from the bathroom. "Man! It's times like these that I really wish I had a cell phone or at least a video camera. Who would ever believe the big, badass Daryl Dixon is demanding snuggles from his wife?"

He chuckled as I walked back into the bedroom. "Well I've just learned that asking for snuggles is more likely ta get me ta my final goal than just yellin' 'Hey woman, drag ya ass back in here so I can fuck ya senseless'."

He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I giggled and climbed back into our bed and snuggled up next to his warm, sexy body. "Well that just goes ta show ya that ya can teach an ol' dog new tricks. But just so we're clear, when I'm pregnant... either one will just about guarantee ya gettin' laid."

He swatted my ass cheek playfully. "Yeah? And what about just spankin' that sassy ass? What'll that get me."

I pulled myself in closer to him, wrapped my legs around his, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "When I'm this horny, it doesn't really matter a whole lot what ya do or say... chances are pretty good I'ma let ya fuck me senseless. And since I'm pretty damn certain that I can always count on you for some mornin' wood, I'm pretty confident that the feelin's mutual." I rolled my hips against his body, and he groaned as he turned and kissed me.

We spent the next hour reliving the previous night's activity, but this time Daryl smacked my ass until it was bright red. I wanted him to be a little rougher, but we agreed that it should wait until I was no longer pregnant.

As we walked out of the bedroom, I rubbed my still stinging butt cheek and shook my head. I never would have suspected five years ago that I could be so turned on by a man spanking my ass that I would beg him for more. And if you had told me that I would be happily letting that same man fuck me in the ass, I would have laughed in your face.

Daryl nudged my shoulder with his as we walked into Mercy's bedroom. "What's that shit eatin' grin for this mornin' Doc?"

I looked at him with a smile and shook my head. "Just thinkin' about how different life can be than what you had pictured for yourself a few years before, and how glad I am that things turned out the way they did instead of how I planned it."

Daryl nodded. "Yeah. Me too." He kissed me and we turned and woke up our daughter together. Daryl was planning on taking Mercy with him and Max to Aaron and Eric's house while they worked on schedules for a couple of hours. I was going to spend the day in the infirmary with Gavin. I was working on getting a few final things organized before the baby came.
