As Dixie walked to Daryl she knew that things were not going to go well. She had been on his bad side before his red face and screaming had scared her on countless occasions but never once did he hit her even when merle would egg him on.

Dixie had to look up at Daryl because of the height difference him being 5'11 her being 5'2.

"What the hell do you want Dixon I would like to get back to my daughter." Dixie said rolling her eyes

"Ya better choose your tone wisely girl. I ain't in the mood, your dad thinks he so high in mighty tryin to leave my brotha' in Atlanta. Ya best watch his back for him cus I'm tellin ya if I get a cha-."
Merle heard the conversation between Daryl and Dixie he knew it was time to step in when she saw the both of them clenching their fists.

"Aye baby brotha how bout ya leave sugar tits alone will ya she's a mama she doesn't need to be stressing right now when she has a little girl to be lookin over."

Dixie was shocked to say the least when merle has stepped in. She took a few steps away from Daryl and nodded a thanks to merle and ran back to her little girl. She snatched Cleo up and ran to the lake while ignoring the looks the group of survivors gave her.

She sat in the rocks watching how the lake water came on shore then slowly went back out. She knew it wasn't safe being out here by her self in the middle of the night with a baby but she needed space for everyone, she was glad to have her father back but she was overwhelmed by what just had happened.

Dixie heard the rocks crunch under someones feet but she didn't dare look to she how it was. She new it wasn't a walker she knew what their footsteps sounded like just like she knew what human footsteps sounded like.

"Ya okay darlin."

It was merle Dixon who decided to check on the girl, he may not be the best influence but he wanted to be there for his little niece. Even if it meant dealing with her prick of a grandfather.

"As good as a single mother can get merle." She laughed sadly.

"Sometimes I wonder if Daryl even thinks about his daughter. Cleo knows Daryl is her dad I've shown her pictures of him even though he's here. It just upsets me y'know." Dixie said quietly

"Hey girly don't be so upset." Merle said nudging Dixie's leg. " Cleo has her good ole pal uncle merle." He chuckled taking Cleo out of Dixie's lap.

The little girl looked up at him the those big Dixon blue eyes and knew he was gonna protect this little girls no matter what.

Cleo took her hand and slapped merle in the face then giggled.

"Ya got a mean right hook on ya, ya little froggy." Merle's laughter carried through out the camp Daryl was standing at the edge of the camp looking down at the lake seeing merle hold the little girl while Dixie sat beside him.

"Did you just call my kid froggy!?" Dixie said busting out laughing

"Damn right I did sugar tits I mean look at them big blue eyes. Frogs have big eyes and so does she so I just put two and two together."

" your such a mess merle but it's damn funny."
