A storm over head (Daryl Dixon fanfic)

new family

it had been several months and the new members of the group had began to fit in, they had people helping on runs and people killing the walker through the fence . 

carol was cooking breakfast , deer  and Tamara was helping as she always did . daryl came over to grab some food as he did he also discussed the run that they were going on when patrick came over .

" ahh mr dixon thank you for bringing the deer back yesterday, it was a real treat sir and i would be honored to shake your hand " he said as he stuck out his hand .

Daryl grossly sucked all the grease of his hand before shaking the small boys hand , before joining tamra and carol as the walked away for the barbecue. " that was so gross " tamara said as she hit his shoulder , she began to walk away but not before daryl handed his bowl to carol  and the picked Tamara up from behind spinning her around a few times before gently putting her down . The young boy that Tamara spoke to on the day of the boys father death came running up to daryl screaming "me next me next" which  Daryl complaid too and did it too him as well before putting him down giving Tamara a goodbye kiss and getting into the car that was going on the run with the selected group . tamra picked up the small boy and started walking towards the library  "hello carol ready for there reading are they " 

carol nodded as tamara put down the boy "well have fun kids" , Tamara said as she winked and walked away but before she left she said"ricks coming soon"and winked . it was Tamara idea to train the kids but she didn't have a clue how rick would take it so it was just her and  carol secret . 

before to long the group had returned they all looked battered and tired and they were missing the teenage that went with them. 30 day without a accident turned in to none . daryl didn't even engage with  Tamara and went state to beth cells Tamara walked towards the cell to be there to comfort beth when she heard the news about her recent boyfriend . but quite shockley when daryl walked out she didn't even hear a peep from her cell. " i could of done more " darly said as he embraced tamara in a hug .

" do you want me to stay with you tonight" Tamara replayed back 

" i want you to move into my cell " 

so that night Tamara  moved into daryl cell and they both went to sleep little did the know that was the best idea .  

after tamara did her normal rounds and locked one of the men in his cell because he slept walked and  luke as well because he tended to get up in the middle of the night as well she walked past pattrick who was coughing " do you want some cough medicine pattrick "

patrick nodded and Tamra went and gave him some . " now go have a warm shower and get some rest you feel  a bit better in the morning " 

" thanks mrs dixon" pattrick said as he walked towards the shower block .  Tamara stood there for a second in shock because patrick had just  called he mrs dixon and Daryl stood at the door of his cell smiling to himself because he realised how right that sounded .  Tamara turned around and headed into daryl cell striping out of her clotheis in to her under garment which she slept in most night as daryl shut the door to the perch and did the same thing . They lay there quietly for a few second before they started talking . " are you okay daryl "

" i could of done more "

" you did as much as you could , trust me i know that " 

" there was so many of them "

" and i was lucky because you came back to me "

" i want to say something before it to late "

"what is it " she said making eye contact with daryl 

"i love you "

" i love you to " she said smiling giving him a kiss . 

"you do "

" of course i do dumbass now lets get some sleep"

Daryl hmmed in response before he to closed his eyes and started snoring softly . meanwhile patrick was taking the shower  , gasping for air he realised he was choking , he tried so hard to get air into his lungs but no matter how hard he tried it was to no avail he was so scared , he tried so hard to breathe but he couldn't , why couldn't  he breathe  it was one simple action in out in out . but it would get stuck and he couldn't seem to breathe out he could only breath in and in and in .  The cough medicine wasn't going to help him , he realised that nothing was going to help him because even if he tried to get to somebody cell for help  was he going to make it ,. patrick realized he was dying  . but he was so young why was he dying he only had a cold why was he dying . he could ask hershel but would he make it to the other cell block and to hershel cell in time , and then he thought was he disappoint anybody if he didnt make it . if he died in hear at least it might be easier to clean and that when it happened he could no longer breath in he fell hitting his head on the shower floor blood went everywhere it leaked for his cracked skull and from his eyes and nose . just like the walker patrick had seen earlier in the day and then patrick awoke but pattrick was no longer patrick he was one of them, one of the walkers.

  He belonged outside the prison now .
