A dream becomes reality (norman reedus fan fiction)

I don't bite

Norman stood there in the door with his jaw dropped, completely frozen. Unlike his son who had a huge smile on his face and ran over to the side of my bed,

"kayla! You're awake!"

"Sure am bud" I smiled and ruffled his hair causing him to groan,

"ok I'll let this one slide just cause of the situation, but I still meant what I said a month ago. Now that willow is here, you're so gonna get it!"

I laughed and rolled my eyes jokingly,"whatever you say little man"

he smiled and hugged me from the side of the bed. It was crazy the connection I had with my soon to be son. Well, stepson. Wait...what am I thinking? He is my son. This boy is mine. I smiled as he pulled away and looked over to see norman still standing nervously in the doorway. I didn't understand what was going on with him. I heard my mom chuckle and walk over to Mingus, grabbing his hand,

"come on sweet heart, let's go get the others. They are probably biting at the bit"

he smiled and nodded, but looked back to me nervously. I smiled and said,"I'll still be here when you get back"

he nodded and left with my mom. Once gone, I looked over at norman and arched an eyebrow,

"you know I'm not gonna bite right? You can come over here"

it took a minute, but he hesitantly nodded and walked slowly over to the side of the bed. I grabbed his hand from the side and jumped when instead of feeling warm and soft, they were freezing cold and clammy. I looked from his hand up to his face, but he was avoiding eye contact. My heart dropped,

"norm.....you alright?"

"you were gone" he whispered.

My heart plummeted at the sound of his voice. It sounded like he was holding in every feeling he had ever felt. He sounded like daryl. i squeezed his hand reassuringly and whispered,

"I know, but I'm here now"

he turned his head roughly and finally made eye contact with me, shocking me that they were filled with tears,

"yea you are now! But there was some chance you wouldn't!"

"norm...."I started to say but he cut me off,

"no don't norm me! Why didn't you deliver when the doctor told you the first time!" He snapped.

"because you wer....." I said, but him cutting me off again,

"so what if I wasn't here! You could've died kayla! You were leaving willow and Mingus without a mom and me without my wife!" He snapped and started to pace.

normally this would've been funny because he's still dressed as daryl dixon and I would make some smart ass remark that he's still in character, but I didn't see that this was the right time for that.

"but I didn't" I whispered.

he looked at me like I was crazy,"yea you didn't, it was some miracle. This whole pregnancy had been filled with miracles! You almost died twice and willow once! Do you not understand what that has done to me?! I just....i can't..." His voice started breaking and when he paced back towards the bed I grabbed his hand and pulled him to me, wrapping myself around his chest.

he was shaking and breathing heavily, but after a few moments he had gripped onto me tighter than I was gripping onto him and burried his face in my Hair whispering,

"I just can't lose you"

a tear ran down my cheek at how weak and scared norman truly sounded. I pulled away and saw he too was crying. I brought a small smile to my face and wiped a tear falling down his,

"I'm not going anywhere...I promise"

he searched my eyes longingly, looking for any inch of uncertainty in my eyes. I tried my best to show none. My eyes went from his to his lips, how badly I needed them on mine. Smirking I whispered,

"ya know it's always been a fantasy of mine to kiss daryl dixon"

that seemed to perk him up,"you do all the time on the show."

"yea but that's when I'm in character, not myself. So get over and kiss me dixon" I smiled.

"yes mam" he said as daryl and gripped my face with both hands and brought his lips to mine.

the amount of butterflies I got from this man was beyond anything to compare it to. When he kissed me, it was like we were in our own personal little world. As the kiss got more heated, I bit down on his lip and he pulled back. I frowned and he smirked,

"thought ya said you don't bite"

"you complaining?" I asked.

"not at all" he said and smashed his lips back into mine adding tongue this time.

we were kissing each other like we would never see each other again. He was holding me by the back of my head, pushing me against his body and I know we needed to stop soon before either of us got too excited. I don't think they'd find that appropriate In a maternity wing in a hospital, but neither of us would pull away. That was until someone cleared their throat, surrounded by soft giggled from behind. We both pulled away and turned seeing sean in the doorway with the cast behind him. Norman groaned,

"really sean? Every fucking time?"
