What are we? (Daryl x reader (semi-rewrite of the original))

Chapter 15~~ the prison

It's been a few months now. Shane's dead. Dale's dead. Lori and I both look like we are ready to pop. Any day now we will each have our babies. But I feel as though I'm to large for one baby. Maybe a large baby?

"Ok Merle or Jared?" I asked Daryl. We've been discussing names for the past couple weeks to distract ourselves

"'Ow 'bout Merle Jared or Jared Merle" I smiled at him and laughed a little

"T'ier names don' work as a middle name" I looked at him "'ow 'bout Merle, an' if we 'ave anot'er baby boy one day, Jared?"

"You wan' to name our firs' after my brot'er?"

I nodded "oddly enoug' I miss t'at jerk"

Daryl smiled quickly before hugging me "I love ye"

"I love ye too Dar"

"So w'at if 'e's a girl?"

"Luciana?" I looked at him

"T'at is beautiful" he kissed my temple quickly "jus' like 'is mot'er"

"I'm still 'oppin on a girl" I said "but ye want a boy, don' ye?"

He nodded and I smiled. We found some cars and Daryl helped me sit down on one of the seats.

"Lori, are yer feet killin' you too?" I smiled

She smiled "always"

We both laughed a little.

"'Ey, I'm gonna go on a 'unt. Stay safe" Daryl walked up and said

"Always Dar" he leant down and kissed me "come back alive, ok? I ain't raisin' Merle on my own"

He smiled and said "promise" before disappearing into the woods

"Merle?" Lori asked with a confused face

"Yea' we decided Merle if it's a boy, and Luciana if it's a girl. I just know 'ow muc' Merle meant to Daryl"

Lori smiled "your ahead of us. We haven't even though of a name"

Things were quiet before I decided to ask "'ow do ye t'ink ye will 'ave to deliver?"

"I had Carl by c-section so I'll probably have to have this one the same way"

I nodded "ye scared?"

She nodded. "Women died all the time in labor before the apocalypse"

I froze. I never thought of that. I mean I know we have Hershal and I can't operate. I can only do meds. She must have seen my reaction "hey. We're gonna be ok honey"

"If we find a place. We are fucked out 'ere"

She shut up after that. It's true. If we don't find a place we are fucked.

I closed my eyes.

Dream

"Daddy catc' me!" A little girl yelled running from Daryl.

I was sitting on the porch watching Daryl play with our children. Merle and Luciana, who are about 6. I'm pregnant with another baby. We are sitting outside a home. It appears the apocalypse hasn't happened

"Lucy s'ut up!" Merle yelled

"No ye!"

"Ok ye two! Mommy is tryin' to relax 'ere!" I yelled "yer little sibling won' let me sleep!"

"Sorry mommy" they said in unison before them and Daryl walked up.

Daryl had this adorable smile "darlin' I gotta go on a run"

"Again? Ye just got back"

"I know. We needa be ready w'en Jared is born"

"Sophia. I'm pretty sure we're 'avin' a girl."

"Eit'er way, we gotta be ready"

I smiled "ok. Be safe. Come 'ome to us"

He kissed me "always do. 'Member, yer needed in the infirmary"

"Yes darlin' I know. W'o needs me again?"

"Pete"

Who? "Oh yea'"

"I'll see you in tomorrow morning"

"See you"

"Bye daddy!" Merle and Luciana smiled at him before hugging him

Awake

I was awoken when Daryl was carrying me.

"W'ere are we goin'?"

"We found a prison" Daryl replied "gonna clear t'e field and tomorrow clear t'e block"

I nodded as I leaned my head back into him "somew'ere safe"

"Yes darlin'" He stopped "I need to put ye down. Ye, Lori, Carol, Bet', and Maggie are gonna clear at t'e fence. I'm gonna go up to t'at guard tower-" he pointed as he said each location "Glenn up t'ere, 'ers'al and Carl up t'ere, and rick'll be runnin' to close t'at gate"

I nodded as he set me down then said to him "stay safe"

He nodded as the fence was cut open. We rushed in, Glenn, Lori, me, and then the rest, Daryl and Rick coming in last. We all got to our places

Rick shut the gate and got up into a guard tower. He then yelled. "Open up!"

We opened fire, killing the walkers. Once they were all gone we got into the field

"A safe nig't's sleep!" I smiled as I looked around

"We will burn these walkers in the morning"

"Can I 'elp wit' somet'in?" I asked

I got a look from everyone before Rick said "you can help by staying safe with Lori. Your pregnant. Hell you look like you've been pregnant for over a year"

"Come on! Let me do somet'in'" I said looking at Daryl. He handed me some squirrels and a rabbit

"Ye can 'elp me skin t'ese" I smiled. At least he is letting me do something, unlike the last almost month, I think

We set up a small camp, and Daryl and I sat down with the group. I was skinning the squirrel, when

"God damnit" I angrily said under my breath

"W'at 'appened?" Daryl asked

"Not'in'. Just a small cut is all"

He held out his hand for me to show him So I put my hand in his

"Small cut my ass"

"I'm fine. Baby is fine. It ain't gonna 'urt me or t'e baby"

He shook his head as he wrapped it in a bandana

That's when I felt a small kick, for the first time in two days.

"'E does not like us arguin'" I smiled as I placed my other hand on my inlarged stomach

Daryl looked at me and smiled. I grabbed his hand and held it over the spot as the baby kicked again. Every time Daryl is gone, little one kicks, but Daryl gets back and little one goes to sleep.

I think Daryl will be an amazing dad. Even if I'm not there
