This is a one shot, sonific pre-zombie's Daryl/oc, AU
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself I got nothing to prove
Mimi sat with her head resting on her knee's she could hear her dad stumbling drunkenly downstairs she tried to block it out but she could hear the pot's that he threw at the wall in his drunken anger, Mimi let the tear's run freely down her face hoping he wouldn't find her tonight little did she know next door Daryl was going through a similar thing. Daryl sat behind his door blocking his dad's attempt to get in he opened the box's that he had hidden under his bed it was filled with $40,000 that he had saved over the year's tomorrow he would buy a truck and get away from his abusive ass of a dad. Daryl awoke that morning and grabbed his box's of money before he took off to the local garage he knew the owner, Jim, and he was giving him a deal on a truck. Daryl approached the garage and greeted Jim, he handed him the money in exchange for the key's to his new car, Daryl climbed in and drove back to his house to collect his stuff, he pulled up in the drive and walked in to the abondoned house silence ecohed off the wall as he grabbed his clothes shoving them into a bag he walked out to his new truck and threw the bag in as he heared a scream and threw the window of his neibour's house he could see his neibour punching his daughter Daryl froze as he saw her tare away from her farthers grip and run out the door she wasn't looking where she was going and she collided with Daryl's chest, Mimi picked herself up and looked up to see a unfamilure truck she then looked toward's Daryl
"Your leaving?" She questioned but it sounded more like a statement Daryl looked past he bloodied and bruised face down at her desperate wide eye's he nodded "Take me with you!" she begged Daryl raised an eyebrow
"Why?" he asked dumbly
"Please I need to get away! Maybe we can make a deal?" Daryl snorted
"you just gonna leave everything behind?" Mimi shrugged
"I got nothing to loose any place is better than this" Daryl still looked unconvinced Mimi sighed "I've nothing to prove I just need to get away" Daryl nodded
"get your stuff we leaving" Mimi nodded exsitedly and ran back inside
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
Daryl got in to the drivers seat and Mimi slipped into the passenger seat after what seamed like a life time Daryl reved the engieon and the truck took off down the road, Mimi opened he purse and began counting the money she had
"I have been working at the grocery shop I have enough money to get us to Atlanta" Daryl nodded glad she was here truthfully he hadn't thought about fuel without Mimi he wouldn't have made it far he had spent all his money on his truck
"What are we going to do when we get to Atlanta?" he asked
"We can both get job's rent an apartment and live like normal people" Mimi answered looking out the window watching the greenery disappear past.
See my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
"Why do you want to leave?" Daryl asked randomly he had seen Mimi getting hit but he wondered if that was the real reason for wanting to get away, Mimi looked at he lap
"My daddy he like's to drink and my mamma she didn't want that sorta life so she left him" Mimi blinked the tears out of her eye's remembering her past "He couldn't care for himself so I had to drop outta school and look after him, he wasn't a happy man and he said I look like mamma it made him angry." Mimi was in tear's and Daryl put his arm around her shoulder's pulling her closer she rested her head on his chest listening to his steady heart beat she smiled knowing where ever Daryl was would be home
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
"Your truck is really fast!" she commented as they came closer to the city Daryl chuckled and looked down at Mimi and for the first time he saw her in a knew light her bright blue eye's sparkled with anticipation for what was to come her matted brown hair was soft and curly her pale skin dusted with bruises, he looked down at her and made his decision he lent down and kissed her passionately knowing that this was the start of forever.
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
1 year on Mimi sat on her camp bed curled up her knee's supporting her chin she remembered the night her life changed she looked over to Daryl who was fast asleep in his camp bed she missed the way his arm felt around her and the way she fit so comfortably Mimi remembered being sure she could do something with her life but now she didn't know she stood up and walked outside seeing Daryl's truck she smiled and walked back inside.
You got a fast car
We go cruising, entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
"Daryl baby wake up" Mimi gentally nugged Daryl who groaned sleeply but opened his eye's any way
"Waddoya want?" he grumbled Mimi smiled
"Let go for a ride?" she asked Daryl ran his hand's over his face yawning but he got up anyway they both climbed into Daryl's truck as he started it up he drove for a while before he started crusing allong a forrist path "Pull over" Mimi demanded and Daryl complied once the car had stopped Mimi leaned over and kissed Daryl tenderly when they came up for breath Mimi looked up at him she pulled his top off, The two layed together and when they were finnished they lay in silence in the back ot Daryl's truck Mimi looked to Daryl
"you can find a job tomorrow, thing will get better I promise " Mimi and Daryl headed back to the shelter and fell into dreamless sleep's
So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
Mimi looked at the test in her hand she was pregnant she was going to be a mamma, she ran out to Daryl who was sitting on the couch watching T.V
"Daryl I'm pregnant!" she announced presenting him with the test, Daryl jumped of the sofa and wrapped his arms around Mimi spinning her around he put her down and got on one knee
"I was waiting for a better time but Mimi will you be my wife?" Mimi put her hand's to her mouth tears ran down her face
"Yeah!" she exlaimed everything was good once Daryl had a job everything would be perfect
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
5 year's later Mimi Dixon sat at home holding her and Daryl's 3 year old Kristy Wisteria Dixon on her knee while there 5 year old Daniel James Dixon was playing with his toy's on the floor Mimi had gotten a promotion and had enough money to pay all the bill's so she was nearly always working it was 7 o'clock and Mimi was waiting for Daryl to get home because the kid's wanted to say good night but time ticked on and eventually Kristy and Daniel were fast asleep Mimi put them to bed and waited for Daryl's return. Half twelve Daryl stumbled in Mimi had been ready to shout ang scream at him but when he came through the door all word's disappeared Daryl froze when he saw Mimi preparing himself for a lecture but he never got one Mimi just stood up and went to bed thinking about how her life might not be perfect Mimi went into Kirsty's room she picked her up and put her in her carseat she proceeded to do the same with Daniel she went into the kitchen and wrote a note to Daryl that read
Dear my darling Daryl I have taken the kid's away for a while. While I am gone I would like you to decide what is more important to you your family or Drinking if the Drink is more important please tell me because I won't make the children live like that please know I do love you more than life but what we are living at the minute this in not life I love you xx Mimi
Mimi then got in Daryl's Truck and drove away she kept driving until she found a run down motel she payed for a room for herself and he children she set her baby's to bed before she lay down and fell asleap
So remember when we were driving driving in your car

Mimi took the children back home the morning after she left Daryl's truck on the drive and took her car to drop the kid's of at daycare and school before she went to work. At work on the check out she was pushing random item's through the till but she just didn't have it in her to smile as she worked looking out of the shop window she saw a drunken man stumbling around Mimi sighed she had, had enough of drunk people suddenly the man toppled in to a woman he launched at her shoulder and bit down on the woman's shoulder Mimi gasped as she saw more of those freak's biting people. Mimi threw her apron off and ran to her car she got in and sped off to the daycare center she saw a freak rounding a little girl stuck in a high chair Mimi looked at the child and realized it was Kristy, Mimi grabbed a butter knife and stabbed the freak in the head if fell down dead Mimi grabbed Kristy and strapped her baby in before she sped off to the school, there were children running every where but Mimi was only interested in one child "MOMMY" a scared voice screamed and Mimi saw Daniel running toward's her she picked him up and ran back to the car Mimi needed to find Daryl she drove to the house as fast as she could only to find Daryl's truck was gone tear's sprung to her eye's when she realized she may never see her husband again.
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
Mimi drove away deciding she wouldn't die this way she would live for her children.
(I desided to do a reunion because I can so hope you enjoy it)
Mimi had found herself in a barn with an old woman who was waiting for her husband her name was Ethel and she adored Kristy and Daniel, Ethel had a gun and calendar so she could protect her barn and tell you the day of the week Mimi had to find food for the small group every week and she had become skilled at killing the dead one day while Mimi was finding food she was approached by a young man called Aaron he told her he had been observing her and her children he also had presumed that Ethel was her mother he asked if she would like to audition to be part of his group that he called Alexandrian, Mimi was at first suspicious but then he started showing photos of his home and she became exited to keep her children somewhere safe Mimi asked Ethel to come but she refused saying she had to wait for her husband Mimi didn't have the heart to tell the kind old woman that her husband was most lightly dead.
When Mimi arrived at Alexandria she was interviewed to see if she was acceptable to live in the sanctuary they had created she passed with flying color's and herself and he children moved into a house that was better than the house she had before it was kitted out with furniture as well Mimi began to relax in the safety of her new home, she got to know the people she lived with and she became quick friend's with Candice and Peter the couple who lived next door turn's out they had a large family in Alexandrian there was Peter his girlfriend Candice, his brother Christopher or kip, his brother's girlfriend Natasha or Tasha, his two little sister's Jess and Amy and his Dad Glenn and Step mom Jane they all loved Kristy and Daniel and were nearly always playing with them Mimi was really happy and safe but she still missed Daryl and her heart ached for her lost husband but life was good.
2 year's later
Mimi was watching her children grow healthy Daniel was nearly 8 year's old and Kristy was 5 they both were happy children and luckily hadn't asked any questions about where there dad was it had been 2 year's and it still killed Mimi to talk about Daryl, she was sitting on her porch her brown hair twisted into a not at the back of her head she was watching Kristy catching Bubbles that Daniel was blowing at her out of the corner of her eye she saw a group walking threw the gate's being led into the interview room Mimi thought it would be nice to have some new people she shut her eye's for a minute only to hear Daniel shout "DAD" Mimi's eye's flew open in time to see Daniel sprinting to the new group of people she grabbed Kristy and sprinted after him when she rounded the corner her eye's widened as she saw Daryl standing he was holding a crossbow and looked like he hadn't showered in a year but it was Daryl he was alive he dropped his crossbow and opened his arm's to Daniel who crashed into him "Dad your alive!" he cried as Daryl held on to the young boy he stroked down his hair and grabbed his face in his hand's
"Daniel?" he asked the boy nodded and hugged him again Daryl felt tear's falling from his eye's as the rest of his group looked on in shock, Rick knew what it was like to be away from his family but he was only gone for a month or two Daryl hadn't seen his kid in nearly two year's Rick couldn't begin to imagination how he felt. Kristy wiggled away from Mimi and ran over to her brother
"Who are you?" she asked Daryl in an adorably cute voice Rick didn't miss the hurt in Daryl's eye's as his daughter confessed not knowing who he was but Daniel was there to save the day
"This is our Dad, Kirst!" he exlaimed Kirsty looked confused before deciding she need clarification from Mimi
"Momma?" she asked turning around, Daryl looked up and his eye's met Mimi's he stood up and ran to his wife she opened her arms and closed the distance
"Daryl" She asked she felt him nod against her she held on as they both crashed to there knees Kristy ran over and grabbed her mom's shirt, Mimi giggled as she pulled Kristy into the hug and beckoned Daniel over they stayed like that for awhile and Daryl looked over his family
"I'm sorry for how I was you are the most important people to me and i'm never gonna let you out my sight again!" That was it Daryl and Mimi had there family again and they would never let it go.
