Carol and Beth were doing laundry, Michonne, Maggie, Glenn are out on a run, Hershel is taking a nap, Carl is busy reading comic books , and Rick is on watch duty. So…..baby Judith is left with none other than her uncle Daryl.
Carol came to Daryl's cell and plopped Judith right onto his lap and handed him her bottle while he was reading the book that Andrea gave him. He tried to protest but Carol said she'd be back in an hour after she helped Beth with the chores. Guess he was stuck with Judith. It wasn't a total lost, he adored her, Daryl gave her, her first nick name after all.
"Hey there little ass-kicker, how ya doin'?" he cooed at the baby.
She didn't say anything because she was chewing on her teething ring.
"Guess you're already busy huh?" he placed the toddler next to him and continued to read his book.
After a while though, Judith started to cry which alarmed Daryl and he instantly grabbed for her milk bottle and gently held her in his arms.
"Shh….shh…shh…don't cry baby girl", he desperately tried to think what he's going to do and remembered something he heard when he himself was a baby his mom used to sing for him before she became an alcoholic and a smoker.
"Uhhhhmmm…hush little baby don't you cry…..uhhh," he mentally slapped himself for not remembering the rest of the song but then realized that this is the apocalypse now and he change whatever he want. He tried again with his own version.
Hey there, li'l ass-kicker don't you cry
Uncle D's gonna protect you from the dead
And if anyone tries to hurt you
Uncle D's gonna shoot them in the head
He chuckled at his song as Judith stops crying he fed her her milk and rocked his arms to make her fall asleep.
Carol came after a half hour to pick Judith up and was pleased to see Daryl humming a song to Judith while holding her, his back was turned so he did not notice her. She smiled and decided to come back later to give him his time with baby Judy.
Just thought of Daryl the badass babysitter and came up with this.
Not the greatest song I know, but it's the best I got :p
