I don't own either Bones or The Walking Dead. I only own the character Abigail Booth and her storyline. This is a different story, one I've never done before so I ask you to please be kind with reviews. Abigail Booth is one of my roleplay characters. I've had this character for a good three to four years now and am very in tuned with her character. A lot of Abby's personality is based off my own.

This is just a rough and sketchy idea. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue with it or not.

Bones/Walking Dead crossover. OC/Daryl Dixon pairing.

Abigail Booth was always a strong willed girl. She often asked a bit much of herself and pushed her body to the extreme but it all paid off in the end. Abby had grown up with her mother, hardly getting to see her father except for holidays and of course her birthday. When her parents got back together for a little bit, she had been ecstatic, thinking that things would be okay now. But she was wrong. When her mother found out she was pregnant, she dumped her father once more and pushed him away. Abby was devastated, hated her mother for hurting her and her father like that.

When her little brother came into the world, Abby took over the responsibility of caring for him. She became angered with her mother who seemingly turned her back on Parker, as though he was nothing more than a battery operated doll that would shut up after a while. Abby took care of Parker; she fed him, changed him, and bathed him. In a way she was more of a mother than a sister to her own brother. Because of this, Parker easily became confused. When he started talking he called Abby mama. He did this until he was a little over a year old and learned that Abby was his sister, not his mother.

But that didn't stop anything. The two were close and the bond they shared was something no one could ruin. Not even Drew, her mother's abusive, alcoholic boyfriend. What her mother saw in Drew, Abby would never understand. Everything was alright at first, but that all changed quickly. Drew began to abuse Abby and Parker when her mother wasn't home. Abby always would take the worst of the abuse, always shielding Parker from Drew so he wouldn't get hurt. Things had lead from being beaten to being sexually assaulted. Abby had no control over anything and it made her sick and scared out of her mind.

One night things went too far. Abby had managed to call her father before she blacked out. When he got to the house he found Abby unconscious, bleeding and barely breathing on her bedroom floor. He took her and Parker and rushed to the hospital. Abby was in a coma for five weeks before she finally woke up. She was frightened at first and looked around frantically in search of Drew, only to be reassured by her father and her aunt that things were okay. Although it was painful to talk about, Abby told her father everything that had been happening over the last two and a half years. Drew had been arrested and charged with sexual assault of a minor, child abuse, child endangerment, and attempted murder.

Life with Drew in jail had been a lot better for Abby and her brother. Their father had gotten full custody of them, so the two now lived with him at his apartment. Abby came out of her shell and began to open up and make new friends. She got a job at the local diner as a waitress, it was the first job she ever had. Drew never allowed Abby out of her house, claimed that she was his and that no one but him was allowed to have her. The night he had attacked her, Drew had made it rather clear that no one would ever want her. Not only was she damaged but she was used. Drew had gotten into her head, made her believe the worst of herself and causing her to withdrawal from the rest of humanity.

At the diner Abby slowly began to open up to people. She made friends with her co-workers and even began making friends with customers. Her favorite group was a bunch of guys roughly a good three to four years older than her. Abby would always be their waitress when they came in. If another waitress would try and help them they'd ask for Abby. And if she wasn't working they'd call her to join them for their meal. Even as she became friends with the group, she still kept her past a secret. She was glad the diner didn't make them wear uniforms that involved showing her legs. Abby's usual uniform consisted of a pair of black slacks, sneakers, and a polo shirt with the diner's name embroidered across the left side of her chest. Her nametag always pinned to the right side of her chest.

Tonight Abby was working as usual. She just finished bringing a young woman her meal when she heard the bell ring as someone came inside. Casting her chocolate brown eyes up from the tray in her hands, she spotted the group making their way inside and back to their normal table. Refilling the woman's coffee she then proceeded to make her way back to the booth where the guys sat.

"There she is" Ryan said with a smile as he looked at Abby.

Abby rolled her eyes and simply smiled as she looked between the guys. Her eyes fell onto one she didn't recognize which peeked her interest. Raising an eyebrow slightly she studied him, taking in everything about his appearance from the clothes he was wearing to his short dark brown hair all the way to his blue eyes.

"Hey Abs!" Jake's voice pulled her from her thoughts. She turned and looked at him with her usual smile.

"Don't yell J it's not good for business." She said, her smile never leaving her face.

"Yeah yeah whatever." Jake said as he waved his hand with a smirk. "This is Daryl Dixon; he just started working at the garage. Daryl this is Abigail Booth. She's our favorite girl here." He finished the introduction.

"Quite now or I'm gonna get out my roll of duct tape and tape that mouth of yours shut." Abby said as she rested her hands on her hips and stared at Jake.

"The usual for us Abs." Kyle said and Abby didn't bother writing anything down on her pad of paper. She turned her chocolate brown eyes to Daryl, watching as his blue eyes scanned the menu.

"And what about you Daryl?" She asked, not sure what he wanted since he wasn't a regular. At least not as of yet.

"Bacon cheeseburger with fries and a coke." He said after a moment of consideration. Abby nodded and took the menus.

"Drinks will be out shortly boys." She said as she made her way back to place the orders and get their drinks.

Abby returned a short time later with their drinks. She then disappeared again to check on the food, only to return a few moments later with the five plates of food. Abby then went about her job as she tried to focus on what she was doing. But she found herself during the night glancing over at Daryl. When the boys paid and left, she actually felt a little disappointed, not wanting them to go, especially Daryl, but she knew they had to.

That night had only been the beginning of Abby and Daryl's relationship. Daryl started going to the diner every time he worked. He learned Abby's schedule and made sure to go when she was working. When it was a slow day and she wasn't busy taking orders they'd talk. Daryl always making Abby laugh. He enjoyed watching the sparkle in her chocolate brown eyes as she laughed and the way her whole face lit up whenever she saw him walk through the door.

Daryl had been the first person Abby told about her mother's boyfriend. The abuse she had gone through. She had cried as she told him and even degraded herself by agreeing with the things Drew said. Daryl had pulled her to him, his arms around her small frame as his chin rested on top of her head. He didn't like hearing how she was talking. Running his hand through her hair, he grasped at the dark brown strands before covering her mouth with his, silencing her cries and bad talking herself.

That had been their first kiss, and only one of many more. Abby had fallen in love with Daryl. She felt safe with him and like nothing could ever hurt her. Abby had met his brother Merle once but stayed away from him. She didn't like how he acted. It actually frightened her, made her think about what she went through. Daryl never made her go to his place since he lived with Merle. He understood her being uneasy around his brother and didn't hold it against her.

Everything for them seemed to be going perfect. Daryl never in his life thought that he'd ever find someone who'd love him like Abby did. She was perfect for him. Though he often felt she could do better than him, Abby was always quick to silence him on the subject and reassure him that he was the only man she wanted.

Daryl had been looking at engagement rings when the outbreak happened. By this time he and Abby had been together for four years. He knew that he never wanted to be away from her. He wanted her in his life. The last thing Daryl heard was Abby screaming from the other end of the phone and then silence.
