TWD isn't mine

The Day he Learned her Name

"A month, Daryl, that's all I ask!" Andrea had been so happy when Daryl eventually called her back. She had practically squealed on the phone in happiness. Daryl was still in shock that he even made the call back in the first place, yet she managed to pick it up after the first ring as if she was waiting there in her office knowing he'd call her back. "Just spend one month with them, and if it doesn't work out after a month or you find that it really isn't for the best I'll send them to New York."

"M'kay.. sounds like a plan.." Daryl replied as he sat there fiddling with the packet of cigarettes in his hand.

"Perfect! I'll see you today after 3 o'clock!" Andrea finished off saying before hanging up the phone, leaving Daryl to sit there in silence in his messy trailer for a while. After a while of his well enjoyed silence, Daryl watched as his brother came out of his room and headed to the bathroom. He waited there in his seat for his brother to come out, because he knew that when he did he would probably have something to say.

After a few minutes he heard the toilet flush, then Merle exited the bathroom. He threw himself on to the couch, laying there as he started at his little brother, "So did ya call 'er yet?"

"Yup. Say's she'll be here wit'em by 3 this afternoon." Daryl looked around at his surroundings. Damn this place is a disaster. "Guess we oughta clean up a bit, huh."

"We? I'm sorry, baby brother, I don't recall bein' the dumb ass who let the same broad get knocked up twice. Ya have fun with that though," Merle laughed from the couch as he watched Daryl get up and start to clean the kitchen area of the trailer. "And best you go to the store 'n fill that fridge with some real food! Ain't nothin' in there to eat, and ya can't be givin' no lil' ones beer and cereal to live off of."

"If you'd just chipped in sometimes, maybe it wouldn't always be so damn empty." Daryl mumbled under his breath as he picked up garbage from the floor near the couch.

Merle sat up on the couch, unfortunately his mumbles weren't low enough. "What ya say bout me now, Darylena?"

"Just think maybe this place would be a bit more decent and have a full fridge if ya helped me out a bit is all..." Daryl knew better then to argue with his older brother. Merle had been through a lot. Getting 'honorably' dispatched from the military was hard on him, so Daryl never bothered to ask his brother for a thing. "Now that we got the two kid's livin' with us 'n all, my bartendin' job ain't gonna really cut it."

"Get a new job then, 'n quit yer bitchin' boy. I didn't raise no chump. You got yerself into this, Darylena, I just told ya to handle it like a man." Merle laid back on the couch once more, and closed his eyes for a bit. Leaving Daryl to do all the cleaning himself.

He managed to clean up the small trail the best he could while his brother just laid there on the couch napping. By the time he was done it was already 2 o'clock. Daryl figured that would be just enough time to shower. He walked over to his sleeping brother and shook him away, "Ya just gon' lay there all day?"

"Nah. I'm goin' hunting with the boys. You have a nice time with yer ladies." Daryl watched as his brother hopped off the couch, gathered his this and headed out the front door.

"He would leave me." Daryl told himself out loud before jumping in the shower. He finished his showed and got dressed with a few minutes left to spare, so Daryl sat himself down on the couch, chewing on his thumb nail as he dozed off. As he sat there waiting impatiently for the girls to arrive, so many things ran through his mind as he sat there. Enjoying what very well might be his last few moments alone for a long time. What if they don't like it here? Fuck. What if I can't support them? Or if they don't like me? I'm not ready for this. Fuck. Ain't no one prepared me for something like this to happen... I don't no how to be a..

The sound of the door bell ringing pulled him out of his daze. Daryl got up from the couch and walked over to the door. When he looked through the peep hole he could see Andrea standing on his porch which a medium sized box in her hand; a little blue bow popping out behind her. He opened the door up, and little girl came out from behind Andrea. She had a smile on her face that stretch from ear to ear. Daryl swore he never saw a bigger smile in his whole life.

"Good afternoon, Daryl." Andrea greeted him with a smile, still her's was nothing to the one that kid had on her face.

"Hi.." Daryl couldn't get his eyes off this little girl. She didn't even say anything to him. All she had to do was smile and Daryl felt like she had him hooked around her little fingers. That's when he realized there was only one girl there. "Where's the other kid?"

"Alyssa has glee club after school till six." Andrea told him as she handed him the midsize box. "These are the personal items they were allowed to keep. Rest of it all is still in storage. If any of you ever need anything, don't hesitate to give me a call."

The little one pushed past Daryl to enter the trailer, turning around only for a second to wave goodbye, "Bye Ms. Andrea!" As quickly as Andrea waved goodbye back, the little girl turned around and walked more into the trailer.

"Good luck." Andrea gave Daryl a small nod before walking off his porch. Daryl closed the door behind him and then put the box down near the couch. When he looked up the kid had been sitting down on the couch staring at him.

Had she been a dog, she would of been wagging her tail off. "Where's our room?" Her blue seemed to twinkle as she stared at him. He was mesmerized by how much this girl looked like him. From her blues to her light brown hair. This twelve year old girl was naturally a happy soul, and for that Daryl thought himself lucky.

Oh shit forgot bout that... He totally forgot about the sleeping arrangements. Four people and only two beds, this is no good. "Oh yea.. uh I guess you two can share my bed for now. I'll just take the couch." That would work. It's only for a month, right?

"Okay!" The kid smiled. Well that was easy enough. Daryl picked the box off the floor and brought it into his room, the little one following close behind him. There wasn't much in the room to begin with. Just a full sized bed and a dresser. He was grateful he thought to clean, because it had been a disaster area only a few hours ago. The room was simple and boring in his eyes, nothing really person about it. Should fit two young girls just fine. He put the box down at the foot of the bed, watching as the little one jumped onto the bed and laid her body across it.

"Ya know, I don't even know yer name yet." Daryl admitted as he sat down on the bed, the kid getting up to sit down next to him.

"Momma named me Marie Annette Dixon." She smiled. Alyssa and Marie. My two daughter's.. holy shit I have daughters.

"Annette was yer momma's mom right?" Daryl remembered the old spanish woman from pictures.

"Yup, and Lyss was named after your mommy according to Momma. Alyssa Nichole Dixon." Marie responded as she she sat there kicking her feet back and forth. Can't believe Viv remember my old ladies name. After sitting there with Marie for a second time and getting a chance to really talk to her, was no way these kids weren't his now. This is real. It's really happening. I got a little girl sitting here who looks just like me. I'm a father. God lord...
