When Carol walked out of the bathroom daryl shot up from his spot on the bed and walked to her side.

"So...?"

"I.. uh.. Im.. Uh..- I'm sorry!" She cried falling to the ground in a giant heap.

"Hey, hey, Shh..." He cooed her, kneeling down and wrapping his arm around her waist. "It's not your fault cal..."

"Yes it is! It is my fault!" She yelled but made no move to leave his arms.

John came running up the stairs then and stopped short at the sight of Daryl holding a sobbing Carol in his arms.

"What's going on?"

"John... We have something I need to tell you" daryl said.

"No! No! No! Please no!" Carol cried.

"Tell me. No secrets. I won't be mad."

Daryl took a deep breath and said "carols pregnant"

John staggered back as if he'd been hit, "w-what..? SSShe's what?"

"Pregnant. I'm pregnant dad! So why don't you just kick us out now!" She cried.

"Cally... I'm not going to kick you out... I would never kick either of you out"

"B-but daddy... Im..."

"I know cally, but I'm not leaving you, you will be a wonderful mother and daryl, you will be a great father. Don't worry, we will do this"

"R-really?"

"Of corse, now come here" he said, opening his arms for an expected hug.

She stood up and hugged him tight.

"So I made an appointment for you on September 3rd"

"thank you daddy"

"We all will go. It's at 10:45. Your going to miss school. Tell your teachers that you have a dr appointment ok?"

She just nodded and finished her breakfast. This Tuesday morning was going better than she had hoped, her father wasn't mad at her and Daryl was staying.

"So dad... I was thinking... Maybe I could take the drivers test soon, I've had my permit for a while and..."

"Ya ok. I'll take you on Friday when I get home, I've got a trip to New York, but it's only a few days" he said, sipping his coffee. "You be ok here with Daryl?"

"Totally..." She smiled.

Just then Daryl came down the stairs dressed with his school bag in hand.

"Ready ta go?"

She stood up and kissed his cheek, "yep, bye dad, will you be home today?"

"No, I'm leaving at nine"

She nodded and walked out the front door to wait for the bus.

"Where's john goin?"

"New York. He'll be back Friday, got a Dr.'s appointment on the 3rd, so a week from tomorrow, ok?"

He nodded.

The bus pulled up and they jumped in, taking a seat together right in front.

"Hey Rose" Carol smiled at the driver.

"How you been this fine morning miss Carol?"

"Been good"

"And you daryl?"

"Good ma'am"

She put the bus in gear and sped off, after two more stops for kids, rose suddenly screamed and swerved the bus wheel.

The next this Carol felt was a sharp pain and then black.

When daryl came to it was quiet, to quiet to be on the bus, he lifted his head as noted that if felt as if his head weighed 10 tons. He groaned and looked around, seeing that the bus was in it's side he turned to his right to look at the bloody faces of the other kids on the bus. They he looked to the left an was met with carols unconscious form.

"C-carol..." He wheezed out, then coughed at the smoke around them, he wanted to move and help her, but his arms were pinned by something.

"Carol!" He said, louder. Once again getting no reaction he just screamed.

"Help! Help! Carol! Please wake up baby... Tell me you're ok! Please!"

Nothing.

Then he heard the sirens and let out a huge breath.

"Help! Help please!"

They firefighters came on first, looking for anyone that was conscious, they spotted daryl quickly.

"Help! Please..." He coughed again.

"Hey kid, why dontcha tell me yer name"

"Dddarrryl"

"Ok daryl, what hurts most?"

"No! No! Please! Help my girlfriend!"

"We're gonna help your girlfriend, but we need to help you first"

Daryl looked around and saw that the others where being carried out.

"N-noo you don't understand! She's pregnant! Please!"

The firefighters face changed and he moved to check carols pulse.

"She's alive, but we need to get you out to get to her ok?"

Daryl nodded, "wwwhen you get mme ouutt wiilll I bee aaabllee to see hhherrr?"

"I'll keep you together" he said, placing a neck brace on both daryl and Carol before pushing the seat in front of him forward.

The EMTs helped daryl out on a stretcher and placed him in the triage tent.

"Cccarrroll..." The EMT nodded and went back inside the bus.

While he waited he felt someone else come up and tend to him, he didn't know what was wrong with him, nor did he care that his moment, he just wanted to make sure carol

was ok. He felt a sudden sharp pain in his upper left stomach.

"God damnit!" He cursed threw clenched teeth.

"Tell me what hurts" the EMT said.

"Mmmy... My... Stomach... Left... Side... Where's... Carol..."

"She's coming right now, just calm down and let me lift your shirt please"

She lifted his shirt and saw the deep purple bruising.

"Looks like broken ribs. Are they digging into your lungs? Can you breath ok?"

He took a painful breath and nodded, they hurt but not like they were touching his lungs directly. He turned and saw two paramedics carrying a still unconscious carol out.

"Ccarol... Carol..." He whispered as loud as he could.

"She's fine, let's worry about you"

"No... I can't... You gotta check her..."

"She's next, now tell me about we while i set your arm ok. You have a broken wrist"

"S-she's my girlfriend... A-and we live... We live with her dad... But he's going oout of t-ttowwn... You gootttaa check her... She's... She's pregnant... Please you gotta..." He couldn't even talk to her anymore. But she got it and walked over to carol just as Daryl fell unconscious.

xXx

When Carol opened her eyes she felt like she was paralyzed, numb everywhere and unable to even move, slowly the feeling came back to her and she saw the female EMT hovering over her, wrapping something over her knee, the knee that had healed only a few weeks ago.

She groaned at the pain in her knee cap and shifted on the... Table? She wasn't sure.

The EMT came over to her face now.

"Hey sweetheart... Can you tell me your name?"

"C..Ccarol.. My names carol..."

"Ok good, can you tell me what hurts Carol? Your stomach feeling ok?"

She nodded and said, "m-my knee hurts a lot... And my head... But my stomachs fine... It's fine... The- oh god... Daryl? Is he ok? Daryl!"

"He's fine, right here, just fell asleep, worried about you" she pointed to the table next to hers and Carol took a deep breath.

"Now, let me just check things out ok. Your pregnant right?"

Carol nodded.

"How far along?"

"I'm not sure, I've got an appointment to see all that stuff on the 3rd..."

"Well, everything looks ok, let's get you two to the hospital to get really checked out, I'll keep you together"

"T-thank you..." She said, feeling groggy and sleepy.

"Keep these two together, and get them to mercy, she's knocked up, his kid, keep em close" was the last thing she heard before falling back.

"Hello?" John answered the phone angrily, he was late for the plane as it is, and he needed to not have to deal with anyone right now.

"is this John baker?"

He sighed, "yes, what?"

"and are you the care givers for..." He hesitated like he was reading a name, "Carol baker, and... Daryl Dixon?"

"I am. What's this about?"

"there was an accident this morning, both children are ok, they are at mercy general"

Johns car stopped dead center in the road, "I'm coming, I won't be there for about an hour, but I'm coming, and could you call Merle Dixon?"

"yes sir"

"Thank you"

He hung up and spun the car around, spreading toward the hospital and saying fuck to his job.
