Baltimore Safe Zone
Chapter 10.
- What are we gonna do with the Nomads?- asked Glenn as he gave them a cup of coffee
- Pf.. I fucking don't know. It was so fucked up.. what Carol and me saw in that basement? It was hell- he said looking at his friends- I'm not gonna let them enter this place
Rick smiled at him
- Why the hell are you smiling?
- Carol is a good influence on you- said Rick drinking his coffee- And I don't really know what to do.. whatever we do, it's going to be hell. Like always… The Farm, the Prison, Alexandria….
- We have Carol- said Glenn smiling- What? It's true, she's like Rambo or something like that
- I don't want to put her in any danger, man. Not anymore. She saved our asses too many times in just two months- he said covering his face with his hands
- You want to protect her,man. But don't forget she won't let you stop her- said Rick- Maybe we could go away if this place falls.
- Go where man?- said Glenn- Maggie's pregnant… I don't want my baby moving around the United States forever. I want a house for my wife and baby. I want a house for Judith and Carl. I want a house to see the possible new baby of Carol and..
- Hey man! what the fuck?- he shouted in shock
- What? Don't tell me you wouldn't want a baby with her.. come on, imagine it- said Glenn smiling
- Fuck man, shut up- he said blushing and he looked at Rick who was looking at him with a smile
- Hey, let's talk about serious stuff- said Rick
Thank God, Rick didn't tell Glenn he is virgin…
…..
- How are you feeling, sweetie?- said Carol as she went to Maggie
Maggie was laying in the couch of their new flat. Glenn,Enid and her were sharing this one.
- Pf.. morning sickness, you know?- said Maggie closing her eyes
Carol kneeled next to her and gave her a cup of hot tea with some honey.
- It used to work for me.. when I was pregnant, I used to drink this and it'd help. So, drink it- she said and Maggie took it with a smile
- It's delicious- said Maggie- Thank you,Carol.. look I'm sorry..
- Why sweetheart?
- I never thanked you for saving us in Terminus and after that for saving us from the wolved- said Maggie with tears in her eyes- And I'm happy for you and Daryl.. Daddy used to say you both would end up together,you know?
- Hershel was a wise man- she said caressing Maggie's forehead
- He used to say.. that Daryl and you were soulmates. Beth used to say it too. God, she shipped you so bad. I'm sure Hershel and her are happy right now watching you both together and happy- said Maggie almost crying- Fucking hormones
- I'm sure they are happy in Heaven.. waiting for your kid to be born- said Carol kissing Maggie's head- Sleep, baby girl, sleep
…
- Hi babe- said Carol as she kissed his neck from behind
He was sitting in the couch looking at their table. He was shocked, Stevens has just told him some bad news and he didn't know how he was gonna tell her.
- Daryl?- she asked him- I know you don't like it when I call you babe but..
- It's not that- he said still looking at the table- Something happened.. you're not gonna like it.. it's about Nadia
She looked at him and he could see her whole face changing. She has sounded so happy just a moment ago
- She has gone away with Anthony.. alone- he said- No one knows where they have gone but it looked like they took a car.. I'm sorry Carol, I really am.
He looked at her and she was clearly trying not to cry, she was biting her lips so hard.
- Did she leave a note? anything?- she asked him
- No.. just that book you were reading to her- he told her
She moved away then, she looked at him one last time and she left their house.
Fuck.
….
Three days since Nadia and her brother had gone away. Three days since Carol hasn't talked to him or anyone from the family. Three fucking days.
- How is she?- asked Rick as he sat next to him in the tower.
- How the hell did you find me?- he asked him
- You can see the sea from here, it helps you think and people leave you alone here so..- said Rick showing him some cigarettes
- Do you smoke now?
- We are all gonna die, so.. why not?- said Rick
They stayed in silent for a bit and then, he sighed.
- She isn't talking to me, man… I don't know what to do. I know she's fucked up, I wanna bring Nadia back and fucking kill her for doing this to Carol.. Fucking girl. I told Carol everything would be okay, that it was okay to let her in.. and look now.. - he said punching the wall.
- Look.. it sucks. I know it sucks. But Carol will come back from this soon, that girl.. well, she is probably dead by now. So don't go to look for her. Stay here, stay here and help Carol. Just hug her or have dinner with her, Daryl- said Rick
- Okay.. but I swear if the girl comes back, I'm not gonna let her in again- he growled as he looked at the sea.
…..
- Hi sweetheart- he said as he looked at Carol
She was making some dinner and she was silent. She looked like she hasn't slept in days and he knew she hasn't slept with him.. she was sleeping in the couch.
- Hi Daryl- she said without looking at him
Well, at least she was talking. It was something.
- Hey look.. wanna.. mm.. sit here with me for a bit?- he said bitting his nails
- I'm making some dinner- she said
- I can see that, woman. Just come here and..
- Daryl, I'm okay, alright? I'm okay. I will be okay. That girl went away and she is probably dead. I don't care anymore- she said as she continued making dinner
- But.. sweetheart.. Carol- he said as he moved to her and he hugged her from behind- If everything is okay.. why do I feel like you are not here with me?
- I'm here, babe- she said
- Prove it- he whispered to her ear
She turned to him and she looked at him. She was almost crying. But she was here, she was his Carol.
- I'm just so tired.. I love them, I love kids so much.. but fuck, it kills me. It fucking kills me, Daryl! - she said as she tried to move away but he didn't let her. She was trapped between him and the kitchen counter
- I know, I know. But hey, we just need to take care of Jude and Carl, okay? Forget about the rest- he said and he leaned his forehead against hers.
- Okay- she said
- So.. wanna prove you're really with me?- he asked her looking at her lips and thrusting into her hips
- Now? You're turned on, now?- she asked him surprised
- Oh no sweetheart.. I've been like this since I met you for the first time- he said as he attacked her mouth without mercy.
To be continued… the next chapter will be hot ;)
