A/N: This chapter is kind of all over the place but that's how it came out. Yes, Maggie is a bitch but I will not be killing her.
Thank y'all for all the reviews, favorites and follows.
Let me know what y'all think!
Chapter 10
Beth-
"Ya wanna go on a run?" Daryl asked me.
"Um...Really? I've never been on one."
"Well, yer goin' now."
"I am? Why?"
"'Cause ever'one else is busy. I asked yer daddy an' Rick. C'mon."
"We're goin' right now?"
"Yeah, so get yer shit."
I was completely shocked. I've never been on a run. I don't even know how to shoot a gun or use a knife to kill a walker.
While Daryl waited for me to get a bag, Carol came in to get Wyatt.
"I'm gonna watch him for y'all," she hugged me, "Be safe and stay right with Daryl."
We walked outside and he got on his motorcycle.
"We're goin' on that?"
"Get on. I ain't waitin' all day."
Great one more thing for me to be nervous about. I've never been on a motorcycle.
"Where are we goin'?"
He didn't answer and I didn't ask again.
We finally pulled up to a small rundown store. It was out of the way of any major roads so it probably wasn't cleared out of any supplies.
Daryl went in first with his crossbow up and I followed closely.
Once the place was cleared he motioned for me to follow him.
He stopped and looked at a claw machine that was filled with stuffed animals before bustin' the glass out with his crossbow.
He pulled out two stuffed animals and put them in his bag.
"One's fer Wyatt an' one's fer Asskicker," he explained.
"Oh. Did you know Rick and Carl named her Judith?"
"Yeah."
We split up to look for supplies. I went to the small baby section but I'm not sure where Daryl went.
"This place has been cleaned out. There's no formula or baby food or anythin'," I told him.
"Keep lookin'."
I looked over several shelves and grabbed what I could.
By the time I found Daryl, my bag was full.
"Well, this section hasn't been cleaned out," I said.
Daryl smirked and picked up a box.
I raised an eyebrow, "What're those for?"
"Peace offerin'," he said and stuffed several boxes into his bag.
"You're gonna bribe my sister with condoms?"
"Whatever works. Last thing we need is another kid ta take care of an' tha way her an' Glenn are goin' at it, there'll be one."
I smiled and shook my head. "No argument there but I don't think she's changed her mind about anythin' in the last 48 hours."
He shrugged. "Here fill this up with whatever y'all need." He handed me a bag and motioned to the next aisle. I looked up to see 'Feminine Hygiene' on the sign above it.
Daryl-
"Who tha hell told ya I'd take Wyatt?" I asked 'er again.
"I told you it doesn't matter who."
"It does matter 'cause they're tha fuckin' reason I didn't get ta see my son."
She looked up from tha shelf. "If you had of been at your house when I came by, what would you have said to me? What would you have done?"
"Fuck, I don't know. Ain't never had a kid."
"You probably would have told me to get lost or somethin'. Am I right?"
I shrugged an' kept lookin' 'round but I saw 'er roll 'er eyes.
"Why'd you ask me to come with you?"
"Needed help."
She walked off an' looked through a few nearby racks of clothes.
"Why'd ya lie ta me at tha farm?"
"Daryl, I want you to be in Wyatt's life. I ain't stoppin' you now but we don't have to be friends or whatever. We don't have to talk."
"Maggie get to ya?"
Tha look she gave me could've killed me.
"No, but we don't have to be friendly or anythin'. I know plenty of people who's parents weren't together and they only spoke to each other when they had to."
"That tha way ya want things?"
"What other way is there, Daryl? You'll never forgive me for not tellin' you about him and Maggie's not gonna change her mind anytime soon. It's better if we don't try to pretend we get along. The only time we need to talk is when it's somethin' about Wyatt. That's it."
"Aight then. Have it yer way."
Beth-
I know there was no need to act that way towards him. He just wanted to know but I couldn't tell him.
I felt like shit then and I feel even worse now. I know he hates me so there's no reason to pretend we get along. I'm not gonna stop him from being around Wyatt and I'm not gonna let anyone else stop him. That should be good enough.
We finished gettin' what we could and then left. Neither one of us spoke until we got back to the prison.
"Look, there's mama," Carol told Wyatt when we walked up.
He reached for me and I kissed him.
"Can you take him to Daryl? He got somethin' for him," I asked her.
She nodded and I continued into the prison.
"You were happy when you left. Now you look like you've been kicked in the stomach," Maggie said, "Did he do somethin' to you or say somethin'?"
I threw my bag down, "What the fuck is wrong with you, Maggie? What do you have against him?"
She looked over to daddy and Rick, they both raised their hands and shook their heads.
"Don't bring them into this, Maggie. You've been actin' like a bitch since the day I told you I was pregnant. So, what is it? You want a kid or somethin'? No matter what I do, I can't make everyone happy and I'm through with tryin'."
She stood there starin' at me.
Daryl-
I'd been talkin' ta Glenn, Carol an' Carl when Wyatt started fussin'.
Wyatt liked his stuffed animal but it didn't stop 'im from cryin'. I wanted ta give Asskicker her stuffed animal, too.
We all decided ta go inside an' look through tha stuff me an' Beth got.
Jus' as we walked in, Beth knocked tha shit outta Maggie.
Glenn took off after Maggie an' I gave Wyatt back ta Carol so I could get Beth but Hershel an' Rick stopped us.
"I've been watchin' this since day one and I've been waitin' for Bethie to break down," Hershel said, "let her and Maggie work this out on their own."
Them fightin' jus' made Wyatt cry worse so I took 'im ta Beth's cell.
If Hershel didn't want us ta stop 'em, I wasn't gonna try.
Not long after that Beth came in with 'er face bloodied an' it was startin' to swell up.
"Can you keep him tonight?" She asked.
"Yeah. What tha fuck was that about?"
She shook 'er head an' started wipin' 'er face off.
"Aight then. I'ma be on watch so I'll go 'head an' carry 'is stuff out there."
I handed Wyatt back to Beth an' walked out.
After what jus' happened, I wanted ta talk ta Maggie alone.
