"Darylllllll... Pleasssseee will you dress up with me!" Carol giggled as she came out of the bathroom with the black t-shirt with the rub cage and two little baby skeletons on it. Both wearing a bow on it's head. "It's not like I'm making you trick or treat! Just give out candy with me!"
Daryl sighed and looked at her, "well, I guess, watcha want me to wear?"
"Yes!" She jumped excitedly and ran to the small wooden dresser pulling out a black t-shirt and holding it up for him.
He like at the shirt, just a black t-shirt that had the words "Real Men Make Twins"
"Alright, I suppose I could wear that, not much of a costume, but alright"
It was Halloween night, and john was out going with his friend jim, but he insisted on taking way to many pictures in carols opinion.
"Ok, just one more" he said, snapping another picture of daryl holding her small belly.
"Ok ok ok, enough dad, go! Go out with Jim, get drunk, have fun! Please leave!" Carol complained, pushing her father out the door.
Carol and daryl sat on the couch watching horror movies and cuddling, only getting up when the doorbell rang and she had to give out candy.
"Trick or treat!" Two little girls called as she pulled the door open.
A little blonde girl had on a puffy pink dress with a crown and a magic wand.
And the little brunet had on a checkered blue and white dress with sparkly red heels.
"Oh! You must be Dorothy! And you must be the good which! How cute! Take as much as you girls want" Carol told them with a smile, holding out the bowl of candys, the older man and woman behind them smiled and took the girls hands as they walked away.
One day, the thought, my kids will be dressing up for Halloween and that will be me and daryl taking then trick or treating. She smiled to herself as she watched then walk away.
"Say thank you mags, bethy"
"Thank you!" They called.
"Happy Halloween!"

At thanks giving carols 18 week pregnant stomach was only getting bigger.
Carol sat on the couch in Daryl's lap, while he nuzzled his face into her belly.
He was talking to the "lil whoop's" as he called them.
The knock at the door had Daryl pulling his face away from her belly and standing up, holding a hand out to pull her up.
"Coming!" She called as they walked to the door.
"Happy thanksgiving!" Mary called when the door sprung open.
Carol laughed and said it back, taking the bowl of stuffing from her arms and handing it to Daryl.
She hugged her grandmother first, next she hugged Amy and greeted her boyfriend, then she moved onto Andrea and her girlfriend Michonne, last of all was josh who got a tight hug, which he did not return with full force,
"Ya hug to hard and that kid is gonna pop out now kid" he laughed ruffling the hair on her head.
Once everyone got settled at the table Mary looked excitedly at Carol.
"So I know you know what we're having... Tell us!"
"Were having... twin girls" she grinned looking around at the faces of the people she loved.
"That's wonderful! Oh I'm so happy for you! You're going to be a wider full mother" Andrea called smiling and holding Michonnes hand, whom Carol got a smile from and a small nod.

"Carol! Please get down!" Daryl yelled when he came into the living room to find Carol on top on the ladder putting lights around the room.
"I'm fine, I wanna get these lights up, the tree's all done and we have these extra light that just need to be used"
"Fine, I'll do it then, please just get down" he said, stepping closer to her and wrapping his hands around her waist.
"Ugh! I guess..." She grumbled.
She went to set off the ladder and slipped, falling back and landing hard on Daryl. He fell back and slammed his head into the hard wood floor.
Carol stayed still on top of Daryl, having the wind knocked out of her. Once she got find it in her to move again she rolling off of him, holding her belly tightly and turned back to Daryl, whom was unconscious, bleeding from his head.
"Oh my god... Oh my god! Dad! Daddy!" She screamed, crying and holding his was trying to stop the bleeding.
"Daddddyyy!" She screamed.
John came running in a moment later, "what's wrong ca- what happened?" He asked, running over and dialing 911.
"I-I wass... Was... On the... The later.. And... And he said... He said that he wanted... Me to get... Down... B-but I... I slipped.. And he... He caught me... But then... When... When I got up... He was all..." She broke into uncontrollable sobs and John spoke into the phone.
The paramedics showed within only a few minutes but it felt like hours as Carol sobbed and rocked holding Daryl's head.
"C-can you fix him... Please... I can't... You gotta... Please..." She was visibly shaking and sobbing, almost to the point where she was choking on her own tears.
"We're going to do everything that we can, but we need you to back up"
Carol nodded and with johns help stood up, revealing her 6 month pregnant belly.
"Carol. Carol look at me. I need you to calm down ok? This, all this stress is bad for the baby and I need you to calm down, you have to ok? Carol do you hear me?" John said, holding her shoulders tightly and waving a hand in her face.
John then turned to the paramedics that were lifting Daryl onto the stretcher.
"You can follow us close, ok?" The man said and john nodded, gripping carols hand he dragged her into the car, her breathing still labored and drove behind the hospital.

"Dad..." Carol whispered suddenly, they'd been waiting in the waiting room of the hospital for at least an hour and she'd been silent since they got there.
"What cally?"
"What if he... I don't know..." She shook her head and buried her face into her fathers chest.
"He's gonna be fine cally, just got a bump on the head..."
She nodded making no sound or move to leave his chest.
"The hell's goin on!?" Merle shouted, rushing in the room, causing Carol to jump into a sitting position.
"Jesus mouse, ya look like shit" he said. Coming to her side he lifted her chin and saw the red puffy eyes. "John, explain ta me exactly what the hell happened" he said, not taking his eyes off Carol.
"It-it's all my fault! It's all my fault!" She cried and he pulled her into a crushing hug.
"Carol fell off the ladder and landed on Daryl, he hit his head and passed out, it was pretty bad."
"Ain't nothing your fault mousy... It's gonna be just fine"
"Dixon?" The Dr called.
The three stood immediately and Merle wrapped an arm around her waist both protectively and helpfully, for her to stay standing and keep her balanced over the enormous belly.
"He's ok, right...?" She asked hesitantly.
The doctor said nothing for a long moment, just stood shaking his head.
"I'm sorry to tell you this..."
"Oh my god..." Carol whimpered almost silently.
"Daryl has been admitted to the hospital and is in a coma"
"H-he what?" Merle asked and he felt Carol begin the crumble in his arms.
"Oh my god... Oh my god... Oh my god..." She whispered, over and over. "It's all my fault... This... This is all my fault..."
"Carol. This isn't your fault..." John moved to hold his daughter.
"It is... This is all my fault... Oh my god..."
"Come on now mousy... It ain't your fault... Just a damn accident... And ya know... People... People, they wake up from these damn thing all the time..." Merle's voice trailed off, not knowing what else to say. His baby brother, all locked up in his own head, no waking up, for now at least.
"Would you like to see him?" The doctor asked.
John and Merle both nodded, pulling an only half aware carol toward the room and sitting her in the bed.
Carol looked at him, laying in the bed, he looked so peaceful, just like he did every morning when she woke up and watched him sleep, he looked at ease, calm, she almost wanted him to sleep, but then she thought about it more, and this could mean that he might sleep forever, that she might have these baby's while he was fast asleep in some coma dream.
