A/N: Sorry everyone! I've been really busy with a lot of things. Don't really want to go into details. Now however, I am jobless, pregnant, and Directvless...lol...so I will now have plenty of time to write. I haven't worked on this story in a long time so I just quickly put together a short chapter to occupy you guys while I get my head back into the game. Thanks for being patient and I hope I still have some readers out there. I know where I'm going with this story, I just have to get there. Thanks again and enjoy :) Please R&R It motivates me :D
I had no idea how I was going to bring this up. I don't think I'd ever wanted anything more in my life than for Daryl to move in and for us to be a happy family like we should have been from the beginning. I walked into the diner and spotted him toward the back in our old booth. I smiled to myself and headed his direction. "Hey beautiful," Daryl stood and gave me a hug. When we sat down I started to tear up a little. Daryl reached over and wiped the tears from my face. "What's wrong darlin? Why ya cryin?" I shrugged my shoulder and decided honesty was the best course to take.
"I love you Daryl. I'm not even mad bout ya leavin me. From the moment I saw you at the funeral I knew I wanted to be with you. I want to start our family. I want to spend the rest of my life you." I paused to gauge his reaction to my words. I knew he was no good with the whole feelings thing. I watched him as he nervously wrung his hands and sighed as his thumb made its way to its normal hang out when he was uncomfortable, his mouth. Oh God, that mouth, what I wouldn't give to have it all over me. I realized I was staring, but so was he, I didn't really know what else to say, though I knew he was waiting for me to continue.
Just as I was about to try to stutter out the question burning in the back of my throat he removed his thumb from that gorgeous mouth and took my hand. "I love you too Ozzy. I wanna start our family too. I think we should start looking fer an apartment or something. I'm not saying we need ta move in together tomorrow, but soon. I wanna be there for you, and my son. I want to make up fer lost time. I just don't know where ta start." He looked at me helplessly. I smiled at him and the tenseness in his face seemed to ease up. He had just made what I was here to say that much easier to get out.
"Oh Daryl, that is one of the reasons I wanted ta talk to ya. I had a talk with Amy today; she said it was ok if I asked you to move in with us. Temporarily, of course, until we know how Malaki is gonna take it. Then we could start lookin into gettin somethin of our own. Does that sound ok?" I had been looking down at my hands while all this poured from my mouth. I dared to look up and meet his eyes as I felt a sheepish grin cover my face when I saw how happy he looked, there were tears in his eyes. I knew he'd never let them fall so I reached over and wiped them away. "Well, what do you think? We can go get some of your stuff and move it in today if you want. I'm honestly not plannin on pickin Malaki up till at least tomorrow."
Once Daryl had gotten ahold of himself he nodded. "Sounds good baby girl, sounds real good. Then I wanna take ya out, ta celebrate. Is that ok with you?" When I didn't answer right away he looked up and into my eyes. "If ya would rather stay in thats fine too. I just figured with the boy ya don't really get out much. Figured it would be nice with everything thats happened the lass couple a days for ya to be able ta get out and let loose a little." I thought about it. Although it would probably be a little awkward to be seen out in public with Daryl when only a couple of people knew Shane and I were over, I figured it would happen sooner or later anyway, might as well get it over with.
"Sure, Daryl, I would like that. I wanna get super wasted. I hope you're ready to take care of me." I giggled. Daryl breathed a sigh of relief. I quickly texted Amy and made sure she wouldn't be home tonight. She replied, it seemed, as soon as I had pressed send. "We can go back to my place tonight, Amy will be at her sister's place. She will be house sitting for a little while, so we'll have the house to ourselves. So what time do ya wanna head out tonight?" He thought about it for a couple minutes before he answered.
" I'll pick ya up around 8? That sound aight?" We finalized our plans and then had a quick lunch. When we were finished I explained that I needed to go home, shower, and prepare myself for tonight. I seriously had no idea what to wear, it had been so long since I had gone out anywhere besides to a restaurant or movie. I gave Daryl a quick kiss and pulled away before it could deepen or go any further. We walked out to the parking lot together. As I got myself situated in my Jeep and was about to pull out I was captivated when I saw Daryl taking off on his motorcycle. I swear being that damn sexy should be illegal, it could cause an accident. I hurried home, already getting nervous about tonight.
