Just so you know

Chapter 11

He woke up before her, he couldn't sleep. They made love twice that night and he felt so nervous about the idea of the wedding. He was scared people would laugh at him or that she would escape. It was ridiculous because she was already his wife but still, he was scared.

He got up carefully so he would not wake her, she deserved a break. The woman hasn't stopped in the last days, always taking care of everyone but her. She was so generous and patient. He remembers a week in the prison, just after Merle kids and their parents got sick, Hershel said it was food poisoning. She took care of all of them several days,she was always busy and he couldn't talk to her those days. He remembers going away with Michonne for one day and when they came back to the prison, he couldn't find her anywhere. He found her asleep in the infirmary, she looked like shit and she didn't wake up not even when he took her in his arms so he could take her to her cell. She asked him the next day if he knew how she has ended in her cell but he didn't tell her. He was so confused about his feelings for her those days.. He felt so much for her and he has never felt like this

Mm.. Where are you going?- she asked him

Shit, I was trying not to wake you- he said caressing her forehead. She was so sleepy she couldn't open her eyes

Mm...

I'm going hunting and to talk to Ezekiel.. you still want to marry me?- he asked her

Yeah.. Tell Maggie I need a cute dress- she said and then she was asleep again

He laughed at her, that woman was able to fall asleep so fast if she wasn't worried.

…...

Are you guys free tonight?- he asked as he went to Rick's house

Good morning, brother- said Rick- Look Jude, your uncle Daryl is here and I hope he has good news- he said while giving Jude her food

Carol and me.. we're going to marry tonight,it's going to be something small..- he said biting his nails and looking at Michonne who was playing cards with Carl in the dining room

Finally! I told you they would do it soon- said Michonne going to kiss Rick

Happy to hear that- said Rick- Anything you need? We'll be there

Nah.. I have to go to Maggie's, Carol wants a dress- he said as he left them in the house.

…...

It's so beautiful- she said caressing the dress Maggie has given to him- Touch it, Daryl.

It's cool

Just cool? I'm going to marry you in this dress- she said- Come on touch it

I'll touch it tonight- he whispered into her ear and she laughed kissing him

He continued kissing her but then she broke the kiss pushing him away.

What's wrong?

You can't see the bride before the wedding- she said pushing him away from their room- Go with Rick or Aaron

Are you serious?

Deadly serious- she said closing the door in his face and he could hear her laughing like crazy

…...

Are you ready?- asked Rick – Come on man, it's just a tie. Put it on.

Why the fuck do I need to wear this shit?

God, Daryl.. I hope you don't talk like that during the wedding- said Aaron

Carol won't be surprised – he said as he looked at his shirt

He has cleaned all he could, he was wearing some jeans and a new shirt with sleeves. He wasn't going to put a tie on it. He would feel trapped in that shirt.

Who's going to be your godfather?- asked Aaron trying to brush his hair

Do I need one?

Yeah.. and if you have kids and all, too- said Aaron- Woah you didn't flinch when I mentioned kids, something you want to tell us?

We.. have talked about it- he said looking away- We wouldn't mind having one

Ohh I can imagine a little Dixon with a little crossbow- said Aaron – I'm going to see Eric

He saw Aaron going away and he noticed Rick looking at him in a strange way.

What?

Just.. If anyone would have told me in the farm this... I'm happy for you brother and for her too- said Rick- I'm sorry.. I'm still sorry for separating you when I sent her away..

Yeah, I'm sorry you did that but hey, it's okay- he said- I want you to be that thing, godfather? But fucking promise me you will take care of Carol if something happens to me

You'll be okay- said Rick- And you know I will, I love you both. You're my family.

Yeah..- he said

Let's do this, my friend- said Rick

…...

Ezekiel was waiting for them. He looked so weird, he was wearing a suit or something like that.

Ready, hunter?- asked Ezekiel

Yeah

Of course he was. He knew his fate was to be with Carol forever. He still remembers the first time he saw her. She was talking to Sophia while fucking Ed was just.. being Ed. He remembers her going to him with a bottle of water

Hi, I saw you were hunting and I thought you'd be thirsty, please take this- she said giving him the bottle

I don't need it- he growled at her

I know- she smiled- Just.. take it, okay? You're.. Daryl,right?

Yeah- he growled still not looking at her face

I'm Carol- she said and then he looked at her to tell her he didn't fucking care about her name or that bottle of water.

The problem was.. he looked at her eyes and he couldn't talk. He accepted the bottle of water, feeling something weird in his chest. He didn't know he just met the love of his life

He smiled at that memory. She was always so gentle with him even when no one looked at him with respect. Just her. The first one.

Oh my dear, you look so beautiful- said Ezekiel and they all turned to looked at Carol who just entered the room with Maggie and Tara by her side

And fuck, she did look beautiful. She was wearing a long blue dress, so elegant. She was showing her cleavage but it wasn't too much and she had a tiara in her hair and a little make up in her eyes. She was so blue.. and he couldn't stop smiling at her. She looked like a fairy and her eyes was glowing, she was glowing

Mr Dixon- she said taking his hand and looking at Ezekiel and Rick

Ready?- asked Ezekiel looking at all of them and looking at the rest of the people, some people from Elysium and the rest of their family- My dear family, we have reunited here to celebrate the love of our friends, Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier. We all have seen how strong and powerful is their love. Their bond is an unique one. I remembered the first time I saw you , both of you. Carol just come back and you were here, my friend- said Ezekiel looking at him- and I saw with all my delight, how you both ran to the other, not caring about anyone else. You were lost in your own world. We were in the middle of an attack and you just ran and hugged like you haven't seen each other in ages and that my dear friends, it's true love. Eternal love

Everyone smiled at that and he blushed because he noticed everyone looking at him and Carol. But then he looked at her and she winked at him and he saw she was blushing too.

I'm going to say my favourite quote of my favourite film, if you forgive me- said Ezekiel smiling at all of them- "The world moves for love, it kneels before it in awe". And your love my friends, I bow at your love- said Ezekiel- Come on, someone give me the rings

We don't...

Here- said Rick winking at them

Fantastic, thank you sheriff- said Ezekiel laughing- Daryl,do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?

I do- he said shaking and putting the ring in her finger

And you, my dear Carol- said Ezekiel- do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?

I do- she said almost crying and giving him his ring. They continued holding hands after that and he smiled at her.

I now pronounce you husband and wife- said Ezekiel- You may kiss the bride

And he kissed her so hard that she almost fell. He kissed her in front of their family and friends, he kissed her again and again while everyone laughed and whistled at them.
