Carol woke up in bed to find that she was alone. Daryl must have already gotten up, she glanced at Judith's crib, and had taken Judith with him. She smiled when she thought of the night before, his eyes had practically bugged out of his head when she had taken her shirt and bra off. She rubbed her fingers over the bite mark on her breast, who would of thought Daryl Dixon would have been a biter. She grabbed her shirt and bra from underneath Daryl's pillow where he had put them last after refusing to give them back to her.

He couldn't seem to get enough of her breasts. So in addition to being a biter he was also a boob man. She had a hard time getting him stop at just that. She wasn't about to risk him pulling the stiches out and injuring his shoulder. Although if she were being completely honest, it just wasn't about that. She was a little worried about taking things further with him. She had only ever been with Ed and she was worried that she wouldn't be enough for him. He had probably been with a lot of women.

She shook her head to shake of the negative thoughts. She couldn't allow herself to think that way. She loved Daryl and she was sure Daryl loved her even though neither one of them has said it out loud. She decided not to think about it right now. There would be plenty of time for that later.

She opened the door to find Maggie stirring a pot on the stove. Judith was sitting on the floor playing with her cat. "Hey." She said. "Try this." She said holding out a spoon to Carol's mouth.

She took the bite. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great either. "Mmm." She said.

"It's no good is it?" her face practically fell and she looked like she was about to cry.

"No. It's good." She said trying to reassure the pregnant woman. "It just needs a little seasoning that's all."

"What should I put in it?" she asked frowning.

"There's some salt and pepper in that cabinet." She said pointing above the stove. "Where is everyone?" she asked as Maggie shook the salt and pepper into the mixture on the stove.

"Glenn is in the bathroom shaving that awful beard. And Daryl and Merle are out on the porch."

Carol glanced at the door. "They been out their long?" she was hoping their talk was going well.

"About ten minutes maybe. I haven't heard any yelling so I guess it's going pretty good." She said as she had read Carol's mind.

Maggie winced and rubbed her stomach.

"Are you okay?" asked Carol stepping closer to her and putting hand on her arm.

"Yeah. I'm fine. This little started kicking and he just got me in the ribs." She said continuing to rub her stomach.

"He?" asked Carol.

"Glenn thinks it's a boy. But I think it's girl." She said smiling. "Do you want to feel?"

Carol nodded her head. Maggie took her hand placed it on her stomach. It took a minute but the baby gave a sharp kick against Carol's hand. It gave her a since of longing and she hated to admit it but twinge of jealously. She could still remember what it felt to have Sophia moving around in her stomach. That was something that she would never have again. She was too old to get pregnant. And who knew if Daryl would even want a child. She shook her head they hadn't even had sex yet and she was considering if she could have a child with him.

"Have you thought of any names?" she asked.

"Well actually—." She began about the time the door shot open and Daryl and Merle came with Merle yelling that he was starving and wanted to know if breakfast was ready.

Carol smiled at Maggie. "Why don't you get Glenn and I'll start dishing this out."

Maggie nodded at her and walked toward the bathroom.

After everyone had a bowl they settled in the living to eat. They talked about where they were going to go once they left the safe house. It was decided that they would head for the prison first to see if anyone had come back there and maybe left a sign of where they had gone. The would do the same at the safe houses. After that they weren't sure what they would do if they didn't find any sign of them. They five of them had run into each other by chance. What are the odds were of find the others the same way?

When they were done eating, Carol picked up Judith with the attention of changing her diaper and getting her cleaned up. She seemed to be wearing more of her breakfast than what had made it to her mouth.

"Can I do it?" asked Maggie. "I want to practice." She said.

"Great idea." Said Carol. She handed Judith over to her and watched as she carried her to the bathroom followed closely by Glenn.

"I'm gonna make sure the car is filled with gas." Said Merle as he headed out the door.

They had packed up what supplies they were taking with them last night. They just had to be loaded into the car. Carol made a move to pick up one of the boxes when she felt a tug on her arm. She turned around to see Daryl smirking at her.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Come here." She said pulling her towards the bedroom.

"But we need to—." She began.

"Hush. I gotta show ya something 'fore we leave." He said as he pulled her into the room and shut the door.

Before she could asked what he wanted she felt her back pressed against the wall and his lips covering hers.

Don't hate me for ending it there. There will a little smut in the next chapter to make up for it.
