Somebody To Die For

Chapter 21


Karen looked shocked for a minute as she looked at Daryl. "You can't be serious... right? You can't kick me out of here."

"I think he just did," Rick said firmly.

"Please, I can't survive out there on my own." She pleaded as they all shoved her into a car with a few supplies.

"Then you shouldn't have hurt Bailey." Rowan said calmly.

She looked at them and begged to stay, but no one argued in her favour. Instead, they quiet happily let her leave.

Karen got in the car furious, and immediately started to plan her revenge on that bitch.


Bailey woke up to see she was in bed with Aoife sleeping beside her as Daryl came in with a tray with breakfast on it and kissed her gently.

"Morning." She said softly.

"Good mornin', sweetheart," he said softly, as he climbed onto the bed next to her. "How are ya feelin' this morning?"

"A lot better than I did last night, I'm sorry for worrying you." She said softly as she tucked into her breakfast when she saw Rose, Dylan and their pets come in.

"Hey guys," she said softly as they climbed up on the bed next to her. "Everyone doing OK this morning?"

"We're fine, Bailey," Dylan said, smiling at her. "Are you OK?"

"I'm much better thank you." She said warmly as she saw Pebbles walk over to her and curl on her lap before he fell asleep purring.

"He likes you all." Rose said smiling.

"I'm glad," Bailey said as she stroked the cat gently. "I like him too," she added with a smile. She looked down at Aoife before looking up at Daryl. "She OK? I had her in my arms when I fell."

"She's fine." Daryl assured her as they saw Smokey and Monty come in along with Maggie, Emma and Katy.

"Hey guys," Maggie said with a smile as they all sat down. "How y'all doing?"

"We're fine, how are you and Glenn." Bailey asked warmly as they saw Emma cuddle Smokey while Katy cuddled Monty.

"We're good, Rick and Daryl kicked out Karen." Maggie said softly.

Bailey looked up at Daryl and smiled softly as she stroked his stubbly cheek. "Thank you."

"Ain't gotta thank me, I'd do anythin for ya," he said as he ate one of the strawberries from his plate.

She smiled at him as she tucked into her eggs and saw Anna come in with Judith who happily waved at all of them.

"Jude!" Aoife cried happily.

"The terrible two have been reunited," Daryl laughed, as Anna helped Judith up onto the bed so she could play with Aoife.

They all smiled as they watched Judith and Aoife play happily while Ben sniffed at them before lightly licking them when one of the wolves came in.

The wolf jumped onto the bed and sat beside Daryl who stroked him gently as the wolf snuggled into all of them.

"What should we call him?" Rose asked softly.

"What about Lupo?" Bailey suggested as she reached out to stroke the wolf's soft fur. "It means wolf in Italian," she added with a faint smile.

"I like it, Lupo it is." Daryl said smiling as they all went downstairs and Bailey helped Carol with the washing up.

"We found a pet store." Sam told Dylan.

Dylan smiled. "That's good. Hopefully it has lots of food and toys and things for the animals," he said happily.

Sam nodded. "Merle and Glenn have gone to check it out right now," he added.

Dylan smiled as they all went to play.


"We can't leave the animals here, Merle." Glenn told him.

Merle sighed. "I know, but we can't keep bringing new animals and people into our home. Sure the house is big enough, and we have enough supplies right now, but what happens if someone takes our supplies? How do we keep everyone fed and warm? And what happens if we got run out of the house again. It means we gotta take 'em all on the road with us, and find somewhere that's big enough for everyone. We'll take these ones back, but after that, that's gotta be it. It ain't a damn zoo we're runnin'."

Glenn nodded and they got the cats and dogs into the car before they drove off with all of the supplies back to the house.

"So how are you and Bo Peep?" Merle asked quietly.

"We're good," Glenn answered simply. "She want's to have a baby now we have the house, but I thought we should wait until the cannibal group is dealt with first. What about you and Beth?"

"We're doing good; she wants to have a baby as well." Merle said thinking of a baby with his hair and Beth's eyes.

"Daddy Merle." Glenn smirked.

Merle chuckled slightly. "I know, can ya imagine? Damn Daryl and Bailey, making everyone want a fuckin' kid now."

"Rick and Anna are going to try for a baby." Glenn said laughing as they drove through the gate and drove up to the door before getting out.

"We got furry friends!" He yelled.

All the kids rushed out excitedly, followed by the adults, as Glenn let the pets out of the car.

"Oh god, how many?" Rick asked.

"Six cats and four dogs." Merle said smirking as they all saw the kids happily fuss over the animals with one of the dogs walking towards them.

He looked at them with puppy dog eyes and Rick felt his heart melt.

"Alright then, bring them inside," he said finally as he looked at Glenn and Merle. "You better hope you got enough supplies, or it's up to you two to find them something," he said as they all went into the house and fed the animals.

The children happily fed the animals as the adults watched amazed at the new additions, Peter, Louis and Carl happily fed the dogs while the girls fed the cats.

"Daddy Glenn, Daddy Merle and Daddy Rick thank you." Emma said hugging them.

"Don't mention it sweetheart," Merle said as he ruffled her hair gently. "Let's just hope they get on alright with the other animals."

"I'm sure they will," Katy said happily.

"Look Mommy Anna, Mommy Bailey, Patch and Tinkerbelle are making love." Katy said as they all saw Patch get on top of Tinkerbelle.

"Is that how babies are made, daddy?" Rose asked Will curiously.

Will felt his cheeks burn. "Uh yeah... somethin' like that," he mumbled. "I'm sure yer sisters Bailey an' Beth can tell ya when yer a little older," he added.

"It's ok daddy." She said cuddling into him and everyone smiled at the scene as they saw all of the cats move over to where Judith and Aoife were.

"They're making a circle." Beth said amazed.

"Looks like they wanna protect the girls," Maggie said with a smile as she watched them.

Merle laughed. "Yeah, either that or they wanna eat 'em."

"Cats don't eat people." Beth said amused as they watched the cats snuggle into Judith and Aoife contently.

Carl and Sophia were holding hands together happily as they talked with Eliza talking to Peter as they played a game.

"Looks like we got another budding romance in here," Glenn laughed as he watched Carl and Sophia. "Young love."

"I'm happy for him," Rick said with a smile as he cuddled into Anna and held Judith tightly.

Bailey smiled softly at the scene when she felt a light kick and stilled, sure enough she felt another kick and placed Daryl's hands on her bump.

Daryl gently placed his hands on her bump and sure enough felt their baby kick.

"Is that our baby?" Daryl asked with tears in his eyes as he felt another kick. "Hi, little one, I'm your daddy."

Bailey couldn't speak, she was so overcome with emotion at the fact that their baby was alive and well it moved her to tears.

"Hi little on, I'm your mommy." She sobbed happily.

Daryl hugged her tightly. "That's our little one come to say hello," he said as he cried happily into her hair. "I love you both."

"Can we feel?" Rose and Dylan asked as they walked over.

"Of course you can." Bailey said warmly and placed their hands on her stomach along with Aoife as they all felt a strong kick.

"Oh, that's so cool." Dylan said smiling.

"Lively little one, isn't he or she?" Daryl asked smiling widely. "My little Dixon in there," he said softly as he kissed her bump.

Bailey smiled happily at him as everyone felt her bump including Hershel and Will who both smiled warmly at them.

"That's your grandson or granddaughter, Uncle Hershel." She said smiling.

Hershel smiled at her warmly. "Thank you, Bailey. That means a lot."

"Yours too," she said as she looked at Will, and watched Daryl carefully.

Daryl nodded and guided Will's hand on Bailey's bump and he swallowed back tears of emotion as he felt his grandson or granddaughter kick at him.

"Lively one." He said softly.

"Takes it off his daddy," Bailey said with a small smile. She kissed Daryl softy on the lips, proud he was bonding with his father.

Daryl smiled at her as he watched her play with Aoife.

"Have you thought of names?" Will asked him softly.

"We have if it's a boy, we're gonna call him Dean and if it's a girl Essie." He said warmly.

Will looked shocked, but touched, at their choice of name for a girl. Bailey smiled softly at him. "Daryl told me the story," she said quietly.

"Thank you," Will nodded. "Both of you. That means a lot."


"We know." Daryl said patting his shoulder as Bailey headed upstairs with Anna and him so they could check on the baby.

"So how have you been?" Anna asked kindly.

"Well, apart from getting shot in the shoulder and pushed down the stairs, I've been alright," she said with a small laugh. "How are you, Rick, Carl and Judith?" she asked as Anna put on her stethoscope to listen to the baby.

"We're doing really well, its nice to see Carl smile and Rick relaxing despite that group hanging around." Anna said warmly as she heard a steady heartbeat.

"The baby seems fine and healthy; let's check your blood pressure." She said softly.

Bailey nodded, "Sure, no problem."

"It's probably sky-high with all the stress you're dealing with," Anna chuckled.

She laughed at that as she felt Anna wrap the band around her arm and sure enough her blood pressure was high.

"You need to take it easy." Anna told her softly.

Bailey nodded. "I will, don't worry," she said softly.

"Into bed," Anna instructed her. "Go on, we got things covered downstairs," she said with a smile.

Bailey gave her a soft smile as she got under the sheets and fell asleep softly as her chest rose and felt quietly as she and Daryl went downstairs.

"There might be complications during the birth." She told Daryl gently.

"What do ya mean?" He asked worriedly.

"She's been under a lot of stress lately," Anna said softly. "Not to mention after she lost Celia, the birth might be hard on her body. We'll make sure we have all the equipment and medicine we need."

"Thanks, I'll make sure she gets rest and eats." He said softly as he took Aoife upstairs to see Bailey as everyone else played with their things.

"Is everything alright?" Rick asked softly.

Carol nodded as she sat down next to Axel and happily took his hand. "Yes, Rick, I think everything's good," she said with a smile.

Rick smiled at that as he sat down beside Anna and they played with Judith.


The months flew by and before anyone knew it, it was November and Bailey looked ready to give birth at any minute.

Bailey groaned as she sat down on the sofa, her large bump causing havoc with her back,

"Ya alright there, sis?" Merle asked with a small chuckle. "Ya look like yer about to burst."

"Merle, don't," she warned. "I'm sore, I'm tired and I'm cranky."

"Sorry sis, only tryin' to amuse ya." He laughed as Daryl came in and sat beside her as she winced in pain.

"Ya alright?" Daryl asked worried.

Bailey took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine, I just... fuck," she groaned when she felt another pain.

"What is it?" Daryl asked panicked. "Is it the baby?"

She nodded her head and gave him a weak smile." I think the baby's coming." she said quietly, as she took a deep breath and went back to her sewing.

She finished sewing the blanket and smiled at the finished blankets and quilts just as a crippling contraction hit and she cried out as her waters broke.

"Daryl." She gasped.

"Hell Bailey, if the baby's comin', why the hell are ya sewin' that damn thing?" he asked, pulling the blanket away. "Let's go get our baby out."

"Doesn't work that easily Daryl," Anna said with a small laugh as she picked up her medical supplies, and everyone rushed over to help Bailey.

"Alright, let's get you up to bed," Hershel said as she doubled over as another contraction hit, and gripped Daryl's arm in pain. Daryl picked her up into his arms with the 'medical team' following, and carried her upstairs, struggling with the extra weight of the baby, He set her down on the bed, as Hershel helped her out of her jeans, and Maggie and Beth came in with some water.

"Oh god, the baby really wants to come out." Bailey panted as Maggie wiped her forehead as Carol came in as well, her family.

"You just need to breathe and keep calm, alright?" Hershel asked softly, as he rubbed her legs gently. "The labour could last between twenty minutes and twenty hours," he informed her, and Bailey groaned. There was no way she could suffer twenty hours of contractions, she would push the baby out by then. "Baby will come when it's ready, alright; you just need to relax until then."

"Easy for you to say," Bailey groaned, as the first contraction subsided and she slumped against the pillows.

Daryl squeezed her hand tightly and she gave him a smile in response as he lay behind her and held her as another contraction hit her.

Daryl rubbed her back soothingly, as she looked at Hershel and let out a whoosh of breath. "Please Uncle Hershel, I just want it out," she panted.

"Alright, you think you're ready to push?" Hershel asked as he gave her a quick check-over. "We're right here if anything doesn't go to plan, OK?"

Bailey nodded and gripped Daryl's hand tightly as she began to push with everything she had, crying out in pain and exhaustion. After what felt like hours, Hershel finally looked up and smiled. "Alright, we got a head. This little one's got quite the head of hair," he said as he guided the baby's shoulders out. "A couple more pushes, Bailey, come on," he said. Bailey nodded and pushed one final time with all her might, and Hershel ended up with a crying baby in his arms.

"Look at that, Bailey," he said as Anna cut the cord and wrapped up the baby. "You two have a wonderful baby boy."

Bailey cried as she looked down into the blue eyes of her newborn son. Daryl reached out slowly, his son grabbed his finger and he and Bailey both laughed. His voice cracked with emotion, "He's got one hell of a grip."

Bailey nodded, feeling him kiss her forehead several times, his voice was low, "I love ya woman, thank you."

"He's got your eyes," Bailey said happily, as their son stared at them in wonder.

Daryl reached out to touch his face. This was his son, his boy. He had never seen anything more wonderful in the world. "He's damn perfect."

"Congratulations, you two," Beth said softly as she looked down at the squirming, pink baby. "He's beautiful."

"Thank you, Beth," Bailey said softly as she stroked her newborn's tufts of hair.

"What's his name?" Will asked moved as he saw his firstborn grandson in front of him cooing happily like an angel.

"We're calling him Dean Rick Merle Dixon." Daryl said with a shit eating grin on his face as he stroked his son's hair.

Bailey smiled softly as she cuddled into Daryl's chest, hearing his rapid heartbeat, as they both held their son in their arms. "Little Dean Dixon," she said lovingly. She felt happy tears burn her eyes; she had gone from having nothing, to having Daryl, Aoife and Dean, the most perfect family. "I love you."

Dean cooed at her and placed his tiny hand on her face as everyone watched with a smile on their faces as Daryl and Bailey bonded with their son.

"Is that my baby brother?" Aoife asked joy in her voice.

"Sure is, sweetheart, this is Dean," Daryl said softly. "Wanna come and say hello?"

Aoife nodded and climbed up on the bed, looking down at her new sibling.

"Hello Dean, I'm your big sister." She said softly and he cooed at her softly as he placed a hand on her face.

"I think he likes ya," Daryl said with a small smirk. "Give it ten years and the two of ya will be none stop fightin'."

Hershel chuckled quietly. "Let's give the family some time alone, shall we?"

Everyone nodded and left them in peace as Bailey pulled down her nightgown and started to breast feed Dean as Daryl watched lovingly.

"He looks like you." She said softly.

"He's got yer smile," Daryl said softly as he held her hand.

"Yeah, but he's got your hair and eyes," Bailey said with a smile. "He's gonna grow into a handsome man, just like his daddy."

"With his mama's loving nature." He said holding her close as she and Dean both slowly fell asleep with Daryl and Aoife watching over them.

"I love ya three so much."

"We love you too, daddy," Aoife said as she curled into him and fell asleep. Daryl had finally gotten the family with Bailey he had always dreamed of.


Bailey had woken up early this morning and smiled when she saw Daryl sleeping peacefully beside her, his face content and she kissed him lovingly as she got up and pulled on her dressing gown and picked up Dean as they went downstairs into the kitchen.

She made herself a cup of lemon tea when she saw Dean cooing at her happily and she smiled lovingly at him as she kissed his forehead when she felt a knife pressed against her throat.

"Don't fucking move bitch."

Bailey froze in terror as she dropped the cup to the floor, hearing it smash to pieces.

"Put the baby down," the voice told her. "We don't need him, we just want you."

"Ok, ok just please don't hurt my baby." She said trying to stay calm as she placed Dean on the table, her hands shaking with fear.

"Now walk slowly out of the door while I write a little note for your group."

Bailey nodded and walked outside, praying that someone would come into the kitchen at the right moment and kill whoever was trying to take her.

"Please God. Please," she whispered desperately.

The man quickly wrote a note to Daryl and the group and placed on the table next to Dean before he knocked Bailey out with the butt of his gun, he tied her hands and feet up with barbed wire, pulled off her dressing gown and wrapped a thin sheet around her before he dragged her out of the house, her feet getting scratched.


Ben watched helplessly as his beloved owner was dragged away.

He whined quietly before running back into the house, and upstairs to his owner's room. He found Daryl asleep on the bed with Aoife and started barking loudly.

Daryl woke up frowning, "What's the matter boy?" He asked Ben who barked again and ran downstairs as he followed after the dog and found Dean crying softly on the table with a note beside him.

Bailey was no where to be seen.

He picked up Dean and rocked him gently. Bailey must have run to the toilet or something, otherwise she wouldn't have left him. But surely she wouldn't have just dumped him down on the table? Daryl frowned as he looked at the note, picking it up and reading it.

"We have taken your wife as one of ours and she will be cleansed in the eyes of God and the Holy Lord will punish her for her sins."

"You will not find her but be glad she is at peace now."

Daryl dropped the note to the ground, his hands shaking as he held Dean in his arms. "RICK! MERLE! WILL!" he yelled at the top of his voice.

The three men ran downstairs where they found a white faced Daryl holding Dean and a note in his hand as he spoke with cold rage.

"THOSE FUCKIN BASTARDS HAVE TAKEN MY WOMAN!" He yelled at them as he passed the note to Rick and Merle.

Rick and Merle read the note quickly and exchanged a worried look, as the women hurried in. Carol gently took Dean out of Daryl's arms.

"It's alright Daryl, calm down, we'll get her back," Rick told him. "They have to be at that cabin, right? That's where they live; it's where they had Emma. We'll go there now, and we'll get her back."

He nodded and they grabbed their coats as they ran outside to where the cabin was, he was clutching his crossbow tightly as they stormed into the house.

"BAILEY?!" He yelled running inside as they all searched the house and checked all of the rooms but there wasn't any sign of her or the group that had taken her.

"No, no!" He yelled falling onto his knees in despair.

Merle felt his heart ache for his brother as he gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "Looks like they've packed up and gone," he said pained.

Will came through from the bedroom looking upset. "All of their belongings are gone too, son."

Daryl got up and in a fit of rage threw a rock against the glass window, the glass shattered just like his heart had shattered.

"I need to find her." He said hurrying back to the house where he saw his bike and headed towards it when Will spoke.

"What about Dean, your son?"

"Carol will look after him," Daryl said quickly as he got onto the bike.

Will shook his head. "No, son, he needs you. He was only born yesterday, and he ain't got his mama. He needs his father."

"What about Bailey?" Daryl asked heartbroken.

"We'll keep on looking for her; the group probably took her into a nearby town or house." Will tried to comfort him when Daryl broke.

"THEY COULD BE FUCKIN' BEATING HER, TORTURING HER OR WORSE RAPING HER LIKE SOME DAMN DOG!" He yelled at Will as he tried to come to terms with the fact of Bailey missing.

"I promised her, I wouldn't let anyone hurt her." He said brokenly.

"I know ya did, I know," Will said softly, as he and Merle stayed close to Daryl, scared he was going to do something stupid. "But ya couldn't have known what was going to happen. Bailey doesn't blame you."

"How do ya know that?!" Daryl snapped as tears slid down his cheeks. "I can't cope if she ain't here," he admitted, as he began to sob quietly.

"She wouldn't want ya to give up Daryl, she'd want you to keep on fighting and take care of Dean your son." Will said softly and Daryl shook violently.

"She'd want me to take care of him." He rasped getting up and going to where Dean was crying for Bailey and him.

"We need to find her." Maggie pleaded.

Rick nodded. "I know, Maggie, I know we do! But we have no idea where to start, we don't have any clues. Hell, for all we know they could have left the state by now."

"Rick, that's not helping," Anna said quietly. "Just, everyone take it easy. We'll figure this out."

"I know I'm sorry." Rick said pained as they all watched Daryl hold Dean in his arms as they both cried for Bailey.

"Ok so what do we know about that group?" Milton asked calmly as they hurried inside.

"Well, there were six of them when they took Emma," Rick said as he thought back. "There was the woman Theresa, the man, Chris, I think he was the leader, and there were four other men. But when they started shooting they mentioned something about Nate and Randall, and I'm thinking maybe their groups joined up. If that's the case, they could have... hundreds of men, I don't know."

"They hunt people because they can't hunt animals for food, they're called the Hunters." Emma said as she remembered.

"What else Emma?" Anna asked gently.

"They hunt at night so its easier prey, they... They hunt and kill the men but keep the women so they can get them pregnant and rebuild the human population." She said quickly.

"Aw hell," Merle gasped, knowing exactly what that meant they did to the women. "For the love of god, whatever y'all do, don't tell Daryl that. He'll go fuckin' crazy," he said quietly, looking over at where his brother was sat in the sitting room with Dean in his arms, and Aoife looking upset by his side.

"What are we meant to do?" Beth asked desperately.

"We can the check the local towns and maybe go to the prison see if Tyresse and the others have seen them?" Axel suggested and they all nodded as they all went to find Bailey.

Anna looked up at the painting of Jesus holding a newborn baby in his arms with Mary Madeline by his side.

"If you're hearing us, please let us find Bailey." She prayed.


Bailey awoke with a major headache in an unfamiliar dark room, it was cold and damp, and she had been tied to a bed. She felt tears sting her eyes as she remembered she had been taken from her home. From Daryl. From her children. "Hello?" she called out, as she looked around for some way she could free herself.

"Hello Bailey." A familiar voice said and she looked around to see Karen with another woman who had short red hair as they came towards her smiling.

"How do you like your new home?" Karen said smiling cruelly at her as she circled around her like a shark.

"I already have a home." She said calmly before Karen slapped her hard across the face as a man came in.

"Why hasn't she been cleansed yet?"

"Because we have a score to settle first," Karen snapped at him. "I see you had your baby," she sneered at Bailey. "Maybe when Daryl gets over you, I can go back and help him raise it."

"Go to hell," Bailey spat at her.

"Not before you do first." Karen sneered at her as she back handed her again and dragged her out of the room where she was brought into another where a freezing cold bath was waiting for her.

"Nate, Chris you two can strip her naked and touch her!" Karen yelled annoyed.

"No, no, please don't do that," she begged, her breath coming out heavier, as she felt rough hands manhandle her and rip her clothes. "No please stop, please," she cried. "DARYL! DARYL!"

"Daryl isn't coming to save you bitch, now shut up and get in the fucking bath." Chris snapped and he shoved her in as he cupped her breasts and licked his lips.

"She's got good breasts for breast feeding." He told Nate who nodded.

"We'll start easy on her but then get rougher, train her." Nate said coldly as he walked to where she was trying to get away from him.

Bailey was splashing around wildly in the water, as she tried to get away from the two men and cover herself up. "Daryl, please," she sobbed, wishing he could hear her.

"Gonna need the fucking restraints for this," Nate growled as he brought through some chains and chained her up to the sides of the bath so she couldn't move. "You're gonna have to learn to struggle less."

She continued to struggle as Chris held her hands behind her back as he looked at his younger brother expectantly.

"You wanna taste her tits first?" He asked looking at her plumb, sex breasts.

"Nah, you go ahead." He said smirking.

"No!" Bailey begged as she tried to back away. "No, PLEASE," she yelled, her voice cracking. "PLEASE STOP!" she screamed, her eyes pleasing with them.

"Shut the hell up," Chris snapped. "Let's see what it was that redneck liked so much about you."

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME!" She screamed as she tried pull away when Chris held his left hand over her mouth as he took her left breast into his mouth and sucked hard as she cried, sobbed and screamed at him to stop and sobbed for Daryl.

"Christ, she's so fucking hot." He groaned as he bit down hard on her nipple and she screamed in pain when she felt his hand trail up her upper thigh.

Bailey felt everything hurt and made a desperate attempt to stop them touching her. She pulled up and jerked her knee forward, hitting Chris in the face and splashing cold water over the top of him as he fell backwards.

Both he and Nate growled at her at the same time as he sat back up. "You're gonna fuckin' pay for that!" he said enraged. "I was trying to be nice, but you fucked that up."

She tried to keep calm as he slapped her across the face hard while Nate dunked her under the water as she tried to fight him off.

"We're not going to have sex with her, just play with her tits." He told Chris who smirked as they dragged Bailey out of the bath naked.

"Karen, Tess can we dress her up now?!" They yelled.

Karen came through holding a handful of hideous outfits. "We sure can," she said smiling. "We could even send the pictures to that husband of hers," she added with a sinister smile. "Which costumes would you like to use, boy?"

"The white nightgown that makes her look like an angel." Nate decided as they carried Bailey back to the cell where Karen redressed her and started on her make up and hair.

"Can I play with her?" Chris asked annoyed.

"No, go to hell," Bailey snapped at him as she avoided eye contact with everyone else in the room.

"Yeah, go ahead, brother," Nate smirked. "We'll take some pictures of that too for her husband. I bet he'll like those."

Bailey felt completely humiliated at the thought Daryl would see her like this; he'd probably never want to touch her again.

She started to sob as Nate dragged her to the bed where he tied her hands up with wood and then did her feet.

"I'm going to love fucking her." Nate said pleased as he grabbed a syringe with a sleeping drug before injecting her with it as she tried to fight him off.

"PLEASE STOP!" She begged.

"We aren't going to stop, whore." Chris said as they watched her slowly succumb to the sleeping drug as they left her in the freezing cold, damp cell alone.


Daryl had been with Dean all morning, he must have known that Bailey was gone because he started snuffle and lightly cry.

"I know ya miss her, I miss her like hell." Daryl told Dean who stared at him with his matching eye colour.

"I love ya and I love yer mama as well, we're gonna find her." He promised.

Aoife came over and sat beside Daryl and Dean, as she reached for Dean's hand. "Hey, sweetheart, are you OK?" Daryl asked softly.

"I miss mama, dada." She sobbed and he pulled her into him as she cried and he started to cry as well for Bailey.

"I miss her too, sweetheart." He said softly.

"Is mama coming back?" Aoife sniffled as she held onto her dad and brother, tears running down her face.

"I sure as hell hope so, sweetheart," Daryl said quietly as he held his children tightly.

Merle came in quietly and sat next to them. "How ya holdin' up, baby brother?"

"Not great, I need to find her Merle." He said agonised as he rocked Dean to sleep when they heard knocking on the door.

"Who on earth is that?" Patricia asked alarmed.

"I don't know," Rick said worriedly as he got up and grabbed his gun. "But when they want to kill us, they don't usually knock. He opened the door and found no one there, with any signs of anyone, apart from a box on the step. He picked it up and brought it inside. "It's a box of some kind"

"What's in it?" Anna asked with a confused expression, as Rick sat down at the table and tried to open it.

He felt sick when he'd seen inside. "Photographs."

"Of who?" Hershel asked as they all came into the living room and all looked in the box to see it was photos of Bailey dressed up in different outfits.

"She's wearing a white nightgown." Maggie said horrified.

The photos of Bailey had her tied up on a bed with barbed wire around her hands and feet, her face terrified and fear was shown in her blue eyes.

Rick kept looking through the pictures and found ones at the bottom where Bailey had been stripped of her clothes, and the men were posing with their hands on her. Beth covered her mouth, while Anna went pale. "I don't think we should let Daryl see these."

"See what?" Daryl asked as he appeared in the doorway, having put the kids down for a nap.

He saw them looking at photos on the floor and went forward when he saw one of Bailey in a room wearing a white nightgown with her hands and feet tied with barbed wire.

He shakily picked it up and looked around to see more photos of her with two men posing with her, their hands on her breasts, legs, face and her arms.

He stared at the photos with an unreadable expression for a moment, while everyone else watched worriedly. His face changed to white, and then red as he dropped the photos to the ground and looked around them all.

"FUCK!" he yelled as he picked up a glass of the table and threw it against the wall, smashing it into pieces. Everyone at the table backed up a little. "FUCK! FUCK!" Daryl growled as he continued to kick whatever he could find, or smash things off the wall.

He threw a glass vase at the wall next then a few more as he tried to come to terms with the fact that Bailey was most likely being raped.

He walked to where the back door was and stormed out as the others watched helplessly and tearfully.
