Chapter 28

Daryl, Reagan, and Sophia were riding in one of their cars while Merle was on his bike. George had come by earlier with some of his men and trucks to pack their things. Daryl was still uneasy about Hundred Acre but he Rick and Glenn had talked about it the night before when everyone else was asleep. If anything went wrong, they would pull out the smoke grenades they would hide in their clothing and escape with their group.

"Hey." Reagan said as she put her hand one of his on the steering wheel. "We're gonna be okay." Sophia cooed in her arms as her tiny arms reached around. Daryl gave a small smirk at his girls and gave a short nod.

"I know." He grunted. He enveloped Reagan's smaller hand in his and held it tight.

"It's just up here, take a right when we do." George's voice came over the radio. Reagan slipped her hand out of Daryl's and grabbed the radio.

"Got it." She replied and set it back. She grabbed Daryl's hand again and he brought her hand up to his mouth and kissed her knuckles. "We'll be okay." They took the right up the dirt road and saw a very large, gated area. It was much larger than Woodbury and looked much less menacing. The gates were open as they drove through. They saw George exit his car and they filed suit.

"Welcome to Hundred Acre everyone." George introduced as they gaped at the town. It was amazing! Solar power, running water, buildings, people that were smiling, clean, with fresh clothes and faces. There were many houses around the area, this place had to be the size if not bigger than King County. "Would you like to meet the founding family?" George asked with a sly smile at the Grimes family. Rick and Reagan sent questioning looks at each other. George laughed good naturedly and stuck his head into one of the buildings. Reagan was slightly bouncing Sophia as Daryl's hand was on her back. George walked towards them and Reagan's mouth dropped.

"Oh my..." Rick trailed off. A gray haired man with glasses walked out. He was tall with bright green eyes, well built, clean clothes, and still had some hair. A woman was walking next to him with blonde hair that was slowly turning white but still looked like her old color, bright blue eyes, a floral dress, and a kind face.

"Pap-paw!" Carl screamed and began to run towards the older couple. "Sug!" (pronounced 'shoog'). Mr. and Mrs. Grimes gasped as they saw their nephew running towards them. They started to cry immediately as they bent down and grabbed Carl in their arms. Reagan and Rick were frozen to the ground as they gaped. Reagan's breathing was hard as she fought not to fall over. She finally turned to Daryl with tears pooling in her eyes. Daryl smirked at her and took Sophia. Reagan grabbed Rick's hand while he held Judith's.

"Momma?" Rick asked quietly.

"Daddy?" Reagan asked. They were both trying to figure out if this was a dream or not. Donna Grimes looked up first and saw her children.

"Paul…" Donna trailed off and Paul looked up from Carl.

"Rick?" he asked, his voice wavering. "Reagan?"

"Momma!" Reagan yelped and began to run. "Daddy!" Rick ran as well as they collided in their parents arms. Reagan cried as soon as she felt her parents wrap their arms around her and her brother.

"My babies!" Donna wept. "My babies!" They pulled away and Donna held Reagan's face. "You're really here?"

"Yes Momma, I'm here." Reagan cried and held her mother.

"My boy!" Paul rejoiced as he held Rick. The parents switched places. "My baby girl." He said softly and kissed her cheek, his face clean shaven.

"Daddy, I missed you so much." Reagan told him.

"Rick, sweetie, I thought you were dead… I thought you were in the hospital?" Donna asked her eldest son.

"Yeah Momma, I was but I got out. I found my family." He replied. Judith tugged on his pant leg, making Reagan laugh.

"Who is this little miss?" Paul asked as he picked Judith up. "You look like your Daddy."

"This is Judith Lori Grimes." Carl replied. Donna and Paul looked up at their kids and Rick pursed his lips before he shook his head. Donna let out a sad breath but Rick held her shoulder. Rick looked up at Reagan and smirked. He jerked his head back towards Daryl and she nodded. She quickly walked over to Daryl, who was still holding their daughter, and grabbed his arm.

"Come on, you need to meet them." She told him quietly as she pulled him over. "Momma, Daddy, there are some people I want you to meet before you meet the rest of our group." Donna and Paul looked up to see a handsome man with a crossbow on his back and a baby in his arms. "This is Daryl Dixon."

"Well," Paul began. "And who is this little miss?" he asked with a smile as they walked over to the other small family. Reagan looked over at Daryl and nodded her head.

"This is Sophia." He replied shakily. "Our daughter." Donna and Paul's eyes widened. They both started laughing as they looked at the infant.

"Well, this is a surprise!" Donna laughed.

"Reagan always did." Paul chuckled. Sophia made small baby noises as her grandparents came over to her and Daryl. "It's very nice to meet you Daryl."

"I'm sorry I impregnated yer daughter." Daryl's inner voice said. He cleared his throat and nodded. "It's nice to meet ya too, Mr. Grimes." Donna came over to Reagan and she introduced her to the group.

"So, this Daryl guy's kinda cute huh?" Donna teased and Reagan laughed as she snuggled more into her mother. Donna kissed her forehead.

"Yeah, he's not that bad." Reagan replied and Donna laughed lightly.

"So, are you guys in love?" Donna asked as she swooped some of Reagan's hair out of her face. They watched as Paul held Sophia with Daryl close by.

"Yeah Momma, we're in love." She replied. "It wasn't just because of Sophia either… I've loved him for a long time. So has he." Donna smiled as tears filled her eyes again.

"I didn't think I would ever see you again Rea-Rea." Donna told her. "But look at you now. You have a boyfriend, a baby, you have more life than anything. He's good to you right?"

"Momma he's done everything for me. He's risked his life for me. He's very good to me." Reagan replied and her mother nodded. "It only took the end of the world for me to find the one." Reagan chuckled and Donna laughed.

"You would've found him one day." Donna replied as she walked over to her husband and granddaughter.

Daryl bit around his thumbnail as Paul held Sophia.

"Hey there Sophia." He cooed. "I'm your Pap-paw." Paul laughed as Sophia reached for his chin. Paul looked up at Daryl with a smile. "Look Daryl, I'm not a judgmental guy I'm sure Reagan has told you that."

"Yes sir." Daryl replied.

"I only want what makes Reagan happy so are you in love with my daughter?" Paul asked.

"Yes sir. I love her very much." Daryl replied honestly as they group was being introduced to the town.

"Would you do anything for her?" Paul asked and Daryl nodded again.

"Anythin'." Daryl replied. Paul nodded as he played with Sophia. "I love Reagan more than anythin', sir." Daryl felt so nervous all at once. "I won't let anythin' happen to her. I protect her, I've been protectin' her. There's nothin' I wouldn't do for her." Paul gave a soft smile to both Daryl and Sophia.

"Welcome to the family, son." Paul said.

"So, does Sophia get to see her Sug?" Donna asked as she and Reagan walked over.

"You wanna see your Sug? Or do you wanna stay with your ol' Pap-paw?" Paul asked and Donna scoffed. Donna slipped Sophia into her arms and smiled at her.

"Look how gorgeous you are!" Donna cooed. "Hey there pretty girl. What are you doing?" she laughed as Sophia grabbed some of her hair. Paul began introducing himself and explaining the town to the others. Daryl and Reagan listened as he explained how the town worked. There would be houses assigned to each family, they could join the town council if they wanted, they could help run shops, help build, help in the hospital, teach, the opportunities seemed to be limitless. Reagan grabbed Sophia as they drove over to their new house. It was small but big at the same time. It was just the right size for them.

"I told you everything would be okay." Reagan said and Daryl nodded.

"I didn't thank yer parents would be here." Daryl said and Reagan laughed.

"Yeah, you were pretty nervous there Daryl." Daryl's jaw dropped.

"Whut? No I wudn't!" he defended.

"Oh yes you were." Reagan laughed. "I would be worried if you weren't." Sophia cooed and grabbed some of Daryl's shirt. Daryl smiled and transferred Sophia from Reagan into his tan, muscular arms.

"Hey there sweet heart, huh? Ya wanna see yer Daddy? Come here." Sophia whimpered in his arms. "Were ya serious 'bout yesterday?"

"About getting married?" She asked and he nodded. "Of course."

"Good, we'll get married then." Daryl replied. "How do we do this?"

"We'll have to ask Mom and Dad." Reagan shrugged. "Momma really likes you and so does Daddy. They won't have a problem with it. But, I still would've gotten married to you if they did."

"I'll talk to 'em." Daryl replied.

A week later, Daryl stood in the church bouncing from his heels to his toes. Weddings were a big thing in Hundred Acre and the fact that it was the founder's daughter's wedding made it that much bigger. It was a very large church with a lot of people Daryl didn't know but Reagan knew a large majority because they were customers at the bar and she would be running the bar in the town. Merle, Rick, Glenn, Carl, and Herschel were next to him while Carol, Maggie, Beth, and the maid of honor Michonne walked down the aisle with Sophia in her arms. Sophia reached for her father but he kissed at her. Donna sat in the front pew in a pretty dress. The music changed and the people stood up. The doors opened and Reagan walked out with her arm linked with her father's. Her dress fit tightly down to her waist but then flared out with tulle that seemed to have some sparkles in it. Her bodice looked wrapped, it was heart shaped, and had some jewels starting from the middle the top and going downwards to the middle of her bodice. She didn't have a veil but half of her hair was pulled back with some Cherokee Roses. Reagan smiled at Daryl and he gave a small smile back… there was so many people in that room. There was so many people that they had decided to let the pastor do their vows. Reagan hugged Paul and he kissed her cheek.

"I love you Daddy." She whispered.

"I love you too sweetie." He replied and gave her hand to Daryl's. Paul winked at Daryl and sat down with Donna.

"Hey there." She whispered to Daryl.

"Hey, ya look…" he couldn't find the words.

"You look handsome too." She replied.

"You may be seated." Pastor Chris said. Reagan smiled at her pastor. She always loved her church and it was because of Pastor Chris. She always wanted him to be the one to marry her to her husband. "We are gathered here today to join together Reagan Elizabeth Dixon and Daryl Jackson Dixon in holy matrimony. I've known Reagan since she was a little girl, when she was doing cartwheels out in front of Highlands Church or getting her big brothers to protect her from the ants outside. I baptized her, I watched her grow, mature spiritually, and I've watched how her voice could transform people. God has brought these two together because they were simply made for each other. They were made to love each other. Daryl, if you would please repeat after me as you place the ring on her finger.

"I, Daryl, take you Reagan, to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness."

"Reagan, please repeat after me as you place the ring on his finger."

"I, Reagan, take you Daryl, to be my wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness."

"By the power vested in me, by the power of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Reagan smiled and so did Daryl. Daryl leaned over and kissed his wife. His wife… he never thought it would happen.

Daryl kicked opened open the door to their house as he carried Reagan through the threshold bridal style. She laughed as he carried her up the stairs. He sat her down on their bed and smiled at her.

"Reagan, I love ya more than anythin' in this world. There's nothin' I wouldn't do to protect ya. Yer my top priority with Sophia and… ya've done so much fer me. Ya've made me feel like I was worth somethin'… like I had a purpose. I jus' wanna thank ya fer givin' me that and I'm gonna try my best to show ya how much ya mean to me every day." He told her and a tear slipped down her cheek. "And I'm sorry I couldn't say that in front of all those people." She laughed and hugged him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Daryl, I'm the one that needs to thank you." She told him. "You've been my best friend, my protector, you've been my angel." He held her tighter at those words. "I know we were meant to be. We were meant to be together through this and life. We were meant to have a family together. It was all meant to be. I love you Daryl Dixon."

"I love ya Reagan Dixon." He kissed her tenderly and she melted at his touch. That night was going to be the best night they both ever had, no doubt about it.
