I do not own or profit from The Walking Dead
Chapter 28
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
"Come in" she said
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".
And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
"Come in" she said
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

"We're talking when this is over" he warned as he covered her nipple with his mouth.
"I need you...I need you so much" she said with a moan reaching down and positioning him at her entrance.
He pushed himself into her, sighing into her ear and biting down on her earlobe. She grabbed hold of his ass, her palms trying to pull him closer as she arched her back and he thrust into her.
She knew she wouldn't last long as she felt him start to pick up his pace. She gasped out calling his name as she climaxed before him, and heard him growl as started to thrust into her at a furious pace before slumping on top of her, his face in her neck. It took him several minutes before he could speak.
"So start talking"

Daryl raised his head and looked down at Carol brushing the hair away from her face.
"What's wrong baby...your scaring me" he whispered to her quietly.
She looked up at him her eyes filling with tears as her lip started to quiver slightly he felt his heart break for her, he deeply wanted to fix whatever was wrong, he wanted to make it right, take away her fears.
"That was Rick...not Lori on the phone" she said in a very small voice "He wanted to tell me that Ed's parole hearing is in two weeks...he's positive Ed will make parole." She sighed closing her eyes again, reaching up she wound her arms around his neck lightly pulling him down on top of her, burying her face in his neck.
He felt a bolt of pure hatred in his gut, for that son of a bitch Ed. Fuck the fact that he inspired such fear in her, made him insane. He wished he had ten minutes alone with this assehole.
He careful eased himself onto his back mindful of his leg, rolling her with him. She clung to him, her face still buried in his neck, and he felt, her soft shakes and realized she was crying.
"It's alright ...he doesn't know where you are...I sure as he'll ain't letting anything happen to you...shhh"he whispered soothingly into her ear as he rubbed her naked back, desperately trying to stop her tears.
Gradually her body stilled "Yah alright now?" He whispered in concern
"Yeah" she said turning to rest her head in his shoulder "Just don't let go of me" she said quietly
"Never" he said with a grin kissing her temple.
She sniffed "I guess...when he was in jail, it didn't feel real...I felt safe...but knowing he will be out soon...it brings it all back...the way it felt...the fear...then it pisses me of cause I hate that I let him make me weak...make me scared, I wanna kick his ass"
He gave an unintentional little snort at her change in tone."Ya damn well could kick his ass, look how far you've come in a few weeks...I wouldn't fucking mess with ya!"
She giggled into his chest "oh really...well you best not misbehave then" she said.
"Fuck...maybe I wanna" he said on a hoarse voice. Still naked she straddled him, sitting up looking down at him.
"Your so fucking beautiful" he said quietly "You've changed my life, I never thought I would be happy again...Ain't no way I'm letting some asshole take you away from me...we will figure it out..he may never find you, and if he does...I'll watch you kick his ass."
She threw back her head and laughed, the movement grinding her down further. He groaned sliding his hand down to rub his finger along her core.
She closed her eyes and sighed his name and suddenly he was rock hard again watching her face. Open her eyes she grinned."That's not misbehaving" she said.
Lifting herself up she slid down onto him with a grin. Leaning down she started a slow path up his neck, and a slow pace. He puts his hands on her hips, helping her move , guiding her hips how he wanted her to go. Palming her ass, he pulled her even closer then rolled her onto her back.
She smiled up at him so sweetly, it stole his breath. Ed would never get near her he vowed as he watched her face as she lost control.

The next two weeks passed by quickly. Carol was ecstatic to see Daryl's recovery progress more everyday. He still used a cane, but she doubted he would need it much longer. He would always have a slight limp, but she was beginning to see a glimpse of what Daryl was like pre injury.
She knew he was itchy to go hunting with Merle. She'd seen him flipping through his books, and checking out a few websites. She trusted him enough to know when he was ready, he wouldn't go before he could handle it.
Glen's book was coming along as well, the story was finished and she was almost done of all the illustrations.
Sophia, the baby bird, was frightened by a crow, while her mom was looking for food. The crow chased her into the woods, and she got lost. The woods was a scary place, noises and sounds frightened Sophia but they were all discovered to be something simple not scary at all. Sophia realized she wasn't scared of the woods anymore, but she was sad because she wanted to find her mom. The crow found her again and she was saved by a blackbird named Daryl. Daryl helped her find her way back home through the woods to her mom and ended up making a nest in the same tree.
When Carol had read the book to Daryl he grunted, and said it was alright. She figured it was as much of an endorsement of his name as she was going to get.
She kept up the self defence classes. She enjoyed them, but was finding them tiring. She was tired all the time lately, falling asleep during the day, and lightheaded too.
This morning Daryl had gotten up early to go into the office with Merle to have meeting with Milton. One moment she'd been lying in bed, trying to convince herself to get up, the next she'd been darting for the bathroom, barely making it to the bathroom before vomiting into the toilet. Once her stomach had settled a few calculations in her head had her making a rapid trip to the pharmacy.
She was sitting on the tub, watching the stick in her hand her foot tapping uncontrollably. It was quick, maybe they weren't ready, she thought anxiously as she heard Daryl come in.
He came to the door "Y'Alright baby?"
"Yes...I'll be out in a minute" she said
"K...your cell's ringing, you want me to answer?" He said
"Sure" she said distractedly watching as the test started to change and her heart sped up. Standing up she checked the box twice in amazement a feeling of joyful happiness spreading through. She had to tell him the news.
"Sweetheart...come here!" She said excitedly.
He opened the door his face tense as he clicked off her phone.
She couldn't hold herself back flinging her arms around him, kissing him passionately. Then looking up at him with a smile "I'm pregnant"
He pulled her in close again, wrapping his arms around her tightly, and buried his face in her neck."I love you so much baby" he whispered.
She noticed his body shaking "Sweatheart what's wrong?"
"Ed got paroled"
