Carol wanted to yell at the two women looking at her but bit back her words. She was on the verge of tears as it was and being trapped here while Daryl escaped was making her sick. His words right before he left had her on high alert and without a doubt she knew that everything that was being stuffed down all day was getting ready explode.

"Well Mrs. Dixon it looks like you're ten weeks sweetie."

Carol blinked stupidly for a second until she realized they were referring to her. Of course they were she was the only woman in here that they could be talking to. The woman frowned at her look and then gave her a sad knowing smile. Dr. Stevens slipped from the room and Carol watched her go but didn't speak.

"Things can scary when you don't plan for them." The woman smiling at her looked so motherly that Carol felt tears prick her eyes. "I'm going to go ahead and take a guess that this wasn't a bit planned or even expected."

Carol nodded and swiped at her eyes but couldn't find her words. She was scared. She was more than scared she was terrified. Her own mother had abandoned her what if she wasn't a good mother? What if Daryl decided he didn't want this after all. What if Carol wasn't meant to be a mother. Carol sucked in a breath as her mind raced so fast she was getting dizzy. There were so many things that could happen now that could rip her world apart at the seams that she was sure she was going to puke all over this doctor.

"Honey first things first you need to calm down." She spoke her voice still that gentle motherly tone, "Secondly this is normal...all those fears...all those doubts are normal. I had them and I'm sure countless other mothers have."

Carol looked up at her and nodded some feeling her heart slow, "I need to see someone."

"Something wrong?"

Carol nodded then shook her head biting her lip, "I need to speak to Daryl's father."

She stood up and smiled, "I'm assuming you want to wait on Daryl to come back to let anyone know? Right?"

Carol nodded sharply, "Yes...when he's here...I-Just can you get Will."

Will stepped into the room and moved over as Dean burst through the door. Carol was dressed and no longer in the hospital gown and her face was red from crying. He looked around but there was no sign of Daryl and he got a sinking feeling. Daryl's words and everything from earlier coming back. He knew something was wrong but Daryl had never said what.

Carol was looking at him wide-eyed ignoring her father altogether, "Is he still here?"

"What do you mean?" Will questioned.

Carol looked at him and tears rolled over her cheeks and she angrily swiped at them, "I can't quit." She growled, "Please tell me Daryl is still here...that you didn't let him leave."

Will looked at her, "I've not seen him since Stacey nabbed him and brought him back in here."

Dean grabbed her hand and she looked over at him where he set next to her. "What's going on?"

"You all have to get to him before he gets in trouble." Carol spoke rapidly.

Will chuckled, "Carol that boy aint going to go far with you in here."

Carol shook her head frantically and looked at him, "I should have just told him earlier and all this..." she whipped her hand around frantically, "All this could have been avoided!"

Will walked forward and looked at her, "Then tell me what is going on that has that boy riled up?"

Carol's face reddened and started paling quickly, "I...when Meg showed up I had just gotten back to the house..."

Dean was looking at her intently and she seen concern clear in his eyes just as thickly as in Will's. Both were worried for her and she was scared that if she told them they'd react as bad as Daryl. She had too though.

"I was attacked...I didn't tell him I was scared an-"

Dean stood abruptly his chest heaving, "Is this why you're in here?!"

Carol shook her head but Will was staring at her, "He found out? I'm guessing he knows who it was. How much of a head start he got girl?"

"Maybe more than thirty minutes."

Will was gone leaving Dean to calm Carol while he raced to get his son. It'd do no good to call since his phone was still in the goddamned woods. He wanted to tear the motherfuckers throat out that hurt her but knew he needed to keep it together. His anger wouldn't help Daryl.

Phone ringing finally he blew out a breath at the sound of the voice, "Rick get your ass in gear."

"You realize what time it is?" Rick mumbled.

"I don't give a good goddamn you find that new officer...you find him before my boy does." Will snarled.

When Rick's voice came back through the phone he was more alert, "What's going on?"

Will explained the situation and Rick was already on the move. He hung up and sped up. Rick had told him that the asshole was on duty and that meant that Daryl was likely going to find him.

Daryl's heart was thundering as he stepped from his bike walking intently. He could see the bastard laughing leaning against the hood of his cruiser. Daryl didn't give a fuck that he was an officer. He was lost in that head space of complete adrenaline fueled rage that had him breathing out breaths like a bull. Eyes lifted to him and the asshole set up glaring at him a smug smile on his face. The image of this bastards hands on Carol against her will had a murderous haze flooding his system and he picked his steps up.

"Aint seen you in a while Dixon...what do I owe this visit?"

Daryl snarled at him feeling his teeth baring at the man seconds before his fist connected with his face. "Fuck you Ed." Daryl barked. Ed fell back hard against the hood blood spraying from his nose and mouth. Daryl was on him in seconds his body doing like he'd been trained to do. He Kept Ed pinned in place but lost how many times he'd hit him as he jerked him from the hood to the ground.

Ed was struggling against him but after everything they'd been through Ed's police training fell to the wayside against Daryl's special ops training. He wasn't even speaking words but knew that the noises coming from him were that of an animal. He felt his arms and hands slick but didn't stop as he continued to beat the man. Ed wasn't fighting as much and he still didn't stop.

Will seen blue lights ahead and heard an ambulance as well. He got sick to his stomach and drove straight for it and parked right in the street. There was a large crowd but they parted for him. From the looks and the whispers around him he already knew he'd found his son.

Walking further he seen Rick but he was squatted talking to someone. When he stood he seen Daryl cuffed and being pulled to his feet. Rick had a sick look on his face as Daryl's hands were being recuffed behind his back. Will walked beyond the police tape and straight for his son. Daryl had a faraway look in his eyes that he didn't like. He had blood soaking his arms and shirt, he looked like someone had dunked him. His hair was coated in it but it was his face and throat that was painted red and catching his attention.

Rick looked at him and gave him a look, "Daryl did you hear me?"

When he didn't answer Will stepped closer, "Son look at me."

Daryl's eyes went to his face and Will nodded at Rick to try again. "Daryl do you understand your rights as they've been read to you?"

He was pulled standing the blue red lights dancing in his eyes, "Yes." His eyes cut to Will and he refused to move when Rick tried to budge him, "Carol..."

Will nodded at him, "She'll be fine son."

Daryl shook his head, "No you gotta watch out for her." Daryl's voice sounded almost frantic.

Rick looked at him, "Daryl with the shape Ed is in I don't think you need to worry about him assaulting her again. We're gonna send officers over to get a statement from her...it can help your case...and you need that."

Daryl shook his head again, "I don't give a fuck about my case or ED!" He snarled, "Carol's pregnant you can't...you gotta-" Daryl sounded like he was choking on his words but he was looking at his father his eyes bright and steady.

Will felt a flash of rage wash through him and it hit him just why Daryl had completely lost it. Daryl was protective as it was and if he knew she was pregnant and got hurt then he couldn't fault his son. He would have done the same. Daryl's eyes were wild and Rick started pulling him towards the cruiser.

"Nothings gonna happen Daryl." Will's voice was firm.

He nodded at him and let Rick push him into the back seat. Will wanted to walk over to the ambulance and put a bullet in Ed Peletiers head. He rubbed his face and Rick walked over that same sick look in his face.

"Will it took six of us to get him off Ed." Rick's voice was low while the cops cleared the crowd. "I'll be honest Ed aint in the best of shape. They've already called this in..."

Will swore under his breath and looked towards his son who had that same far away look in his eyes. He looked back at Rick, "How long?"

"Best case...couple of hours before they come for him." Rick had blood on him from the struggle. "What...what happened?"

"You heard him." Will's voice was dangerous, "Man assaulted a pregnant woman."
