Chapter 37

"What the fuck are ya doin' here, ya piece of shit?" Daryl snarled as he looked at the man who had given him and Mac permanent scars from their childhood on their bodies. Will smirked at them and stood to his full height as he spoke to all of them.

"Makin' this my town. A bunch of crazy people live here, and I hear that my own two sons have married two crazy whores?" Will asked coldly as he spotted Riley with Finn, Lucy, Kathy, Darcy, Lily and Matt huddling to her. Hugo walked beside him and spotted Beth. He walked over as Remy tried to walk towards her.

"Well, well, looks my oldest son isn't such a fuck up like the other two," he said looking at Beth intently. He then looked at Adam, Shiloh and Shawn who were huddled into her fearfully.

"You stay the fuck away from her, you bastard!" Remy yelled before two men started brutally beating him. Beth screamed for them to stop but none of them stopped beating Remy, who tried to fight back as Tate, Daryl and Kyle ran to help him along with Chibs and Mac.

"Leave him the fuck alone!" Daryl yelled as he dragged Remy away from them. Remy now had a black eye and a bloody mouth as everyone stared fearfully at Will Dixon and his army. Another man came over, and that was when they all saw what he was holding, and Maggie paled at the familiar man.

Negan, leader of the Saviours.

"Let's move out. Laura, make sure the women and children are placed in the mess hall!" Will instructed and Laura nodded as Dandy walked to where Chibs, Happy and Daryl were. He was smirking as Kerrianne, Riley and Moira were marched away by Kellan.

"Don't worry boys, I'll look after your girls. Who knows, maybe I'll even comfort them?" He taunted cruelly. Daryl snarled at him menacingly as he grabbed him by the shirt.

"If ya even fuckin' touch any of them or Riley...I swear to God, I will kill ya and mutilate ya so not even my old man knows what the fuck ya were," Daryl snarled. Dandy laughed at him as the men were shoved into the army truck and they started driving out of the safe zone as they heard the children crying for their fathers.

Lily and Judith, however, ran away from Michonne and Riley as they screamed for their parents when the men opened fire, but Daryl could still hear his daughter crying for him.

"DADDY, DADDY NO, COME BACK TO US!" Lily screamed running towards the truck. One of the soldiers grabbed her and Judith roughly as he watched helplessly.

That was the last time Daryl Dixon would see his family for five months.

Riley was terrified, but put up a brave front as all of the women were told to take off their jeans and change into dresses. Sister Eunice, or simply Eunice as she liked to be called, sat next to them as they all reluctantly took off their jeans and were given dresses to wear. Riley sat next to Beth and the others.

"Fuck Larry," Gemma said fuming that Larry had done this to them. She helped Tara tend to a bruised Wendy along with Moira.

"This is bullshit!" Riley exclaims, looking outside at the men. Her heart was on fire, and her eyes were narrowed with rage. This was not going to become like the asylum again. She couldn't let it happen. This would not end like it did then. They would get Daryl and the others back, and they would kill these people.

"Riley, we need to wait things-"

"I DID MY WAITING!" She snaps at Violet, who jumped in her seat. Riley was always so calm and collected, but right now she was fucking fuming. "Ten years of it! In Briarcliff! I'm not going to let this shit happen anymore! We're going to plan this out, and we are going to kill these people. We're different now, stronger, fiercer, and they're going to regret it when they find that out…" She growls, grabbing the dress into her hands.

"What are they gonna find out?" Beth asks as she looked at Riley with confused eyes. Riley looks at her, a look of pure hatred for the men and determination on her face.

"That they're messing with the wrong women."

Five Months Later:

These people were absolutely sick. And Daryl hated them all.

All the men had been taken away to fuck knows where, and everywhere they looked there was a fucking guard. After the first month of just plain anger and hatred, he eventually had to settle down before he caused even more pain for the others and for himself.

He wasn't stopping trying to get out, to get back to the kids, to get back to her. That was the only thing keeping him going now. The fact that she was still alive, and so were the kids, and that's why he kept living, kept trying to get out.

Some of the others had given up, but Daryl was still angry, still mad, and so were the rest of the men, and all they wanted to do was get the fuck out of there. It was torture, pain, and an endless nightmare. Especially not knowing what they were doing to their women back at the zone.

Jax was the one who was dangerous. His face was cold as stone as he and Daryl were being forced to run fifteen laps around the prison without taking any breaks. They were both sweating heavily as they ran around the prison and heard Sergeant Daniels yelling at them to move it before they finally managed to run faster when the man came over.

"Both of you shower and join the others in the courtyard. Something you need to know," the man said flatly and walked off. They both watched and quietly walked to the showers and got undressed before going under the cold water which soothed their hot skin. Daryl thought of Riley and the kids. God he missed them all so much.

He finished showering and dried off before he and Jax went to join the others. They saw Larry look at all of them coldly, a cruel smile on his face as he looked at them and spoke.

"As you have all worked hard for the last five months, you will be allowed to visit your families for one month," the man informed them as they were led to army vans and driven to Fort Charming.

"I hope Riley's ok," Daryl said quietly to Chibs, Tig, Mac and Happy. The four men nodded as they hoped that their women were alright. God Chibs hoped Moira and Quinn were alright.

Riley sat in back of the house doing Laura's laundry with Beth and the other women. All of them had bruises on their faces from where they had tried to defend themselves, and the men had responded by hitting them. They hadn't fought since, due to fearing for the safety of their children.

They all then saw Laura stride over. Riley hoped Daryl was safe along with Happy, Remy, her dad and Mac.

She gave Kerrianne and the other women a sad smile as she scrubbed some shirts, her hands aching from washing clothes in cold water. None of the women were allowed to wash their clothes in the washing machine unless they were allowed by Dandy or Will.

No one missed the way Will Dixon looked at his daughter in law and the hate he looked at Kerrianne with. Everyone knew Will Dixon and Dandy Mott were racist bastards.

So far, Will Dixon hadn't gotten that far with Riley, considering whenever he tried to get somewhere with her, someone always told him that he was needed for something. Dandy…on the other hand, had more free time on his hands…

She looks up at Laura, who smirks at her.

"Those better be fucking spotless, scrub," she sneers at Riley. The older girl sighs and glares at the bucket. "But for now, I guess you stop, since your pathetic family is coming back for a month." She looks up, her eyes wide.

Daryl was coming back?

"What?" Beth asks stunned as she drops the clothes into the bucket.

"That's what Will wanted me to tell you, so I guess stop. Don't get used to it though. You'll be back in here soon enough." She leaves and slams the door behind her, causing the rest of the women to jump, but Riley and Beth look closely at each other, a spark of hope in their eyes.

This might be their chance.

Whenever they got a spare moment together, they would talk about escaping, taking over the place, but the only thing they needed was ammo and guns, but after they found this place twice, they would have to get out of here.

They leave the room and Riley steps out first. She sees Lily and the rest of the kids rush over to her, and Riley holds them close to her body as they all heard trucks coming to the gates. Beth held the twins and Adam close to her as Riley looked at Finn in Lucy's arms.

Since Riley had been put basically on slave work, Lucy had really taken the eldest sibling role, and had been taking care of the kids when Riley wasn't able to, and she was so proud of her little girl.

The gates opened and the trucks came in, and Riley looks to each and every one of them, even though she couldn't see who was driving it let alone who was in it.

One of the army men come out and open the door, and the first person Riley sees is Daryl.

Lily doesn't even wait. She takes off like a bullet down the street and throws herself into Daryl's arms as he clumsily catches her in them, holding her tightly to him. She was crying softly, while Daryl simply held her to him. One by one all of the others kids race up and hold him, missing the warmth that had been taken away from them five months prior.

Daryl looks down at Finn in Lucy's arms. He had gotten bigger, and grown more hair, and the baby cooed up at him. Remy and Beth hugged each other tightly as he jumped off the truck, the twins and Adam crying happily.

Daryl looks up and sees Riley standing there in shock. He sees how she looked darker, like her light had been extinguished. Her hair was the same length, but her eyes had slight bags, and her cheeks had bruises on them. There were cuts on her arms, and there was a bandage around her left wrist.

He lets go off the kids and walks over to her, and that's when she breaks out of her trance and runs towards him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him hardly. Daryl wraps his own arms around her waist, lifting her off her feet and holding her tightly.

"I missed you so much," she cries when she pulls back. Tears were streaming down her face, and Daryl gently wiped them away as he kissed her gently, running his hands through her dirty hair.

He cups her face in his hands and glares at the bruises.

"Who did this to ya?" He growls.

"Will and Dandy, but don't worry about me. I'm fine," Riley said softly as she hugged him tightly and he held her back. He vowed to make this place safe for all of them as he looked around and held his kids tightly. They were all then escorted to their homes where they were finally left in peace as Riley held Daryl tightly and he kissed her tenderly.

"I was so worried about you, dad and the others," Riley said, hugging him tightly. She started cooking dinner and began making sure they had enough to eat. She cooked some pasta for all of them as Lily and Kathy set the table. Daryl sat down next to her as they watched the kids play and Pirate happily chased them.

"We're gonna make this place our home again. I promise Riley," Daryl said, kissing her lovingly. Riley nodded. They couldn't leave the fort. This place was their home, and Riley wasn't leaving it, and neither were her friends.

They would fight to defend their home.

Later on after having dinner, the kids were all curled into Daryl and Riley. The kids started getting sleepy. Riley and Daryl put them to bed as they kissed their foreheads lovingly.

"Daddy loves ya'll so much," Daryl said, kissing their foreheads, and they all smiled as they fell asleep. Daryl saw Riley just setting Finn down in his crib; she stroked his hair gently and bent down to kiss his forehead.

"Goodnight Finn, I love you," she said softly as she watched her son fall asleep.

Daryl walked towards her and kissed his son on the forehead tenderly. "Goodnight Finn. I love ya so much," he said. He paused for a second before he turned to Riley and crushed his lips onto hers as his hands started to pull up her dress.

She raised her hands slightly so he could get it up over her head as she walked over and dumped it into the dirty laundry pile. "I missed you," she said softly as she watched Daryl kick off his boots.

"I missed ya too Riley, so fuckin' much," he said, kissing her again as her hands ran over his skin to see if he was real.

She kissed him as she started to unbuckle his belt and then his jeans as he moved her to the bed and began kissing her neck.

She leaned into his touch, her hands winding into his hair, before she unbuttoned his shirt and threw it to the floor. She pulled back the blankets of the bed. "Come on, let's get into bed," she said softly.

They stumbled onto the bed and Daryl rolled on top of the bed as he kissed Riley's slender neck, then led a trail down her chest and now around her full breasts, which were aching for his touch and mouth.

She whispered his name softly as he took her nipple into his mouth and sucked gently, his tongue teasing the tip. He used one of his hands to massage her other breast, kneading softly, as he rolled the nipple between his fingers. She sighed as she rested her head back against her pillow, and took Daryl's free hand in her own.

He finished his touching of her breasts and joined his lips to hers once more as he slipped his right hand into her panties and began to finger fuck her roughly as she cried out.

He covered her mouth with his to muffle the sounds escaping her throat as his fingers rubbed against her clit harshly. She moaned into his mouth in obvious bliss as he picked up his speed, her small hips raising up, rocking against his fingers. "Ya enjoyin' this?" Daryl asked as he smirked down at her.

"Very much, I am enjoying this," she gasped as Daryl began to take off her panties and felt himself harden at seeing her beautiful naked body.

She slipped her fingers into his boxers and Daryl groaned as she pulled them down his legs and chucked them to the side.

"Gonna guess you missed me too?" she whispers seductively to him as she sees his erection pop up as soon as she removes them from his body. She gives him a few steady pumps and he groans out.

"Christ," he growls. "More than ya fuckin' know, Riley." She smiles and kisses him slowly before sinking herself down onto him, taking him as deep as she could into her. Both moan out at the sudden connection between them. This was where they belonged. To be with each other, in their arms, and just being close.

It had been too fucking long.

"Shit," he groans long, grabbing her slender hips as she begins to move up and down at a steady pace. His hips moves up to meet hers as she moved, and slow but surely, both had lost the pace and were fucking each other like wolves in heat. Just like they used to do.

She whimpered in response and nibbled on his lips, sucking and biting the tender skin. She would never get enough of him, of this man.

Daryl slipped his tongue past her lips and explored her mouth as he kissed her passionately. His hands wandered down over her chest and stomach. He felt the rough areas where there were scars, which had been left from the time she had spent with the Briarcliff people and Will. Riley flinched when he touched them, so Daryl moved his hands away and wound them into her hair instead.

"Yer beautiful. Never forget that Riley," he told her as he kissed her passionately and slid inside her tight, wet heat. He groaned in pleasure as she rocked her hips against him.

"I love you," she said against his lips.

"I love ya too," Daryl whispered softly as he raised his hips up to thrust into her. His mouth latched onto her neck, and he began to suck, lick, and kiss the skin he found there. Riley moaned quietly as they moved together. Daryl was being slower and gentle this time, and Riley arched her back into him, her body desperate with need.

"Daryl... please," she breathed, as she took his hands. "More."

He thrusted into her harder, not wanting to hurt her and sucked on her pulse point, sighing heavily as he pounded into her.

"Mine."

"Yours Daryl, all yours," she moaned as she gripped onto his arms. She felt so good around him, her walls hugging him tight every time he slammed into her.

"Too much?" he asked worried as he watched her face for any signs of discomfort.

She shook her head. "No, I'm good," she gasped. He angled her hips and it made him feel even deeper, making a shudder ripple through her body that told him she was unbearably close.

He kissed her hard on the mouth as his right thumb pinched her clit and she cried out in sheer pleasure, her body shuddering with her orgasm.

"Daryl!" She moaned.

Daryl smiled down at her as he felt her walls tightening around him, and he reached between them to rub her clit, trying to make her cum harder. He covered her mouth with his again to swallow her screams of pleasure, so she didn't wake up the whole house.

Seconds after, his whole body became rigid, and he buried himself inside her and allowed the wave of his release to crash over him. He came like mad, groaning out her name, the sensations of pleasure so sharp he thought he might pass out.

He kisses her one last time before falling next to her on the mattress, running his hands over her back. She curls into him, burying her face into his neck, inhaling his scent that she had missed for so long.

"What's it like?" She asks, referring to the prison. Daryl snorts.

"Hell on earth. Even worse than the walkers outside." She takes his hand into hers and squeezes it lightly

"Things ain't much better here," she says. Daryl smirks at her slightly.

"That a bit of an accent I hear?" He chuckles. She smiles and rolls her eyes.

"Well what do you expect? I've been around you people for years now." He smiles lightly and holds her close, placing his chin on top of her blonde curls. He looks down at the bruises, and a sudden dark thought enters his head.

"Did any of them touch you?" He growls. She's quiet, but that was all he needed to know. He closes his eyes in anger. "Who?" He asks calmly.

"Dandy," she says quietly. "But he didn't…he didn't rape me. He only touched me." He was tempted to get up and go beat the shit out of the man, but he knew he wouldn't get anywhere if he did that. He was also too busy enjoying being in Riley's arms again.

Riley looks up at him and feels her heart speed up. She looks down at her stomach and wills herself not to cry.

She sighs and leans up, her angelic body reflecting in the moonlight. He smiles up at her as she takes his hands in hers gently.

"Daryl…" She starts softly, closing her eyes tightly. Daryl sees the pain on her face and leans up, a concerned look on his own. Before he could even say anything, she blurted it out. "I was pregnant."

Daryl stilled at hearing Riley saying she was pregnant. He looked at her and realized she must have lost the baby when he had been sent to prison. He looked at her in shock and agony. Riley closed her eyes as tears slid down her face silently.

"It was after you were taken away. Dandy...he tried to rape me, but when I pushed him away he beat me...I started bleeding and Tara, she tried to save the baby, but I lost it," she whispered, pained as she took his rough hand in her own smaller hand.

"Can ya still have kids?" Daryl asked numbly. He would have been a dad again to that baby, but Dandy had taken that away from him. He looked at his wife.

"I can, but please don't blame yourself," Riley said, holding his hand tightly as she looked at him pleadingly and swallowed.

"Beth lost a baby too, and Violet's pregnant," she said quietly. Daryl felt sick as he looked at her.

"How did she lose it?" He asked quietly. Riley sighed sadly as she looked at Daryl with sad blue eyes.

"Hugo. He lost his temper one day and beat her. She can still have kids though. They're trying to turn us into breeding stock," Riley said, giving him a sad smile. Daryl held her tightly to him.

"I'm so sorry. I shoulda been here," Daryl said, burying his face into her neck as tears fell down his face. He and Riley would have had another baby.

Riley didn't say anything for a minute, but she held him tightly as he sobbed into her, and she started crying herself as the couple wept over their lost child, a lost sibling to Lily, Lucy, Matt, Darcy, Finn and Kathy.

The baby that they wouldn't have.

Remy and Beth were lying on the bed quietly together. Remy was struggling to take it all in as he took in Beth's words, that she had been pregnant when Hugo had beat it from her body.

He would have been a dad again. Adam, Shiloh and Shawn would have had a baby brother or sister, but his bastard of a father had taken that from him.

"Remy please say something," Beth said pleadingly as she looked at him. He had his back turned to her, and she could see fresh scars on his body. She heard him sigh.

"I don't know what to say, Beth," Remy said, his voice numb as he turned to face her. She
saw his eyes were wet with tears as she pulled him into her and they both started crying for their lost baby.

"I should have protected you more. You were here alone with the kids and that bastard hurt ya!" Remy snarled ashamed.

Beth buried her face into his neck and he kissed her hair lovingly, stroking her cheeks. He kissed her lips and she gladly responded.

"Please," Beth pleaded, wanting his body on top of hers as she looked at him pleadingly. She felt his hands on her soft, silky skin as she stroked his back, feeling his scars.

Remy growled and pulled her mouth against his. The two kissed passionately, and he pulled up her nightgown.

They spent the rest of the night loving each other, making up for their lost time, remembering what could have been, what baby could have been born into the world.

The next morning, Daryl was the first to wake up out of the two of them on the bed. But honestly, all he wanted to do was lay down in that bed forever and never let Riley go.

He still thought about her words from the night before. The baby that she lost. Just remembering the words made him angry, with rage firing up in him. All he wanted to do was storm out of the house and beat the shit out of Dandy.

But he knew he couldn't do that. He could never do that. Not until they plan something out, something to get these people away from their home. They weren't going to leave. This was where they belong and they weren't going to let these assholes take over.

He looks down at her stomach and feels himself sigh. That had been a baby in there, an actual living baby, and Dandy had taken that away from him and Riley.

He rubs her stomach slightly, feeling the few scars that were on her beautiful skin. She might not think that she's all that, but Daryl thought that she was perfect.

His eyes move to her nude upper back. Of course there were still the scars there from when she was bullied back in school, but something else stood out to him.

A bit of ink.

It was on her upper right shoulder, and as he inspected closer, it was his name in black ink written in cursive.

She loved looking at his tattoos, but he remembered a while back she said that she would never get one because she was afraid of the pain of getting one.

She had blatantly said fuck you to her fears and gotten one to remember him. All so she could see his name.

He looked at her sleeping face in awe, and ran his hands over her sides, kissing the spot where the tattoo was.

"Riley," He whispered gently. "Riley, come on, wake up baby," he continued, starting to kiss her neck. She woke up slightly and moaned in her sleepy state.

"What's wrong Daryl?" Riley asked sleepily. She felt Daryl's lips on her right upper shoulder. She then realized that Daryl had seen her tattoo as he moved her on her stomach and ran his hands along her soft back.

He thrust into her from behind, wrapping his arms around her front as she moaned softly. He buried his face into the back of her neck and sucked on the skin as he slowly started to move inside her, his hips pulling back, before he pushed forward again, grunting as her tight walls squeezed him hard. "So good, Riley," he groaned.

"So fuckin' good." He began to pick up his pace, thrusting into her roughly as he grabbed onto her waist and held her tightly. He loved the noises she was making underneath him as her fingers gripped the blanket on the bed. He heard her gasp, and saw her hands tighten in the blankets, knowing she was just about to reach the edge. Suddenly, he pulled away from her and stopped.

He heard her panting as she tried to catch her breath. "No...No...Please don't stop Daryl," she said, her voice heavy with frustration. He knew how close she had been to her orgasm.

He rolled her over gently so she was on her back. "Did I say ya could cum yet?" he asked. She shook her head, her beautiful face illuminated in the light from the sunlight. "Didn't think so. Told ya yer gonna need to wait, alright? Yer cumming when I tell ya to," he said as he kissed her again gently, before slowly sliding back into her, from the front this time. She moaned again and slid her legs up his waist, wrapping them around him, locking him in tightly. Daryl looked deep into her eyes as he pounded into her, seeing the love she had for him.

He gripped her hands tightly, rubbing his thumb over her wedding ring as she moaned and whimpered underneath him. She rested her hands on his right hand, pushing the hair out of his sweaty face as he grunted, his hips slamming into hers every time he thrust forward. He felt his balls start to tighten up and knew he couldn't last much longer, but he knew she wouldn't need to either. He leaned forward to whisper in her ear.

"Cum for me now, Riley."

Riley cried out his name as her walls clamped down around him, and her orgasm washed over her, leaving her body trembling with pleasure. Her fingernails were scratching against his back, and her legs tightened, pulling him closer. Daryl let out a long groan as he felt himself explode, and came hard into her, his teeth clamping down on her shoulder as he emptied himself. They both lay shaking on the bed as they held each other tightly.

"I love ya so much. I ain't gonna let ya go again," Daryl promised. Riley smiled up at him as they both put on some clothes, which was just a shirt and panties for Riley and sweatpants for Daryl. They saw kids run in with Pirate and Finn.

"Can we sleep with you two?" Lucy asked quietly.

"Of course ya can," Daryl said, making sure there was room as they all got under the covers and held each other tightly. Finn cuddled his family tightly while Kathy clung to them.

"I missed you daddy," Matt said quietly. Daryl sighs and pulls him close to him, holding him tightly.

"I missed ya too, kid," he mumbles, looking at Riley with sorrowful eyes. She smiles sadly at him, telling him mentally that it wasn't his fault that everything happened. Shit happens in life, they just had to get through it to reach the sunshine again.

"The people here are mean," Lucy says, looking at Daryl with a furrowed brow. "Everyone before was so nice, and now all they do is yell at us and hit us." Daryl looks at her surprised.

"Hit ya?" he asks quietly. Kathy nods as she looks down at the sheets.

"The little kids get locked up if we do something wrong. The older kids get hit," she says quietly. Lily looks at Finn and holds her younger sibling tightly to her. Daryl looks outside and silently vows in his head.

He was going to kill every single last motherfucker who took this place from them. He didn't care who they were, or what they did. They were going to die. They weren't going to go back to that prison. They were going to take this place back, no matter what.

"Mommy and Lucy have been protecting us," Lily says from her spot. Lucy blushes from her spot and Riley smiles, rubbing the little six year olds back. Daryl smiles at the little girl.

"Oh really?" he chuckles. She smiles and nods her head, a confident look on her face.

"I don't want them to hurt my family. I try to protect them if I can," she says quietly. Daryl kisses her hair tenderly.

"Ya did good, sweetheart," He replies softly.

"Daddy, when the bad people are gone can you teach me how to use a crossbow?" Riley nearly laughs from her spot and looks at Daryl with a 'hell no!' look, but he simply smirks and nods his head. She feels her jaw drop.

"Sure, Matt," he says. Riley narrows her eyes at him, but he leans over and pecks her lips lightly. She rolls her eyes but replies happily to the kiss. He could be like that sometimes, but she trusted he would keep the boy safe once all this blew over.
