4 Weeks Later

Carol sat on the small bed, a sheet wrapped around her waist as Jacqui sat in the corner holding Sophia. In the weeks they had been back, Carol had noticed subtle changes in her body. Her baby weight was all but gone now, but over the last week she had also noticed a decrease in her milk. Hershel and Bob both had check her over, finding nothing obviously wrong with Carol besides being underweight like most of them were.

Now as she sat there waiting on them to clear her to be able to resume normal activities, she couldn't help but wonder if she was doing something wrong all together. Frowning some as Bob and Rosita came back in the room, she breathed out, "Well? Anything?"

Shaking his head, Bob crossed his arms over his chest, "It's hard to say, Carol. I looked at the milk sample under the scope we have, but it's not showing me anything. I think more then likely you're milk is drying up because of poor nutrition, which is something we're all going through. We just don't have the proper amounts of vitamins and all that our bodies need."

Coming over to them, Rosita handed Carol her shirt and pants while Bob continued, "Everything else looked okay though. I still don't want you pushing yourself for another week or so, but...I don't see why you can't go back to normal activities."

"And Sophia?" Carol asked, worried about her daughter.

"Healthy as a horse," Rosita said, giving Carol an encouraging smile. We'll be making a run back to the town near where we found y'all. There was a doctor's office there that looked like it hadn't been hit. They might have some baby immunizations that are still good that we can give to her to boost her immune system."

Adjusting Sophia, Jacqui added, "And we have that pallet of baby formula and cereals out there. It won't take much to get her on that now, sweetie. I know my sister had to change up from breast feeding to bottle feeding when her milk dried up. It didn't hurt the baby at all. Matter of fact, he got a little chubbier."

Carol nodded and released a deep breath, "I have a few bottles that Daryl had found. Guess we'll start her on that at her next feeding then. But you're sure she's fine?"

"Positive," Bob smiled. "Probably healthier then all of us here." Looking over at the baby, he then looked back at Carol and gave her a nod, "I'll leave and let you get dressed. If you have any problems though, let me or Hershel know."

"I will," Carol said and waited as he and Rosita left out the room. Once the door closed, Carol got up and began to slip her pants back on, "Okay, so, I guess I need to go pull a few cans of formula out and ready for her later."

"Hearing the baby grunting some, Jacqui smirked and then chuckled, "And you might want to get a diaper ready for her to, momma. I think she's leaving you a little present in the one she's got on."

Carol couldn't help the laugh that emerged from her. Her and Jacqui had grown closer, the other woman more like a sister to Carol then a friend. Once she was dressed, Carol went over, collecting Sophia in her arms and looking down at her, "Are you leaving me a present, sweetie?" Sophia looked up at her with her blue eyes and Carol couldn't help but smile at her daughter. Walking out with Jacqui, she pulled the blanket around Sophia a little closer around her, "I wish we could figure out a way to heat this place."

Jacqui rubbed her hands together and nodded, "I'd kill for a space heater or even a fire place right about now."

"Daryl, Merle and Abe have been trying to see about a way to heat the place, even it it's just the big room for when we all eat," Carol said as they walked back towards the front. "We put Sophia in the bed between us last night to make sure she stayed somewhat warm."

"Good idea. Body heat is the best right now. I know Theodore is like an oven at night...I just curl up behind him and burrow under the covers."

Carol chuckled, "Yeah, Daryl's like a furnace. I think that's why Sophia and I stay warm."

Amy came towards them, bundled up with a winter coat on and a scarf around her neck. Giving the younger woman a smile, Amy addressed Jacqui, "Daryl and Merle brought back a deer for dinner. Should we make a stew with it or cook it up on the grill?"

"A stew would probably be better for now. It'll last longer. I'll be there in a minute and help get it going," Jacqui said and then turned her attention back to Carol as Amy headed back from where she'd came.

"Do you want me to help?" Carol asked, ready to jump right back in.

"No, honey, we got it. Why don't you get that formula for Sophia and you might want to go ahead and boil a couple pots of water and put them in your room. You'll need it for later. There are some empty water bottles in the kitchen you can pour the water in once it's boiled."

Carol smiled and shifted Sophia, getting a whiff of her diaper, "Okay. Right now though...I think a certain someone needs to be changed. I'll be out in a few minutes."

"Alright," Jacqui laughed lightly, parting ways with Carol.

Carol didn't see Daryl until dinner time when everyone gathered in what had once been a conference room, but was now a dinning room of sorts for them. She sat between him and Merle, eating a thick hearty stew Amy, Jacqui and Maggie had made from the deer they had managed to hunt down along with some canned vegetables and packets of powdered gravy. Several discussions were going on around, but Daryl and Merle mostly just listened, only giving there opinion when needed.

Daryl finished off his bowl first and moved it aside and then took Sophia from Carol. She had a fresh bottle of formula with them just incase Sophia decided she wanted to eat a meal with the rest of them. Merle kept glancing over at his brother and Sophia, smirking every now an then when he looked over at them.

Wiping his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt, Merle cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention, "Think we figured out how we can get us some heat up in here."

Having everyone attention, Merle continued, "When me and Daryl was out huntin' we came across a housin' development that had been goin' up. There were a few wood stoves, the newer ones of course and a shit ton of bricks. We'd have ta haul it all back here, but if'n we could, then we can at least get us some heat up in here."

Chewing as he listened, Hershel glanced around the table at everyone and then looked over at Merle, "These newer stoves, don't they have to run on gas?"

Shaking his head, Merle sat back in his chair some, "Nah, can convert 'em ta where we can burn wood in 'em. Just have ta watch what we burn and keep'em cleaned out."

Sophia started to fuss and Carol handed the bottle over to Daryl. Once he had Sophia eating, he added, "Looked ta be enough tubing ta do a couple rooms. Just have ta have it come out of one of the upper windows. Can cut out some wood ta fit around it and then seal it up so no wind get's in."

Rick who remained quiet most of the time, finally spoke up, "How many stoves were there?"

Merle looked over at the man, pursing his lips and then answering, "Counted four...could be more if'n we looked around. Sure beats the hell out of freezing our asses off. Gonna be a cold winter. Kids don't need ta be freezing ta death."

Rick's eyes traveled to Hershel who gave him a slight nod of his approval. Looking back at Merle, Rick breathed out, "How many men do you think it'll take?"

Running his tongue over his teeth, Merle shrugged, looking over at his brother and then back at the former sheriff, "'Bout five. Figured me, my brother, Abe, Guillermo and T could handle it." Narrowing his eyes at the man, Merle added, "Ain't gonna leave ya with ya pants down, sheriff. Still gonna have plenty of guns around."

Rick;s jaw clenched at the comment and tone Merle seemed to like to use around him. A few moments passed and Rick rubbed his forehead, "Alright." Looking over at Glenn, he sighed, "Might have to put off that run you wanted ta do."

"Why?" Michonne asked from her spot in the corner of the room and surprising everyone with her question.

Licking his lips, Rick sighed, "Gonna have five people already out there. Can't risk sending anyone else out."

"What did you need for the run?" she asked, looking at Glenn.

Feeling like a deer caught in the headlight's, Glenn glanced around before clearing his throat, "Uh...well, we needed some more fuel...and ammo. And some more meds, we're running low."

"There's a doctor's office in the town we were in before we found Daryl and them," Rosita said, glancing at Michonne and getting a nod from her. "They'd have sample medicines and even immunizations for the baby. It didn't look like it had been touched."

"Glenn, Rosita and me can go...we know how to get there. Shouldn't take more then a day," Michonne said, her tone soft yet firm. Her eyes traveled around and then went back to Rick, "There's no ammo there that we know of, but there are other cars. Can siphon gas from them and get what we need."

"Cleared out all the ammo," Daryl said looking over at Glenn. "And most of the stores too. Ain't gonna find much in 'em except maybe some clothes."

"Could use some warmer ones," Jacqui said with a quirk of her brow, "That and undergarments."

Pointing to her, Glenn raised his brow, "Get me a list and I can see what I can find."

"Now wait..." Rick said only to be interrupted by Hershel.

"Rick...These folks are right. We need these things. We'll still have plenty of people here to protect those who can't fight. If we get any snow this year, we're not going to be able to get out and get what we need." Lifting his chin, he took in a breath and then spoke again, "Let them get what we need now before it's too late."

Rick thought about it for a moment before giving in. Having finished his dinner, he stood, collecting his bowl to place in the pot to be taken to wash, "I've got watch." Running his hand over Carl's head, he leaned down, kissing the top of his head, "No staying up reading."

"I'll make sure he goes to sleep," Amy said, giving Rick a smile an then Carl one.

Carol finished off her bowl, but Jacqui quickly reached across, putting another large spoonful in. Giving the woman a smile, she sat back down, "Need to get your weight up some, sweetie."

"I'm not..."

"Jacqui's right, Carol," Hershel said. Taking a drink of his water, he nodded to her, "You're not nursing anymore, but you still have to take care of yourself and that means getting your weight back up some...even if it's just a little."

Merle smirked, nudging Carol with his elbow, "Told ya you were getting' to skinny, Mouse. Eat up...these fine ladies did a damn good job on cookin' that venison up." Giving Jacqui a wink, he then picked up his bowl, "Best get out there with Officer Friendly."

The dining room slowly began to empty and before long only Carol and Daryl were left. She finished off the extra Jacqui gave her and then got there bowls, taking them to be washed while Daryl took Sophia to there room to put her down for the night. When she came back to the room, he had Sophia's diaper change and was washing her off. Getting her a sleeper out, Carol took it to him and watched as he dressed the baby.

Smiling, she rubbed his lower back as he picked Sophia up, giving her a kiss on the cheek, "Hershel said she might get a tummy ache from the formula until she get's used to it."

"Think she'll be just fine. She's strong." Putting Sophia into the basket next to the bed, Daryl then turned back to Carol, his hands going to her waist and pulling her in close, "'Sides bein' underweight, what did they say 'bout you?"

Resting her hands on his chest, Carol looked up into his eyes, "I got the clear to do what I want again. Bob said everything looked good but I should still take the prenatal's for awhile longer until my hormones return to normal, especially being I won't be breastfeeding now."

Daryl nodded and then gave her a kiss before letting her go so she could get ready for bed. Collecting his bed clothes, he left out the room to go change and to give Carol some privacy while she got ready for bed. When he returned, she was already under the covers with her book in hand and laying on her side facing Sophia. Putting his clothes to the side, Daryl crawled in next to her and came up behind Carol. Looking over her shoulder, his other hand snaked around her waist, "Thought ya finished that one."

"Different one," she smiled, turning her head slightly to look at him. He kissed her cheek and she whispered, "Want one to read?"

Shaking his head slightly, he nuzzled her neck and whispered against her skin, "Not tonight."

Closing her eyes as his lips ghosted over her skin, Carol laid her book down, letting it rest beside her on the bed. Lowering her head to the pillow gave him better access to her neck and he took full advantage of it, his lips and tongue gliding over her skin. Carol's heart pounded in her chest and when he moved up to just behind her ear a soft whimper of pleasure escaped from her lips. She had never had this type of reaction with anyone before and it surprised her when the tingling feeling she'd felt moved down her body to her core.

Holding her close, Daryl lost himself in her. Being near Carol, smelling her womanly scent, and just being able to hold her had an effect on him he had never had with any other woman. He didn't mind taking his time with her, wanting to please her before himself. And even if she did put the brakes on, he would willingly wait until she was ready. Her hand closed over his, squeezing it before sliding it up her stomach with hers and then over her right breast, covering it. Daryl paused for a moment, lifting his lips from her and waiting to see what she wanted. When she squeezed his hand around her breast, he nuzzled her ear and whispered, "Ya sure?"

Carol moved her book, letting it fall to the floor and then rolling over onto her back so she could see him better. Gazing up into his eyes, she kept his hand against her, whispering back, "I'm sure, Daryl. I want this...I want you."

Her other hand trailed up his back and he exhaled heavily, his heart starting to pound harder against his chest. His lips touched her lips slightly and pulled away, his breath coming more heavily, "Carol…"

"I need you…" she whispered softly as her hand continued to roam. Licking her lips, she then swallowed and brought her other hand to his chest, her fingers moving slowly through the light dusting of his chest hair and over his warm skin.

Tracing his finger from her lips to her chin, he stared at her hungrily, his desires scratching at the surface. Lowering himself down, he kissed her along the jaw line and smiled as he nuzzled her skin, gYa drive me crazy, woman. h

Smiling, Carol closed her eyes, her hands moving over his skin, gYou do the same to me. h Opening her eyes back, she looked into his, seeing the love and lust residing there. Reaching with one hand, she ran her finger through his hair, gWe fll have to keep it quiet otherwise everyone will get an ear full...and we'll wake Sophia. h

Daryl snickered as his hand moved over her breast, caressing the swell of it before giving attention to her nipple, watching as she arched into his touch. He could hear her gasp and he kissed her neck softly as he whispered, gI won ft have a problem, but you might. h

Shaking her head slightly, Carol breathed out, gI cI hope not. h Biting her lip as his fingers rolled and then pinched her nipple, she arched again and moaned softly, gYes. h

Pulling at the nipple more he groaned as his cock throbbed, a result of the sound of pleasure in her voice. He moved against her body, wanting more and more to submerge himself inside of her. Biting her neck slightly, he lifted and then allowed his lips to graze her collar bone and then trailing to the opposite breast. She let go of him, pulling her tank top over her head and dropping it onto the floor beside the bed.

Daryl stared down at her for a moment before lowering his mouth down and tantalizing her pebbling nipple with his tongue. He traced a circle around before taking it into his mouth, biting it and then pulling away. Hearing it pop out of his mouth, he smiled deviously as he looked to see her lost in a blissful passion, still tweaking the other nipple. He could feel her writhing under him and he thrust his hips, imagining being enveloped within her warm, moist walls.

Gripping at the sheets with one hand, her other roamed over his back, her nails scrapping at his skin. The feel of his mouth on her caused her body to pulse, and her blood run like liquid fire through her. Slowly opening her blue eyes, her chest rose and fell with each breath and she could feel the wetness forming between her legs.

Devouring her flesh more, his fingers walked down the length of her torso. Reaching the shorts she liked wearing to bed sometimes, he sat up some, his eyes meeting hers. When she nodded to him, he hooked his fingers into the waist band and slowly pulled them and her panties down her legs. Taking in a deep breath when she was finally fully exposed to him, Daryl licked his lips and then moved back to her. Laying on his side beside her, he kissed her again and then began to trail kisses and light nips down her torso. His hand moved lower, over her abdomen then skimmed the patch of hair between her legs and winced as he parted her swollen lips to find her profusely wet. Groaning as he bit her nipple again, he swirled his finger within her juices and found her clit, circling it lazily at first, but then applied pressure, feeling as her body reacted immediately.

Bucking her hips up, Carol moaned as she bit her lip to keep from crying out or waking Sophia. The sensations he was causing to flow through her was driving her mad, wanting more then anything to feel his hard cock sheathed inside her. Spreading her legs more for him, Carol began to move her hips, wanting more friction on her clit. Gripping the sheet, she breathed out, "Y-Yes...yes."

Her admonishments reached his ears and Daryl lifted away from her now tortured nipples and traced a path downward, his lips ghosting over her skin. He could feel the muscles contracting under his lips and smirked as her aroma hit him, enticing him to move faster. From her belly button, he licked his way to the patch of hair and ran his tongue through her slit, tasting her fully for the first time. He moaned as he flicked his tongue out to make contact with her clit and lifted her legs over his shoulders as he ground his face deep within her.

Pushing her head back as both hands gripped and pulled the sheets, Carol's hips bucked up, his talented tongue going to work on her clit as he sucked it into his mouth. The feel of his facial hair added to the stimulation he was affording her and she clenched her jaw, her breathing coming harshly through her teeth. Lifting her head slightly only to push it back at his tongue flicked her clit once more, she panted, "M-More...please...more."

Rising some, Daryl opened her up more and as he slid his tongue down more to her entrance, he pointed it and sunk within her, impaling her with his tongue. Moving his free hand over her core, he spread her lips with two fingers and attended to her hardened clit, rubbing it furiously as he fucked her with his tongue. He could hear her struggling to stay silent and pushed further, the taste of her on his tongue pulling his own arousal to the surface.

Reaching for her breasts, Carol kneaded them hard before pinching both nipples between her fingers. A sexual energy that she'd never felt with anyone before pulsed through her and she could barely contain herself any longer. Breathing out heavily, her body pulsed as her orgasm began to rip through her. Bucking her hips involuntarily, she grabbed the sheet pulling it hard from the edges of the bed and closed her eyes tightly as she struggled to not scream out his name.

Her release flowed from her and he took it all, taking her furiously. Even as her body gave up her essence, he didn ft stop, wanting to take her to the very edge of pleasure. Her body moved sensually as she began to relax out of her orgasm, coming down from the ecstasy of his touch. Finally slowing his menstruation fs, he lifted from her to see her chest heaving from the exertion. Kissing her mound, he traced his way back up, his tongue licking at her now sweat laden skin, the saltiness mixing with her sweetness.

Her muscles caved with his touch as he slowly came back up her body. When he reached her lips, she kissed him, there tongues mingling and tasting herself on him. Her arms wrapped around him and when they parted she whispered breathlessly, "You should come with a warning."

Daryl smirked and exhaled lightly as he nuzzled her lovingly. The scent of their fresh escapades hung around them and kept him in the mood, his fingers lazily playing with a stiff nipple. He moved his hips deeper into hers and licked her neck, whispering into her ear, "That's what happens when I can't get enough of ya. Wish I could hear ya scream my name."

"I wanted too," Carol purred as her hands moved over his back. "But, I think you need to be taken care of also."

Arching his brow decisively as he lifted from her, he smiled wickedly, the feeling of her hands caressing his skin inflaming him even more. Closing his eyes, he exhaled lightly and arched into her touch even as his hips moved slightly. Being with her infused him with desire beyond belief, his body hardly able to contain itself. Opening his eyes, he looked down at her and smiled as her legs inched up his in a slow, sensual manner.

"Ya think so?" he asked lazily. The movement of her legs against his kept him rapt and he hissed in pleasure as she scraped her nails against his skin again. "You're startin' off in the right direction."

"Let see if I can finish it in an even better one," she purred as her hands came around to his chest and raked down and over his nipples to his stomach. Smiling as his muscles caved under her touch, she brought one hand back up, letting it explore his chest as her other snaked down to his sweat pants. Sliding her hand under the waist band of his pants and boxers, she licked her lips as her hand found his hard cock. Wrapping her fingers around it, she began to slowly stroke him, "Wonder how quiet you'll stay now."

His body caved to her slow and torturous strokes and he could hear her taunting tone as he struggled to keep quiet. The more she stroked, the more he wanted to scream her name, the feeling of her soft hand around his member sending his heart racing. His hips thrust into her grasp, increasing the friction slightly. Grimacing, he whispered through clenched teeth, "Carol...faster. Go faster."

Increasing her strokes, Carol reached with her other hand, slipping it around his neck and bringing him down to her some. Feeling as if she could let go with him and explore the new side he was bringing out in her, Carol decided to try something she had once hated and something new to her as well. Keeping her voice at a whisper, she smiled, "Is this what you wanted? Or would you rather have my mouth wrapped around you, taking you deep, sucking your cum out of you?"

His thoughts ran wild with the options she was giving him and he knit his brow in concentration, willing himself to speak without roaring with pleasure. He had never heard her speak the way she was, but dammit if it didn't turn him on even more. He nodded as he pursed his lips and opened his eyes, his voice thick with want. "Suck...me."

Nodding, Carol gave him a squeeze and whispered again, "On your back then, Pookie." Releasing him and slipping her hand out, she rolled with him as he got on his side of the bed and laid back against the pillows. Moving between his legs, she hooked her fingers into the waist bands and pulled both his sweat pants and boxers down and off at the same time. Taking a few seconds to catch her breath, Carol also admired the view of his body.

Tossing the clothes aside, her hands then ran up his legs to his hips before coming inwards and taking his fully erect member back into her hands. Leaning forward, she slowly licked up the underside of his cock and then whispered, "Stay quiet."

A smile came and he shook his head as he closed his eyes, her tongue driving him mad. He groaned softly and looked down at her, "Gonna to be the death of me, woman." As she slipped him into her warm mouth, he hissed and arched his back, grasping at the covers. She took him slowly, almost decadently, causing him to thrust into her mouth. Gaining slight control, Daryl looked back down at her, watching as she devoured him hungrily.

Ever so slowly, Carol moved her mouth down on him, her tongue pressing and sliding down the back of his cock and she sucked him, taking him deep into the back of her throat and holding him there for a little bit before ascending him once again. When her lip fs were once again around the engorged flared head, her tongue swirled around it and then teased his tip. Hearing him hissing in pleasure, she smiled to herself, knowing she was doing it right apparently and then slowly went back down, taking him deep once more.

The slow tempo pulled at his resolve and he cringed as she took him deeper, massaging his member with her throat muscles. His arousal was building as she took her time with him, his release scratching at the surface as he listened to her sucking with pleasure. The idea of having her take him in this manner thrilled him and caused him to inadvertently thrust, throwing his head back in an effort to remain quiet. He wanted to pull her away and sink himself deep within her folds to finish this, but he knew he couldn ft yet and a frustrated sigh erupted and he thrust harder into her welcoming mouth.

"Carol…faster…"

Keeping her lips firmly around him, she started to bob her head more, taking him deep and then pulling back up. As he thrust again, Carol got an idea and got up onto her hands and knees, but kept her mouth on him. Keeping the suction on him, she felt another thrust, her tongue lapping at the underside as she looked up the bed at him as he began to thrust more.

"Carol," he moaned as she continued her motions, driving him insane with pleasure. He thrust harder and she reciprocated with a forceful suck, pulling his release closer to the surface. He wasn't going to last long, and he bit down on his tongue to stave the passion, a grunt coming instead. Able to speak briefly, he hissed out, "Goin'…to cum…"

Increasing her suction on him, she let him set the pace, working his cock with her tongue as he pushed his hips upwards. Reaching with one hand, she cupped his sac and squeezed gently.

Having had too much stimulation, Daryl felt himself losing control and struggled in vain to maintain his tenuous hold on his release. Groaning more, he thrust harder into her mouth and felt his seed surge forth, stiffening his muscles as she took every drop. When he was spent completely, Daryl laid back and panted, his eyes closed in concentration.

Her mouth continued to move up and down his member slowly, drawing every drop from him. Once he was laying back on the bed, she made sure he was clean with her mouth before slowly letting him slip from her lips. Giving his cock a kiss, she then slowly kissed her way back up him until she came to his face. Smiling as he lay there with his eyes closed and getting his breathing under control, she waited until she saw them slowly start to open.

"You doin' okay there, Pookie?"

Taking a moment, he turned his head to her and smirked, "Yeah...was seein' stars there for a second. Talk about coming with a warnin' you're a damn lethal weapon." Reaching to touch her lips with his fingertip, he smiled, "If this is whats ta come, we're gonna to have to get us a room away from these assholes and Sophia her own room. "

Smiling, Carol laid on her side facing him, one hand resting on his chest and her leg draped over his, gOh I think that might be a really good idea. She's a little too young to hear her daddy cussing and yelling up a storm. h

"Or her momma screamin' my name at the top of her lungs," Daryl added mischievously. He turned on his side, feeling her leg shift with the movement and then rest once more on him. Staring at her, he blinked slowly, "It's still your call, sweetheart."

"I know." Tracing one finger down his jaw to his chin, Carol smiled, "I'm sure I'll be screaming more then your name though. They'll probably be a more or a harder thrown in there as well."

Daryl chuckled and traced the side of her face with his fingers before sighing lightly, "Ya might get a lot more out of me. Been waitin' for this for a while now." Leaning to kiss her, he then pulled her close to his body, her warmth instantly enveloping him. There was nothing like being in her arms, and as he drew a breath, he took in her scent, a smile of satisfaction coming over him.

Carol starred into his blue eyes, her heartbeat increasing slightly as she whispered to him, "I love you, Daryl. I never thought love could feel like this. But you...you've shown me what real love is in your own way."

"Don't know how I done that," he replied back, unsure exactly what to say.

"Well, you have...in more ways then one. I trust you more then I've ever trusted anyone." Leaning in, she kissed his lips softly and whispered against them, "I love you."

Lifting his head slightly, he kissed her forehead as she cuddled into him more and he wrapped his arms tighter around her, "Love you too."

Sophia began to stir some from her makeshift basket and Daryl smirked as she began to pull away to check on her. Letting her go, he sat up on his elbow as he watched her get the baby settled again. He was happy, really happy for the first time in his life and watching them, he knew he would do everything in his power to make sure they all stayed that way.
