Carol was beyond annoyed with Daryl, he was cranky and driving the nursing staff crazy. She had spent three whole days with Sophia at the hospital and he wasn't doing much to help himself. Snapping at everyone wanting to go home. Carol wondered if he was doing it so they would realease him quickly, she knew he had another few days to go before they did. His fever had taken a long time to come down. He was tired.
He didn't seem to understand the whole body blood transfusion would take a long time to recover. He told her he could come home because he managed to hold his own dick to take a piss.
'I hope your not talking to me with that mouth,' she warned him.
'You said, when I could I could go home,' he told her.
'You messed the floor, I had to clean it up,' she told him. She was doing a lot of the work with him so the nurses didn't have to deal with his rage. He wanted out, but he was tired. She was sure he knew he couldn't go home yet. 'Look if you carry on I'm going back to your place, I'm tired, I feel sick and your driving me crazy.'
She'd told him she wanted to go visit Ed. She wanted to get to the bottom of it. Why did he try save them. He was growling about it. He didn't want her going there. She had to, she felt compelled to do it. She needed to know. She'd been thinking, he used to be a drunk, now he'd been in jail his head was clear. He'd protected Sophia twice. Yet drunk he had tried to harm her. She didn't understand why he went so far one way only to swing back to protect Sophia from people who would hurt her.
He didn't want her going alone, he wanted to go with her. She told him no. She had to do it alone. Nothing would happen to her because he was in jail. She was determined to go see him. See what he knew. He probably wouldn't talk due to the case coming before the court soon. She told him she would compromise and take Merle with her to visit. Leave Sophia with Lori.
'Why you feeling sick, you didn't get hurt did you?' Daryl asked her. He hadn't really asked her about herself he realized he was being a selfish bastard.
'No, I just feel like... I want to vomit, nerves I guess,' Carol told him. 'I haven't slept much, I'm jumpy... I was scared... so scared...' she started crying, he tried to move a little on the bed making room for her. He nodded to the space beside him on his good side, she climbed up and snuggled into his good side. She pulled the sheet up over them Sophia was finally sleeping. She'd been fussy with her milk all morning, not wanting to drink. She finally had some then went to sleep.
'I'm sorry, I'm grumpy... I've got this ... I don't know, headache and want to get out do stuff, smash stuff,' Daryl told her, he pulled her closer holding her, kissing her head. 'Arrest people or something,'
'Your being a baby,' Carol sniffed, 'You need to stop, I'm tired,'
'I'ma gonna behave,' he told her, 'Have a sleep,'
'I can't sleep here, the nurses will growl,' Carol told him.
'If your asleep, I"m sleeping, Sophia's sleep, you think they gonna wake us?' he asked her.
'I dunno,' Carol looked around, there were 4 other men on the ward with Daryl there was a nurses desk with 3 nurses, keeping an eye on them. Daryl was still in the high dependency unit. He was by far the worst of all the men there. He was still hooked up to a heart monitor because his blood pressure was going up and down which was giving him his nagging headache. He wasn't eating well, and they had taken his drip out today. They had most of the curtains pulled around but the front one to the nurses desk. They looked up at them every now and again to look at his monitors. and chose to ignore the fact she was off the chair and beside him.
Carol felt sick to her stomach she couldn't shake it, constantly feeling like she wanted to vomit. Tired, she was so tired, trying to be strong for him yet just wanting to cry her eyes on on his strong shoulders. Then he'd been so cranky. She tilted her head up for a kiss which deepened quickly, she pulled her mouth away.
'Your sposed to be resting,' she warned him.
'Yeah, I am, ' he moved his good and under the blanket and squeezed her arse, ' give me another one and I'll sleep I promise,'
She knew she shouldn't trust him, he's on death's door one minute and groping her under the blanket the next. She kissed him and his hand moved up to her boob and cupped it.
'Daryl, for goodness sakes,' She pulled her face away, his eyes were shut his hand stayed cupping her breast.
'Shush I'm sleeping stop waking me,' he told her. She lifted her head to check Sophia she was fine. His hand was under the sheet so she left it there and shut her eyes too.
