"Where the hell is my wife?" Daryl kept his voice low, as he had Sarah in his arms, not wanting to upset her. He was pissed and he knew Merle was involved. He had reluctantly left with the twins the night before, after obtaining a promise that Carol and Sophia would be ready when he arrived in the morning. And here he was in the room, with his twins and his brother with no fucking wife or daughter.
"Maybe she took Sophia for a walk before we left" he mumbled, thinking now, that this could have been one of his worst idea's, more so when his brother, just stared at him
"That's bullshit Merle, ya part of this I know it. " Daryl pointed at his brother, Merle stepping back a little, holding Skye tight to his chest.
"Thought it was a good idea" he mumbled, glancing at the clock, he relaxed. Daryl's wife and daughter would be well on their way, guess it was time to tell the truth
"So where they headed? How long ago did they go? Come on Merle" he so wanted to punch his brother for this. He would never get involved in his relationship with Andrea, so why they hell did he think he could with his?.
"She's on her way to see Beth man, she had to do this. Daryl ya calm the fuck down boy .Ya..." Daryl pulled the door open, heading towards the car, unable to believe they would allow her to do this. Did none of them know, how dangerous this was, what the implications were?. Hell even Beth's daddy and sister refused to speak to her, no one liked a woman involved with hurting a child. They had stepped back, with Maggie being pregnant all she could think of was how dangerous Beth. could be to her unborn child. Herschel was too disgusted that his daughter could sink so low to be involved with not only the Peletiers, but being so disillusioned in her little world, that she had not thought through her actions. And now Carol was off on one of her missions, hell hadn't he said she will suffer. Had he not told her the Dixon's had the best god damn lawyers in the country and Beth was going down?. But oh no his words weren't fucking good enough, she had to go see the bitch with their daughter. Feeling Sarah move against him, to resettle into sleep, he gazed down at her waiting for the lift to open into reception. He was beyond pissed with the kids mother, when he caught up with her, she wouldn't be sitting on that sexy ass of hers for weeks!
"Daryl!" Merle caught up with him at the hospital entrance, he had ran the whole two flights, with little Skye nestled tightly to him.
"Ya fuckin ran with my daughter in ya damn arms?"
"Well, how the hell else would I be able to catch ya bro?. Get ya ass in that car and calm the fuck down. Andrea is waiting on the company plane, I mean it Daryl, ya ain't talking or texting ya wife with ya god damn threats. Just cos she has a mind of her own. Did ya know Beth was planning to plead not guilty?, hell I pray seeing little Sophia, will make the bitch beg the judge to send her ass to jail"
"Once my daughters are settled on the plane, ya leave me the hell alone" the words hissed through his teeth, he would leave Carol alone for now. When she got home there would be hell to pay.
"Mrs Dixon this is highly unusual, we don't let people in and Beth has said she won't see you"
"Won't see me! What right does she think she has to tell me she will not see me?.Now you either get that bitch here or I will tear this damn place apart She has to see the damage she has done to an innocent child. She was part of all this she mastermind the whole thing. Now you get that child and you get her now I am not leaving here until …." A shadow could be seen behind the woman, Carol couldn't miss the unmistakable colour of blond.
"Get out here Beth come and see what you have done" Carol so wanted to scream at her, yet didn't want to scare Sophia who was clutching her hand tight The fear clear on the little girls face, as she tried to pull back from the woman approaching
"Mummmmy please IIIIII...I scared" Carol bent down to her, it was the first time she had voiced her fears, about the accident.
"Darling mummy is here nothing..." She couldn't miss the trembling in her daughter's body. her eyes getting wider as Beth approached. Standing to her feet, Carol rushed at Beth, pushing her against the wall
"YOU WERE THERE WEREN'T YOU?. YOU TOUCHED MY DAUGHTER" Not waiting to hear Beth's words she slapped her hard across the face.
"Mrs Dixon. Please this is not appropriate I know you are upset, if this continues I will have to call security" The woman tried to pull Carol away, it was a small house that Beth was based in, monitored until the court case. She was allowed visitors. but not to go out alone.
"Tell me miss..." Carol glanced at the woman
"Rosita" she replied whilst still trying to move Carol away from Beth, yet unable to do so.
"Rosita do you have children?"
"Yes, I have a three year old and 18 month" her hands now easing a gap between the two women
"Girls?" Carol continued, now moving of her own free will, away from Beth. Happy to see the mark on her face was swelling, damn she had a good right hook. Even Daryl would have been proud of it.
"Yes"
"How would you feel if someone kidnapped your daughters?, when located they had been badly hurt due to revenge" Rosita could feel herself filling up if anything ever happened to her girls, she would hunt the bastards down and rip them apart, knowing her husband, Abraham he would get to them first.
"I...I..."
"It's ok Rosita you don't need to answer. Beth has confirmed something I knew all along, she was there when Sophia was hurt and she did nothing about it. I've heard you are pleading not guilty bitch. You take a long look at our beautiful daughter Daryl's and mine, then you tell me how you can plead not guilty?" moving back she grabbed her daughter cuddling her close.
"Come on sweet pea time to leave, you will never see this woman again"
"Please Carol, I can't go down for this. The Dixon's solicitor is pleading aggravated first degree. I could be tried in federal court as Sophia was taken over state lines" Tears now falling from her eyes falling to the floor, her body shaking
"Beth did you really think you would get away with this. Ed's parents face it all too" She had no pity for this woman in front of her.
"My daddy has abandoned me, so has Maggie"
"Good they have sense. who would want you near them?. You don't need help Beth you need locking up. I'm taking our daughter and going home to my husband and girls" Turning her back on the sobbing girl she reached out for the door.
"I could get 20 years for this. Longer I have been told" Beth mumbled trying to break through Carol's hard surface
"I hope you do" Carol replied her words soft, yet she refused to turn and look at her. Heading out of the place Sophia's little body curled tight against her. Carol was glad that her tears were clearing. She looked down the path grateful to see Bob, holding the door open slipping in she settled Sophia. Checking her seat belt was fastened, she handed her the teddy Daryl. had first brought her, placing a pillow behind her head, and a soft kiss on her cheek.
"We love you baby girl, you get some sleep darling. We have a long drive, Daddy will be there and your sisters when we arrive" covering her with a soft fleece blanket, Carol then belted herself in, her stomach churning at the thought of her husband. She would have a lot of questions to answer, when they finally got back home.
"Sleepy mummy love you" Carol smiled at her, running her fingers through Sophia's hair she settled back in the seat.
"Guess it's home Bob" she nodded at the driver, Sophia was almost asleep
"How did it go?" Bob asked guiding the car into the heavy traffic
"Made me feel better" she smiled at him through the rear-view mirror
"That's all that matters You do know Mr Dixon will be annoyed"
"I'm counting on it Bob" her smile soft
"Carol honey you get some sleep" He liked this woman she never stood for any messing when it came to his boss.
"Will do thanks" settling back into the comfy seat she found another fleece and covered herself lulled to sleep by the moving car.
