A/N Hey kids, sorry we haven't had a beer together in a couple of weeks, that darn work has gotten in the way of my good times. So let's get to it now, k?

Hey all y'all, ya know what night this is, right? Yep, ya got it, it's Wednesday, y'all know what that means doncha?

Don't bother playin' dumb, ya know where we're goin' so let's go! Let's all head down ta that rickety ol' godforsaken bar, ya know the one that smells like one a them diaper genies threw up? Yeah, that one. Hell ain't like we give a fuck 'bout buildin' codes n foul smells, this here is all 'bout checkin' in with them Dixon boys n seein' what's up with them, n what's up in the community, cuz I don't know 'bout all y'all, but me? That's right, I got a lotta community spirit n pride n all that kinda shit, that, n I could sure go for a frosty one right about now.

So Merle, he walks in that foul-smellin' little joint, it's a full house this evenin', course even though the place was full, no one was sittin' on Merle's stool. These here boys? They might have a little too much booze on their brains, but they ain't complete fuckin' idiots ya know, sheesh. So the big man sits down n ya know barkeep is right there puttin' a frosty one in front a him.

So Merle sees baby brother's lookin' like he's puzzlin' about sumthin', an a course Merle he's wonderin' just what's goin' on, so Merle bein' all about Baby Brother's misery n all he says ta him, "Hey little brother, how's it goin', Little Ballbuster twisting yer balls 'bout sumthin?" Every ear in the joint just perked right up.

Next thing happened was that ever' one nearly lost their cool n laughed out loud, cuz apparently Daryl had enough a Merle's shit, ya know, the usual Wednesday breaking point had already been reached. So Young Dixon said ta big brother, "Merle ya fuckin' dumbass, I told ya not ta call her that 'bout a million times. I'll tell ya what ya fool, ya ever fuckin' slip up n call her that ta her face, she's gonna tear yer ass up fast brother n I ain't stickin' up for ya one bit. And besides, I don't like ya callin' my Sweet Baby that neither, how'd ya feel if I was ta go 'round always callin' yer woman Big Ballbuster, what would ya think a that?"

That's when Merle started belly laughin' n the damn beer come pourin' right outta his nose, n I thought for a minute he was gonna fall off his bar stool, n he said, "Little Brother I'd pay real good money ta see ya call my Cindy that ta her face, why she'd have yer ass kicked right up between yer ears faster n shit through a goose." And then both them Dixon boys was a cacklin' ta beat the band, cuz, like I'm forever tellin' ya, they're both more'n capable a behavin' like complete dumbasses.

But then Merle got all serious-like n he said, "Damn I love that big woman a mine, every night when I get home I swear ta God Almighty she's even bigger than she was when I left in the mornin', don't bother me one little bit neither, like they say, just more cushion for the pushin." And he was lookin' all like he was absorbed by his deep love for Cindy. Baby brother he just nodded. Ya got ta respect a man's love for his woman, ya know that kids, I know ya do.

So Merle changed his manner a questionin' n he said, "So now little brother, I know sumthin's eatin' at ya, ya gonna tell yer big brother what that is, ya know, so I can help ya through it n all?" Oh ya know they was all listenin', n ever' one took a swallow from their brown bottle, includin' me.

"I don't know what my Sweet Baby's thinkin', she's decided she wants D.J. goin' ta some damn preschool program, n I asked her, the fuck Beth? Ya send the Little Man there he's just gonna be learnin' all manner a stuff ya don't even want him ta know yet, like them damn bad words n shit like that." And y'all know Merle understood just what he was gettin' at.

"Yeah, I get ya on that brother, Little Ol' D.J. don't need ta be corrupted by them little assholes, why he's smart as a whip, he don't need them dumbass kids tryin' ta bring him down ta their level." And ever' one in the whole fuckin' place couldn't agree more. They all nodded n took a big swig a their frosty beverage.

Then Daryl he seemed ta perk up, "Oh yeah, but I got some news for ya that's so fuckin' ripe n' juicy yer gonna wanna pay for my beers tonight outta sheer gratitude for me sharin' such a tidbit with ya." An damn, I ain't kiddin' ya, Daryl he was a chucklin', I swear I ain't lyin', why he even snorted.

Now Merle he was all sittin' up straight n everythin' n barkeep put two more frosty ones in front a the brothers, and all them boys in the stinky little bar they was anticipatin' what kind a scandalous news might be comin', n like the synchronized drinkin' team that they are, they all took a big swallow a their refreshments.

Then Daryl drops that little bomb a information, "Axel tol' me today he's gone n got Doc Carol knocked up." Well ya best be believin' that Merle nearly dropped his beer upon hearin' that news.

So didn't Merle ask Young Dixon, "Holy fuck brother, don't a doc like her know what causes that shit? Don't she know how ta keep that from happenin'?"

And didn't Young Dixon just go right on ahead n ask Merle right back, "Well holy fuck ta you brother, didn't ya know what caused that shit, n didn't ya know how ta keep it from happenin, n ain't yer own woman in the family way?" Ouch Daryl, way ta burn yer brother, but damn if they both didn't start ta cacklin', cuz the damn facts is the facts n Merle was guilty as charged.

Merle he said, "Yer right Baby Brother, I'm buyin' the beers cuz that right there, now that was news. So when are they gonna marry up?"

"Well that's the hell of it, Axel said he asked her right away, but she said she had ta think 'bout it a few days. I don't get it, shit, ya get knocked up, ya marry up, ain't that the rules?" Daryl was shakin' his head in wonder.

Now Merle, always one ta put the screws ta baby brother, says, "Well fuck yeah, if yer Daryl Dixon n Little Ballbuster's daddy has a shotgun pointed at ya, but all folks ain't as honorable as the Dixons."

Daryl just looked right at that big ol brother a his n said, "Fuck you Merle."

xxxx

He walked in that front door n there was little ol D.J. playin' with them trucks a his n watchin' the "Wow Wow Wubbzy" show. Daryl was thinkin' two possibilities, ya either had ta be on 'shrooms or still be in diapers ta figure that shit out.

But he give the boy a little rub on the head n said, "Hey Little Man, how ya doin'? Daddy's home, ain't that excitin'?" D.J. he just giggled n clapped his hands n that was enough for Daddy.

He walked in that kitchen n there was his Sweet Baby standin' there at the stove fixin' him sumthin' delicious, n being as how he was all overcome with love n whatnot, he walked right up behind that woman n he slid that hand right up the inside a that thigh, ya know like he liked, well she liked it too, n he moved that hand on over n he give a little rub there ta that sweet spot he couldn't get enough of, n damn, she kinda whimpered right then, n she whispered, "Oh Daryl…"

Damn, his pants got tight.

She turned from the stove n put her arms right around his neck n said, "I want you so much right now, I don't know how I'm going to make it until D.J.'s bed time."

Damn, what had come over his Sweet Baby? Well he didn't know but bein' the good husband that he is n all, he laid a big ol kiss on those pretty lips, n he slid that hand down the back a her pants, n he was rubbin' the hardest part a himself again the sweetness that was her, n right then didn't little ol' D.J. walk right in that kitchen n say, "Hungee Mama."

Now Daryl he just leaned on down n he tickled Little Man's neck n he said, "Son ya got ta learn ta think 'bout others sides yerself, it ain't good manners ta be so selfish." Little Ol D.J. he just giggled n clapped his hands.

He n D.J. was powerin' down that delicious chicken n noodles dinner Sweet Baby had cooked them up, while she was mostly movin' hers around the plate n eatin' a green salad. D.J. he pointed at that salad n he said, "Leafs." Now Daryl he couldn't help hisself, he come real close ta cacklin', "See how smart yer boy is Beth? He don't need no preschool, he agrees with Daddy, that there ain't food, that's a bowl a leafs." He tried ta high five Little Man, but Little Man just threw a noodle right in Daddy's face. Daryl set him straight, "Now that ain't nice son, don't be throwin' food at Daddy." Course D.J. he just giggled n clapped those hands, cuz I'm sure I told ya this several times already, D.J.'s the happiest baby in the whole fuckin' universe.

He n D.J. was back ta playin' with the trucks on the floor n watchin' sumthin' called Paw Patrol on the TV, while Sweet Baby was cleanin' the kitchen up. She come in the livin' room then n said, "Bath time boys." Daryl he looked around for some other boy.

"No Daryl, that means you, you get in there n shower up while I give D.J. a bath, I've got big plans for you." Well shit that sounded promisin', so he jumped right up n said, "Yes m'am." Even though, as all y'all know, he can hardly abide all this showerin' she seems hell bent on makin' him do, seriously, couldn't she just learn ta appreciate his manly smell?

He come outta their bath with his flannel pants on, on accounta D.J. n all ya can't just be runnin' round nekked kids. He went into D.J.s room for story time, cuz all y'all know how much Daryl loves him some damn story time, Beth was readin' the one about the little engine that could, that there is a good one, ya got ta think positive ya know.

Little Man fell right ta sleep n they headed right ta that bedroom ta finish what they'd almost started earlier. He pulled them flannel pants off so fast they nearly caught fire, then he got busy undressin' his Sweet Baby, she was hot enough she was helpin' him with the task.

He had that mouth a his right on her little tittie in no time, n he was a suckin' n nibblin' at that like it was one a them gourmet meals ya hear about. Then he was movin' one hand ta her tittie, one ta that sweet spot, n then damn, she pushed at his shoulder ta move him on ta his back. Now he hadn't been thinkin' this was what she was up to, but he wasn't gonna argue, he liked his Sweet Baby ta be happy.

She moved her little hand down there right on the bad boy, gettin' him all manner of excited, n her sweet mouth was headin' that way too, when she paused for just a minute, looked up at him and asked, "Daryl, you know what would be a really good idea?"

And, he'd known that question was comin' the minute she'd started headin' south, but he acted like he hadn't been in this particular situation several times in the past, n he asked, "What's that Sweet Baby, what would be a real good idea?"

"If we got a mini van Daryl, doesn't that sound like a good idea?"

Well, well, he slid his hands down under her arms n pulled her up til her face was even with his n he said, "Sweet Baby, I know yer messin' with me now, I ain't a complete fuckin' idiot, I know ya don't want no mini van, yer just tryin' ta throw me off the scent, ya want me ta suggest we get a Grand Cherokee instead, I know that's the rig ya been wantin'. Now you have gone n forced me ta teach ya a lesson 'bout messin' with me, so watch out Sweet Baby here comes the bad boy." And he n the bad boy taught her every manner of important lesson, n she learned 'em real good, 'course she's probably gonna have ta get taught all them lessons again tomorrow, but that ain't my concern.

So their they lay, cuddled up n all spent n whatnot, when Daryl said, "Shit Sweet Baby, I forgot ta tell ya the big news a the day."

"What's that Daryl?" He liked that she was still runnin' that pretty little hand all around on his body like she wanted more, damn he loved his woman.

"Axel went n got Doc Carol in the family way."

She nearly flew up offa the bed, "What?! Are you kidding me Daryl? Oh my gosh, that is so exciting, I'm so happy for them, so when's the wedding?" Hell, he hadn't really expected she'd be so fuckin' happy about it.

"Well that right there is the hell of it Beth, Axel said he asked her right away n she didn't say yes, well she didn't say no either, what she said was she had ta think about it. Damn, what's there ta think about?"

Now his Sweet Baby smiled at him, "Well I just can't imagine Daryl, why maybe I should ask Daddy to go see her and straighten her out about the benefits of getting married when you're pregnant. He certainly did help you with that, now didn't he?"

"Dammit it Beth, ya sound like fuckin' Merle, n ya know I love ya, n ya know I'd marry ya again in a New York minute, I was just tryin' ta work up the courage ta ask is all." An then they both started laughin' n then the touchin' started up again, n then bad boy set about provin' ta Sweet Baby just how much her husband loves her.

A/N I swear I ain't lyin', that's how it all happened, ya can't make this stuff up. What do you think, are we going to a wedding next chapter? Let me know, and thank you so much for reading this little tale, please review. xo
