After a night of only one hour of sleep Daryl was making his way towards the cell that Michonne was in. it was still early enough that everyone was still in bed. As he approached the cell he could hear Michonne cursing 'what can she be upset about this early?' Daryl thought as he approached the open cell door.

As he stepped into view, he saw Michonne lying on her bed staring up at the ceiling "what are you making so much noise about at this time?" Daryl asked. Michonne wasn't surprised she was one to always know her surroundings.

"Just remembered something" she replied without any emotion which made it hard for Daryl to know if it was something major.

"Was it something life-threatening?" he asked curiously. He was not about to risk anything now that he was back.

"No, it's just that I remembered that when those shelves fell on me I dropped my katana and it's still at the store" she said and Daryl let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding "you only just remembered that now?" he asked in a slightly teasing voice.

Michonne looked at him at an uninterested way "been a bit busy" she said as she hinted towards her leg.

Daryl nodded slightly showing that he understood, he wouldn't be caught dead leaving his crossbow anywhere except the prison "tell you what if I go on a run anywhere near the store I will get your sword for you" he said smiling at the girl on the bed.

Michonne knew that if anyone would understand it would be Daryl. She felt like she could trust this man with anything, must be because they have nearly the same personality "thanks" she then noticed the bandage on his hand "what happened to you?" she asked nodding her head so he saw what she was talking about.

He looked down at his hand and smiled "just something that happened when I got the car yesterday, it was nothing serious" he commented with a shrug.

Michonne raised an eyebrow "nothing serious but you bandaged it?" she asked curiously. She knew that Daryl Dixon did not bandage himself up, actually since she has known him he never even seem to notice his injuries.

"It wasn't me that done it, I was taking care of it when Beth walked past and she made me get it done properly" he just blurted it out and didn't realise how it sounded till he saw Michonne nearly laugh.

"Lil Beth Greene made you Daryl Dixon get something looked at properly" she said only just able to hold in a laugh.

Many things went through Daryl's mind, many excuses and many insults as a way to hit back but he decided to just let her have her fun because of her leg. Michonne recovered and was back to her old self before she spoke again "It's good she done that though, you do need to take better care of yourself" she said smiling at him "also it's nice to have someone show how much they care for you. don't you think?".

Daryl looked a little uncomfortable at that last remark, he knew that people cared about him but that didn't mean he was comfortable about talking about it, even with Michonne. But he wasn't stupid or insensitive and in his way he cared about everyone here. He just didn't show it the way other people did.

"Yeah well she didn't do a bad job" he said as he looked over the bandages again.

"And the fact that you have a soft spot for her?" Michonne said with a small grin.

Michonne had to admit, the face that Daryl made after hearing that was priceless. He had two options at this point, deny the truth and disappear in a strop or tell her that she is right and have someone to talk to about how he feels.

"I don't have a soft spot for Beth" he said in a normal tone and walked away from the cell. Now Daryl was experiencing some new feeling but he was not going to discuss them with anyone, he still needed his reputation. Michonne, however, knew what was going on and smiled knowingly as Daryl walked away.

Beth slowly opened her eyes to her empty cell room she sat up and stretched away the tiredness in her muscles. Today was her day with Judith and for that she was glad. After two eventful days, she was looking forward to having a nice day with the baby.

She got up, changed her clothes and headed for the common room where she was sure that Carol would be with Judith. She saw Maggie walking in from the common room "good morning" Beth said happily.

Maggie was slightly taken aback by her sisters attitude, this is the first time in months that she had seen Beth in such a good mood and she wondered what had changed but she was too tired to really think at the moment "morning for you, goodnight for me" Maggie said not slowing her pace as got closer to Beth.

"Oh yeah you have been on watch for two nights now" Beth said remembering her sister telling her that the other day "you want me to bring you anything?" Beth offered as her sister walked past her.

"No thanks, just make sure no one disturbs me while I sleep otherwise it won't be pretty" Maggie answered as she disappeared into her cell.

Beth laughed at her sisters little threat and walked into the common room to see that Carol was sat with Judith sitting up on her lap. She walked over and sat next to the two, because of the movement. Judith turned her head and the second she saw Beth a toothless smile formed and she tried to move closer to Beth.

Carol smiled and lifted Judith and gave her to Beth who was already making baby faces which was making Judith smile more "every time she does that I feel rejected" Carol joked as she smiled at the two girls.

"Can't help it if I'm her favorite" Beth replied in a baby voice to entertain Judith. Carol smiled even more, she loved how Beth was with Judith "she has already been fed this morning" Carol informed Beth as she tucked into her own food that was at the table.

"Thank you" Beth said as she now sat Judith on her lap "how was she last night?" Beth asked.

"Wasn't too bad but your right, her teeth are starting to come through" Carol said sadly as she knew this would mean in sleepless nights.

Beth saw this face and knew she would have to go through sleepless nights too but also felt bad because they failed to get the stuff from the baby store "sorry we couldn't bring back the baby stuff" Beth apologized.

Carol looked at the girl "you don't need to be sorry about that, were all just glad you came back" she said with a smile "and I'm sure Judith would prefer you to anything we get her" Carol said adding that on because she knew Beth couldn't be sad when Judith was mentioned.

Beth smiled as she looks at Judith as Judith was trying to grab a tray on the table "yeah your right" Beth said.

The door connecting the common room to the outside opened and Daryl walked in "morning" he said as he entered and went to get some food.

Both girls replied with a morning and carried on their conversation. When Daryl came back into the room he had a tray of food and put it on the table the girls were sat at which surprised them both "wow is Daryl going to grace us with his presence" Carol joked.

Daryl didn't say anything as he came around to them and knelt down so he was eye level with Judith. Judith at first looked as though she didn't recognise him "hey lil ass-kicker" he said softly and as soon as the words left his mouth Judith's face lit up and she threw her arms towards for Daryl to pick her up.

Daryl smiled at the reaction and picked her up from Beth's lap "that's my girl" he said as he held the baby "im going to take her for a while" he said holding her in his arms.

Even though they knew Daryl was close with Judith they still weren't used to seeing him act like that with the baby "yeah sure" Beth said "just bring her to me when your done" she said and without saying a word he started walking away.

Carol then noticed the tray of food on the table "hey Daryl what about your food?" she called out to him as he had just turned a corner.

"I got it for Beth, she didn't eat much yesterday" he called back and then they heard his footsteps disappear.

Beth smiled and didn't hesitate to start eating the food "wow Daryl got you breakfast" she said with a teasing voice.

Beth blushed slightly and tried to shrug it off but knew it was hopeless "probably because I bandaged his hand for him that's all" she said.

"First you ride on his bike, then you bandage him up and then he gets you breakfast" Carol said teasing Beth more "are you sure there's something your not telling me" she said now nudging Beth's side.

Beth didn't say anything as she carried on eating her breakfast but she was smiling like an idiot, all what Carol was saying was helping her think she could maybe have a chance with Daryl someday but she knew that if anything was to happen it wouldn't be for a long long time.

She was pulled from her thoughts when Carol said "how does it feel to know that Daryl is Judith's favourite and not you" she teased Beth for what felt like the 15th time that morning.

Beth merely stuck her tongue out with a smile as an answer and then carried on eating.
