The next morning I was woken by Colt again. The sun wasn't even up yet. I groaned before sitting up and walking over to the box.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" I asked as I picked him up, "Oh, you smell, that's why."

I grabbed a diaper and wipes from the box next to the small desk and changed Colt. I put him back in his box to get more sleep, and I decided to make breakfast. The sun was finally rising and Carol walked into the kitchen,

"Hey, I was just about to make some food." She said.

"Colt woke me up. I needed a distraction." I told her.

"I know how much you love Daryl. And I know it hurts that he left. Just know I'm here if you need a cry, okay?" Carol said.

I nodded, "Thanks, Carol."

She nodded and helped me make breakfast. After we were done everyone started waking up and coming to eat. Colt started crying again. I fed him and got Jamie before we all met around the tables. Glenn and Carl made a map of the prison on the floor with chalk.

"Now, you said you found Tyreese's group here?" Glenn asked, pointing to a spot on the map.

"Yeah."

"We secured this." Glenn said.

"He thought he came through here." Carl replied.

"Means there's another breach. Okay. The whole front of the prison is unsecure. If walkers just strolled in, then it's gonna be cake for a group of men." Glenn said.

"Why are we even so sure he's going to attack?" Beth asked. "Maybe you scared him off."

"He had fish tanks full of heads. Walkers and humans. Trophies." Michonne replied, "He's coming."

"We should hit him now."

"What?" Beth asked.

"He won't be expecting it." Glenn said. "We'll sneak back in and put a bullet in his head."

"We're not assassins." Carol responded.

Glenn walked over to Michonne, "You know where his apartment is. You and I could end this tonight. I'll do it myself."

Michonne nodded and Glenn backed up, "Okay."

"He didn't know you were coming last time and looked what happened. You were almost killed. Daryl was captured. And you and Maggie were almost executed." Hershel said.

"You can't stop me." Glenn replied.

"Rick would never allow this." Hershel responded.

"You really think he's in any position to make that choice?" Glenn asked,

"Think this through clearly. T-Dog lost his life here. Lori, too. The men that were here. It isn't worth anymore killing. What are we waiting for? If he's really on his way, we should be out of here by now." Hershel said.

"And go where?"

"We lived on the road all winter." Hershel answered.

"Back when you had two legs and we didn't have two babies crying for walkers every four hours." Glenn replied.

"We can't stay here." Hershel said.

"We can't run." Glenn replied.

Maggie went back into the cell block and Glenn turned to look at all of us, "All right. We'll stay put. We're gonna defend this place. We're making a stand. Carl, you and I will go down into the tombs. We need to figure out where the breach is."

"You got it."

"You'll need some help." Michonne said.

"No, in case anything happens, I need you out here." Glenn said before looking at us, "Who's on watch?" None of us answered and he started walking away,"Damn it."

Carl and Glenn went into the tombs and came back a while later, sweaty and covered in blood, "The tombs outside the boiler room are overrun again."

"That whole section had been cleared." Beth said as she locked the door.

"It's a steady stream of walkers." Carl said.

"We're wasting time." Hershel commented. "The Governor is supposedly on the way and we're stuck in here with walkers."

"Trapped between a rock and a hard place."

"For the last time, running is not an option." Glenn said.

"Glenn, if the tombs have filled up again, it may just be a matter of time before they push in here." Carol replied.

"Or until some fence gives away." Beth added.

"What if one of them herds is passing through? Or settled?" Axel questioned.

"Can't handle that with just the few of us." Carol replied.

"Okay. All right, we need to scout the far side of the prison. Find out what's going on." Glenn said.

"You're going out there?" Hershel asked.

"Take a car and make it quick." Glenn replied.

"I'll drive." Axel offered.

"No, you stay here. Help with the fortifications. I'll take Maggie." Glenn responded.

"You sure she's up to that?" Hershel questioned.

Glenn didn't answer and went into the cell block to talk to her. We all left to do our own thing. I decided to go out and get some fresh air with Jamie and Colt.

"Gonna need to make a run soon." I told Carl and Beth as they walked up to me, "Colt needs clothes, and both him and Judith are gonna need more formula. And more diapers. Lots and lots of diapers."

"Glenn and Maggie will probably go at the end of the week." Carl replied.

I looked down at Colt, who yawned, "Someone needs a nap."

Jamie and I started walking back towards the block when I heard a scream. I turned around and saw Axel hit the ground.

"Vi! Get your kids inside!" Carl yelled at me.

Colt started crying and Jamie gripped onto my shirt. I hid behind a wall and had Jamie take Colt, "Stay here. Don't drop him."

I took out my gun and aimed for the guard tower that one of the Woodbury people were on. We just can't take a break, can we? I shot him down and it was quiet, the only sound was Colt crying. I saw Maggie run out with a few guns and give them to Beth and Carol. I heard a truck coming and I saw it crash through the fence.

"Oh, shit." What the hell were they doing?

Then, the back of the truck opened and walkers filed out.

"Violet! Get the hell in the cell block!" Maggie yelled.

"Can't! If we go, we're out in the open! They could shoot us down!" I yelled back.

"Mommy, I'm scared." Jamie whimpered, holding onto his baby brother.

"Everything's gonna be alright, baby." I told him.

Once I saw the cars leaving, I picked Jamie up and ran back inside the cell block, "Put Colt in his box and stay in our cell! I'll be back."

I ran outside and Maggie and Carl opened the gates for Glenn to come through with Michonne and Hershel.

"Oh god, Axel." I said, looking at his body.

I then looked out into the field, they were overrun with walkers again.

"Come on, let's go take care of your baby." Carol said to me and she put her arms around my shoulders and we walked inside.

You could hear Colt quite clearly, crying his eyes out.

"Mommy!" I picked up Jamie and we went over to the box we made for Colt.

Carol picked him up and started bouncing him, trying to get him to calm down.

"Everything's okay, sweetheart. You can stop crying now." I said, rubbing his stomach.

A few minutes later he stopped crying, "He probably needs to be changed."

"I got him. You get some rest. You look exhausted." Carol said.

"You sure?" I asked.

She nodded, "This baby's been keeping you up. You and Jamie rest."

"Thank you. I'm sorry about Axel." I said.

Carol nodded at me before leaving the cell with Colt and I laid down on my bed with Jamie.

***Daryl's POV***

Merle and I walked into the cell block with Rick. I was ignoring all of Merle's comments on the prison. They welcomed me back and I looked at the baby in Carol's arms.

"How's little ass-kicker?" I asked her and her eyes widened.

I looked around, everyone was looking at me and the baby. Then Beth walked in holding Judith. I automatically looked at the baby in Carol's arms.

"Who's?" I asked.

"Daddy!"

Jamie ran over to me and I picked him up, "Hey, kid."

"Oh, baby brother. You have been busy while I was gone." Merle said.

Jamie looked from Merle and back to me, a giant smile on his face, "Daddy, I have a baby brother!"

Again, I looked back at the baby, "Please tell me she's-"

"Violet's fine, Daryl. She's sleeping. Colt's been waking her up early every morning." Carol answered.

"Colt?" I questioned as I let Jamie down.

"My brother!" He said.

"You've been bumping uglies with the hot chick with the big tits?" Merle laughed, "You're better than I thought Darylina."

"Shut up, Merle!" I yelled.

"Alright, that's it." Rick grabbed Merle's arm and shoved him into the holding cell.

"Wha' are you doin', Officer Friendly. Don't touch me!"

Colt started crying and I turned my focus onto my kid. My kid, "Can I hold 'im?"

"Of course. He is your child after all." Carol smiled at me and handed me the baby.

"Shh." I whispered as I bounced him up and done.

He stopped crying and I smiled down at him before looking at the others who were smiling at me.

"Darylina's gone soft." I heard Merle say.

I ignored him and gave Colt back to Carol, "I'm gonna go see Vi."

***Violet's POV***

I was woken from Jamie crawling over me and I heard him yell 'daddy' a few moments later. Daryl was back. I laid there for a few moments until I heard footsteps enter my cell. I knew who it was and I closed my eyes.

"He's so tiny." I heard him whisper emotionally. So emotionally, I could barely tell it was him saying it.

"I guess I should expect that. You didn't have a belly. I would've liked that, seeing your stomach grow with our child. Feeling him kick, Jamie touching your stomach, I wish that would've happened. We would've been prepared, I wouldn't have left you."

He was silent for a few minutes before sighing,

"I wasn't there, and I left you alone. You and Jamie. And Colt. And I'm sorry for that, I really am. And I don't expect you to forgive, but I will be here for now on. I promise you that."

He stood up and I heard him walk away before I opened my eyes. I'm not mad at him, I'm hurt. He didn't think of us at all when he left. If he hadn't come back, I don't know what I would've told Jamie. Or Colt once he got old enough to ask where Daryl went. He left me, Jamie, Colt, Rick, Carol, Glenn, Hershel, Maggie, Carl, and Beth. All for his poor excuse of a brother.

So I posted soon, and, uh, the Guest that reviewed saying that you might kill a teddy bear, please don't. Sorry that I haven't been updating as much. Season 4 of the Walking Dead will be on Netflix and I'll be able to make more chapters an update sooner. Review and you might save innocent teddy bears around the world.
