The next morning, Glenn and Daryl were playing around in the pond behind the house, their clothes sitting on the ground by the edge while they swam in their trunks.
"Damn, you're a better swimmer than I thought." Daryl commented in a huff.
They just got done racing each other on 2 laps. Glenn won by Daryl's surprise.
Glenn grinned in pride. "Well, for your information, I took swim classes in school and was one of the best at my school."
Daryl smirked. "Well, excuse me elite medalist." He said sarcastically in a playful manner, making Glenn smile and splash him.
Daryl chuckled and splashed back, starting another splash war. Daryl ended it by suddenly wrapping Glenn up in his arms and joined their lips in a kiss. When they pulled out of the kiss, Glenn quickly kissed his lips one more time.
"I'm getting' out." Glenn decided and began to swim to the edge towards the grass where their clothes laid.
"Kay, I'm gonna take one more dive and then I'll join you." Daryl decided, Glenn agreeing.
Glenn pulled himself out the water and picked up his towel to dry off with before picking up his blue shirt and slipped it on. Daryl was under water at the moment when Glenn began folding his used towel. He didn't get to finish folding it, however, due to the sharp pain in the back of his neck and the sudden fatigue he felt afterwards. He quickly lost the will to stand and collapsed into what felt like someone's arms. He completely blacked out after that.
Daryl came up to the surface a minute and a half later, wiping the water from his eyes.
"I'm gonna have to take you fishin' one of these days. Find a nice body of water full of fish. It's so relaxing and pays off."
When he noticed he was met with silence, Daryl looked over to where he saw Glenn last before he dove and noticed he wasn't there. He looked all around him in search of his mate, but didn't see him anywhere. Daryl frowned in confusion.
"Glenn?" He called.
He then swam to the edge and pulled himself out and walked over to his towel to dry himself off. When he glanced down again a ways from him, he saw his boyfriend's pants on the ground still. That was odd. He wouldn't leave his pants there. He took a deep breath in.
He could smell Glenn, his scent a bit faint in the area due to him not being here anymore. He noticed his scent led out in the forest. He wouldn't wander off, not without telling him. He had a bad feeling about this.
Glenn woke up slowly to the sound of someone talking softly 30 minutes later.
"-orry Penny, your mother will be ready soon." He heard not too far from him.
Glenn slowly opened his eyes and saw a wooden ceiling above him. So he was inside somewhere.
'Wait….wasn't I just outside with Daryl?' He thought.
He groaned before sitting up from where he was laying. He was on a comfortable bed in a bedroom.
"Ah, so you're finally awake."
That same voice from a moment ago said. Glenn looked around and spotted a man in the doorway. Glenn was confused and nervous.
"How…..how did I get here?" Glenn asked the stranger.
The man smiled a bit unsettlingly. "I brought you here, love."
Glenn frowned. "…So wait…the last thing I remember was being with Daryl at the pond. Me suddenly being here means you knocked me out and kidnapped me and brought me here."
"No one's perfect," The man said in a dismissive manner. "I'm the Governor, but you, my dear, can call me Phillip. Now darling, ready to meet our lovely daughter?"
Glenn raised a brow. "Meet….wha?"
"My daughter Penny has been waiting to meet her new mother. She's a couple rooms down. Let's go and see her." Phillip stated holding his hand out for Glenn to take.
Glenn scooted backwards a bit on the bed to distance himself from Phillip. "Okay, 1.) I'm not yours, so you can stop calling me nicknames. 2.) I don't have a daughter. And 3.) I'm not going to do anything for the one who kidnapped me." He said boldly.
Phillip put his hand back down at his side and sighed. "I wasn't wanting to resort to this, but it seems you leave me no choice."
He said before digging in the inside of his jacket, taking out a wooden tube and firmly blew into it, launching something quickly at Glenn. Glenn looked down and saw a dart sticking in his chest before his sight got blurry and he passed out on the bed.
"You will be my Penny's mother…and to me….my husband. My sweet, sweet, cute little husband…..even if you don't see it yet." Phillip said possessively.
After Daryl grabbed Glenn's jeans and went inside to ask around about Glenn, everyone telling him they haven't seen him…he felt it. He felt Glenn's distress, majorly so. That made him growl. Luckily he was outside when he did that. He walked inside the house a moment to tell the first person he saw in there that he was going to go hunting. He didn't want anyone following him on this. Once he did that, he took off into the woods where Glenn's scent trailed out. Once he was well into the woods, he changed into his wolf form and followed the scent of his boyfriend to find his current location. Not long after he entered the woods though, he felt Glenn's distress disappear. That could mean two things; either he wasn't in danger anymore or he fell asleep. Any emotion sent through their bond ceased if they were asleep since the body and the mind shuts off.
Glenn's scent led him quite a few miles out from the Greene farm. This confirmed that his mate was taken. That made Daryl so enraged. When he finds the one who did this, he'll tear them to shreds. His scent led to a cabin. So that's where his baby was being kept. He snuck around it in wolf form and tried to see what was going on before he would bust in.
When Glenn woke up again, he was in a different room in a chair this time. When he tried moving his arms, he noticed they were bound behind the chair. Glenn rolled his eyes and sighed in frustration. He had a feeling whatever the crazy guy did to him the first time, he did it again. He was officially getting sick of passing out and waking up in different places. When he looked to the right he froze. There the crazy guy was, Phillip he said his name was, sitting in a big, comfy chair petting a little girl's head that sat at his feet eating a piece of meat.
Phillip smiled at him when he noticed he awoke. "Penny, meet your new mother."
The little girl was softly growling as she gradually ate the meat she held in her hands, not saying a word or even looking at Glenn. Glenn's eyes widened and he wished he could scoot back, but his feet were tied to each front leg of the chair he was sitting on. He was terrified. Him being tied up to a chair completely helpless in front of a walker did it for him, He had no more courage left.
"Are you crazy!" Glenn whisper yelled. "That's a walker!"
Suddenly brown wolf ears with black at the tips appeared at the top of Glenn's head. Phillip's resolve was calm and nonchalant towards the walker comment, however.
"She is nothing but our daughter. She poses no threat," Then he noticed the ears after a minute and his eyes widened in shock and wonder. "Now that is fascinating." Phillip said. "So you're not human….oh~, can't wait till people hear there's another creature around, must be big bucks for that."
Glenn grew even more scared. Ears?! Why wolf ears?! Why now?! He was still in human form! Daryl didn't mention this when he spoke of wolf features coming out.
"Yer ass ain't tellin' no one." A country accented voice growled.
When the Governor looked to his right, the man to the voice jumped on him, knocking him and the chair back. The chair hid the actions made from view, but telling by the screams and the tearing of flesh, Glenn knew he was killing him. Glenn blinked and grinned at the sight of his love being there and immediately felt safe again.
But with the sound and the smell of food, the kid walker was called to attention to what was happening behind her and started getting up to go towards the fresh body. Daryl was ignored by the walker since she went straight to the food. Daryl let it happen, the bastard deserved it after kidnapping and almost killing his boyfriend. Daryl then walked over to his boyfriend and begin untying him quickly.
"I'm so glad to see you." Glenn said in relief.
"Same. What's with the ears?" Daryl asked untying his legs, his hands now free.
Glenn shook his head. "I don't know, they just appeared."
Once all untied, Daryl looked all over Glenn. "Ya hurt anywhere?"
"No, I'm okay."
"Alright. Let's get outta here then and go back home." Daryl said as he held out his hand.
Glenn took it and they escaped out the room window, leaving the kid walker, Penny to her feast.
"-And he used this dart thing to knock me out and that's how he took me without me making a sound or struggle." Glenn explained as they walked down the field on the Greene family land, the house just in front of them.
"Bastard…so that's why your emotional signals cut in and out." Daryl growled out, his arm protectively around Glenn as they walked.
"So the ears…that's not something you've seen?" Glenn asked, his ears now gone.
"No, it might be common, I'm not sure, but me personally, no, I've never seen it. Maybe it only happens when you're scared? When I found you, you were emitting fear and that's when you had ears. When the danger was removed from you and you calmed, the ears went away."
"Oh, huh, yeah…that does explain it. So I'm gonna have my wolf ears appear when I'm scared?"
Daryl nodded. "Pretty much. We're gonna have to monitor it closely and be very careful since it can easily out us."
Glenn nodded as they were approaching the porch. They noticed Carl was sitting on the white railing. He got up when he saw the two and stood at the top of the porch steps.
"Where did you guys go?" Carl asked as they came up the steps.
"Aw, nowhere, just ran into a little trouble." Daryl stated dismissivly.
Carl looked worried at that. "Trouble?"
"It's over and done with now, so no need to worry, Car." Daryl said comfortingly.
Carl smiled at that and they went inside.
A week later Daryl, Glenn, and Carl were in Daryl's truck, Daryl driving with Carl in the middle and Glenn in the passenger seat. They decided a few days ago that they were gonna go their own way from the group and start their own life. The group was disappointed since Glenn was the best at retrieving things and maneuvering while Daryl was their best food gatherer. They were able to do those things without them, though, so they would be fine. Glenn and Maggie didn't want to separate, but Maggie understood Glenn's need to be on his own with his family. Even though they were parting ways now, Glenn and Daryl promised them that they would visit as long as they stayed at the house.
So the trio was driving on the road in search of their home. In that time, Daryl and Glenn told Carl about them being wolves. Carl was shocked, but found it really cool. They searched by car and in wolf form for their forever home, but nothing stood out at them for the longest time until they went on foot in a dense forest and found a nice brick house. It was two stories and was a good sized house for a small family, so they chose that one. Once Daryl drove his car up to it, they began to tidy up the inside. Supplies weren't far from their location, so getting things they needed wouldn't be complicated. They finally had a place they could call their own and live as a family which they were so overjoyed about.
A few months later the house looked more like people were living in it with furniture, bedding, and even some working appliances that took batteries. Carl is a wolf now too and he is adjusting well. He came to his mom and dad a few weeks ago about it and they agreed.
"Daaaad! That was so unfair!" Carl groaned as he and his father walked in from the front door, a cow over his father's shoulder.
"Unfair, little man? I'd think it's fair. We both played by the same rules. You just have to try harder, you are just startin' out, ya know." Daryl said in a grin as they walked to the kitchen to lay the cow out on the butcher table.
Glenn smiled at his two boys as he prepared dinner – not including the cow just yet.
"What are you two going on about?" Glenn asked.
"Dad jumped my kill before I could." Carl said in a pout.
Glenn laughed at that. The face he made was so cute. Daryl and Carl went out in the forest and hunted in their wolf forms earlier that day and Daryl made a game out of retrieving the meat for dinner. Try to catch the cow faster than the other.
"Oh, honey, you're gonna face some challenges with that. It's just a part of beginning something new. You'll get better." Glenn comforted.
That made Carl feel a bit better. "So what's for dinner other than the cow?" He asked excitedly feeling hungry.
"Curry with some broccoli."
"Ooh, that sounds good!" Carl said happily.
Daryl's mouth was watering at Glenn's words. "Sure does." He said.
As Glenn cooked the rice and broccoli, Daryl got the beef prepared from the cow. As they did so Glenn decided to bring up a certain conversation he and his now fiancé talked about last night.
"Hey, Car."
"Yeah." Carl answered from the dining table in the kitchen.
"Your dad and I have a surprise for you." Glenn said in a smile. Daryl smiled too.
Carl was very curious now. "Okay, what?"
"We're…expecting." Glenn hinted.
Carl analyzed that word a moment. "Expecting?...expecting…." He gasped when he finally figured it out. "Oh my God….you mean you're….?"
Glenn turned to him and laid a hand on his stomach which was flat for now. "Yes."
Carl's face busted out in a grin. "Yes! I hope it's a boy. I've always wanted a boy to play with."
Daryl grinned. "We know."
"I can finally be the one to teach someone instead of always being the one being taught. I can't wait!" Carl said excitedly.
During the 9 months, they finally got married, all their friends joining the wedding of course. And after the 9 months – they really missed hospitals in these situations – Daryl delivered their beautiful baby boy in their bathroom.
Carl was busying himself in the backyard waiting patiently. The baby was crying away, a signal that it was healthy. When Daryl cleaned the baby and wrapped it in a blanket and held it to his chest, the baby stopped crying. Glenn passed out into sleep, tired from the hard work of labor. After laying their son down in the carry cot, of which they were lucky to find in town, Daryl cleaned Glenn up and got some loose fitting pants on him and carried him to their bed. Then he carried the cot with their son inside over to a recliner chair in the corner and sat him on it before going to the backyard to inform their oldest son of the delivery.
"Hey, little man." Daryl greeted when he stepped outside. Carl turned from drawing in the dirt with a stick to his dad and smiled.
"Hi, dad, is it over, are they here?"
Daryl smiled at his excitement. "Yeah, bud, he's here."
Carl was surprised at that. His face broke out in the biggest smile. "It's a boy?! Really, dad?"
Daryl chuckled and nodded. "Yes, it's a boy."
"Yes! Yes-yes-yes-yes!"
Daryl full out laughed at that.
"Can I see him?" Carl asked once he calmed down a little.
Daryl smiled. "Yes, you can."
Daryl then motioned Carl to follow him and they walked into his and Glenn's bedroom. Right when they entered Daryl whispered to Carl.
"Stay quiet, he's asleep and your mother is too."
Carl nodded and quietly stepped over to his little brother. He adored him when his eyes laid on him. He had Daryl's hair color and Glenn's facial features. They haven't seen the eyes yet, so that was still unknown for now. While Carl was analyzing his brother, that's when Glenn woke up. Daryl walked over to his side when he noticed and held his hand.
"Hey, sweetie." Daryl whispered.
Glenn smiled. "Hey….where's the baby? Are they okay?"
Daryl smiled. "They're alright. He's beside you in the chair over in the corner. He's sleeping."
"Oh, so it's a boy, just like you wanted, Carl." Glenn said softly in a smile.
Carl smiled. "Yeah."
"Can I see him?" Glenn asked.
"Of course." Daryl said before going over to the chair and picking their son out of the cot and cradled him in the blanket and handed him over to his husband.
Glenn took him in his arms and grinned down at the beautiful living creature they created.
"He's so beautiful." Glenn stated.
"He doesn't have a name yet. Have anything in mind? I was thinkin' Jake…or Troy." Daryl ventured.
"I love both those names. Which do you like more Carl?" Glenn asked their oldest.
Carl looked contemplative then seemed to decide. "Troy. He looks more like a Troy to me. It fits him perfectly."
Daryl and Glenn looked at their new son and grinned. "Yeah, you're right. He does look like a Troy." Glenn agreed.
"Troy Dixon it is then." Daryl decided.
Glenn smiled happily at how good that sounded and looked down at his boy. "Welcome home, my baby boy." He whispered before nuzzling Troy's sleeping face and kissed his forehead.
"Aw, he's so cute and little!" Maggie said as she reached out for Troy and held him in her arms.
The Dixons were at the Greene farm visiting friends and introducing the new member of their family. Rick left a long time ago sometime after they moved, so he was no longer a part of the group. The women were overjoyed by the little guy and the men cracked a smile at the sight of the little blue eyed boy.
"I'm so the God mother, right?" Maggie asked Glenn and Daryl.
Glenn smiled. "Yes, you are, if you don't mind that."
Maggie's eyes widened. "Mind?! Who would mind such a cutie-pie like this? And my God mother statues goes for Carl too."
Glenn and Daryl laughed at her gushing over Troy. Troy was most fond of Maggie out of all their friends, so it seemed only perfect for her to be the God mother.
Daryl had an arm around his husband, them both watching as their friends talked and cooed at their baby and Carl talking about all the things he'll do for his baby brother.
"God, I never imagined our life would be this happy, and in an apocalypse."
Daryl huffed out a laugh. "Me neither."
Glenn looked up at his husband happily in thought. "Ya know….I'm so thankful that you came to this house and found me. I don't think my life would've been so great if it weren't for you."
Daryl was touched by that. "Aw, thanks, babe. I feel the same."
"Love you." Glenn said softly.
"Love you too." Daryl stated back before they joined in a kiss.
