Bella stood her arms crossed with Sam, Daryl, Rick and Glenn. Pete was there as well as Reg and Deanna. Pete was making a complaint against Bella for taking over his clinic. He was capable of taking care of the kid.
Pete was shouting and complaining now and Bella let him. Daryl looked like he was about to hit the guy but Rick put a hand on Daryl's shoulder.
"Pete stop." Deanna raised her voice. She looked at Bella. "The boy. Is he okay?"
Bella nodded. "He is stable."
Deanna blew out a breath. "What happened?"
"They barged in is what they did." Pete barked out.
Bella raised a brow. "I'm not going to argue with him. We barged in. We took over the clinic to do an emergency procedure. One he isn't capable of doing because not only is he just a family practitioner, he's inadequate at that. He was drinking when we arrived. I wasn't going to let him touch the boy with him having alcohol in his body."
"Bitch. I do not drink while working." Pete cursed at Bella and then he stepped towards her.
Bella stopped Daryl. "Number one. That is the first and only time you'll get to call me anything outside my name. Number two, we can all smell alcohol on your breath Pete you're spewing it everywhere. Number three. If you're going to hit me, you better knock me out because if you don't, then you're not going to like what comes next. Let me tell you how this is going to work." She continued, cutting off anyone else from speaking. "I am a surgeon. I am a Master Sergeant and an Army Ranger. I have tactical training beyond your intellectual comprehension. I have skills in which case I can use to immobilize you without you realizing what's happened. So, that being said. You are going to go home. You are going to calm down and sober up. When you are sober then you come find me. We will have a conversation about your feelings then. For right now, there is a little boy who was abandoned and branded. He is unconscious and will wake up in pain. We have another doctor. Another surgeon who's surgical skills surpass my own that will take care of the boy. Not you. You don't get to touch the boy."
Pete growled at Bella. "Cunt." He cursed and spat in her direction. It was a shock to Deanna but not Reg it seemed. Or Sam.
Bella nodded. She was completely calm while Daryl was getting ready to knock Pete out. But Bella moved fast and before Pete knew it, he was unconscious on the ground after Bella slammed her knee into his face. He fell to the ground.
"Oh my god." Deanna gasped. "You-"
"I do not take kindly to belligerence. I don't accept him as the doctor here. I doubt he has an actual license and if he does, then I don't know how. He's a drunk. He did my sutures earlier and they are piss poor. Now, I am a civil person. I am not a heathen or a barbarian. I will not be treated as such. Am I clear?" Bella said, her tone smooth as she stared at Deanna.
Deanna nodded. "Right. Sam, take Pete home. Tell Jessie that he needs to get some rest and not to worry about clinic duties for a while. That they're covered for the time being."
Sam nodded and slapped Bella on the back before retrieving Pete and tossing him over his shoulder and he carried him out of the house.
Rick cleared his throat. "I will let Doctor Cullen know to report to the clinic tomorrow."
"That will be perfect Rick, thank you." Reg spoke up. Reg was older and was Deanna's husband. He had greying hair and a long nose. His eyes an older blue.
Rick hesitated but he nodded to Glenn and the two left to go back to the house, leaving Bella and Daryl.
"Daryl and I are going hunting. We will bring back food for the town. I spoke with Olivia earlier about it. Carol, she's a botanist. I suggest you talk to her. She can help with any crop issue you have." Bella suggested.
Deanna found Bella interesting. She wasn't the leader but she acted like one. "You were a platoon leader."
"No. I wasn't I was second and I was the medic in our group. I know what I'm doing Deanna. Do you?" Bella challenged.
Reg lay a hand on his wife's shoulder. "We appreciate all of you. Thank you for helping so much when you just got here. Rest some before heading out on a hunt. You deserve the break." He said kindly.
Bella glanced to Daryl then nodded and looked back to Reg. "Sure. Rest sounds nice." She said. "I'll be around if I'm needed." She said and then she left with Daryl.
They walked back to the clinic to go inside to check on the boy. Olivia was there cleaning up things and to also be there in case the boy woke up. She looked up at Daryl and Bella. "Hey. He's still sleeping. Pulse seems stronger. Sam showed me how to use the little finger thing."
Bella smiled at Olivia. "Thank you Olivia. Um. I don't want him to be alone really. Is-"
"I'll look over him so you can get some rest. Then I'll switch with Denise. She's a doctor too. Psychiatrist." Olivia supplied.
"Thank you." Bella said and checked on the boy. Looking at his side to make sure there wasn't any bloating or bruising that could indicate internal bleeding. He seemed fine. Just sleeping. So, she left him with Olivia and she left with Daryl.
The sun was going down in the sky and the sky was turning the orange hue that it did when the sun was meeting the horizon. Daryl stopped Bella before they walked in the house.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"No. I'm not. Come on. I want you to come to bed with me." Bella said and opened the door.
Daryl followed her inside and stopped in the kitchen where Rick was with Glenn. He nodded to Bella and she went on upstairs to the room that Rick said she could sleep in. He looked at Rick. "Tell doc?"
"Yeah. I talked to Carlisle. He's going to check on him tonight too." Rick said. He nodded towards the stairs. "She okay?"
Daryl shook his head. "She's going to rest some. Where's Merle?"
"Next door playing cards with Bob, Abe and Eugene." Rick said. "You going to bed?"
"Yeah." Daryl said. "I'll be up for watch at 4."
"Sleep in Daryl. We're okay. It's time to rest good." Glenn spoke up.
Daryl just nodded and then walked up the stairs to the bedroom Bella was in. He walked in, shutting the door behind him. She was sitting on the side of the bed just staring at her hands. "Hey."
Bella blinked a few times and looked up at Daryl. "Hey."
Daryl leaned down and unlaced her combat boots and pulled them off for her. He then took one of her feet and started rubbing it. She sighed closing her eyes as she let Daryl rub her foot. He didn't know why he did. It wasn't something he went around doing but he wanted to ease her tension. He moved his hands up to her calf and massaged her calf some.
"Mmm." Bella didn't realize how sore her muscles were. Daryl kept massaging, switching to her other foot and worked his way up her calves. When he stopped she opened her eyes to look at Daryl.
"You need to rest." Daryl murmured.
Bella reached for him, taking his hand and pulled him onto the bed. Daryl obliged, hovering over her as her hands pushed at the hem of his shirt, sliding her hands over his skin. "Touch me." She murmured and then leaned up to kiss him.
Daryl kissed her back, his hands moving over her hips to her sides under her shirt. The bed felt nice considering they were used to sleeping weirdly in the cars and then on the ground.
Bella arched against him, her body wanting more of his.
Daryl pulled away from the kiss to look at her. "This isn't resting."
"This relaxes me." Bella said and moved her hand over his chest.
"Twice in one day is new for me." Daryl said and kissed her softly.
Bella smiled. "I'll do all the work." She kissed him again turning with him in the bed so she was on top. She pulled her shirt off and then unsnapped her bra, letting it fall to the bed. Daryl reached up, cupping her breast with his hands, thumbing over her nipples. Bella smiled then she pulled her hair out of the bun and let her long hair flow around her like a curtain.
It didn't take them long to get completely naked in the bed. Bella sat on top, feeling his hard cock inside her from a different angle. They both moaned a little. This was a different experience for her. She didn't usually do this, being on top, taking on dominance. It wasn't in her sexual nature. She shifted her hips, dancing them, stroking a spot inside her she didn't know she had.
Daryl's hands went to her hips, feeling every movement as she rode his cock. He felt so full despite earlier. She twirled her hips faster as she chased her orgasm. She started bouncing a little and he groaned a little as pleasure started wrapping around him tight. He looked up at her. She looked like a beautiful goddess sitting on top of him. She gasped a little, the surprise on her face mimicking earlier. She tightened around him as she orgasmed.
Daryl felt her slickness as she continued faster and faster. His cock swelled, oozing a little as she kept dancing her hips. "Bella. I'm about to cum." He warned her.
Bella was in her pleasure cloud. Feeling high as she kept going, faster and faster until she sunk over taking him deeper. She felt his cock explode inside her and she gasped at the sensation. She didn't realize the feeling could get any better.
Daryl's hands calmed her hips as he emptied himself inside her. She was panting as she sat on top of him. Sweat had beaded on her skin from her exertion.
Bella closed her eyes, just taking it the tingling pleasure that was running through her. She didn't move yet. Didn't know if she could move.
Daryl felt his heart slamming in his chest. He couldn't move after that. It was different being inside her like that. The sensitivity was great. But he summoned the strength to lift her off of him. She lay in the bed then next to him.
They were both quiet, letting their heads clear from the pleasure.
"I've never felt like this before." Bella said, breaking the silence.
Daryl looked over at her. "What about Gage's dad?"
Bella's smile faltered and she looked away. "No."
Daryl rolled to his side to look at her fully. "Bella…"
Bella looked at Daryl. Tears in her eyes. "I didn't get a choice."
Daryl frowned and sat up looking at her. "Bella… you were raped?"
Bella covered her face with her hands, pushing the heel of her palm into her eyes to force the tears back.
Daryl shifted, pulling her hands away from her face. "Shhh. Don't cry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
Bella sat up, her dark hair falling over her shoulder. "No. It's okay. Um. He did rape me. But it was more than that. For years he groomed me. Little sister, let's play a game. Little sister, this is just pretend."
Daryl put a hand up to his mouth, shock filling him. It was a shocking thing to hear. She had been through so much.
"My mom married a guy. He had a son. He was my stepbrother." Bella sniffed, wiping at her face. "He was older."
Daryl remembered her saying she wasn't an only child before. "So Gage… he was…"
"Yes. My dad had him arrested and he was in jail but I knew he was released the year before the start of the apocalypse. He contacted me wanting to see Gage." Bella sniffed again.
Daryl reached out and took her hand in his, running his thumb over her knuckle. "I'm sorry that happened to you."
"Gage… oh God. He was the best kid. He loved space. Had such a great imagination. He was so smart." Bella laughed a little and smiled. "When dad died, he was the one that cheered me up. When I decided to join the army he was my biggest cheerleader. He was so young and I left for so long. But he was proud. He bragged to his friends that his mommy was a superhero." She wiped her face.
Daryl smiled. "You are a superhero."
"He wanted to be an Army ranger too. Like his mommy. When everything happened. I left Fort Benning and went to the woods. I knew there was a cabin I could hole up in. It was clear it was the end of the world. So I took Gage. We went… we went to the woods. Three months it took me to make everything safe. Walkers couldn't get to us. didn't… I didn't think about people finding us." She swallowed and looked down at Daryl's hand over hers.
Daryl reached his other hand up and cupped her face gently. "You don't have to say it."
"Yes, I do. Edward. He found Gage foraging for berries. A storm was coming. Thunder rolling in. I called for Gage and he didn't come immediately so I started to look for him. Edward appeared then." She shook her head. "He said he wouldn't hurt him if I gave him food. So we went inside… and uh. He wanted more than food. But I didn't want it to be in front of Gage so I told Gage to stay inside and color and I went outside with Edward. He… he unfastened his pants and then I thought maybe I could get the jump on him but he shot me. In my chest. The scar…"
Daryl touched the scar, his fingers tracing it gently.
"Gage heard the shot and ran outside. He called my name. Edward caught him. Aimed the gun at his head. The look… the look in Gage's eyes. Fear. And I couldn't save him. I couldn't save my son. Edward shot him. I replay it in my head all the time. Gage falling to the ground, dead." Bella sobbed a little.
Daryl pulled her into his arms holding her as she cried. He didn't say anything. Just comforted her.
