So I haven't posted since October even though I said I would, so I'm sorry about that. The next bit I have for you all has been in a box along with a lot more of my handwritten fan fiction for about nine months. There isn't much Daryl x Carol in it since I was trying to change it up a little while I was writing it at school. Also since I get out for summer break on Tuesday I will be able to write more and hopefully I will have more ideas to start both of my stories up again. I hope you guys like it.

To remind you of what has happened so far: Rick's daughter Jessica was kidnapped by cannibals and one of the members in the cannibal's group, Rhiannon, helped her escape. Soon Rhiannon discovers that Merle is her father that she never really knew about. Carl which is Rhiannon's age quickly notices that she isn't like everyone else and develops a crush on her. Okay, so here we go.

Daryl's Pov.

"Wonder what Merle is going to do when he finds out they can still talk." I laughed.

"I don't know, I think it is cute." Carol smiled.

"Merle doesn't do cute. He caught 'em kissing in the tower last night and said he'd kill the kid if he found them doin it again." I grumbled.

"Merle shouldn't be so worried. Carl wouldn't hurt her." Carol said turning to face me.

"She aint ready, They just met yesterday.." I grunted.

"You know we started just as a one night stand." She frowned.

"They're just kids. If I find out they start doing that I'll put an arrow in both of their asses." I growled.

"Stop being so grouchy." She laughed handing me breakfast.

"I aint. I'm just worried. If we're having a girl she ain't dating till she's thirty." I chuckled.

"Oh, come on. We aren't even thirty yet." She giggled.

I smiled kissing her on the lips quickly, "Fine, she can when she's eighteen."

"Or when she's ready." She said giving me a small smile and placing her hand on her growing baby bump.

I put my hand a little above hers and gently kiss her. I pulled away when I felt a kick. Carol and I looked at each other grinning.

"I SWEAR I'LL KILL HER! SHE'S SUCH A FUCKING SMART ASS!" Merle growled.

"Musta got it from you!" I joked.

Carl's Perspective.

I still could not believe Merle had walked in and saw us kiss. I stayed back in the tower after watching Rhiannon get carried away. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't scared of Merle himself just what he was threatening to do.

As I went back to my cell I noticed a thick chain around the opening to Rhiannon's. She was asleep on the ground with one of her small pale hands out of the cell laying across the cold cement floor hallway outside of the cell.

It was starting to get light out so I sat down beside her cell. I touched her hand and shook it a bit so she'd wake up and get onto her bed. She slowly raised her head and groaned.

"Get into bed, it has to be uncomfortable on the cold hard ground." I whispered.

"I'm sorry about my dad." She muttered frowning.

"It's fine, he's just worried about you." I smiled tracing little patterns into her hand.

"Yeah, but I wish he would just trust me. I'm nothing like my mom was." She yawned.

We whispered to each other for about an hour until I heard Merle waking up. I quickly got up, "I'll see you in a second." I whispered running to my cell.

A few minutes later I heard chains rattling and voices. "Why don't you trust me?" I heard Rhiannon ask.

"I do, I just don't trust him with ya." Merle grumbled.

"Why" She questioned.

"I know what guys want from girls." He replied.

"Carl isn't you and I'm not mom." She snapped.

I stepped out into the hall and stood there listening to them argue.

"I never said ya was!" Merle growled.

"But you're thinking it! You think I'll just give it up for anyone who is interested but I won't. I'm not like that! I just want you to believe me." She yelped running out of the cell and out of the cell block.

I ran after her into the tombs. Suddenly I heard her stop running and yelp. When I got to her I saw a man holding a gun to her head with his arm around her stomach.

"Let her go!" I shouted raising my gun.

I was about to repeat myself but Rhiannon had dropped to the ground escaping his grip and leaving a perfect shot. I quickly pulled the trigger and the man fell.

Rhiannon grabbed his gun and raised it pointing it at me. I shut my eyes tight just as she pulled the trigger.

Okay guys I hope you liked it. I decided to stop there as sort of a cliff hanger. Will Carl be okay? Didn't they have a connection?! What was she thinking?! You will find out in the next chapter.

Thanks for reading. I've missed you guys.
