Daryl arrived at her place a little after 11. He looked around the area to see if there was any danger this time but he didn't see anyone. Must be too early for the losers to be up.
Walking to her door he knocked and head her yelled for him to come in.
"Eve." He called when he walked in and looked around. For being a shithole she kept it really clean even with the bare minimum of things she had.
"Bathroom." He heard and then he heard the sounds of puking. She was sick again.
He went right in and felt his heart clench. She was bent over the toilet hugging it to her as she puked her brains out, tears falling down her face.
He took a wet washrag and placed it on her forehead and handed her the glass of water that was sitting on the floor once she was done. She leaned back against his chest panting as she let the cool rag help and sipped some water.
"It is always like this?" he ask her as he held her in the bathroom. She nodded.
"For the last week or so. Can happen anytime during the day." She said and he felt bad as hell for her.
"Andrea will be able to tell you what to do about this." He told her and she nodded to him with her eyes closed.
"Ya think you're done now?" he ask and she nodded once her breathing was back to normal. He tossed the rag into the basket and bent down and scooped her up into his arms. She squeaked in surprise as he carried her to the living room and sat her gently on the couch.
"I can still walk ya know." she told him and he smirked.
"Hush now women." He teased and she chuckled as she laid back on the arm of the couch and closed her eyes for a few moments. He waited until her nausea passed and she opened her eyes again.
"What time is it?" She ask and he looked at his phone.
"11:30." He told her and she nodded and moved to sit up.
"What ya doing?" he ask as he stood to help her up. She swatted his hand away with a chuckle.
"Going to finish getting ready. Be right back." She told him and he gave a nod and sat on the counter and waited. He looked around some and noticed she had been in the process of eating a small breakfast when she got sick and didn't finish.
"Think you'll be able to finish eating?" he yelled back to her.
"Hell no. I'm not even gonna try I'll just puke again in your truck." She called back and Daryl frowned, biting his thumb nail as he waited. He really didn't think it was a good idea for pregnant women to skip meals but he didn't want to say anything since he knew next to nothing about pregnancy or kids.
She came out 10 minutes later in a pair of jeans and tee shirt and Daryl gave her a once over from head to toe. God she was beautiful.
"I'm ready." She told him walking over and tossing her breakfast in the trash. He nodded and led her out to the truck.
"This doctor anit an old girlfriend or one night stand of yours is she?" she ask and Daryl snorted.
"Naw. She's my brother's girl Michonne's friend. She's a lesbian. Her and her girlfriends are cool people." Daryl told her and Eve nodded before yawning.
She fell asleep in the truck on the ride there and Daryl reach over and laid her head gently in his lap so she'd be more comfortable as he drove. She really needed the rest.
The ride didn't take long at all but Daryl took his time getting there so she'd be able to rest more and plus he didn't want to wake her yet. He was enjoying having her head in his lap so he could run his hands through her hair as he drove. Her wonderful natural vanilla scent that he remembered from that night filled his truck and relaxed him.
They got to the office early and Daryl just sat in the truck until about 15 mins until the appointment time and then started gently waking her up.
"Eve. Evie." He said and she stirred and groaned, opening her eyes and looking up at him.
"Hey." She said and he chuckled.
"Hey." He replied back.
"How'd I get down here?" she ask and he smirked.
"I put ya here when ya fell asleep against the door. Wanted you to be more comfortable so ya could rest more. Ya need it." he said with a shrug and she smiled at him and sat up stretching. Daryl watched her sit ride up as he glanced at her now flat stomach and she noticed and laughed.
"What?" she ask him and he shook his head.
"When will ya start looking pregnant?" he ask her and she shrugged.
"Couple month's maybe. Maybe less." She said and he nodded before getting out and jogging around to open the door and help her out. She smiled in surprise at how much of a gentleman the rough redneck really was, at least to her.
They walked in and was greeted by a older women with short grayish hair.
"Hey Daryl. This must be Eve?" she said smiling and Daryl nodded putting an arm around Eve's waist.
"Hey Carol. Yeah this is Eve. How's Ty?" he ask and Carol smiled at the younger Dixon as she handed Eve her paperwork.
"He's good. Ready for that bike your working on for him." Carol told him and Daryl chuckled.
"Merle and Mich should be finishing it up today. Tell him not to wreck it this time." Daryl told her and she chuckled and nodded as Daryl led Eve over to sit down. Eve gave Daryl a smirking look and Daryl rolled his eyes.
"No, Carol anit an old nothing of mine either. Geese I barley had a few one night stands in my 27 years. Doubt you'll ever run into any of them. Merle and Me met Carol a few years ago when Merle got out of jail the last time. We was just starting up our business and building of our house. Ed Carol's ex came in to have work done. We fixed his bike and dropped it off to find him beating his wife and daughter Sophia. Apparently he'd been doing it for years. Well, Merle and me don't have no use for men that do that so we beat his ass and called the cops. He went to jail and Andrea's girlfriend Karen is a lawyer and got Carol her divorce and they gave her this job to help her start over. When her new husband Tyreese sister Sasha came in when she and Bob got pregnant they met and are married now. There good people too." Daryl told her and Eve nodded. It amazed her how many people he seemed to know. Hell, the only people she knew where the ones at work and she could hardly call them her friends. Only Maggie who lived not too far from Daryl was her friend and they hardly had time to talk now days.
She filled out all the paperwork and sat back down next to Daryl. She was pleasantly surprised when he automatically put his arm around her shoulder as she sat next to him. She didn't say anything but she like when he touched her.
"Eve." She was called and they followed the nurse in the back. She was ask a lot of the same questions, weight, blood drawn and checked her blood pressure and temp. Then they were led into another room. So far everyone was being really nice and Daryl seemed more relaxed then he had been at the other place. When the doctor came in Eve was surprised to see a young pretty blonde walk in and smirk at Daryl and he rolled his eyes at her.
"Don't even start Blondie." Daryl groaned and Eve chuckled.
"I can honestly say I never expected to one day be treating and delivering the next generation of Dixon. But I'm happy to do it." she said and Daryl rolled his eyes again and Eve just smiled. She like this doctor.
Andrea as Eve was told to call her was very sweet and funny and like to give Daryl a hard time.
"She's been getting sick a lot. Is there something for that?" Daryl ask serious now and wanting to know if Eve was always going to be sick. Andrea smiled at how sweet it was to see Daryl care about this small women and un born child.
"The first trimester can be rough on women. There are some prenatals that you can try that might not make you as sick. Insurance doesn't cover them but I can right the website down where you can look them up. There's also a tea you can drink and I'll prescribe you something to take but it's not for everyday use. Only when it gets real bad." Andrea said and Eve nodded as Andrea wrote everything down.
"The vitamins are kind of pricey." Andrea said and Daryl snorted.
"Just write down what she needs and I'll get it whatever it is." Daryl said and Andrea rolled her eyes but nodded and Eve just snorted but didn't say anything.
"Now, we need to talk about you working and doing all this walking you told me about. Walking a little each day is fine, in fact as long as you're not in pain or uncomfortable its good for you but walking too much especially in your late 2nd and third trimester can be dangerous. You're a very petite women so your body may not handle the extra weight well and you don't want to overdo it. You may not be able to stay on your feet to work long hours the whole time." Andrea said and Daryl could see Eve biting her lip in worry but nodded. He had wondered if her small frame would be an issue and now he knew it might be.
"Here is a list of things you can't eat and medicines that are safe to take. Also a list of things you can and cannot do as your pregnancy progresses and some other things to read up on." Andrea said handing everything over to Daryl when his hand shot out. He scanned it all quickly taking it all in. He needed to read up on everything.
"Other than that you look good. You're about 4 weeks going by your last period so I'll see you again in a month unless something comes up. Will do an ultrasound then to check the heartbeat and get the first measurements." Andrea said and Eve nodded and smiled and thanked her for everything.
They left after that and Eve felt so much better with this doctor than the last one. She felt she could trust this office to take care of her.
"So what do you think?" Daryl ask as they drove away and Eve smiled.
"I liked her a lot. Thanks for setting this up. You sure you won't mind picking me up all the time?" she ask and he snorted and nodded.
"Done told ya I would women. Not stop worrying so much. Worry anit good for ya." He said and Eve chuckled before shaking her head with a smile on her face.
"So you don't got to work. Want to come and meet my idiot brother and maybe have lunch. After we stop and get this stuff you need." He said holding up Andrea's list and Eve nodded and went to open her mouth about the cost but Daryl cut her off.
"Don't even start. I'm paying for it." he told her and she snapped her mouth shut and gave him a small glare and he only chuckled at her. She was a feisty kitten. But he was determined to make sure she had everything she needed whether she wanted him to or not. She'd just have to get use to it.
