Daryl had a small motive for taking Eve to meet Merle. For one he wanted to get it out of the way. Merle was a lot to handle so he wanted to go ahead and expose Eve to her brother's craziness but more importantly he wanted Eve to see his house and his land. He wanted her to see that he could provide for her and there kid, he wanted her to like the big white house out in the country and he wanted her to feel comfortable there so when he did breach the subject of her moving in with him and out of her shit hole she would already like the place. Hopefully.

He got her all the things Andrea had on the list and was even able to get her to eat some lunch and then they headed to his place. He knew she had seen the shop but he wanted her to see everything.

"Hey I never did ask. If you don't have a car how did you get to the bar an hour away from home that night?" he ask as they drove towards his place. Eve turned and looked at him.

"My friend Maggie that lives about 20 mins from here. We met in college. She had been talking with some guy online and they agreed to meet in a mutual location that wasn't near their homes just in case it didn't work out well. She ask me to come with her so she didn't meet him alone. Well, they hit it off even through I'm not sure how. She's a farmer's daughter and he looked like some xbox playing computer nerd. Anyways, she gave me cab fair to get back home when they decided to leave together." Eve told her and Daryl nodded.

"Maggie. As in Maggie Greene?" Daryl ask and Eve snapped her head to look back at him and she nodded.

"Yeah how do you know her?" she ask and Daryl chuckled.

"I don't know her but I know her old man. Hershel and his wife Jo. He's the vet we use for the dogs at home plus we did some repair work on this truck for him last year. We met both his daughters once or twice." Daryl said and Eve chuckled.

"Small world." She said and Daryl nodded as he passed there bike shop and headed down the dirt road to the house.

When Eve saw the house for the first time she gasp.

"Damn." She said as she sat forward in the seat to get a better look. It was a large white house sitting in the middle of a lot of land with woods behind it. It was breathtaking.

Daryl was pleased by her reaction he wanted her to like the place.

"Yall built this house?" Eve ask getting out of the truck and looking around.

"Yep. Took about a year but were happy with it. Come on." He said and pulled her by the wrist gently up the front steps and into the house.

"Well, well well." Merle said from where he and Michonne were laying in the livingroom watching a movie. Eve looked over at the couple as Daryl grunted.

"Eve this is my idiot brother and his girl Michonne. Guys this is Eve." Daryl said and Merle and Michonne came over. Michonne shook her hand while Merle looked her over from head to toe until Daryl growled at him and Merle just smirked.

"It a pleasure to finally meet ya sugar. Been getting tired of hearing little brother here complain about not being able to find ya." Merle said and then swept Eve off her feet into a hug. Daryl slapped his hand over his face and groaned when Eve squeaked at the sudden move and Daryl pulled her back down and beside him.

"Your gonna make her sick doing that shit stop." Daryl snapped and Merle just rolled his eyes at his already over protective brother.

"Don't mind him. He's a little tense." Michonne told Eve who chuckled and relaxed some. Daryl left the two idiots in the living room and showed Eve around. Eve was in awe at the house and the detail they put into it. When they finally made it to Daryl's room Eve sat on the balcony overlooking the front yard.

"This place is very nice Daryl." Eve told him as he handed her a cup of the tea Andrea told her to try and drink. He sat down next to her on the outdoor couch and nodded.

"Yeah were happy with it." Daryl told her and when he felt weight against him he looked over and saw Eve had leaned into his side and fallen asleep again. Chuckling he pulled her down into his lap again and laid his head back and he too was asleep within moments.

Eve jolted awake at the sound of the front door slamming and Daryl snapped his eyes open at her jump. Growled and stood on the balcony.

"Merle you idiot. You woke her up." He yelled as his brother and Michonne drove off on the back of his bike and Daryl flipped them the bird. Eve yawned and chuckled before checking Daryl's phone for the time.

"It's alright. I need to get back home anyways. Got work tomorrow." Eve told him and he nodded. He didn't want her to leave but he took her home anyways.

"I'd like to take you out sometime. If you don't mind." Daryl told her when they pulled up to her apartment and he finished glaring at the group of boys again.

"You don't have to date me Daryl just because I'm pregnant. I'm not trying to tie you down." Eve told him and he turned and looked at her beautiful face.

"Baby I wanted to take you after the morning I woke up and found ya gone it don't have nothing to do with you being pregnant. Now would you like to go out with me or not?" he ask and she nodded.

"Sure. Just call me and let me know when." She said and he nodded and kissed her forehead and watched as she blushed and slid out of the truck and walked inside.

Once she was safely inside he pulled out and headed back home.

He called her the next day to check on her and make plans for their date. She had Sunday off and said she'd like to do something outside if it was nice. He knew the perfect thing.

"You never did tell me where were going." Eve ask as they drove back to his house. He just smirked.

"It's a surprise now stop asking." He said and she huffed but nodded. Daryl had a hard time keeping his eyes off her. She looked better today. She said the tea and new vitamins were helping. She still got sick sometimes but not all the time like before and she was able to get more sleep. She was wearing Tan Capri pants, sandals and a tank top. She was smoking hot and Daryl had a hard time keeping his eyes on the road.

They pulled up to his place and he held the door open for her.

"Ever ridden a 4 wheeler?" he ask and she raised a brow at his question but nodded. He lead her around back to see a large black 4wheeler ready with a box of something strapped to the front.

"I won't go to fast or move ya around to much but it's faster than hiking." He said and she nodded and slid on behind him and wrapper her arms around his waist. He groaned to himself at the feel of her as his back and couldn't wait to get her on his bike.

Eve enjoyed the ride and the view was very pretty as they road through the trails behind his house. It took about 20 mins but Daryl stopped and told her to wait.

He took the box and she watched as he opened it and pulled out a large blanket, laying it on the edge of the cliff they had stopped at. She teared up some when he pulled out a picnic basket and a pillow for her and then waved her over.

He had taken her for a picnic overlooking the lake and Eve couldn't have through up a better date.

"Why ya getting teary?" he ask wiping her eye with his finger as he helped her sit on the pillow. She snorted and smiled.

"Cause this is the best date anyone ever took me on is all." She said and he looked down and blushed.

"What is this I'm eating? It's good?" she ask after finishing half her sandwich. He swallowed and chuckled.

"It's deer meat. It's part of my kill from yesterday." He said and Eve gasp in shock.

"Wow. Do how long have you been hunting?" she ask and he smirked pleased when she kept eating the meat. He made a note to make sure to keep his freezer stocked with deer if she liked it so much.

"My whole life I guess. Had to eat somehow." He told her and went in to telling her a little about his childhood. Eve felt bad for him but was glad at the man he was now. The man that was the father of her baby.

"Well, in a since I know that you went through. Not to that extreme but I was born to two parents that thought of having kids as an investment. My older sister and I were raised and breed for the sole purpose of making out parents look good and following in their footsteps. My sister was always the picture perfect child and made them proud. I was always the dreamer, the different one. My parents and I fought all the time because they couldn't understand why I didn't want to be more like my sister. When they sent me off to college for business just like my sister I met Brent. He was charming at first and opposite of what my father would have wanted so I dated him. He ended up getting kicked out for partying and letting his grades drop so he ask me to move to the city with him. I did and my father flipped out. Last I saw of my father was when she back handed me and told me to never show my face around there home again. I lived in Atlanta with Brent for a couple years until I came home from work one day early to see him fucking someone in our bed. A betrayal like that is not something I can forgive so I left and haven't seen him since. He wasn't a nice man either so I was glad to be rid of him. Last I heard he was in jail for drugs." Eve told him and Daryl nodded. Mad at her crappy parents and ex hurting her but glad she felt comfortable enough to tell him.

They stayed there talking for hours and watched the sunset. It was a wonderful evening and by the time Daryl got Eve home she was ready for bed.

"Thanks Daryl. It was amazing." Eve told him as Daryl walked her to the door. He nodded and cupped her cheek in his large hand and bent forward and kissed her sweetly on the lips. She moaned as she kissed him deeper before they pulled away. Memories of their night together flashed between them and Daryl knew he needed to leave before he pressed her against her door and took her again. He needed to go slow with her this time.

"I'll call ya tomorrow." He said kissing her one more time and she nodded. He waited for her to go inside before heading home with a pleased smile on his face.

He kissed her and she returned it. Hell yeah.
