"I found it washed up on the creek bed right there. She must of dropped it and it went down stream or something." Daryl said pointing on the map where he found Sophia's doll, while Hershel stitched his side.

"That cuts the grid almost in half." Rick said while Daryl looked over at his wound.

"yeah your welcome." He said in a sarcastic tone.

"How's he looking?" Rick asked Hershel.

"I had no idea we would be going through anti-biotic so fast. Any idea what happened to my horse?" Hershel asked Daryl.

"yeah the one that almost killed me? It's smart it left the country."

"We call that one Nellie as in Nervous Nellie. I could of told you she would throw you if you bothered to ask. It's a wonder how you people managed to live this long." Hershel said. Everyone left the room leaving Daryl in the bed to sleep.

...

A silence filled the room while everyone ate there food. The sound of forks scraping against the glass plates and chewing was only thing they could be heard. Maggie felt something touch her lap and she looked down and saw a folded piece of paper. She slowly opened the paper and read the words 'tonight' spelled out in pen. Looking at the paper then back to her meal she thought the idea through. If she was going to get over her crush on Daryl she would have to stop thinking about him or maybe do something to make her stop thinking about him. Grabbing the pen she wrote where on the paper and slid it over to Glenn. She saw a smile on his face as he read it. He went to rite down where and she noticed people were looking and turned her head pretending she had no clue what Glenn was doing. She felt him slide the paper under her leg and he gave her wink before going back to his food.

As everyone begun to clean up after dinner Maggie went into the other room to read where she was suppose to go meet Glenn. Opening the note she saw 'the barn' written and her jaw dropped. She shoved the letter into her pocket and ran to the barn like her life depended on it.

...

Daryl was getting comfy in bed when he heard the squeak of the door opening. He made a huff pissed that someone was disturbing, turning over he saw Carol walking in caring a tray food. Daryl pulled the blanket over his wound and moved himself up a bit on the bed.

"How you feeling?" Carol asked placing the tray on the bedside table.

"As good as I look." Daryl replied pulling the blanket over him more.

"I brought you some dinner. You must be starving." Daryl turned and looked at her as she was bending down. She planted a kiss on his head making him feel a bit uncomfortable. He had never been kissed like that before and it was different not like sexual but motherly. "You need to know something." Daryl turned and looked at her.

"You did more for my little girl than her own daddy ever done."

"I didn't do anything Rick or Shane wouldn't do."

"I know but your every bit just as good as them." She replied before leaving the room. Daryl laid there thinking about her words and slowly falling asleep.

When Daryl woke up he made his way out to his tent planning on laying down for the day. He had no idea though how boring it was going to be. He grabbed an arrow and started to poke it through the screen of the tent trying to keep himself preoccupied. He heard footsteps coming up to his tent and her turned his head and saw Andrea. "Hey, This is not that great but." She said handing a book to him. Daryl took the book from her and looked through the pages.

"What no pictures?" He asked her with a smile.

"I'm so sorry. I feel like shit for what happened."

"Yeah, you and me both." he replied sitting up on his cot.

"I don't expect you to forgive me but if there is anything I can do."

"You were trying to protect the group, were good." He said playing with the end of the arrow. Andrea gave him a smile and left the tent. Daryl picked up the book and scanned through the pages and then threw the book across the tent. He could hear the sound of everyone getting into trucks and talking about gun practice. Daryl knew he wasn't missing out on anything except looking for Sophia. He had just found her doll and he wanted to get back out there and search for her. He wanted to be the one to bring her back to Carol. Daryl lied his head back and closed his eyes listening to the noises around him, the sound of footsteps coming towards his tents made him open his eyes. He looked over to the door and saw a smiling looking Maggie.

"Hey" Maggie said stepping into Daryl's tent. He smiled at her then looked out the screen window.

"My dad wanted me to come out here check up on you." She said kneeling down next to him, he turned his head and gave her nod with his head. He pulled his shirt off his arms and turned on his side for Maggie. Maggie hesitantly put her hands on his side. She felt Daryl tense under her touch so she pulled one hand off his skin and grabbed the bandage with the other. "He was going to go change you bandage in the morning but you weren't there."

"Yeah didn't want to over stay my welcome." He said watching her hands as she changed the bandage.

"Well it looks good, Just later on tonight come by the house so I can change it again okay? My dad also said don't do a lot you don't want to tear your stitches." She ask him finishing with the bandage, Daryl gave a nod with his head and pulled his shirt back on his arm. Maggie gave him a smile and grabbed the old bandage getting to her feet, she turned to walk out of the tent when she heard a very quiet noise. She turned her head and looked at Daryl who was not sitting up on his cot.

"Maggie, thanks." he softly said, Maggie smiled at him and left the tent

...

Maggie was walking out of the chicken coop when she saw Glenn walking over towards her. Sense he had found the walkers in the barn she had been avoiding him, she didn't want to admit but she was starting to look at them now more as walkers than people. Looking down at the eggs in her basket a smiled spread across her face as she came up with an idea. "Maggie can we talk?" he asked her she walked past him ignoring him. "Maggie please?" he pleaded with her to talk to him.

"Give me your hat." She said gesturing with her hand.

"What?" He said putting a hand on his head.

"You heard me. You told me to talk so I'm talking, give me your hat." Glen took the at from his head and gave it to Maggie. Maggie pulled a egg out of the basket and put it inside the hat then put the hat on Glenn's head. She smiled as the yoke slid down his face.

"Why would you just waste a egg like that?" He asked her pulling the hat from his head and shacked out the egg.

"I think it was rotten." Maggie said smirking and walking back to the house.

...

Daryl watched from the trees as Maggie slamed the hat down on Glenn. A smiled spread on his face as the yoke dripped down his face. He watched as Maggie walked back to the house leaving Glenn who was attempting to clean out his hat of the egg alone at the Chicken coop. Daryl had no idea why she had done that but it had been was of the most amusing things he had seen since the dead took over the world. He was to foucused on Maggie that he didn't notice that Dale was watching him not to far away. Daryl turned his head and looked at Dale who was giving him a smile. "What ya smiling at." He said in a pissed off tone at Dale. The old man's smile just grew bigger and shrugged his shoulders.

"I wasn't aware you liked her to." He said watching Daryl as he made his way back to his tent.

"You don't know whatcha talkin about old man." Daryl said stepping into his tent and planting his ass on his cot. Dale just smiled and headed back to the RV shacking his head at the fact that Daryl Dixon had a crush.

...

Maggie could hear the front door slam shut and knew Patricia, Beth and Jimmy were back from shooting practice. Not wanting to hear them she got off her bed and walked over to the door closing it shut. She heard a loud thud when she shut the door. Maggie walked over and fell on to her bed making a loud groan noise. A knock came from her door making her groan again. "What do you want?" She yelled getting off the bed and heading for the door. She was shocked when she opened the door Daryl was standing on the other side.

"Well you really know how to treat a gest." Daryl said as Maggie opened the door and looked at him.

"I'm sorry, come in." Maggie said stepping out of the door way for him to come in. Daryl walked into Maggie's room and observed the room. It looked like most of the other rooms in the house there wasn't really anything that different. Maggie shut the door and walked over to the bed taking a seat.

"So you uh goin to change my bandage or what?" He asked her, Maggie nodded her head and got up from the bed.

"Yeah sorry it's been a long day." She said walking over to her dresser and grabbing the bandage stuff. Daryl sat down on the bed watching Maggie as she got the stuff to change his bandage. Maggie walked over and took a seat next to him. "Okay I need you to remove your shirt." Daryl nodded and unbuttoned the shirt, tossing it on the bed behind him.

Maggie watched as Daryl took off his shirt revealing his chest. Last time she had changed his bandage he had been on his side and his shirt covered his chest now it was exposed to her. Her eyes looked to it his muscled chest. "Alright lay down on your side." She told him, he nodded his head and laid down. Maggie put one hand on his rib cage and the other on the bandage. Slowly she pealed it off and gave it a look. "Well it looks good give it a few more days then you'll be happy to go out and do what ever you do." She said placing a new bandage on the wound. Daryl sat up and Maggie noticed a scratch on his chest. "How did you get that?" She asked him pointing to the scratch on his chest, Daryl looked down and saw the deep scratch she was talking about.

"Probably the shrubs from when I fell." He said looking at the scratch. Maggie reached her hand out and touch the scratch making Daryl tense. His eyes shot open and looked at her as she traced the scratch. Daryl wasn't expecting her to touch him and he knew she knew that he really didn't like people touching him. There was something though about the way her fingers traced the scratch that made Daryl relax a bit.

Maggie's eyes moved from the scratch to Daryl's eyes that were looking at her. Slowly Maggie moved her hand from the scratch and moved further up to his neck. Daryl licked his lips as Maggie moved her hand up to his neck. He saw her start to lean into him and he wasn't sure if he should lean back to her or stop this now. He looked at her lips then back to her eyes that were looking at him with want. Daryl moved his hand to her face placing gently on her cheek. In the back of his mind he was yelling at himself, telling himself to stop this now. Daryl ran his tongue along his lips debating on if he really was about to kiss her or not.

Maggie moved her face into his hand and closed her eyes for a brief second before re-opening them. She could tell he was hesitant about this and she wanted him to kiss her. Maggie leaned in more and this time she saw Daryl move in to.

"Maggie I." Maggie jumped up from the bed along with Daryl as Beth burst through the door. "Oh I'm uhh, I'll just come back later." Beth said, her face was a bright red when she realized what was happening. Beth gave them a smile then shut the door and rushed to her room. Maggie wanted to punch her sister for walking in now of all times. Maggie turned and saw Daryl putting on his shirt she walked over and grabbed the old bandage from the bed and walked over and tossed it in the trash.

"Thanks for the bandage." Daryl said, walking over to the door. Maggie just smiled at him and watched as Daryl took off out of her room. Maggie wrapped her arms around her chest and sat down on her bed thinking about what almost just happened.

...

The next morning all Daryl could think about how was stupid he was. He almost kissed Maggie. The crazy thing was she wanted to kiss him, Daryl thought that is must of been because what happened with Glen and she was just upset and needed a distraction. Daryl sat with the group eating breakfast trying to get Maggie out of his head but every time he failed. Daryl noticed her on the front porch with a pissed of look, her arms were crossed and was looking at Glen. He looked over to Glen who had a guilty look on his face. He looked back at Maggie and saw her going into the house. Daryl decided best not to think into it and turned his attention back to his breakfast. "Um guys." everyone looked up at Glen. "So ... There's walkers in the barn." Daryl looked up at Glen and then figured out that was what Maggie was pissed off at him about.

...

Maggie was walking back to the house after going and picking some of the food from the garden when her eyes saw Glenn on top of the Rv keeping watch, he caught her eyes and jumped up yelling for her. Maggie really didn't want to talk to him but, she knew it would be better sooner than later. "Maggie will you please talk to me?" Glenn asked her following behind like a puppy dog begging for attention. Maggie bit down on her lip and stopped in her tracks turning around and facing Glenn. He looked at her with a needy, asking for forgiveness frown.

"What Glenn? I asked you not to tell them and you did. I begged you not to tell your group but you just couldn't keep your mouth shut." Maggie said raising her voice a bit a him. Glenn looked down to the ground then back up to her face. "You know my fathers going to kick you out now. You really need to learn to not open your mouth. They didn't need to know, no one needed to know about the barn." She said turning to walk away from him. Glenn grabbed her arm, making Maggie turn and look him in the eyes with furry being the only emotion across her face.

"Yeah I did, I wanted to. You know the other day when I was hanging in that well as a toy for that walker I realized that there dangerous. I had forgot about that until I almost became it's dinner." He said pulling the basket of vegetables from her arms and placing it on the ground. "You see those walkers in the barn, if they got out they could kill us and when I thought about it you popped into my mind first. You, Maggie I can't think of what it would be like if one of them got you. I don't want you in danger Maggie, ever." Glenn said taking her hands in his. Maggie won't lie she really was moved by what Glenn had said and for a second there she actually felt like maybe her and Glenn could have something. She bit down on her lip again and looked down to her feet as Glenn let go of her hands. She looked up and saw him heading back to the RV and watching him had made something in her ignite.

"Hey walker bait." She yelled out to him as she took off after him. Glenn turned to look at her and had a disappointed look on his face.

"Don't call me that." He said as she reached him.

"Sorry Glenn." She said smiling at him, she moved in and placed her lips against his. His lips were dry and had the taste of peach when she kissed him. She pulled away from him and looked at his eyes that looked like he was actually kind of shocked by her. She gave him a smile before walking back to her basket and heading back to the house.

...

Daryl watched from afar as Maggie kissed Glenn and felt something in him heat up a bit at the scene. His hands clenched into fist and a scowl replaced his normal leave me the fuck alone look. Daryl had no clue what this feeling was that he felt at the moment but he knew one thing for sure. He didn't like it.
