AN: So after reading the reviews on last chapter, I decided to change everything that I had already written for this one (it was like half way done). Plus, it wasn't just y'all, I had a much better idea that'll keep the story alive longer while I was getting ready this morning…we had a 90 minute delay (because of snow) (after spring has already begun!) and I was really hoping school would just be called off…but no…stupid school…anyway, my original idea was that Rick, Glenn, and Daryl would be the ones on the boat and Mason somehow got killed off…blah, blah, blah and Lily was all depressed. But, I also realized that being useless and depressed isn't really something Lily would do. She's a doer, so I think y'all will like this way much more. And, Dawn1999, about Merle and Rose (Lily's cousin) (Try to remember they're both flower names) I was trying to hint at the fact that they're kinda together…but not really. As of this point in the story they're at best, friends with benefits. And, Carol is dead in my story. Here it is:

The three men carefully made their way off the boat, loaded down with different bags. She began to panic once she saw their faces.

"Where's-" she started but was abruptly cut off.

"Lil, listen-"

"No! You're not allowed to call me that!" she shouted at Rick.

"Easy. Try and be calm," Glenn said, making the fatal mistake of telling an angry, hormonal, pregnant woman to be calm.

"Be calm?" she repeated angrily. "No! What the hell is wrong with you!? You're going to tell me to be calm when you step off of my brother's fucking boat without him, or the man I love, but with some random stranger and tell me to fucking be calm?" she shouted at the younger man. He genuinely looked scared of her. She looked as if she tried, she could rip his head off. "Where are they?" she turned and looked at Rick.

"Lily…" he tried to stay calm. "They…well…they're…um…we're not really sure."

"How the fuck can't you be sure!? What the hell!?"

"They told us to go, and that they'd cover us, as long as we got this stuff back to you. Then, the walkers started closing in."

"And you left them out there!?" she was in a hysterical fit of rage and sadness. "Both of them have saved your sorry asses more times than any of us can count. Hell, if it weren't for them, we'd all be dead a thousand times over! Maggie, Carl, Judith, all of them. Gone. If we didn't have Daryl and Mason! But no, you sorry pricks left them behind to save yourselves!"

"Whut's goin' on out here?" Merle asked as he made his way onto the sandy beach. By the looks of it, Lily's rage had woke him up.

"What's going on? I'll tell ya what's going on. These selfish bastards left your brother and my brother behind."

"Yew left ma baby brother behind?" Merle looked at Rick just as Lily had.

"He told us he'd cover us," Rick said defensively.

"Don't give me none a' that shit," Merle said shaking his head.

"Maybe you are just like Shane," Lily said with more venom than any of them had ever heard from her. Rick looked at her dumbfounded by her outburst and her lack of control over her anger. "The hell with y'all. Just tell me where they are so I can go get them!"

I didn't really hit Rick until just then. Lily and Daryl were one in the same. When Merle got left behind in Atlanta, Daryl had said almost the exact same phrase to him. The crazy thing was that Lily wasn't even around until long after that.

"Yew real good at leavin' people behin', ain't ya, Rick?" Merle sneered. By this time most everyone had made their way outside to see what all of the commotion was about.

"Rio," Rick said. "They're in Rio."

"You should really fucking clean out your ears! I fucking told you not to go Brazil, let alone Rio. That city is fucking huge. Just how stupid are you?" she narrowed her eyes at him. "Am I the only one who can do shit right around here?" she stormed down the beach to her and Daryl's house. She ran up the steps two at a time and stormed into their bedroom. She rummaged through her closet to find form fitting clothes. Once she found them, she quickly shed Daryl's shirt, which she was wearing.

"Imma-" a voice entered her ears. They froze when they saw the shirtless blonde.

"I'm too pissed to be shy right now, spit it out."

"You're-"

"Yes, I'm pregnant. You knew this. Get to the point Dixon."

"Yew can't go out there. Ma baby brother'd kill me."

"Try and stop me," she warned as she changed pants too.

"Fine. Imma go wit ya."

"Just stay here and keep Rose safe," she said dismissively. "The city's like Atlanta times ten."

"No. he's ma baby brother. An' done risked he ass fer me. So it's ma turn."

Lily sighed. "Be on the boat in ten. A second late, I'm leaving without you."

Merle nodded and left the room. Lily walked down the hall and saw Emily was still asleep. She walked into the girl's room quietly and lightly shook her awake.

"Lily? Are you okay?" the girl asked sleepily.

"I'm fine. But, listen, I have to leave but I'll be back soon. Can you stay with Rose at the main house for a little while?"

"Sure. Can I go back to sleep here, though?" Emily asked, since she was comfortable and liked her new bed.

"Of course. I love you."

"I love you too," she smiled as Lily kissed her head one last time before bolting out the door. She retrieved her bow, and Daryl's back up cross bow-the one he used to use all of the time, and ran to the dock. Rose was standing, watching Merle board the sail boat.

'What happened?' Rose asked in sign language.

'Rick can tell you,' Lily replied. 'Watch Emily…please.'

'Sure.'

The cousins hugged, and the blonde ran to the boat and began sailing off into the early morning sun rise. Lily stirred the boat in the right direction and Merle sat in a chair next to her.

"Yew migh' be a Dixon after all," Merle commented. "Wit' that temper a yers."

Lily scoffed. "Daryl's temper's not bad," she replied, looking at him confused. Luckily she'd had a bit of time to cool off.

"Do ya really kno' ma lil' brother? He got the wors' temper of all a us."

"I haven't seen it."

Merle just laughed. So that's how those two ended up together. Neither of them had really seen the other's temper. And, Lily's was right up there with Daryl's. Never in all of his life had Merle seen anyone so pissed off before, save Daryl. But, typically Daryl's wasn't for a good reason.

"Yew will. When he sees me an' the rest a the group let ya leave."

"What do you mean?" she asked. Merle pointed to her very obvious baby bump. It seemed to have grown tremendously in the past few days. Before she only had a small bump, but now it was painfully clear that she was pregnant. "And he's gonna get an earful when I see him," she replied. "He put this child at risk by doing what he did."

"If ma brother had ta be a pussy and love somebody, guess it's better yew than any a the other bitches," Merle said, kind of off topic. Which, made Lily stop dead, and freeze.

"Did you just pay me a compliment?" she asked with a gasp.

"No," he said.

"Aw! How sweet!" she cooed.

"Don' git used ta it."

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me," she grinned playfully. "And, your brother wasn't being a pussy for falling in love," Merle scoffed. "You'll understand one day, when you truly grow up and fall in love."

This sent Merle into a fit of laughter. He couldn't stop for the life of him. Him? In love? How ridiculous! At least Lily was useful for a good laugh.

"You never know," she smiled knowingly. One day, Merle would realize what she was talking about, and she wondered if it'd be with a certain red-headed cousin of hers. They kept sailing until land was visible. Lily docked the boat in one of Brazil's marinas. The two grabbed their weapons and prepared to search the large city.

AN: There is actually an island off the coast of Brazil. Look at me, I'm good! Lol. Does anybody know if there's hurricanes in the south America area for sure? I've never actually been there and I for got to look it up, so PM me or leave it as a review. Thanks! SO sorry for the mistake. I think some how I posted a chapter to another story...it was my mistake and I've had this done since Monday...so sorry, again.
