Daryl was walking in circles trying not to be worried. When Jenna had looked up at him earlier he could have sworn she had smiled at him. What if she didn't hate him? It was possible. He wanted to believe more than anything that she still loved him. He was so confused he didn't even realize the small melody that was coming form one of the trees.

" Just close your eyes, you'll be alright. Come morning light, you an I'll be safe and sound." She sang from the middle branch. Beth never really sang but she was worried and alone. Carl had run off into the woods leaving her alone. That's when she saw him. She had sung that line over and over before he started to look around. She finally got a close up look at him and could feel the smile spread across her face. " Cowboy?" She whispered to herself. She quietly climbed down a branch getting closer. He was still looking around. She smiled. " Looking for me?" She giggled. She was hid behind a branch so he couldn't see her. She giggled and it made him smile. He hadn't smiled in weeks.

" Don't like people hiding on me." He said.

" Oh come on you used to love it." She giggled again she moved out of the tree. He was facing the wrong way and when she dropped behind him he turned quickly.

" How'd you do that?" he asked.

" Practice I guess." She shrugged. He just looked at her. She had a big smile on her face. He had no idea what to say to the girl he hadn't seen in seven years. He wanted to apologize. He wanted to comment on how big she got and he wanted to ask her how she was doing. She could see he didn't know what to say so she did what she wanted to do. Beth smiled up at Daryl and then ran into his arms. She held onto him tightly. He was shocked and hesitated. Then he wrapped his arms around her. He had missed his baby girl so much. " I miss you cowboy." She said.

" I miss you to baby girl." He said.

She pulled away slowly and looked at his sad eyes. " Jenna always told me you had left for a good reason. She said there was an explanation." She said. He sighed. Jenna actually believed in him?

" She said that?" He asked as the stood up and walked back to his tent.

" She used to tell me that you wouldn't leave us for no reason because you loved us." Beth said sitting on a log beside his tent. Daryl was putting his crossbow down and stopped hanging squirrels when he heard this. " Gotta have a bit of faith." Beth said. " That is what she always told me when I asked." Beth looked up at the man who was now listening with all attention.

" Well she was right." he said. He looked around hoping no one would hear what he was going to say. " I did love you two very much. I still do." Daryl said sitting beside Beth looking at the farm-house not the little girl. Her gaze then fixed on him and he could feel it.

" then why?" she asked. Beth had always wanted to know why.

" You remember my brother Merle?" He asked the little girl who was just staring at him.

" That man with the gun?" She asked remembering the man who had held a gun to her head.

" Yes. Well he is… was very dangerous. I was just trying to protect you and your sister." He said looking down at her. She smiled.

" Your not gunna leave again are you?" She asked wrapping her small arms around one of his. She held it tightly as she rested her head on his arm.

" No way in hell baby girl." he said placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head.

" Good." She whispered.


The two only had to sit in quiet for a moment because within seconds dirt was flying up down the road and then a minute later one car was flying down the road speeding toward the house. Daryl stood up quickly. Beth stood next to him. The two walked closer to see Glenn rush out of the car. " MAGGIE!" he yelled and she came running out.

" Any medical supplies we got left put them in the guest bedroom and clear space." Hershel told his daughter. She nodded and ran back inside.

" What's going on?" Beth asked staying behind Daryl.

" I don't know. Stay here." He said once he reached Carol. " Stay with her." he said to Carol and she nodded. Daryl continued to walk closer.

He noticed that Rick was sitting in the car holding someone. He looked sad and then he jumped out with her in his arms. Jenna was passed out with blood dripping all over Rick. Daryl felt his heart skip a beat and then he moved quickly. Shane cut him off by rushing in front and Rick looked at the two.

" Rick hurry!" Hershel's voice carried from the house.

Rick rushed inside with out a word. He left Daryl and Shane speechless. The two then rushed into the house. They were both about to walk into the room when a women, Patricia stopped them. " We need space." She said and Shane nodded. Daryl just sighed.

Daryl realized it was the same room he had been in when he got an arrow through the side.

" Daryl?" He heard Beth's voice ask. " Where is Jenna?" She asked with wide tear-filled eyes.

Daryl felt his heart sink again. " She is just resting for a while. Why don't you and Carl go outside." Shane answered the little girl. Beth nodded giving Daryl a sad look.

The room was quiet and tense for a moment before Rick came out of the room looking more white than ever. Shane was the first one to rush to his side. Daryl stood off the side. Rick looked between the two of them.

" it was supposed to be simple. Just get the two back here." He said to himself not even realizing they were listening. " Then these two guys…Hershel hit them but one let his gun go off."

" Jesus…" Shane swore.

" She gunna pull through?" Daryl finally asked. This earned him a dirty look from Shane and an uncertain one from Rick.

" I… I don't know." He said. All three stood in silence for an hour before Hershel finally came out. " Anyone know the girl's blood type?" He asked in worry. " She has lost a lot of blood, she needs it or else…"

" AB negative." Daryl spoke up.

" Are you sure about that?" Shane questioned him. Hershel was about to ask the same.

" Yes." he said.

" Any one around here a match?" Hershel asked.

" O negative. Universal right?" Daryl asked. Hershel nodded. " Then take mine." He said. Shane shot him a look. Rick just sighed in relief.

" I don't think that is a good idea." Shane said.

" You would rather her die then have my blood in your girlfriend?" Daryl jabbed at him.

" What if that is so?" Shane said not even realizing what he had just said.
" SHANE!" Rick finally yelled. " Back the hell off!" Rick yelled falling to a chair and Daryl and Shane just stared at each other. Hershel grabbed for Daryl's arm and he followed him.

When he walked into the room he was not ready for the horrifying sight. She was pale as a the sheets. Her black bra stood out as many bandages tried to stop the bleeding. The sheets were even soaked through with blood. He shook his head.

Twenty minutes it took for Hershel to pump his blood into her. Her heart rate started to get higher and she stared to breathe normally. She was still passed out. He looked at her scared and tired face and noticed how much her scar stood out now. He swore. Now she would have another one.

Daryl was forced to leave when Hershel said they still needed to get a few fragments out. The three men sat outside the door. They were all sitting. With in ten minutes her agonizing screams filled the room. She had woken up with Hershel digging inside her with tweezers and a scalpel. Shane, Rick and Daryl all stood quickly rushing to the door but was stopped again by the women.
