Carol walked into the coffee shop, and spotted the brunette waving at her. She smiled and walked over to the table. "I'm sorry I called you on such short notice." Maggie apolagized. Carol was a little surprised when Maggie called her and asked if she could meet her at the coffee shop. She agreed of course. She liked Maggie, and was growing closer to her thanks to Lori.

"Well I was a little surprised you called to be honest." Carol admitted. "So what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

"I know this is really short notice, and I know my wedding is in two weeks, but I wanted to know if you'd be one of my bridesmaids. I already asked Beth, Lori and Andrea. They agreed. I just need one more. So, will you be my final bridesmaid?" Maggie asked, a hopeful smile on her face.

"Of course I will Maggie." Carol smiled. Of course she would be a part of Maggie's wedding. It was an honor.

"Oh thank you Carol!" Maggie breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so worried." She admitted. "Now, for the next question. Are you free tonight? We're all getting together to plan the wedding. The decorations, the cake, the dresses. And the guys are getting together to plan their suits, the DJ for the dance afterwards, and the drinks. Me and Glenn will be planning the rest tomorrow."

"Yeah I'm free. So who is Glenn planning on asking?" Carol asked. She wondered if Daryl would be part of the wedding, seeing as he was friends with Glenn.

"Rick and Shane were his frist choices. I believe he is going to ask Daryl." Maggie grinned. "And then he is going to ask T-Dog. I don't think you've ever met T. He's a real great guy." Maggie nodded. "I'm sure you'll get along great with him."

"Daryl in a suit?" Carol chuckled. "I can't wait to see that."

"Me neither." Maggie laughed. "So, we're meeting at my dads farm. Glenn is meeting at Rick's house. At 6:00 if thats alright?"

"It's fine. I'll drop Sophia off at their house so she can hang out with Carl." Carol smiled. She glanced at her watch. "Oh, it's 4:30! I better get home so I can make supper in time."

"Yeah I better get home too. Thanks for coming Carol. I'll see you in a few hours." Maggie gave Carol a hug before they both parted ways.

Reaching into the drawer, Carol pulled out the cutting board. She decided to make pizza for supper tonight. She had to chop up the pineapple and the ham. She grabbed the knife and started to chop the ham, when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist. "Go away, I have to make supper." Carol smiled.

"Ya got plenty of time to make supper." Daryl said quietly.

"We have to leave before 6:00, you know that." Carol placed the ham pieces in a bowl and moved onto the pineapple. "If we want to make it on time. You have to plan out your suits, remember." She winked.

"Don't wanna wear no damn suit. Ain't my style." Daryl muttered.

"It is this time." She giggled.

"Ah shut up." Daryl growled.

"Yeah yeah." Carol smiled. "Now leave me alone so I can make supper. Or else you'll be going without tonight."

"Ya can still make supper with me here." Daryl started to kiss her neck.

"Can't make supper with you distracting me like that." Carol sighed as he continued to kiss her neck.

"Alright, I'll leave ya alone, for now." Daryl smirked, and walked away.

Carol chuckled, and shook her head. Now, back to the pizza.

"Yay! Pizza!" Sophia exlaimed as she entered the kitchen.

"We have to eat fast, we have to leave in half an hour." Carol reminded them. "Sophia I'm going to drop you off at Lori's house along with Daryl, and then I'm going to go to Hershel's farm. I'll pick you both up afterwards."

"Yeah yeah." Sophia and Daryl said at the same time.

"Good. Now eat." Carol grabbed a piece and placed it on her plate.

"Hey mom?" Sophia looked up, taking a bite of her pizza.

"Hm?" Carol asked.

"What's that on your neck?" Carol's face flushed red. Daryl. She glared over at him. He was trying so hard not to laugh.

"Would you excuse us for a minute Soph?" Carol stood up, grabbed Daryl's arm, and practically dragged him into the other room. Before yelling at him, she looked in the mirror. Sure enough, there it was, a little red mark on her neck, right where he kissed her. "What the hell were you thinking?!" She hit Daryl hard on the shoulder.

Daryl was too busy laughing to even achknowledge her anger. He was basically crying.

"It's not funny asshole!" Carol smacked him again.

"I'm sorry but it is fuckin' hilarious!" Daryl had to lean against the couch.

"You're going to pay later, trust me." Carol hit him one more time and stormed back into the kitchen. She could still hear Daryl laughing in the living room.

"Looks like Carol got a little action before she came here." Lori grinned as Carol entered the house.

"Oh, wait a go Carol." Maggie winked.

"Shut up you guys." Carol muttered, throwing her purse on the couch. "I was making supper and he thought it would be a good idea to come up behind me." Carol sighed. "Sophia was the one who pointed it out. I will be killing Daryl later."

"Aw, cute." Lori smiled. "Anyway, let's get started on the decorations."

"Oh come on ref what the hell was that?!" Glenn shouted at the television.

"Ya dumb fuck! Was the other teams fault!" Daryl shouted. All five of them were watching the football game. They had a cooler filled with cans of beer. So far, their team was losing big time.

"This game is rigged." Rick sat back down on the couch. "They always are." He finished off his second can of beer, and moved on to the third.

"I see you got a lot done for the wedding." Maggie crossed her arms. All the girls were standing behind the couch. They had been there for a while. "Dang it Glenn the wedding is in two weeks we need to plan it as soon as possible." She smacked him on the back of the head.

"How many beers have you had tonight Shane?" Andrea glared at Shane.

"Sophia, get down here! We're leaving!" Carol called out, and then moved her gaze to Daryl. "You're in trouble."

"It ain't like we did a crime here. Watchin' the game is American! Football and beer is like what bein' a guy is about!" Daryl argued. All the guys agreed with him.

"Well I think a wedding is more important than your little football game." Maggie glared at Glenn.

"Mom, can I sleepover at a friends house?" Sophia asked as she came running down the stairs.

Carol was going to say no, but then she realized, if Sophia was gone, she could beat on Daryl without having to worry about Sophia. Perfect. "Sure you can sweety, where does she live?"

"Well... She lives in the country." Sophia admitted. Right now Carol didn't care.

"Alright. We'll see you later. Come on Daryl." Carol walked out the front door, Sophia following behind her. They got in Daryl's truck and waited for him to come outside. Finally, he made his way outside. She could tell he was drunk. Not as drunk as she got, but he was still drunk. He got in the truck. "Okay Sophia, tell me where we're going." Sophia nodded, and started telling her mother where to go.

"How many beers did you have Daryl?" Carol asked as they backed out of Sophia's friend's driveway.

"Only like... One or two..." Carol glared at him. "Or nine or ten." Daryl muttered. "The game stressed me out, alright?"

"That doesn't matter Daryl." Carol sighed.

"So what, you're allowed to drink whenever the fuck you want but I ain't allowed to? That's real fuckin' fair Carol." Daryl growled.

"That's not what I'm saying." Carol gripped the steering wheel tighter. "You can drink when you want to. It's just you were supposed to be planning with Glenn. Not watching the game and drinking beer."

"Not like it's my weddin'. 'Sides Glenn was the ony who put the game on." Daryl glared over at her.

"Whatever." Carol sighed. She wasn't in the mood to argue with him right now.

"Why the fuck are ya drivin' slower?" Daryl asked.

"I'm not..." Carol was driving the same speed wasn't she? She looked at the speed guage and noticed it was slowly going down. Then she looked at the gas. It was empty. "Did you not fill up the truck yesterday?!" She asked as the truck came to a stop. They were stopped in the middle of no where. She didn't bring her cell phone. Hopefully Daryl brought his.

"I was busy yesterday alright? Thought it would be good for a few days." Daryl sighed. "Don't got any extra."

"Well then phone the damn tow truck!" Carol exclaimed.

"Fine." Daryl pulled out his cell phone. He dialled the number. Meanwhile, Carol rested her head on the steering wheel, trying to stay calm. "Fuckin' assholes." Daryl muttered, putting his phone in his pocket. "Said it will be a while before they can get to us. Apparently there was an accident in town by the bar."

"Oh great. Well I can't stay in here." Carol quickly got out of the truck. It was a cool night, and she had no jacket.

"Can always sit in the back of the truck. Got a couple blankets just in case." He made his way around the back of the truck. He grabbed a blanket and laid it out flat. "C'mon." He motioned for her to get in the back. She sighed and sat beside him. "Ya know I ain't mad at ya... Right?" He was starting to feel bad about yelling at her earlier.

"I know. I'm not made at you either." Carol gave him a small smile. "But you're still introuble with me." She pointed to the mark on her neck.

"Ya know ya loved it." Daryl smirked. "Don't pretend ya didn't."

"Hush." Carol smiled. "You don't need to know that."

"I already know that." Daryl grinned.

"You're such an idiot." Carol pulled him close to her.

"And ya love that too." Daryl wrapped his arms around her waist.

"You're right, I do." Carol closed the gap. She could never stay mad at him. She smiled against his lips as he laid back, pulling her ontop of him. They still had a while until the tow truck came. What better way to pass the time? She broke the kiss and looked down at him. "God, we really are like teenagers aren't we?"

"I'm perfect fine with that." Daryl smiled.

"Maybe we should wait..." Carol suggested.

"Why?" Daryl asked.

"Well, Sophia isn't going to be home. We'll actually have some privacy... Without having to worry about her coming down the stairs..." Carol bit her lower lip.

Daryl smirked slightly. "Ya smart, ya know that?"

"I know." Carol smiled. "I know."
