My Girl's Feelin' Sick
My girl hasn't been feelin' too good for the past few days, she could barely eat or sleep. I was really concerned for Timi, I didn't want her catchin' anythin'. I hoped it was nothin' and she was just pushin' herself to hard. She said that she thought it was because of the supply run we did a couple of days ago. Lost that kid Zach who was Beth's boyfriend. I felt bad for Beth. I hated losin' people, but I couldn't save everyone.
I came out of my girl's and my cell after dropin' somethin' off. I headed down stairs and saw Timi comin' towards the steps. She still didn't look so hot and I felt really bad that I couldn't do anyhtin' about it. I grabbed my girl by the waist, stopin' 'er in 'er tracks and kissed 'er forehead.
"Hey," I mumbled.
"Hey," she said back with a slight smile on 'er face.
"Have ya ate yet?"
She avoided lookin' at me and said, "Uhh... No."
"Ya get any sleep last night while I was on watch?"
"A little."
She finally looked up at me and I could see the tiredness in 'er eyes. I couldn't deny that I was extremely worried about 'er. I don't want 'er getting' sick and possibly not bein' able to save 'er.
"Kid, ya haven't eatin' a full meal in three days and haven't got much sleep either," I said.
"I know, I just haven't been feeling good," she said.
"I know, c'mon let's get some breakfast and see if ya can keep it down."
I guided Timi out of the cell block and outside to the courtyard for breakfast. I grabbed the two bowls handed to us from an ex Woodbury resident and we sat on a bench away from the other people.
"Here, eat and no fussin'," I said as I handed 'er a bowl.
Today's breakfast looked like yellow rice and some kind of vegetables from Rick's garden. I watched my girl peer at the food in front of 'er, waitin' for 'er to take a bite. I wasn't goin' to start on mine until I knew she was finally eatin' somethin'. Timi finally took a bite of 'er food and I waited until she finished it completely.
"Good girl, hopefully you'll feel better after this," I said and started diggin' into my own food.
After about five minutes of eatin' in silence, I was almost finished with my food, but my girl was still havin' trouble. I felt 'er lean 'er head on my shoulder and she picked at 'er food. I smiled down at 'er softly and she looked even more like a kid than usual.
"Take your time, don't wantcha to blow chunks," I said.
She just nodded slowly and continued to lean on me. I had to go meet up with Rick to talk to him about somethin', but I hated that I had to leave 'er alone. I looked down at 'er and said, "Hey, I hate to leave ya sweetheart, but I have to help Rick with somethin'."
"Its fine, I'll be okay," she said, lookin' up at me with 'er sad brown eyes.
"Alright, just try to finish you're food and go get some sleep, okay?"
"Okay."
I nodded, kissed Timi's forehead, and went off to find Rick. I found Rick in his garden and he greeted me with a tight nod. I reciprocated the action and Rick said, "What's up Daryl? You look a little down."
"Just worried about Timi," I said.
"Why? What's wrong with her?"
"I don't know, but she ain't feelin' to well. I'm hopin' it ain't somethin' serious."
"Yeah, I hope not either. Timi's a sweet girl. I'm sure she'll be fine though. She's tough."
"Yeah, I know."
"You sure you want to work on this today?"
"Yeah, I told 'er to get some rest. I'll go see how she's doin' later."
"All right. Let's get started."
Rick told me what we were goin' to be doin'. He wanted to make a little spot for the new stuff we got for the garden. I was helping him out and making sure the plots were even enough. As I was workin' on the spot, I couldn't shake the feelin' that somethin' was wrong. I tried to shake the feelin', thinkin' that I was makin' a big deal out of it. I'm sure Timi is just fine and I'll go check on 'er when I'm done
I continued workin out in the hot sun, wipin' away the sweat that was formin' on my brow. I happened to look up and saw Beth carryin' Judith at a quick pace. She was makin' 'er way towards me and I could tell by the look on 'er face that somethin' was wrong.
"What's wrong?" I asked, ready to make a run towards the prison if it's what I thought the news was about.
"Timi passed out," Beth said to me.
I took off runnin' as soon as the last word left 'er mouth. I knew I shouldn't have left Timi alone this mornin', and I hated myself for it. I flew past the people hangin' around outside and tried hard not run into 'em. I got into our cell block and went up the stairs as quick as possible.
I burst through the curtain to our cell and breathed heavily, tryin' to catch my breath. Hershel was sittin' on the bottom bunk next to my girlfriend who was layin' down. I quickly went by 'er side and grabbed 'er hand.
"Ya okay?" I asked, lookin' up and down 'er body.
"Yeah, I'm okay," she said.
"I'll leave you two alone, to talk," Hershel said as he hobbled out of our room.
"What's wrong with ya?" I asked as I took over where Hershel was sittin' by 'er hip.
"Nothing's wrong, I'm pregnant Daryl," she said to me.
I couldn't believe the words that just came out of 'er mouth. Was she really havin' a baby, my baby... I could feel my eyes grow wide as I processed the information and I stuttered out, "Pr… preg… pregnant."
She nodded 'er head and bit 'er bottom lip probably to hide 'er smile at my reaction.
"Wow, I'ma be a daddy," I said with a slight smile.
I couldn't believe I was actually gonna be a daddy. I just hope I'ma better father than my dad was.
"Yeah," she said.
I could sense 'er fear of havin' the baby. I knew what happened to Lori was tough on all of us, but I wasn't gonna let that happen to Timi. I was gonna keep 'er safe no matter what, I wasn't gonna lose 'er or the baby. I put a hand on my girl's stomach and said, "I ain't gonna let aythin' happen to ya, ya and the baby will be just fine."
She nodded 'er head and I leaned in, kissin' Timi softly.
"Go to sleep kid, ya need to rest for our baby," I said once I pulled away from our kiss.
"Okay, I love you Daryl," she said to me.
"Love ya too," I said and kissed 'er cheek.
She soon drifted off to sleep and I watched 'er finally get some much needed rest. I put my hand softly on 'er stomach once again and promised myself to keep 'er and this baby safe. I wanted to be a father so bad, and I wasn't gonna let anythin' stand in my way.
