Somebody To Die For
Chapter 16
Rick gave them a faint smile, as Tomas brought them some ammo and they took it with thanks. "I know, I just hope we have enough supplies to last us until we find something," he said quietly.
Hershel nodded. "We don't have Woodbury on our backs this time though, hopefully it won't be so hard for us."
"That's true." Daryl agreed as they all packed their things aside from the clothes they wore and made sure they had plenty of animal food for the animals when Dylan looked at them.
"You don't have to look after us if you don't wanna." He said as he stroked Ben's soft fur.
"We do want to look after you," Maggie assured him. "You lot might not have been here as long, but your as much a part of the family as anyone else is."
Katy, Emma and Rose helped Penny and Sophia pack their things. Peter and Dylan helped Eliza and Louis, while Sam helped Carl and Duane get all the animals together.
Bailey packed up all of the food that they had into a rucksack and placed it on the bed as she made sure Aoife was warm enough but not hot and smiled as she saw Axel and Oscar come in with some supplies.
"We're coming with ya'll."
"That's very kind of you two," Bailey said softly, as she added the box to the one that they already had gathered up. "Thank you."
"Don't worry about it, ma'am, we didn't agree with Allen anyway," Oscar said with a smile.
Carol laughed at that as she packed up the last of their things and smiled at Axel who smiled back shyly making Sophia smile pleased that her mom was getting some happiness.
"I think we should all turn in for the night." Rick said to all of them and they nodded in understanding.
Daryl nodded as they all put their boxes down by the door so they were ready to leave in the morning. He looked over at Rick. "You and I can get up early and deal with Connor and Dave an' then we can get on the road," he said with a small sigh.
Rick nodded. "Yeah, sounds like a plan."
Daryl nodded and they all headed into their cells to get some sleep, knowing they had to be up early in the morning.
Rick was up and downstairs the next morning, waiting on Daryl, as he looked out at where Connor and Dave were tied up. He thought about all the ways he would like to kill them, but knew he could only choose one.
He sighed heavily as he looked at his lighter when Daryl came in and they both grabbed the two men and dragged them outside.
"You're going to wish, that you never hurt my woman." He told Dave as he chained him to the fence and slashed at her with his bowie knife.
"She deserved it," Dave spat as he glared at him. "I should have killed her when I had the chance, but I was having far too much fun to do that."
"Fucking bastard," Daryl snarled as he kicked Dave in the crotch. "Hey, Rick, mind if I borrow that lighter?"
"Not at all." Rick said and handed it to him.
"I hope you burn in hell." Daryl said as he set him on fire.
Dave screamed as he was set on fire and tried to blow the flames off.
Daryl watched with a strange sort of satisfaction as Dave was burned alive in front of him, the horrible smell of burning flesh filling the air. "Trash," he said as he spat at his body.
Rick turned to Connor. "Now it's your turn," he snarled, as he seen a group of walkers swarming around outside the fence.
"YOU SICK BASTARDS!" Connor screamed at them as Rick stabbed him in the cock and in the stomach as he saw a herd of walkers and smiled darkly.
He slashed a trail of blood along the fence to get their attention and the walkers snarled as Rick stabbed him repeatedly, feeling his blood stain his shirt, arms, hands and face as Connor screamed in agony.
"Aint such a man now are yer?" He snarled as he dragged him to where the walkers were.
He dropped him down on the ground breathing heavily, and made his escape back behind the fence where the walkers couldn't get to him.
Daryl and Rick watched as the men who had made their women's lives miserable were slowly killed and looked at each other.
"Shall we hit the road?" Rick asked, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Yeah let's go." Daryl said as they headed into their cell block where they saw the others waiting for them as they all had on their coats and gloves.
"Everyone ready?" Rick asked softly.
Anna nodded as she wrapped Judith up warm. "Yeah, I think so. All the cars are packed and ready," she said quietly.
"We'll find somewhere safe Anna, I promise." He said softly and she nodded as they all headed out of the prison and into their cars as Tyresse and the others looked on sadly.
"On the road again," Merle muttered as they drove away from the prison, back to the old drill, of looking for somewhere safe for them. They pulled out some maps and searched, but there were nothing but small two or three bed-roomed houses within the surrounding area.
"There has to be somewhere that has room for all of us." Bailey said sighing as they drove along the roads and saw Rick pull over as they all got out and saw a large mansion with a lake, a forest behind it and an iron gate around the house.
"This looks promising." Anna said hopeful.
Rick nodded as they got out of the car. "Alright, why don't y'all stay here, Daryl, Merle and I can go and check it out," he said as the men got out of their cars along with their weapons.
They all nodded and watched as the men headed inside the house to see if it was safe when Bailey suddenly felt nausea run through her and she heaved in a bush.
Carol's eyes widened as she looked at the younger woman who was almost like another daughter to her. "Bailey? Are you OK, sweetheart?"
Bailey wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, looking confused. She had barely eaten this morning, so she didn't know why she was feeling sick. "Uh... yeah. Must just have a dodgy stomach this morning."
Carol nodded and gave her a bottle of water which she took gratefully and sat on the front of the car as they saw the others come out to get them.
"It's secure and it has supplies in there, we found a couple in there who opted out." Rick said as everyone brought their bags in.
"How many rooms are there?" Maggie asked curious.
"We got around twenty or so bedrooms, couple of kitchens, a bigger and a smaller one, each of them has a dining area, a library and a study together, a playroom which has a pool table in it and plenty of children's toys, an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, not to mention a back garden almost bigger than a city itself," Rick said with a happy smile.
Oscar let out a whistle. "These people must have been damn millionaires."
"Let's go look around." Hershel said warmly as they all headed inside their new home and looked around the house as they each chose a room.
Daryl and Bailey chose a room and were unpacking their things when once again she felt sick and ran into the bathroom
"Oh god." She moaned vomiting.
Daryl knocked gently on the door. "Bailey?" he asked quietly, as he stepped inside the bathroom. "Are ya OK?"
"I think I have a bug or something." She said splashing water on her face as she leaned into Daryl heavily.
Daryl wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead gently as he helped her back into the bedroom. "Come on, ya can have a lie down now since we got a proper bed," he said as he helped her out of her clothes and under the sheets. "I'll go downstairs and see if I can find some clean water for ya."
She gave him a weak smile as she slumped back against the pillows tiredly. "Thank you."
"Ya don't have to thank me." He said softly, he kissed her forehead gently and headed downstairs where he saw Carol and Patricia unpacking the food in the kitchen.
He got Bailey a glass of cold and water about to head upstairs when Carol looked at him worriedly as she finished unpacking.
"Was Bailey sick again?"
Daryl nodded. "Yeah, she thinks she has a bug or something," he said with a sad smile. "She was sick earlier?"
"Yeah she was sick while you guys checked out the place." Carol explained softly as she saw him nod and he headed upstairs to where Bailey was.
"Here ya go, sweetheart," he said softly as he helped her take a sip of the water before setting the glass down on her bedside table. "How are ya feeling?"
"A little bit better." She said softly as she stroked Aoife's soft dark hair as she slept in her lap while they watched her.
"Ya just get some rest," he said softly, as he gave her hand a tight squeeze. "The both of ya. I'm gonna head downstairs and help the others unpack, but I'll come back with some lunch for ya in a bit, alright?"
"Alright, thank you." She said kissing his forehead as she fell asleep and he pulled a quilt over them.
He smiled down at them softly before leaving.
"This place seems like we hit the jackpot," Rick said with a smile, as he sat down at the kitchen table with Anna and Judith, while Carl and the other kids went to check out the playroom and the pool table.
"I think we sure did this time," Carol said happily. "I'm quite glad we left the prison now."
"Ya telling me, this place is a gold mine." Merle said cheerful as he pulled out bottles of southern comfort and wine.
"We can have that with dinner for later." Beth said pleased.
"We have hot water!" Andrea screamed delighted.
Rick smiled. "There must be a generator running somewhere, we'll need to stock up on fuel to keep it going," he said, feeling a lot happier than he had earlier.
Daryl came in then looking happy but worried as he helped Oscar and Morgan unpack their weapons.
"How's Bailey?" Carol asked worried.
"She's tired, I told her to get some rest along with Aoife," Daryl said softly, as he gave Carol a small smile. "Told her I'd take her some lunch when it's ready, hopefully she's up to eatin' somethin'."
"She's probably just tired." Maggie said softly as they cooked some chicken with rice and shared it out to everyone.
"Well, looks like we finally found home," Merle said with a smile as he looked around his group. "And let's hope no more problems come our way."
"Here, here." They all said and they continued to eat their food while Daryl headed upstairs to be with Bailey and Aoife, when he heard her being sick again.
"Shit," Daryl whispered quietly, as he set the plate down on the bedside table and looked at Aoife. "Don't touch that, sweetheart, it's hot," he said, before he headed back into the bathroom again and sat down beside Bailey who was sweating, as he reached out to flush the toilet.
"I don't feel all that great." She said breathing heavily as he helped her get changed into a pair of shorts and t-shirt before helping her into bed.
"I'm gonna look after ya." He said softly.
She nodded and curled into him, holding his hand tightly as she laid her head against his chest. "I love you," she said softly, as Aoife cuddled into them both.
"I love ya too." He said kissing her gently as he watched her fall asleep in his arms and her breathing evened out as she slept.
He looked down at her and stroked her cheek gently. Her face was pale and her skin was sweaty, but otherwise she seemed to be OK. He heard a small knock on the door and looked up to see Carol and Anna.
"How's she doing?" Anna whispered quietly, so as not to wake her up.
"Not good, she keeps on being sick and she's hot like hell." He told them both as they checked over Bailey and Anna suddenly realised something.
"I know this might sound strange but have you considered she might be pregnant?" She asked gently.
Daryl looked up at Anna and frowned. "Uh... no... She can't be," he said quietly. "Well, I mean she could be, but it's not likely... uh... could she be?"
Carol couldn't help but let out a small laugh at the confused Daryl.
"She most definitely is Daryl but we'll give her a pregnancy test." She assured him as Bailey woke up then looking a bit better.
"Hey guys, what's wrong?" She asked worried.
Daryl looked at her and chewed on his bottom lip for a second. "Alright, we're gonna suggest somethin'," he began, and Bailey looked at Carol and Anna confused. "We want ya to take a pregnancy test," he said, and Bailey's face paled again. "We don't want ya to get upset, and I ain't gonna be upset if it's negative, we just want to check, alright?"
"Alright, that's fine." She said getting up and Anna handed her a pregnancy test which she held tightly in her hands as she went into the bathroom and Daryl went in with her.
She did as the test told her to do and waited a few moments praying, that it would say she was having a baby.
She had never felt her heart beat so fast as she sat and waited for the minute. She set the test down on the bathroom counter so she didn't keep checking it every two seconds. Instead she sat and held Daryl's hand tightly. She could imagine their little boy or girl running around the house, and felt her heart ache at the thought this might only be a false alarm, and she wouldn't get that child. "I think that's been a minute," Daryl said softly, as he looked at her.
"I can't look," she said quietly, she was too nervous, and her hands were shaking. "Will you look?"
Daryl nodded and squeezed her hands tightly as he heard a beeping sound and looked at the pregnancy test as his heart lightened.
It was positive she was having his baby, their baby, his baby.
"It's positive, Bailey." He said softly.
Bailey looked at him, her eyes wide. "It can't... What... Let me see," she said as she looked down at the test and seen the plus sign. "Oh my god, Daryl!"
She burst into tears of joy and happiness then and sobbed into his shirt happily as he cried as well.
"We're going to be parents!"
Daryl cried into her hair and tried to speak, but all that came out was a small squeak. "I love you, I love you," he said as he kissed her forehead, her cheek, her lips, anywhere he could find. "I love you," he sniffled, as he held her tightly. He gently placed a hand on her stomach. "I'm gonna be a daddy, Bailey."
"Daddy Dixon, I'm going to be a mother." She sobbed into his shoulder as they got up and went to tell the others the happy news.
They looked at Carol and Anna with wide smiles on their faces.
"We're having a baby!"
"Oh god!" Anna squeaked happily as she pulled them both into a hug. "Bailey, you have no idea how happy I am for you," she said softly.
"Me too," Carol said as she hugged them. "You're going to be a wonderful mommy and daddy. Congratulations!"
"Thank you, that means a lot to us." Daryl said smiling as they all headed downstairs to tell the others with Bailey holding Aoife.
"We're having a baby." Daryl told everyone in the kitchen.
They all looked at the two of them with shocked faces before they all grinned widely. "Congratulations!" Rick said happily as he got up and hugged them both. "I knew you two were going to have a family together, it was meant to be!"
Merle patted Daryl's back gently and hugged Bailey. "I'm gonna be an uncle," he said happily, feeling tears well up in his own eyes for what was probably the first time in his life.
"Uncle Merle." Daryl said smirking as Bailey was hugged by Hershel, Maggie, Glenn, Beth and Patricia tightly.
"I knew God was watching over you, Bailey." Hershel said warmly.
"Thank you, Uncle Hershel," Bailey said softly, as she sat down at the table with Daryl. "I never thought it would happen," she said, as she began to cry happily again.
Daryl pulled her into him as she fell asleep in his arms, a soft smile on her face.
"I'm so happy for you two," Maggie said softly as she wiped her eyes. "You guys deserve it."
Hershel nodded. "And Dave is out of the way now too."
"We can all relax and be happy now." Andrea said with a soft smile.
"That's true." Anna said smiling as they all ate dinner and talked happily around the table as they all helped clear up the table.
Bailey helped Carol and Beth wash up the plates.
Soon everything was washed up and back in the cupboards, and the kids headed back to the playroom, while the adults all went through to the large sitting room.
"This place is fuckin heaven." Merle said sitting on a sofa with Beth while Daryl and Bailey sat next to them with Rick and Anna sitting on another sofa.
Rick chuckled. "You're telling me. I can't wait to get a hot bath again. I'm sure we could do something with the back garden, plant some vegetables or something?"
Hershel nodded. "That's a good idea; it will keep our supplies up."
"There's a green house out there with a smoke screen house, it will be good for storing our hunts." Daryl said smiling along with Bailey as they touched her stomach.
"I can't believe I'm having a baby." She said softly.
"I told ya we were gonna have a family," Daryl said with a grin as he kissed her softly, and carefully rubbed her stomach. "Baby Dixon."
"Daddy Dixon." She said smiling as they saw Aoife fussing and she placed her down gently as she stood up shakily.
"Mama, dada."
"Daryl, look!" Bailey said happily; as they watched Aoife navigate her way around the living room table, holding on to keep her balance. "She's walking."
"That's my girl," Daryl said proudly. "Next thing ya know she's gonna be holdin' a crossbow and comin' out on hunts with her daddy."
"Not quite yet." Bailey said with a laugh as they watched their daughter walk around the living room and saying hello when she touched her mother's flat stomach.
"Baby?" She asked softly.
"Yes sweetheart, you're going to be a big sister." Daryl said softly.
Aoife smiled happily as she climbed up beside them and looked at Bailey's stomach. "Hi baby," she said softly.
Bailey smiled and stroked her hair gently.
Rick and Anna smiled warmly at the scene as they smiled at Judith who cooed happily at them all as she snuggled further into them.
"She's so tiny." Anna said softly as she touched her soft cheek.
Rick smiled at the two of them, as he reached out to gently stroke Judith's soft tufts of hair. "Little Judy Grimes."
Anna smiled at that and curled into him as they all started to head upstairs to bed as they all said good night.
Everyone had showered or bathed before bed, happy to have some hot water again. They had managed to pry the kids out of the playroom eventually to go to bed too.
Bailey sighed happily as she got under the sheets and saw Daryl come in, his hair damp from his shower and he pulled her into him as his rough but gentle hands cupped her stomach.
"Yer look so beautiful." He said softly kissing her.
"I'm going to get fat, emotional as hell and I'll be horny all the time, meaning I'll want sex with you all the time." She warned him amused.
Daryl smirked as he kissed a trail up her neck, making her shiver. "I hope that's a promise," he chuckled, as he slid her nightgown up and over her head. He kissed her deeply as he laid her back against the bed. His lips moved down over her throat and began sucking on her pulse point, as she moaned quietly. Her hands winding into his hair. She pulled the blankets over them both and took away the towel from Daryl's shower, leaving him naked. She tried to get as close to him as possible, the feeling of skin on skin. He lifted his hands up and cupped her breasts gently, before he began to massage them in his large rough hands, as she pushed herself up into him.
She ran her hands down his back and down his sides before slipping them around his front and taking his hard length into her hand, stroking gently, making him groan above her as he sucked on her neck. He trailed a finger down over her hips, before he slid it into her warm, wet core, making her gasp underneath him, as he began to slide his finger in and out at a torturous slow pace. He smirked as he watched her face contort in pleasure, as she closed her eyes and bit down on her lip. "Open yer eyes, Bailey," he whispered into her ear, as he used his thumb to work on her clit, and she began panting and writhing around underneath him. Daryl kept her pinned in the one place as he sat on her thighs, as his hand worked faster.
She was whimpering as she got closer and closer to her orgasm, before she clamped down around his fingers, choking out his name as she came hard. Daryl didn't slow down his speed, but once she had come down, he quickly slipped his fingers out, before sliding himself into her.
Her body shook, every nerve ending being hit, but her body still sensitive. She felt him grip her hand and stretch it above her head as he pulled out and slowly thrust back into her. "Good?" he asked quietly, as he picked up his speed.
"So good," she panted, her legs wrapping around his back and tightening, locking him in, as her hands rested on his back. Daryl was gentle for a small while before he lost his control and began to pound into her, small grunts escaping from his lips as his hair flopped into his eyes. They were both breathing heavily, the bed rocking underneath them as Daryl increased his speed. Their bodies were coated in sweat as they moved together, trying to bring each other over the edge. Bailey was first, she felt her body tighten up again before she exploded around him for the second time, gasping and moaning his name, as pleasure flooded through her body. Daryl thrust a few more times, before he reached his release and felt himself spill inside her, his teeth clamping down on her neck, as he let out a muffled growl.
"I love ya Bailey so fuckin much." He panted as he pulled her into his lap and they simply held each other with Bailey resting her hands on his hips.
"I love you too, Daryl." She said softly kissing him.
Daryl pulled her into him tightly and simply held her as they watched it rain outside and felt her stroke his hair softly.
"I hope it's a boy." She said softly.
"As long as he or she is healthy, I don't mind," Daryl said as they both drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Bailey jumped out of bed and hurried into the bathroom where she was sick in the toilet and breathed in heavily.
"Morning sickness is a bitch." She said sighing.
She got up and went downstairs to get a drink, where Carol was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, strangely enough being helped by Axel.
Anna was sitting at the table with Rick and Carl, as she fed Judith her morning bottle. "Someone's a greedy little girl, eh?" she asked with a smirk
Judith cooed at her and she laughed as Bailey joined them at the table as she held a cup of lemon tea and smiled at them all.
"Morning guys." She said warmly.
"Morning Bailey, morning Baby Dixon," Rick said with a smile as he ticked Judith's stomach, as the others watched him happily. After the initial incident with Lori abandoning the baby, and after what had happened to Anna, Rick hadn't bonded well with Judith, but he seemed to be getting on much better now.
"Back at you two, daddy and mommy Grimes." Bailey teased as Daryl came down with Aoife and they sat next to her with Aoife walking to where Judith was looking curious.
"Who that?" She asked puzzled.
"That's you Cousin Judith, sweetheart." Daryl said smiling.
"Jude," Aoife said happily, as Anna lowered Judith down so Aoife could see the baby. Bailey smiled before she'd seen Aoife rubbing her mouth, her cheeks were already flushed.
Aoife walked back over to her mother and climbed up on her lap, cuddling into her. "What's the matter, sweetheart?" Bailey asked as she felt Aoife's forehead and cheeks before looking at Daryl. "I think she's teething."
"My mouth hurts." She said softly and Bailey handed her a pacifier, she sucked on it happily and snuggled into Bailey and Daryl happily as they smiled.
"Me love you both." She cooed at them."
"We love you too," Daryl said softly as he kissed her forehead, and rubbed Bailey's stomach. "And your little brother or sister, too."
Aoife smiled at that and went to play with the other children as everyone headed outside to start working in the garden.
"Holy shit, this garden is the size of a damn house!" Merle said stunned.
Hershel laughed at that. "Plenty of space for growing things and for the animals to run around happily," he said as he looked around. "Not to mention the lake too when it's a summers day."
Everyone smiled at that as they all started to work on the garden and plant vegetables with Peter happily helping Hershel plant some tomatoes.
"It's nice out here." Rose said smiling as she stroked Ghost and Charlie.
"It sure is, sweetie," Maggie smiled as she planted some potatoes they had found seeds for in the cupboard, along with Sam, Dylan and Glenn.
"We're going to have enough food to feed an army at this rate," Rick said with a smile, as he helped Carl with some strawberries.
Anna laughed at that as she helped them out and watched Judith as she sat under a umbrella with Aoife and Penny happily.
"Look we found some moles!" Katy said delighted as she pointed at hole in the ground.
Bailey chuckled as she walked over. "Oh wow, they've sure been making a great home for themselves here, huh?"
Everyone laughed at that as they continued to look around and Penny found four wells with water in them, she was pleased.
"I found a well!"
Phillip and Andrea smiled and walked over. Andrea had been a little wary about using the wells since the incident at the farm, but these ones seemed clean. "They must be using the water from the lake," she said happily. "Well done, Penny."
Penny beamed at her and they walked back to where the others were planting crops and they had nearly finished when they saw four horses walking towards them.
"Those are our horses!" Beth cried happily.
"How the hell did they find us?" Hershel asked shocked as he walked over to Nelly. "Hey there girl."
Nelly neighed softly and rubbed her nose against his hand softly as everyone went to greet the horses who looked happily at them.
"There's a stable next to the green house." Bailey said smiling.
"We'll put them in there then," Rick said with a smile as they started to lead the horses to the stable. "What are the other three called?" he asked Hershel.
"Dawson, Holly and Beatrice." Hershel said fondly as they got the horses settled and went inside to wash up.
"The family is back together again," Hershel said with a smile as he got cleaned up in the sink. "This is home."
"It sure is." Rick said smiling as everyone started to help prepare lunch with the kids feeding the animals when Katy found another room.
She went in there and looked around the room to see it was stacked with books, a computer and a laptop that was still on.
"Welcome Guest!"
She pressed a few buttons and sat down, to find there were a few word documents sitting open.
She opened up one and started to read it.
So far five people have been struck down with this new virus in France, England has about ten patients while America has twenty one now inflicted patients.
"Meet me at the CDC immediately, Dr Bloom."
Edward Carter.
Katy frowned as she closed the laptop and took it up to where the others were sitting in the dining room. "Hey, everyone? I found this, it was still on," Katy said as she handed the laptop to Rick who opened it up and read it.
"There were outbreaks of this virus all over the world and they didn't know what happened." He said as everyone looked at it.
"Maybe this house belonged to a scientist?" Milton suggested.
Rick nodded. "We found a couple who had opted out, maybe it was the husband who was working with the CDC," he suggested.
Merle looked around the house. "Would explain how they had the money to buy this place, I guess."
"I found some emails on there along with old newspapers that are from last year, maybe they were going to leave when this happened." Katy said as she tucked a dark curl from her face.
"Can you show us the room?" Anna asked softly and she nodded as they all followed her into the room where they all looked around.
Daryl picked up a pile of papers and flicked through them. Most of them were handwritten notes, and words he didn't have a clue what they meant. "Looks like some sort of research or something."
"I found some books, most of them are on biology and the human body," Carol said as she pulled them off the shelves. "He definitely was a scientist, or a doctor, or something."
"I found a DVD." Bailey said as she showed them a DVD and placed it into the DVD player as they saw two men one of which was Dr Jenner talking to another man urgently.
"We need to warn the public about this, it's been one day since the first one and more are becoming infected without knowing." Dr Jenner said to the man.
There's the bastard who tried to kill us," Daryl said with a small growl as he looked at the screen. "This must have been before all his 'co-workers' opted out."
The other man on the DVD nodded. "We can send out a public broadcast by radio, tell everyone to stay in their homes."
"What do for the moment?" Dr Jenner asked as they hurried into a office where they saw a news reporter speaking urgently.
"This hour the news is grim, we have confirmed reports that Washington and Los Angeles have fallen to the dead. Repeat, Washington and Los Angeles have fallen. If you see the dead run, do NOT try to help them. The only thing that will stop them is a shot to the head."
"I remember this broadcast," Bailey said as she sat on one of the desks. "Yeah, they played it on a loop on the radio, along with emergency instructions to stay indoors or in your car and lock up. It was on every channel, it's all I was able to listen to when I was driving to Uncle Hershel's farm."
"I heard it when I was driving to my parent's house." Anna said as she held Rick's hand tightly along with Judith.
"Hospitals are filling up with people that the virus is taking; so far there is no cure for the virus. If you are bitten you will die. Refugee centres are being set up in all major cities, backed up by the National Guard. We have reports from all over the world that the dead are raising. Stay inside and wait for further instructions."
Merle snorted as the DVD cut off. "Fat lotta good the refugee centres did, they waited until they were full and then bombed the goddamn places."
"Do you think he's still alive somewhere?" Bailey asked. "This Dr Edward Carter? Maybe we could find him, see what's going on."
"We don't know if he's dead or gone batshit crazy though." Daryl said and she sighed knowing he was right as they all headed outside.
"How are ya and the lili un?" He asked her tenderly.
She smiled as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "We're good," she said softly, cuddling into him. "How's daddy Dixon?"
"I'm alright; just glad we've got a place that's safe and secure." He said holding her close as they watched Aoife come over and they cuddled her as well.
"Hello sweetie, are you ok?" She asked hugging her daughter.
"Yes mama," Aoife nodded as she held onto her teddy bear tightly.
"How's your mouth, sweetheart?" Bailey asked softly; as she crouched down to stroke her cheek gently.
"Much better." Aoife said smiling as it started to rain.
