Somebody To Die For

Chapter 31


Bailey nodded. "They need time to rest," She said softly, as she sat down and watched Dean and Aoife play.

"I got a niece and a nephew," Beth said, still with a wide smile on her face.

"I got two more grandchildren." Hershel said proudly as he sat down and everyone smiled happily as Anna sat down with James playing with the other children.

"Do you think the crops are ready for harvest?" Peter asked hopeful.

"Maybe," Rick said with a small smile. "We could go out in the morning and see what they're like. Depending on whether they are or not, we'll harvest them."

"We could have a big dinner tomorrow night," Anna said happily as she rubbed her stomach, her small bump forming.

"We could make some cakes and scones." Patricia said smiling along with Carol as Bailey smiled lovingly at her family.

"I love you Aunty Bailey." Judith said hugging her tightly.

"Aww, I love you too, Judith, sweetheart," Bailey said with a smile as she hugged her back.

"Lil Asskicker," Daryl grinned as he ruffled Judith's hair. "Even though ya ain't so little now."

"I love you too, Uncle Daryl." Judith said hugging him tightly and he hugged her back just as tightly praying that they would have a baby girl.

"You know its Bailey's birthday after tomorrow?" Beth asked quietly.

Daryl shook his head. "Uh no... I didn't," he admitted quietly. "Ain't really been keeping track of the date and stuff with everythin' that's gone on."

"Why don't you take her to the lake house and spend time with her pa?" Dean suggested he looked strikingly like Daryl with the thick, long dark brown hair, the piercing blue eyes and the snarl on his lips when he got angry but was a little angel.

"That sounds lovely." Aoife said softly.

"That's a good idea, kids," he said softly, as he smiled at the two of them. "Ya wanna help me decorate the place for her?" he asked.

"Of course we will daddy." Aoife said smiling and everyone started to plan the birthday party and surprise, food and gifts.

"Bailey's like an aunty." Dylan said smiling.

Daryl smiled down at him. "She loves ya. She loves all ya kids," he said softly, before he looked at Will. "Ya mind watching them for a bit?" he asked quietly. "I'm gonna go to town, see if I can find some presents for Bailey."

"Not at all, you and Bailey could do with a break." Will assured him and he nodded in thanks as he pulled on his jacket and headed outside to get in his truck.

He got in and drove off.


Thankfully, the drive had been smooth this time, and he hadn't ended up in a ditch half frozen to death like the last time. He parked his bike up outside the department store, and looked around, wondering what he could get Bailey for her birthday.

He soon found a store with photo albums, frames and cameras; he smiled and grabbed everything when he saw a beautiful necklace in a jewellery store.

He had found the perfect gifts.

He smiled to himself as he stuffed everything into his bag, and was about to head out when he seen a giant teddy with 'I love you' on the front. He smirked to himself, he wasn't going to look very badass with a teddy bear, but he didn't care as he picked it up and headed back to the bike.

He got on and made sure the bags were secure before driving back to the house and Tomas, Morgan and Merle opened them so he could get in.

"What did ya get mama, pa?" Dean asked happily.

Daryl smiled at them as he let them see into his bags. "Got her some photo frames and a camera, a teddy bear, and this necklace," he said, as he pulled out the shining diamond necklace.

"Oh we can put photos in the frames, take photos of mama and you could put the necklace around her like in Titanic when Jack and Rose are in the car." Rose said happily as everyone stared in shock.

"Um... Sis ya do know they fucked right?" Dylan asked his younger sister seriously.

Rose smirked at him. "Yeah, so...?" she asked mischievously as Will only chuckled slightly and shook his head at her.

"Bailey will love it, Daryl." Patricia assured him and he smiled at her as he went to wrap up the gifts as did the others.

Aoife smiled at Beth. "Aunt Beth, will you and Aunt Carol come help me pick some flowers for mommy to put in the lake-house?" she asked.

"Of course we will, sweetie." Carol said smiling at her as they went outside and got some wildflowers for Bailey and placed them in the lake house.

They headed back to the house as Bath felt her waters break.

"Carol," Beth gasped as she grasped her hand, "I think the baby's coming," she said quickly as she held her stomach.

"Alright, come on, let's get you inside," Carol said softly as she helped her into the house and onto the sofa. "Hershel! Your other grandson or granddaughter wants to come out now!"

Hershel hurried over along with Bailey and Merle who grabbed her hand as she felt a contraction and cried out in pain, Bailey dabbed her forehead with a wet flannel.

"Its alright sweetheart, we're gonna have a beautiful baby." Merle assured her.

Beth nodded and took a deep breath as Hershel helped her get comfortable. "Alright, sweetheart, easy now," Hershel said softly. "Just focus on your breathing, and let that baby come out when he or she is ready."

Beth gave them all a soft smile as she steadied out her breathing as she held Bailey, Carol and Merle's hands when she started to push.

"Alright Beth one more push." Carol said warmly.

Beth nodded and gritted her teeth together as she pushed, and Carol cried out with joy when she had a baby in her arms. But Beth felt the need to push again and a confused looking Merle held her hand, before he ended up with another baby.

"Whoah shit!" Merle cried out happily. "Twins! I got twins! Y'all see that?!"

"We see that Merle alright." Daryl said smiling as Bailey helped up Beth sit up and helped her drink a glass of water.

"You have a boy and a girl!" Hershel called out happily.

"What are ya gonna call them?" Daryl asked smiling.

"Her name is Annette Lara Carol Maggie Bailey Dixon," Beth smiled as she took her girl in her arms, while Merle held the boy.

"And this is Damien Hershel Dylan Daryl Dixon," Merle smiled proudly at his son.

"Oh they're so beautiful, Beth." Bailey said hugging them as did Maggie who had come down with Glenn as Carol hugged them.

Anna smiled at them all as Carl and Rick hugged her along with James and Judith.

"Congrats. Bro," Daryl said softly as he patted Merle on the back. "Ya got two babies to look after now," he smirked.

"Thanks Daryl, I love these lili uns and their mama." Merle said holding his son tightly.

Beth smiled up at him as she stroked Annette's hair. "We love you too," she said softly.

Carol watched them all with a grin on her face before looking at Hershel. "Two sets of twins! Do twins run in your family?"

Hershel nodded as he fussed over his new grandchildren. "My mother and her sister were twins," he said happily.

Bailey smiled happily as she fussed over her new nephew and niece, Annette had Beth's light blonde curls while Damien had Merle's mop of dirty blonde hair and was cuddled into him tightly.

"They're so beautiful." She said smiling and felt Daryl hold her tightly as Dean, Aoife and Rayland came over.

"Are they our new cousins, mama and pa?"

"They sure are," Bailey said softly, as the three of them looked at the babies. "That's Annette and Damien," she said, and the kids smiled.

"They're beautiful, Aunt Beth," Aoife said happily.

"Thank you, sweetie." Beth said hugging her tightly and then smiled at Merle happily as she kissed him happily.

"Thank you."

"Thank ya, sweetheart," Merle said softly, as he held her and the children. "Ya gave me a family," he added, and Beth smiled at him before falling asleep against him.

"I'm happy for him," Daryl said with a smile.

"I am too; he and Beth deserve to be happy." Bailey said holding his hand tightly and he held her tightly as Maggie and Glenn came over with the twins, Katy and Emma by their side.

"Mom said we can look after the babies." Emma said smiling.

"You're going to be two wonderful big sisters," Bailey said softly as she hugged them both and smiled down at the twins. "And big cousins to the new twins."

"Thank you, Aunt Bailey." She said hugging her as they went over to see Merle, Beth and Hershel and the additions.

"I love you and this family." Bailey said hugging Daryl.

Daryl smiled back at her, and they picked up the kids, and they left the room to give Beth and the twins some time to rest.


Anna sat in the rocking chair as she held James in her arms and smiled down at her son lovingly as he snuggled into her.

"I love you all."

"Mama," he said softly as he smiled up at her and rest his hand on her cheek.

"That's right, baby boy," she said as she kissed his forehead. "You're going to be a big brother soon too."

James touched her stomach and smiled softly as he fell asleep and she placed him in the crib so he could sleep.

"Mommy and daddy love you."

"Love you mama," James cooed as he drifted off.

Anna smiled at him as she closed the door and went back down to help Carol in the kitchen.

"Everything alright, Carol?" She asked warmly and Carol smiled happily at her as they cooked some rice and chicken.

"Everything's fine, honey." Carol said smiling.

Anna smiled. "I'm glad," she said as she cooked off the vegetables they had harvested. "Looks like we got quite the produce from the garden."

Carol nodded. "Should keep us going months, Hershel's already talking about what he'll plant next."

"It'll be like a feast in here." Anna laughed as they finished cutting up the food and placed it in the pot so it could cook.

Carl came over then with Sophia; they were both holding hands tightly.

"Axel, Carol we were wondering with your permission would you let me see your daughter?" He asked nervously.

Carol looked at Axel and smiled before smiling at Rick. "Of course you can, Carl," she said softly. "I see how happy you make my daughter."

"Thank you momma," Sophia smiled, as she and Carl both hugged them.

Anna smiled happily at them as she hugged them all and Carl hugged her tightly as they all went to sit in the living room.

"I'm happy for you two." She said softly.

"Thanks mom," Carl smiled as they all sat back beside the fire that Rick had put on and relaxed, Carl holding Sophia's hand tightly.

Bailey smiled at Daryl as they held hands while they watched Dean, Aoife and Rayland play with the other children.

"I love ya." Daryl said holding her close.

She smiled as she laid her head against his shoulder, watching Rayland make a house out of building blocks, and smiling proudly at his work.

"I love you too, Daryl." She said holding his hand tightly as she slowly fell asleep.

Daryl smiled and kissed her forehead gently before he picked her up, and the kids stood up too. "We're gonna call it a night, guys," he said softly.

Everyone gave them a small wave. "Goodnight."


"The next morning Daryl woke up and made sure all of the gifts were wrapped and ready as the kids hurried in and they all smiled happily.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!"

Bailey stirred slightly and shifted in her sleep before her eyes cracked open, and she was met with three very excited kids climbing on the bed singing Happy Birthday.

She looked at them confused and then at Daryl who was smirking. "Huh? How did... what?"

"We made some things for ya birthday, happy birthday sweetheart." He said kissing her lovingly as the kids showed her their presents.

"Happy birthday mama." Dean said hugging her.

"Thank you, little man," Bailey said as she hugged him back tightly, along with Aoife and Rayland. "I didn't even realize what date it was," she laughed quietly.

"Beth reminded me to be honest." Daryl said hugging her as the others came in with presents and Bailey started to open them.

"This one is from us honey." Patricia said warmly.

Bailey gasped as she opened the present from Patricia and Will. She had made a leather jacket, which had holders for all her weapons, and an inside that could be removed depending on how hot or cold it was. "Oh guys, I love it," she said as she hugged them both tightly. "You guys shouldn't have gone to any trouble."

"Nonsense, after everything you've done for us it's the least we can do." Will said hugging her tightly as she opened the present from Maggie and Glenn, she almost cried.

It was a photo of her, Maggie and Beth, Anna and Carol, Patricia with their children and the men beside them.

"Thank you," she said as she grinned at Maggie and Glenn.

Andrea and Phillip smiled as they handed her a box and Bailey opened it, grinning when she found shampoos, conditioners and soaps, along with lotions and oils. "Oh god guys, this is like a box of heaven," she said as she hugged them both. "Thank you so much."

Rick smiled as he handed her a box. "That's from me," he said as Bailey opened it. She looked at him confused when she seen the box was empty. "Before you ask, I'll explain it," Rick smiled. "It's nothing. No stress, no worries, no troubles for a few days. You just relax and look after yourself, and we'll do all the work."

Bailey hugged him tightly along with Daryl. "Thank you, Rick." She said wiping her eyes with her hand as Carol, Sophia and Axel gave her their present.

She opened it to find beautiful photos and little trinkets along with a jewellery box with little flowers engraved on the box.

"Thank you guys, it's beautiful," she said softly as she hugged them all tightly.

"We got ya this," Merle said softly, as he handed her a t-shirt, with 'World's Best Sister' on the front. Bailey laughed and hugged him tightly. "Thanks Merle."

"Yer welcome sis." He said hugging her along with Beth as Hershel gave her his present along with Anna, Carl and Judith, James and Peter.

She opened it and gasped in shock.

"Oh my god it's beautiful."

She smiled down at the beautiful picture of Aoife, Dean and Rayland in a lovely silver frame.

"Thank you. All of you. Y'all didn't need to do this," she said gratefully.

"We wanted to mama, we love you." Aoife said hugging her as Daryl gave her his present and hoped she liked it.

"This one's from me."

Bailey opened up the box and smiled when she seen a beautiful white teddy bear, and a photo frame, with a picture of the five of them together.

She smiled as she leaned up to kiss him softly. "Thank you, Daryl. Thank you all of you."

"I got ya this as well." He said showing her a beautiful box with little jewels on the box as she opened it and saw a diamond necklace inside.

"Oh Daryl, it's beautiful."

Daryl kissed her cheek gently. "Beautiful for my beautiful girl," he said softly.

Bailey smiled at everyone. "Thanks guys, this is the best birthday I've had in years."

"You're welcome Bailey." Carol said hugging her as they all left to let the family eat in peace.

"Do you like your presents, mama?" Aoife asked as she cuddled into Bailey on the bed.

"I sure do, sweetheart," she said softly. "Thank you."

"You're welcome, mama." Rayland said hugging her tightly as they ate their breakfast and all got ready to shower with Daryl and Bailey sharing.

"My old lady."

She smiled as she opened the box Andrea had given her and took out some of the shower gel, as well as the shampoos and conditioners and got cleaned up.

Daryl washed her hair gently and twirled the dark brown curls around his fingers as he smiled down at her and kissed along her shoulder as they washed.

"Ya so fuckin' beautiful." He said softly.

She laughed as she lathered up the shampoo in her hands and washed his thick, brown hair. "You're not too bad yourself," she joked softly, as they both held each other while they got rinsed off. "Come on, we should go check the kids. Aoife's probably flooded the bathroom trying to give the boys a bath," she chuckled.

He laughed and they got out of the shower and got dressed before they headed into the kids room where they saw Aoife drenched as she tried to wash Rayland and Dean who were both laughing at her.

"Look pa, we're swimming." Dean said smiling.

"Yer drivin' yer sister insane," he laughed, as the two of them sat down and helped Aoife wash her brothers, with Rayland playing with his rubber duck, and occasionally splashing his father, laughing when Daryl scowled at him.

They finished washing the boys and dried them as Bailey took Aoife to have a bath and washed her thick, dark brown curls lovingly as she smiled at her happily.

"Love you mama." She said smiling.

"Love you too, sweetheart," she said softly, as she cleaned her up, before helping her get dried, and putting her hair up into a ponytail, kissing her softly on the forehead. "Come on; let's go see what the boys are up to."

Aoife giggled and they walked down the hallway to see Daryl with a clean Dean and Rayland who were both laughing cheekily.

"Rayland said shit face." He said smirking.

Rayland!" She said with a shocked expression, but still looked a little amused. "Who taught you that?" she asked.

Rayland pointed to Daryl and smiled. "Dada did."

"I thought we talked about this?" She asked him amused as they walked downstairs and headed into the kitchen where the others were.

"Prick." James said giggling.

"Fuck, shit, asshole." Judith said smiling.

"Look what you've started," Bailey smirked as she poked Daryl playfully in the side. "You're a bad influence, you know?"

"They're learning the Dixon language." He said holding her close and she smiled at him lovingly as everyone watched smiling.

"You and Merle's first words were fuck and shit." Will said fondly.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" Bailey laughed as they sat down and snuggled up together. "So it must be from their granddad they've learned it."

"My pa had a bit of a mouth on him; he served in the army during the Second World War and swore a lot, he saw things." Will's voice dropped and his head bowed.

"Are you alright?" Patricia asked worried.

Will nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine, just thinkin' about my old man, He'd seen things people weren't supposed to see," he said softly as he rubbed her hand. "But let's not talk about that now, it's my daughter in law's special day," he said as he smiled at Bailey.

"Thank you, all of you." Bailey said happily, her blue eyes shining as they played and watched the children play together along with the animals.

"I didn't know Grandpa Norman was in the army?" Merle said surprised.

Will nodded. "He sure was, he was a brave man," he said softly.

"Is that who your tattoo is for?" Bailey asked as she ran her fingers over Daryl's chest, where he had the word 'Norman' above his left nipple.

"Sure is, I got it after he died when I was twenty six years old." Daryl said holding her tightly as he remembered his grandfather dying.

"How did he die?" Dylan asked sad.

"He had a heart attack," Will said sadly. "That's why I was a little worried when it happened to me. My dad was under a lot of stress though, he couldn't handle it."

"He saw a lot of things when he was in the army and it caused him to be very depressed and angry towards racist people." He said and Merle felt shame run through him.

"Can't really say much, I was a bit like that too," Merle admitted quietly.

"But you're not now," Beth said softly as she curled into him.

Merle nodded and rocked Dean gently as they sat in peaceful silence when Aoife hurried over to where Daryl was.

"The house is ready, daddy."

Daryl nodded as he hugged her tightly. "Thank you, sweetheart," he said softly as he hugged Dean and Rayland, before he looked at Bailey. "Go pack a bag, sweetheart."

She looked confused but went upstairs to pack a bag with some dresses, tights, sexy underwear and some shoes including her presents as she headed back downstairs.

"Where are we going?"

"Me an' ya are goin' on a little vacation," he said softly, as he picked his up his own bag he had packed earlier. "Ain't anywhere fancy, I can't take ya to a tropical island, but I hope ya like it."

"Daryl wherever you are, I'd love it." She said taking his hand as they said good bye and headed out of the house as they walked to the lake house.

She held his hand tightly as they walked.


"I love ya," he said softly as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Love you too, Daryl," she said with a smile, as they reached the house. Daryl smiled as they opened the door and went inside, and Bailey looked shocked as she looked around the rooms.

The rooms had been covered with her favourite flowers, red roses, wildflowers and bluebells as she walked into the rooms and found a black grand piano.

"You remembered?" She asked tracing the keys.

"I know how much ya used to love playin'," Daryl said softly, as Bailey put her bags down in the bedroom, and came back through. "Took us quite the struggle to try and go to town and get it back here unnoticed."

She ran to him and hugged him tightly as happy tears slid down her face and she hugged him even more.

"Thank you, I love you and that gift so much." She said kissing him with all she had.

"I love you too," he said softly as he wrapped his arms around her. "Now ya go and sit down, there's wine on the table, I'm gonna finish dinner for ya," he said as he brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes and tucked it behind her ear.

She smiled at him happily as she went to sit down at the table and saw him frying something and felt her stomach growl, she laughed.

Daryl finished cooking and placed the food on the table and popped open the bottle as he poured out some wine.

"Happy birthday, darlin'."

Bailey smiled at him as he sat down and joined her. "Thank you, I love you," she said softly, as she began to eat her dinner. "You should have become a chef you know."

"Nah, I like working with my hands too much." He said softly and she smiled softly at him before taking out the diamond necklace.

"Help me put it on?"

"Course I will," Daryl smiled as he took the necklace and brushed her hair to the side, before he put it around her and fastened it at the back.

He looked at her then and smiled as he saw how beautiful she looked in that moment and held her tightly to him.

"Let me love ya?" Daryl asked softly, as he kissed the back of her neck, his hands running over her shoulders.

"Of course," she smiled as she stood up along with him, and he pulled her into him as he kissed her passionately. Bailey began to angle her body towards the bedroom, but Daryl pushed her back against the table further, pressing himself into her, as he reached out behind them to clear the plates with his hand. They smashed to the floor, but neither of them cared as Daryl picked her up and set her down on the table, unbuttoning her shirt, as he kissed her neck. Bailey sighed happily into him as she ran her hands through his hair, before sliding down to undo his belt.

She stopped to reach into her stuff and pulled out a condom, looking at Daryl with a small smile. "Please, baby," she said softly as she kissed his cheek. "I don't want to lose you or my kids," she said, and Daryl looked at her for a moment, before nodding and taking it out of her hand.

He kicked his jeans off, and undid hers as he laid her back on the table, and climbed up on top of her, hoping it wasn't going to break. He undid her bra, and kissed down her chest, taking her nipple into his mouth and sucking gently, as she moaned softly underneath him, pushing her hips up into his. Daryl embraced her, as he slipped their underwear off, both of them sighing happily when they were skin to skin, and touching each other, feeling each other.

"I fuckin' love you," he said as he ran his hands up her bare sides. He slid the condom on and positioned himself, before he took her hands and nuzzled his face into her neck, slowly sliding himself into her. Bailey rocked her hips against him, and wrapped her legs around his waist, as he slowly made love to her; they held each other tightly, not wanting to let the other go.

Bailey gasped as Daryl hit all the right spots, the table rocking gently beneath them, as they both neared their edge. Bailey was there first, digging her nails into Daryl and moaning his name, as her body tightened and exploded around him. Daryl bit down softly on the skin at her neck, as he felt himself go over the edge too, waves of pleasure flooding through his body.

He held her to him tightly and tilted her chin so he could kiss her and clutched her tightly as he rode out his orgasm, her hands interlaced with his.

"I love you." She said kissing him.

"I love ya too," he said as he tried to catch his breath and rolled over, pulling her on top of him, still on top of the table.

Bailey chuckled as she rubbed small circles on his chest. "Wanna move to the bedroom?"

"Might be a good idea." He said getting up in all of his naked glory and she smiled as the moon shone on his bare shoulders and he picked her up and carried her into their bedroom where the bed was covered in roses.

Bailey smiled as she leaned into him, before he set her down gently on the bed, and climbed on beside her. He lifted one of the roses and put it into her hair, before he stroked her cheek gently. "Ya got no idea how beautiful ya are."

She blushed a light pink and smiled lovingly at Daryl who held her tightly as they simply held each other tightly.

"You're beautiful too, Daryl." She said kissing him.

Daryl smiled down at her, as he ran his hands up her sides. "Got a big day for you planned tomorrow," he said softly.

"Oh yeah?" Bailey smirked. "What are we going to be doing?"

"Ain't telling ya, it's a surprise." He said kissing her gently as her arms wrapped around his neck and he pulled her onto his lap.

"I want you so bad."

"You've got me, Daryl," she said softly as she rubbed his bare sides. "I'm yours Daryl. I always will be, I promise you," she added as she leaned forward to kiss his neck, with Daryl groaning as her breasts pressed against his bare chest.

He tilted her face so he could kiss her and she kissed him hard on the mouth as she ran her hands over his torso and traced his scars lovingly, tenderly.

"I love you."

"Love ya too," Daryl said softly as he pulled her up further, and slowly pushed himself up into her, grabbing at her waist as she moaned softly, feeling content as their bodies joined together as one. Bailey rocked her hips against him, taking him deeper as he sat up and pulled her closer in his lap, so he could thrust up into her. Bailey tilted her head back as Daryl began to thrust a little harder, his hands holding her tightly. "Christ, ya feel so good, darlin'."

"You feel wonderful, Daryl." She said kissing him as she ran her fingers along his mouth, his cheeks, and his nose and around his eyes.

"I will never let you go." She said kissing him.

"Good, cause ain't no way I could live without ya," he panted as he wound his fingers into her hair, groaning when he thrust deep inside her. "Yer so..." he paused to place small kisses down her chest and over her breasts, "Fuckin' perfect."

"You're perfect too, Daryl." She said feeling a warm feeling in her stomach as she rode him and moaned softly, her hands digging into his tightly.

"Harder Daryl, please." She panted, she was so close and she could tell he was.

Daryl paused and shifted, rolling her over so she was underneath him, as he began to pound into her harder, his hips slamming off hers, as he nuzzled his face into her neck. "Better, darlin'?" he panted as he pulled her legs up around him and picked up his speed.

"Yes, so much better, Daryl." She gasped and buried her face into his neck as she felt herself come over the edge.

"Cum with me Bailey." He panted and trailed a finger into her wet core and found her swollen, engorged nub.

Daryl began to rub quickly with his rough fingers, making her gasp as she felt her body tense up around him, before she let out a whimper and her orgasm crashed over her. She was trembling in Daryl's arms as she moaned out his name. Daryl smiled to himself, they could make as much noise as they liked, and they had the whole place to themselves. He felt her walls contract around him and couldn't take anymore, before he let out a growl and bit down on her neck as he came, his boy jerking on top of her.

He listened to her heartbeat and smiled softly as he felt her hold him tightly as she led a trail of kisses along where his heart was.

"I love you." She said lovingly.

"I love ya too, Bailey," he said softly, as he brushed the hair out of her eyes. "I always will," he added, as they both got under the blankets, their bodies tangled up together, as they snuggled into each other and watched the moon shine over the lake outside.

Bailey smiled happily as she fell asleep in the man who had healed her heart in so many ways and curled into him and he held her tightly.


Daryl smiled in the kitchen the next morning, realizing how much he had become somewhat of a domestic goddess, all this cooking and shit. He smirked as he put everything on a plate, and went outside to pick some flowers, putting them into a small vase on the tray he had set up.

He headed back into the bedroom where he saw Bailey had just woken up and looked up at him with a warm smile as he set the tray down on the bedside table and sat beside her.

"Morning, sweetheart." He said kissing her.

Bailey yawned and stretched before sitting up in bed and smiling at him. "Good morning," she smiled, as Daryl placed the tray in front of her, and she began to eat her breakfast gratefully, before looking at him with a smirk. "Did you cook naked?" she asked with a laugh as Daryl got back under the blankets and shared the food with her.

"Sure as fuck did and don't fuckin' tell Merle." Daryl said as he wrapped an arm around her as they ate their breakfast in content.

"I hope the kids are alright." She said softly.

"They've got a wonderful family to take care of them," Daryl smiled softly as he took her hand. "Besides, this was Dean's idea, and Aoife and Rayland helped decorate the place. We've got some pretty smart kids, y'know?" he smirked.

"I know that, they're so brave, smart and kind." Bailey said smiling as she finished eating her breakfast and put on a sundress with some black tights and a cardigan.

"Wanna take a ride on the bike?" Daryl asked softly.

Bailey nodded. "Sounds like fun," she said with a smile. "Where are we going?" she asked as she put on her leather jacket from Will and Patricia.

"It's a surprise." He said smiling as they got on the bike and drove away.

Bailey smiled as she held onto Daryl tightly, resting her head against his back, as the wind blew her hair. They drown down side roads, along the highway, and other places she had never been, before Daryl finally pulled to a stop.

He pulled up and helped her up as she realised they were in a wildflower field and she smiled happily as she ran around laughing happily.

"Come and get me!" She yelled playfully.

Daryl laughed as he watched her go and set the keys down with the bike before he chased after her, both of them laughing happily as they ran around the field, the breeze blowing through Bailey's hair, as she felt carefree for the first time in ages.

She ran happily around the fields, a sense of peace washing over her as she ran and could hear Daryl behind her as he got closer.

She smiled and kept on running happily as she felt him wrap his arms around her waist and she laughed as he tickled her.

"I caught ya."

Bailey laughed as she tried to wrestle him off her, breaking out into giggles as he continued to tickle her, before they both ended up in a heap on the ground. Bailey sighed happily as she lay back under the sunlight. "It's so peaceful out here. Almost as if walkers and everything don't even exist."

"Its nice out here almost as if nothing bad happens here." Daryl said holding her close as she kissed each of his fingers.

"I hurt you." She said sadly holding him close.

Daryl shook his head. "Ain't yer fault. I know things never have been or never were gonna be easy for us, but we're gettin' there, ain't we?" he asked softly.

"We are." She said and then realised how much he had wanted a baby girl as well and made up her mind.

"Make love to me, please?" She asked softly.

Daryl smiled at her, as they both undressed, and he picked up some of their clothes to make a soft pile to lie on in the field. He pulled her onto it, and he climbed on top of her, with Bailey resting her legs at either side of him. "Have to have ya, Bailey," Daryl whispered as he kissed a trail down from her neck and down over her chest.

"Take me then, Daryl," she moaned softly as she took his hand in her own. His finger began to trace its way down over her neck, between her breasts and down her stomach, as she wrapped her legs around him and urged him closer.

Daryl reached down and with a swift move, slid two fingers into her, making her cry out, as she writhed around on the ground underneath him, as he started to slide them in and out. "Oh God, baby, please..." Bailey panted as she bucked her hips up into him. "Yes, right there," she said as she laid her head back against the ground and panted as Daryl's fingers worked their magic, while his thumb rubbed small circles against her clit.

Another cry escaped her lips, as Daryl added another finger and she tried to keep her breathing under control as she approached the edge. Daryl noticed the changes in her breathing, and her flushed cheeks and quickly pulled away, making her whimper in annoyance. "Not yet, baby," he said softly, giving her a quick kiss on the lips.

"Why did you stop!?" she gasped, but before she could get an answer, Daryl had moved, so he was between her legs, and was covering her mouth with his own.

"Mmm... please baby... please..." she begged, as Daryl smiled down at her. One swift thrust and he was deep inside of her, gritting his teeth and biting his lip to keep from screaming at this amazing feeling. Daryl went slowly at first, and Bailey couldn't stop herself from pressing into him and trying to get closer.

The pace began increasing, and she could hear him gasp for breath as he started breathing harder and harder, loving the feeling of her tightness around him, he fit her perfectly, they had been made for each other. Soon, he was thrusting faster and harder, his hips meeting hers every time he pound into her, making her scream out in pleasure. A low growl escaped his lips "Oh God, I love you so much."

"I love you, too, angel", she replied as she dug her nails deeper into his skin and ran her hand through his hair. Daryl pushed deeper and deeper, moaning and gasping for air, as she tightened her muscles around him.

Daryl kissed her hard, sucking his tongue into her mouth as their lovemaking neared the edge, his hands tightly on her hips, as he caressed the soft skin. Bailey felt herself began to tense up and knew what was coming. Her eyes snapped open to look at Daryl, as she began to shake, and her body exploded in a rush of pleasure, as he pushed her over the edge, moaning out his name. Daryl growled and thrust a few more times before he came, his hands holding onto her tightly.

"I love you that was amazing." She said kissing him lovingly.

"I love ya too." Daryl said holding her close.

Bailey closed her eyes and simply curled into him as they both rested and held each other tightly as the sun shone on them, making it seem as if Daryl had wings.

"You're beautiful." She said tracing his scars and he smiled at her as he held her tightly and they lay down on the grass.

"Mine." Daryl said softly, he kissed her hair gently.

"Yours Daryl, all yours." Bailey said placing her right hand against his cheek and he smiled down at her as he held her tightly.

"I will never let ya go, Bailey." He said holding her against him as they lay on the blankets, they had brought with them.

"I will never let you go either, Daryl." She said resting her forehead against his.

Bailey smiled as she kissed him gently. "This has been the best birthday ever," she said softly, as she wrapped her arms around his waist.

Daryl smirked as he brushed her hair with his fingers. "Oh, it ain't over yet darlin'."

"Oh really?" She asked smiling up at him as he helped her get up and they pulled on their clothes as they got on the bike.

"On ya knees." He said softly.
