Somebody To Die For

Chapter 38

"I believe we were in the middle of something earlier," Hershel said softly as he gestured for Bailey to come over to them, which she did and took Daryl's hand. "You two many now exchange rings."

Daryl picked his up first. "I, Daryl, give you, Bailey, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you," he said with a smile, as he slid the ring onto her ring finger.

Bailey picked hers up next and smiled softly at Merle and Beth, before placing the ring on Daryl's finger. "And I, Bailey, give you, Daryl, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you,"

Hershel grinned at them both. "I hereby pronounce you husband and wife," he announced, before looking at Daryl. "You may kiss your bride."

Daryl pulled Bailey into his arms as he kissed her passionately on the mouth and everyone cheered happily at them as Axel and Carol took photos of them.

"Yer finally Mrs Dixon," he said happily as he rest his head on her shoulder and hugged her tightly.

Bailey smiled at him and stroked his cheek. "Come on; let's go see how Anna is."

He smiled at her and they walked back to the house where they found Anna awake and well, Rick was beside her along with the kids.

Bailey smiled and sat down next to her. "Hey Anna, how are you feeling?" she asked softly.

"Sore but I'll live and I'm sorry about your wedding." Anna said sadly and Bailey smiled warmly at her.

"We got married."

Rick smiled at them both. "Congratulations guys," he said softly. "I'm sorry we didn't give you the wedding that you both deserved."

"Doesn't matter, Rick," Bailey assured him. "We had each other."

Anna smiled at them as she fell back to sleep and Rick carried her up to bed as Daryl and Bailey watched as they watched.

"Let's go back to the lake house." Daryl said softly.

"I don't want to leave the kids on their own when it's dark though," she said softly. "The triplets are alone in bed."

"Alright then." He said upset and they headed upstairs to bed where he saw Lara fussing while Peggy and Charlotte slept contently.

"Dada, mama."

"Hey, sweetheart," Daryl said softly as he picked her up. "Ya alright, sweetheart?"

Lara cooed and snuggled into him as Bailey watched warmly and she checked on the other kids as well before joining them.

"Mama, dada." She cooed.

"Hey, Lara," she said softly as she sat down next to them and kissed her forehead.

"My beautiful baby girls," she said as she got changed into her nightgown and snuggled in next to the triplets.

"Our beautiful girls." Daryl said holding them close as Bailey cuddled into him and held his hand tightly in hers.

"I love you."

"I love ya too," he said as he kissed her forehead and cuddled his girls and they both fell asleep.

The next morning everyone was up and giving statements to John and Catherine as Bailey cooked breakfast with Carol and Patricia.

"How's Anna doing?" Bailey asked softly as she made some pancakes with fruit and cream.

"She's doing better," Carol said with a smile. "She just needs time out to recover."

"That's good." Bailey said as her wedding ring gleamed in the sunlight and they all placed the dishes on the table as everyone came in.

"We located Chelle Ronson and her husband Mark, they are in police custody." Catherine said kindly.

"That's good news," Patricia said with a wide smile, as she placed some breakfast down for Will, Dylan and Rose. "So what happens next?"

"Anna doesn't need to testify. We took pictures of her injuries, and we managed to catch them in the act, so they're automatically going down," John said softly.

"Anna and Rick will be pleased," Carol grinned.

"How did they know we lived here though?" Carl asked as he got plates for his family and Daryl helped him out as the others ate.

"We believe he got information from someone in the CDC and tracked you all down, he wanted to make your dad suffer like Lori did." John explained.

At least he's gone for now," Carol said with a smile. "Do we have to worry about the person who passed on our information?"

Catherine shook her head. "No, we talked to him. He didn't mean to do it maliciously. Mr Ronson had a lot of power, and the man didn't think anything about giving him your information. He didn't mean any harm, we assure you."

"He didn't know." Hershel said understandingly as everyone said good bye and watched the two FBI agents leave when Sophia spoke.

"Are we leaving this house?"

Carol ruffled her hair gently. "We're going to new houses, and we're going to start working soon, sweetheart."

"But we'll all be together though in King County and live on the same street." Carl said and Sophia smiled happily as she kissed him on the lips.

"They remind me of Rick and Anna." Morgan said amused.

"They certainly do," Carol smiled as she watched her daughter happy with Carl. "Young love. She'll have a family of her own before I know it."

"She's fucking too young to have little ones, Jesus Carol." Axel said horrified and protective as he hurried over to where the two teenagers were.

"Uh oh." Penny said smirking.

"You two careful what you're doing now, you follow me?" Axel said sternly as he looked at the two of them.

"Axel, easy," Carol said softly. "I was kidding."

"That may be darlin' but Sophia here is too young to be a mother and I think Rick and Anna will think the same." Axel said firmly and went to take watch.

"Your dad's scary." Carl said impressed.

Sophia chuckled. "Don't worry about him, I don't plan to be a mother any time soon," she laughed as she took Carl's hand and they headed outside.

"You two better keep an eye on that son of yers; he's always hanging around with Aoife and kissing her." Daryl said watching James and Aoife play.

Rick laughed as he picked James up and ruffled his hair gently. "No girlfriends for you yet son," he said with a smirk. "Not for a while yet."

"But daddy you kiss mommy and she kisses you." Becky pointed out as Anna came down with her and smiled warmly.

"Hey."

"Hey there," Rick smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. "How are you feeling this morning?" he asked.

"I'm a lot better thanks," she said softly as she curled into his chest. "Everything OK?"

"Everything is fine mom but daddy won't let me kiss Aoife and be her boyfriend." James said annoyed as Aoife cuddled into him and Annette snuggled into Matthew.

"They're our husbands."

Anna laughed at that. "I don't think so. Not for a while yet, anyway," she smirked. "You two need to wait until you're a little older," she said softly.

"Ok mommy." Judith said and smirked slyly as she walked to where Dean was and kissed him softly on the lips as Daryl choked on his coffee.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

"JUDY!" Rick said warningly as he went and picked her up. "Hell no, there's going to be none of that!" he said as he pointed a finger at her. "Your mom and dad can do it because they're older, not you. Not yet."

"I'm sorry daddy; I didn't mean to upset you." Judith said ashamed and Rick sighed as he cuddled her tightly to him and sat next to Anna.

"I know you are, you and Becky are my little girls." He said softly.

"We don't want you to grow up too fast, that's all," Anna said with a soft smile as she hugged them both.

They snuggled into them tightly as everyone went to pack and Bailey looked sadly around the house and Daryl took her hand tightly.

"I'll miss this place and the lake house." She said softly.

Daryl nodded. "I will too," he said with a small smile, as everyone packed their photographs and personal items into bags and boxes.

"It's going to be strange having our own houses," Rick laughed. "We'll still be close to each other, but we'll have our own space."

"We can take the piano in one of the trucks, don't worry Bailey." Daryl told her as they packed up their things and headed to the lake house to pack.

Bailey walked into each of the rooms so she could remember the memories of this place; this was where she and Daryl had married.

She smiled softly as she picked up the photographs from their bedroom, and went into the kids room to pack up their toys, along with everything else she could find.

"Help me carry ya piano back to the house, baby." Daryl said softly as he pushed it.

Bailey nodded and gave him a small smile as she set the boxes down on top of the piano, and went to the opposite side and pulled it out the door.

They managed to push it to the house as Merle came out and helped them tie it down to one of the trucks as everyone had finished packing with the kids getting the animals ready.

"Are all of you ready?" Quinn asked kindly.

Rick shrugged as he turned to give their house one last look. "As ready as we'll ever be, I guess," he said softly. "What about all the animals?"

"We can divide the dogs and cats between houses," Quinn said softly. "And there are stables in the town for the horses."

"Alright then, let's go." Rick said and everyone drove back to King County as they all said good bye to the house with Lupo curling onto Aoife's lap as Lara, Charlotte and Peggy slept with Rayland and Dean playing with Aoife, Smudge was asleep on Peggy's lap.

"Wonder what our new house looks like." Daryl said as they followed Rick.

Bailey shrugged and looked out the window as they passed by several fields, with Rick in the front with Quinn.

"I can't wait to get settled in," Anna said with a smile as she had James on her lap, while Carl and Judith sat in the back with the triplets.

"Neither can I, it will be nice having our own house but still having the others around." Rick said as they reached King County and saw Quinn direct them to a block of houses with back yards, swimming pools and lake houses.

"Looks like we're here." Daryl said getting out.

"Looks like it," Carol smiled as they got their boxes out of the cars. "It's going to take us a while to get used to it I guess, but they look lovely."

"They all have electricity and have warm water." John said softly. "And they've been cleaned up and redecorated. We'll give you a few days to settle in before you start working."

Rick nodded and shook his hand. "Thanks, y'all."

"Your welcome and I hope you like them." Quinn said as he got back in his car as everyone picked out a house and went inside.

Bailey picked a house that was next door to Merle and Beth as she started to unpack with the kids helping her out as Smudge sat on a sofa contently, Daryl helped her stack the shelves as they unloaded their things.

"It looks nice this house." She said smiling.

"Got a lake house too." Daryl said smirking

Bailey nodded. "Sure does," she said as she picked up some of the boxes as she went upstairs. They were three bed-roomed houses. "Aoife? Do you mind sharing with the triplets?" She asked softly as she unpacked their clothes and toys. "Rayland and Dean can share the other."

"No mama I don't mind at all." Aoife said happily as she started to unpack her things as Daryl wrapped his arms around her waist tightly.

"Looks like we finally found our home." He said softly.

Bailey nodded. "I guess so," she said as she got started on something to eat for them all, with a full working kitchen, as Dean set the table for them.

She managed to cook some chicken with rice, she and Daryl had a drink while the kids had soda, and the triplets had juice.

"I like our room." Dean said happily.

"I'm happy, sweetheart," she said softly as Dean and Rayland went to play with Aoife and the triplets.

Daryl turned to Bailey and stared at her for a moment. "Are we OK?" He asked.

"Gimme an honest answer. Ya've barely let me touch ya since the triplets were born," he said quietly. Bailey had pleasured him plenty of times, but Daryl hadn't even seen her bare skin since then, not even on their wedding night.

Bailey sighed and hung her head, before pulling up her shirt. Daryl gasped slightly when he'd seen the scars all over her stomach from the operation. "Look at me, Daryl," she said, feeling tears sting her eyes. "I'm a mess."

Daryl gently traced her scars and she made to push him away but he gently pushed them away as he looked intently at the scars that she had because of the triplets.

"That don't bother me woman, I love ya for who ya are. Those are a part of yer." He said kissing them gently and Bailey felt something in her break.

"But I look horrible." She whispered.

Daryl reached up and touched her face gently. "Hell no ya don't," he said softly, as he thumbed away the tears from her eyes. "Ya look beautiful. Ya always did and ya always do. Ain't ever seen any fuckin' thing more beautiful," he added as he pulled her against his chest and stroked her hair. "Yer perfect, Bailey."

Bailey felt something like a great weight had been lifted off her shoulders as she rested her forehead against his and simply held him tightly.

"I love you so much." She said kissing him.

"I love ya too, Bailey," he said as he ran his hand over her cheeks and down to rest at the back of her neck. "Scars or not."

She smiled at him lovingly as she rested a hand against his cheek and suddenly was filled with a need to have him on her, his skin against hers.

"How about we go and test out the new bed?" She asked softly as she smiled at him.

Daryl smirked. "I'd love that," he said as he took her hand and they went upstairs, making sure the kids were occupied, before going into their room.

Bailey made an attempt to close the curtains and turn the lights off before Daryl stopped her and took off her shirt. "No, I wanna see ya," he said as he guided her back towards the bed. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly, as she gave him a small smile. He took off her bra, and released her breasts, kissing around them gently, before taking off his own clothes and throwing them to the side.

Daryl laid out, flat against her, his palm running down her thigh, every part of his skin touching hers in some way, and he sighed contentedly.

"Yer so beautiful, Bailey," he said as he looked at her, his hand trailing over her legs, up over her stomach, around her breasts, and finally up to settle on her cheek. "Yer damn perfect, baby," he said as he slowly ran his hands over the fabric of her underwear, his fingers disappearing into the waistband as he slowly eased her panties down her legs. The breath caught in his throat as he teased the underwear off her, and she moaned softly, arching her back into him with need, her body aching to have him inside her. It had been so god damn long. He slid his long finger into her, finding her to be nice and wet for him, as she wriggled around underneath him.

"Oh, God, yes." Bailey breathed, "Want you, baby." Her voice was needy and filled with lust. Gently, he kissed her neck and eased himself inside her, burying his face in her hair as he moved deeper. Bailey pushed her hips forward so that she felt her thighs press against his until they were truly, completely connected. Moving slow at first, they moved together, meeting in the middle, finding a pace that was comfortable enough to start with, but as Bailey got louder, Daryl curled his fingers into hers as he picked up speed, their bodies writhing together.

Daryl kissed her bare neck as he thrust into her, pulling her leg up to his waist, so her long limbs were wrapped around him. "Mine." He breathed, kissing her shoulder, "Mine, mine, mine."

"Yours Daryl, I don't want anyone else," she moaned, as she rocked her hips against him, "No one else," her body filled with desire and she pushed harder against him, shivering as Daryl's hot mouth pressed against her neck. "Oh, you feel so good..." she trailed off, her head dropping back against the pillow, as they moved faster against each other, Daryl shifting and gripping her waist with one hand. He led a trail of kisses from her neck down her chest and over her breasts, and let his free hand drift between her legs, finding her clit and rubbing it slowly at first, enjoying hearing Bailey's whimpers of pleasure. Daryl sped up and soon she was contracting around him, her fingers entwined with his squeezing hard, her breath coming out in gasps as her orgasm crashed over her.

Daryl let out a low growl as he thrust into her a few more times, before gripping her waist tightly as he came hard into her, his body jerking and shaking, as she wrapped her arms around his back, and they lay tangled up together.

"That was wonderful." Bailey said as she smiled at Daryl who smirked at her and pulled her into him as she saw a sketch pad and looked through it.

There were drawings of her before the world had ended and after along with the rest of the group, the animals and the kids.

Bailey looked confused for a second as she flicked through the pages. The only person that could have done those drawings of her before the world ended was... Daryl? She looked at him and touched his cheek. "You did these?"

"When no one was looking, I wanted to draw ya and then I started liking it." He said curling into her as he kissed her finger.

"They're beautiful." She said kissing him.

"Just somethin' I do in my spare time," Daryl said with a soft smile as they lay back and he rested his head against her chest.

"I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you," she said ashamed, as she stroked his hair.

"Don't be, I understand." He said as he felt her fingers run through his hair and she lightly traced his scars gently.

"I'm glad I found you." She said kissing him lovingly.

"I'm glad I found ya too," he smiled up at her. "Mrs Dixon."

Bailey smirked at that. "Mr Dixon. I'm sorry we didn't get the wedding you probably wanted, but we're married now, and that's all that matters."

"That's all I care about darlin'." He said kissing her as the door was slammed open and Lara charged in looking hyper.

"Dada and mama, why are ya naked?"

Bailey's eyes widened, as they both pulled a blanket around them. "Uh... mommy and daddy were just cuddling," Bailey said quickly with a frown.

"Naked cuddles?" Lara asked confused as she hopped up on the bed with them.

"Yeah sweetheart, naked cuddles." Daryl said smirking and Lara grinned as Dean ran in looking annoyed.

"Damnit Lara, pa and mama are havin' some alone time." He said as Lara kissed her parents and left when she asked.

"Were they making love?"

Dean couldn't help but laugh slightly at her as he dragged her out of the bedroom. "I hope so," he smirked, after seeing his parents be distant for a while, he had been happy to see them back together again.

Bailey chuckled. "That was close. We're going to have to explain to them all someday I guess."

"Not fuckin' yet, get here woman." Daryl said pulling her into him as he kissed her hard on the mouth.

Rick and Anna were currently lying crumpled on the bed after pretty much locking tongues as Carl would say.

"I love you," Anna said softly as she rubbed his chest gently. "And this place. I think we're going to do good here."

"I think so too and I love you too." He said holding her tightly as they heard the kids playing downstairs with Lance's playful barks heard.

"I wonder what the others are doing." She said amused.

"Probably settling into their new homes too, getting used to their new surroundings," Rick said with a smile as he stroked her hair.

"It feels nice being safe and being back home." Anna said leaning against him as he held her tightly when they saw Leo pad in and jump on the bed before curling up and going to sleep.

"Look at that, we have an intruder," she laughed as she reached out to stroke his fur and pulled a blanket around herself and Rick. "This is nice."

"Not having to fight walkers or people, this is nice." Rock said kissing her as they got under the sheets and looked at her.

"Wish my parents were here." He said quietly.

"I do too," Anna said softly as she stroked his stubbly cheek. "But I'm sure wherever they all are now, they're watching over us and their grandkids."

He nodded and pulled her into him as they both fell asleep with Leo snuggled into them.

The street was quiet the next morning as everyone stayed in their houses and spent a day relaxing after all of the troubles they had overcome.

Anna had Becky on her hip as she cooked breakfast for everyone and Carl placed some dog biscuits down for Lance as Leo ate his cat food.

"This feels so nice." Carl said smiling.

"It sure does," Anna said softly, as she made pancakes and waffles for the kids, while she and Rick had some fruit. "It's a change, but it's good."

"You're telling me." Rick said as they all sat at the table and ate their breakfast in a peaceful silence as Carl was going to see Sophia later while Judith was going to play with Aoife.

"I wonder if any of our old neighbours will come back." Anna wondered as they heard knocking on the door.

"Who on earth is that?" Rick asked as he stood up and walked towards the door, where he was greeted by a strange man and woman when he opened it.

"Morning neighbours!" The man said cheerily. "We were wondering if you would like to participate in our neighbourhood baking contest."

"Sure I guess." Rick said stunned as they both grinned at him and went to the rest of the group's houses when he saw Daryl and Bailey and their kids come over looking happy.

"Ya two saw that couple then?" Daryl asked amused.

Rick laughed as he invited them into the house. "We sure did," he said with a smirk. "Are the two of you going to be doing some baking?"

"We thought it might be fun seeing as our whole group is doing it and we're competing with other groups." Bailey said smiling as the others came in and said hello.

"I can't telly ya'll what a good sleep I had." Maggie said smiling.

"You're not the only one," Anna said with a smile as she held Rick's hand and made everyone a coffee. "I love these houses."

"They're amazing." Carol said happily and Bailey smiled happily as well.

Anna squeezed Bailey's hand gently. "Rick and I talked last night," she said softly. "We want you and Daryl to have the lake house. We know it's not going to be the same as the last one, but hopefully you can make new memories there too. Think of it as a late wedding gift," she said as she hugged her. "And an apology for ruining your wedding in the first place."

"You didn't ruin our wedding day Anna, it was those men and Lori's dad not you but thank you." Bailey said hugging her tightly and she hugged her back.

"Are ya sure Rick?" Daryl asked touched.

Rick nodded and patted him on the back. "We're sure. We know how much that place meant to the two of you, and I'm sure you'll have as much fun in the new one."

"Thank ya that means a lot us." Daryl said as he hugged Bailey and they all started to cook their food for the bake off.

"What are we all making?" Rick asked as he got out ingredients. "Anna and I were thinking of doing a strawberry cheesecake and chocolate fudge cake."

"That sounds good; dad and mom are making brownies while Daryl and Bailey are making a chicken pot pie with chocolate cake." Sophia said as everyone started to cook.

Soon the delicious smell of their baking was in the air and everyone's stomachs started to growl, as they pinched the occasional ingredient here and there to eat.

They went into the living to talk until the food was ready.

"So do you think those people are our neighbours then?" Merle asked. "They were so damn bright and cheerful."

"Looks like it, they seemed very happy about everything." Rick said as he helped Tom cook to brownie mix and his son laughed.

"We don't have to go to school." He said pleased.

"None of us do, I guess they can't find teachers." Dean said drinking some apple juice.

Carol smirked at him. "I'd keep quiet about that one, Dean," she laughed. "I used to do a bit of teaching, but we won't tell anyone, eh?"

Dean nodded in agreement and went off to play with the other children as Morgan smiled at everyone and drank his coffee.

"Everyone looking forward about going to work?"

"It's going to be odd, but yeah, I think so," Anna smiled, as she put her uniform into the wash. "Getting dressed for work again and all that."

"Gonna be weird waking up early and all that." Merle said smirking as they took out the food and set it out on the table where they put it on cake stands.

"Dad there's a man at the door called Lambert Kendall." Carl said wearily.

Rick's eyes widened. "What? No way! We used to work together," he smiled as he walked towards the front door and grinned at Lambert. "You're alive!"

"Alive and kicking Rick, but its good to see you up and around." Lambert said shaking his hand tightly and giving everyone warm smiles.

Everyone placed their dishes down on the table, and went to meet the other residents who had moved into the area. Bailey picked up Charlotte as she went to sit down next to a younger blonde man with a little boy on his lap.

"Hi, I'm Bradley," he said with a smile as he offered a hand to shake. "And this is my nephew, Andrew."

"Its nice to meet you my name's Bailey Dixon and this is my daughter Charlotte Dixon." She said warmly as Daryl sat beside her with Peggy and Lara.

"You must be her husband." Bradley said warmly.

Daryl nodded. "That's me," he said as he put an arm around Bailey, while the girls cooed at Bradley.

"Triplets?" He asked with a smile.

"Yep these three are our little miracles." Bailey said warmly as she took Daryl's hand.

Daryl smiled at her and squeezed her hand tightly as they watched all their new neighbours place the baking down on the table, as the man and woman they had met before wrote something down and appeared to be the ones judging it.

Bailey smiled as she watched Dean and Judith play happily together, they were holding hands.

"Looks like Judy is going to be our daughter in law." She said amused.

Daryl snorted out a laugh. "Yeah, that ain't gonna happen for a few years yet," he smirked.

"Maybe they'll have naked cuddles like you and mommy," Lara said innocently, while Daryl scowled at her and Bradley laughed from beside them.

"Not in a long time, darlin'." Daryl said firmly as Lara got on his lap and cuddled him as Andrea and Penny came over.

"It's a nice town here." She said smiling.

Bailey nodded as they both sat down. "It sure is," she said softly as the sun shone down on them all. "How are things with you and Phillip?"

"We're doing great; he's over the moon about working at the hospital again." Andrea said smiling.

"That's good," Bailey said softly. "I'm looking forward to going back to work too. I got my nurses uniform this morning," she said with a smile.

"Believe it or not I'm looking forward to working in a garage again." Daryl said with a rare smile.

Bailey smiled and looked over at Dean and Rayland. "I'm sure you'll have two very helpful little assistants," she said softly.

He smiled at her as he pulled her into him and they simply held each other tightly.

"Alright everyone, it's time to announce the winner of our baking contest," the woman, who had now been introduced as Sally, announced.

"The winners are Carol, Axel and their group." The man called out.

Carol cheered happily, as did Axel and the others, as the judges handed them a small ribbon. "Well done," he smiled.

"Thank you all of you." Carol said smiling as everyone headed inside to Rick and Anna's house with the kids playing a board game.

"I get to work with grandpa Hershel mommy." Emma said happily and Katy smiled proudly as Will chuckled.

"I'm working with Daryl and Merle so is Dean, Dylan, Damien and Rayland." He said amused.

Rick nodded. "Morgan, Glenn and Lambert are going to be working with me."

"Bailey, Patricia, Carol, Rowan, Maggie and Beth are working with me at the hospital along with Andrea." Anna said smiling.

"Who's looking after the children then?" Andrea asked as they all ate what they had baked earlier in the day. "The babies and younger ones?"

"I am along with Rowan; they'll be in the old school along with the other kids." Carol said smiling and everyone laughed.

"Why don't we all go and get some rest for working tomorrow then?" Rick asked as they said goodnight to everyone, and they headed to their own houses. Rick and Anna put the kids to bed before going into their own room. Anna laid out Rick's sheriff uniform, and her doctor's uniform, all ready for the next morning, before they got changed for bed.

"I'm nervous." Anna said biting her lip as they got ready for bed and got under the sheets as they held each other.

"I am too." Rick admitted.

"We're going to do good though," Anna said with a smile as she stroked his cheek. "We always were good at what we did."

"I know and I love you." He said holding her close.

Everyone was up early the next morning and getting ready for work.

Bailey had made sure that they all had something to eat with her eating some pancakes with Daryl and kids as they got ready to leave.

"Let's go."

Daryl nodded as he put on his leather jacket, and made sure Dean and Rayland were ready, before he kissed Bailey softly on the cheek. "I'll take the triplets over to Carol and Rowan," he said as Aoife took her mothers hand to go to the hospital with her.

Bailey nodded. "Thank you."

"No problem yer be fine and I'll keep these two boys outta of trouble." He said kissing her lovingly on the lips and she kissed him back as they headed outside to where the others were waiting and she hugged him tightly.

"I love you three so much."

"We love ya too," Daryl said as he squeezed her hand. "Good luck."

Bailey smiled at him. "You too," she replied as she looked at the triplets. "You three be good for Carol and Rowan."

"We will mama don't worry." Peggy said smiling as they all went their separate ways with Daryl walking along with Merle as he dropped off the triplets with Carol who smiled happily.

"They're so well behaved." She said smiling.

"Yeah, for now," Merle smirked. "They'll grow into three little terrors when they're older, just ya wait and see."

Daryl laughed. "Just like their uncle did then, I guess?"

"And their pa." Merle said smirking as they headed into the garage where Dean happily ran in along with Damien and Rayland, James was with Rick and Carl.

"What do we get to do, pa?" Dean asked excitedly, as he looked around at all the army and the CDC trucks that needed fixed.

Daryl laughed. "Christ, I don't know where to start."
