Chapter 22: One of These Days

Once the commotion settled in the room, Carol with a blush on her face scurried away.

Kathryn smiled and looked at Merle as Daryl sat. "Think you got her good."

Merle chuckles and smiles. "Good, want her to know I'm the only one she should be thinkin of right lil brother?"

Daryl nods as Carol comes back with his plate.

"Who's on watch?" Daryl looks up from eating. "Merle and the sperm donor."

Kathryn makes a gaging noise, Daryl smirks at her as Merle chuckles.

"Don't ya worry lil' sis, He says anything, I'll kick his ass." Kathryn smiles and nods.

It was nice to know her knew family had her back; she even forgave her aunt Sheryl.

Her and Rick had become really close for some time now.

Once dinner was finished her mother took her and the babies outside.

They helped Rick, her father, Carl, and her aunt with the garden.

The twins squeal as they play with some of the toys Daryl had found.

Kathryn looks up from planting tomato seeds, she sighs and looks around.

She notices Daryl's bike was gone. "Where did Daryl go?"

Her mother looks up and smiles. "He and Michonne had to do a quick run."

She blinks, wondering if something special happening.

Her eyes widen. "Oh my god...it's our one year..." Kathryn stops planting.

"What am I gonna do? I can't just go out there..." Biting her lip, she starts pacing.

Her mother stops her. "Breath, he wants to do this for you, just for you."

Kathryn sighs and nods feeling bad, going back to what she's doing.

Anna and her mother storm down the field.

Kathryn groans. "You bitch! Anna told me you threatened her! And stole the man she has a crush on!"

Anna's mother gets in her face. "You like threatening people? You know I never liked you. I just put up with you because of your father."

Kathryn raises an eyebrow. "You mean sperm donor? Well that's ok, I didn't like you or your daughter. I have a better father then that man anyway, so you best get the hell out of my face."

That's when the twins started crying; Kathryn turns and sees Anna yelling at them to shut up.

"Get away from my babies you bitch!" Kathryn storms over and roughly pushes the woman away.

"Don't mess with my family!" Rick tries to stop the fight before it progresses.

Kathryn's mother picks the twins up; Daryl had arrived back in time to see his wife in Anna's face.

Anna slapped Kathryn as he was walked towards them, which turned into a power run.

Kathryn's eyes burn with evil intent as she goes to hit the blonde bitch.

Daryl grabs her wrist. "No ya do this and ya let them win, walk away darlin."

Kathryn takes a deep breath and nods. "You're right, I'm sorry hunny.

She sighs as Daryl takes Joe and wraps his arm around her waist.

Kathryn takes Chrissi when they turn to go back to the prison, Daryl stops. "Ya best leave ma family alone next time, there will be hell ta pay."

Anna's mother glares at them as they walk away.
