"something is going on" I said to Daryl.

"what do you mean?" he asked looking confused.

"I don't know but things aren't adding up. Glenn, Maggie and Dale are having hushed conversations, not together though separately. Glenn and Lori have clearly had a row because Glenn has been snapping at her. He doesn't want to speak to her clearly." I said.

" so what do you thinks happened? " Daryl asked.

" I'm not quite sure, but It will all come out sooner or later" I replied.

I was still not allowed to go looking for Sophia, so I was playing mother hen to the camp. Daryl was getting stronger by the day, he was still in a lot of pain but he was getting around alot better.

Hershal was slowly coming round to us being there, and I was a big part of that. He reminded me of my dad alot, he was caring and protected his girls at all costs.

I was getting water from the well with Tdog when I heard shouting from in the direction of the camp.

"what's going on?" I asked him looking confused.

"no clue, theres always something going on" he said rolling his eyes.

We loaded the trolley up and headed back to the camp.

Glenn and Maggie had been on a run, they seemed to be back and Maggie was kicking off at Lori. I couldn't hear what was being said, but I saw Maggie storm off with Glenn closely behind.

I didn't want to ask Lori, so I decieded to wait until I got Maggie on her own. I shared out the water for everyone, washing and then cooking. I had some sachets of koolaid that I added to mine and Daryls water bottle. I went inside the tent, to find him reading one of my books.

"did you hear the drama?" he asked. This made me laugh, because it was such a me thing to say, clearly I was rubbing off on him.

"I saw it all kicking off, but I didn't catch what it was about" I replied.

"Well from what I can gather, Lori asked Glenn to get something on the sly and it caused Glenn to almost get killed whilst getting it" Daryl replied.

I loved this for Daryl because he always stayed out if everyone's business and didn't care for the gossip but he loved it now. Being laid up in bed for a few day's had gotten boring for him, so he loved this bit of excitement.

"Did she say what it was?" I asked.

"I can't be 100 percent certain but I'm sure Maggie said abortion pills" he said

"WHAT? how sure are you?" I asked

"like 90 percent" he replied.

"I get that it's not the best world to be bringing a baby into, but they've been trying for a baby for ages, why would she want to get rid?" I asked, which was really a question for myself, but Daryl answered it anyway.

"Because she probably doesn't know who the Father is" he nodded.

Fuck sake Daryl was right. Clearly there were two potential fathers, Rick or Shane.

I went to the bed and gave Daryl a kiss. "I have trained you well" I giggled.

"surely I deserve a reward for being such a good boy" he grinned.

"maybe, but later" I winked.

"I look forward to it" he smiled sheepishly.

I went to the RV where Carol was sat sewing some clothes.

"I'm going to start Dinner" I said.

"what was all that yelling about?" she asked.

"Not sure, I was down by the wells, someone else is probably sick of Lori's shit" I half laughed. Carol did a little grin and started back on her sewing.

I was sick to death of stews, but that morning I had gone with Beth and her step mom to collect salad and eggs. The pervious day I made a batch of bread, so I was making egg salad sandwiches with some chips. It wasn't a massive feast but it was going ti be a tasty one.

I started slicing up bread and cutting up the salad, whilst the eggs were boiling. As I was preparing I noticed people were arriving back from their day searching. I saw Shane who was very much still sporting the bruises Daryl had inflicted on him. He stared at me through the window but I ignored him.

Rick came by to see if there had been any problems that day.

"none to speak of, except Lori and Maggie had a row" I said, trying to act like it was nothing.

"Really, what about?" he asked.

"not sure you will have to ask Lori, I was down by the wells so didn't hear what was said just the arguing" I replied

"ok I will sort it" he smiled.

"get washed up dinner will be ready very soon" I said, as he rushed out of the RV.

I began assembling the sandwiches when Glenn came in the RV.

"hey" I smiled.

"hey Mia could I have a chat with you later, after dinner?" he asked.

"yeah sure, am I in trouble?" I asked.

"no nothing like that, I just need advice on something" he replied.

"sure no problem" I smiled.

Once I had made all the sandwiches I called everyone up to the RV. I handed them plates with sandwiches on, asked which flavour chips and sent them on their way.

"you should run a food truck" Tdog laughed as he collected his food.

Shane was next and I just handed him his because I knew what chips he liked. He muttered thank you and walked off.

Once every one had got their food I took mine and Daryls over to the tent.

"thank you beautiful" he said as I passed his to him.

"I'm going out tomorrow, I can't stay here all the time, I feel much better" I sighed.

"well I'm not going to argue with you, but I think you should just go on a supply run first, before you go climbing quarrys and streams" he said.

I rolled my eyes, I didn't argue because I knew what he was saying was true. We were also running low on a few things and it would be nice to just get away from everyone for a few hours.

"You coming with me?" I asked.

"I will try" he said.

"well you will have to because you won't let me go alone and I won't go with anyone else" I said.

"you will have to go with Glenn or Tdog" he said.

"no never" I frowned.

He laughed and didn't say anything else. After we had eaten Daryl took our plates and washed up.

I had a quick wash and got changed into comfy clothes. I did me a back pack for my outing, with everything I would need. Weapons, water few snacks ammo for my gun. Daryl came in the tent as I was just finishing up.

"you sure that you're ready to go out?" he asked.

"of course I am. I'm sick to death of playing house wife whilst everyones getting on with shit" I said.

"okay I don't want to argue with you, but I don't think I can go with you" he sighed.

" that's fine I can go by myself" I replied.

"this is where we are going to argue, you shouldn't be out there by yourself."

"look I wont go far I just need to get out there" I said.

"Rick won't allow it" he said.

"that is why we won't be telling him" I snapped.

Daryl shook his head and climbed into bed, "this is a big mistake Mia, I can feel it"

"don't be so dramatic I will be fine" I snapped.

Daryl kept me up most of the night tossing and turning, he obviously had anxiety about me going out alone, but I had made my mind up I was going out as soon as the rest had left.
