Childhood friends to lovers (daryl dixon)

Please promise me

It's been some weeks since I've woken up. It's been amazing, I've spent the whole time with Daryl and Rosalina mainly. We would take walks around, sit and watch Daryl help build, anything to just spend time with each other. Daryls leaving tomorrow for that run they have been talking about. They have been putting it off since Daryl wanted to spend time with me but we can't delay it any longer. I'd love to go with them but my responsibility is here now. I've got my baby girl to look after. Maggie asked me to look after Hershel while she goes too. I'll just be on kid duty basically and I don't have a problem with that at all.
I still haven't slept sadly and it's getting harder. Princess has been waking up a few times crying. I've tried everything to figure out what's wrong but I think it's just a nightmare. I've tried changing her diaper, feeding her, everything I can think of. She usually calms down after a while in the rocking chair with me. Here she is crying again. I get up quickly taking her out of the room before she wakes Daryl. "It's ok princess." I say patter her back as I make my way to the chair downstairs. I sit down and get her comfortable in my arms and start rocking slowly. "You'll stop one day. It will be ok. Just one day at a time." I say rubbing her cheek to calm her down. She finally starts to calm down sticking her thumb in her mouth. I lean my head back closing my eyes to get some kind of rest. I sit there the rest of the night just slowly rocking her. I finally see Daryl come down the stairs. "She woke up again?" I nod my head. "Baby you look sleepy as hell. You really need to sleep." "I'm fine Daryl. Plus I can't really sleep, I've got to keep her happy and good." I say looking down at Rosalina still sleeping in my arms. "Babe you have bags under your eyes. Come on to bed." "I told you I was fine Daryl. I've stayed up longer than this I can manage." "That's what I'm worried about y/n. You like to stay up and fuck up your mental health and shit." I glare at him "you have no room to talk Daryl. You stay up for long periods of time too. We're not gonna argue over weather I should sleep or not. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be washing up our kid to clean and get her ready for the last day she'll get to see her father before he leaves for god knows how long." I say walking past him and to our room. I wake Rosalina up while I run the bath water. I get her undressed along with myself. I step in the bathtub carefully not to slip with her in my arms. I start cupping water with my hand and covering her. The bathroom door opens and Daryl comes in. He gets undressed and sits in the opposite side of the tub. I pour a little soap on a rag and start washing her. "My girls are cute." I hear Daryl say. I look at him and sigh "I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to snap like that." "It's fine baby, I get it. You've been up for what a week? Dealing with everything." "I feel guilty now." He smiles "babe, I've had to deal with you my whole life you think that one little so called argument is gonna bother me? Come on we've had worse ones. Now give me my princess!" I roll my eyes and pass her over to Daryl. She rubs her eyes and clings onto Daryl. "Aw is my princess still sleepy? Momma wake her up to early?" "Why do I feel like I'm being ganged up on again?" Daryl laughs "because you are!" I gasp "hey baby girl do the thing!" I say sticking my tongue out. Rosalina looks at me and sticks her tongue out. I start laughing and she smiles. "Did you really teach her that?" I continue to laugh "I did and I'm proud of it!" "God I'm in trouble. You got mamas attitude little over!" He says point her tummy. I lean forward and kiss her cheek "and she's gonna be the next bad ass girl here!"
After the bath I go down stairs as Daryl brings Rosalina down. "You gonna breast feed her?" "Mmm might as well, milks there for a reason." He hands me her as I sit down and lift my shirt. Daryl sits on the couch as Maggie comes down the stairs. "Good morning guys!" "Good morning!" I Yelp slightly as Rosalina bites me. "What?" Maggie asks me. I pull Rosalina off putting my finger in her mouth feeling parts of teeth. "No wonder she's been waking up crying. Her teeth are coming in, she fucking bit my boob." Daryl laughs "maybe she's more like her daddy than you think." I glare at him and let her go back at it. "That shit fucking hurt." "Do we not have a teether or paci?" Maggie asks looking at me and I look at Daryl. "A what?" He asks confused "you know the little things babies suck on." I say and Daryl get up and goes outside. I look at Maggie "well, I guess we broke him." She laughs and plops on the couch. "Hershel never bite me." "Lucky Maggie that shit hurt. She bit hard too." "I bet you don't complain when Daryl does it." "Okay but it's Daryl and I expect it from him. I wasn't expecting it from her. Poor thing, her teeth are coming in I bet that hurts." "she's growing up fast huh?" The door opens again and Daryl comes on and opens his hands. It had two pacifiers in his hands. "You mean these?" I smile and nod my head, "yeah those are pacifiers. A teether are like kinda harder, they help with the pain." "I just remember grabbing these and shoving them in my bag because I didn't know what they were." Maggie grabs the and heads up the kitchen to wash them. "I did good grabbing those?" "Absolutely! You did an amazing job big boy!" "God I love when you call me that." He says pecking my lips. "I know, that's why I say it. Maggie comes back "a trick I was thought is since we have two. We poke holes in one of then and then stick like mashed up fruit or soft foods. She'll like suck on or chew on it and it's like a snack." "Oooo, never heard of that." "Yeah it's a cool trick." She sets the pacifiers down and a bottle with apple juice in it. I pull her from my chest and wipe her face. I hold up an orange paci to her and she immediately takes it. I smile and stand up "daily walk?" Daryl asks me and I nod my head. He grabs my hand and walks outside with me. I enjoy going on these walks, just us most times relaxing as a family. I see Judith and Rj on their porch and I drag Daryl over. "Y/n!" Rj says excited. "Hey baby boy!" "Daily walk?" Judith asks and I nod my head. "Y'all wanna come with?" "Can I hold Rosalina?" Judith asks and I nod my head. I hand her Rosalina and I instantly get flashbacks of Carl holding Judith when she was younger. I smile as I pick up Rj "lets go!" We start walking and talking about all kinds of things. "Negan!" Judith yells walking over to him. I put Rj down to go with them. "She reminds me of Carl when she hold princess." "Yeah when he used to hold her?" I nod my head. "Wish he was here to meet her, and Rick." He snakes an arm around my waist from the side and kisses my head. "I know baby girl. I'm sure their proud of us and them." "I sure hope so." Negan waved at us and I smile and wave back. "I'm gonna miss you tomorrow." "I don't have to go." "Yes you do. They need you." "Well I have a family now that needs me." "You know your gonna go." He sighs "we do need stuff huh?" I nod my head. "Don't worry I'll hold it down here." "You sure you can handle that?" I gasp and pull away from him "you think I can't handle it? Honey I've had to handle you my whole life. This will be a breeze." I say smiling putting my hands on my hips. "Yeah?" "Yup." "Can you handle this?" He suddenly picks me up throwing me over his shoulder. I Yelp "Daryl Dixon put me down." "Thought you can handle it?" "I can!" "Yeah I see that." He laughs. I move my hand to his ass and pinch it and he drops me. "Ow what the hell." I say sitting up rubbing my head. "You pinched my ass what do you expect?" I move my hand from my head and see red liquid. I frown and show him. "Shit, come on." He picks me up again "don't drop me!" He walks over to where the kids are. "Hey Negan can you watch them for a second Daryl dropped me and needs to take me to medical." "Daryl! Why'd you do that?" Judith asks "because she's the devil and pinched my ass!" I chuckle a bit as he walks away "you know you liked it daryl!" I hear Negan yell and I bust out laughing. "For the record y/n I didn't like it." "Imma start slapping your ass now." He takes me to get my head wrapped. Once I'm done and he turns around I slap his ass. He turns around and glares at me. "Your into it I know it." "I will drop you again." I grip my chest "that hurts my heart dixon." He kisses my forehead "you can't fix everything with a kiss Daryl." "Why not?" "Not how it works." "Should be how it works." I throw my arms up "you should give me piggy back ride." "Why should I?" "You hurt me." He rolls his eyes "Come on." He turns around and I smile and get on his back. "Just like old times huh?" "Yesss!!!" He walks us back to the kids. "Y/n I think your the perfect person to handle the kids, look at you. Just a big kid!" Negan says smiling while holding Rosalina. "Hey! Why walk to places when I have a big strong man to carry me around!" "Your trying to suck up to me huh?" Daryl asks and I smile and kiss his cheek. "Nah I don't have to do that!"
It was a long fun day today. Just having out with the kids and Daryl. Seeing him so soft with them it's so cute. I finally got princess down and I'm crawling in bed. I get on Daryl as he is laying down. "You promise me you'll come back?" I ask him "what do you mean?" "You promise me you'll come back home alive from the trip?" "Babe you know I can't." I frown "I know." I say softly.  "I'll tell you I can try my fucking hardest to come home to my two girls." I feel tears start to slip, he lifts my head up by my chin. "Why you crying baby girl?" "I'm just worried." He wipes my face "please don't worry, i will try my hardest to come home." "I can't help but to worry Daryl. The trips you always go on last longer than just a few days and the thoughts always come in my head and I can't get away from them." He kisses me "don't think about it. Think about princess over there. Think about Judith and Rj. And Hershel. You've got to watch them." "Yeah what happens if I have to tell then why you didn't come home?" "You won't have to you hear me? Stop all this nonsense, I'll come home. And I'll come with all kinds of stuff." He starts rubbing my back. "You won't have to worry about it. I promise that."
