Childhood friends to lovers (daryl dixon)

The Warlords

I'm sitting in my bed wide awake as Rose sleeps peacefully beside me. She has been crying more than often. I think she misses her daddy just as much as me. It pisses me off how he left us here. Not that I don't love hilltop or Maggie. It's just we're supposed to be a family meaning together. God he reminds me of my father, always leaving. But then again that was always a good thing when he was gone. Daryls just always leaving us behind, always leaving me behind. We've been a team for so long, I'm just tired of being alone. I want to wake up to him beside me everyday. Showering me with love, showering baby girl with love. I want us to be a normal family. Although now days normal is now where to be seen; not that it ever was. Maybe I just thought after we got together things would be different. Even more different when we had a kid and these rings. I start playing with my ring. All the shit we've been through, I just fucking figured we'd stay together more. I don't know I just this little bit of anger in me towards Daryl. I run my hands through my hair gripping slightly. Everything is just stressing me the fuck out.

I hear crying from beside me. I rub my eyes and look over at Rosalina. She's sitting straight up just bawling her eyes out. I sit up quickly and grab her. "Oh baby what's wrong huh?" I feel her diaper but it's completely dry. "Hmm? Are you hungry baby?" I get up going over to my bags and grab out some formula out and start heading down stairs hopefully not waking everyone up. I start bouncing her in my arms in hope of calming her down. I finally get the bottle ready and hold it up to her. She starts calming down and starts drinking from the bottle. I sigh out of relief and head back up stairs where I hear Maggie and some others. "We're not going." "Maggie he died begging for our help." "I understand it. We're barely holding in as is." "Someone we know must have sent them." "Or it could be a trap. We go to help and leave the hilltop open to attack." "I don't think it's a trick. He was scared, he wasn't lying." "Even if he wasn't, we can't go up against another group, without the people to fight." "What happened to taking in whoever was in need? Being out numbered has never stopped you before." "Maybe it should have." "We're barely holding on. It sounds like these people are too. It's exactly who my mother would of targeted and I helped. I'm not letting it happen to someone else." "So your not leaving?" What Lydia's leaving? "I am, I just uh... have to help these people first." Lydia and some others walk past me. I walk up to Maggie. "What happened?" I ask leaning against the table. "Someone came to us and was shot asking for help." "Oh god." I look at the map and back up to her. "What are you thinking?" She sighs "I'm thinking it's a trap but I don't know." "What's the plan." She runs her hands through her hair. "Guess I'm going." "Alright I'm in." She shakes her head "No your not. Daryl put your life and Roses in my hands and I'm not gonna left nothing happen." I roll my eyes "I can take care of us Maggie. Plus there are people here I trust to watch after her. I'm going, I haven't done shit in so long I miss it." I give her my best puppy dog eyes. "Please Maggie!" She now rolls her eyes at me "fine let's go." I bite my lip and smile. I go and get ready leaving baby girl with some of the older women. "Alright princess mommys gone be back shortly I promise!" I kiss her head and hug her tightly. "You be good for these lady's here." I hand her off. "If she gets really fussy there's a stuffed animal in my room that should calm her down for the most part." I say to one of the lady's named Kristen. "I'll keep good care of her y/n." "Thank you." Never realized how hard it is to leave my baby behind. I say walking away and getting in the truck. Maggie and Lydia start talking about the commonwealth. I'm so tired of hearing about them. "Tell her y/n." I hear Maggie say. I look at her through the mirror. "I'm not gonna lie I didn't hear that whole conversation. But the commonwealth is.... It's something that's all I got to say." Maggie looks back at me with a bit of a glare for not helping her out. "WATCH OUT." I gasp as Maggie slams on the brakes. There's three soldier zombies from the commonwealth. "What the hell." I say getting out grabbing my sword. We kill all three of them. "What the hell happened?" Lydia asks and I shrug my shoulders. We then hear screaming. "Maggie." Maggie pulls out her binoculars and looks out. "It's Aaron."
Aaron tells us the story of what happened with him and Gabriel at this little community. Maggie pulls out a map, "this the best way to get in?" Aaron gives her a confused look "yeah... but how did you get that?" "You gave it to the rider that came to hilltop." Aaron shakes his head, "no I didn't." I look at Maggie "who the hell did then?" I ask. "Looks like we're going in." Maggie says. We make our way in killing the solders guarding the area. I keep my sword close to me as we hear screaming coming from everywhere. I split off with Maggie and Aaron as we make our way through. "You move, you die." I hear as I turn to Maggie. A girl had a gun to her back. "Drop your weapons." Lydia and them come up behind her. "You first." "Not happening." "We're here to help." "Who are you." "Her name is Maggie." Negan walks in. "Everybody. Let's put our shit back in our pants and zip it up." Everyone drops their weapons. I smile looking at Negan. He looks at me, "hey kiddo." "What are you doing here?" Lydia asks hun kinda shocked that he's here. "We live here." "So what now?" "They have Gabriel." "No they don't." Negan says and leads us through a secret passage. They ask about the stolen convoy and guns. "We didn't do it." "Yeah then who did?" "It doesn't matter. We need to get out of here." "We're not leaving. Not with our people still hiding." "What's the plan." "We split up and sweep each floor." Maggie looks at me and I nod my head. "Okay we're in." "Let's go." Negan says the girl turns to him. "No they need someone they trust to protect them." She looks at Maggie "she comes with me." Maggie and the girl leaves. "You left without a word." "It's what everyone needed." "How'd you find them. What is she to you?" Negan holds up his finger. "Your married?" I ask looking at him shocked. Never thought he would of gotten over his passed wife. "It's crazy right?" "Pfft." I hold up my finger too, "very crazy." I say smiling. "You being here fits. You have a hand in putting those skulls on the shelf?" "Says the guy that rolled up with the gestapo." "We didn't know. The place we're living at now is different." "No it's not." I say shaking my head. "Why do you think Daryl left me at hilltop." "Their like the whispers, just wearing different masks." "Negan do you copy?" "Yeah where are you?" " fifth floor. The soldiers are spread out out windows are closing. Look tell them others to move." "Copy that." "Hey is Maggie still with you?" "She is." Negan starts to studded. "Don't worry." Negan looks outside. "Ahh shit." Negan grips my hand. "What is it?" I say being dragged. I get into a room and see Hershel. "Oh my god what the hell are you doing here? Your moms gonna kill your." "Annie you still there?" "Yeah?" "I found someone." "Who." "Maggie's kid." I hear Maggie in the radio. "Come on baby." I say picking him up and taking him back to the hideout. Negan comes into the room. "My mom said stay away from you." "Your moms a very smart person." "Why does she hate you so much?" "For a bad thing I did." "Are you a bad man?" "Used to be." I hear a gun, I look back and see Hershel pointing a gun at him. I stand there in shock. "My mom said a bad man killed my dad. It was you wasn't it?" I bite my lip as I feel my eyes start to water. "Yeah. It was me. Look kid what I took away from you and your mom, even y/n." He says looking at me slightly. "There is nothing I can say that is gonna make that better. And I know you wanna pull that trigger and I don't blame you. The thing is if you do the bad people are gonna know where we're hiding. Maybe I deserve beat I did to your dad, to your family but these people here they don't." Hershel lowers the gun. I take it from him, and he runs off. I look at Negan with a few tears down my face. I go after Hershel and see I'm sitting down against the wall. I sit down beside him
And start hugging him. "It's okay baby boy." I say trying my best to comfort him.
We finally got everyone killed. "Now what?" "It's only a matter of time before they come for them." "It's all about the guns." "Well if they didn't take them who did?" I ask them. "I don't know." "We have to do something."
