The redneck has feelings? (daryl dixon love story)

Chapter 89

Kayla's pov

"awww come on!" Carl whined.

"I told ya you couldn't beat me" I chuckled.

"but that's 6 times In a row!" He whined.

"guess I'm the tic tac to champion" I laughed.

"Not fair" he grunted as he looked at all of our games we had played on our wall.

We made sure we played around the KR+DD and the forever and ever. This was mine and Carl's wall and I loved it. Plus it was a great distraction for me since daryl was on watch along with Rick. I knew if Carl wasn't distracting me I'd be bored and worrying about the two. Ya they were just in watch, but when I can't see daryl, I worry.

"I want a rematch!" He declared.

i was about to respond when elaina started crying. I sighed,

"and that's my cue."

"Awww man!" He whined.

i got up and chuckled at his reaction while ruffling his hair. I walked over to the crib and picked her up while beginning to rock her and try to get her back to sleep. Carl remained sitting by our wall smiling at me as I smiled back.

"Hey" we both looked to see Merle standing in the doorway. "Everything alright? I heard cryin"

i smiled,"ya, elaina just woke up"

he nodded and left the cell. Merle had been coming by a lot tonight. He tried to be sneaky and not be seen while Carl and I were playin, but I knew he was there. Daryl probably asked him to keep an eye on us which I was thankful for. Especially with Tom being here. Carl started to yawn and I smiled,

"why don't ya go to bed bub?"

He smiled, "think I will, but tomorrow I want my rematch"

"whatever you say Carl goodnight." I smiled.

he walked by me and left the cell. I finally got elaina settled down and back to sleep, thankful Connor didn't wake up. I was so tired and It was getting late. I started to lay down, but then I remembered daryl hadn't eaten today. At all. I sighed and got up, walking to the kitchen area. If I didn't get him something he'd never eat.

Merles pov

Babysitting. That's what I've been resorted to. Bullshit. Wish we could just kill the prick now and wouldn't even have to be worryin bout this shit. It was starting to get late, everyone was asleep, and I decided to walk by toms cell. I smirked at myself thinkin of the job daryl did on his face. I sure did teach my little brother pretty damn well. I peaked into his cell and froze, he wasn't there. I was about to run and tell daryl, but then I thought where he might be. He best pray he isn't where I think he is. I quickly ran to Kayla's cell. I ran to the two cribs, the twins were fine sleepin away, but when I turned to the cot. Nothing. She wasn't there. O man will daryl be pissed! I quickly ran out of the cell ready to go after the prick when I heard something in the kitchen. I snuck around the corner to get a better view and relaxed when I saw her. Dammit woman! What the hell is she doin! I walked around the corner and leaned on the doorway,

"The hell ya doin up little sis?"

I chuckled when she jumped at the sound of my voice. When she saw it was me, she rolled her eyes and went back to grabbing some of the meat we had for dinner. I walked up next to her. She was fillin up a bowl pretty damn good,

"damn girl, you really that hungry?" I joked.

she turned to me,"it's not for me, it's for your brother. He hasn't eaten at all today."
