Rick, Lori and Carl would be taking the master bedroom, Carol would be taking one of the smaller bedrooms, Hershel and Beth would be taking the room with two twin beds and Nina, Daryl and Daphne would be taking the last upstairs room.
Glenn and Maggie were taking the only basement bedroom and T-Dog was taking the pullout couch.
Obviously Nina did not get to choose her roommate, that was Rick, Glenn and T-Dog.
Just because Nina and Daryl weren't on the best terms doesn't mean Nina was going to be a dick or anything, or act cold, she was going to treat him like any other person.
Daryl drops his sleeping bag on the floor from behind Nina, the mother setting up the bed. Nina rolls her eyes at the sound. "You're not sleeping on the floor." Daryl looks up, just now noticing she was fluffing both of the pillows.
"I'm not letting you." She pauses in her actions, looking down at her hands.
Daphne's soft breaths are the only sound in the quiet room. The baby girl was sleeping in the crib they dragged in from one of the rooms.
"But you're not sleeping in the bed with your day clothes. There's clean clothes in the bathroom." Nina found some boxer shorts and a black tank top in one of the drawers when she was looking for pajamas. It was a pet peeve of hers, people in their nasty clothing on a bed- especially one she's in.
She was not about to let him sleep in the same bed as her in those dirty ass clothes that's covered in god only knows what.
When Daryl gets back from the washroom Nina is sitting up in the bed while reading a book, the candle on the nightstand gives her just enough light to see the words on the pages. Dixon climbs in and lies on his side, his back facing her as he closes his eyes and tries to sleep.
After a few more minutes Nina closes the book after memorizing her page number and blows out the candle, leaving the moon to illuminate the cozy room. Her back faces his.
Barely a moment later Daphne's silent cries make them both snap up thinking the worst. They rush to the crib, she must've had some sort of baby nightmare, it was hard to forget the faces that snapped at you for a taste.
Nina picks her up swaying side to side and whispering soothing words to her daughter. When she calms down Nina and Daryl sit on the bed, resting their backs on the backboard.
The two adults coo at her, both of them holding one of the baby's hands. Daphne claps her closed fists, making their hands touch. Daphne stares at the two, nothing but adoration in her eyes as she looks at her parents.
Nina's free hand slips into Daryl's, intertwining their fingers and he gives her hand a squeeze. They lay down again, this time facing each other with a now sleeping Daphne in between them but their hands never break apart.
Nina smiles at him in the dark, the moon allowing him to see her face as she closes her eyes with a happy grin. He falls asleep soon after her, sleeping peacefully for the first time in a long time knowing his family was safe.
Waking up Nina found the bed empty making her quickly sit up, her heart clenching in worry for her daughter and Daryl as a spike of panic jolted in her chest.
Said man walks in with a changed Daphne arm, still in the clothes he slept in.
"Sorry. Didn't wanna wake ya up, did we?" He bounced Daphne, brushing her growing curls out of her face and getting a gleeful giggle in return.
Nina can't stop the safe feeling that always entraps her when it's just the three of them, it's hard to hold a grudge when he walks in like this. She gets out of the bed and makes her side before walking up to them. "Was she fussy?" She asks, smiling down at her baby.
"Nah, just needed to be changed." He hands her Daphne who grabs at her shirt, letting the mother know she was hungry. Daryl leaves to let her feed the baby.
After feeding her daughter she walks downstairs, everyone well rested from sleeping on a proper bed and not having to wake up every twenty minutes because of a noise. "Morning," Everyone greets her when they see her coming down the stairs. She greets them back before walking over to Rick who stands in the kitchen at the table.
"Hey. I was thinking-"
"-That's never good." Rick says absentmindedly while cleaning his gun.
"Don't be a dick," She tells him with a warning smile. He glances up at her with a smirk and goes back to his gun.
"I was thinking that maybe I could go out, get some breakfast for everyone."
"It really is never good." He mutters. He looks her in the eye, "You can't."
"What do you mean I can't?" She squints her eyes at him. What the hell was he talking about? Of course she can, she's more than capable.
"Well- it's just that-" Rick stutters, quickly looking at Glenn when he walks in the room with T. "-Glenn wouldn't allow you." He says, not wanting to feel her wrath on his own.
"Allow what?" Glenn asks, glancing at the two with pursed lips. He wonders what he had just walked in on blindly, all he wanted was to know when breakfast would be.
"Let me go out to get food." She sighs exasperated. Nina is a grown woman for Christs sake, why are these guys making her own decisions?
"Oh, yeah. No." He shakes his head, taking out his own gun to clean.
"Wha-" She looks at T-Dog for his input on the situation.
"No way." He sees the look on her face and makes his escape. T chuckles and pats her head then walks out of the room.
"Why? Give me three good, reasonable answers and I'll back off." She looks between the two of them, the two men glancing at each other and back at Nina.
"You-" Glenn hangs his head trying to think of one. "You need to stay for Daphne." He snaps his fingers. Rick nods.
"Two more." She challenges.
After a moment of not getting anything back she gives up, shoulders dropping in defeat. "Fine. I'll just go take a braid my hair or something." She sneers at them and walks off back upstairs to her room.
Rick had a son and a pregnant wife and he got to contribute to the group. Why couldn't she?
Fifteen minutes go by since Nina stormed off leaving the three men to feel slightly guilty. They just wanted to keep her safe, but maybe they were being overbearing instead. She was a grown woman who could make her own decisions but that didn't mean they weren't going to be protective over her. Nina does have a baby to worry about, but that shouldn't mean she can't be as much help as everyone else.
After talking to the other women of the group they came to realize she was upset because she just wanted to help the group and that she wanted to go out for supply runs like Glenn or Daryl.
Walking up to her room Rick knocks on the door. "Neens? You in there?"
Not getting a response wasn't surprising since she seemed pretty irritated, no doubt ignoring them, but something was telling the three to open the door. The bed unmade and the blanket corner tossed to look like maybe she took a nap too.
They turn to the shared bathroom and knock on the door but got nothing in return. Rick turns the knob only for it to stop. It was locked.
He knocks one more time before he rams his shoulder in the door, trying to open it and Glenn and T-Dog start kicking at it.
The door breaks down and they rush inside.
It was empty.
A/N, literally love Daphne for unintentionally pushing her parents together.
