Kayla's pov
i starred back down at the ring that now lay on my left finger. My hopes of ever having a ring on that finger, ever having a husband vanished at the start of this apocalypse. Never once did I think I was going to run into a man like daryl. He was my angel sent to me to keep me safe during this hellish world. That one ray of light at the end of the tunnel that says things will be ok. Sure he was a dirty, grumpy, stubborn redneck, but he was my dirty grumpy stubborn redneck husband. O wow, husband. That'll take some getting use to. I didnt even need a wedding. i was just happy that he was mine. I looked back up to the beautiful pair of blue eyes and smiled. He smiled back and I said,
"ya know I don't even need a wedding, this is perfect just knowing."
I lay my head on his shoulder and I felt his head rest on mine,"you deserve one. You deserve that dream weddin you talked to me about in the truck after the CDC."
i laughed,"it's impossible with the world we live in now, but really daryl it's perfect just like this."
"you know you're something." He grunted.
i looked up to him and put my arms around his neck and smiled up at him," ya but you love me and now you're stuck with me till death do us part" I laughed.
he smirked and placed his arms around my waist,"damn what the hell did I just get myself into."
i playfully punched his arm and he pretended like it hurt,
"ow! Marital abuse!"
i rolled my eyes and started walking over to Rick.
"hey Rick" I smiled.
"hey sweetheart" he smiled back kissing my forehead.
his eyes immediately went down to my ring finger and then back to eyes. He smiled and asked,
"so anything new?"
i blushed. Did he know before this? His eyes immediately went to my finger when he saw me? But wait he was over here by the car, he couldn't have seen us.
"Ummmmm I'm a dixon now." I smiled.
"congratulations. He's a good man." He smiled.
"Rick did ya know?" I asked.
his smile got bigger," ya who do you think gave him permission?"
"wait. He asked for your permission?" I asked shocked.
"yea, I thought your dad would love him. So I gave him our blessing." He was all smiles.
tears formed in my eyes. I missed my dad so much. With Rick around, it made losing him easier but I could never forget. We always use to talk about this day how whenever a guy would ask for my hand he'd have a gun ready and scare the shit out of him. We always laughed at that. Rick must have noticed my tears so he wrapped me in a hug,
"you're dad would be so proud of you." He whispered.
tears streamed down my face,"thank you Rick." I whispered into his chest.
he pulled out of the hug and wiped my tears. I smiled," I wish there was some way he'd have a ring too. So people know he's married."
"trust me hon. I guarantee no one would go after him. He is yours." He smiled.
i nodded and smiled.
"Alright now go have a girl talk with Maggie before we go. We're leavin in 10 minutes and she's been watching from the gate since ya came over here." He laughed.
i arched and eyebrow and looked back to the prison. There she was. Waiting patiently. She was about to hound me with questions.
"did you tell her?" I asked Rick.
"she forced it out of me." He laughed.
"great thanks." I rolled my eyes and he placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
i smiled and ran up to Maggie.
