Merle may have lost his sense of direction but not his loyalty to his brother and tries to make Daryl see sense...

Bet you all thought I'd forgotten about Carol's little passenger didn't you? They may have gotten all hot and heavy after Daryl rescued her from the tombs but their first kiss wasn't until she welcomed him home.
Just a little note to the guest reviewer who stated that I'd written in too much emotion for chapter 3; this story was never intended to be a strict reinterpretation of the TV episodes, I mean – Carol's pregnant in my story for one thing! Thank you for taking the time to read it anyway and to post your honest opinion.
This last chapter was written especially for my followers and frequent reviewers over on FanFiction - I hope they have accounts over here too...Kawinki, majsamoneill and Georgiapeachs – thanks guys for your support in all of my little tales; Cherokee-rose-girl; thanks for all the PM's – I hope the awkward moments of romance Dixon style fits the bill...
