A series of little one shots that I am writing for these lovely people who showed me the beautiful couple Bethyl.

I am overwhelmed by the response this story has gotten and thank you, I've accepted painfully that Beth may not come back but I do hope Daryl finds love this season and Maggie finds comfort.

Let's just hope Beth is alive and it was a twisted nightmare.

Bethyl on girls!

Special Thanks To: tanglingshadows, Maykits, CeCeDanielle, Guest, Giorgia from Rom, felicia2235, serenity2293, Ela and missy7293 and angelicedg. Thank you for giving me reason to write Bethyl and continue to watch TWD for Daryl.

I got a lovely message from a Caryl fan too, so Beth may be dead but I'm not against Daryl finding love with another woman, I don't think Carol because she's more like a sister or friend but I have hope that he will find happiness.

This chapter is rated M for an intimate scene. Written for Hearts1989, missy7293 and everyone else. Thank you jamiek45 for helping me out.

Faith And Hope

Chapter 4

When Glenn and Maggie announced that they were expecting their first child as they celebrated Thanksgiving, Daryl feels his stomach lurch painfully as he glanced at Beth who was hugging Maggie tightly as she congratulated her and Glenn on expecting a baby.

Did Beth wanna have a baby with him? Daryl had always wanted a family even though his own father had been a bastard to him, Merle and their momma. He was scared that he would make the same mistakes but Beth soothed away his worries.

"You'll be a wonderful father, Daryl." Beth assured him as they walked back to their cabin, it was snowing lightly but Daryl had managed to hunt a lot along with Beth who had proven herself with her own crossbow and her scythe.

"Ya really think so, Beth?" He asked quietly but Beth could hear the hope in her husband's voice as she turned to face him as they reached their cabin.

"I know so, I've seen the way you are with Judith and Carl, you love them and they love you." Beth said softly and Daryl smiled as he pressed his lips to hers as they went inside their little cabin that they called home.

They had added things over the months, cushions with sayings on them and a large bookshelf filled up with books. A white fluffy rug in front of the fire place with candles on the dark rosewood table, Beth had placed photos of the group in picture frames on the mantelpiece and had put one of her and her family and one of Daryl, his mother, Merle and their grandparents.

It showed the life they had created together with the rest of their family, Carol had become the medical doctor along with Rosita and they had made one of the cabins a mini doctor's surgery.

They kissed like they had last night, only more passionately as Beth pressed her body into his and felt his cock press against her right inner thigh making her moan his name.

"Daryl."

"Yes." He drawled trying to control himself as his hands roamed over her.

He hummed while he showered her face with kisses, and fought the urge to sigh happily when her hands trailed the contours of his body, awakening every nerve in his body, until he felt completely alive. Her soft breasts pressed against his chest through the material of her dress, and a shiver travelled through his body like an electric current.

He let his hands slide over her ass and lifted her, gently setting her down on the bed, as he made quick work of discarding his shirt to the side, as her fingers reached down to unbutton his jeans.

She loosened the buckle, undid the button and slid the zipper down. His jeans fell into a pile around his ankles and Daryl stepped out of them kicking them to the side.

Daryl laid out, flat against her, his palm running down her thigh, every part of his skin touching hers in some way, and he sighed contentedly.

"Yer so beautiful, Beth," he said as he looked at her, his hand trailing over her legs, up over her stomach, around her breasts, and finally up to settle on her cheek.

"Yer damn perfect, baby," he said as he slowly ran his hands over the fabric of her underwear, his fingers disappearing into the waistband as he slowly eased her panties down her legs. The breath caught in his throat as he teased the underwear off her, and she moaned softly, arching her back into him with need, her body aching to have him inside her. It had been so god damn long. He slid his long finger into her, finding her to be nice and wet for him, as she wriggled around underneath him.

"Oh, God, yes." Beth breathed, "Want you, baby." Her voice was needy and filled with love. Gently, he kissed her neck and eased himself inside her, burying his face in her hair as he moved deeper. Beth pushed her hips forward so that she felt her thighs press against his until they were truly, completely connected. Moving slow at first, they moved together, meeting in the middle, finding a pace that was comfortable enough to start with, but as Beth got louder, Daryl curled his fingers into hers as he picked up speed, their bodies writhing together.

Daryl kissed her bare neck as he thrust into her, pulling her leg up to his waist, so her long limbs were wrapped around him. "Mine." He breathed, kissing her shoulder, "Mine, mine, mine."

"Yours Daryl, I don't want anyone else," she moaned, as she rocked her hips against him, "No one else," her body filled with desire and she pushed harder against him, shivering as Daryl's hot mouth pressed against her neck. "Oh, you feel so good..." She trailed off, her head dropping back against the pillow, as they moved faster against each other, Daryl shifting and gripping her waist with one hand. He led a trail of kisses from her neck down her chest and over her breasts, and let his free hand drift between her legs, finding her clit and rubbing it slowly at first, enjoying hearing Beth's whimpers of pleasure. Daryl sped up and soon she was contracting around him, her fingers entwined with his squeezing hard, her breath coming out in gasps as her orgasm crashed over her.

Daryl let out a low growl as he thrust into her a few more times, before gripping her waist tightly as he came hard into her, his body jerking and shaking, as she wrapped her arms around his back, and they lay tangled up together.

They held each other as their breathing calmed down and Beth swept his fringe from his eyes as he rested his forehead against hers.

"I love you." She whispered softly, her eyes dark blue in the light created by the flames.

"I love ya too," Daryl said softly, as he tangled his fingers into her hair, and pulled her lips down to his to kiss her.

"Husband." Beth said lovingly as she kissed him.

"Wife." He said kissing her back as he cupped her face in his hands.

Daryl helped her up, and they got under the sheets as they lay together, their hot, sweaty bodies sticking to each other. But neither of them seemed to mind as they clung together tightly. Daryl kissed Beth softly, as she slowly fell asleep in his arms.

Unaware of the life, that they had created under the fireplace.
