"We are here today to say goodbye to Tyreese, a comrade, a brother, a lover, a friend but mostly a family member, at this sad time we are reminded that nothing in this world will last for ever, that life is shorter than ever, but if we are righteous we will prevail. He was a good man who brought strength to all of us, he brought warmth to the children of our community, he loved each and everyone of them, as Sasha said being the biggest child of them all." Everyone smiled at Hershel's words. The group gathered together around the grave, Daryl had been out there all morning digging by himself, doing his mourning his way, now he stood at the back of the crowd with Beth by his side both silent, no signs of emotion for their missing friend.

The funeral was breaking up now people speaking to Sasha and Karen quietly, giving them their condolences, Beth and Daryl continued to stand still not acknowledging anyone, both staring at the floor carrying their heavy consciences, tears brimmed in Beth's eyes but refused to fall, Daryl stood like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulder's they blamed their selves for the death of their friend, if they hadn't been in the locker room, messing around with each other instead of concentrating on their jobs, because everyone has a job to do, Tyreese would still be here with them all, loving Karen, looking after his sister Sasha. When everyone had left Daryl and Beth picked up a shovel each and began to fill in the grave, using the physical pain to punish themselves for their selfishness, neither speaking or acknowledging the other until the task was done.

"No more" Beth said looking down at Tyreese's grave, "No more Daryl." he looked side ways at her.

"No more Beth, No more." he knew they had made a vowel to protect their family, loose no more if they could do anything to make that happen.

"You need to train me in everything you know, two of us will be better than one." she acknowledged, Daryl nodded at her.

"Two Dixon's instead of one, was always the best choice." he replied looking down at the fresh grave.

"Two Dixon's instead of one." Beth agreed, Daryl allowed a small smile turn the corner of his mouth, knowing she had just agreed to his wife "Just don' go getting sloppy on me Dixon"

"I don' have a damned clue what your talking about woman, you wanna start with a bow and arrow, quieter than those guns you love so much."

"Why not, at least I will never run out of ammo." she shrugged.

Beth trained heavily for months, between watching Judith, being on patrol, the immense amount of council meetings, Rick did enjoy talking about talking, it sometimes felt like being back in high school. She led back in the long grass giving herself some time in the sun, she closed her eyes enjoying the so called silence, the only thing making a sound was the constant groan of the walkers but everyone had slowly got used to that since the world had turned into a AMC TV show.

Beth sighed the sun warming her skin, when a knife appeared at her throat, she opened her eyes slowly, smiling up at the person with their knife at her throat. "Be aware at all times Princess." she smiled.

"You too Dixon." he looked down his body to where her hand was, with one of her throwing knives to his groin.

"Touche Sweetheart" he started to chuckle

"Get down here and kiss me now." Daryl led down next to her, taking her in his arms, he kissed her repeatedly.

"I...I really need to..." he stuttered she could see the discomfort on his face, so she led back down closing her eyes, trying to make it easier for him, she could hear his breathing steady. "I think you should...no I would like ya to...oh fer fuck sake I am so shit at this stuff." she peaked through her eye lids trying not to show her interest in where this conversation was going Daryl was running his fingers through his long greasy brown hair looking stupidly sexy, with his lopsided grin.

"Beth" he began again "After our talk the other day, I had to go on a run with Michonne, sure you remember, it was when we went to check out that library." Beth was trying hard to stop herself from laughing out loud, he was waffling and Daryl Dixon never waffles on about anything wasting words that's for people who are highly educated, people who wasted words to feel important, well that's what he said all the time. She started listening again and he really hadn't gotten very far apparently while looking for books to teach the youngsters to read with he had an idea, she shook her head.

"Daryl." she interrupted

"Yes." he answered sheepishly

"Babe your, well your waffling." she smiled, opening her eyes she saw he was biting the skin on his thumb really hard, she pulled his hand from his mouth "It's only me Daryl." she said.

"Hummm, well I would like it if you came with me to see Rick." he said, Beth thought for a moment, this was all a bit weird, but she would go along with it as it seemed very important to him and he really was struggling with this moment in time. Beth jumped up looking at him still on the ground and held her hand out to him.

"Take me to your leader" doing her best impression of a robot, Daryl chuckled.

When they walked into the main room Beth was taken back, there were pots of wild flowers dotted around the room, she smiled at the homely feeling it gave the room, turning around she saw Maggie, Glenn and Hershel were stood in the doorway to the cell block, then she spotted Rick stood at the other end of the room, in his sheriffs clothes, even including his hat Beth was confused, more than she had ever been. The tables had been moved, perhaps she was being tested on what Daryl had been teaching her, well she was ready for what ever they threw at her, she knew she had been a good student, braving it she dropped Daryl's hand and walked up to Rick.

"Well ready when you are." she said to him, he looked over her shoulder to Daryl.

"Umm don't ya want to get changed first?" he asked

"Can't see why" she shrugged turning to Daryl "I don't mean to be rude, but will some one please tell me what the hell is going on.?" she asked him, she then heard Glenn start to laugh really loud, looking at him she saw her sister slap his arm.

"You so owe me" he said to Maggie "I said he would go to all this trouble and forget too tell her." he tried to stifle his giggling when Daryl glared at him. Maggie stepped up to them and smiled at them.

"Beth I know he has tried, damn you two were out there long enough." she playfully slapped his arm "Mr Brave heart here." she tipped her head towards him "has secretly spent that last few months going on runs with Michonne while you trained, practice setting all this up, use your imagination Beth what do you think he has been doing?"

"I don'..." she looked again then it hit her "Daryl?" she was suddenly overwhelmed "You have, oh my god, you have..." she swallowed the lump in her throat, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Yes" was all he said "well if ya still wanna?" he was chewing his thumb again, putting himself on the line, she could see how scared he was of her rejecting him.

"Oh Daryl, of course, oh my god" she threw herself at him and he brought her in with a sigh of relief.

"Come on then sis, you so gotta see what this sneak has brought in here, oh ladies!" she shouted and Sasha, Karen and Michonne appeared suddenly out of the cell bloke.

"Were having a wedding." grabbing Beth she went like a whirl wind out the main room and into the cell block.
