Chapter 11

Chapter 11

I tried to open my eyes but the second the sun came in my head was pounding in pain. I couldn't remember what had happened, and now only knew that I was laying on the ground with a blanket over me. I heard shuffling and every muscle in my body tighten in fear, but when I thought it would get closer it seemed to get farther away. It would then come closer again, I had finally figured out it must have been Daryl pacing back and forth. I tried to open my eyes again and fought thru the pain sitting up on my elbows. Daryl was by my side the moment I got up.

"How are you feeling?" He said quickly looking over my face to see if I was alright.

"Im fine, just a head ache. What happened." I asked rubbing my temple.

"I'll tell you what happened, you passed out cause you're not eating and drinking enough. Can't go all day with barley anything and expect to be ok, your traveling for two not just yourself." He turned and grabbed a water bottle. "Drink now." He demanded. I took it and almost drank half of the water, I felt guilty about it but I knew I needed it.

"Thanks." I said as I passed it back.

"So we have an understanding right?" He asked.

"Yeah." I mumbled as I tried to get up it was harder then I thought being as weak as I was and my stomach was somewhat in the way. Daryl reached down a hand and pulled me up all the way. "But we need to keep on moving, no use in staying around here for long. We need to find food, water, shelter." I said picking up the bag from the ground.

"Whoa there, whats the rush? Also you were just passed out not but three minutes ago, why don't you take a rest." He said taking the bag from my hand.

"Rest? I was just asleep for what 4 hours? What we need is to keep moving." I said trying to grab the bag back but he moved it so it was behind him and out of reach for me. "Daryl come on this isn't funny give me the bag im fine really." I protested, he didn't budge. "Come on, we are wasting day light you're being stupid."

"Im being stupid? Well excuses me but if I remember right im not the one who thought it was smart to go all day without food while pregnant and think everything would be peaches and cream, im not the dumb one here Beth you are now sit down and take a damn rest." He half yelled tossing the bag to the ground. I tried to not laugh, but I couldn't help myself. The next thing I knew I was holding my stomach in pain from laughing so much. Daryl looked completing confused. "What are you laughing about?" he asked looking around thinking he missed something. I tried to stop laughing but my explanation just came out in between my attempts to stop.

"You.. just said.. you were.. PREGNANT!" I said bursting out laughing again. He looked even more confused now.

"What? No I didn't, I was saying that as if I was you, I wasn't saying that Im pregnant come on Beth be a little mature." He said shaking his head.

"You said it again!" I don't know why I had found this so funny but for some reason I couldn't stop laughing. Daryl didn't say anything he just looked at me with a 'really?' kind of face. It slowly because less and less funny and I realized how stupid I must have looked. After I finished laughed he just raised his eyebrows.

"You done?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said embarrassed, "Give me a break, im pregnant, I have no idea what my hormones are doing." I said with a smile. That just made him smirk, I decided he was right and I sat down on the nearest rock looking us at him. "Sacrificed?"

"Yes, here eat some of this." He said handing me some kind of meat, It smelled and looked good but I couldn't tell what it was it didn't look like anything we had had before. I started to eat it and it tasted really good.

"What kind of meat is this?" I asked as I was half way done.

"Turtle." He said back, I stopped in mid chew. I kind of laughed and looked at the meat again there was no way this was turtle.

"Ok I must have misheard you because I could have swore that you just said that this was turtle." I said with hope I had really miss heard him.

"Nope you heard me right thats turtle." He shook his head, I had suddenly lost my appetite in the thought of eating a poor little helpless turtle.

"I think I've had enough for now." I said handing him back what I didn't finish. He just laughed at this and took a bite out of what was left.

"You've never had it before have you?" He said finishing it off.

"No I haven't, and I don't think I will try it for a second time." I said trying to get the idea of what I just did out of my head.

"Well hey there isn't a lot of chooses out here nowadays." He pointed out. I just nodded my head agreeing and sat their in silence, but then I thought of something.

"Daryl, if we meet another group or camp what are we going to tell them?" I asked looking up at him.

"The truth, no use if hiding it now, if anybody were to every believe that you're not pregnant right now they would have to be blind and dumb." He said shrugging it off, I stayed quiet for a little bit more but then spoke up again.

"Are we still, dating then?" I asked looking back to him. He just gave me a puzzled look.

"As far as I knew I thought we were. You didn't brake up with me without me knowing sometime did you?"

"Noo no I just thought maybe because we weren't around all of those men anymore, you wouldn't want to..." I quietly trailed off, he just looked at me like I was going to say something else.

"Is this your way of saying you want to brake up?" He asked seriously now.

"No! Not at all, really its just I don't know. Everything is so confusing now and I just don't know, sorry. Im not trying to brake up I swear." I said embarrassed that I ever even brought it up, I felt so dumb I could make the stupidest decisions sometimes.

"Good." I heard him barley say under his breath turning around. I decided that sense Daryl was determined on having me stay here for a little while to rest we might as well make the best of it, I knew asking things about his past may not be the best thing but I feel like I've been with him for so long I can know at least about the little things.

"Soo, what did you like to do in your free time? You know before." I said starting out slow. He looked at me like I was crazy which made sense being that we'd never really talked much about our lifes before.

"Nothing you would want to hear." He said

"Just trying to made conversation." I said flatly, after a moment of silence I decided to go at it a different way.

"So how many relationships did you have before?" I was testing him now, seeing if he would really open up, he just gave me the same face as before but not so much the same answer.

"Wouldn't you like to know." He said with a slight smile.

"Well yes I would, thats why I asked dummy!" I said with a laugh trying to get the mood lighten.

"Never really dated, but that doesn't mean I didn't get what I wanted from girls tho, just means never stuck with the same one for longer then a few days."

"Why?" I asked

"Why? Cause I never had feelings for them, I wasn't a strong believer in all false shit they try and feed you thru movies and books. I didn't see it as realistic." I just looked at him waiting to see if he had caught what he just said.

"You said wasn't and didn't." I pointed out.

"Your point?"

"Well thats past tense, so naturally that would mean you don't feel like that anymore." He looked confused for a second but then it came to him and he didn't say anything just looked at the ground. "Its ok I know you aren't good with words or showing your feelings." I left it at that, after nobody saying anything Daryl spoke up.

"And what about you?" I got a little unconformable only because I was kind of embarrassed of my relationships.

"Well you knew Zach, that wasn't really much. Before that it was only Jimmy, I had always had a crush on him being that I grew up almost always being in his class for school. Then when I was 16 he start taking an interest in me. He asked me out and of course me being the naive teenager I was I yes thinking he was the one. We were only dating for 2 month when I was thinking it was love and he was everything I was ever going to need. But as time pasted things began to change and about a month later the sickness broke out. He had lost his family almost right away so when he came out to the farm to make sure I was ok and thats when daddy insisted on him staying. We had already lost mom and Shawn by then and I was afraid that he was going to be the only I was going to have left. Thats when I started to notice the little things I didn't see on our two hour dates, and I also came to a realization how there was no way he would ever be able to protect me in the world it was now. But none the less I was always clumped together with him as if we were married or something. When I had found out he was gone, I was still trying to process the lost of the farm and Patrica but it from then on out that I tried to change. I knew I couldn't act the way I did before being safe in my own bed in my own home. But we soon found the prison and I invested all of my time into Judith because thats what I felt like I was good at, how I could contribute to the group." Daryl just looked at me with sad eyes, as if he felt sad for me which I didn't understand because out of everybody I have probably had it the easiest and he has had it the hardest. After another moment of nothing I deiced to speak up. "I didn't just get Daryl Dixon to feel bad for me now did I?"

"Nah, its just you've got your innocence taken away from you so early, never really got to live." He said quietly.

"Well I don't think I've gotten it any harder then anybody else out here and im doing just fine." I said with a smile.

"Beth you're pregnant."

"Your point?" He said nothing and just laughed to himself. "Now have we been here long enough? I feel just fine and I would feel a whole lot better knowing we aren't just sitting ducks waiting to be attacked." I said reaching out a hand for him to help me up. He looked at it hesitating but then realizing the lack of light we were going to have pretty soon and helped me up. I was feeling a lot better as we started to walk, taking in the beautiful sights all around us. The smell of death was faint but still there covered up by the fresh flowers and the trees.

"Its so beautiful isn't it?" I said taking in a big breath. Daryl just looked at me like I was clueless and we were in different places.

"I think the pregnancy is effecting your eyesight."

"No its not silly, that doesn't happen. And it is to beautiful, the people left here may not be the most beautiful things but they haven't at all effected the amazing earth God has made for us!" I said so cheerful.

"Damn mood swings." He muttered under his breath. I ran over to the closest flower picking it up and bring it back to Daryl.

"Ok now tell me to my face this isn't beautiful." I said, he looked at the flower then his eyes shifted to mine saying nothing. I waited confused why he was taking so long to say something, I mean the flower wasn't that ugly. He looked back to the flower but then right back to my eyes finally speaking up.

"You're beautiful." He said in almost a whisper, I was taken so off guard not knowing at all what to say or do. I looked at the flower completely flustered accidentally dropping it and as if on command my cheeks started to burn up in embarrassment.

"Oh, well um thank you." I said looking down trying not to make eye contact, and for once it was me trying to brake that. His finger went under my chin lifting it up so I was forced to look in to his eyes. He leaned making contact with our lips. It wasn't like any other kiss we'd have this one was real, it was him showing his feeling only after he had just said them out loud. It was only on kiss but it was full of enough emotion to make it last a million years.
