( Note- I know I said I would be posting one big chapter but I'm so excited after writing this that I had to break the chapter into 2 chapters. I hope you will love the way Beth and Daryl are getting married as much as I love it)
Chapter 12
Daryl wrapped Beth in his arms feeling as though God himself had just handed him the most precious gift in the world. He then captured her lips in his as he kissed her with everything in him. Breaking the kiss Daryl looked in Beth's eyes with all the love in his heart in his " I love you more than anything in this world Beth. I have plenty of money to give you any kind of wedding you want. I know I haven't always been a good man but I swear I will be a good man to you. I'll be a good husband to you Beth. I swear I will . " Beth felt all the love that was in his words and loved him all the more for them. It didn't matter to her about the things he had done in the past. In her eyes he was a good man and nothing could ever change that. To Beth Daryl wasn't only just a good man, to her he was perfect and she loved him fiercely. She knew with all her heart that Daryl would be a good husband to her. Husband she thought repeating the word in her mind. The feeling of Daryl being her husband stirred an uncontrollable desire in her. The desire to get on Daryls bike with him right now this moment and drive away from here. Drive off somewhere, anywhere and become Daryls wife. Sure her dad and Maggie would be shocked when she came back married to Daryl. They would probably even feel a little disappointed that they couldn't have been there on her wedding day. But for Beth marrying Daryl wasn't about her Dad or Maggie. It was about them. It was about Daryl and her becoming one. Nothing had felt more right to Beth then leaving this place right now and going off to marry Daryl.
Beth took his face in her hands. All of her emotion was showing in her eyes " Lets just do it Daryl. Lets get on your bike right now and go off some place together and get married." Daryl looked at her stunned. He couldn't believe what she had just asked him. But the look on Beths face told him she was serious, dead serious. Daryl looked at Beth with complete love in his eyes as he brought her hands to his lips. He would love nothing more than to get on his bike right now and drive her off somewhere to marry her. Daryl eyes were searching Beths face when the cabin he had that was an hour south of them popped into his mind. He then thought about the town that was only 10 minutes drive from the cabin. The town had stores and a bridal shop that would have everything she needed to marry him in it. Daryl also thought about the church he had attended during his darkest times. In the times he would isolate himself in the cabin after he got out of prison. He also knew Father Gabriel the man who had helped him through those dark times would marry them. Daryl knew that all it would take would be one phone call to Abe and he and Beth could be on there way to his cabin. To their future. Daryl loved the idea, he knew it was the perfect way to make Beth his wife. But he had to be absolutely sure that this is what Beth wanted. " What about your dad and your sister? Are sure you want to get married this way without them being there? " Beth looked seriously in his eyes " Yes." she answered " Getting married is about you and me. About us Daryl." she said placing his hand on her heart." I couldn't dream of marrying you any other way." Daryl just breathed, he knew she was sure about what she was asking. His heart broke with happiness " Then lets go get married baby." he said bringing his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. Daryl pulled back from the kiss to clasp Beths face in his hands as he told her about the cabin, the town, and about the church and Father Gabriel. Beth threw herself in Daryls arms thrilled with his plan.
While Daryl was on his cell speaking with Abe, Beth had called Miss Potter at the used book store. She told her that something had come up and that she would actually be able to start next Monday. Beth then called her house. When she got no answer it occurred to her that it was Sunday and that her dad was now at their churches fish fry so Beth left a message. She told him that she was leaving town for a week and would explain everything when she got back then said she loved him.
15 minutes later Daryl and Beth were roaring down the road on Daryls bike heading to their future together .
