Chapter 21

Daryl heard the door to C slam open and then slam shut. He watched as Beth shook with anger making her way over to The Rec Area where he, Rick and Glenn were discussing what to do about the Governor. Beth looked scary mad. He couldn't remember another time she had ever been mad at anyone besides a few sister feuds with Maggie. Sure she had been upset at him a few times, but that was more of a hurt feeling situation, and she always forgave him.

"Rick I want her gone now." Beth demanded as she quickly put Judy into her swing and cranked it. "She doesn't get to just come in here and start ordering us around being all judgmental."

"We were just discussing what to have her tell The Governor Beth. After we get a car ready with a few supplies and get a meal in her she's leaving." Rick replied turning back to the men.

"Tell her to walk her ass back to Woodbury. They can feed her there." Beth replied storming off and leaving Judy who was contently swinging away in her swing.

"Where are you going?" Glenn asked. "You forgot the baby!"

"I'm going to give her a piece of my mind, and Judy should not be exposed to that kind of language!" Beth replied slamming back out of C. Daryl looked at Rick and Glenn, and shrugged his shoulders.

"Bout time she got mad. I'm just glad she isn't taking it out on me." Daryl replied. "Lil'Asskicker will be fine in her swing for a bit."

Beth stormed back into The Cafeteria to find Carol hugging Andréa.

"Well isn't this cozy." Beth sarcastically spit out walking over and planting her hands on the table, keeping it between them.

"Why don't you just calm down Beth. I didn't mean any harm. You've got to admit the thought of you and Daryl together is kinda shocking." Andréa chuckled.

"Why? What's so shocking about it? Daryl loves, respects and protects me. I don't think it's shocking that I'd be with a man like that." Beth replied. "You on the other hand had to sneak out of Woodbury because your new boyfriend, who has tried to kill all of us, wouldn't let you leave."

"Oh come on Beth, Daryl is rough around the edges, at least 10 years older than you and not exactly a people person." Andréa shot back.

"He's 15 years older and maybe he just wasn't a snobby bitch person. I like that he's rough around the edges. He doesn't mince words and says exactly what he means. He doesn't sugar coat anything, so when he tells me something, I know he's not just blowing smoke up my ass." Beth shot back.

"They really are sweet together Andréa." Carol added. "Beth's a good influence on Daryl. He's still Daryl, but he doesn't run away all the time when there's a problem."

"That improvement is likely cause Merle wasn't around." Andréa shot out, "Carol do you really think it's appropriate for Beth to be pregnant with someone who was in high school when she was born baby? There is no way this would have happened if the world hadn't gone to shit."

"Then I guess I have something to be thankful for in regards to this apocalypse." Beth shot out.

"Look, temper tantrum aside I want Beth to come back with me to Woodbury. We have 2 doctors there, they can look her over and I can bring her back. Make sure everything is ok." Andréa replied

"Are you fucked in the head?" Carol asked. "You think if he gets ahold of Beth he's just going to let her go? You saw Glenn's face; we've seen what he did to Maggie. Her soul is bruised. You want to take Beth there?"

"I wouldn't leave with you if there was a gun to my head." Beth spat out. "My dad's here, as long as your new people don't attack us again I'll be fine." Beth sat down and put her hands on her stomach. "You are a Judas. I can't believe you'd think terrible things about people that kept you alive and safe."

"They didn't get me off that farm now did they?" Andréa spat.

"We went back and you were gone. Not trace, no body, nothing. Don't pretend that you bothered looking for us. You'd have found us if you went back to the highway. You know the safe meeting place we had all arranged before hand," Beth said sarcastically.

"How was I supposed to make it to the highway?" Andréa shot back.

"Walk like T-Dog and Carol did? Stop trying to blame everyone else. We went back to the highway every day for a week before we had to move on. Don't say we didn't try."

"Now I'm trying to help you. Come back to Woodbury. It's not a prison; it's a town, people, a church, and doctors. Not just a prison. Is this where you want to live the rest of your lives?"

"Andréa that's enough. We can't live in a town with a leader we don't trust." Rick replied walking into the cafeteria. "We both know he won't let us all in. Beth Daryl needs your help with the baby. She's screaming up a storm. I need to go over some stuff with Andréa and clear a few things up before she goes on back to Woodbury."

Beth sighed and started to stand noticing a smirk on Andréa's face.

"Leave the grown ups to talk." Andréa smirked at Beth being dismissed back to baby duty. Rick slammed his hand against the table making everyone jump.

"I said that's enough! You do not talk to any of us like that!"

Beth made her way back into the Rec area, shocked to see Daryl trying to calm a hysterical Judith, and Glenn clutching a bloody nose. Beth reached for the baby, settling her against her chest and rubbing her back.

"I was gone for 20 minutes. What happened?"

"Judith started crying hard, I took her our of the swing and tried to calm her down. She head-butted me in the face." Glenn answered. "She really does hate everyone but you."

"She could hear you yelling at Andréa. She got really worked up." Daryl commented, rubbing his hand over the baby's head as she settled against Beth. "You don't got to work yourself up like that. Not over me, it's doesn't matter."

"Yes it does matter. You matter and she has no right being rude." Beth replied. "She's bitter and thinks we just left her behind. Glenn, tilt your head forward and pinch. I am not having supper with her. You can see her off without me and Judy." Beth replied walking towards the showers. "We're taking a shower, y'all go have supper with Satan's Whore and save me some."

Glenn and Daryl watched while Beth sauntered off towards the showers with Judith.

"It's for the best that she cools off. Have fun with that later." Glenn patted Daryl on the back before making his way off towards the Cafeteria.

"You don't listen to that uppity bitch Baby Brother." Merle said from the second floor. "Know how you think. You two are good for each other."

"Shut up." Daryl "Come to supper with me so I got someone to sit with."

Daryl hadn't had a tense supper like that since the last time he had sat at the table with his father. Andréa promised to talk to The Governor, set up a meeting to talk about peace, but it wasn't till she talked to Hershel that she realized there might be little hope for a peaceful resolution, and Rick's theory of them each going their separate ways might be the only solution. Merle had reiterated that meeting with The Governor was suicide. Daryl had his way up to the office with a sandwich and carrot sticks for Beth. He was a bit disappointed that He and Merle hadn't worked on the fences or the stakes to stop the walkers, but Rick had said they could get a start on them in the morning. Daryl watched from the door as Beth wrapped the baby up and placed her in her basket.

"She didn't nap all day, I bet she'll sleep through the night tonight." Beth whispered making sure Judy had her pacifier. "Poor thing cried through our shower. I can't believe Glenn got blood all over her."

"I don't think he did it on purpose." Daryl chuckled as he handed Beth her plate. She smiled and took the plate, eating the sandwich quietly. Daryl pulled out a few feathers he had found and worked on fletching the bolts he had made for his crossbow. He used the homemade bolts to clear the fences, saving the new sturdier bolts for when he went hunting. Every so often he'd look up and watch Beth, she was stretched out on her side on the bed, reading through a baby book, nibbling on her carrot sticks. Sometimes he forgot what the world had come to looking at Beth. Aside from the scenery, she didn't look like someone that was fighting for her life. He hair was still wet from her shower, she ways laying on a pretty nice bed, in a room she had set up herself. She never looked dirty or smelled. He wasn't exactly sure how she managed that. Carol and Maggie couldn't even pull that off. She had stolen one of his sleeveless button ups and was using it as a nightie. He wasn't sure if he was wearing anything underneath it. They way she had her legs crossed made it hard to tell. Beth finished her meal and stretched to put the plate on the small table by the futon, her shirt riding up and Daryl finally had an answer to the panty question. He had no idea where she had gotten them, but she had on ridiculously tiny black lace panties that he was sure he would be ripping off later tonight. Beth caught him staring and blushed, pulling the shirt back down and turning back to her book.

"I'd tell you to take a picture, it's last longer but we don't exactly have a camera." Beth joked. "Michonne brought us all back some clothes and underwear from that boutique she hit up, you like mine?"

"I didn't see much of them, why don't you take 'em off and let me see what they look like on the floor. I was going to wear that shirt tomorrow. Don't you have pajamas of your own?"

"They're too warm already." Beth said slipping to her knees. "I can take it off if you want." She slowly started to undo the buttons, slipping the shirt off, covering her chest before lying down on her stomach, showing of how sheer her panties where. "You get a better look at my panties now? Or do you still want to see them on the floor?"

"If you want them in one piece you'll have them off before I make it over to the bed." Daryl growled, as he put is bolts on the desk and set the feathers to the side. Beth quickly rolled over and lifted her hips slipping off the panties. She stopped Daryl from climbing on the bed by pushing him back by the chest with one of her bare feet.

"You're wearing too many clothes." Beth replied sitting up and crossing her legs and her arms, covering herself. "Take them off." Daryl reached down and pulled her to her feet, trading places with her. He grabbed her by the hips and pulled her forward, placing small kissing on her stomach. Beth reached down and undid a few buttons of his shirt before pulling it over his head. Daryl moved her back to bed shifting her legs open, running his hands up and down her legs. Beth grabbed him by the hair and pulled him up her body and kissed him. "Take your pants off now."

"I'm not done with you yet." Daryl said against her chest moving back down her body. He rand his hands over her stomach placing more kisses to the slight bump before pushing her legs up and open by grabbing her by the back of the knees. He lowered his mouth to her center and licked his way to her clit. Circling her slowly with his tongue and switching to slightly sucking at her pussy and kissing her mound. Beth tried to wiggle closer to his mouth, but she found the Daryl could firmly hold her in place by control and pushing on her legs by the back of her knees. She whined loudly, grabbing his h air roughly again and holding his head in place when his mouth was on her clit again.

"Stop teasing me." Beth moaned, wiggly again trying to get her legs free. "Please!"

"Please what. Tell me what you want." Daryl looked up at her before placing his mouth back on her.

"Please make me come Daryl." Beth whined, running her fingers to her center, circling her clit while Daryl continued to lick at her. "Daryl please fuck me."

"How?" Daryl asked lightly kissing her fingers.

"Fast and hard. And deep." Beth whined while Daryl sucked hard on her clit. Daryl let go of her legs and rolled her over on to her stomach, lifting he up to her knees. He lowered his jeans and positioned himself between her legs, running his dick up and down her wet slit. Beth got impatient and tried to push herself back onto him. "Daryl I need you to fuck me now!" Beth hissed over her shoulder when Daryl backed away. She breathed a sigh of relief once he gripped her hips and slipped in. She grabbed her pillow, shoving it under her chest and biting it to kill her moans. She moved back against him hard with each thrust. "Don't stop." Beth cried out reaching her hand back onto his hand that was holding her hip. Daryl pulled out of her and pulled her up, lying against her pillow and helping her climb over his lap, She quickly positioned her self over him and slide down. "I said don't stop." Beth grumbled, moving back and forth, desperate for more friction.

"I want to watch you tits bounce." Daryl said moving his hands back to her hips and moving her up and down. "Swivel your hips while you move." Daryl guided her hips for a few more thrusts before she got the rhythm on her own. She started whining out curse words and clenching around him before she collapsed against his chest. Daryl continued to move her hips up and down until he came. Beth stayed against his chest, he could feel her smiling, "How'd you like that?"

"Why'd you wait so long to show me that?" Beth sighed contently, still straddling him, with her head on his shoulder. "What else have you been holding back?"
