That night Beth's show went fantastically, she sang all the happy songs she could remember, people sang with her they danced, Maggie even came up onto the stage to join in. Hershel had been overly happy with Beth's choice of house for him, and he had almost jumped for joy when he discovered that the small town had it's own church and a preacher, he had made arrangements to meet the man the following day, to see if he could help him with the day to day running of small place of worship.

Beth collapsed onto the couch in exhaustion, she was glad they were all finally here but she thought she would sleep for the next fortnight, Daryl came into the room dropping to his knees in front of her, he pulled her heels from her tired feet, then pulled her to her feet, slipping her out of he dress, he placed one of his shirts on her, his most favourite way of seeing her, she knew this.

"Morgan and I will be going on a run in a few days, we were talking to someone, who came in, said if we could get solar panel, he could probably get em going, it's what he did before the world went to shit, means we can get some heating and electric lights and shit, make people settle even better, after all the petrol ain' gunna last forever, there is also talk of finding horses and traps for local runs problem is they don' normally out run the walkers but we can all see. You unpacked your thangs yet?" she nodded to him.

"Thank you for bringing it all back for me, I didn't realise how much I missed it, can' even believe you brought my wedding dress, you Daryl Dixon are an amazing man, your brave, heroic and soft as candy floss." she smiled.

"Candy floss, I ain' having none of that talk woman, I got a reputation to keep in place. Bloody soft as Candy floss." He continued as he walked out the room into the bedroom, she led on the couch listening to his soft mumblings coming from the bedroom they got louder as he headed back into the living room, she was chuckling to herself. "Got ya something, well one is a return, the other is new, I found it when I was hunting once, truth be told I brought it back for ya when ya went on your little walk about." he looked up from the ground, she felt herself shake her head at him, he was so big and brave would face anything, if a whole herd of walkers stood between them he would fight his arse of to get to her, but giving her a simple gift had him wanting to run to the ends of the world, she took the bag from him and placed it on her lap, as he grabbed at her wrist placing a bracelet she hadn't seen in a very long time over her wrist, she gasped and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"Thank you Daryl." she smiled up at him and he gave her his lopsided grin in return, realising he had made her really happy. She picked up the paper bag from her lap turning it over in her hand, she was kind of excited, he had brought her something, and to her shock she didn't think it was anything she had to use to protect herself with, made a change, she giggled. Opening the bag she saw leather, she looked up at Daryl slightly confused, he was to excited he ripped the bag away holding the gift up for her.

"Should fit ya" he smiled, she laughed with delight.

"We can be angels together" she laughed as Daryl pushed her into her new leather waist coat, at the back she saw the wings that almost matched Daryl's, then she felt herself being drawn into him,

"Ya already an angel, don' need no bloody fake wings to prove that, I just wanted ya to have something for the bike is all." he said defensively.

"Daryl it's wonderful, I love it." she snuggled into him

"Ya do?" he asked nervously

"I do, so what else you got in that back pack of yours?" she asked him

"Chick flicks, I got all them Dvd's we found for Carl, can watch one if ya like" she nodded, to him and he went to collect them, still chuckling to herself she couldn't believe her Daryl had found her this and was so excited about them wearing almost the same thing.

Morning came Beth woke up stretched and feeling slightly confused, to why she was alone, she pulled on Daryl's shirt making her way into the living room/kitchen remembering night before, she gazed down to her legs knowing there would be small finger sized bruises at the top of her thighs, her bottom felt a little sore, as Daryl had spanked it and she had squealed for more, she blushed at the thought of it, in the mist of passion with her man she would agree to almost anything. Beth opened the fridge to pull out the milk she had gotten the previous day from the cow on her father new farm, well farm was a bit far fetched but she still smiled at the idea, going to fill a pan with water she noticed a note on the kitchen work top.

Morning Princess

Didn't want to wake ya, had to go on guard duty,

be back in a few hours.

She picked it up slipping it into the pocket of his shirt smiling, then progressed to make herself some breakfast, she decided a trip to her fathers place was called for, then go and speak to Rick about jobs to distribute to the new comers. She had thought that it would be a good idea for Rick to take his old job, and become their Sheriff here, someone people could go to instead of disturbing the council every ten minutes but she wanted to know how he would feel about that, then it was getting the children into the school's she knew Carl would be grumpy about it, but until his 18th birthday Carl was a child too and the rules applied to everyone.

Beth made her way back to the bedroom, she slipped on a pair of tight black jeans, a close fitting white shirt, a pair of boots that came up to her knees and her new leather waist coat, that would please her man, she slapped her hair into a tight pony tail, then winked at her self in mirror, she intended to speak to Maggie about doing some singing in Lori's so she could grab a night off every now and again.

But first, Beth made her way to the front gate where she knew Daryl would be, "Coming up" she shouted and climbed the ladder. When she reached the top there was a wolf whistle, she looked up and froze, not Daryl, oops.

"Where's Daryl?" she asked

"Your that bird from Lori's, the singer, that Red neck your man is he?" the man asked she guessed he was new in town.

"Yes to both, where is he?" she asked again the man walked towards her, she knew he was going to make a play for her but she was ready.

"You could have a real man ya know." she smiled, running her fingers up his chest, he placed his hand over the top of hers, when she grabbed his wrist pulling it up behind his back bending him over at the waist, she lent into him.

"I got one, and you best make sure he don't hear you talking shit like that or he will snap what's left of you in two." she let him go with a shove and he fell to the floor, when clapping started from behind her she turned, Rick and Daryl were both stood there.

"Naughty boys get there arse's kicked here, unwanted attention to women can become dangerous, remember that." she turned walking over to Daryl and Rick, Daryl kissed her, then glared over at the youngster, looking kinda of sheepish.

"Ya got a job to do, so get the fuck on with it, touch her again and I will break every bone in your hand prick." he said to the boy.

"Gunna have to keep an eye on that one" Rick motioned.

"Exactly why I was looking for you Rick, I wanted to talk to you about a sheriff's office, and would you feel up to making one of ya own? Running it like?" he nodded eagerly "I picked a place can show it to ya if ya like"

"Yes Beth, that sounds like something I could do, I wanted to feel useful, meet ya at the bottom in a minute?" Beth nodded and Rick climbed down.

"I only came to say I am heading to Daddy's I wanted to talk to Maggie about covering my shift a couple of nights so we could get some quality alone time." she winked at him.

"Beth not here." he scolded, she cracked a smile then lent into his ear.

"My arse is stinging a little, how about you make it red raw tonight?" she pulled away, laughing loudly as Daryl's face turned all shades of red.

"Beth!" he glared at her.

"See you at Daddy's, in a wee bit." she kissed him on the cheek and climbed down to meet with the waiting Rick.

"Now Rick" she started as they walked away together, Beth knew this was going to be another grate day in paradise.
