Now Beth was around her thirty pregnancy week and everything was alright. The mother and the two babies were healthy and that was everything Daryl always wanted to hear from doctor Michael.
Beth also didn't have any problems, she was always feeling good and not even one time ill since weeks. Because of her ever growing belly she wasn't able to do so much work anymore, which Daryl had already told her more than once to stop completely. She didn't help Lucy that often doing the laundry or harvesting the fruits and vegetables anymore, instead she spent almost her whole time with teaching the kids of the Kingdom or giving them music lessons.
Since a few days Beth also had problems with getting in or out her jeans, socks and shoes, so Daryl helped her with pleasure. A big smile was always playing on his lips, while Beth giggled, because he was tickling unwanted her tiny feet. One time Beth began to laugh out loud unexpected and when Daryl asked her what was so funny, so told him, that she even couldn't see her toes anymore, when she was looking down at herself.
Daryl had noticed, that Beth always dressed her shirt in the bathroom or when he wasn't in the same room like her. And every evening, when they were lying in bed and Daryl wanted to stroke carefully over her swollen belly, Beth quickly turned the lights out, like she didn't want him to see her body. But if Daryl was serious he wanted to see her belly, even bad. It gave him a warm feeling inside his chest and a proud smile was always playing on his lips, but he hadn't seen Beth's belly since over three weeks.
One evening Daryl came home from work earlier than usual, when he opened the door to their flat and saw Beth standing just with her underwear in front of the big mirror. The second she got his presence, Beth quickly gripped the shirt, which was laying on top of the bed next to her, turned around, so she was showing Daryl her back, and pulled it quickly over her head.
Daryl didn't say anything then or asked what's wrong, but he knew, that something was wrong, he just didn't know what it exactly was. Like always Beth showed him one of her best smiles, while she came closer and welcomed him with a sweet kiss, like nothing had happened.
After he had helped her into her trousers, socks and boots the two of them made their daily sunset walk. Finally they ended up with watching the sun going slowly down, while they were sitting on one of the banks of the little park in the middle of the Kingdom. That was the moment, when Daryl got too curious not to ask.
"Everything okay sweetheart?" Daryl could tell, that Beth exactly knew what he meant, but still she nodded her head and answered unsure "Yes, of course. Everything is alright my love." Biting on his tongue, Daryl didn't know if he should ask or not, because he had read in his book, that pregnant women were sometimes really emotional and unsure, but he exactly knew, that something was wrong, he could see it in her eyes.
"Be serious sweetheart. What's wrong? I know there is something." Daryl said with a small voice, worried about what Beth will do or answer. Breathing deep inside her lungs one more time, Beth tried to hide herself from his look, while her fingers were playing nervously with the hem of her shirt. "It's.. it's just.. my skin. I have got some stretch marks." She finally said it out loud and Daryl understood, because the pregnancy book he was reading had two whole pages about that topic.
"Oh sweetheart. Come here." Daryl whispered and pulled her closer to his side. He could tell, that Beth wasn't crying, but he knew, that she was sad and unsure. Breathing her delicious scent deep inside his lungs, while he had buried his nose deep into her golden locks, Daryl finally told her "You are still the prettiest woman on the whole world princess. You don't have to hide them from me."
Looking up at him with her big deer eyes, Beth asked shy "You sure?" Giving her an encouraging smile, Daryl answered "Of course beauty. They just show how hard your body is working for our little angels." Placing his hand protective over her sweet, swollen belly, Daryl carefully moved his thumb above the soft material of her shirt. "Don't worry any more princess. You are still looking so damn beautiful, amazing and even illegal like the first time I have seen you back on the farm."
Lifting up her chin with his thumb and index finger, so Beth was looking him in the eyes, he told her mildly "I love you sweetheart. I will always love you, no matter what." After Daryl had placed a soft kiss against Beth's forehead, she whispered "I love you too my man. Thank you."
After the walk and the had got into their flat again, Beth let Daryl knew, that she will take a shower now and he didn't even know how he came up with that idea, when he asked her serious "Can I join you?"
First Beth was just staring at him, worried and scared, but when he added "I mean, only if you want." she began to relax slowly and finally she nodded her head. Unsure Beth followed Daryl into the bathroom and she was biting on her lower lip, while he closed the door behind them and quickly stripped out of his clothes.
Slowly Daryl began to help Beth out of her boots, while she was leaning against the washbasin. Her socks were following next and carefully he slid down the trousers her long, gracefully legs. While Daryl stood up again, he caught Beth's worried look, because she knew, what was coming next.
Placing a soft kiss on her cheek, Daryl's fingertips found the hem of Beth's shirt and without looking one time away from her eyes he pulled the fabric over her head and threw it careless next to their other clothes on the floor.
Gently Daryl ran his palms to her back to open easily her bra, never looking away from her worried eyes. After he had turned on the water and made sure that the temperature was warm enough for his girl, he stepped inside the shower, waiting for Beth to follow him. It needed a few seconds, till she joined Daryl under the warm waterbeams.
Even when it wasn't easy for him, because he hadn't seen her naked since weeks, Daryl never looked anywhere other than her beautiful face. Giving her an encouraging smile, Daryl kissed lovingly her nose, before he took the shower gel and placed some of it inside his palm.
As gently as possible he massaged the gel into Beth's golden locks, till they were completely covered with the white lather. As carefully as possible with his rough, strong hands Daryl washed Beth's hair and with the rest lather on his hands, he cleaned her neck and shoulder gently.
Taking some more shower gel, Daryl never looked away from Beth's beautiful eyes, while he began to move over her beautiful, swollen belly. When the whole soap was gone from her skin, Daryl slowly sank on his knees in front of her, while his eyes were still spellbound to hers, to wash the rest of her soft skin.
Only after minutes Daryl finally looked away from Beth's face and instead he took in her sweet, pregnant belly. Carefully he stroked her still so soft skin and also the little stretch marks. Gently he kissed them, while the warm water was running down his bare back. He kissed them mellow, like Beth had done already so often with the dark, old scars on his back.
Daryl had placed his flat palms on her belly and his lips still touched her skin, when he said "You are so damn beautiful my girl. Don't ever think about something different." Only when Daryl lifted his head, he could see how Beth was smiling down at him. Lovingly she slide her fingers trough his wet hair and whispered "You are the best thing, that ever happened to me, you know that Mr. Dixon?"
After he got on his feet and framed her rosy cheeks with his hands, Daryl said before he kissed her long and gently "And the three of you are the best thing, that ever happened to me princess."
They spent some more time together under the shower, washing each other gently and kissing lovingly, till Daryl decided that it was enough, when his erection began to grow, which made Beth giggle even more.
The whole evening Daryl spent with stroking Beth's swollen belly and rub it with the oil she had gotten from Lucy, because now Beth let him look at this beautiful part of her body in the fainth light of the lamp again. Daryl gave himself a promise then, that he won't ever let Beth worry about her body again. He will tell her from now on as often as possible how damn beautiful she was.
It was in one warm summer night, when Beth whispered to Daryl, while they were already laying in bed and tried to fall asleep since minutes "Do you remember, when you said, that you would do everything, if I would ever need or want something my love?" Daryl sat himself up instantly then and looked worried down at her. "Of course, I do. What do you need sweetheart? Don't matter what I will get it for you."
Daryl just wanted to spring out of the bed, when Beth held him back and tried to calm him down with "Stop, wait baby." Unsure she began to bite on her lower lip and even when it was almost completely dark inside the room Daryl could tell that Beth's cheek had a rosy tone.
"I.. it's just.. I don't know, if you have already read about this in your book, but.. you know my hormones are making me sometimes almost crazy.. like now." Beth stammered unsure. "Okay. Yeah, I understand. What do you want sweetheart? Some chips, tomatoes or chocolate like yesterday?" Daryl asked, confused why she wasn't just saying him what she needed, like all the other times before.
A little smile was playing on her lips, when Beth answered "No, nothing from these things. I want.. I need you Daryl. So bad." Now he was really confused. Had he even understood her right? "But sweetheart you know, we shouldn't.. you have heard doctor Michael." Daryl answered, his voice was shaking as well.
"I know my love, but.. there are other ways.. you know." Beth said, while she was sucking her under lip nervous into her mouth. "You sure about it sweetheart?" Daryl asked serious, running his palm up and down her arm.
With her big, innocence eyes Beth nodded almost unnoticeable and waited for his first move. Gently Daryl guided her laying back down on the soft mattress and after he began to kiss her gently and lovingly. Spending minutes with let Beth running her fingertips over his muscles and flesh, kissing passionate and stroking her soft skin, Daryl easily carried her a little further down, so she had to bend her legs so they want hang over the edge of their bed.
After pressing one last kiss on her swollen lips, Daryl got away from Beth's side and instead he sank on his knee on the floor between her legs and the view he got made his mouth began to water instantly and his lips formed a little smirk. Gently he slipped down Beth's sweet pants, till she was laying only with her sleeping dress in front of him.
"Relax sweetheart." He told her, when his eyes caught hers, because she was watching nervously every of his moves. Carefully he placed her legs on top of his shoulders and pulled her even closer to his face. Slowly and gently Daryl began to kiss the inside of her thighs, leaving a warm, wet road behind, before his lips got closer to her middle with every kiss.
Cautious Daryl also placed warm kisses into her pubic hair and on the scars she had gotten such a long time ago. When his beard touched her little knot for the first time, Beth let out a surprised gasp, which made Daryl smile to himself.
Her grip around the sheets got even tighter, when Daryl finally sucked her sensible spot into his warm mouth. A wave of pleasure was running trough Beth's whole body and when she finally got enough air inside her lungs again, she began to moan heathed.
Daryl held her gently in place, while he was licking Beth's whole womanhood, every inch of her soft flesh. Quickly her screams got higher and higher, every time Daryl pressed his tongue inside her sweet entrance. It didn't take that long, till Daryl could tell that his girl was already close.
The tip of his nose was tickling and stroking her little sensible knot the whole time, he was giving her so much pleasure with his hot tongue. Sliding his right hand under Beth's sleeping dress, up her body, till he reached her breast and began to massage it lovingly. That was obviously the last thing Beth had needed to get over the edge and she came long and good, because of Daryl's tongue and fingers.
He waited till the last wave of her orgasm had left her body and she began to relax again. Taking his time with licking even the last drop from her delicious juices away, Daryl finally carried Beth's tired body up in the middle of the bed again and covered her gently with the warm sheets.
"You good princess?" He asked her, while she made herself comfortable by his shoulder. "Oh God yes. I think tonight I will sleep very good." She told him with a playfully smile on her lips. Gently Daryl stroked his palm over her swollen belly and whispered into the dark room "You know, if the mommy is happy, the babies are too."
Two days later, after Beth had got examined from the doctor, he asked curious "Do you already have names for your offsprings?" Feeling caught, Daryl's cheeks got rosy, when Beth didn't answer the doctor's question and instead just looked at Daryl. But finally she told Michael, that they were still thinking about them.
Daryl knew, that this topic wasn't from the table for today, so he wasn't even surprised, when Beth asked him that evening "I don't want to pressure you baby, but I'm just too curious. Do you already have any ideas how we could name our babies?"
Unsure Daryl was biting down on his lower lip and tried not to look Beth directly in the eyes. He was thinking about them at least three hours per day, but till now he wasn't sure, because Daryl had two, he liked, but he was just too unsure and afraid to say them out loud. What if Beth won't like them? Or even worse, what if their kids won't like them? These two names with Beth's surname were running through Daryl's head so often or he whispered them to himself, when no one was around, just to hear how they would sound. But still he wasn't sure about them.
Getting his discomfort, Beth placed her soft hand on his lower arm and began to stroke his skin lovingly. "It's okay baby. We still have time." Only then Daryl lifted his head so Beth's and his eyes met. She gave him one of her sweet, understanding smiles, like he was an opened book for her.
With a soothing voice and holding tight his arm, Beth said "If you want we can name them like your brother and mother." Wildly Daryl shook his head and answered "No. No, they were my past, but not my future sweetheart." Understanding Beth nodded her head, because these were also her words, when Daryl had asked her, if they wanted to name them Simon and Anne a few weeks ago.
Leaning forward Beth pressed a soft kiss against Daryl's forehead and she just wanted to stand up and go away, when Daryl suddenly found the courage to tell it her. "Kate and Benjamin." He said a little too loud and quick.
Surprised Beth was looking down at Daryl, before she let herself sink on the couch again, with a big smile playing on her lips. "These are beautiful names baby." Beth told him and Daryl could tell, that some tears were glistening in her eyes.
"You like them?" Daryl asked her still unsure. "Of course, they are perfect. I can so imagine you calling for them, when dinner is ready and they are still playing in the garden. They even sound like a sweet song." Relieved Daryl let out a breath, he didn't know he was holding back and also smiled at Beth. "How do you came up with them baby?" She asked curious, getting closer to his side and leaning her head gently against his shoulder.
"I don't know, I can't imagine when I have heard them the first time or if I have ever heard them in my life, but I just like them and they were the first ones, that popped in my head." Daryl answered, while he was leaning relieved his head against Beth's and stroked carefully over her swollen belly.
"Kate and Benjamin Dixon." Beth whispered more to herself than to Daryl, but still his heart stopped beating instantly. He just wasn't expecting this and first it made him speechless, but after some seconds Daryl found his voice again and asked still shocked "You.. you want to give them my surname?"
Beth lifted her head, so she was able to look at Daryl's expression, which made her smiling lovingly up at him. "Of course baby, you are their daddy. And their names sound so good with your surname." Still unsure Daryl stammered "But.. nobody wants to be a Dixon sweetheart. Don't you think it would be better to give them yours?"
Gently Beth pressed her index finger against his lips and said with a soothing voice "Stop thinking this way baby. It's okay to be a Dixon, it's okay to be you. It's even good. Don't worry about it baby, they will be so proud to be a Dixon."
Daryl's heart made a jump inside his chest, when he could feel something pressing against his palm, while he was still resting his hand on top of her swollen belly, and Beth said "I think they already like their names." The two of them began to giggle then, while Daryl pulled his girl, together with his two babies, closer to his body.
