Two days passed after Jamie's birthday and Beth woke up feeling rough, she felt groggy as she walked in to the bathroom, she glanced at the clock and realised she had slept through her alarm and the boys would be late if they weren't already up she rushed to Jamie's room first to see his bed empty, she crossed the hall to Matthew's and saw his bed was also empty, she made her way down stairs "you should've woke me" she told Daryl as he served the boys eggs for breakfast.

"You didn't sleep well kept tossing" Daryl stated.

"I think I caught what Matthew had" she frowned at him.

"Not hungry then" he gestured to the pan.

"Not at all" Beth shook her head, holding her stomach as she passed up the meal.

"Oops" Matthew apologized.

"Not your fault kid" Beth kissed his head "you should both be getting to school" she pointed out. Jamie and Matthew both hugged her before they left.

"You should go back to bed" Daryl wrapped his arms around her.

"Your going to get sick" she laughed.

"Good, I have the best nurse in the state" he kissed her gently she pushed him away "Beth?"

"I'm gonna be sick" she ran to the guest bathroom and emptied her stomach.

"Alright no arguments straight to bed" he helped her upstairs.

"I'm fine" she tried to tell him but she felt really weak.

"Sleep, I'll come check on you in a few hours" he assured her as he tucked her in and gave her a kiss on the head.

A week later Beth was still feeling sick "you need to see a doctor" Daryl told her.

"I'll be fine" Beth told him.

"I already made you an appointment it's at ten thirty" Daryl told her "just go put my mind at ease" he said.

"What would I do without you" she gave him a kiss.

Daryl and Beth were sat in the Doctors office waiting to see what was wrong with her. "Mrs Dixon congratulations your pregnant" Dr Moore told them.

Beth looked at him stunned, she glanced at Daryl "what do you mean she's pregnant?" he looked at her confused.

"That can't be" Beth shook her head.

"We were told it would be impossible to have more kids, we tried for almost a year, almost six years ago they told us we would need IVF" Daryl explained.

"I see that in your records you've been very lucky, but if you want we can look at other options" Dr Moore offered.

"No" Beth refused, she looked at Daryl "I couldn't harm it" she told him.

"I know" Daryl held her hand assuredly.

After they left the Doctors office the two sat in Daryl's truck thinking over what they had just been told. Beth was happy, since she had always wanted a big family but she was worried they had a good life right now and a baby would turn things upside down, after they had failed to get pregnant years ago they had given up on hoping for it. "Daryl?" Beth looked over at him, she saw that he had a small smile on his face.

"Why do you look so scared" he asked cupping her face gently stroking her cheek.

"We didn't plan this" she placed a hand on her stomach thinking about the child growing there.

"We didn't plan Jamie and look how that turned out" he said causing her to smile "we can do this."

"Since when did you become the optimist?" Beth grinned at him.

"Since I met you" Daryl kissed her.

Beth smiled at him "I love you" she rested there heads together "we love you" she placed his hand on her stomach.

"How do you want to tell the boys?" Daryl asked as he started the truck to make their way back to the farm.

"We should just casually drop it in over dinner, I don't want to make a big fuss about it" Beth told him, it was still early on in the pregnancy and many things could go wrong.

"Before you even think about it I ain't naming this one" Daryl smirked at her.

She raised an eyebrow at him "why not?"

"No after ten years it's too much pressure it's your turn" Daryl said and they both laughed, he would be prepared this time for when Beth was exhausted after the labour and telling him to come up with a name on the spot he would put some thought into this one.

"I still don't understand how this is possible" Beth sighed, she had come to terms a long time ago that their family was complete and here it was something that would change everything.

"Don't question it, it'll make my brain hurt" she laughed at him "are you happy that your pregnant?" he asked.

"I am" she assured him "I just was never expecting it."

"Well your expecting now" Daryl wanted to lighten her mood, she looked at him shocked, grinning, this would be a happy addition to their little family. Once they arrived home, Beth was still feeling sick so Daryl put her to bed, telling her to get some rest, he texted Jamie to pick up some food on his way back from picking Matthew up after football practice, so Beth wouldn't have to worry about cooking, before heading back out to work with a smile gracing his face.

Beth had gotten up about an hour before Jamie and Matthew were due home and decided she was in the mood for something sweet so she made her way to the kitchen and began baking cupcakes, she had just taken them out of the oven when the boys came through the door. Jamie placed the takeaway bags down on the dining room table as Matthew ran up to change "are you still feeling sick Mama?" he asked.

"A little, I think your Dad was more worried than me" she smiled at him "will you go grab him?" Jamie nodded heading out the backdoor to find his father.

Once they were all sat down to eat, Beth and Daryl shared looks deciding who should tell them the news "do you want to tell them or should I?" Daryl asked.

"You tell them" Beth nodded to him.

"Tell us what?" Matthew questioned.

"Dad?" Jamie looked at both his parents confused.

"We have some good news" Daryl started looking to Beth to see if she wanted to continue, but she watched him patiently "your Mama's having a baby" he told them.

"Really?" Matthew was hugging Beth from the side, Beth nodded.

"That's great" Jamie got up and hugged Daryl before hugging Beth "how long have you known?"

"We only found out today, we wanted you to know before we told anyone else" Beth told them "I know it's going to change a few things around here, but we'll make it work."

"I was actually think about that" Daryl said as the boys sat back down "we're going to need a nursery for the baby."

"Don't make us share" Matthew complained.

"I didn't say you'd have to" Daryl told him "don't jump to conclusions, I was going to ask Jamie, if you didn't mind taking the spare room down here so we can turn the room next to ours into the baby's nursery" he explained his idea.

"Sure, as long as I can repaint" Jamie said thinking of the floral design in the spare room.
