A/N Thank you, you guys are the greatest. Just a brief slice of life with Daryl and his Beth before we celebrate 4th of July! You may have had an experience similar to this...

His Beth was all manner of excited. She told him her ma was keeping D.J. and her and that crazy ass sister a hers were gonna have a spa day. All he knew about that shit was, she was damn happy and when she was damn happy he was damn happy. I mean, his woman woke up wantin' "it" first thing in the mornin', a man can't complain about that.

He was off ta build a jet engine, D.J. was off ta gramma's, and Beth was off ta the spa with Maggie. There was happiness all around their neck o' the woods.

He came home from work like always, D.J. was playin' on the floor with some kinda squeaky toys, and his Beth was in the kitchen puttin' the finishin' touches on sumthin' that smelled damn delicious. Thing was though, it looked like all she had on was one a his t-shirts, which was half drownin' her, well that and her bunny slippers.

So what's a man ta do? He come up behind her and give her butt cheek a little squeeze and kissed her on the back o' the neck. "Hey Baby, I missed yer sweet ass taday," he nearly smiled.

She smiled right back at him and said, "I missed you too Mister Dixon."

"Did y'all have a good time?" he asked as he grabbed a beer and snuck a bite a the chicken.

"Oh it was really nice Daryl, I got a facial and an eyebrow waxing, I got a mani, a pedi and got my hair trimmed just a little," She seemed mostly happy about all that.

"I kinda don't wanna know, but what the hell's an eyebrow waxin'?" The shit women did ta themselves never stopped confusing him, and when she explained it to him he said, "That's the dumbest damn thing I ever heard of, why would someone let someone else put hot wax on 'em? Sounds like some kinda medieval torture ta me. Hell Baby, I thought your eyebrows was just fine like they were."

And she just smiled cuz dammit, he was right.

He was in bed waitin' for her while she brushed her teeth and whatever else her nightly routine involved. The bathroom door was open just a little and he saw her take her panties off. Well damn, that was a sign for sure, she must want a little more lovin' tanight. He wasn't gonna begrudge her her fun.

Soon as she turned the light out and crawled inta bed next to him he made a playful grab for her crotch, and she screeched, and he jumped cuz shit, that sure as hell didn't feel like it was s'posed to. He leaped up outta the bed like it was on fire, ran over and flipped on the light switch while yelling, "What the fuck Beth, do ya got sumthin' wrong with you, what the fuck happened?"

And she had tears in her eyes, but she started ta laugh. And he was completely mystified now, and then she said, "I had a Brazilian."

And he didn't know what the fuck that even meant, "Okay Baby, I know this can't be good, so just go on and tell me, what the fuck's that?"

And she told him. And she didn't think she'd ever seen his face contort like that.

Finally he took a deep breath and said, "Damn Baby, why the hell would ya even think ta let someone do sumthin' like that to ya?"

And she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know, but Maggie said everyone does it."

Well there it is, "I shoulda known that crazy ass sister a yours had sumthin' ta do with this. Why the fuck do ya listen ta her and her crazy ass ideas? Ya know what I can't believe is her and Merle never hooked up, her crazy ass and his dumb ass would be just perfect tagether, probably be a sign a the damn apocalypse."

And Beth couldn't help it; she had to laugh because that would be quite the pair.

Then she got kinda serious, "I thought you'd like it, at the spa they said men prefer it."

And he just looked at her like she had lost her fucking mind and asked, "Ya ever hear me complain about it just the way it was? I thought it was perfect, I thought I proved to ya I thought it was perfect a few hundred times. 'Sides Beth, for chrissake yer a grown woman, yer s'posed ta be all haired over."

And he turned the light off and crawled back into bed and said, "Dammit Baby, don't do that shit no more, K?"

And she said, "I'm so happy you don't like it Daryl because I never, ever want to do that again. It hurt so bad and it was just so darn embarrassing. Oh my gosh, it was all just awful, and it still hurts."

"Well fuck, why wouldn't it hurt? Putting hot wax on that, that is just every kind of wrong."

And then she slid down under the covers and did a little sumthin' for him she knew would help him get a good night's sleep. Damn, she was a thoughtful wife his Beth.

"I love ya Baby, love ya large."

And she said, "I love you Daryl, you're my heart."

Two days later he and Merle met for a quick beer after work. He didn't know why he asked Merle 'bout anythin', Merle's a dumb ass, but dammit he talked ta him 'bout everythin', I mean fuck, Merle's his brother and all, "Hey Merle, ya ever heard of a Brazilian Wax?"

And Merle looked kinda horrified and he said, "Damn, Cindy did that a few weeks ago, I don't know what the fuck she was thinkin'. I told her don't ever do that shit again. If ol' Merle wants ta have sex with someone who's bald, I'll just beat off." And then he cackled like Merle does.

A/N Yep, there it is. I welcome your prompts for more of this particular Dixon world. Thanks so much for reading, please review. xo
