A/N: Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard own The Walking Dead. Not me. I do own my OC, Kenzie Rose. This is my latest story. If you read what I have posted already and are waiting for me to update it. I will as soon as I get the inspiration to write the chapter that needs to written. Have some faith in me please? And as always read and review please. Italics are thoughts. Underlines are flash backs/dreams.

Also I am making Beth a year older in this fic than she is in the show.

Sorry for not posting in awhile guys. Work is draining me physically, life is draining me emotionally, and writer's block is draining the creative flow I have. Not to mention that I have been trying to get a youtube gaming channel up. I hope to get stories updated this week. At least a couple of them.

I know this is short. But I figured this would be okay and next chapter be longer.

Chapter Six: There are Walkers in the Barn

"Andrea did. She thought you were a walker. She's lucky I've been here since they brought you inside." Beth said as she laid down next to Daryl and turned to face him. Daryl turned his head so he could look at her, smiling at her as he held Kenzie to his chest with his large hand on her small back.

"I can imagine what you would do to her." Daryl told her with a smile as Beth shifted so her head rested on his shoulder. Daryl pressed his lips to the top of her head and then buried his face into her hair.

"Punch her in the face. She was told not to shoot." Beth said as she pressed a kiss to Daryl's neck as the door opened to reveal Maggie. Beth sighed and buried her face into Daryl's shoulder.

"What do you want Maggie?" Daryl asked as he looked at her slight irritation as he held Beth close, happy that the blonde was resting since she seemed to be on the go since giving birth to Kenzie three days ago.

"To get my sister since Daddy doesn't want her near you. Something I agree with." Maggie said with a glare as she crossed her arms over her chest. Daryl growled and held Beth closer while Beth lifted her head up and glared at her sister.

"Daddy can come and try to get me himself if he wants me nowhere near Daryl." Beth said as she sat up rubbing Kenzie's head gently before standing up and walking over to Maggie. "You and Daddy both believe Jimmy that he and I both wanted to have sex when I conceived Kenzie. I didn't want it. I fought Jimmy as he forced himself on me. You may think that I want him around here, but I don't. I wanted to shoot him the moment he came here."

"What do you mean?" Maggie asked as he looked at her sister. She thought Beth was okay with Jimmy staying at the farm as long as he stayed away from her.

"Did you know that Daddy won't let me have any knives because of Jimmy being here? He's afraid I will do something stupid to Jimmy since I hold so much 'anger' towards the boy. I hate him. When Daryl and his group leave, Kenzie and I are leaving with them. Daryl is Kenzie's father. I'm not separating my daughter from her father." Beth told her sister of as she laid back down next to Daryl. Daryl looked over at Maggie, a glare set in his eyes that sent a slight shiver down her back.

"Fine, whatever." Maggie walked out the door, closing it while she left.

"About damn time." Daryl growled as he turned his gaze to Beth and smiled. "Get some sleep Nightingale, I'm right here." Daryl said softly as Beth closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Daryl soon heard Beth's breathing even out and couldn't help but feel at home with her in his arms as well as their daughter. Daryl closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after. The next day, Daryl went back out to his tent. Beth and Kenzie tended to stay in the house during the night, Herschel's request, though the two were with Daryl during the day. One morning, Beth leaning against Daryl's legs as she fed Kenzie, Glenn stood up.

"Um… Guys… There's walkers in the barn." Glenn stated causing everyone minus Beth to look up at him.

"You have walkers in the barn?!" Shane demanded Beth as Daryl growled protectively as he sat his food down. "You didn't think to tell us?!"

"Back off Walsh." Daryl growled as Beth finished feeding Kenzie and burped her.

"What can I say? You get here and I go into labor. I have a newborn to take care of Shane. Plus my father didn't want you to know as he thinks they are just sick. My mother and brother are in there." Beth spat at Shane before heading away from the group.

"Don't do anything Shane… Don't you dare hurt my girl anymore than you already have today." Daryl threatened before he went after Beth. "Beth!"

"I'm sorry. I should have told you about them." Beth said as she turned to look at Daryl.

"You have nothing to apologize for. You have Lil' Cherokee to worry about more than telling Walsh things that is not important to you at the moment." Daryl said as he went and hugged Beth close, pressing a kiss to her hair. "I'm sorry about Shaun and your mom. I know you were close to both of them."
