Beth was pretty much operating on autopilot after she shot Rio, she had came home and told the girls they were free that was 3 months ago and she was scared of her own shadow.
Agent Turner had mysteriously disappeared too and she was grateful, with the trauma of shooting Rio, a FBI agent investigating her, putting her house up for sale and divorcing Dean she was at her wits end.
It should have came at no surprise that she was pregnant too and for the man she killed she was 5 months and barely showing the doctor saying the baby was healthy was what had her sighing in relief.
They were moving to California one of her suburban moms had a cousin that was interested in moving in the neighborhood and her house was on the market so they were negotiating buying the other persons house.
Beth stares at the ceiling tears sprang in her vision her baby wouldn't know its father and Marcus lost his dad. Wiping the tears away she reached for her phone and dialed Annie's number.
"Hey Annie!" She needed a break
"Sup sis you sound tired?"
"Can you watch the kids tonight I'll drop them off at your house?" Annie made a noise of agreeing and hanging up shouting at Sadie in the background before.
Getting out of bed Beth realized her stomach grew rounder overnight and outward too,
"'Maybe people will think I'm just fat." She muttered to herself going downstairs.
The house was empty as she got the kids off to school and curled back in bed having no where to go anyways. Walking into the kitchen upon entering seemed fine but closer inspection made her realize her coffee pot was ok the counter where it certainly wasn't when she brought the kids to school.
She knew this cause she most certainly had to give up caffeine recently learning she's pregnant. Little things like this had been happening over the course of a month having her freaking out.
She decided to do something stupid the she argues with Ruby about when they watch scary movies
"Hello anyone here?" She walked into the living room seeing it empty and heads to the back yard.
There sitting in all black on her bench in his damn beanie is Rio the ghost she keeps seeing.
"Your not real," she chokes out covering her mouth thinking she's going to be sick
"Na ma I'm hella real and plenty pissed." She advances on her pulling his golden gun that she shot him with and aimed it at her
"I'm pregnant Rio please don't shoot me!" That gave him pause and he slowly let his gaze travel to her barely visible bump
"Bull fucking shit Elizabeth, times come ma face it like a boss bitch" he cocks his head to the side
"I'm not lying Rio I'm 5 months we had sex that last time without protection and ta da baby," she was annoyed what's with him and saying she's always lying
He eyed her then walked out the yard without a backwards glance.
She exhaled softly feeling laughter bubbling up and out which turned into painful sobs as she sank into the grass. He wasn't dead but fuck if she wouldn't be regardless of the baby, shit just got real.
