The living situation was a little bit different now. Beth, Maggie, Daryl, and Glenn were in one house by themselves. Right next door was Rick, Carl, Judith, and Michonne. It worked for them. By limiting the number of people in the house, everyone had a bit more space. Beth and Daryl had their own room, as did Maggie and Glenn. Plus two bedrooms to spare.
Glenn was off doing Glenn things, Daryl was on a run with Rick—leaving Judith to with Beth. She carried the toddler—couldn't even call her a baby anymore. She was growing up so fast.
Beth found Maggie in the bathroom, sitting on the floor in front of the sink. "What are you doing?" Beth asked.
"I'm just going through some stuff, do you want these?" Maggie held up a box of tampons. "I don't need them..." She rubbed her stomach. Maggie had told Beth about her pregnancy soon after she came back that night, the one where they were under attack from the walkers. The night four whole weeks ago.
"Right um," Beth chewed on her lip for a minute. She just came to a realisation. She hadn't needed that specific product in a while. Like six whole weeks, if she counted right.
"What?" Maggie met her sister's eyes.
"Nothing," she tucked her blonde hair behind her ear. "I just can't remember the last time I needed those..." She looked away nervously.
"Do you think you could be pregnant?" The brown haired green sibling asked.
"I don't really know. We've been safe though. I don't think that I am. I mean I couldn't be..."
"C'mon, we can go to the clinic and see if it's possible."

Daryl glared at Rick as he played the annoying music. "Alright," Rick said, turning down the music. "Let's talk about you and Beth, then."
This earned another glare from Daryl. "We don' need ta talk 'bout 'er."
"No, we don't. But I'm curious."
"What's there ta be curious about?" Daryl looked out the window. Yes, he loved Beth. He just didn't think that he needed to explain that to Rick. Maybe that would shut him up.
Rick didn't really know where he was going with this. He thought Beth and Daryl's relationship was cute. They were both good people and they deserved to be happy. "You two deserve each other. It's good for you."
Daryl nodded, he knew Rick was being a good friend or whatever. But all of this kind of made him uncomfortable. He just didn't know what to say.

As Beth, Maggie, and Judith walked, Beth was internally freaking out. She wanted a baby with Daryl. More than almost anything else. She loved him and would be happy to have his children. But she didn't want everyone knowing before he did—if she was, in fact, pregnant.
"Maggie, maybe we should wait. I don't want everyone to know...if I am, I mean."
"I'm sure Denise just has a test somewhere in the clinic."
"But I don't want her to know."
"We'll take it home with us."
"Okay," Beth said.
"Wouldn't that be excitin'? Both of us pregnant at the same time?"
"I guess it kind of would be," Beth smiled, rubbing her stomach. She had already decided that she would be okay with the result either way. She loved Daryl and Alexandria was as safe as it could get for them.
The only problem was Daryl's reaction. He was kind of a wild card in every situation. She really didn't think that he would be happy about her having a baby. It was a dangerous kind of situation. She could easily die. But for some reason, that didn't scare her. She knew that she wanted this to be true. She knew that she really wanted this baby to exist. She wanted to grow a full pregnancy belly and waddle around. She wanted to be pregnant at the same time as her sister and then have the Rhee child and the Dixon child to grow up as best friends (and cousins).
"Denise, could we get a pregnancy test?" Maggie asked quietly when they walked in. The woman looked at the two for a moment, her eyes landing on Beth, before smiling.
"Sure." She grabbed one from a shelf in the clinic.
"I expect the rules of Doctor patient confidentiality still apply here?" Maggie rose an eyebrow.
"Of course. If the test is positive, come back and we can get you set up on some vitamins. Beth nodded and accepted the test from the other female's hands. Maggie took it and shoved it in her pocket.
The two Greene sisters strode down the road and made it back to their home. Maggie was excited for her sister. She knew that Beth did want a baby, even if she hadn't told Daryl that. Besides that, Daryl and Beth would make great parents. This was a good thing. Maggie saw her own pregnancy and her sister's possibility of one as a blessing. Not a curse.
They made it back to the house and the sisters made a trade. Beth handed Maggie Judith in exchange for the pregnancy test. Beth took it and disappeared upstairs to go to the bathroom.
AN: What do you think? Is Beth pregnant? Should she be? This one was a bit longer than last week. I hope you liked it. I will post again before Sunday so leave your reviews and I might just get it out faster ;) thank you guys!
