I really hate this but this is as good as it's going to get. This has been in my notebook forever and yeah.

Daryl would always remember the first time he ever saw Beth Greene. He had just been sitting on Glenn and Maggie's sofa glaring at anyone who went near him, and cursing Glenn for making him attend the stupid party. What Daryl wanted to be doing at that time instead was being in his cabin reading a good book or sketching potential things he could build.

Whilst he had been thinking about a design for a dresser he wanted to build for his guest bedroom, Glenn had approached him and basically started the course that would change his life. With Glenn was Beth and the first thing he noticed were her beautiful blue eyes. Her eyes were the most stunning shade of blue he had ever seen. The almond shape of her eyes, perfect for her face.

Her hair, that was in a ponytail, looked like a striking waterfall of gold, and the braid she had in it might have as well been woven by the gods. The smile she wore as Glenn introduced them was the most radiant thing he had ever seen. He firmly believed that he would never see anything as beautiful as her smile.

She had a petite body but her legs seemed to go on for miles. She had been wearing tight black jeans, and a black and white stripped blouse. She looked comfortable in her clothes and he really liked that. In the times he was forced to go out to bars with his brother he would observe the people, and one thing he noticed was the discomfort many girls tried to hide as they pulled down their too short skirts or dresses. He never understood why people didn't just dress to be comfortable. All he ever wanted in his life, as he grew up, was comfort and as he got older he managed to obtain some though he was still missing some, even though he stubbornly didn't want to admit so. However, as he shook Beth's soft and warm hand that basically electrified him, he couldn't help but sense that with her he strongly felt fully comfortable.

At first glance one would have thought that he was attracted to Beth's looks (and he was) but in all honesty Daryl knew, the moment his eyes met hers, that there was more to Beth than just her unquestionable beauty. And there was more to Beth than just her outer appearance. There was her kindness, passion, purity, selflessness, sense of humor and many more things that increased his attraction to her tenfold.

He remembered when he first went to the Greene family farm. By then he had been dating Beth for a month and he was extremely nervous to officially meet her father. He had briefly met Hershel Greene on one of the times he was volunteering with the fire department and there was a fire in a restaurant in the same complex of his veterinary clinic. The fire wasn't big but protocol did say that all people in the building or complex of where the fire was had to be evacuated just in case the fire spread or something worse happened. He and his fellow firefighters had helped Hershel, and Beth's brother Shawn, take all the animals they had to a far enough distance from the complex. By that time Daryl was already seeing Beth and it was obvious that Hershel and Shawn knew who he was, but at that time the three men were all business and safety, that they only shared small greetings and went to do their respective jobs.

That time didn't count.

The Greene's were a close family and on the first Sunday of every month they would throw a barbecue to spent time together. Beth had nervously asked him if he wanted to go with her and he gladly accepted. She had told him he didn't have to, that it might have been too soon to meet her father, but Daryl didn't see it like so. Yes, they had only been dating for three months but by then Daryl was shocked to realize that he was more than prepared to be in the long haul with Beth.

The Greene's had warmly welcomed him to their family, it seemed like they knew that it was serious, his and Beth's relationship. The interrogations and sibling warnings did occur, and even though Daryl was nervous and anxious about those at first, he realized that he shouldn't have been nervous at all. Beth's family obviously cared much for her and he really liked that her family was like that, he doubted Merle would give two cares about who he was dating.

He also liked his conversation with Hershel. He had asked him about his business, and volunteering and he seemed to be genuinely interested. He believed that Hershel would've been interested even if he wasn't dating Beth, because that was the type of man he was, interested to hear the story of everyone he met, just like his daughter.

Another thing he really liked, loved actually, were the many pictures that hung on the walls of the Greene farm. At one point during the barbecue he had gone inside the house to the bathroom and after relieving himself he was stopped from going back outside by the many pictures that the family had hung in their walls. School pictures of all three children, showing their growth through the years hung there. Old, black and white pictures of people that he didn't know but that he guessed to be Greene's from other generations also proudly hung on the walls, demonstrating that the Greene's had been here for a long time. A picture of an infant Beth with pigtails in her hair and a wide smile as she rode a toy bike captivated him. A picture of her on her horse, a picture of her in her school graduation carrying her diploma and sandwiched between her proud family, and a picture of her in the grand opening of her store all entranced him for what must have been a long time since Beth had gone to look for him, scared that he might have gotten lost.

However, a picture she even wasn't on engrossed him more. It was a picture of her parent's on what must have been their wedding day. There outside a church were Hershel and Annette staring happily at the camera and looking very much in love. And he couldn't help but to stare at Annette though, it was like he was looking straight at Beth. Beth was basically the mini version of her mother. She had the same blonde hair, same face shape, and petite figure from her mother but she got her eyes from her father he observed. He couldn't help but think about how their wedding picture would look like, though he had to stop himself from thinking further on because he was getting too ahead of himself.

However, whilst staring at the picture he couldn't help but think about how because of Hershel and Annette's marriage the world got Beth Greene. He was greatly grateful that her parents met, went to fall in love with each other, and get married and made and raised Beth. He extremely believed that the world would've been immensely dull if Beth didn't walk on it, and walking back to the barbecue with his hand grasping Beth's he couldn't help but think that the world would have been greatly dull if there weren't any Greene's at all.

The Greene's were the family he wished he had when he was young. The Greene's were the definition of a balanced family. Yes, like any other family there were their disagreements, he knew from what Beth told him, but overall the Greene's were a family that loved, and supported each other no matter what.

They were also doing well in looks if he was honest. Beth was obviously the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and Maggie had her good looks as well, and from what he saw when he saw Glenn looking at her, he knew that Maggie was the most beautiful woman Glenn had ever seen. Shawn the forever bachelor had his good looks too; his lifestyle clearly supported that fact.

Yeah, the Greene's had good genes both physical and emotional ones. All the members in the Greene family had kind souls and weren't the type of people to disdain or think they were better than anyone else. They were the type of people who welcomed every one they met, give them a chance, and not judge them from what the words of other said.

He truly liked all of the Greene family members.

He especially liked that beautiful blonde that was wearing the tightest black jeans, the ones she wore when they met, and that looked like they were painted on her. They were at another of the Greene family barbecues, Maggie and Shawn were being loud, arguing about who was the best driver and Hershel was just smiling at his children because he knew that neither were the best drivers, they both had the same amount of tickets to their names.

Beth approached him as he observed with entertainment the argument and as he thought that the Greene's were a great family and when he turned to Beth when she reached his side and placed his arm around her shoulders he hotly told her,

"I really like your genes."

And Beth could only narrow her eyes because she couldn't help but wonder if he meant her jeans or her genes. One look in his eyes told her that he meant both but that he liked her genes more. She knew that Daryl really loved her family and he also loved her jeans, especially when he got to take her out of them.
