I'm so so so sorry this took so long to get out.
I had to appeal my disability which takes forever and my roommate skipped out on my so I've been worried about bills and not really in the best of moods for writing.
Silver lining we only have 9 more days until the premiere!
Daryl all tied up should make all of us hot in our drawers.

"Daddy!"

"Now don't worry Beth. Your father's just being an old fashioned fuddy duddy. You two take all the time you need."

Hershel's eyes narrowed and he looked like he was about to launch into one of his famous lectures but Annette simply walked over and whispered in his ear.

Now the humans in the room couldn't hear but the wolves heard perfectly.

"If you keep me from having grandpuppies because of some stupid tradition you'll be on the couch for the next year Hershel Greene."

Merle burst out laughing and when Beth looked around confused Rick met her eyes and mouthed "grandpuppies."

Daryl could feel the tips of his ears burn bright red and he refused to make eye contact with anyone.

Of course he'd thought of getting Beth pregnant.

There's nothing in the world he wanted more than a little girl with his eyes and Beth's golden curls or a little boy who'd give them both a run for their money.

He'd marry her first though.

His children should have his name.

Daryl started when he felt Beth's hand curl around his own and as he looked up at her he was struck again with how utterly beautiful she was.

His mark was on her neck and she smelled like sweat and sex and him.

Unable to restrain himself he leaned over and lay a gentle kiss over the small wound on her neck and smirked when he smelled the slight aroma of arousal that came forth.

"Daryl" she whispered.

If he thought his need for her would be abated after last night he was sorely mistaken.

All he could think of was finding a way to drag her somewhere secluded so he could take her all over again.

Hershel pointedly cleared his throat. and Beth and Daryl sprang apart red as apples.

"Today we need to fortify the fences so Rick I expect you, Merle, and Daryl to work on the Southern section of the farm."

Carl looked confused, "What about me"

"You're coming with me and Beth to pick up some things in town." Lori said.

Fearing a pre-pubescent sulk Beth smiled at Carl.

"We need a big strong man to help us carry our bags."

Carl blushed and Daryl's hand tightened around Beth.

Beth simply shook her head.

Her mate could be such a jealous boy sometimes.

"What about Michonne?" Rick asked.

"While she's finished healing she needs to rest up. She's been through quite a lot." Hershel said as he passed his plate over to Beth.

Standing up Beth casually ran her hands over Daryl's shoulders and delighted in the shiver that racked his body.

She could tell by the look in his eyes she would pay for teasing him.

She couldn't wait.

Gathering up dirty dishes Beth followed her mother into the kitchen.

She was taken aback when Annette turned towards her and wrapped her up in her arms.

"Mama?"

Annette stepped back and discreetly wiped her eyes.

"My baby's grown up and has found her other half. You'll be getting married soon and having babies of your own."

Beth flushed prettily and kissed her mother on the cheek.

"So you're ok with this? Me and Daryl" she asked anxiously..

Annette scoffed.

"Oh sweetheart. The way he looks at you is the way your father looks at me. You're the center of his world. I wouldn't be surprised if he proposed after all this mess with the Governor is over."

Smiling to herself Beth looked at her mother.

"If he asked I wouldn't say no."

As Beth walked away Daryl sighed, stood up and stretched.

He wanted nothing more than to take Beth back to bed and hide there for the rest of the day but there was work to do.

Clapping Merle on the back they waited at the door while Rick kissed Lori and his daughter goodbye for the day.

"Didn't think you'd be letting Little Red out of your sight so soon little brother."

Daryl smirked.

"If I had my way I'd be there with her but we got shit to do to keep them safe."

Rick nodded and stripped off his button down shirt, leaving him in his wife beater.

"I know when I first got together with Lori we couldn't get enough of each other. Then we had Carl and we still couldn't get enough.:"

Merle stopped and stared at Rick.

"Even when she was knocked up?"
Rick smirked knowingly.

"Especially when she was pregnant. You don't know what it feels like to know that there's a piece of you inside someone you love. She smelled...like heaven. Like me."

Daryl was quiet but his mind was running a thousand miles an hour.

He could imagine how Beth would look swollen with his child.

He'd worship her belly before laying her on her back and feasting on her dripping pussy.

God! He needed her.

Shaking his lustful thoughts from his head he headed off with Rick and Merle to reinforce the fences.

Lori, Carl, Beth and Judith had all piled into Lori's SUV and were stocking up on groceries and sundries at the local Wal-Mart.

"You're the best baby ever. Yes you are!" Beth cooed as Judith played with her stuffed puppy.

Lori and Carl had gone to the electronics to pick up a new Game boy game for Carl so Beth was alone in the baby department looking at adorable onesies for Judi.

"She's a beautiful little girl."

Beth gasped and spun around.

The man was handsome in a politician sort of way but she knew who he was immediately.

His single eye was full of cruelty and cunning.

"Y...yes she is."

Trying to keep herself from visibly shaking Beth's eyes darted around trying to find a way out.

"I assure you I'm not here to hurt you." he smiled charmingly.

"My name is Phillip Blake and I'm here to save you."

Beth couldn't help looking shocked.

"Save me?

Brushing his hand lightly over Daryl's mark Phillip nodded.

"Save you from the beast who impregnated you. They're monsters. Abominations. You're stuck with him and you need help and I am here to give you that help."

Beth knew it was the wrong thing to do but she couldn't help the laugh that burst forth from her.

Immediately Phillip's entire countenance changed.

He grabbed her arm and brought her closer to him.

"Listen to me here you little whore. You're sleeping with a monster and that little mongrel over there will have more monsters and I'm here to stop that."

"Let me go!" Beth said as she struggled to free herself.

"Beth?!"

Wrenching herself free Beth grabbed Judi and ran to Lori and Carl.

Judith must have felt how upset Beth was because she began to wail.

Standing in front of his mother and his little sister Carl glared at Phillip.

"You come near my family again and I'll kill you."

The Governor threw his head back and laughed.

"You're a mongrel just like the other one. Don't threaten me boy."

Looking over the scared little group Phillip smirked and began to walk away.

"You're not what I want. I want your mates and now I know you'll lead me to them."

The men were taking a break from working on the fences when Rick's cell phone went off.

Wiping his forehead he reached into his back pocket.

"Hey Lor...what?!"

Daryl and Merle both gathered closer to Rick.

"What is it?"

"The Governor found them and threatened them. Called my children mongrels"

Daryl and Merle could see Rick shaking from rage.

Grabbing the phone from Rick Daryl told Lori to forget everything and to just get home.

Abandoning their tools the three wolves ran back to the farmhouse.

"What's the hurry?" Hershel asked.

"The Governor showed up. We need to get ready."

"I'm sorry for bringing him here."

Looking up as Michonne walked down the stairs Daryl could hardly care how the Governor got there he just wanted to get rid of him.

"We have to do what we have to do to get rid of him"

Merle looked at Rick appraisingly.

"Can you deal with that Officer Friendly?"

Merle and Daryl had never see such a dark look in the normally noble Rick's eyes.

"He threatened my wife and my children. I'll tear his throat out with my teeth if it comes to that."

Michonne smirked.

"You may just get the chance."

Waiting for Lori and Beth to get to the house was killing Daryl so when he heard the rumble of an SUV crash down the dirt road he was on his feet along with Rick running outside to greet their family.

Rick had Lori's door open before the car fully stopped.

He pulled her out and clutched her to his chest.

"He didn't hurt you right?" he said as he checked her over.

Lori was trying to stay strong but in the face of her husband she couldn't hold back.

Sobbing, Lori buried her face in Rick's neck.

Daryl waited for Beth to open the door to grab her.

When she winced and yelped he knew something was wrong.

Shoving her sleeve up he saw the hand shaped bruise on her upper arm.

Beth was shocked with how still Daryl got once he saw the bruise on her arm.

"I'm going to kill him slowly and painfully."

Laying a kiss on her forehead he gently told Beth to follow everyone else and go into the house.

He needed to run before he lost his mind.

Shedding his clothes in the barn Daryl welcomed the change.

The burning and ache that came from the shifting of his bones distracted him from the all consuming rage he felt.

Running through the woods Daryl's animal mind kept thinking of the threat to his mate.

Rick knew what he was talking about when he said he'd rip Phillip's throat out with his teeth.

Daryl's own jaws ached with the need to rend his flesh from his bones.

He didn't know how long he had run for but by the time he got back everyone was in bed.

Sighing he quietly crept up the stairs and into Beth's room.

Leaning against the doorjamb he stood there and simply gazed at his mate sleeping peacefully in her bed waiting for him.

He'd tear Phillip apart before he ever got near her again.

Sliding into bed behind Beth Daryl's eyes went wide with shock.

"Beth" he whispered "why are you completely naked?

As she stretched the blanket fell from her slim shoulders and revealed two perfectly round breasts.

"Mmm. I missed you and I wanted you here with me."

Daryl swallowed and tried to control himself.

"But...your father...Hershel."

Beth placed one finger over Daryl's mouth and shushed him.

"What daddy doesn't know won't hurt him. Besides we both need a little comfort right now, don't you think?"

Smirking a little Daryl rolled Beth beneath him.

"S'pose you got a point there, don't you little girl."

As he scraped his teeth over his bite mark he slid one hand down her chest and between her thighs.

Breathing out a laugh he slid two fingers inside her dripping pussy.

"How long have you been waiting for me Beth? Waiting for me to lay you out and make you come as many times as possible."

Beth stuffed her hand inside her mouth to stifle her moans.

"Yeah, you can't help yourself. So wet baby girl. Wet just for me." he said as he began to rub tight little certain around her engorged clit.

Licking from her collar bone to her chin he took her mouth with a fiery kiss, thrusting his tongue inside to taste her sweetness.

Grinding his cock into her stomach he knew he wasn't going to last long once he got inside of her.

She was tight hot perfection wrapped around him and he was already half gone just watching her muffle her own cries of ecstasy.

Her moans reached a fever point as he crooked his fingers and pressed into the rough patch inside her.

"That's it baby. Come all over me. Soak my hand."

He watched as her thighs trembled and her wetness gushed all over his fingers.

Daryl gently slid his fingers out of her quivering pussy and rubbed them over his mouth and nose.

"Love the way you taste and smell." he said licking his lips. "Now I'll smell you for hours."

As Beth lay panting, recovering from her first explosive orgasm she reached down and circled her fingers around Daryl's thick cock.

"Want you inside me. Now."

"Hold on. Let's try something new." he grinned down at her.

"Get on your knees baby girl."

As Beth clambered onto her knees she was breathless with anticipation.

She knew Daryl had been upset earlier and he was more closer to his animal than usual.

She wanted him to cover her, grab her hips and fuck her til she screamed.

Leaning on her elbows Beth shivered as Daryl ghosted his fingers down her spine.

Grabbing his cock Daryl teasingly thrust between the lips of her soaked pussy until Beth whined in disappointment.

Taking a hold of himself he slowly slid inside her tightness until his tip bumped into her cervix.

Beth gripped her pillow until her knuckles whitened.

Daryl set a leisurely pace and lost himself inside the sweetness of his mate.

As he sped up his thrusts he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Always so perfect and all mine. Made for me to hold, and need, and love."

Gasping Beth shoved her hips back into Daryl's thrusts and began panting every time he his her cervix with a burst of pleasurable pain.

"M...more." she moaned out.

Daryl's head fell back on his shoulders and he grasped her by the hips and began to pound into her, searching for his own release.

Beth knew her moans were getting to loud so she stuffed her pillow into her mouth and bit down.

Sliding one of his hands down Daryl began to rub her little clit.

He knew by the tightening of his balls that he didn't have much time but his pride wouldn't let him come first.

"Beth" he panted out, "Gotta come. Gotta feel you come on my cock. "

Leaning over Beth he began to nuzzle her throat, listening to her muffled screams as she came.

Daryl began to thrust erratically and with one final vicious pump of his hips he came biting down on the nape of Beth's neck, tasting her sweat mixed with tiny droplets of her blood.

Gently sliding out of her twitching pussy Daryl fell back on his side gasping and trying to catch his breath.

Beth shifted over and slid a leg over his hips.

"Oh my God. I don't think I'll be walking tomorrow." she laughed.

As Daryl gathered Beth up to nestle against his chest he chuckled.

"If you can't walk I'll just carry you. It's my fault anyway."

Twining her little fingers in his sparse chest hair Beth looked pensive.

"What's on your mind sweetheart?"

Sniffling a bit she buried her head in his chest.

"I didn't do anything when he came up to Judi and me. I didn't even scream. He could have hurt her and I didn't do anything!"

Daryl rubbed his hand up and down her back and gently nuzzled her neck.

"Beth he surprised you and it won't happen again. He comes near here I will tear him apart. He won't get near you or Judith. I'll protect you both with my life."

Looking up through her lashes she smiled tremulously.

"I know you'll protect us. You're the strongest man I know."

She laughed when his ears turned red.
