A/N : Thanks for the wonderful reviews, favorites and follows guys, it means a lot to me I have to update tonight, because I'm going camping on the weekend and I won't be here to update on Saturday! Hope you enjoy
Maggie POV
The group had certainly noticed a different energy around the prison since Beth and Daryl returned from their supply run the previous week, though no one had said much about it. Maggie now caught Beth smiling to herself at times when she thought no one was looking, instead of showing an emotionless, somewhat grim expression.
The difference could be detected in Daryl as well, though more subtly. There seemed to be an almost spring in his step, and the gruff redneck appeared to have a sort of openness about him—not that he'd actually attempt to talk to many outside of the original prison group.
Maggie wondered what had brought on the change in the seemingly unreadable Daryl. She figured the change in her sister was from her finally getting over her suicide attempt...it had been months ago, but Maggie knew that Beth still had nightmares about it, and fought to stay alive. She didn't expect her sister to be totally over it right away, she knew it'd take months for her to get back to normal, but she was glad her younger sister was ok.
The rest of Maggie's day went by normally; killing walkers that had crowded the fence, trying to secure it more, the usual stuff. They had a lot more people to protect now, so they were always trying to improve their security.
"Hey kiddo, you feelin ok?" Maggie asked as she walked into Beth's cell. The younger Greene sister was feeding Judith.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Beth appreciated Maggie's concern, but had been caught off guard about it. She hadn't been as persistent in checking up on Beth as she had before they found the prison.
"I was just thinkin', you look like you been better ever since that supply run you went on a couple days ago," Maggie mentioned. She didn't want to directly confront Beth about her sudden change in mood, but she wanted to talk about it.
"Have I? I didn't notice," Beth admitted. "It's probably just cause of all the supplies we found. It's good to have all that formula for Judith. Makes me feel like we can keep her healthy for a while longer."
Maggie nodded in approval. "Yeah, it's sure a good feelin'. She's gettin' quite big now," she responded.
Beth smiled. "Yeah, she sure is." As she said this, she took the bottle from the baby's mouth and set it on the table near her bed. She shifted Judith into an upwards position and began to burp the baby.
Maggie left then, as she wanted to find Glenn. She'd meant to mention this change to him as well, but of course he was the first one to bring it up. "You noticed a different mood spreading around here?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I have," Maggie responded, "ever since Daryl and Beth came back from that run. Wonder whats goin' on..."
"They're probably just happy they found all that stuff for Judith," Glenn attributed the happy atmosphere to the supplies, as Beth had.
"Yeah, that must be it," Maggie mused. She couldn't let go of the suspicion that something else had happened on that run that no one but Beth and Daryl knew about. Maggie knew her sister wasn't afraid to keep secrets, and she didn't really blame her. Their parents had a tendency to overreact when either of them went against their very conservative ways, so Maggie wasn't a stranger to secret keeping either. But she had a feeling this one would be out sooner than later.
A/N Well there's my shitty attempt at a 'cliffhanger.' No one knows about Beth and Daryl's kiss of course, and no one's gunna be happy when they do...Also, school starts for me next week (boo) so I might not be able to update until after that week. Hope you guys enjoyed this update
