Beth's POV:

The ride back to the hospital was silent, but it was a comfortable silence. I finally got the answers to the question that I wanted. Now, all I kept thinking about is how we're going to sort our relationship out for Sophie. I can't just ask Daryl to stay because that's how he ran away from me the first time; I would run away too I woke up next to guy a claiming to be my husband. Right now, we have to take baby steps before we can get back to where we used to be.

Ten minutes later we had pulled up in front of the hospital. It took a while before Daryl found a parking spot. Once he did, we got out the car and immediately headed for the room that was holding our daughter. My heart nearly dropped when I saw the last person I expected to see in the waiting room. Jimmy was here. Also, so was Maggie and Shawn, but I'm confused why was Jimmy here. I haven't really spoken to him in years. The only person who still speaks to him is Shawn. His appearance changed a lot; he was now longer the scrawny boy I used to date. Now, he was muscular, had a full grown beard, and had grown two inches taller than when I last saw him.

I didn't have a chance to speak because Maggie had already pulled me into a bear hug. As soon she pulled away, she went straight to Daryl and began to talk to him. I looked at Daryl and could see he was unconformable. I completely forgot Daryl was here because of Jimmy's surprise appearance. I muttered a quick hello to Shawn and Jimmy, before heading into the room my daughter was staying in. When I walked into the room a nurse was attending to her, I didn't know if I should move any closer because I didn't want to disturb what the nurse was doing.

"It's ok, Sweetie. I'm finished," The nurse said noticing my hesitation. I didn't wait any longer; I went to Sophie's side. She was still sleeping but I'm glad she's ok. As I studied her face I noticed she was slowly starting to look more like Daryl. I took a seat in the chair next to her hospital bed. I remembered the day she was born like it was yesterday.

*Flashback*

Daryl and I were moving into the house my father gave us. I still couldn't believe daddy gave us a house. Daryl didn't like the fact that he gave us a house, but eventually he accepted it because we're going to have a child at any moment. I'm nine months pregnant and I can't wait to deliver this baby soon. I love her but this whole waddling thing had to end soon. I look like penguin each time I walk.

" I can't wait till she comes out, " I said while holding my stomach. Daryl was currently unpacking one of the boxes.

"Me neither and so can't your family", He said continuing to remove items from the box.

"I'm tired of looking and walking like a penguin," I said. Don't get me wrong, I love our baby but it takes too much effort to walk nowadays. I looked up at Daryl who was now looking at me. Did I say something wrong? My worries were quickly reassured when he said,

"A sexy penguin," he said with a smirk on his face. I couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculous comment. I playfully slapped him on the shoulder, to which in response he began to tickle me. I had to get out of his grasp quickly because I'm extremely ticklish and I didn't want to go into labor because I was laughing. Once I found a way out, I began to run or shall I say waddle quickly. Daryl obviously caught up to me quickly.

"Gottcha," He said holding me from behind.

"I'm sorry," I managed to get out between laughs.

"You're forgiven," He said before walking back to unpack some more stuff. Before he could walk back, I pulled him into a kiss. The kiss turned into a make out session that ended quickly when I felt water run down my legs.

"Daryl, I think my water broke," I said sort of out of breath. Daryl didn't ask any more questions, he went to get the things that I prepared for my trip to the hospital. I walked slowly to the car. Once I made it to the car, he was already outside putting my stuff in the backseat of the truck before helping me inside the car. Daryl speed through traffic and I was almost certain that we would not only get a ticket but I'd deliver this baby in this car.

Once we made it to the hospital, Daryl grabbed my hand and my stuff and we rushed into the hospital. I wasn't really experiencing labor pains until I we arrived in front of the hospital. Daryl found somewhere for me to sit, before rushing towards the receptionist. It was long before nurses came and helped me into a wheel chair. As they rolled me to the maternity ward, the only thing I could think of was how much pain I was in. I didn't know if Daryl was following or not.

After a 16 hour labor, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I was exhausted but relieved that my baby was ok. I could hear her crying while doctor cut of the umbilical cord. I don't know how many minutes had passed, before the nurse handed me a clean bundled up baby. I could feel tears of joy run down my face. The baby looked like a mix between me and Daryl. There was no way of knowing her eye color because currently they were shut. Daryl came into the room shortly after the nurses handed me the baby. Before I handed off the baby to Daryl, I showed him how to correctly hold her. The sight of Daryl holding our baby was the cutest thing I've ever seen.

"You're going to be a little Ass kicker, aren't ya?" Daryl said while looking at her. I was about to say something when my parents walked in,

"I sure hope she isn't," My father said. I guess he had heard what Daryl said. My father kissed me on the forehead, while my mother gave my hand a quick squeeze before walking towards Daryl. Daryl looked like he didn't want let go of her just yet, but he did anyways.

"So, what are you going to name?" My mom asked while holding the baby. I don't know what we're going to name her. Daryl and I discussed names, but Daryl didn't really care too much for name as long it wasn't a terrible one.

"Sophie," I said. That was the first name that popped into my head and somehow that name just fit her. I looked at Daryl, who seemed pleased with the name choice.

"Sophie Dixon," Daryl said with a smile on his face.

*Flashback ended*

I was woken up by the nurse entering the room; I hadn't even realized that I had fallen asleep. I checked the time on my phone and saw that it was 7:02 a.m.; Sophie was still sleeping so I decided get a coffee quickly. I wanted to be there when she woke up. As I exited out the room, I saw Shawn and Maggie sleeping in the waiting room chairs. I almost forgot that Shawn, Maggie, and Jimmy came to see me. I'm still confused as to why Jimmy came in the first place. Also, where's Daryl? I hope he didn't run away. I felt bad for leaving him alone, but I didn't really feel like talking to them.

As I was heading towards the cafeteria, I bumped into someone. We both said sorry at the same time. I looked up and saw the last person I wanted to see, Jimmy. I was about to walk away when he grabbed my hand stopping me.

"Beth, wait," He said.

"What do you want?" I said before removing his hand off mine.

"I'm sorry what happened to your daughter, I'm just glad she's alright." He said.

"Well, thanks for coming but seriously why are you here?"

"You know why I'm here, Beth." I seriously didn't know why he was here. Why didn't speak for 6 years now he just shows randomly in my life.

"No, I actually don't. I don't see any purpose of you being here in fact. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get myself something to drink." I probably sound harsh, but there's really no reason for him to be here unless he wants something. I waited for him to say something but he didn't, so I began to walk away.

"Why did you leave me, Beth?" He said causing me to freeze in place.

"I didn't leave you," I said with my back still facing towards him.

"Beth, don't lie to me. I woke up that morning alone and you were nowhere to be seen. I tried going back to your house, but each time I came to your house your father told me you were not home. So, why did you leave me? Weren't you happy?"

I felt my heart sink to the bottom of my chest, if that's even possible. I felt the sudden urge to vomit right now. The memory of me leaving him flashed in my mind quickly.

"Jimmy now isn't the right time to discuss this," I said with my back still facing towards him. I couldn't bear to look at him right now. I was afraid that if I did I might explode.

"When is the right time? In another 6 years? Beth, we were supposed to be married but you left me. I was planning on proposing to you that morning, but you left me. You left me for some old red neck. Did you even love me Beth?" I could hear the hurt in his voice.

"I did," I said now facing him. He was trying not to get angry and I was trying my hardest not to cry.

"Then why did you leave me?"

I couldn't really answer that question because if I did it would seem that I never did really love Jimmy at all, which is not true. I did love Jimmy while I was with him, but that love slowly faded away. The only love I have and had for Jimmy was like a brother. I was afraid to tell him that, so that's why I left him.

"I guess not," Jimmy said walking past me. I couldn't let him go like this. I don't really like being in feuds with people. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't say anything. I don't want to wait another 6 years before I finally say something.

"I left you because I didn't love you in that way anymore. I began to see you as my brother, as my best friend, Jimmy. I didn't want to hurt your feelings so I left. I guess I still ended up hurting your feelings in the end anyways. I'm sorry, Jimmy." I could feel the tears rushing down my face. Jimmy didn't say anything at all, he just walked away. I was left alone crying in front of the cafeteria. Who knew the past could hurt so much? But I felt like a weight as been finally lifted off my shoulder.

I no longer wanted any coffee, after that confrontation. I decided to go outside for some fresh air. Once outside, I saw Daryl in the corner smoking a cigarette. I hated the smell of smoke, but I needed someone right now. Once Daryl saw me, he quickly stubbed out the cigarette. The smell of smoke still lingered in the air.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"A confrontation that has been on hold for years finally happened," I said. I expected us to stand in silent for a while, so you can imagine how shocked I was when Daryl hugged me. After the initial shock, I hugged him right back. Even though, he currently smelled like smoke, the hug seemed to wash away all my problems. Which is how, I knew I made the right decision in the end. There was no comparison between Jimmy and Daryl. Jimmy was my first crush, but Daryl was my first love and it feels like I'm falling in love with him all over again.

A/N: I had to write to this chapter today because I'll be out of town next week, so enjoy. I think this my first and last time writing in my Beth's point of view. Let me know if you enjoyed it. Also, I don't know anything about birthing no babies lol, so please forgive me if I got anything inaccurate. I asked my mom, did some research, and from what I can remember from TV shows helped me write that scene. I don't know if I did it any justice but I hope it's decent enough.
