Beth woke up tangled in Daryl's arms and Tay snuggled up right next to them. Although Beth and Daryl never got to burning off those calories, Beth was happy that they got to cuddle all night. With Tay being in the same room as them and on the bed with them, Beth wasn't about to do the dirty. Beth slipped out of bed and took a quick shower. Since Daryl was in the room Beth felt it okay to leave Tay be. Tay has been having nightmares and Beth doesn't like her to be alone. Beth got out of the shower and slipped into some jean shorts and a tank top with one of Daryl's buttoned up shirts to go over. She slipped her old cowboy boots on and looked in the mirror. As she pulled her hair up in a ponytail she felts arms around her waist. "I like the way my shirt looks on you." he mumbled in her ear. Beth turned around and looked up to meet Daryl's eyes. She smiled as she leaned up to kiss his lips. He brushed her loose strands of hair behind her ear and cupped her cheek. She tangled her hands in his hair as he deepened the kiss. His hands roamed her body as Beth nipped the bottom of his lip. Daryl ran his hand under her tank top and started to pull it up. "Daryl, we can't do this here." Beth giggled. "Where can we do it then?" Daryl smirked hoping Beth only knew he was kidding. He could wait a lifetime until she was ready. "Beth, i'm only kidding." Daryl kissed her forehead. "I know Daryl." she smiled.
Beth wiggled her hips as she walked away. She turned and looked at Daryl as she did so, looking for a reaction out of him. She cupped her hand over her mouth as she muffled her giggle. Daryl looked all red in the face as he knew what she was doin. Daryl wanted her right there right now but he could wait. Beth walked over to the bed and stared at Tay in awe as she looked so adorable snuggled up to the pillow. Today was Beth's birthday she was 19, although she didn't think anyone knew. The group was running out of supplies and some of the guys were gonna go on a run later. "Beth?" Daryl mumbled. She turned around to face him. " Yes, ?" she smirked at him. He walked over to her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Happy 19th Birthday." he whispered in her ear. "Thank you Daryl. I didn't think anyone knew." she blushed. "I have been keepin track of the days." he scratched the back of his neck. Maggie came into the room and coughed. "With all that starin, I would think ya'll would have torn eachothers clothes off." Maggie giggled. "Shut up Maggie!" Beth hissed. "Calm down sis, I just came in here to say Happy Birthday and I love you Bethy." Maggie smiled. "Also I'm gonna watch Tay tonight." she added. "Watch Tay? For what?" Beth questioned. "Not my place to tell." Maggie said as she walked out of the room. Beth turned to look at Daryl. He put his hands up, " I dunno what she's talkin about." he blurted out. Beth furrowed her eyebrows. Why was everyone bein so weird this mornin? Beth shrugged it off.
"Beth, can I take a bath?" Tay pleaded. "Of course baby, let me go run your water." Beth said as she walked into the bathroom. Beth sat in the bathroom and read while Tay played with the very few bath toys she had found. One thing she wanted for her birthday was for Judith to be back with Rick and the group. She missed the little cutie pie. It's been awhile since she had held Judith in her arms. She loves Judith and Tay the same. She just has a different bond with each of them. "Beth, I'm ready to get out." Tay broke through Beth's thoughts. "Okay baby, let me get you a towel." she giggled. Beth walked to the cupboard and pulled out a towel. She wrapped Tay in the towel and carried her to the bed. Picking out a buttoned up shirt and jeans for her to wear. Beth dressed Tay like herself because it was cute. Tay slipped on her little cowboy boots as she sat between Beth's legs for her to brush her long blonde hair. "Beth can you do my hair like yours?" Her little voice asked. "Yes, I will baby." Beth cooed. Brushing all the tangles out Beth pulled Tays hair up in a ponytail. As she smoothed out the ponytail she started the little braid inside it. Tay got up and looked in the mirror. "Beth, I look just like you!" She blurted out with a smile on her face. Beth giggled as Tay was smiling like a goofball. Tay ran up to Beth and hugged her waist since she is not very tall. "I love you Beth." she mumbled into Beth's waist. Beth's heart sped up and ached as Tay's words echoed through her ears. She would do anythin for this little girl but knowing Beth was the only one left to her made her upset. Beth leaned down and kissed her cheek. "I love you too baby." she whispered.
Tay ran out of the room excited to go find Daryl. She wanted to show him what Beth did to her hair and how she dressed her. Tay walked around the corner of the house to find Daryl leaning against the wall with a cigarette in his hand. "Daryl, look how Beth dressed me and did my hair." She smiled big. "You look adorable." Daryl responded. Daryl thought about tonight. He was taking her up to this waterfall he found the other day. He had everything already set up. It made his stomach churn and he was nervous. What if she don't like it? Daryl shook those thoughts from his head. Daryl told Maggie so she would watch Tay for Beth. Daryl glanced through the window and saw Beth cleaning the house as usual. She was always doin shit. Sometimes it annoyed him because she over worked herself. Daryl was a little anxious to leave Tay alone with Maggie. It's not that he didn't trust her it's just that he rather have her with him or Beth. If somethin were to happen while they were out Daryl would lose it. He couldn't have anythin happen to Tay, Beth would be crushed as well as himself. Daryl watched Tay swing on the swing. She was laughing and smiling and he just couldn't help but smile. Beth watched as Daryl watched Tay. Beth's heart rate picked up as she was in awe. Daryl cared so much for this little girl, Beth never knew he would grow so attached to her. I guess you could say Beth Greene had her own little family.
It was later in the evening and Daryl told Beth about his plans. Beth was grinning from ear to ear. Her stomach fluttered as she thought about bein alone with Daryl. Would she finally get to do what she wanted to him? She was excited to finally have the archer alone tonight on her birthday. Beth went upstairs to find somethin cute to wear. She stood at her closet for quite sometime until she settled on the outfit she already had on. One of Daryl's plaid shirts with a tank top underneath and her jean shorts that were really short. Since they didn't have much to pick from Beth wasn't complaining. Her cowboy boots clicked on the hardwood floor as she headed downstairs to meet Daryl. Beth bit her lip as she saw Daryl standing there with lust in his eyes. She didn't blame him, she wanted it just as bad as he did. Beth kissed Tay's forehead as she was getting ready to leave. "I love you baby, I will see ya tonight, okay." Beth said as she hugged the little one tight. "Okay, Beth. Aunt Maggie said we are gonna have lots of fun." she giggled. Tay jumped in Daryl's arms as she said goodbye. Daryl took Beth's hand and lead her out the door. As Beth and Daryl continued into the woods it was quiet. Only the sound of their shallow breathing filled their ears. Daryl stopped and turned to face Beth. He had the slightest smile mounded on his face. Pressing his body to Beth's as he pushed her up against a tree. Pulling his lips to hers she tangled her hands in his hair. Kissing along her jawline he moved down to her collarbone. A moan escaped her lips as he nipped at the spot. Smirking he stopped, pulling her further into the woods. She pouted as she realized he was teasing her, payback from earlier today. Guess she knows that he can play that game too. Only does she know just how to make him squirm. Coming up to a clearing Beth gasped at the beautiful sight. There was candles lit and a blanket with flower petals scattered all around. Tears filled her eyes as she was so astonished by what Daryl had done just for her.
"I love you Daryl Dixon." she croaked out. Beth kissed his lips softly as Daryl whispered through the kiss "I Love you Beth Greene." Daryl kissed Beth hard wanting nothing more than to get lost in this kiss with her. Beth bit her bottom lip and looked through her long eyelashes, " You wanna burn those calories off?" she mumbled. "You look so cute when you blush." Daryl chuckled. Beth looked at the ground but Daryl pulled her face up to meet his. He smashed his lips to hers pushing her up against the rock wall. The sound of the waterfall running through their ears. His hands roamed her body as he felt a slip of skin from the tank top riding up. Beth gasped as his cold hands touched her stomach. As minutes passed more and more pieces of clothing were thrown off. Soon enough both of them were naked beneath the blanket and ready to have fun. Well it was Beth's first time so maybe not so much fun. Daryl was being very gentle with her considering she's never done this. As they continued Beth was moaning in pleasure. Daryl fell on top of her and both were panting. As they lay there only the sound of their shallow breathing and the waterfall was heard. Beth moved Daryl's hair from his sweaty forehead and kissed his lips. Daryl smiled against her lips as he cupped her cheek. After their breathing returned to normal and they put their clothes back on, they ate some deer meat. Daryl filled a glass of wine for his girl and just drank from the bottle because eh who needs cups. Beth laid her head on his chest as she listened to his heartbeat. She was fallin asleep as Daryl ran his fingers through her hair. Man did he love the smell of her hair and the sound of her voice. Just hearing her would calm him down in any situation.
It was late and Beth could barely keep her eyes open. Daryl was yawning a lot too. The walk back seemed to last longer as the moonlight guided them home. It was quiet which was strangely weird. Neither of them were complaining though. "Daryl, thank you for today." Beth murmured out with a yawn to follow. "No need to thank me, you deserve a break every now and then." Daryl replied. Coming up to the door Beth and Daryl walked in. Maggie and Tay sat on the couch all snuggled up. Beth and Daryl got back from her birthday date. Beth was super tired considering the evening she had, so she went up to her room leaving Daryl alone in the living room with Tay. Maggie followed Beth upstairs to hear about her birthday night. Tay looked at him with a big smile spread across her face."Daryl, Beth is like my mommy and you two are together so, Daryl will you be my daddy?" She looked at him with her big green eyes. Daryl stood frozen not sure what to say to the little girl. "Tay, no matter what happens, I will always be there for you. Even though i'm not your dad, I will protect you and keep you safe as if you were my own." Daryl lowered himself to the little girl. "You don't wanna be my daddy? Is it because I'm bad?" She asked in a sad voice. Daryl pulled the little girl onto his lap. "Sweetheart, it's not because I don't want to be your dad but I can't replace your dad. I can be there for you like your daddy would have been and Beth will love and protect you like your mommy would have." The little girl looked at him and nodded. Daryl kissed the little blondes forehead and carried her upstairs to the room.
