A Secret Affair (Daryl Dixon) ON HOLD

Chapter 8

Beth wrung her hands together in till her fingers turned white. Daryl placed his hand on top of hers and smiled slightly.

"Calm down its not like Maggie's gonna hurt ya." He mumbled. Beth nodded clamping his hand between hers tightly.

"It's not me I'm worried about." Beth whispered. She drug her eyes from their hands and looked into his eyes. "I want to tell her alone. I think it will be better if you arnt there." Daryl s eyes narrowed but he nodded none the less. Footsteps sounded from the hallway and they both pulled their hands apart. Glenn strolled into the kitchen with a large smirk on his face.

"Some one got lucky last night." Daryl commented. Beth's face flamed and Glenn's grin grew wider.

"Oh yeah." He sat down at the table with them and folded his hands beneath his chin. "Now care to tell me why Bethy here was in your room all night last night?" They both froze and Glenn smiled. "Dont deny it. Maggie went to check on you last night. Almost had a fit when you weren't there. I had to distract her, told her you where probably getting something to drink." Beth buried her face in her hands.

"And what makes you think she was with me?" Daryl asked sounded almost bored. The smile on Glenn's face grew so big Daryl wanted to punch the korean.

"Well let's see I went to your room last night for one." He winked. "seems I wasn't the only one who got lucky. 'Oh Daryl don't stop.'" He mimicked in a high pitched moan. Beth groaned and let her head hit the table. Daryl however had a different reaction. He lurched to his feet causing his chair to hit the floor, and yanked the Korean up by the collar of his shirt. His free hand balled into a fist and he drew his arm back ready to swing when Bob and Sasha walked in.

"Woah Noah. whats going on?" Bob demanded as he shoved between Daryl and Glenn.

"I'm gonna kick his scrawny ass." Daryl roared causing Beth to lurch to her feet.

"Daryl stop!" She demanded and he cut his eyes to her.

"You gonna sit there and let him talk that shit about you? Huh? You might not wanna take up for your self but ill be God damned if I let some one trash talk my woman got it!" The last part of his sentence he directed at Glenn. The room grew deadly silent as Daryl fumed while Bob stared at him wide eyed and Sasha looked between Beth and him disgusted.

"I knew it." All heads snapped to the doorway where Maggie stood. With the blink of an eye she raised her arm, gun pointing at Daryl s head. Beth didn't think, she ran forward in till she was standing in front of Daryl.

"Move Beth." Maggie said as she pulled the hammer back on the gun.

"No." Beth said her voice determined.

"Maggs put the gun down." Glenn said softly as he approached her. Maggie shook her head eyes narrowing on Daryl Dixon.

"No this sick bastard is going to die. Beth's just a kid!" She snapped. "How could you Dixon? How could you take advantage of my baby sister? My daddy trusted you and yo.-"

"Dobt you think I know that." Daryl bellowed grabbing Beth and pushing her behind him. "Hell greene I felt like shit, still do. Herschel was a good man, probably the last good man this earth had and I defiled his youngest daughter. You wouldn't even begin to understand how I felt, feel about it." He was shaking Beth noticed. The muscles in his arms and back tensed as he took shallow breaths. She placed her hand on his back and he flinched slightly jerking away from her.

"This is why I tried to stay away from you." He snapped at her. He cut his eyes to Maggie who had lowered her gun and was staring at them both. everyone else was silent.

"I'm sorry." Beth whispered. She looked at her sister. "If you wanna be mad be mad at me. It's not Daryl fault. Yeah we both made a mistake but Daryl tried to fix it, he stayed away from me. Actually he made me feel like dirt." She cut her eyes to him and he scolded at her. "And I hated him like you do. But he did not take advantage of me! I wanted him just as much as he wanted me! And I don't regret it. How could I?" She whispered the last part her hands dropping to her stomach. Maggie's eyes fell with Beth's hands and she shook her head violently.

"no...oh god Beth." Tears filled Beth's eyes but she held them back.

"I'm pregnant Maggie and Daryl the father."
