What Do We Do?

Part Two

Part Two
The drive was quiet and awkward. Beth refused to get in the SUV with Daryl and had to switch with Carol, who was happier than Beth thought she should be. No one asked why Beth was being grumpy and distant, and as for Daryl, he was always like that, so they didn't really notice. They kept driving North, until they finally hit a run down Juvenile Delinquent School. It was perfect. High fences with barbed wire, thick brick walls, and everything else they need. It was a new prison, a prison that Daryl would most likely feel the need to escape from; Beth, relieved considering her condition.

She sat in the pick up truck and contemplated how to go about telling Maggie. Did he even want this baby. She had to face facts that even if Daryl and everyone was on board, she'd most likely end up like Lori, which she didn't want. And another baby to take care of besides Judith was also kind of ridiculous to think about.

"Okay, everyone take a post, Carol you can stay with Judith." Daryl gives Rick a look like "seriously?" and Beth sees. "Michone, Tyreese, Sasha head to the back. Carl, Bob, Glenn, you take right side with me. And Maggie, you Daryl and Beth, can take the left. We'll circle back, open the front doors and face what's inside together. I just wanna make sure that the premises is secure."

"Hold on you're sending Beth out?" Daryl breaks into the plan. His eyebrows furrowed and frown growing on his face.

"Yeah, she can do it. She's survived so much already, she can do this too. Carol needs the rest any way. Why is there a problem? Last night you told me you trusted her with your life. So what's the matter with her on yer' team?" Everyone was now frozen listening to Rick question Daryl, who was getting more irritated. Beth stood there and realized what Rick had said that Daryl said about her. If she wasn't mad at him, she'd run up and give him a hug.

"I know what I said, but that doesn't mean she should be doing this." Daryl said a little bit quieter than everyone expected. Daryl Dixon maybe quiet, but when it came I arguments he was an explosion.

"It's fine! Let's just go and get movin' 'fore it gets too dark!" Beth broke up the argument and started walking to the left and soon Maggie followed.

"Well there you have it. Come on Brother, have some faith in the girl." Rick left Daryl standing there and made his way with his group.

"I have faith in her... I just don't want anything bad to hurt her or my kid." Daryl said in a whisper to himself. He ran to catch up with Maggie and Beth. Carol sat by the car with Judith. She had so many questions, and too many choices of who to talk too.

As they searched their area, Maggie was stuck in between Daryl and Beth. She didn't know why they all of a sudden hated each other, or why Daryl felt Beth wasn't fit to do a walk through, but something told her that what ever it was, it wasn't going to get resolved with her there.

"I'm gonna to a run through of that shed. You two should probably check out that small garage over there." Without being able to protest, Maggie leaves both of them to their vises.

They don't speak, but walk over to the garage. Daryl stops and he sees Beth's small stomach showing from under her shirt as she stretched up to pull out the high bolt from the door.

To think, in eight months or so, my kid will be coming from that. I can't imagine her bigger than she is. She so fragile. Hell, girl didn't even know how great being touched was, until I helped her out. Which is what got me this trouble.

Beth turned around and saw Daryl staring at her belly button that had become exposed. "Like what ya' see cowboy?"

"Maybe you should let me do that." He steps closer an she becomes irritated.
