A Secret Affair (Daryl Dixon) ON HOLD

Chapter 15

Beth's body tensed in fear and her mouth opened for a scream that never came out for she knew if she screamed it would wake the babies. So she struggled , kicking and punching with all her might.

"Damnit girl stop!" She froze eyes widened as she tried to see the figure in the darkness.

"Daryl?" She whispered.

"Who,else would it be?" He asked and she flung her arms around him.

"I thought....oh god I though you where a walker....I was scared...I was gonna die...and...the babies.." And like that she jerked away from him and rushed into the closet, dropping to her knees she scooped up Hunter and held him close as she laid a hand on top of Judith head. She felt Daryl kneel beside her.

"I was scared to." He said into the darkness. "We get back and walkers are everywhere. Tyrese and Bob where cornered, Maggie shorting from the top of the stairs....Sasha...." He cut off and Beth turned her head.

"What happened to sasha?" She whispered and Daryl sighed.

"She didn't make it." He muttered. Beth let out a harsh whimper and cling to her son tighter.

"Oh god Bob, he...She..." Daryl dropped his arm around her and squeezed.

"He's fine, taking it hard but he's fine. Ah...Tyrese he uh.."

l"just tell me Daryl I can take it!" She snapped as tears streamed down her face already know what her was going to say.

"He got bite. He's down stairs helping every one clean out the bodies, says he wants to see you and the babies before he..ya know..." She nodded and lifted Judith in her arms as well.

"Lets go." She whispered as she lead the way out of the room.

...........

It was hard, to watch as Tyrese clung to both Judith and Hunter tears streaming down the large man's face. Beth wrapped her arms around her small Waist as tears streamed down her face. Tyrese glance up at her and smiled weakily. Beth could see the flesh torn from his shoulder, and more tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Dont cry for me little one." He said as he gently shifted the babies into Maggie's waiting arms. He reached for Beth and she flung herself at him, burning her face into his chest sobbing loudly. Tyrese stroked her small back and kissed the top of her head.

"Hush now, every things going to be fine."

"How can you say that?" Beth cried into his chest, balling his shirt in her fist. "You can't...you can't leave us." He sighed and glanced at Daryl who was frowning at his boots.

"You'll be fine with out me." He mumbled. "I...it's better this way

I wouldn't have been able to go on without sash any ways so...this is easier, a better justified way to....end things." He said as he pushed Beth out of his arms and smiled brightly at her. "You have to promise me something though." She nodded, wiping her eyes roughly.

"Anything." She sniffed and he smile, whipping the tears that continued to leak from her eyes away.

"You take care of them babies, no matter what keep them safe." She nodded. "And make sure that redneck ass over there doesn't do anything stupid." She laughed softly as Daryl head snapped up causing Tyrese to flash him a toothy grin.

"Man I'm gonna miss you." Glenn whispered. Tyrese nodded.

"Ill miss you too. All of you." He gave everyone a hug and they all watched as he walked out of the house, a gun gripped in his hands

They all stood there silently in till they heard a gun shot in the far distance. Maggie tightened her hold and the babies and Beth gripped her stomach tighter. Daryl stepped towards her, resting a hand on her shoulder as Bob stared at the floor and Glenn wrapped his arms around Maggie.  

it was silent for a long while until they heard a car pull up.

"carols here." Glenn said weakly causing Maggie to frown.

"I...why wasn't she with you and Daryl?" She asked him but it was Daryl who answered.

"We found Rick. Carl and michonne too." He said as foot steps sounded at the door. Beth glanced up her tear stained cheeks red.

"So we find three but lose two." She muttered harshly. "When will all this losing end?" She demanded and Daryl gritted his teeth.

"It won't." He said and her eyes clouded over with instead tears. "But we will survive. you and hunter will survive." He said with authority. "Ill see to it with my last breath, nothing will touch the two of you." She smiled weakly as the front door opened.

"Deaths already touched us Daryl, and it all ways will." She stepped back from his touch and turned as Carol and Michonne helped a weak Rick into the room, Carl following behind. Daryl clenched his hands into fist as Beth straightened her shoulders and stepped forward, checking Ricks wounds.

Ricks eyes opened and he smiled brightly as he saw Beth.

"Girl it is so good to see you." He wheezed causing her to smile despite the events of the night.

"Its good to see you too. We missed you. The group needed you." She gently touched his bruised cheek and winced. "Hope the bastard that did this got what he deserved." Ricks eyes widened at her language.

"Youve been spending to much time with Daryl." He scolded and she narrowed her eyes cutting them to Daryl.

"You didn't tell him?" She asked and Daryl shook his head. She gritted her teeth and turned back to Rick.

"When the prison went down me and Daryl ended up together." She said softly, "And...well..." She was cut off when Hunter wailed out. Daryl crossed the room and took him from Maggie before Beth could move. Ricks eyes landed on the small baby.

"Maggie did you and Glenn have a kid?" He asked and Maggie shook her head.

"He's mine." Beth whispered causing Ricks head to snap in her direction. His eyes narrows and his face turned red.

"That Sun of a botch better be dead! Daryl tell me you killed the ducking bastard that put his hands on her." Daryl gritted his teeth as he rocked his son gently back and forth.

"I wish I could grimes." He.muttered as he stepped towards them. Rick eyed him warily as Daryl placed the wide awake baby in his arms. The baby's dark blue eyes locked and Ricks and his widened.

"He has your eyes." He muttered as he lifted his gaze to Daryl.

"Rick grimes meet Hunter Dixon." Daryl said as he ran a finger down his sons cheek.
