I woke up to Beth crying and sobbing next to me, she seemed confused and sad. "What's wrong baby? What happend?" I comforted her in my arms and I literally could feel her sobs. "Crystal... She.. S-she is gone." I stood there in shook "Wait what what do you mean with gone?" "I woke up a-and she wasn't beside me anymore, we need to find her Daryl, p-please." "What the fuck?? "Get up babe, we will find her come" I couldn't stop crying and got instantly up and followed Daryl outside. Everyone else still was asleep. We headed through the town and still no clue where she went. Suddenly I heard someone screaming. It was Crystal. "OH GOD CRYSTAL WHERE ARE YOU BABYGIRL" I instantly screamed outside. "Psh, if there's a walker we could bring more here through your screaming." We headed into the woods and there was she, lying there trying to get away from that one Walker-Woman. "CRYSTAL" .. "B-Beth please help me please I just wanted to go outside a bit to get a flower for you two a-and then she came out of nowhere.. She didn't got me b-but I'm so scared I tried talking to her but she won't hear... I-i" I headed to Crystal and comforted her in my arms "BABYGIRL you can't talk to them... They don't u-understand." She started crying even more.. Maybe she knew that woman/girl? Daryl shooted the Walker in the head right with his Crossbow.. Crystal didn't looked at it and we went back to our home.. "Princess do you want to eat something? You didn't got breakfast c'mon. Daryl and me are just upstairs shortly okay? Don't worry." Crystal nooded and went into the Kitchen, where Maggie and Gleen were already up preparing the breakfast. We headed upstairs. "Do you think she knew that Woman? Because... She didn't called her 'thing' she called her 'she' you know?" "Hm,,,, I noticed that too. Probably. Damn it I was so scared that we won't found her. She's.... Like a own daughter for me." I stood there in awe. Daryls words really touched me.. Like his own daughter.. That's what Crystal was for me too. "Mommy? Daddy?" "Yes babygirl?" Daryl instantly said and took her in his arms "Did you ate?" "N-no but I just wanted to tell you breakfast is ready." We nooded and went downstairs with her.. We breakfasted and talked a bit. Everything seemed so normal, I want this forever. Surely without Walkers outside. But that ain't gonna happen is it? Will this ever end? "Mom? Can we take a nap?" "Sure, princess." Daryl looked at us,, "Coming in a few." I told him and gave him a kiss. He just nooded and smiled at us. I headed upstairs to our room with Crystal and laid with her on the bed. "Mom.. Can I tell you something?" "Sure.. What's up princess?" .. "That... T-that woman earlier outside.. I-I wanted to talk to her and tell her not to hurt me.. Maybe she d-didn't wanted to..." "BABYGIRL... You can't talk to them... They're not like us.. They're evil." She started sobbing.."No they're not.. NO NO NO.. She was my mom.. No no no." Shit... I just fucked up shit. "Hey princess.. I-I'm sure she didn't want to hurt you.. Maybe not in her brain. But they turned y'know and they instantly... Hurt people. All of them. We needed to that y'know? She's now fine and not in that pain anymore." I tried to comfort her with those words as possible as it was. I didn't know how to explain it in another way. "Hm.." She just nooded. "I'm here now for you. Forever. No one in this world will ever hurt you I promise okay? And don't got outside alone anymore.. Promise me that please?" She looked at me and comforted herself in my arms. "I promise mom.." I noticed Daryl standing at the Door.. He nooded as in he would say that was a good thing I said. He came over to us and we all cuddled a round.. Then we heard someone outside taking a gunshot. Daryl instantly got up and took his crossbow to go outside.. "Stay here with Crystal. I'm back in a few." We nooded and looked outside the window. Some people out there killed a walker. I just hoped they didn't wanted to kill us.. "Who are you?" Rick asked them when they went outside. "I'm Abraham, this is Tara, Eugene and Rosita. We are not here to do something to you. We are good people I promise." "Take down the guns please. We just do this for our protection.. We lost so many homes. So please. How many walkers have you killed? How many people have you killed? Why?" They took down the guns and Abraham started talking "Dozens of walkers.. I didn't count but it was a lot we are long outside here surviving. People, none." Rick nooded. "You'll get your guns when we're inside again. C'mon." .."So, welcome to our Group." "Thank you."

*Beth's POV*

I got downstairs with Crystal and noticed the new People. God thanks they're good. A girl came ahead me instantly. "Hello, I'm Tara." "Hello Tara ' welcome to our Group. I'm Beth and this is Crystal." Daryl stood beside me. Tara's face lighted up. "Your girl? She's adorable." She stood there in awe.. Crystal went to the lounge room and went to Maggie. I smiled. "Yeah. You can say it like that. We found her in that house.. She lost her entire family and since them she calls us mom and dad. She's like my own daughter. Wouldn't gave her away for anything." "That's so cute." I smiled and looked at Daryl. He gave me a kiss. "Soooo.. Tara are you hungry? Lunch is ready." "Sure." We all went into the kitchen and ate lunch.. I noticed that Maggie didn't looked really happy so I decided to take her on side when we were ready with Lunch. "Mag? What's wrong? You seem so unhappy the last few days. You are always sick." "B-Beth... I'm pregnant." I stood there in shock.. What.. Did she just say?
