The hope and The brave- Bethyl story

THE PERFECT STORM

Alexandria. Two months later.

- Mags! Don't push it... let me, please - I smile at my pregnant sister and she shakes her head - Fine but pregnant does not mean I am ill, Beth! - She stares at me and climbs down the stair as I cover my eyes since the sun is blinding me.

-Flashback-

-We have talked about this and I don't want you out- Daryl almost yells at me and I roll my eyes at him, which drives him crazy - So it is fine for you to go out there with Aaron but not for me to join you? That's so... - I stop and drown a chuckle since I was going to say sexist but I remembered Aaron does want me to go too- What are you laughing about, Greene? - Daryl walks to me and I just cover my mouth. The asshole knows me. - No, no. Don't try to fool me, Beth... - He says and smiles and I jump as he catches me - You. Are. Unbelievable!- I say and kiss his nose as he grabs me tight up - Really? - He smirks and walks me to the couch- Then I will drop you right now cause that's how unbelievable I am- He is playing and I get a hold on him - You wouldn't dare, Dixon! - I can't hold back my laugh anymore and Daryl falls into the couch with me - I guess you know me better now- He says pecking my lips - I would never let you fall- He says and kisses my neck - Not even in a fucking couch- And my man is now so kind and gentle, sometimes I think I am dreaming.

-Back to present -

-I don't know, Rick- I try to be cool but lately Rick has me worried - Deanna has no experience in killing walkers, not a fucking soul in this TV Heaven made town does- I clean my crossbow and Rick has a weird stare - What if we teach them? - He says and gets close to whisper pointing his famous finger at me - We can teach them, Daryl... I mean come on! We dealt with bigger issues before - Rick says and I nod - Sure but I ain't no kinder garden teacher, man- I can't be more clear and Rick steps back - Morgan can help us- He says and I sigh - Sure he can, to be zen in the middle of an apocalypse... cannot wait to list in one of these classes! - I let go a laugh and Rick comes back from his thoughts - Excuse me... was that a laugh from Dixon? I thought you were born without that ability- Rick throws a little rock at my feet and walks away - Rick! I mean it... Morgan might be able to help but we need Carol- I say and the sun is really shining today so I close my eyes a little - I don't think Carol and Morgan make a perfect match... - I am trying to be... as Beth puts it "gentle" as I can - What do you mean?- Rick asks and as I walk out, I let one thing clear - Carol and Morgan's methodology are opposite... at some point they will collide...- I pat his back shoulder - I don't want to be there when it happens- I walk out raising my crossbow.

The sky darkens suddenly and I am staring from the window - Crazy weather, ah? - Deanna smiles and I nod - Crazy times anyways - I reply and turn around in my spot in the couch next to Maggie. -I am really glad you decided not to go out after all- Deanna says and Maggie smiles giving me a hug - I get to spend more time with my little not so little anymore sister now! - She makes me blush - Maggie wants me to spoil her but I have my heart in my throat every time Daryl goes to recruit whoever with Aaron - I say worried and Deanna caresses my face - He loves you and he will come back for you, dear - She says and I nod - Thanks- I leave my cup of tea, somehow this is all strange to me. I live with Daryl in this heavenly place and Maggie is carrying my niece/nephew and what is this day dream about. As I stand up, I accidentally make the cup crash into the floor and the noise brings me back.

-Flashback-

I am sitting in the kitchen with Daryl and he is looking at me with his "mhmmm" look. I want to say something but the barks interrupts and as I raise the glass crashes to the ground. Someone is at the window and I freeze... it's a walker. I run to Daryl that yells at me to run but I don't want to leave him. He keeps trying to contain the walkers but the door collapses and I run grabbing my bag-pack. I hear Daryl fighting and my whole body is shaking in fear.

- Back to present -

-Beth! You're shaking... - Maggie holds my hands and I am sweating badly. - I'm ok... sorry about the cup- I say and run out as fast as I can. I have these nightmares, I try not to worry anyone but Daryl knows more than I told him. I'm running fast in the street and I trip landing on my knee. -Beth! - I hear Daryl's voice and I start crying. He holds me tight and kisses my hair - What happened? - He asks me and I just fake a smile - I ripped my jeans! - I lie and Daryl nods - Because you decided to go jogging in this comfortable suit, right? - He raises my face to stare into my eyes and I sigh - It's nothing... really- I place my head on his shoulder - Since when you cry over jeans? - He mocks me and I am busted. I bite my lip - I have these nightmares and now I just had one awake... like a really shitty memory- Daryl is worried but chuckles at my cursing - Now you sound like me... - He says and whispers - It's hot - I blush and he helps me up - Let's get you into clean clothes, Greene - He says and picks me up - Daryl, I can walk! - I hold his neck softly - And I can carry you so no arguing! - Daryl starts walking and I smile until a thunder crashes into a tower making the fences tremble bad as Daryl and I stare in shock as the wind hits as rough and the rain begins...
