As the weeks passed, Beth couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. She had discovered that she was 18 weeks pregnant, and the thought of telling Rip about their impending parenthood filled her with both joy and nervousness.

Bouts of nausea often accompanied Beth's mornings, and she had noticed her clothes fitting a bit differently. She wasn't sure how to approach the subject with Rip, but she knew she couldn't keep it a secret much longer.

One evening, after a long day of ranch work, Beth and Rip sat on the porch, watching the sun dip below the Montana horizon. John Dutton had joined them for dinner, and as he looked at Beth, a knowing smile played on his lips.

"You're glowing, Beth," John remarked, his eyes twinkling with understanding.

Beth tried to brush it off with a laugh. "Must be all that fresh Montana air, Daddy."

John chuckled but didn't press the issue. He felt that Beth would reveal her secret when the time was right.

A few days later, Beth decided it was time to share the news with Rip. She wanted to make it was special, so she prepared a simple dinner at the ranch house. She had made tuna hamburger helper, one of Rip's favorite dishes.

As they sat down to eat, Rip couldn't help but notice that Beth seemed a bit nervous. "Beth, you've been acting a little strange lately. Is everything okay?"

Beth took a deep breath, her heart pounding. "Rip, there's something I want to tell you."

Rip's concern deepened, but he reached out and took her hand, his eyes filled with love and support. "You can tell me anything, Beth."

Beth smiled, feeling a surge of affection for the man before her. She reached for a gift box on the table and handed it to Rip. "Open this."

Rip looked at the box, confusion in his eyes. "Beth, I don't need gifts. I just want you."

Beth chuckled softly. "Shut up and open it."

With a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, Rip opened the gift box. His eyes widened when he saw tiny cowboy boots and a tiny Yellowstone onesie nestled inside.

Tears welled up in Rip's eyes as he put the pieces together. He looked up at Beth, his voice trembling with emotion. "Are you telling me..."

Beth nodded, her own eyes filled with tears of joy. "I'm pregnant, Rip."

Rip didn't say a word; he simply embraced Beth tightly, tears streaming down his face. He held her close, overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude for the news.

Beth wrapped her arms around him, whispering words of love and reassurance. At that moment, they knew that their journey into parenthood was going to be a beautiful adventure they would cherish together.
