Beth woke tangled in her sheets, stumbling out of bed she landed on her butt. It was on command to yawn when she awoke but her jaw was so sore. Slowly opening her mouth she winced. With time Beth, it will get better, she thought. Beth had to go pick Bentley up today from her sisters and Daryl was coming with. Her nerves were full on as she thought about Maggie meeting Daryl for the first time. What would Maggie think? Beth let out a puff of air before slipping out of her sleepwear. As Beth let the water heat up she felt hands around her waist and a body pressed into her back. "Daryl, you're squeezing the air out of my lungs." Beth joked. "I know one way I can squeeze the air out of your lungs." Daryl smirked before pulling his shirt over his head. Beth rolled her eyes before stepping into the shower leaving Daryl standing alone with nothing but the view of her naked body through the foggy glass. "I know what you're doing Greene." Daryl grinned. "Yeah? And what's that?" Beth hollered. Beth's eyes met Daryl's and she could see the amusement burning in his deep blue eyes. Her breath hitched in her throat as his eyes raked across her naked, wet body. Beth fumbled to grab the body soap and she heard a chuckled from Daryl. Deep, low rumble in his throat, making her cheeks go hot. "You find this funny, Dixon?" Beth's sweet voice echoed over the running water.

Daryl shook his head as he laughed. His sweet laughter filling her ears. Beth stepped out of the shower, a towel wrapped around her small body. "The water is still hot." her voice soft spoken. Beth smirked as she walked towards her closet. She rolled her eyes internally at herself, body growing all warm just thinkin about Daryl. Beth grabbed her white blouse and buttoned it up. She stood there a moment deciding what to wear. "Hey Daryl! Pencil skirt or Slacks?!" Beth yelled. She looked at herself in the mirror, so lost in thought when arms were around her waist yet again, she jumped, startled. "Dixon you scared the shit out of me!" Beth exclaimed. Pressing a kiss to her shoulder he replied low and gruff "Pencil skirt." Beth looked up to meet his gaze and a smiled tugged at her lips. "God you're beautiful Greene." his voice husky. Beth's eyes were luminous, drinking in the sight of his naked chest. Beth glanced down at his lips then back up into his eyes. "You ain't so bad yourself Dixon." Beth mumbled out in a throaty voice.

In one swift move Daryl had Beth by her thighs pinned against the wall. He kissed along her neck up to her jaw where the bruise was visible. "I'm sorry I didn't stop him." Daryl's voice gravelly but she could hear the pain and anger behind it. Tangling her hands in his dripping wet hair had her body all warm. Her bare thighs around his naked waist, Beth's lips found Daryl's, the kiss slow savoring the taste of him. The smell of him lingering around her head like a cloud of smoke making her head spin. "It's not your fault Daryl." Beth whispered too quiet for anyone to hear but him. "Look, it was bound to happen sometime Daryl. Dillon see's me as a trophy. Always at the bar just to show me off to his friends...I didn't plan on getting pregnant you know...Then I thought with a baby on the way..That we could um-" Beth paused a moment looking into his deep blue eyes. "Make it work but I was wrong." Beth shifted her gaze to the ground. Daryl could read her like an open book. He knew she loved him but only for the gift of Bentley. Daryl tipped her chin up and their eyes locked. "I know..I am glad it didn't work….If it did there would be no us." his voice thick with emotion. Beth claimed his lips, hoping he would understand what she was saying by this kiss. Their lips parted and Beth moaned when his tongue glided across hers. She pulled away before she was completely out of breath.

Her chest moving up and down as she drew in short breaths. Beth lifted her hand to tuck a strand of wet hair behind her ear. Her skin was on fire, it was like she was about to be engulfed in flames. "We need to get ready Greene." Daryl mumbled close to her ear. The heat of his breath felt like hot water running through her veins. Beth nodded because she didn't trust her voice. "Mhmmm cat got your tongue Greene?" Daryl chuckled. Beth's cheeks flushed before she playfully pushed him. "Nuh uh." she replied, her smile radiant, beaming with pride as she giggled. Daryl's eyes landed on hers, filled with happiness and joy. Her breath hitched as his eyes fixed on hers in a fierce manner. Like he was reading her thoughts, knew what she was feeling, maybe he did. Daryl had no idea what he did to her. Even when she was with Dillon she never felt this way. "Whatcha thinkin Beth?" Daryl asked in a hoarse voice. Her fingers moved in circles on his hand. "That I've never felt this way before...With any guy actually...Except you." Beth managed to get out, wobbly and quiet. Daryl didn't push to ask more, he just contentedly sat there and waited for her proceed forward. "When I'm with you...It's like the world slows and waits for us. Every kiss, every touch, feels like fire and ice going through my body." her voice was so small she wasn't sure he'd even heard her. Beth bit her lip as the silence between them lingered. "I feel it too. You have no idea what you do to me Greene." Daryl broke the silence in a gruff voice.

Beth didn't realize how much time had passed between them. They had to get ready to go to Maggie's for dinner and pick up Bentley. Beth brushed her lips across his jaw, placing a soft quick kiss to his lips, before scrambling to finish getting dressed. "I gotta go pick up Elly up from her friends but I'll be back as soon as possible. You need anything?" Daryl asked as he slipped his jacket on. Beth drank in the sight of Daryl Dixon in a suit, he looked so handsome and attractive. "I uh um no I don't, thank you." Beth blushed. Daryl smiled before placing a kiss to her forehead. "Okay, I'll be back." his murmured as his thumb grazed across her bottom lip. Beth watched as he disappeared through the front door. She slipped her pencil skirt over her hips and fitted it in place. Grabbing her black heels and putting them on she glanced in the mirror. Very good Beth. You look very presentable. Maggie would be pleased. She thought. Beth was ramaging through papers when her phone rang. Picking it up she unlocked her screen.

" Hello Tara, everything okay?" Beth asked in a calm voice. "Yeah, but Doctor Griffin just left because of a family emergency and Doctor Williams is on maternity leave. We are short of staff, could you come in?" Tara asked in a small voice. "Uh yeah I'll be there as soon as possible." Beth replied in a soft voice. With that the phone clicked off.

Beth was ranked the highest ER Doctor in her facility. She along with Doctor Griffin and a few others were the only On-Call-Emergency and herself were the top ER Doctors, they could do everything. Of course they had nurses and other doctors to make rounds and check up on people. There could never be too much doctors but in this city of Georgia there were a lot of accidents. Beth grabbed her phone as she stumbled to get out of her skirt. When she got the answering machine of Maggie she left a voice mail. "Hey Mags, I just got called into work and I'm not sure what time I will be off but I'll do my best to make it." Beth let out a sigh. She hated letting everyone down but what could she do? This was her job. She tried to call Daryl but no answer as well. Leaving him a quick voice mail she fumbled to get her scrubs on. Pulling her shirt over her head she walked downstairs. With one swift move she palmed her keys and locked the door behind her. She was frustrated that she had to once again leave Bentley with her sister. Climbing in her car she started for work. It wasn't long before she pulled into the parking lot of the hospital. She grabbed her purse and keys and headed inside. The cold air felt nice on her skin. Beth walked in and went straight for her office. She checked her phone and frowned when Maggie hadn't called her back. Tucking it away into her purse she grabbed her hospital keys.

Beth looked at the document chart. Looking at who needed to be checked on. She hummed a small tune as she walked through the hall. Making it to room 68 which held a little girl by the name of Lizzie Samuels. With care Beth examined the blonde little girl. "How you feelin Lizzie?" Beth asked, concentrated on what she was doing. "I feel fine." Lizzie replied, her voice hoarse. "On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is the pain?" Beth looked up to meet Lizzie's dull blue eyes. "Um probably like an 8." Lizzie mumbled. "Okay, as soon as I am done here I will send in a nurse to give you medicine for the pain, okay?" Beth smiled, reassuring the little girl that she would be okay. "Okay." Lizzie forced a smile on her face. Beth finished up and went to find a nurse to send to Samuels room. With Beth being an Er Doctor there wasn't much for her to do as the other doctors were here to do the check ups and examine patients. Walking into her office Beth fetched her phone from her purse. She clicked the screen on and popped up 4 missed calls and 2 text messages. All were from Maggie which made Beth frown. Maggie never calls her that many times when she knows Beth is working.

Dialing Maggie's number she waited as it rang. "Jesus, Beth thank god you answered! Bentley was in the hospital with a broken arm." Maggie rushed out. "What the fuck?! What the hell happened?!" Beth raised her voice. "He fell of the top of the castle at the park." Maggie replied. "Were you even watching him?!" Beth snapped. Her face was red, angry that her sister could be so careless sometimes. "I was Beth! I was holding a baby and I told him to stay where I could see him." Maggie's answered obviously irritated with Beth. "That's not watching him Mags! He is a boy!" Beth hissed. "I know and I'm sorry." Maggie's voice waivered. "You guys home?" Beth asked in a soft voice. "No, we are on our way to your house. We should be there in about an hour or two." Maggie said in a quiet voice. "Okay, I will be there as soon as I can." Beth's voice small. Maggie hung up and Beth buried her face in her hands. Beth read the text messages from Daryl. She giggled at his use of words, like she could hear his voice in her mind. Beth stashed her phone away and snacked on her food.

Eating quietly she was looking over some papers for work. The room was silent until a voice came through the intercom. "Doctor Greene we need you in the ER right away." Beth carried her legs as fast as they could go. Pulling her card key from her pocket she slid her card along the scanner and the doors clicked open. She caught up with the Er Nurses as they pushed a bloody man on a stretcher. "Do we know what happened?" Beth asked in a rush. "Uh, I believe he was in a car accident." a nurse replied. Beth looked at the man, his skin was pale and the blood stained his clothes. "We need to stop the bleeding. Then check for internal bleeding." Beth said in a calm voice. They approached a room and got her equipment on. "Find out if he has any allergies!" Beth shouted. Reaching for his wrist she felt his pulse, low but pounding weakly against her fingers. Beth shouted more orders to stop the bleeding and hooked up IVs. "He has lost so much blood, anymore and he may not make it." Beth turned to look at the man. Two hours had passed and Beth got the patient under control and he was stable as of right now. She looked down at her gown, blood everywhere, so much blood. Beth peeled her gloves off carefully and stripped the gown off. "There any relatives here?" Beth asked. Doctor Griffin had returned and took over so Beth could take a breather. "Yeah, you wanna go let them know how things are going?" Doctor Griffin responded quickly.

Beth nodded and headed for the doors. Walking with a file in her hand she looked up to see a lady sitting there. Obviously the lady was worried and on edge. Beth would be too. As the lady saw Beth approach she shot up from her chair. "Is he gonna be okay?" The lady's voice brittle. "We aren't sure-" Beth didn't finish before the lady was yelling at her. "What do you mean you aren't sure?! You are a damn doctor, do your fuckin job!" The lady snarled. Beth stood there patiently, she was use to this kind of reaction. "What I was saying is that he's lost a lot of blood and as of right now he is stable. Doctor Griffin is with him right now, she is gonna check to see if his organs are good, make sure there's no internal bleeding." Beth finished in a calm tone. The lady just stared at Beth a moment. "Ma'am once we know for sure, one of us will let you know." Beth reassured the lady. "Thank you Doctor Greene." The lady sniffled. Beth assumed she read her name tag.

It was late and Beth was finally off of work. She climbed in her car and headed home. She was so exhausted, and quite frankly Maggie is lucky. Beth pulled into her driveway about fifteen minutes later. She got out of her car gathering her things and walking through her door. "Mommy!" Bentley yelled before he jumped into Beth's arms. She lost grip of all her things and giggled as they clattered to the floor. "Hey babyboy.I missed you." Beth cooed in his ear. "Me too mommy." he replied. Beth could hear the tiredness in his voice. Before she said a word, Maggie came into view. "Mommy, I broke my arm by fallin off a castle!" Bentley shouted. Beth's focus was on her son as her gaze flicked up at Maggie. "I know. Aunt Maggie told me." Beth voice soft-spoken. "Aunt Maggie you were suppose to let me tell her!" Bentley whined. "Sorry buddy but your mama had to know." Maggie looked at Bentley. "Bentley why don't you go upstairs and play with your toys." Beth suggested. "Okay mommy. Will you come up and play with me?" Bentley quietly asked. "I will once I'm done talking to your Aunt, okay?" Beth replied in a hush tone.

With not more to argue Bentley ran up to his room. Beth picked at her nails, debating how she should start. "Beth…" Maggie started but stopped. Beth glanced up at her sister, her cheeks a little red. "Maggie, it's fine. I overreacted and i'm sorry. Today was just too much and I was overwhelmed." Beth finished with a faint smile. Their silence lingered between them a moment before Maggie broke in. "I should have been watching him. For that I am sorry too." Maggie said as she hugged her little sister. Beth was tired and she wanted to spent time with Bentley, since she, like always was working. She said goodbye to her sister and waved her off letting her know they'd talk in the morning. Beth slipped off her shoes, making sure the door was locked. It was too late for Daryl to come over since he had Elly.

Beth jogged up the stairs to her son, she frowned as he had fallen asleep on his floor. Scooping him up she cuddled him for a few moments before tucking him in. Placing a kiss to his forehead before she got ready for bed. She undressed out of her scrubs and put on an over-sized t-shirt. One of Daryl's to be exact. Placing her phone next to her on the nightstand Beth headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She has been feeling weird all day but like any other person ignored it. It wasn't until she looked in her body sized mirror had she seen the blood that trailed down her legs, so much blood. Her house was dim so maybe Maggie hadn't seen. Beth walked to her phone, hands shaking, heart pounding. Shakily she dialed Daryl's number. After what felt like hours he finally picked up. "Daryl, i'm bleeding, there's blood everywhere. Down my legs." Beth managed to get out in a wobbly voice.
