A/N: Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard own The Walking Dead. Not me. I do own my OC, Kenzie Rose. This is my latest story. If you read what I have posted already and are waiting for me to update it. I will as soon as I get the inspiration to write the chapter that needs to written. Have some faith in me please? And as always read and review please. Italics are thoughts. Underlines are flash backs/dreams.
Also I am making Beth a year older in this fic than she is in the show.
Sorry for not posting in awhile guys. Work is draining me physically, life is draining me emotionally, and writer's block is draining the creative flow I have.
Chapter Seven: Rick Will Work Something Out
"When I told Shaun, he was ready to kill him. He was so excited to be an uncle. Was determined to make me name the baby after him." Beth said softly as she looked at Daryl. "Mom was not happy that I was going to keep the baby, but she was supportive of me."
"I remember when I met Shaun. He truly showed how pissed off he was at Jimmy." Daryl said as he leaned down and pressed his lips to Beth's. Beth kissed him back, both of them minding the infant that was in her arms. "I love ya Beth. You and Kenzie are my world. I can't lose either one of you."
"I love you too. We both do. You won't lose us." Beth said to him as Kenzie let out a small yawn and what sounded like a squeak. Daryl and Beth both had to chuckle as he took Kenzie into his arms.
"I got you, my Lil' Cherokee." Daryl said to Kenzie as he pressed his lips to her forehead. "I love you my baby girl." Daryl then gave Kenzie back to Beth.
"What are you going to do?" Beth asked, referring to the walkers that were in the barn. "I know that their dead, but Daddy doesn't think so. He just thinks that Mom and Shaun are sick. That once a cure is found that they will be back to normal."
"I don't know what we are going to do. I would like to put Shaun and your mom to rest and bury them." Daryl admitted as he pressed his lips to Beth's hair. "I'm going to go talk to Rick, see what he thinks. He's done right by me so I respect him for that." Beth nodded her head before Daryl left to go talk to Rick. Beth rocked Kenzie a little before walking over to where Carol was sitting with Sophia.
"How are you doing dear?" Carol asked as Beth sat down next to her. Sophia moved so she could see the baby and smiled.
"I'm alright, just… Worried about what Shane might do." Beth admitted as she shifted Kenzie some in her arms. "Do you want to hold her Sophia?" Beth asked the girl as the blonde tween looked up at her.
"Please?" Sophia asked as she held her arms out, so she could hold the baby. "What's her name?" Sophia asked as Beth gently placed her daughter into the girl's arms.
"Her name is Kenzie Rose." Beth said as Kenzie grunted in her sleep some, noticing the fact that she was in someone else's arms sides her mother's or against her father's chest.
"What do you mean by what Shane might do?" Carol asked as she watched her little girl hold the infant. Beth sighed before explaining that her father put her mother and brother in the barn at the thought of them being sick. "You're worried that Shane will do something that could hurt your father."
"Yeah. Daddy doesn't understand that they are dead." Beth said as she looked towards the barn with a sad smile on her face. "I honestly just want them to be put to rest but I know that it would be nearly impossible to even get my father to agree with it." Daryl came over to them as Beth talked about her father.
"Rick will work something out." Daryl said as he pressed a kiss to Beth's hair before sitting down on her other side. "What do you think of the place Sophia?"
"I like it here. I hope Mr. Greene will let us stay here. It would be nice to live on a farm." Sophia said as she handed Kenzie back to Beth. "Thank you for letting me hold her Beth."
"You're welcome Sophia." Beth said as she pressed her lips to Kenzie's forehead before allowing Daryl to take her.
"You make a new friend baby girl?" Daryl asked Kenzie as she opened her eyes and looked up at him. Daryl smiled as Kenzie gave a small grunt of a yawn before closing her eyes again and fell asleep once more.
A/N: I know this is so short! I am so sorry for it. I just wanted to get something up so you all know that I am not abandoning this story. I hope to have chapter eight be longer.
