At breakfast just a few hours later, Rick, Lori, Daryl and Beth smiled and acknowledged each other. Rick and Daryl looked embarrassed, Lori and Beth laughed. When Beth stood up to get some more juice, Lori followed her and pulled her aside.
"So...you and Daryl."
"Yep...oh yes..." Beth said with a smile. "I'm really happy to see you and Rick back together."
"Me too. You can't waste time in this world. He forgave me, I forgave him. We're back to normal. Or as normal as you can get these days."
"Good. About the shower..."
"Beth, I'm not telling anyone. In this world you have to hold onto happiness while you can."
"Okay. Um, it was just embarrassing."
"Yep. But funny. It didn't stop us. It shouldn't stop you."
"Daryl's gonna talk to daddy later. He wants his okay to date me."
"Ah, dating...is that what you're calling it these days?"
Beth blushed, Lori chuckled and gave her a hug. They both got back to their spots at the table, both Rick and Daryl asking their other halves if everything is okay. Lori nodded, and Rick put his arm around her, kissing her forehead. Daryl wanted to show affection towards Beth, but Hershel was sitting next to them. The group...the family was sitting together, enjoying a nice breakfast. Beth excused herself and quickly walked to the bathroom, vomiting up all of her breakfast. Lori saw her leave, and followed her to the bathroom. She heard the girl's heaves, and after Beth flushed she walked out of the stall and went to the sink. Lori rubbed her back as Beth cried and splashed water on her face.
"You okay, honey?"
"Yea, I think I'm coming down with something. Some stomach bug."
"Beth, How long have you and Daryl been intimate?"
"For months. We try to be quiet, but like last night, that was the first time we got caught."
"Do you guys use condoms?"
"No, I'm allergic to latex."
"When was the last time you had your period?"
"I'm scared, Lori."
Lori gave Beth a hug, rubbing her back and saying that everything will be okay. Rick came in, saying that he was worried. Lori looked at her husband and said "She's okay...just a little embarrassed about the shower last night. I'm gonna take her back to her room." Beth sat on her bunk while Lori pulled over the privacy curtain. The younger woman was crying and shaking, afraid of what her father would say.
"We don't have to tell him now. We don't even know. Maybe the guys can do a supply run and pick up a test just to make sure. Do you want to tell Daryl?"
Beth nodded her head, but begged Lori not to say anything. Lori gave Beth a kiss on the forehead and left the cell, being very nonchalant. She helped clean up after breakfast, and pulled Daryl aside when nobody was looking.
"Lori, if this is about the shower, I'm sorry. It was the middle of the night..."
Lori held her hand up to stop Daryl from explaining himself.
"Don't worry about that. Rick and I thought it was funny. Please go talk to Beth. She's in her cell."
"She alright?" Daryl asked, his face lighting up with concern.
"She's fine. Daryl, she's scared. She doesn't remember the last time she got her period and she's throwing up in the morning. You need to go talk to her."
A small smile touched Daryl's lips, as he looked at Lori. He thought of himself as a redneck, but he knew what that meant.
"Hot fucking damn. I'm gonna be a dad?"
"Shhh.." Lori looked around, noticing that nobody was within listening distance, everyone going their own way to do their daily chores. "We don't know yet. Maybe a supply run to pick up a test? I don't know what it's like out there. But before we know anything, she needs you. Daryl, please take it from someone who knows...the worst feeling in the world is to feel abandoned by someone you love, especially if she is pregnant. Like I said, we don't know yet. But if she is, she'll need you emotionally."
Daryl nodded, went over to the fridge and poured a cup of water for Beth, and headed to her cell.
Lori watched him go, and her eyes got misty, thinking of what could have been if she didn't fuck things up.
