Beth thinks she’s seen everything there is to see in this sleepy Georgia diner; everything, that is, until a man comes in with a sleeve tattoo and a baby in his arms. Who could fault Beth for melting like an abandoned slice à la mode?
Eighteen year old single mother Beth Greene attends a support group at her church for other single parents. She’s surprised to find Daryl Dixon there too.
Daryl had messed up, that was a huge understatement, but the idea still held. Now he was sitting in the local hospital in a long room with machines lining the walls and little chambers that housed, in a few of them, tiny bodies like the one he was staring at. According to Sheriff Grimes this little tissue thin body was his – the premature baby girl in there was Daryl’s daughter.
Daryl Dixon’s world is set up on end with the knowledge of daughter he never knew he had. But then again, was that world so great to begin with? Daryl has choices to make about the kind of man and father he wants to be. It may take him some time to understand he might want something else out of his life too… perhaps a petite blonde with a killer smile.
Daryl wasn’t happy since his last hope, his everything was gone since four years, five months and twenty days. Since his Beth was gone. But one day changed everything. One little girl changed everything!
Beth and Daryl they are thrown together through a baby boy in need of medical care and both are finding it more and more difficult to fight what they feel towards each other and the past that they once shared.
Three years ago, if you asked an 18 year old Beth Greene where she’d be when she was 21, waitress and single mother was not even an entertaining option. Yet, here she is. Loosely inspired by the Sara Bareilles song, She Used To Be Mine
He hurried to the vehicle and saw the blonde head leaning against the steering wheel, not moving. Thinking the worst he muttered “Shit,” as he pulled the door open. But her head came up quickly and her eyes went right to him, scared looking and with tears running down her face.
