(Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🎁)

Beth's View-2 weeks later

I've put on weight, but not as much as I was. I'm home now, and Daryl has been nothing but compassionate and helpful. He's been keeping my stress down and I can really feel normality shifting back our way. My bones aren't as noticeable as two weeks ago. It's funny how I got my weight back up that quickly

As I sit at the kitchen table and Daryl plays with my hair, we look at pictures of venues in Georgia near us. Nothing looks the way I want it too, but Daryl keeps telling me that's okay. It's nice having my rock, my wall, my safety netting just waiting to catch me.

"Beth, I don't care where we get married. As long as I marry you, I could careless about the rest."

"Yes, I know. But Daryl, we need a nice place. not for us, but note for our guests."

"Ya know...What about out back here?"

"Here?" She raises an eyebrow to me.

"Yeah. Don't have to pay rent for a space, we have more than enough land to house the party. I can build a gazebo for us to stand at. It will be grand." He kisses me an for once, he's using his brain.

"Alright. I think that's a good idea."

"Yer not just saying that cause I'm adorable?"

"No...okay a little bit. but it really is a great idea." I can tell Daryl is having fun doing this because he can't stop smiling at me as we move onto color swatches. "What about this blue and green for the tables?"

"I like the crimson and the pink actually." He points at the two shades and I have to admit,bits pretty.

"It's actually pretty cute. My bridesmaids can be pink and yer men can be red."

"Sweet. Alright what next?"

"Menu. What do we want to serve?"

"Nothing too fancy. remember this is our family we're talking about. As long as it's edible and there's enough of it,bit doesn't really matter what it is."

"Haha yes...how about Chicken Parm, Caesar Salads, and A vegetarian lasagna ad for sides something easy."

"Sounds good to me. Baby, can we take a break for now? We've been at this all day, and I haven't held you in forever." He gives me puppy dog eyes and I find him so damn cute.

"You wanna hold me?" I say with a sexy tone.

"Yes."

"Hold me then..." I say as I raise my eyebrows. He instantly stands up and hoists me into his strong arms. Taking me to the living room, we lay on the chase. Looking down at me, he has one arm propping me up in the back and the other under my head as he kisses me over and over again.

"God I've missed you." He whispers into my neck as he bites at my flesh.

"Oh, Daryl...I love you."

It doesn't take long before we're naked and stat having sex on the couch, then the floor, and lastly against the stone fireplace. Mu body aches, but I love it. The feel of him inside me and the taste of his salty inviting scent.

"Baby, I can't wait until my names on you."

"Me neither."
