I'M NOT READING THIS.

YET.

But I am up through 3.10, and even though they haven't *really* had any huge interactions, I am SO sucked in by the little pretend family of Daryl, Beth and baby Judith. (Is that seriously her name?)

My one complaint about TWD? Naming that baby Judith. So weird.

I'm sorry I haven't continued our thread of discussion...I'm going back to it right now. It's been a busy week, and any spare time I had was devoted to this plot bunny, but now it's done, and I am actually home sick from work today, so I'm gonna do some fangirl stuff!

I honestly never even thought about Daryl and Beth until 4x01, so you have a little time yet. But there are plenty of S3-centric fics out there about that very idea. I was so oblivious to all of it until I started reflecting. It's part of why I did the rewatch over the summer, to refresh me all the things about each of their characters.

Hey, don't be sorry. Life happens, you know?

I'm going to need to go back and rewatch a lot of this season because I have stupidly been throwing episodes on at 10:30/11 and fighting to keep my eyes open by the end, but there was such a darling scene a little while ago, with them and the baby, that it was almost out of place on a show like this, but also, it fit, just so, and was wonderful.

Daryl's nickname for the baby is so endearing as well, and the fact that he is comfortable holding the baby. I remember being surprised about that, but then he was the one who didn't want to give up looking for Sophia. He just likes kids, it's cute.

I'm glad! I would write something else if I could, but this is all that will come out of me right now!
