It's funny to think later that this is the thing to cause a little twinge of jealously she tries not to let show. It's not that Jenny is having a baby -- or two babies -- and Beth doesn't even have any idea if that might still be in her future, it's just the idea of being settled. Of having a plan. For a little while, she'd thought she had a plan, she was going to marry Daryl and go to school and become a teacher and then the rug had been yanked out from under her and ever since then, with the exception of making sure Judith is taken care of, she feels a little bit like she's floundering.
Curtis had been solid and dependable and with him, for a little while, she'd felt like there could be another plan made. Something else for her to follow over the next several years, but now he's gone, too. For Beth, it doesn't seem like there's ever going to be a good time for starting a family, never mind the fact that she's not even close to having someone she would want to do that with.
She wishes she had a plan.
"I'm glad you guys are on the same page," she says with a wistful sort of smile. "That counts for so much. All the time you hear about people who just aren't, but you guys..." She trails off and shrugs happily. "It's just really nice to see that."
