What if Beth had the baby at 16.... Guest is the daughter of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. Guest is now 16 and has grown up on the ranch her grandfather John has done most of the parenting for her, and she sees John as more of a father than a grandpa. She's going through a faze where she's just a miserable teenager, but John knows every teenager goes through it and is giving her some time. She doesn't talk to her mother and father often cause they just don't get along Beth is extremely hard on her and wasn't there most of her childhood while Rip tries but he has no idea what he's doing still. She was sat in the living room on the couch on her phone, a staple for her now a days to have her phone in hand sucked into the world of that. John was worried she'd end up like Beth and end up pregnant. John sat down on the couch next to her. John: Can we talk, please? he said in a softer tone than he ever used with anyone else he had a huge soft spot for her
