They finally got home, heading in through the gates of Alexandria.
Exhausted, hungry and in need of a shower.
They were greeted by hugs, and smiles as they bought food through the gates.
"Theo!" Judith ran at her sister with RJ close behind.
She opened her arms, hugging her siblings tightly before Lydia walked behind them, she held onto Libbie as Magna revealed herself holding CJ.
"Hey" Theo smiled, hugging her eldest before taking her daughter from her hands, Daryl doing the same with Magna.
"You okay?" Theo asked Lydia, who nodded. "Where is Shane?" Theo asked as Lydia pointed to the man in the distance trying to dig up some of the ground in order to try and regrow.
"Okay" Theo smiled as she and Daryl looked at one another, holding onto their kids.
"Daryl" Theo began as he looked at her immediately. "I'm not mad about what happened between you and Leah, I'm mad because you won't let me be mad at the fact she came into our lives' ' She explained as Daryl nodded. "I still love your stupid ass." She laughed as Daryl smiled at her.
"Somethings out here!" Jerry yelled as Theo took her son from Daryl allowing him to go and look at the incoming issue.
After a couple minutes of Daryl speaking to whoever it was outside, the doors opened, revealing Eugene.
"You son of a bitch" Theo smiled as Rosita ran to her best friend hugging him tightly as Theo headed towards him.
"Who the hell are these people?" Theo asked as Daryl took his kids from Theo, needing to switch from her mother mode to leader mode.
"Boss, I need you to hear me out" Eugene smiled as everyone gathered around to listen to what Eugene had to say.
Theo and Daryl stood back with Maggie to their left and Carol on their right. Daryl and Carol holding onto the small Dixon twins.
He explained where he and the others where before allowing one of the leaders of the place they call the commonwealth step forwards in order to talk to the remaining Alexandrian's.
They all listened, being asked to join them, a place for them at the commonwealth.
"You are more than welcome to come to the Commonwealth while we help rebuild your community" Lance smiled as he looked around.
"He gives me the Governor vibes" Was all Theo could say to her husband who looked at her worried.
The rest of Alexandria turned to Theo for an answer.
"Do you mind giving us a minute?" She asked Lance, he nodded as he continued to order his people in the right direction.
Theo took a step forward, looking at her people.
"Alexandria isn't safe right now, and if these people are for real, there will be a home for us to come back to. I think moving to the Commonwealth will be in the best interest for everyone's safety, because right now, we don't know how long this is going to take '' Theo looked around, "Eugene" She looked at him with a smile. "I know we'll be coming with you" She looked at her husband who nodded. "But I need your word that this is a good place" She asked, placing her arms on her hips as she waited for an answer
"Yeah ma'am. It truly is" Eugene smiled as others agreed to join the Dixon's to the Commonwealth.
"Lance?" She called him over, he smiled widely, overhearing their conversation anyway.
"This is my home, but I owe it to all of these people to have a chance at life, so I need your word, and so help me god I will kill you if you break it, but I need you to promise me that when Alexandria is fit to be lived in once again, I get my community and we get our homes back" She asked as he looked at her with confidence.
"Of course...."
