Mackenzie Rosita Prime POV
I was helping Maggie with planting some wooden poles in the ground for the plants. "Kenzie."
I turned to see Sunstreaker. I smiled. "Hey."
"Shouldn't you be resting?" He asked. "Couldn't sleep. I don't know why." I said. He nodded. "Well, maybe it could have something to do with the fact of the baby?" He asked. I smiled.
"We're gonna be okay."
We heard a click and I saw Denise get Abraham and they ran back down. Me and Sunny ran after them.
Optimus pointed his shotgun at the man's head. "What the hell are you doing in our house?" He snarled. "I'm, uh, sitting on the steps looking at this painting, waiting for your parents to get dressed."
Optimus frowned.
"Hi... I'm Jesus."
Optimus turned to see Rick and Michonne. "Optimus. Hey, um..."
Me, Daryl, Glenn, Maggie, Sunstreaker, and Abraham ran up the steps to Rick's house our guns pointed. Dad had his shotgun on Jesus already. "You said we should talk. So let's talk."
I sat at the end of the table and Galvatron was pacing behind me. "So, how'd you get out?" Rick asked. "One guard can't cover two exits or third floor windows. Knots untie and locks get picked. Entropy comes from order, right?" Jesus asked.
"Right." Galvatron snarled. "I checked out your arsenal. I haven't seen anything like that in a long time. Your well-equipped, ut your provisions are low. Low enough for the amount of people you have here. 54?"
"More than that." Maggie snapped. Jesus looked at her. "Well, I appreciate the cookie. M compliments to the chef."
"She's not here." Dad growled. He was standing behind him. "Look, we got off to a bad start. But we're on the same side-- the living side. You and Rick had every reason to leave me out there, but you didn't. I'm from a place that's a lot like this one. Part of my job is searching out other settlements to trade with. I took your truck because my community needs things, and both of you looked like trouble." I sniggered. Dad gave me an unamused look.
I smiled innocently. "I was wrong. You're good people. And this is a good place. I think our communities may be in a position to help each other."
"Do you have food?" Glenn asked. "We've started to raise livestock. We scavenge, we grow. Everything from tomatoes to sorghum."
"Tell us why we should believe you." Rick snapped. "I'll show you. If you give me a car, I can take you back home and you can all see for yourselves who we are and what we have to offer."
"Wait, you're looking for more settlements? You mean you're already trading with other groups?" Maggie asked. Jesus smirked. "Your world's about to get a whole lot bigger!"
I laughed as Jesus said something. I saw Dad glance at us.
I was laid down on the RV with my head on Dad's shoulder. I then fell asleep.
Optimus was looking out the window as he had his hand on Kenzie's stomach.
