THE CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF A TALL GATE AND I SWALLOWED HARD. I know I've been here before, I was just afraid to stay here. I opened the car door and got out and saw the gates open. Maggie stood by the gate with a smile on her face. I ran up to her and hugged her tight.

"I see you're happy to see me." She said.

"More than happy." I said as I let go of the hug. I looked down at her stomach, then back into her eyes.

"The baby's okay." She said. I sighed with relief as I hugged her once more. She hugged me back and let go of the hug. She walked up to Rick and hugged him, and then Michonne. I smiled and walked into the community. Jesus came up and saw me and gave me a smile. I smiled back and walked up and gave him a small hug.

"I'm glad I can be free, without worry." I said as I looked at him. He smiled back and looked at Carl.

"So, are you and Carl..." He said as he tried to come up with the words.

"I would consider us a couple." I said. I felt confident in my answer and looked back at Carl. He gave me a loving smile and and I walked up to him and held his hand.

"You know I'm glad I have you in my life." I said as I looked at his warm smile.

"I know, but I'm more grateful for what we are." He said as he pulled me closer. A small laugh escaped my lips.

"You just know your way with words and making me me smile, huh?" I asked him as I raised my eyebrow. He smile and pecked my lips.

"Yeah, I guess I do." He smiled and intertwined his fingers with mine. I gave him a warm smile and squeezed his hand as we entered the community. Everything was beautiful and growing. I looked around and smiled. I looked over to see Sasha. I smiled and let go of Carl's hand and walked over to Sasha.

"Still looking amazing." I said as she looked at me. She sighed and ruffled my hair.

"You still have a sense of humor." She said. I shook my head and smirked. I gave her a small hug and held her close.

"I'm glad you're okay." She said as she lightly wrapped her arms around me. I looked up at her and then over her shoulder to see Daryl. My heart stopped and I let go of Sasha. I hesitantly walked over to Daryl. He looked real, but I wasn't sure. I got closer to him, smelling his musk scent and I knew I wasn't dreaming. I let out a laugh of relief as I hugged him.

"I thought I'd never see you again..." I muffled as I held him tighter. He hugged me back and I couldn't feel more happier than this.

"I'll always be here." He said in a rough voice. I let go of the hug and I saw Rick. I stepped to the side and watched them embrace each other. I smiled and I looked over at Carl. He was focused on something or someone and I looked where he was staring. That's when I felt my body just freeze. Enid was walking out and she had a smile on her face. I felt a lump in my throat and I walked towards him. She noticed me and her smile faded away. All I could do was stare.

I didn't know how to feel about her being here. After all that's happened between us in the span of a few hours, I could even think. She walked up to me, and I could feel the tension between us three. Carl grabbed my hand and held it tight.

"Hi." She spoke as she looked towards the ground.

"Hi." I said. There wasn't that much emotion to my voice, only my looks could speak.

"I um... I just want to say.." She tried to form her words but I could tell she felt guilty.

"I never meant for anything to happen. And I don't know what came over me." She said as she scratched her neck. I took a deep breath and got closer to her.

"What you did, was kind of a dick move. But... I'm willing to forgive you." I said as I gave her a stern look.

"R-Really?" She said surprised.

"Yes, but this doesn't mean we're friends. You're gonna have to earn my trust back. You really hurt me Enid, and I don't know if we'll be friends again or just strangers who are in the same group." I said as I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"I'm willing to start over." She said with pride.

"I'm glad to hear that." A small smile appeared on my face and I stepped back and took Carl's hand once more. We all began to walk to the really big building in the back of the community. All that I know is that it's run by this guy named Gregory. From what Maggie has told me, he's kind of a dick.
