Ron took a breath, looking down the concrete stairs that lead to Negans cell. "Are you ok? Do you think you can?" Carl whispered, holding Ron's hand. "Yeah. Yeah. I can." Ron claimed, taking a step down. Carl walked down with him, the two holding hands. Ron reach his shaky hand to the doorknob, gripping it. "You have this." Carl said, kissing his cheek.
Ron opened the door, the two entering the room. "I'll be right outside if you need me." Carl said, giving him a kiss and leaving.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Negan said, smiling at the sight of Ron. "To what?" Ron asked, his hand around one of the bars.
"You and Carl. I just can't believe it. You two are sweet together though." Negan said. "Thanks." Ron said quietly. He took a breath, looking down for a moment. "We need to talk." He said, looking at Negan now.
"I know." Negan said with a sigh. Ron unlocked the door with the key and entered the cell. He sat in front of Negan, resting his head on his hands.
"This is about Carl, right?" Negan asked. Ron shook his head yes, not finding the words to start the conversation. "Look, I'm sorry. I really am. I'm not trying to make excuses, or lie to you, but I wasn't actually going to let a kid get hurt." Negan claimed.
"There's more than just physical injuries. What you did was still bad. Whether it was an act or not." Ron replied, looking down. "I know. You're right. I'm sorry. I'll even tell Carl that." Negan said. "I don't know how to forgive you. But I want to try." Ron said. "I'd like that." Negan said, tearing up.
Ron sighed, wrapping his arms around negan and giving him a hug. "I love you." Ron said, a tear falling down his cheek. "I love you too. Forever." Negan said, loving him whether he could forgive him or not. "Forever. That's what family does." Ron said, thinking that family always loved each other, no matter what.
They hugged for a minute, neither saying anything.
"Family, huh?" Negan said, smiling about it. "You're a better dad than my real dad was." Ron half joked, laughing. "Well you're a better son than I could ever have. Considering you exist." Negan said with a laugh.
Ron looked at him, confused. "I can't have kids. Doctors said it was me, not Lucille." Negan clarified. "Oh. Sorry. I guess me and carl can't either." Ron said, just now thinking of it. "It's ok. You two could always adopt. I'm sure there's plenty of kids without parents out there." Negan said, pushing Ron's hair back. "Yeah. Like when you found me." He replied in a whisper.
"Yeah. Like you." Negan said softly. "Were you and Lucille going to adopt?" Ron asked, pulling on his sleeve. "We never really talked about it. She got cancer not long after we found out I couldn't have kids. She would have loved you though." Negan said, smiling at the idea of Ron and Lucille together.
