Adeline wanted to go help Rick and everyone, but she couldn't. She needed to stay back, with Madelyn and look after Alexandria—Judith.
Adeline knew had to use a gun, she had killed walkers. But, she hadn't killed humans. She probably thought she'd have a nervous break down when shit needed to be done.
But she had to. She had to grow a back bone. If she wanted to survive, she had to kill the living...that's the only way to live. Adeline needed to kill the living in order to be alive.
But for now, she needed to stay back at Alexandria. Help out when it's needed. She knew her mother wouldn't want her out fighting, not when she wasn't there. Jaycee had faith in Adeline, but she didn't want Jaycee to return without a daughter.
Adeline sat on the porch of her house, Judith in her arms as she played peak-a-boo. The blonde child giggled, clapping her hands together.
"Carols recipe for these cookies are amazing." Adeline turned to Madelyn, who walked out with a plate of cookies, one in her free hand. "Want one?" Madelyn held out the plate, making Adeline grab two, giving one to Judith.
"Thank you." Adeline smiled as Judith nibbled on the cookie, looking around with a smile. "Do you think she's okay?" Adeline suddenly asked as Madelyn sat down beside her. "My mom?"
"Of course she is. Your mother is a badass, I'm sure she's heard that a lot." Madelyn grinned as Adeline let out a chuckle, nodding her head.
"Yeah. I just hope she's okay. God knows what being in there longer than a day is like. Me and Carl saw only half of it." Adeline breathed out, shaking her head as she ran her hand through Judith's hair. "But, she's got Dwight and Bellamy. Hell, I don't think negan will kill her."
"Why?" Madelyn frowned as Adeline shrugged her shoulders.
"He's, like, obsessed with her. I mean, look what he did to Sasha." Adeline frowned slightly as Madelyn bit her tongue. "Right hand woman? He ain't gonna kill her." Adeline shook her head as Madelyn nodded her hers.
"You think the rest are okay? Going to one of their outposts?" Madelyn asked as she ran a hand through her hair.
"Yeah, they'll be fine." Adeline nodded her head, puffing out her cheeks to make Judith laugh.
"I feel useless, you know. Sitting here, eating cookies whilst they're fighting for their lives—our lives." Madeline let out a deep sigh as Adeline nodded her head.
