Twisted tale of Negan

what the hell?

I have yet to let Katherine out of my sight, i mentioned dinner to Negan and at first he was very skeptical, which i don't blame him one bit. If i were him, hell I'd be skeptical ad well.

"So we are going to Maggie's?" Katherine exclaims.

"Yes, but. You two may not be playing dolls. It is dinner.."i walk over to her clothes and pick out a blue shirt and black leggings, and pulled out some sandals for her to wear "here put this stuff on, ill be back"

I walk to my room and open it to see Negan messing with his guns. "What are you doing, weirdo?" i ask.
He shrugs "just taking inventory."

I nod and walk to our bathroom, i decided i would just wear jeans and a black hoodie, i mean honestly, its a dinner in the apocalypse, why would i need to get all fancied up right? Besides, hoodies are comfy.

I walk out and Negan is slipping on his leather jacket "ready?" i ask.
-------------

We walked hand in hand throughout the neighborhood, Negan was getting dirty looks and i could tell it was getting to him "just ignore them baby" i whisper.

He looks to me and nods.

We make it to Maggie's and Katherine is very excited. She knocks on the door for us, and Maggie comes to answer it, she has on a pair of heels, but rather then that she has jeans and a long sleeve.

"Hey guys!" she smiles a toothy smile and hugs me.

"I hope you guys aren't too starved, we are just waitin on carl and Judith." she grabs Katherines hand and leads her inside.

Negans hand is clammy, my poor hubby. He has never felt more tension in his life, I'm sure of it.

Maggie pov

I invited Negan here today, because i really want to forgive him. I really do deep down. We didn't give him a chance, and he was trying to prove a point. When i answered the door i could tell Negan was shaking in his boots. The once proud, cocky man was now a nervous wreck.

I paid more attention to katherine, considering she is a kid. Innocent, and sometimes they are just better to be around. And plus, its good practice for my own.

We walked into the house and Rick was sitting at the table drinking. He wasn't too pleased that i invited Negan and Lucy, but i could care less its my dinner I'm hosting.

Carl and Judith showed up, and we could finally dig in.

I set up the table, with Katherine's help of course. Lucy and Negan were smiling at Katherine, who was the biggest help there. She set the plates and forks while i set the food.

After it was set i invited everyone to the table. Negan sat next to Lucy, clearly, on the other side of Rick.

Carl sat next to Judith, who sat next to Katherine.

It was like a stare down between everyone, well mostly Rick and Negan

"Would you like something to drink Negan?" i ask.

He looks at me and relaxes a little "yeah, that'd be great.."

Rick passes the bottle of bourbon to Negan "here" he grumbles.

Negan carefully takes the bottle and drinks right from it.

I could tell Lucy didn't like that at all. Something fishy is going on between Rick and Lucy, they keep eyeing each other, and Lucy is clearly uncomfortable. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to invite all of us.

Lucy started eating and making faces at Katherine, and the only noise was Katherine's laughter.

"So, Negan what did you do before.."

"You became a murderer?" Carl cuts me off.

Negan bows his head.

"Carl! Enough" Rick gets onto Carl.

Lucy had wide eyes she looked to Negan, who still had his head down.
"He worked for my dad, great at working on cars, and selling them too. I met him when i was 19, and have been madly in love since" Lucy smiled a warm smile at Negan.

He lifts his head and takes a swig of the bourbon "I wasn't planning on a relationship.. Well with anyone, always said i would be this bachelor, and for a long time i was, but then i met Lucy" he smiled back at her "And i just knew.."

She blushed and continued eating food.

"That's beautiful, i met Glenn during all of this.. We were doing it every chance we had back on my daddy's farm"

Rick laughed.

We all shared amused smiles, all except Negan. "He was a sweet guy. Nice, but he was so caring." i continue. I lift my glass up "to Glenn"

"To Glenn" everyone said in unison. Negan said it to, out of respect. Which I was happy for him to do.

Things had definitely changed, Negan wasn't so uptight, and Rick and Negan were actually acknowledging each other, and not in a hateful way either. So that's good.

Lucy was holding her small belly "thought of any names yet?" i asked.

She smiled softly "nah not yet, i just don't know of any.."

I nod "I'm with you on that"
-------------------

The night went on, we played board games and loosened up, Rick and Negan were having full-blown conversation so that was good.

Lucy disappeared and hasn't came back for awhile.

Negan is shit faced, as is Rick. Katherine passed out hours ago in my bed, which is fine i don't mind it.

Lucy comes storming into the house "Negan!" she shouts.

I've never seen a mood of a room change so quickly, my eyes lifted from the board game, and fear was written all over Lucy i examined her up and down, and noticed a pool of blood at her feet, she was a crying mess.

"What the hell?"
