Dinner
Katie finally drove up to the front gates of Alexandria after what felt like forever.
She parked the car outside the gates.
"Scott! It's me! I'm back," Katie called.
The gate screeched open slowly.
A man that Katie didn't recognize stood in front of her.
"Who the hell are you?" Katie asked quickly.
"Negan's waiting for you," the man said.
Katie scoffed and rolled her eyes.
She walked past the man quickly making sure to tap him aggressively with her shoulder as she passed, getting him off balance.
Katie walked angrily down the street.
When she saw him, her heart dropped into her stomach and she thought she might throw up.
He was holding Judith.
He was sitting on her porch, in her rocking chair, next to her son, holding her daughter.
"Ah, Katie! I was wondering when you were gonna show up, doll face," Negan said, waving to her with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Katie asked quickly.
"Well, I'm doing you a favor. Carl, here, decided to be a little naughty and hid in one of my trucks. He even had the audacity to machine gun down some of my men," Negan said.
Katie's mouth hung agape.
She glared at Carl.
"Well, aren't you gonna thank me for bringing him home?" Negan asked.
"Thank you, Negan," Katie snapped through gritted teeth.
Negan chuckled and licked his bottom lip.
"Are you hungry, doll face? I'm starving. Let's make something to eat. I'm a pretty damn good cook," Negan said, standing up from the rocking chair, still holding Judith.
He handed the baby to Olivia who was standing in the corner of the porch, whimpering.
"I'm sorry, Katie," Olivia whispered.
Katie put her hand on Olivia's arm, letting her know that she was forgiven.
"It's a nice place you've got here, Katie. Carl gave me the grand tour," Negan said, motioning to the house around them.
"Don't beat me over the head for asking, but why the hell are you still here? You brought Carl back. Why don't you just leave?" Katie asked angrily.
"Like I said, I'm starving. And besides, the least you can do is sit down and have dinner with me considering I spared your kid's life. I was hoping Rick would be here. Where is he?" Negan said.
