At the very start of the end of the world, Negan and Angie and baby Zack were left to fight for their lives. Well more like Negan was left to fight for all of their lives considering Angie was seven months pregnant.

Zack's mom had died while giving birth to him, leaving Negan to raise his infant son alone.

It was about two months after the start when she gave birth to him. Negan tried to fight off the walkers, but there was just too many of them. He couldn't kill them all. He had to protect baby Zack.

Angie held Negan's face in her hands and told him to go. To save Zack and make sure he's safe. Negan was sobbing hysterically and was telling her he wasn't going to leave her. He said they would all go together. 

She wasn't going to let him give up and she wasn't going to let her baby die. "Go please. I love you." She whispered before sending Negan off.

He sobbed hysterically as he ran out of the house and down the street to their truck. He wrapped Zack in his leather jacket and began driving down the road.

They drove until the truck broke down beyond repair and were left to walk several miles.

That was nine months ago. Now Negan has to worry about making sure his baby boy is growing up safe and sound and making sure that he actually grows up as normal as possible.

"Shh...baby boy it's okay..." Negan whispered as he rocked his son back to sleep. "Go back to sleep...Shh you're okay."

Zack continued to whine and fuss, tears slipped down his baby cheeks. Negan held him in one arm while he wiped his tears with the other hand.

Negan rifled through his bag until he found Zack's baby bottle. He shook it gently before holding it to Zack's mouth. "Here you go, son." He said quietly.

Once the bottle was in Zack's mouth, he went to town on the formula. "Ha you got one hell of an appetite, son. Just like your ole daddy." Negan said with a smile.

After Zack finished his bottle, in less than ten minutes, Negan put it away and gently began burping him. Once satisfied with it, Negan changed Zack's diaper and put him to bed.

Negan took his extra jacket out of his bag and wrapped it around his son, holding him close and rocked him side to side until he fell asleep.

The next day Negan woke up to a bright eyed, brown haired baby boy staring up at him. "Good morning, son." He cooed, giving him a kiss on his forehead.

Zack made some baby noises and waved his arms in the air. "We're gonna go on an adventure today. We're gonna try and find somewhere you can learn to walk and talk. And learn colors and learn how to read." Negan said in a baby voice.

A smile formed on Zack's face and he played with Negan's jacket zippers. "I'll find you a jacket just like Daddy's one day, sport. You'll be a total badass like me and your momma." Negan joked as he began tickling Zack's sides.

He slid up his shirt and began blowing raspberries on his stomach and playfully growled. Zack grabbed Negan's hair and started squealing.

Negan couldn't help but laugh at his son's reaction and hugged him tightly. "I love you, baby boy. Mommy's watching over you right now. She'll always be by your side no matter what. And I'll always be here too."

After packing everything up and settling Zack into the baby carrier on his chest, Negan slung his backpack over his shoulder and began the long walk to wherever it was they were going.

He had hopes of going to the ocean, that was the original plan he and Angie had devised, until...

Negan had walked for about two hours and made sure baby Zack, who was sleeping like a rock, was covered from the hot sun.

He continued walking for what felt like forever until he came across a small cottage. He slowly approached the door and tapped on the window, checking for any walkers.

Once he knew it was clear, he slowly opened the door and headed inside. "Hello?" He called out loudly. A small thud came from upstairs which caused Negan's heart to jump slightly.

He slowly headed up the stairs and followed the sound to a small linen closet. Gripping his knife tightly in his hand, Negan quickly swung the door open only to nearly piss his pants at a cat jumping off the shelf.

"HOLY SHIT!" He screamed as it nearly clawed his face off. Zack let out a small whimper before falling back asleep.

"Damn, kid, you could sleep through a fucking hurricane." Negan joked as he cradled the infant's head. He walked through the rest of the house, making sure it was all clear before settling in for the night ahead.

Luckily, and unfortunately, there was a baby crib in one of the bedrooms, so Negan set up his thangs there.

After preparing another bottle for Zack, Negan sat down on the bed next to the crib and began feeding it to him. "You're gonna get big and strong just like Daddy. Then you can kick all these dead pricks' asses. Show 'em who's boss." He said with a proud smile.

"I wish mommy was still here with us. I wish she could see how much you're growing. I wish she could see you grow into a man." Negan said sadly.

Once Zack finished the bottle, Negan burped him, changed his diaper again and put him in the crib. He kissed him goodnight and settled into his own bed.

It felt good to lay in a real bed, instead of the hard ground and the same tattered blanket Negan's carried around since before the start of it all.

Yet he still kept the piece of shit. Someone may think it's garbage and that he should just let it go, but to Negan, it was a blanket full of memories. It was a blanket that him and Angie shared so many good times with.

He was going to keep it until he was long gone. And he hoped that one day Zack would be able to carry the blanket around and make new memories with it.

"Goodnight, son. I love you." Negan said into the dark room. He knew Zack wouldn't respond anytime soon but he still wanted to say it.
