Jessamine Dixon lives in the apocalypse

Chokepoint

"We can go through the woods." Alex suggested.

"Not with the wagons and all the horses." I said and looked around.

"We could just move it. Keep the kids with there parents and whoever can try and move this." I ordered and they all moved around.

"You think it was them?" Steph asked while holding her four week old daughter in a baby wrap.

"Nah, it could be from the storm." I said and she walked back to the covered wagon with the rest of the people.

"Got it!" Alex announced and I turned around. Rodney, Peter, Deon, and Alex were hitting the tree with an ax and Anthony was sitting there watching with Scarlet.

"You just gonna sit there?" I asked while walking towards him and he turned towards me.

"It's good to have you back." Anthony told me and I scoffed.

"I was barely gone." I told him.

"It felt like--" Scarlet started making noises and she turned her head towards me. A smile went across her face and she put her arms out towards me.

"Scarlet Rhee Dixon, what are you doing?" I asked and laughed as she lunged towards me and I picked her up in my arms.

"Mama." She blubbered and grabbed at my hair.

"What'd you say?" I asked in shock and I looked up at Anthony who was looking at her with the same amount of shock.

"Has she done that before?" I asked.

"Mama!" She said louder and laughed at herself.

"I've never--no." Anthony told me and I started laughing.

"Holy shit." I whispered and Anthony pulled me into a hug while Scarlet went for his hair. We both laughed and finally got her hand out of it.

"Go help them." I said and Anthony walked towards the men working like a five year old.

"Yeah, I know. Dad is a little dramatic baby." I said and she busted into a fit of laughter. 

"You think Hilltop is on there way?" I turned around and Katherine had Nora by the hand.

"They might be, but they also might not be. We left a lot earlier than they would have." I told her and she laughed.

"Yeah, Jess, you made us leave as soon as we could see the sun." Katherine reminded me and I nodded my head.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did you not get enough beauty rest?" I asked and she scoffed at me.

"Yeah, I hate you." Katherine told me and I laughed.

"Don't tell Aunt Jess you hate her!" Nora warned and I nodded my head.

"Yeah, don't say that to Aunt Jess." I repeated and gave Nora a fist bump. Katherine knelt down and grabbed both of her daughter's hands.

"Nora, Aunt Jess is the reason I had to wake you up." Katherine told her and Nora looked up at me.

"It was you." She said and I laughed under my breath.

"Yes, but now we get to see Aunt Carol, and Uncle Ezekiel--and Uncle Jerry!" I told her and she nodded her head.

"Not saying it was worth it." Nora said and I shook my head.

"It will be." I told her and she nodded her head.

"I'm gonna go take a nap." Nora announced and walked back to the wagon once she saw Marie standing there.

The gates to the Kingdom opened and I smiled as I jumped from the wagon.

"All right, go with Laura, she's gonna show you guys where to set up. I'm gonna go find the King and Queen." I told them and they nodded there heads.

"Here you go." Anthony said and handed me Scarlet. She laid her head on my shoulder and we started walking.

"Jess!" Carol said and I smiled once I saw the two of them standing there.

"Hey." I said and walked over to them. 

"Hello, Scarlet." Carol said and Scarlet perked up right away. Carol had her arms out and Scarlet went right into them.

"Don't pull Auntie Carol's hair." I said and moved Carol's hair out of the way.

"Auntie Carol, I like that a lot more than Queen." Carol said to Scarlet and I laughed. I looked at Ezekiel and he had his hand on Scarlet's head.

"Where's Hilltop?" I asked.

"They should be here soon, with the escort's we found." Ezekiel told me.

"Escorts?" I asked.

"Yeah, they threatened us at first. But then we brought up the fact that were gonna have a movie." Carol told me.

"You guys found another bulb?" I asked.

"Yes, yes, we did." Ezekiel told me.

"You brought kids right?" Ezekiel asked.

"Yeah. Nora, Scar, John, Kelly, Cole, Rose, and Reed." I told him and he nodded with a wide smile.

"They're here." Carol said and I turned towards the gate.

"I'll go help them." I said and Carol handed Scarlet back to me. I walked over to the Hilltop caravan and Tara was carrying things.

"You know, I would help, but I don't feel like it." I said and she turned towards me. She handed the box to Kal right away and looked at Scarlet.

"Oh, as somebody who's known your mother longer than most of these people, I get a turn with you." Tara told Scarlet and she erupted into laughter again.

"Yes, Tara, you will." I told her.

"Awesome." She said and went back to grabbing the boxes.

"Hey, Yumiko, where's Daryl?" I asked and she looked around.

"They're not here?" Yumiko asked and I shook my head.

"Please tell me your kidding?" I asked her and she shook her head. I took a deep breath and nodded my head.

"Jess!" I turned around and Nabila was walking towards me.

"Nabila!" I said and I gave her a small hug.

"There's the little angel." Nabila said and grabbed her hand. Scarlet smiled at her and Nabila had a grin on her face.

"Dude!" I turned around and Jerry was walking towards me with his arms open. 

"Got her?" I asked Nabila and she grabbed Scarlet from my arms.

"Dude!" I said back. I gave Jerry a big ole hug and then we did our minor handshake.

"There she is!" Jerry said and walked over to Scarlet.

"Can I hold her? Oh, please, Jess, can I hold her?" Jerry asked like he was five and I laughed at him.

"Yes, Jerry, you can hold her." I told him and Nabila laughed as she handed Scarlet to Jerry.

"Oh, yes, dude. I am your uncle Jerry. I was there a little bit after you were born, but you probably don't remember that." Jerry told her.

"I don't think she'll remember this either." I told him and he shook his head.

"A man can dream." Jerry said and I pulled out my camera.

"Nabila." I said and she got next to Jerry. I took the picture and took another one for them. I handed Nabila one of them and put the other in my pocket.
