3. Dangerous Woman

A little time went by, it was soon dark out and Jesus returned after speaking to Gregory.

"He is up and wants to talk" Jesus spoke up.

"Okay..." Rick nodded, getting up from where he was sat.

"To Maggie and Theo" Jesus explained, the two girls looked at each other, stopping Rick where he stood. 

They nodded before following Jesus up to where Gregory was. He owned the door and let the two girls in.

"Hello, Tara right?" Gregory began, smiling at Theo as he sat up slightly.

"Theo, close" Theo nodded, the man annoyed her more than a lot of things and she barely knew him.

"You heard our deal?" Maggie got straight to the point.

"Yes, you kill Negan and his men, then we begin trading" Gregory smiled "How do you know if you can do it?" He asked, face going serious.

"You don't know what we can do," Theo told him, tapping her gun with the tips of her fingers.

"Darling, please, i'm in agreement" Gregory smiled "You have yourself a deal"

"Good" Maggie nodded

"See you ladies" Gregory waved the girls out the door.

They closed the door behind them, Theo shivering a lot.

They began walking down the stairs besides one another.

"What's the matter? You cold?" Maggie asked, looking at her concerned.

"Nope, the man just gives me the creeps" Theo laughed as they walked into the room where everyone else waited.

"Well...?" Glenn asked, waiting there with his arms crossed.

"We have a deal" Maggie spoke up "We need to get home and get as many people involved as we can" Maggie nodded, looking around.

"Jesus, you and your friend that came back today need to come with us" Rick pointed out, Jesus agreed and went to get his friend.

"Hey, I don't think you should come with us," Daryl pointed out as they began walking back to the RV, to get stacks with supplies that will last them at least another month.

"I'll be okay" Theo rested her hands on his shoulders, to stop him, talking seriously for a moment.

"What if-" Daryl began

"Babe, i'm going to be okay, you're going so am i" She smiled as she got in the RV to wait for the others.

"But what if you get caught in the middle of something?" Daryl asked, coming into the RV and sitting with her.

"Well, you're not going without me, so if I'm not, neither are you" She crossed her arms as she went back into the uncomfortable seat.

"I have to go," Daryl told her.

"And so do i" She smirked, knowing he wasn't going to give in, but there wasn't a chance she wasn't going.

"Fine, but you can be on perimeter watch with Maggie, I don't want you in there." Daryl asked her in all seriousness, taking her hand in his.

"Hmm, but who was it who took out two men at terminus with her hands behind her back" She clicked her tongue making him roll his eyes with a smirk

"Yeah, yeah. Alright. We have a deal sunshine?" He wrapped his arm around her.

"Okay, deal" Theo smiled as he gave her a kiss before the rest of the group joined them.

Theo readjusted until she was much more comfortable, managing to relax.

Glenn passed a small piece of paper, which Theo gladly took, knowing what it was.

She looked to see a sonogram, a picture of Maggie and Glenns baby.

Theo couldn't help but become a little emotional as she passed it to Daryl, who smiled down to his wife.

The rest of the journey was silent, arriving early morning. Theo managed to get some rest on the way back.

They got into Alexandria, Rick stopping the RV, so the majority of the people could get off.

"Jesus" Theo called out to the man who smiled at her.

"I'm sorry, if i came across aggressive, i think i trust you enough in this, so if everything goes right tomorrow, thanks for not killing my dad and husband that day, and actually suggesting the trade" She gave him a small smile

"You're welcome and believe me, you didn't come across aggressive, if anything I just found you to be protective and that's important these days' ' He nodded before shaking her hand.

"Theo called a meeting in the church, we need to talk to everyone" Rick called out the window before driving off to park up the RV.

"What's going on?" Carol asked, walking beside her.

"Meet you over in the church in a minute, get everyone that can fight there" Theo explained to Carol as she headed over to the church herself.

She waited at the top of the church, her father soon joining her and eventually other people too.

Rick began explaining to the people unclear of the plan of what is going to happen.

"This is the only way we get food, we need to do this" Rick finished, Theo watched the room, she could tell not a lot of people were in agreement, but they knew it had to be done.

"Rick, are you sure this is the only way, can we not talk to them first?" Morgan asked standing up from his seat, causing all bodies to turn and face him.

"Okay, Morgan thinks we should talk first, anyone else wanna add anything?" Rick asked the people.

"Morgan, you wanna talk to these people, but what happens when that doesn't work and they start shooting, killing us before we get the chance to realise what is happening?" Theo asked Morgan

"Sounds like the only way is blood shed right?" Morgan asked, tilting his head towards the father and daughter.

"Yes it is, you don't have to like it, you don't have to do it, but if you wanna live here, you need to accept it" Rick said as he left the building.

The others got up, mostly following Rick.

"I'm going to head home and get a shower, meet you back at home?" Theo told Daryl, taking his hand to stop him.

"Alright babe, i'll get back and make some food" He told her before they went their separate ways.

Once Theo was home she took some of the vitamins she had been given before running up and turning on the shower.

She carried up the CD player that was usually in the front room and plugged it in upstairs, turning it on full before getting in the shower.

She got under the hot water, her mood was high despite everything that was happening tomorrow.

She began to sing some of her favourite songs, pretty much belting her lungs out.

Daryl walked in and immediately smiled hearing her sing, and the fact she did it around him now.

He walked up the stairs and peeked around the corner, her dancing and singing in the shower was highly entertaining.

Daryl leaned on the door frame as she was hitting every note.

She finally noticed Daryl.

"Please continue" He smiled as he began walking to her, joining her soon in the shower, she continued to sing and goof about, making Daryl laugh, more than she had ever heard.

He was impressed by how talented she really was, and how easily she hit every high note.

The song came to an end as they both headed out the shower.

Daryl turned off the music before smiling again at her.

"What?" She teasingly asked

"Your amazing" Daryl put simply.

"Thank you" She smirked as she headed towards him

"Round 2?" Daryl smiled back, knowing that he wasn't complaining about trying for a baby, and neither was she.
