"What the hell are you two doing here?" Rick asked with shock as he opened the gates of Alexandria to be faced with Daryl and I. Jesus was with us too but Rick had been expecting Jesus, he had thought that Daryl and I were staying in the Kingdom but you couldn't keep Daryl anywhere he didn't want to be. We had joined Jesus on his journey to Alexandria because he told us that the group was going to a community Tara had found to get weapons and Daryl wanted to join, I could have stayed at the Hilltop but in all honesty, I wanted to go home. Alexandria was my home.
"We just missed you so much." I said with a smile as I wrapped my arms around Rick and he pulled me into a relieved hug. "Besides, my husband is more restless than Ezikiel's Tiger so you can't keep him anywhere."
I left Rick to greet Daryl and Jesus to stroll through the streets that I had missed so much and to see my family. It was Eric that I saw first, on the porch of the house that he shared with my brother, I shouted his name and moved towards him happily. Our chatter as we hugged seemed to attract my brother from inside his house and he came out with wide and surprised eyes.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as he pulled me towards him.
"I'm back." I shrugged simply.
"It isn't safe."
"I can hide here as good as anywhere." I said with a smile. "Go and say hi to Daryl, I'm going to see the others." I was exited to see everybody, so I walked quickly along the streets and to the familiar house where I had spent so much of my time. I walked in easily and saw that in the living room Carl was playing with Judith on the floor. "She's grown."
Carl looked back at the voice that he hadn't expected to hear. "She has. Does my dad know you're back here?"
"Yeah, I don't think he's too happy about it though."
"He's not too happy about anything at the moment." He told me before standing up and hugging me quickly so that I could pick Judith up into my arms and hold her happily. I felt better than I had in a while just being back in Alexandria, kind of safe.

"We're going to a community that Tara found, it's called Oceanside and they have guns." Rick said as we all sat in what used to be Deanna's house.
"Why do we only just know about this place?"
"They asked me to keep it a secret." Tara justified herself.
"Will they be willing to help us?" I asked her wondering what the people were like, she had clearly spent some time with them.
"They don't wanna fight Negan." She shook her head.
"So, we may have to fight them." Rick said. "But we're gonna do it as calmly as possible."
