Prologue

Andrea was more than Amy's older sister. In fact, Andrea had just turned fifteen when she became pregnant and gave birth to Amy. She never saw or heard from the boy she'd given her virginity to at summer camp. Her parents raised Amy as their own, so Andrea wouldn't have to give her baby away in adoption. This allowed Andrea to continue her schooling, and still remain as close to Amy as possible.

When the Walkers invaded their camp outside of Atlanta, Andrea was able to save Amy from being bitten. She and Amy, followed their group and they eventually made it to the Greene Farm. Andrea contemplated revealing the truth to Amy many times, but she was frightened she'd lose Amy.

The night the herd attacked the Farm, they were separated from their group, and barely made it out alive. Together, they fought off walkers and wandered through the woods together. One morning, Andrea finally confessed she was actually Amy's mother. At Amy's shock, their heightened voices attracted some nearby walkers.

They were nearly pinned down, neither able to help the other. In a moment of panic, their eyes connected, fearing these were their final moments. Michonne happened upon them at the precise moment, saving them. The three women, along with Michonne's pet walkers, survived the winter together. Amy, having made peace with the truth, allowed for mother and daughter to begin rebuilding their relationship.

Eventually, they were found by The Governor's men and taken to Woodberry. Amy ultimately agreed with Michonne's distrust of the Governor, even when Andrea didn't. One day, she secretly left Woodberry and was witness to the Governor's first attack at the Prison. There, she was reunited with her old friends and realized the Governor's true nature. Amy wanted to get Andrea back, but was asked to stay safe by Daryl. He promised they'd bring Andrea back.

Once Andrea were rescued, she and Amy stayed at the Prison with their old friends. Amy had a mini celebration of her seventeenth birthday, as everyone was happy they were back, albeit surprised to learn their truth as well. Before long, The Governor launched his most destructive attack against the Prison.

Towards the end of that final attack, everyone scattered. Andrea and Amy were together but on their own, once again. During their travels, they met and befriended several different survivor groups. Still, they always moved on, preferring to search for their friends. One day, they were found by The Saviors and taken to Negan.

While they longed to find their friends again, they knew the improbability of that. Realizing they were as relatively safe for the time being, as they ever were, they stayed within Negan's group. While there, they worked to earn their keep and kept out of trouble. The girls very quickly realized the kind of man Nehan was and were glad to stick to their story of being drifters without a group, never openly discussing any of their former friends.

Only weeks after arriving at the Sanctuary, Negan began taking an interest in Andrea. She realized it, and tried to avoid being wherever he might be. She had learned her lesson after bonding with Shane, and then The Governor. She wouldn't let Negan be strike three. Unbeknownst to her at the time, Negan was not one to take No for an answer. He named her one of his future wives, and proclaimed Amy would be his stepdaughter soon.

For weeks after his announcement, Andrea was glad Negan had not forced himself on her. He told her he takes what he wants, but would wait for her to 'come to him'. However, Negan was not above making threats, which he soon proved. When Negan insinuated that Amy might best be suited for off-compound duty that might put her in harm's way, Andrea knew what she had to do. She went to his bedroom that night and accepted his proposal, in order to keep Amy safe.

Though it was widely known that their union was his choice above hers, Andrea and Amy were shown the respect Negan demended. Then, over time, the girls begam ro earn his people's repect for themselves. Their easiness, Amy's kindness with the kids, and Andrea's intelligence and problem solving skills, went a long way with the Saviors.

Andrea was compliant to Negan, but she never truly shown him any affections aside from laying with him, nor he to her. Aside from the show he paraded among his people, and the nights he demanded she go to his bed, they barely interacted. Not to say Andrea ever bit her tongue when it was just them. While she never outright disrespected him, she often spoke her mind or called him out. For whatever reason, he allowed it, usually amused by her quick wit and biting tongue. He also saw the respect she and Amy earned within his group, and he knew she was an asset that he needed to keep on his side.

Chapter 1

Every morning, Amy worked with the few small children at the compound, as their teacher and guardian of sorts, while their parents worked for Negan. In the afternoons, she spent time with Andrea and some of the other girls Negan called his wives. Andrea and the others told her that Negan rarely spent time with the other girls, usually choosing Andrea. In the evenings, Amy was to have dinner with Andrea and Negan, unless he was otherwise occupied. The nights he was away, Andrea would come to her room to eat dinner together.

Days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months. Amy often missed their old friends, but realized she thought of them less and less. She and Andrea barely ever mentioned them or the friends they made when they travelled. They feared Negan seeking them out, and hurting them. One night, Amy asked Andrea if she planned to end her farce of a marriage with Negan. Andrea got quiet and shuddered, then told her no.

"But, why?" Amy asked. "We're highly respected and can get away with practically anything. We could escape, Andrea." Amy said confidently, but in a whisper to avoid anyone overhearing.

"No, Amy, and don't say that again." Andrea responded in a harsh demanding whisper. "He wouldn't let that go … he'd stop at nothing to find us. Then, he'd make us pay for it. I've seen and heard things … No, we'll stay." Andrea told her with finality.

"I know you're not happy, neither of us are - But, do you really think we could last here much longer?" Amy asked curiously.

"Maybe not happy per say, but I can't deny that we're safe here. For now and however long that lasts, I'll be happy about that." Andrea replied, holding onto Amy's hand, before moving to open the bedroom door to leave for the night.

"Good night, Sweet Amy." Andrea called to her softly from the open door, using the old nickname with a smile.

"Good night … Mom." Amy responded almost timidly, making Andrea stop still.

"You know you don't have to call me that when Negan isn't around." Andrea told her, somewhat saddened by the fact that it had been Negan's influence for her to do that, rather than her own.

"I know and I did it 'cause I wanted to. It still feels a bit unnatural after years of calling you Andrea, but you are my mom. You should know I don't take that lightly, especially after all we've been through. I do see you as my mom now, even if I was used to calling you Andrea." Amy replied with a smile.

Andrea smiled widely in return and walked closer to Amy. "I love you, Sweet Amy, my sweet Amy." Andrea told her, gently moving some of Amy bangs from her forehead, then pressed a kiss to Amy's cheek, tenderly.

"I love you, too." Amy responded with a tight hug.

After a few minutes, Andrea left Amy's room with a wide grin on her face. She was still flying high on the feeling Amy inspired in her. As she turned the nearest corner, she bumped to something hard. The impact made her stumble backwards.

"Hey now..." A male voice said as hands reached to grip her shoulders, keeping her from falling.

Andrea looked up, startled to see Negan standing before her with a smile on his face. The moment jarred her already confused mind. She hadn't been expecting to bump into anyone, least of all him. Nor, could she ever recall him smiling that way.

She'd seen his sinister smile countless times, just as she'd seen his predatory smile on many nights, but she couldn't place this smile. This one was different, she didn't know what it meant, and that made her nervous because they were so close to Amy's room. That thought made her wonder …

"Why are you here?" She asked him without thinking, and saw his smile change before her very eyes.

"I can be wherever I want to be." He responded, with an almost menacing smile, daring her to challenge him but she was quick to amend her statement.

"I only meant - I thought you were away for the night. Amy and I would've had dinner with you if I knew you were back." Andrea smiled, trying to make it as believable as possible.

"I see … It's no matter, I only just returned. They said you were here so I came to say goodnight to our daughter … and tell you I want you in my bed tonight." He told her with that same smirk she knew he used when he was trying to push her buttons.

Wanting to get him as far away from Amy as possible, Andrea smiled as she always did - like she didn't realize his intent. "Amy is probably falling asleep by now, but I'm wide awake." She responded, trying to be alluring as she walked around him, taking one of his hands, and effectively leading the way to his bedroom.

What Andrea didn't know, is that Negan was at Amy's door whIle she was in there. He heard when Amy called her Mom, and he listened to their genuinely loving conversation afterwards. Negan moved when he realized Andrea was getting up to leave, and peered around the corner at her. He saw the smile on Andrea's face as she shut Amy's door, before hiding when Andrea began walking.

What Negan wouldn't admit to, is the feeling their conversation had on him. Just like the pang he felt at seeing Andrea smile the way she did. She'd never smiled in his presence that way… not that he'd ever needed her to. There was a long forgotten feeling in the pit of his stomach when he recalled her admitting she wasn't happy, and staying only for their safety. It didn't exactly sit right with him, but he pushed it out of mind as he let her lead him through the hallways to his bedroom.

Her smile was nowhere near the one he'd seen earlier, but it was inviting just the same. He unlocked his door with one hand, using the other to pull her to him. He kissed her hard and unexpectedly, knowing he'd startled her. But soon enough, she was kissing him back. His body pressed her against the wall and he reveled in a slight moan from her. Then, he pulled her into his bedroom and slammed the door closed with his foot.

A/N: Soooo? What do you think so far?
