Shane Walsh has always been told that he was a 'lucky sonofabitch'. Many times he had not felt that way, but today, oddly, he could see why people had thought that of him.
He managed to ram the car he had Michonne in, back and forth through a weak part of some metal fence wiring, near the abandoned mall Maggie and Father John had been in. He then successfully got the car out of Mount Falls and sped down some empty streets! His destination was the portal near Red River Rock Prison he had emerged from.
But he hit something in the road. Something that made TWO of his tires go flat! Cursing, Shane looked around and saw two walkers headed his way. He jumped out of the car and ran to the trunk to get Michonne out, when a guy in a truck fired two shots, hitting the walkers in the head and making them not a problem any longer. The guy was Jesus, from the Hilltop…
Jesus came upon a naked man, lifting Michonne out of a trunk and stopped abruptly. He got out and pointed his gun.
"What is this?" he asked and it was clear to Shane, that he knew Michonne. But Shane had a cover story for that too.
"I'm from Mount Falls and I'm trying to get Michonne to safety. Negan choked her and threw her in a trunk, before turning on the townspeople there! I just jumped in the car here and took off, hoping against hope to get her someplace where she could recover. I'm glad to see someone…I need to get back there and get Judith and RJ…"
Shane noted that Jesus's expression changed from one of wariness, to quasi trust. He lowered his gun and hurried over to see to Michonne.
"Well she's alive, no thanks to Negan! I never understood what the hell she was thinking by taking up with that piece of filth! What happened to your clothes?"
"It's a long story but Negan is involved. You knew him from somewhere else? I was living in Mount Falls when he just showed up and took over."
"That's what he does. Though he used to have thugs to do his dirty work." Jesus told him.
"Well…the truth is, Michonne is pregnant with my child. Michonne didn't want to leave Judith and RJ and it finally came to a head. I just need help getting her away from him." Shane lied.
Jesus looked at him again, his expression back to being wary. Michonne took up with this guy and was pregnant with his child? Jesus thought about taking them back to the Hilltop, but now he didn't know if their community needed this kind of trouble.
"Maybe you should take her to Alexandria. Rick Grimes knows her and would be more than willing to help."
"I know Rick," Shane 'confided', "and he's just as unhappy with my relationship with Michonne as Negan is."
"I'm sure he is," Jesus said gently, "but he's not Negan. And he would want his children to be safe." Jesus said, bending over Michonne when she seemed to be coming around…
Shane sighed and quickly put Jesus in a chokehold that rendered him unconscious! He searched for Jesus's keys, then lifted Michonne out of the trunk. But by the time Shane managed to put Jesus in the backseat of the car(he figured he would be protected from walkers that way), Michonne came to, fully, and while she was a bit unsteady on her feet, her eyes focused and took in the situation.
"Where are we?" she asked in a tone that was soft yet sharp. She took in his nudity, yet again, and couldn't believe he had left Mount Falls with her and hadn't thought to put on some clothes!
"In the middle of nowhere. Who is that guy? He knows you."
Michonne looked around until she spotted Jesus's unconscious form in the back of a car! She hurried over to him and opened the back passenger side, to find out if he was still alive. Shane eyed Jesus's clothes. He was shorter than him, but his clothing would do. Michonne came up out of the backseat and faced him.
"He's still alive. We need to get him back to the Hilltop."
"The Hilltop? That's a place like Mount Falls?"
"Sort of. Yes." Michonne said, then changed her mind. She did not want to bring Shane Walsh into innocent people's lives. Maybe it would be better if they took him to Alexandria. At least Siddiq could see to Jesus.
"Or we could take him back through the portal." Shane told her and Michonne stared him down.
"I'm not…"
"Do you want your friend to get medical help or not?"
Michonne said nothing and Shane ran a hand over his face.
"Look, I'm not about to leave this guy…what is his name?"
"Jesus."
Shane stared at her.
"You're kidding, right?"
"No. His name is Jesus."
"Meaning that's what he told you his name was but it's really something else?"
"How would I know? We call him Jesus."
"Okay, fine. But he could get good medical help in the world I'm from! And Judith and RJ could breathe fresh air, go to school and be kids again! You're having a baby…don't you want to have him or her in a hospital?"
"What YOU want, is Rick's family. We'll take Jesus back to Alexandria and then I'll leave with you. I'll go back to your portal world. Will that do?"
"I don't like your attitude." Shane said in a surly manner.
"How do expect my attitude to be, Shane? You lied when you came into our community and then kidnapped me! Negan is probably on a helicopter now, looking for us! You should go."
"So first you wanted to get Jesus to the Hilltop, then to Alexandria, if you came back with me to my world and now you're telling me to go alone? I don't like your attitude!"
"This isn't about attitude. It's about reality. Lori Grimes couldn't give herself to you in this world or the one you're from. And you just want what…"
"What Rick wants? Like Negan? Did it ever occur to you that the Michonne I was married to, was a deceitful bitch? Did it ever occur to you that I came here to meet a version of her that wasn't? Did it ever occur to you that before we went to that mall and found Maggie, my only plan was to stay here and get to know you better?" Shane huffed in frustration. And Michonne could hear that. His frustration. And that he talked about his relationship with her counterpart in the past tense. And somehow, Michonne did not think he had divorced her.
"Shane," Michonne said slowly, "that portal is trouble. You don't belong here. That other version of me didn't and that other Rick, definitely didn't! You see what even knowing about another reality does, don't you? It makes people seek out people they've lost and not caring about who they have to hurt to do it. Surely, there is someone else in your world, that you could start over with?"
Before Shane could answer, a noise interrupted them. And it sounded like a helicopter. Michonne knew it was Negan and refrained from shaking her head. While she felt for Shane, he needed to get out of here now or he would die. It was just as simple as that. But when she watched his face, she noticed a questioning look. Michonne looked at what he was looking at, and noticed that the helicopter had landed. And it was not from Mount Falls.
Michonne then backed back, as GLENN got out of the helicopter, along with ABRAHAM! They had to be from Shane's universe and suddenly, Michonne couldn't breathe! Her mind was back at that night. The night they were all on their knees and Negan was killing both of them.
Glenn was wearing a suit and looked very yuppie like. He eyed Michonne as he moved towards them but his eyes were on Shane. Abraham, who was the pilot, turned off the engine and got out as well.
"Sheriff Walsh. You were easier to find than I anticipated." Glenn said coolly, eyeing his nudity.
"I didn't know anyone was looking." was Shane's response.
"You left us quite a mess. A mess that has to be answered for." Glenn told him before looking at Michonne again. This one had an interesting look to her. He noted her pregnancy and eyed Shane again.
"Are you the father?"
"No. Negan is." Shane replied and Michonne felt a chill run through her. Neither Rick had expressed any familiarity with Negan in the other world. But now she had the distinct feeling Negan was known to these two.
"Negan? Interesting. Carol will be thrilled." Glenn said wryly as Abraham approached. He winked at Michonne before eyeing Shane.
"What the fuck, Sheriff? Put some damned clothes on! By the way, your wife and her boyfriend's brains are littering the town! I understand why you did it but…"
"I didn't do anything." Shane said calmly. "Rick tried to come back to our time to steal. I followed him through the portal and got trapped here. I ran into some weirdos that skin people and wear flesh for clothing and masks. I escaped and found this Michonne in a community living with Negan. I don't know who killed my wife."
"Or her lover?" Glenn asked sarcastically. "Let us say I believe you. Michonne and Morgan were valuable members of our community. Dexter, Rita, Miguel, Brian…we need compensation for our loss."
Michonne didn't like the sound of that at all! But she decided she needed to speak up. And an idea came to her. A terrible one. For Maggie.
"You're looking in the wrong place for 'compensation', Glenn."
"It's Congressman Rhee."
"I'm sorry, Congressman. Rita was killed by a woman named Maggie Rhee. And she is still killing. Her goal is to use your portal to be reunited by you. Neither yourself, or Abraham here, are alive in this world. So I think if you're looking for 'compensation', you need to take her with you. Back to your world." Michonne said, her senses still burning over Father John's death. Maggie, the woman she knew now, would fit right in with these people.
Shane looked at Michonne but said nothing. He didn't really know if any of that was true, but he did know that throwing Maggie under the bus, might get Glenn's mind off of Michonne and Morgan from his world. And Abraham was actually Shane's deputy! He had probably been pressed into service by Glenn to hunt him down.
Michonne could see that she had the congressman's attention.
"Andrea never said anything about that. She claimed that a woman that our Rick Grimes was living with, killed her. You're saying it was a version of my late wife?"
Michonne nodded, though she felt a flicker of guilt. Maggie was crazy to want to be with this Glenn! There was a coldness to him that was beyond unnerving. And even though Maggie had changed, Michonne could not see her loving this man. Not to mention that she had heard that Beth had killed the other Maggie, so she could be with Glenn. Michonne did not think that the Maggie she had known, would really be able to deal with that.
But she swallowed that guilt. She told herself she was saving Maggie from Negan. Eventually, Negan was going to do what he felt he needed to do to her, and that would leave Herschel an orphan.
Michonne felt Shane looking at her, and she sensed he was suspicious of her version of events. Maybe Maggie had told him something different. But his silence also told her that he was willing to throw Maggie to the wolves if it would spare her.
Shane then proved it.
"I've seen her. The Maggie here. She wants to come to our world. She had an idea that maybe the two of you could be reunited." Shane said. Glenn's expression remained eerily impassive and Michonne tried to block out her final image of his being bludgeoned to death and leaving this world. The shame that she had thought she had buried, at being with Negan, came swimming back.
Abraham made things worse by just talking. And this one didn't seem any different than the one she had known…
"Well hells bells, Rhee, you're not happy with that crazy wife of yours anyway! And it sounds like this Maggie can take her sister on this time around." Abraham said, before quickly reaching out and pinching Michonne on the ass! Michonne backhanded him in response and he just grinned!
"You're no different than the other Michonne, that's for damned sure!" he exclaimed, grinning.
"She is," Shane told him, "because if you'd pulled that on my wife, she would've killed you."
"No offense, Sheriff, but that was always the damned problem. You should've killed Morgan the moment you found out about the two of them. Morgan and Dexter too…"
Shane took a step towards his lippy deputy, but Glenn got between them.
"There's no time for this. Shane, take her back through the portal. We won't say anything to Negan or Carol about who she is to them in this world. I'll stay here and retrieve Maggie."
"I think you should just take Maggie." Michonne said, looking for a way to escape. But Shane gripped her arm.
"There is no way out. Let's just go and make the best of this." he urged her.
Michonne lurched out of his grip and ran into the woods! Glenn threw up his hands and rolled his eyes!
"Go and get her!" Glenn ordered Abraham. "And as for you, Shane, you're going to stay and help me get Maggie. I don't want to stay here any longer than necessary. The air here reeks of death and ass!"
But Shane revealed his gun and pointed it at Abraham, shooting him dead! Glenn put up his hands in surrender.
"I will go after MY wife. I would suggest you get your ass back to the portal and out of here." Shane said.
"How do you suggest I do that, Sheriff, since you just killed my helicopter pilot." Glenn said sarcastically.
Shane wasn't really listening. He was now taking Jesus's clothes off of him, so he would have something to put on. The sound of a distance helicopter could be heard.
"I know that's Negan." Shane said, half dressing while keeping his gun on Glenn. "He'd like nothing more than to kill you, just to make a point to Maggie. Get back to that portal or hide or whatever. I don't care which. I'm going to find Michonne!"
Glenn watched as Shane dressed and then ran into the woods. Glenn sighed and looked down at Abraham's dead body. He didn't usually carry a gun but Abraham's would have to do, since he didn't doubt Shane's words. He also looked back at the helicopter they had come to this world in. This Negan would find it and know to look for someone. Glenn looked around one last time, before running off in the same direction Shane had. He had no doubts whatsoever that Shane would take Michonne to the portal, once he found her. And he planned to follow them through it.
The only thing he could find even remotely funny about any of this, was that here, Negan was this killer bad ass. In their world, he didn't do his own killing. He used his wife's money to get the job done. Poor Carol. She might begin drinking again when she met this Michonne.
A FEW MOMENTS LATER-
Eugene landed the Mount Falls helicopter next to the abandoned one that Abraham had landed, and Negan got out. Eugene turned off the engine and soon joined him next to Abraham's dead body. Eugene kneeled over him and began to cry!
Negan rolled his eyes! Christ, clearly the red headed fuck was not a ghost! He had come through that portal and…and what? Negan heard moaning and soon, a semi naked Jesus(he still had underwear on), lurched out of the backseat of the car Shane stole. His eyes focused on Negan, Eugene and the dead body of someone who looked vaguely familiar.
"What are you doing here? Where is Michonne and that guy?" Jesus rasped. Negan's response to his question was to grab him by the throat!
"That's what we want to know! What happened here? And where is Chonnie?"
Jesus shoved a hand against Negan's face to get him to release him! Eugene pulled Negan off of him!
"He knows something so let him talk!" Eugene yelled. And ordinarily he would have never yelled at Negan! But his nerves were raw here! Finding Abraham's dead body looking more intact than the body Negan had left them with, on that fateful night, was horrifying. Who had done this? Shane?
"Alright, Moses, talk!" Negan barked.
"It's Jesus!"
"Yeah…okay, talk!"
Jesus looked around and his eyes settled on the helicopter.
"You brought two helicopters?"
Negan's response was to choke him again! Eugene yelled and pulled Negan off of him again! Negan pulled out a gun and out it to Jesus's forehead!
"If you don't start talking, you're going to join that red headed fuck down on the ground, are we clear? Where did Shane take Chonnie?"
"I don't know! I found them here and knew something was off when he picked her up out of the trunk. She was unconscious. He said that Michonne was pregnant with his child and he wanted to get her someplace safe. But then he would've taken my truck…" Jesus said, as he himself tried to figure out what had happened here.
Negan took the gun off of him. Yes, there was a truck there that looked as if it ran. The stolen car had two flats and dead red headed guy was lying out here, along with a helicopter. He had probably been the threat.
"Eugene, I want you and Moses here, to search for Chonnie and Shane from the air. I can see tracks that go into the woods. I'm going to search on foot." Negan said and hurried off in the direction that Michonne, Shane and Glenn, had headed off in.
Meanwhile, Michonne hid behind a tree when she heard crackling sounds. They sounded sort of far away. Sort of. She stood very still, knowing that the tree was wide enough to hide her form. Meanwhile, Shane looked around, sensing Michonne was around but unsure of her location.
"Michonne!" Shane called out. "Listen to me! Just come through the portal with me to see how Judith and RJ would like it. If you don't think they would, you can come back! I swear it!"
Glenn, who was a distance behind Shane, heard the offer. He also heard running footsteps behind him! That had to be whoever that was in the other helicopter! Glenn hid behind a large tree and held his breath. He watched as Negan ran past him and towards Shane's voice. He smiled, taking in Negan's low brow appearance. Negan wore designer suits and wouldn't be caught dead in a leather jacket! He stayed behind the tree a few more moments, then followed after Negan.
Behind her own tree, Michonne did not answer and tried to stay very quiet, while looking for a weapon of some sort. She had heard a gunshot earlier, when she first entered the woods and assumed that Abraham had killed Shane. Someone was dead and it definitely was not Shane!
Shane then made a mistake. He took a chance and ran off in another direction. One that took him away from Michonne and brought him to someone else. Someone who was lying on a blanket in the woods, naked and supposedly sunbathing.
It was Alpha.
Shane stopped short and stared at her nudity and bald head. He knew damned well with all the noise he had been making, she had heard him and knew he was standing over her. He cocked his gun.
"Alpha. What the fuck are you doing out here?"
Alpha opened her eyes but did not show any surprise. Shane didn't think he'd ever seen her show any, ever. Alpha sat up slowly and hugged her knees.
"It's Shane, isn't it? Though you told us your name was Frank." she said softly.
Shane looked around.
"Is Beta with you?"
"No."
"Rick?"
"No. He left to find you. He told me that we had a child together in that other world of yours. And yet when you came to us, you weren't very fatherly to our little girl."
"Lydia isn't my daughter here."
"And she's barely your daughter there." Alpha said and began to sit up. But Shane pointed his gun on her.
"Stay down. I don't know what Rick and you are up to out here, but you stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours." Shane told her. He then turned and began to head back in the opposite direction, wondering how long this delay had given Michonne to get away from him! He did not see Alpha pull out a knife from underneath her blanket and fling it at Shane's back!
But Negan did, from behind a tree!
"Holy shit!" he muttered, then eased away from the tree and continued looking for Michonne. At least he knew that that Shane fuck was down for the count! He started running, tempted to call out for Michonne, but decided against it. He hadn't known Alpha was anywhere nearby. There was no telling how many of Rick's other people were around here.
Michonne peered from behind her tree and saw that Shane was gone. She began moving again, looking for some familiar landmark so she could get back to the road they had been on. She needed to be seen when Negan came for her and…
She smashed directly into Glenn and they both fell! He recovered first and pulled a gun on her.
"This is not personal, Michonne. But I cannot return to my world with no one. When my people are killed here, someone has to replace them."
"And that's why I told you to take Maggie…and your son." Michonne told him, holding up her hands in surrender.
"My son?" Glenn asked curiously. "Maggie and I had no children…"
"There. Beth killed her before she could give you any kids. You have a son. You were killed before you saw him born. Take them both." Michonne said and she could see that Glenn was shocked.
And that was his undoing.
Negan shot Glenn in the forehead and he dropped to the ground. Michonne flinched, watching the man that had been a dear friend in this world, die again in front of her, at the hands of Negan. He had wanted to meet Herschel, she could see it in his eyes. Herschel had been a game changer. She slowly turned to face Negan, who pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
"Thank fucking God!" he moaned into her hair, before letting her go.
"You didn't have to do that! I think he was going to take Maggie and Herschel with him!"
Negan stared at her for a short moment before answering.
"Honey, pregnancy does things to the mind."
"Really?" Michonne asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, really! I could give two fucks whether Maggie and that brat of hers, live with this murdering fuck someplace! You saw his gun, don't you? He would've killed you and found Maggie and their kid himself! Now can we get out of here? I just saw Alpha, butt naked and she stabbed Shane in the back!"
"What?! What is she doing out here naked?"
"The fuck if I know! But I saw him go down over there someplace! If Alpha was out here, then Rick planned this shit somehow! You can bet on it! Deke and some of the other men threw Maggie and Rick out of Mount Falls, so we don't have to worry about seeing them…"
Negan was interrupted as the sound of leaves rustling got their attention. Shane was crawling towards them, reaching up. Negan walked over to him and started to put a bullet in his head, when Michonne stopped him!
"Negan," she said quietly, "we are running out of supplies. Evil Rick was stealing to get things for the town to live on. Some of the store owners are running out of things. Maybe we need to keep him."
Negan said nothing at first, unsure that keeping this fuck alive was a good thing. But he paused and looked at Michonne.
"So we use him to get us things?"
"Yes. He can't go back. Glenn and Abraham were here to take him back and make him answer for killing his wife and her lover." Michonne said, unable to make herself say out loud that he had murdered the 'other version of herself'.
Negan lowered his gun. Going back would be dangerous then. He'd definitely want to do an 'in and out'. Still…
"A man like that would want more, Chonnie. I still say he'll need a wife. Someone that he would want to come back for."
Michonne rubbed the back of her neck.
"We could offer to let him spend time with Judith. And only if she wanted to. I don't like it, but she really is the only thing he loves here."
"She's not the only thing he loves." Negan said in a disagreeable tone. "And the answer to that is no. I can't believe you'd even suggest that shit!"
"Negan," Michonne said calmly, "if I thought he didn't care about her, the words would have never left my mouth. But he is worried that life here is dangerous. And it is! He just wanted to take her back to his world where the undead aren't around every corner! I get that! Let me put it like this: we let him spend time with Judith, but supervised."
Negan still didn't like it. But then he thought about how much Rick wouldn't like it, and that made it somewhat bearable.
"If Judith doesn't agree to it, then we find something else to hang over his head." Negan said. Michonne reached for his face, kissed him quickly, then let go of him and hurried over to Shane. He was still alive. They would get him back to Mount Falls by helicopter.
MOUNT FALLS-
When Eugene flew Negan, Michonne and the injured Shane, back to Mount Falls, Negan was pleased to see that work on the part of the fence that Shane had fucked up, when he left here with Michonne, had just finished. There was no way stray walkers could get into the town from that direction.
Deke and some burly men that frequented the local bars in the town, had thrown Rick and Maggie out of Mount Falls. They had not been given a ride and were told to walk. So it would be days before they got back to Alexandria. Negan was secretly hoping that Rick and Maggie would grow close out in the wild, and that would end Rick's dreams of being with Michonne again!
Needless to say, Michonne hadn't liked hearing that. That Rick had been forced to walk back, but she didn't dwell on the point. She and Negan would have to deal with Judith and RJ about what was going to happen with regards to 'Sheriff Shane'. Michonne now felt funny about this whole thing. Was it really their place to tell Judith that Shane was her real father? Or was it Rick's?
Michonne told herself that Judith was her daughter. When Rick couldn't make his way back to them, that was when he lost the right to have any decision making power. Besides, he's the one that brought all of these people into their lives, by not securing the gateway between their two worlds.
Still…that left Shane. Shane had to agree to this deal. That being to steal from his universe and bring the goods here. And Michonne decided that Negan had a way about him, when he asked for 'favors', that made one not want to cooperate. Michonne put the kids to bed early and got no disagreement from them, which in a way saddened her. They were trying to be brave, but the events of the last 48 hours had unnerved and tired them out. Michonne was determined to put their world back right again.
Negan was in the sitting room with Deke and some other men, discussing the new mall plans. There was a lot going on tonight. Negan had let John, the other helicopter pilot, out of jail so he could help Eugene return with the helicopter Glenn and Abraham had brought into this world. Michonne decided to go out of the kitchen back door and make her way to the infirmary. There, Shane was being looked after by John's girlfriend, who had medical skills. Her name was Naomi.
Michonne walked in and closed the door. Naomi was sitting behind a counter, reading an old magazine. She looked up when Michonne walked in and put the magazine down.
"How is he?" she asked.
"It was good you decided to get him back here instead of leaving him." Naomi said. Michonne was aware that Naomi had been a 'Madison/Nick' fan. But she seemed to roll with the punches better than anyone else that had been aligned with them had.
"Is he awake? Can I see him?"
"I don't know if he's awake. But yes, you can see him. I hope this means that John doesn't have to spend anymore time in that jail." Naomi said matter-of-factly. "You wouldn't be back here if not for him."
"That was Negan's call." Michonne told her. "John helped Maggie escape. She murdered Father John because of it. Why don't you take a break? If something happens with Shane, I'll find you."
Naomi said nothing and walked away from the counter. She soon left the building and Michonne decided that maybe a new doctor would be needed around here. It did them no good to keep anyone around, that came here with Madison or Nick Clarke.
She opened the door to Shane's room and found him sitting up, shirtless, sipping on some drink with a straw. Michonne moved to stand over his bed.
"How are you feeling?"
"Why am I still alive? How come Negan didn't leave me?"
"Because we have a deal for you. One that I think you should take. A deal that will be good for everyone." Michonne said pointedly.
"I'm doing nothing for Negan."
"Then do it for yourself! I am staying here, along with my children. If you want to make sure that they have what they need, then I need for you to return back to your own world, from time to time, and get things for us. Like the Rick from that universe did."
Shane gave Michonne a look of disbelief!
"And you thought I would just go for that?"
"I thought you loved your daughter."
"Michonne, I'm never going to stop trying to take her back to my time. I'm never going to stop trying to take YOU back as well. So Negan might as well kill me now."
"And is that what you want me to tell him? You could stay here, get to know Judith…"
"Oh you'd let me?"
"If she was living with Rick, Rick would never allow what I was proposing. Yes, Negan and I are agreeable to this, as long as Judith is. If she's not…"
"Then what? I'll tell you what? I'll offer you a counter proposal: YOU steal the stuff. I'll take you back there, show you where everything is and then we return, safe and sound."
Michonne folded her arms.
"You'd rather do that then get to know your daughter?"
"I can have both."
"Forget it. We don't need you. Rick knows where the portal is. We can make the same agreement with him." Michonne told him matter of factly, before starting to leave. But then Shane offered another solution. One that wasn't much better.
"You don't know that I will come back if you let me go alone. Negan is already there so it can't be the one to come with me. It has to be you. You come with me, make sure I steal what I'm supposed to steal, and then we come back together. We could do this weekly."
"How stupid do you think I am, Shane? That still works out to my being there in that world with you, and 'suddenly', I'm forced to stay. Just like Rick was."
Shane slowly sat up, wincing.
"Michonne, the only way I will agree to come back here on my own, with your supplies, is if I have something to come back for."
"Meaning?" Michonne asked. But she knew. God help her, she knew.
"You know what I mean. Negan never has to know. We become lovers, whenever I want. Whenever you want…"
"Christ!" Michonne yelled. "I'm pregnant!"
"So?"
"Okay, we'll figure something else out!" Michonne told him and began to walk out, but Shane's words stopped her.
"Michonne," Shane said slowly, "I know what type of women you are. I know you want this town to succeed. Naomi said that they are running low on penicillin…you are not going to allow people to go without things they need. Think about it."
Michonne turned and walked out of his room and the infirmary. She should have never come over here. She was given at least four options by this man that were all unworkable.
Or were they? After after all, anything that involved not fucking Shane Walsh was acceptable, wasn't it? She could go with him and watch him. Once she knew the exact location of the portal, on each side, she could come and go as she pleased as well, right?
She thought of Rick. Then another idea came to her. One that Negan would hate just as much, but it was doable.
Rick could go with Shane and watch him. Rick would come back—this time. He had every reason to, if they gave him one. Half of the proceeds…and time with Judith and RJ.
Meanwhile, outside the gates of Alexandria, John the helicopter pilot, dropped Jesus off….along with the dead bodies of Abraham and Glenn—per Negan's orders.
