The moment for the feeling has come...
Maggie was once again laying in her bed, trying to process what just happened. She and Alden had sex. Passionate sex. With him coming inside of her, with no protection.
She felt guilty. Not guilty for having sex with Alden, but guilty for not feeling guilty for having sex with Alden. For enjoying it and wanting to do it again. For desiring intimacy again since the death of Glenn.
She wanted Alden. And he wanted her, based on how passionate her was.
Could she bring herself to begin a relationship wit him?

Alden was in his bed within the trailer her shared Oscar, Louie and Larry.
It had happened. They had sex. Passionate sex. And he loved it. And she loved it as well. His dream of having her had come true.
He wanted to be with her. He wanted to lover her, not just be a lover.
They would have to talk again, and settle this thing between them, once and for all.

The following day he could only meet her in the afternoon. After breakfast he had his apprenticeship with Earl and during the day he would serve as guard for the saviour-workers.
After finishing his work, he went to get some late lunch, and then headed towards Maggie's office.
Maggie had just finished breastfeeding little Hershel when Alden entered.
"Hey, Maggie"
"Hey, Alden" she replied.
This was the moment, she thought.
"So about last night…" he started.
"I have to admit that I enjoyed it, but…"
"But what?"
"I'm not sure if I can move on…"
He came closer and took her hand in his own.
"Maggie"
She looked at him.
"Alden"
"You don't have to let go of him fully in order to let me in. You can still have his memory"
He new he had to respect the late Glenn Rhee and his legacy in order to have a chance with her. What he had heard of her dead husband made him sound like an amazing person, who will always be missed and who will always cast a long shadow behind. And then there was little Hershel, their son.
"I can also respect boundaries and accept that Hershel is gonna come before me"
Maggie looked at him, before coming close to kiss his lips. She wanted this. She needed companionship and maybe even love.
Alden replied to the kiss, and embraced her with his arms.
After a moment they broke apart and looked at each other.
"So I guess we're together now?" He asked.
"Something like that" she replied.
She missed Glenn, but it was time to move on with her life.
How do you think I should continue?
