When all is yours to take:

*14th of July 2018*

''YAAAHH!'' Amelie shouted, pushing her horse harder as she dig her heels in its flank repetitively.

The beast sprung forward, going even faster and the woman laughed as she looked over her shoulder. The other horse and its rider were left behind in the dust. However, she heard the person behind yell as well and she knew the rider was coming closer.

The woman huffed: the other horseman was way lighter than her: his horse had less weight to carry. Their horses were shoulder to shoulder as they ran full speed toward the Sanctuary.

''OPEN THE GATES!'' She shouted over the top of her lungs.

Theo laughed on his horse and pushed it harder as they galloped. People were hurrying over the walls, trying to open the gates for them quickly enough. Dear Lord…they wouldn't make it ….

''OPEN THE FUCKING GATES!'' She screamed with more urgency.

The doors were slowly opening; but it was not enough for both of their horses. Abruptly, Amelie reined, letting Theo pass in front of her so he could go through the crack. They arrived in still going fast, making the people near screaming in surprise. Theo stopped his horses abruptly and laughed again: ''Je gagne! '' *I win!*

Amelie brought her horse closer: ''Pfft! I let you: one of us would have hit the door!''

He giggled: ''You're a sore loser.''

She gently pushed him on the shoulder and smiled: ''You won fare and square then.''

''WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK!?''

The pair turned in time to see Negan, almost charging toward them, a scowl on his face: ''Are you fucking trying to kill the two of you and someone else!? ''

''We were racing! And I won!'' Theo exclaimed.

The man raised a menacing finger toward him: ''You bet your ass you won; you won yourself extra chores! ''

''Awww! Please—'' Theo started to whine.

''—Nope. '' the black haired man cut him off.

The 10 years old hung his head in defeat and directed his horse toward the Sanctuary's stables. Amelie watched him go with a smile on her face until she saw the leader grabbed her mount's reins.

''…And you: you're not out of trouble.'' He grumbled as he followed behind Theo.

She held the pummel of her saddle: '' Hey…you're actually just jealous because you're a piss poor rider!''

''Ah. Ah. These fucking things are evil; they bite, they smell, they take too much space… They're good to haul stuff around at best.'' He said pointing at the horse.

Since about a year, they ran out of gas…just as predicted. Not a single drop could be found in a 100 miles radius. They still had a small reserve, but it was only to be used in case of emergency. Amelie had been excited about riding: it was just like in the movies and the fantasy books…but let's say Negan preferred cars. Maggie had been giving classes and tips to people around; saddles, bridles and other gears had been made to suit their new needs. Months ago, the three communities had been on what they called ''horse runs'', trying to find ranches and farms to find beast and equipments both.

The Hilltop, Alexandria and the Sanctuary were thriving; all three communities had expended and welcomed new people over the last 2 years. They now had cattle, gardens and people were learning trades. There was even a blacksmith at Hilltop. It looked the same in Canada; civilization was rising up again, restoring what had been lost in the last years. Pascal's dream came true: he had built something; was building something.

She shook her head: ''They're not things…Horses are living beings and good companions.'' The woman said, patting her animal's neck. Her mount was a beautiful, black beast, strong and fast. Amelie was always taking this one and soon, it was known as her horse. Which she had named, Pit-bull, for its temper and fierceness it broadcasted.

They arrived at the stables and Amelie dismounted, landing gracefully on her feet. Glancing at Theo, she saw he had already watered his horse and was brushing it right now.

'' Sometimes, I think you love that fucking horse more than you love me.'' The man grumbled.

She kissed the horse's muzzle: ''Pit-bull obeys me and never argues with me, him.'' She joked.

The man went to shove her playfully, but the horse almost bit off his fingers.

''Fuck! Fucking hell spawn creature!'' he cursed loudly.

Amelie patted her animal again: ''Bad, bad horse.'' She said without any authority or anger behind it.

The Saviors' leader snorted and headed out of the stables: ''See you for diner.''

The girl took care of her horse and then headed toward Theo to help him remove his saddle, all the while thinking about the events of the last two years.

She and Negan were at peace; that was something.

The first time she had come back during the autumn, the woman was nervous about his reaction.

''So you're back…and here I thought I'd never see your ass around again.'' The man said from the top of the fence as she stood in front of the Sanctuary's gates.

Amelie shrugged: ''I always keep my promises and I promised Theo we would come back here, and so here I am.''

Theo got his head out of the window on his side: ''Hi Negan!"

The man saluted him:'' Hi Kiddo! ''

''So…I'll understand if you don't want me to stay here, but Theo really wanted to, so—'' She began.

He cut her off:''-Are you fucking stupid?! I'm not letting you live anywhere else, but the Sanctuary.''

And so she had stayed in the Sanctuary during her first winter back. However, she had refused to stay in Negan's house. Her previous place in the warehouse, which had been occupied the year before, wasn't anymore as the man living there had died during the war. She did some cleaning and rearranged the place to her taste, even if Theo had decided to live with his adoptive father instead of her.

It had been awkward at the beginning and she had found herself with a lower position than she was before. Her new tasks were being mundane again, like going on runs, walkers killing duty, but she was mostly hunting.

This was something too, Rick encouraged people to reduce the use of guns to save bullets. Only for the patrols and emergency situations, he said…so Amelie had slowly learned to use a bow and arrows. Bullets were being spared too in Canada.

During that time and to her sheer annoyance, Negan still had his two wives and these ones were still bitching her anytime they could. She and the leader had been courteous to each other at best, but Amelie tried to avoid him as much as she could. It was hard as they kind of ''shared'' Theo, if she could use that term. Still, they often ate together and he insisted on her presence when he was going out to Alexandria or on runs.

Amelie had been proud of herself, she had managed to keep things cool between them and refrained from killing one of his wives. She had almost made it to April…she had only needed to be strong for another month…

The young woman blamed it on the hormones and adrenaline…the circumstances. They had been on a run, scavenging for more meds and other stuff, when it didn't turn exactly as planned. A herd had been near and they had to fight… For a reason or another, they ended up fighting as a pair…like a team and what a team they were.

When it was all over, when they were panting and covered in blood and gore, sore and tired, their eyes locked for a few, long seconds.

And it was all it took.

She never had such violent or good sex in her entire life. Not that her sex life had been really impressive or epic since Negan was the only man she had sex with, but…

They had practically ripped each other's clothes off, they bit, pushed, clawed… growled. It had only lasted a few minutes… but they did it against the walls, the floor, on an abandoned couch…After, They had lied on that old couch, sweaty, bloody and exhausted, breathing hard. Oh...he would remind her of that moment for the rest of her life, mocking her and taunting her endlessly...though it could be some weapon against the two bitches that were his wives.

Calmly and quietly, she had rose and dressed again before heading out of the room while attaching the belt holding her blades.

''What? You're just fucking leaving like that? Don't you have anything to say?''

Briefly, She halted and looked over her shoulder:'' This…never happened.''

And a month later, she was leaving for Canada again with her child after having avoided him for over three weeks. When, 5 months later, she had come back, he had welcomed her back into the Sanctuary wearing his cocky, satisfied smile. He didn't tease her directly; it was always a knowing stare thrown her way during the meals, or an eyebrows wriggle when they were on a run.

He had even asked her to come live with him again, tossing that question out of nowhere as they unloaded the truck, as if it was a normal thing.

'' So…as you asked me, and like the fucking awesome man that I am, I kept your place clean and ready for you…''

She silently looked at him, indicating to keep going as she raised a box and headed inside the factory, Negan in tow.

''…but that place is shitty…you'd be way better somewhere else…''

''I have nowhere else to go and I don't really mind that place.'' She said flatly.

The man gave her a pointed look: ''Are you sure you don't have any-fucking-where else to go? Huuumm?''

'' Absolutely.'' She grumbled as she deposed the box on a shelf.

The leader threw his hands in the air: ''Oh fucking hell! You actually want me to ask it!? You're so fucking stubborn all the time! '' He exclaimed, annoyed. ''Damn it: live with me; be with me. Your kiddo is there and it's way better! You don't even have a bathroom!''

She began to walk back to the truck: ''No.''

He let out a long suffering sigh: ''Why the fuck not?! Listen; it's all to your advantage…better beds, better place, bathroom…Theo's there…''

''…You are there as well, so no.''

Making an indignant noise, he placed his hand on his chest: ''Me!? You and I both fucking know that you don't hate me so much, if I remember well a little supply run we had tog—''

She covered his mouth with her palm: ''—That never happened. I made a mistake, okay?''

He pushed her arm down: ''Pfft! Mistake my ass: I know you better than anyone…you would not be here if you didn't have at least a little something for me in that cold, hard heart of yours.''

''You're delusional. ''

The man became serious and stared at her: ''Why not? Tell me the fuck why and be honest.''

She paused and looked up at him: ''What's the first rule for your wives?''

He made a face: ''The fuck does that have to do with us?''

''Answer.''

He rolled his eyes: ''To not cheat; to be devoted to me only.'' He mumbled flatly.

Nodding slowly, she asked: ''Why?''

''Why? What why!? I don't fucking share, that's why! '' He exclaimed.

The young woman stood on her toes and brought her face centimeters from his: '' You see, the thing is…I don't like to share either.''

And that had been, apparently, eye opening for the idiot. Did he really think it didn't bother the women he was with that he had more than one lover? He had just stood there dumbfounded and astonished as if she had just dropped on him every secret of the world.

The winter had quickly past; the Saviors' leader had tried more than once to convince her to be his again or to simply live with him…which she had refused. However, four months ago, in the middle of March, the man did something she never thought he would: he dumped his two wives. And she knew why he did it…because of a little incident in Alexandria after a meeting.

They had been called to Alexandria; Rick wanted all the leaders of each place present to discuss important matters. Surprisingly, Negan had requested her presence, saying her advice was always useful.

The reunion was held in the church, the benches had been placed to form a large circle. Ezekiel and two of his knights were present, representing the Kingdom. Gregory, Jesus and Maggie were there for Hilltop, Rick, Michonne and Daryl stood for Alexandria and finally it was She and Negan representing the Sanctuary. All the while Amelie could see Maggie glaring at the Saviors' leader with pure hatred in her eyes and she knew then that it would end badly. When it was over, that all had been discussed and every problem was mostly solved, they began to head out.

Negan was talking Rick's ears off as they traveled the streets, while this one was patiently listening. The young woman often glanced at Maggie and as she saw the pretty brunette determinedly walking at a rapid pace toward the man at her sides; she tensed, ready. She watched as Greene pulled out a small, sharp knife from her sleeve and swung toward the man's throat.

Jumping forth, the Canadian grabbed her wrist and used her own momentum to throw her away. Nimbly, Maggie rolled on the ground and turned, enraged; everyone around looked at them, surprised.

The younger woman placed herself in front of Negan, blocking the access to the brunette.

''What the fucking fuck!?'' This one exclaimed as he tried to walk toward her, but the girl extended an arm, keeping him from going toward Maggie.

'' You missed your chance Maggie; there is no point in trying again. The time for killing has past.'' Amelie said slowly.

There were now angry tears in the woman's eyes as she indicated Negan with her knife: ''He has to die!''

Rick try to speak: ''Maggie…I understand, but it's eno-'' he said, comprehending what had just occurred.

The brunette shook her head: ''-no! No you don't: he took everything from me! He killed the only person I had!'' She glared at Amelie and stepped forward: ''Move! ''

The Canadian shook her head and took a step as well: '' I know he's a cocky asshole-''

''-Hey!'' the black haired man protested.

She ignored him: ''-And he's annoying, but he's a great leader. I know he killed Glenn. I know he's done things…He always did what he did to keep his people safe, even though it might not have been the right way to do it…And now you want to kill him because he took all you had and believe me: I understand. But I won't let you…He is all I have. He's the only one who'll ever take care of my kid if something happens to me. He's the only one who'll come looking for me if one day I disappear. He's the only person who really cares for me here. So… Go away Maggie and try to forgive him; that's all I have to say because I won't let you hurt him.''

With a shriek of rage, the brunette lunged at her; the girl bent to escape the blade once, then twice before grabbing Maggie's wrist again in a tight grip.

''Enough!'' Rick shouted again, but both women were just glaring at each other, silent.

They weren't moving; Amelie was just holding the other woman's arm tightly. Suddenly, Maggie used her free hand to slap her; it sent the girl's head to her left, but otherwise, she didn't even stagger. There was a general gasp around them from their observers. Slowly, Amelie turned her head again, giving the brunette her harshest glare. This one, as if astonished by her own actions, stumbled backward. The Canadian advanced toward her, angry.

Rick had a worried expression and he stepped toward the women, but Negan placed a hand on his shoulder: '' If Amelie wanted to fucking hurt her, her blades would be out.''

All the girl did was to calmly walk to Maggie as this one recoiled, clearly afraid now. When she was close enough, she extended her hand, palm up. The brunette understood and gave her, her knife. Amelie put it in the back of her pant and headed toward Negan: ''Let's go home.''

*Two weeks after*

Amelie was reading on her bed at night, trying to relax herself before going to sleep. She heard someone climbing the stairs of the warehouse and just by the sound of the steps, the young woman knew it was Negan. Attempting to appear nonchalant, she kept her eyes on her book as he abruptly entered her home without even knocking.

'' I did it.'' He stated firmly, as if she was supposed to know what he was talking about.

she didn't even raise her head to him and drawled: ''What did you do exactly?''

He walked to her, crouched, grabbed her book and threw it away.

''Hey!'' She protested as he climbed over her on all four.

The young woman placed her hands and feet against hi torso: ''What the hell, Negan!?''

He stared down at her, serious: ''I'm not fucking joking.''

She groaned, pushing against him: ''I get it: you did something and you're really serious about it, but what did you do!?''

'' I dumped Jenny and Chloe.''

At first, Amelie was surprised, but tried to rapidly hide it and scoffed: ''Good for you: you've finally realized they are mean bitches?''

''No, I've realized that I fucking want you and only you. I don't need them if you're there.''

The girl eyed him suspiciously, slowly easing the pressure she was putting on his chest.

''I'm not sure if I believe you…And why did you come here to tell me that?''

He rolled his eyes: ''The fuck…What happened with that crazy bitch in Alexandria the other day—''

Taking a cocky expression she cut him off: ''—you mean when I saved your life, again.''

He filliped her on the ear: ''—Not that, even if I'm fucking happy you were watching things back there, it's what you said before…Were you honest?''

She raised a brow: ''…That you were an annoying, cocky, asshole? Yes, yes I was.''

The man let himself fall, face planting on her stomach: ''You're so fucking impossible…''

The young woman stopped joking: ''You know I was, Negan; I rarely lie. What about it?''

'' I-It's the same for me. You and Theo are my family…I know I've been a dick… And well…I would say I'm fucking sorry, but I'm not. I will try to be better. Will you be my wife?''

Xxxxxx

*14th of July 2018, late evening*

And all of these events brought them here, today. Amelie was in bed, reading again, Negan's head in her laps.

''Are you fucking done, now?'' he asked impatiently.

''One chapter.''

He huffed: ''You said that, like 50 pages ago!''

The young woman didn't answer and simply began to caress his hair.

''Oh…don't try to shut me up with your petting!''

She stopped, but he nudged his nose in her stomach: ''I didn't say to stop…'' he mumbled. She kept petting his hair backward he hummed contently before saying: '' You never answered me, you know…''

''About?''

''You fucking know.''

Amelie didn't respond and the man sighed: ''It's been over three months now…usually when a woman doesn't say ''yes'' it means ''no''.''

'' If I wanted to say no, I would have said no.''

He propped himself up on his elbows: ''Then why the fuck don't you say yes?''

She closed her book and placed it on the nightstand: '' I don't take this matter lightly. I know I haven't given you an answer…but I stayed here this summer to show you how seriously I'm taking the situation. I need time to think.''

Negan climbed a bit over her, wedging himself between her legs: ''To think about what? I dumped two women for you!''

She gave him a look: ''I'm worth more than these two.''

He chuckled and groaned into her neck, snaking his arms around her form: ''And she says I'm cocky…now, answer my question.''

'' I don't like the title ''wife''. Could we just say we're like…companions or partners? And to be honest Negan: you're evil. I'm being cautious with you.''

He laughed and bent to nip at her collarbones: ''Hum yes I am…but you already know that. And seriously? Companions, partners? You act like a religious great aunt presenting a gay couple or some this like that!''

The girl slid her hands over his broad back and continued: ''…And right now…you're happy with me… but what when you remember the time when you had five women at your beck and call? I told you: I'm not sharing you. '' She gripped his hair on the back of his head to raise his face a bit: ''…And I will chop off your balls if you ever cheat on me…or perhaps hunt down the bitch that thought she could have you when you were taken.'' She joked.

Chortling, he inserted his hand in her panties: ''Oh…and then I'm the one who's fucking evil? ''

She nodded and tightly circled his waist with her legs.

The Saviors' leader growled low in his throat; a sound that excited her even more: ''We'll fucking talk about it later…right now, I've more important things on my mind.''
