"No, she wouldn't have," "I'm- glad you were able to read her diary before... Well, before I did what I did," "I'm sorry..."
"Hey, hey...," Ingrid crouched to match Negan's lowered face as it was covered with tears of remorse, cupping his chin with her hands. It was important for him to be expressive, but his actions had already been forgiven before he could say a word. Ingrid's thumbs moved to wipe away the tears, her glistening eyes looking into his with forgiveness, "She may be gone, but no matter what, she's here. She's always been here," Ingrid removed one of her hands and placed it over her chest where her heart resided, "The least we can do is live our lives in her memory. And she would want us to survive and thrive. Together." Ingrid nodded in assurance, "I didn't honor you in the way that she would want me to. I disrespected you and belittled you. Never again." Ingrid promised. Yes, their relationship came with a specific arrangement due to the given circumstances. But to Ingrid and Negan, she knew that they would always hold a special connection to Lucille that they would honor in the most brotherly and sisterly way they possibly could.

"She may be gone, but no matter what, she's here. She's always been here,""The least we can do is live our lives in her memory. And she would want us to survive and thrive. Together."
Negan replied with a shaky nod, looking back up at her as she wiped away his tears with her thumbs. At this moment, she reminded him a lot of her sister Lucille, his wife. She had been just as forgiving, for things others might not have; Like in this old song that she had been used to listening like it was her own theme. Stand by your man. And so she had, until the end.
"I didn't honor you in the way that she would want me to. I disrespected you and belittled you. Never again."
Negan sniffed away some more tears before his features turned more controlled again, his posture more stable. Yet, instead of going into answering her promise with one of his own, he decided to pick up the thread from before to start the conversation they actually should have had when she entered his room with that diary in her hand. "How far have you read?" Negan asked just neutrally, in his tone no hint of anger or any other negative emotion.

"How far have you read?"
Ingrid let out a nasally sigh as she looked at Negan, her eyes filled with emotion and empathy. It wasn't out of anger or annoyance, but she knew this day would come. The day where they would have no choice but to lay all of the feelings and thoughts they both had bottled up for so long and stored into the back of their minds so that they wouldn't have to deal with any of it. Now, Ingrid saw the price that they paid for such actions. And she wasn't going to let that happen ever again, "Far enough to know that you truly loved her. That my family was so, so wrong. That...," Ingrid stammered at the next sentence, unsure if she should say it out loud. It had been a secret that Lucille had literally carried to her grave, and Ingrid wasn't so sure if she was supposed to even know. But more than anything, she wanted to be transparent about what she knew, "...You both were going to have a baby. Negan, I'm so sorry. I don't know what kind of God would allow any of this to happen, the baby not making it, Lucy dying the horrible way she did, this zombie riddled world - if there is a God even. But if there is, and if there's such a place like heaven existing, you know Lucy is up there with your little one. Looking over you. Over us." Tears began to stream down Ingrid's face again as her heart swelled in her chest while talking to Negan.

Negan could tell how far, could sense his sister's nervosity that was at least as intense as his own. But just like her, he felt that they needed to talk it out, that they had to be transparent towards each other for once. Only then, they both could carry on. Together, and not each on their way like before.
"Far enough to know that you truly loved her. That my family was so, so wrong. That...,"
Negan bid his lip at the third that, knowing what was to come. But it had been him starting this, after all.
"...You both were going to have a baby. Negan, I'm so sorry."
And when she went on, he was surprised at how able he was to allow this topic to be talked out. It seemed that time was able to heal any wound indeed. Or maybe it had just happened too much that changed him into a different man. It still hurt hearing it, even more so from Lucille's sister, from their unborn namesake, but, this time, he could suppress more tears at least.
"I don't know what kind of God would allow any of this to happen, the baby not making it, Lucy dying the horrible way she did, this zombie riddled world - if there is a God even. But if there is, and if there's such a place like heaven existing, you know Lucy is up there with your little one. Looking over you. Over us."
But then, as new tears streamed down Ingrid's face, Negan felt not so strong anymore, sniffing his own away though, and, instead, walked closer towards her once again to now be the one who wiped off hers. "Don't take it amiss on her that she didn't tell you, that she couldn't give you that call she'd been trying to do almost every night." Negan never had gotten the chance to read what his wife wrote down in that diary but he knew what she probably would have and why she had been starting it in the first place. There was one information, however, that he was unsure if she had written it down. But Negan felt that her sister should know. With a slight smile, a bit hurt but honest, he added: "Our girl was supposed to be named Ingrid, you know. It was Lucille's greatest wish, and who would I've been to say no to that, despite my former opinion about your family."

"Our girl was supposed to be named Ingrid, you know. It was Lucille's greatest wish, and who would I've been to say no to that, despite my former opinion about your family."
Ingrid had been aware, she swore to have read that diary from back to front again and again. She nodded silently in confirmation as she addressed Negan's heartwarming statement, "I am touched to know that I made an impact on Lucy's life, even if it wasn't all roses and rainbows - but who's life is anyway?" Ingrid smiled through her tears. She had been so wrapped up in the reunion that she had completely forgotten about the present and what had just went down. Her smile faded slightly as she addressed Negan again, "What's going to happen...to them?" Ingrid asked, feeling slightly panicked, "It's true what I said before. Rick Grimes saved my life. We are together again, a family, because of him." No matter what it would take, Ingrid would advocate for her friends no matter what.

"I am touched to know that I made an impact on Lucy's life, even if it wasn't all roses and rainbows - but who's life is anyway?"
"True," Negan replied her statement with no more than a whisper, still fighting some more tears back, not because he'd be ashamed of them but because he felt like the emotional part had to come to an end. They had to go on. And it was that thought that reminded him of the present and the current situation with Rick and the others. And as if Ingrid could have read his thoughts, she changed the topic to just that not long after.
"What's going to happen...to them?""It's true what I said before. Rick Grimes saved my life. We are together again, a family, because of him."
Negan's features hardened a bit, in his usual way, in his business way. Because that was what this was to him, business. Nothing personally like it obviously was for his sister-in-law. "They gotta prove themselves," he said, now completely emotionless. Negan surely won't alter the rules for them only because Ingrid had gone some miles with them. Becoming family was not as easy as she made it sound, at least not for him. Also, he wasn't even seeing everyone around the Sanctuary as family, maybe not even a handful of people.

"They gotta prove themselves,"
Ingrid wanted to protest, yet it was her outspokenness that had been the spark that made their relationship burst up into flames in the first place. They were family, and yet even family members in business together need to understand where their place was set. Ingrid had to take a step back mentally, growing silent for a brief second before nodding her head, "I understand," Ingrid admitted submissively, her gaze diverted towards the ground as her head bobbed up and down in agreement, "I am sure the same goes for myself, I mean, I am greatly indebted to you for accepting me back with open arms. But I understand that I will have to do what it takes to build that trust again between us." Ingrid said, knowing she had zero room to screw up again.

"I understand,"
Negan didn't allow the sharp silence and Ingrid's hurt feelings within get to him. He had to. Rick and his group were business to him, and business only. Not family. And there Ingrid made a false conclusion, as she proved with her next words.
"I am sure the same goes for myself, I mean, I am greatly indebted to you for accepting me back with open arms. But I understand that I will have to do what it takes to build that trust again between us."
"No. The same doesn't go for you, Ingrid," Negan said a bit more softly, although nothing like before. "You are family. They are strangers. You have proved your loyalty long ago. Between us, it's about forgiveness." He was not a man without a heart, and Ingrid of all people should know that.

"No. The same doesn't go for you, Ingrid," "You are family. They are strangers. You have proved your loyalty long ago. Between us, it's about forgiveness."
Ingrid nodded in agreement, remembering the kind heart that still remained under the layers of strict structure and brutish punishments. It would take them a while to get back to where they stood before, and Ingrid knew that all too well. Though, she was thankful of all the trouble Negan and Nora had to go through in order to find her. She suddenly chuckled half heartedly, cutting through the tense moment and bringing softness back into the space, "I've gotta admit - I've been lost and on the road for so long that I'm feeling just a little uncivilized. I'm looking forward to being home again. With you, and Nora - and everyone." Ingrid never felt more gratitude for her Savior family than she did now.

Negan felt the tension falling a bit when Ingrid let out a soft chuckle after some more minutes of silence between them. He was glad that they were able to forgive, still, after all this time. And also that they were able to still smile.
"I've gotta admit - I've been lost and on the road for so long that I'm feeling just a little uncivilized. I'm looking forward to being home again. With you, and Nora - and everyone."
"Yeah, you're really in need of a shower," Negan teased her with a soft chuckle of his own. She was able to get his humor and to take a joke. And she also would be able to read the kindness behind those words, in his gaze. Hell, Negan was so relieved to have her back. For a while, he hadn't been sure if she was still breathing even.

"Yeah, you're really in need of a shower,"
"Do I seriously stink that bad?" Ingrid inquired, before lifting a single arm to take in a brief sniff. Of course, she needed a proper shower. But she also was playing along with the jabbing of her brother in law that she knew too well. She nodded silently in agreement as she came to with the facts. The corner of her mouth crept up into a tight yet playful smirk as she held his gaze, "I've missed the showers at home. Hell, I've missed everything about home...So if returning myself to my rightful, cleanliness state is key, then of course we must head home right away. Don't want me stinking up the entire quadrant," Ingrid chuckled half heartedly, before getting a good grasp on her heart as well. Roger..., "Did he ever ask about me? Talk about me? ... Roger?" Ingrid stuttered as she tried to spit out his name. Of course Negan of all people would know which she was talking about. He had infatuated every inch of her senses, and could spell out every need in which she desired. Know every inch of her skin...yet that was also a detail Negan would not know much about. If he had moved on by now, she would understand.

They shared another laughter as they went on joking rather than pitying their past. Anyways, when Ingrid's features turned more serious again, almost fearful in a way, his did as well.
"Did he ever ask about me? Talk about me? ... Roger?"
"You know people do not exactly reach out to me personally very often," Negan stated truthfully. Especially not the younger, he added only in mind. But when he realized that might not at all be a satisfying answer to Ingrid, he went on just as truthfully. "But sometimes the eye talks more than the mouth. I've seen his worries and noticed the change in his mood. Don't throw a chance overboard yet," he added with a wink then. Negan might not be aware of a thing between them, but he was able to interpret a question like that.

"But sometimes the eye talks more than the mouth. I've seen his worries and noticed the change in his mood. Don't throw a chance overboard yet,"
"Right," Ingrid nodded, thankful for any kind of update even if it was just an observation, "Well," She exhaled into a yawn which she was quick to cover with her palm, exhaustion of the most recent events seeming to finally catch up to her body, "I think it's about time we bring this crazy day to an end. Let's go find our friend." Ingrid grinned as the two of them exited the apartment.
*** Ingrid and Negan exited ***
