be peaceful;

Let him grow taller, she asked the gods. Let him know sixteen, and twenty, and fifty. Let him grow as tall as his father, and hold his own son in his arms. Please, please, please. ( closed roleplay account for maggie greene-rhee from the walking dead. )

maggie sat back on her hands, watching with full fascination as residents had begun to flock to the stage to sing. not a fan of crowds, she had decided to stay back and enjoy the picnic she had set up with carl and judith, the stage still in full view despite their distance from it. it was easier this way as she could avoid being bumped into and carl was able to keep his eye on judith. “ bet ya ten bucks that someone will end up singing a journey song. ” she grinned, gaze leaving the stage and settling on her friend.

Eyes widening, Wash couldn’t help but feel a little daunted by the ride in front of him. It was a little ironic that he, a literal space marine, should be disconcerted by heights, but then again, maybe that made it make even more sense. The point was, “– …Uh…that’s high.”

“ it really is. ” maggie frowned, glancing up at the ride. she wasn’t used to the whole festival thing, so the height of the ride was something of a shock to her as well. “ perhaps you should just stick to rides that aren’t so high ? ”

“they’re really good,” enid told maggie with a little smile on her face, “carl seems to always be walking judith around buying her toys. and she seems really happy here. i mean, not that she ever really knew what was happening back home…”

“ good. maybe she’ll be able to grow here and not ever have to worry about remembering the stuff going on back home. ” the less horror judith was subjected to, the better. the same applied to enid and carl was well, but maggie knew it was already too late for them. they had already seen too much. “ i’m really happy that you three found this place. ”

“Well for one, the fact that a lot of people just magically show up here? That’s weird. I wish I knew, but I’m about as clueless as the next person.”

“ yeah. i’m one of those people. ” she sighed, the stress only building despite her effort to keep things under control. “ --- thanks for the help, though. ”

“That’s what makes me worry. If they’re there preparing for war, what will they do without us? Hilltop needs you. Gregory is a grade A dickhead, but maybe Jesus can keep things under control. I hope.” His eyes fell to the ground, sighing quietly. “I hope everything is good. I’m so tired of being scared and angry all the time.” He sighed, rubbing his eyes. “I like them. Glenn would too. I’ll keep it a secret, but you should tell Enid. You’re basically her mom at this point, especially since Glenn basically adopted her.” He nodded his head, smiling softly at the thought of the baby. “You should come with me. Judith’s at the apartment, and I know she’d be ecstatic to see you.” He offered a small smile. “I… have a question, though.” He thought for a moment as to how he’d say this. “I like a girl, but I don’t know how to go about anything like that.”

the mention of gregory brought a slight frown to maggie’s lips. he wasn’t a threat, but he was a huge pain in the ass that was constantly trying to sell her out to negan or boss her around. although, with her now absent from hilltop, hopefully the old man would relax and leave everyone alone. “ jesus will take care of it. i know he will. -- and everyone else will be okay, too. we’ve overcome people much scarier than negan. ” maggie wouldn’t say she was scared of the baseball bat wielding psycho, she was just angry with him. she wanted revenge and wouldn’t stop until she -- or any other member of their group -- got it. “ you’ll be okay, carl. maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow. hell, maybe not for a few months, but ... eventually. until then, i’ll do anything i can to help you feel and sleep better. ” she was about to continue her little rant, but found herself stumbling over words when carl mentioned that glenn would’ve liked the names she had picked out. picking out names alone was not something that maggie thought she’d have to do, but here she was. “ yeah ? i’m glad. we never talked about names or anything before he ... -- ” breathe in, breathe out, “ -- died, so it’s kind of hard to get through. i’ll tell enid as soon as i can. i promise. hopefully she’ll like them as well. ”  the mention of judith being in town replaced any bittersweet feelings. after being the one to deliver her ( with carl’s help, of course ) maggie had been rather attached to the little girl. “ lead the way. we’ll walk and talk about this little crush of yours on the way. does she know you like her ? ”

at first, he didn’t get to see the woman’s face, but his eyes immediately darted toward her once the sound of her voice rang in his ears  –  albeit, lacking a certain distinct accent. “—- what in the actual hell?”

the words capture her attention, water spot forgotten as her gaze focuses on the man. she already knows they haven’t met, so his reaction is beyond confusing for her.  “ you alright there ? ”

“sorry ‘bout the shirt, but, hey, no one made you walk so close to me and my sponge.” a pause. don’t be a dick, dean. “—- you okay there?”

“ it’s fine. ” maggie shrugged, glancing down at the soapy spot on her shirt. she really needed to stop getting lost in her thoughts while walking. “ a little soap and water never killed anyone. ”

Letting go of Maggie, Carol checked her over quickly making sure she was physically fine. She never got a chance to talk to Maggie after learning about Glenn… and Carol wasn’t sure how to apologise without reminding Maggie of something she probably didn’t want to think about. It was probably better left behind closed doors anyway. “It’s.. normal? I mean.. I can’t really explain it. There’s no walkers. Most of these people don’t even know about them. It’s like the world just.. suddenly went back to what it was before. And people just keep coming here from different… ‘WORLD’. I know it sounds insane. It barely makes sense to me.” Nodding, Carol offered Maggie a tired smile of her own. “It’s okay. We’ll.. find out where you’re staying and you can have a rest. There’s doctors here. REAL doctors. We’ll figure it out.”

the loss of glenn and abraham had changed everything. people now seemed to walk on eggshells when maggie was around, casting sympathetic glances her way, and speaking in soft tones that were reserved for the breaking of bad news. she understood why they did it, but it got tiring. yes, she was so heartbroken that sometimes it physically hurt, but she was not broken. she was not someone that required delicate hands and hushed voices to take care of her. so, when carol didn’t bring the subject of glenn up, like most did when speaking to her, maggie was thankful. “ seems like something out of a dream, ” she sighed, glancing around at their surroundings. it all felt so ... wrong. not only because of how normal everything seemed, but because if this truly was some safe haven, then the rest of their people should’ve been there. “ i .. don’t know what to say. i thought walkers were weird, but ... this place takes the cake. ” different worlds ? no walkers ? she couldn’t wrap her mind around it. “ i have a key, actually. woke up with it, so maybe it’s to one of the places around here ? ” she paused to fish the key out of her pocket, holding it up to reveal the ‘616′ on the side of it, but soon found her attention captured at the mention of doctors. “ --- really ? ” maybe, just maybe, that would give her and her child a chance at making it out alive at the end.

“You can’t judge a book by it’s cover.” Mulder’s shoulders raised and lowered in a small shrug, as if his answer were sufficient enough. In truth, there was so much mystery surrounding Magnolia the chances of it containing anything good appeared to be far fetched. “You’re an optimist, aren’t you?” Sarcasm dripped from the agent’s lips. “I can’t say that isn’t a plausible theory though.”

“ just did. ” given her history, maggie couldn’t help herself. she was far too used to thinking somewhere was safe then having the truth revealed as her loved ones were killed by whoever occupied said safe place. this time she was determined not to be blinded by anything or anyone.  “ so, you kind of agree. guess that puts you in the optimistic category with me. ”

Furrowing her eyebrows together, Kara just awkwardly adjusted her glasses and made a face. “Er..hopefully it never actually ends up like that, but this place isn’t perfect.”

“ oh, yeah ? what isn’t so perfect about it ? what secret is this town hiding ? ”

Emma, overhearing this, paused. “Oh, GOD.” Her blood runs cold at the thought, suddenly doubting her decision to move to Magnolia. What if it doesn’t end? What if her nightmare has just begun? “I don’t think I can handle this.”

maggie remained silent as the other spoke, a slight feeling of guilt hitting her. she truly hadn’t meant to freak anyone out. she had just been rambling. “ it’s only a thought. even if i’m suspicious, i’m sure this place is safe. ” she lied in hopes of getting the other woman to calm down.

′ maggie. ′ beth muttered, arms dropping from around herself when she saw her sister start to cry. she was sure she had known what maggie went through in a short amount of time. at least, she knew what carl had told her. though, when she felt her sister hug her, she didn’t waste a second. beth’s arms were around maggie and she had a small smile on her face. it was probably there for the same reason her sister was crying, they had each other again. ′ i don’t know. ′ she muttered, looking up at her sister. ′ i just woke up in the middle of nowhere and started walking. i made it back to the farm but it was gone. ′ her smile slowly faded. ′ some people said this was a good place to start over so this is where i came. ′ beth let out a shaky breath as she reached her hands up, resting them on maggie’s forearms. ′ i know. nothin’ really makes sense but ‘m here.′

maggie let out a shaky breath as beth began to explain how she had come to be in magnolia. much like her sister, she had also woken up in some unknown place, but that place turned out to be magnolia, so maggie didn’t need to travel as far. “ i’m not sure if anyone told you yet, but the farm burned down a few years ago. ” she hadn’t thought about their home in a long, long time, so it was nothing short of surprising to hear that beth had traveled all the way back there. relaxing a little as her sister settled her hands on her forearms, maggie gave a teary-eyed smile. having beth back filled her with such intense joy that she swore she could pass out at any given moment. during the apocalypse, she had grown used to being miserable and broken. it was hard not to feel such a way when you were losing your loved ones left and right; most of them murdered instead of caught by walkers, which made things just that much harder. “ i just ... -- god, i missed you. every single second of every single day. ” not a minute went by where maggie didn’t miss or mourn her sister. beth had deserved so much better than the hand she had been dealt. “ --- and beth ? i’m sorry about what happened. i’m sorry for not being there to protect you. ”

“It’s okay, Maggie. Not your fault. I.. know we’re safe in this town, but I don’t feel safe. I feel like it’s all a facade, you know? Like at any moment someone will pull back the curtains and we’ll be surrounded by walkers. And then I don’t feel safe because I don’t know what’s going on at home. I’ve been having nightmares.” He admitted, sighing quietly. “That’s good, though. Have you thought of names?”

maggie, fully aware of the fact that only negan was to blame for what happened, still often felt responsible for everything. had it not been for her, then rick and carl and a few others never would have been outside that night. they never would have run into and been captured by the saviors. deciding not to respond to the first half of his comment, maggie gave a quick nod of her head. “ after all the places that we’ve been deceived by, i can’t say i blame you. ” every single place the group had come by had proved to be nothing more than a temporary safe haven; it either turned out to be harboring some dark secret or it fell at the hands of someone with bad intentions. “ as far as i know, things are going okay back home. your father and ezekiel are preparing the others for war. ” because there was no way negan was going to take the kingdoms, hilltops, and alexandria’s hit while laying on his back. whatever was coming was going to be huge, so they needed to be prepared. “ --- but everything is good for now. ” here came the forced smile, “ i have a few in mind. you’re actually the first to know, but i’ve been thinking beth for a girl and hershel for a boy. ”

beth wanted to cry. the small smile on her face fell at her sister’s words. it broke her heart, even more, hearing the words from maggie than it did hearing them from carl. she shook her head, half tempted to step forward but stayed in her place. ′ i know. ′ her hand reached up and touched at her forehead, something she still did from time to time out of habit. dropping them to cross over herself tightly. ′ carl told me that. ′ she took a deep breath, it hurt to see someone like this. beth sighed lightly before shaking her head. ′ i’m real, maggie, a hundred and fifty percent real. i swear. ′

with the shock of seeing beth again and all the extra hormones her body was currently producing, it hardly came as a surprise when maggie began to cry. the loss of her sister had shattered her whole world. she had been forced to make peace with the idea of losing beth twice, so to have her suddenly show up was something of a punch to the gut. of course, she was still slightly convinced that the girl was nothing more than a hallucination, but she needed to take her chances. without much of a warning, maggie stepped forward and pulled her sister into a tight hug, careful not to put too much pressure on her lower abdomen. “ --- how ? ” she asked, voice slightly muffled by the other’s shoulder. “ i -- i saw your body. i was there when they buried you. ” she pulled back, shaky hands settling on the blonde’s shoulders as if she was afraid beth would vanish the moment she let go of her. “ this doesn’t make sense. ”
