Negan had nodded off and was snoring loudly, which only happened when he was exhausted. I kissed his cheek and went to his room, grabbing a bag and began packing it. I also grabbed some canned food from the pantry. I grabbed one of the kitchen knives for a weapon, since I didn't have much of a choice and quickly headed out, putting the hood of my jacket up.

The guy guarding Negan's door was fast asleep and I snatched his gun and radio. Maybe I could get a hold of Eugene. Keys! He had keys on his belt buckle and I grabbed them. I walked out to the yard where there were a lot of bikes. Fuck I didn't have time for this, and it'd be too loud. I looked around and there was no one on watch, which seemed odd.

There was a lock on the gate and a unique looking key so I decided to give that a shot and holy shit, it actually worked! I was free, fucking free! I ran through the woods in the dark, knowing exactly where I needed to go, which was going to take me a few hours. I could technically stop at The Hilltop to rest, since they were closer, but I would see how I felt.

About an hour had passed and I stopped to get some water and try the radio. "Eugene, are you there? It's Harper! I got out, please respond!" I yelped and got nothing back but static. I leaned up against a tree and sighed. "Hello?" My heart began racing, no fucking way! "Eugene?" I yelled as tears streamed down my face. "Oh my God, can you grab Daryl?" "Yes, just give me a sec!"

A few walkers came, attracted to the noise and I quickly took them out. I climbed up a tree to keep away from them. "Harper?" It was Daryl's voice! "Daryl, I broke out! I'm by the hilltop!" I could hear yelling in the distance. "Let us meet you there!" "Fuck, they're coming after me. I wanted to tell you that I love you and I'm pregnant!" "Holy shit! I-I'm so happy Harp, I love you too-" "I gotta go!" I jumped down.

"Come on, girly! You thought you could get away that easily?" It was Simon. They must have used cars to catch up to me. "Harper, please come back! The wives told me why you were crying!" I continued running and turned back to see how close they were and no longer felt the ground beneath my feet. "Fuck!" I yelled as I tumbled and felt a sharp pain in my stomach. Oh God, my stomach! I panicked, looking down and running my hands across my abdomen. I had been impaled by a stick. "No!" I screamed bloody murder. "Bunny? Where the fuck are you? Holy fuck! Baby, what happened? Shit, we need to get to the fucking Hill top right the fuck now!"

He picked me up as I continued crying. "You're going to be ok, bunny. You're going to be ok." He even sounded worried, which was bad since he was always so confident. "Fuck, you gotta stay awake, baby!" Everything went black.

I slowly opened my eyes, had I died? Things came into focus and Negan and Daryl were asleep in the chairs. "Harper?" I looked over at the doctor. "Is-is the baby ok?" "I'm so sorry. There was nothing I could do." He lowered his head as I began to cry uncontrollably. Why did I feel so heart-broken? I didn't want the baby. I just felt so sad and empty.

"Daryl?" I whimpered as his eyes opened. "Harper!" He had tears at the brim of his eyes as he embraced me. "I'm sorry Daryl, I-I-" "It's not your fault Harp. I'm just glad you're ok." He kissed my forehead. "Negan, he saved you." I looked over at him as he was trying to sneak out. "Negan, thank you. If you hadn't come after me, I'd probably be dead." "It's no big deal, bunny…I-I mean, Harper." He smiled awkwardly and brushed his unkempt hair back with his hand. "Thank you." Daryl said and Negan left.

Daryl kissed my lips as he began crying, "I was so worried about you and missed you so much. I love you." He said as he rested his forehead on mine. "I love you too, Daryl." I whispered, wondering where Negan had gone off to. "Daryl, I hate to break this up, but she really needs rest." Daryl nodded his head, giving me one last kiss and I, yet again began to cry.

"You have to be on bed rest for almost a month, you were lucky. That stick missed your major organs." He handed me a box of tissue. "Thank you, doctor…" "Carson." He smiled at me. "Wait, do you have a brother?" He nodded his head. "He works at The Sanctuary, he's a wonderful doctor!" "That's what Negan was telling me. Said I can go and visit him anytime. Now, you get some rest."

I didn't think I'd be able to sleep, but I did and for almost three days. I had reunited with everyone, which was great and Eric and Aaron were with me catching me up on the news of Alexandria. I smiled at them and Negan had walked in, "Fuck…I mean, shit…God dammit!" He began to back out, "Wait, Negan!" I said, "Can you give us a moment?" "Of course." Aaron smiled at me as Negan sat at the end of my bed. "You look great, bunny." He said looking around. "Thank you." I smiled at him feeling all warm and tingly.

"I decided you can go back with your group and we worked out your crazy deal." He looked down smiling. "Don't worry, I won't be raising hell on you guys. And you're right, they're one hell of a group…and that Daryl guy isn't too fucking bad as well as Rick, who is no longer a prick." He looked out the window, the sun making his eyes an amber brown. "You'll only have to see me every once in a while, I'll be out of your fucking life." No! Harper, say something! I opened my mouth, "Negan, I-" Daryl rushed in, with flowers in hand, "See you around, Harper." Negan got up and walked past Daryl, not even looking at me. I couldn't do anything at the moment, and boy did it suck.

A month had passed and I was finally on my feet again, which felt great. I had just stepped foot in Alexandria and was happy to be back, but still missed Negan. "Welcome home!" Daryl said as we entered our home, nothing had changed. "Thank you, Daryl!" I said as I pecked him on the lips. "I can't wait to get back into the swing of things." "Maggie and Glen invited us over for dinner, told em' it'd be up to you though." He said as we walked upstairs. "That sounds great to me." I said running my hands over my old clothes. "Ok, I'll let 'em know." I smiled at him and decided to shower.

I looked in the mirror at the freshly healed scar on my stomach. I was a fucking scarred mess. I got dressed and made a quick chocolate pie. "We're on for 5!" He said wrapping his arm around my waist and kissing my cheek, "Great!" I smiled.

We sat at the tablet with a very pregnant Maggie and Glen. It was actually just what I needed, they were such a fun couple and I was glad to have them in my life. After dinner I was helping Maggie serve up desert. "So, is it great to be back with Daryl?" She asked grabbing some forks, "Y-yeah." I said biting my lip. "What's on your mind?" She looked at me concerned. "I love Daryl, but I still have feelings for Negan…" "Well, since he was your first everything then I'm sure he'll always be special to you, but it doesn't mean you have to be with him forever." I looked over at her, smiling, "That's true."

I hoped that I would get over Negan. Having him in the picture made things too complicated. Daryl and I got ready for bed and I cuddled up next to him, "Have a good time?" He asked rubbing my shoulder. "Yeah, you?" "Mhm, glad we went…so it's been a while-" "I'm not in the mood, Daryl. I'm really tired." I turned my back to him and heard him sigh, "Alright, night."

I woke up the next morning and shuffled down stairs and there was an abrupt knock on the door, "Morning." It was Rick, "Hey, what's going on? Come in." I said as he entered and I began brewing coffee. "I came to ask you a favor." He rubbed his arm, "Ok? Want a cup?" He shook his head, "No thanks, this will be short." "Lay it on me, chief." I said as Daryl walked down stairs. "Hey Rick, morning." He kissed me on the cheek as I handed him a cup of joe.

"The Sanctuary is short on medical staff and I was hoping that you could go over there for a few weeks, maybe months?" I nearly spat out my coffee, "Wh-what?" "I know it's crazy, but they could really use you Harper." I looked over at Daryl, "It would suck to have you gone, but I could visit. Negan saved you, Harp." He rubbed my back, "Ok, when do I leave?" My heart began racing, the thought of seeing Negan excited me. "Today, in a few hours? I'll let Negan know and he'll pick you up. Thank you, Harper. I know this will be hard on you two, but it's only temporary." "You're welcome, bye Rick." I opened the door as he smiled and strolled out. "Are you sure this ok?" I faced Daryl, "Yeah. It has to be done, I'll miss you though." He kissed me on the forehead. "I'll miss you too. I better pack."

I stood there with Daryl by my side and watched as a truck pulled up. Would Negan be there? I hope so. "Ready to go?" Dwight asked as he rolled his window down, "Yup, bye guys! Bye Daryl, I love you." I kissed him and left. I felt like this trip would only put more of a strain on mine and Daryl's relationship.
