2 months later:

Melanie eventually opened up to Rick and Michonne about everything - that happened in her relationship with Negan, she had more to tell than just when he locked her up in the bedroom for a week.

Melanie was sitting on the sofa, feeding Charity, watching Ford and Sarah play. Harlan just came back from doing a checkup on Enid, she was currently 18 weeks along and was always coming over and talking to Melanie and Maggie, anyone who had a baby really asking questions.

End hugged Melanie and smiled. "Thank you. I'm sorry I'm annoying." she frowned slightly.

"You're not annoying. I'm glad to help." She smiled hugging her. "It's a different experience having a baby of your own instead of taking care of someone else's."

Enid nodded. "Thank you Mel." she smiled. "I hope I just do good." She sighed getting up.

"You will." Melanie said getting up and walking her out. "I'll see you at dinner tomorrow."

"Are you bringing your new man?" Enid teased - nobody knew Melanie and Harlan were together.

"Not tomorrow." she smiled. "Some other time. He's pretty tired."

"Oh okay.." Enid sighed and smiled. "Can't wait." She said leaving.

Melanie smiled." Goodnight Enid."

"Night Mel."

Melanie shut the door and walked back into the living room and sat on the couch. Harlan came in and sat with her. "She's doing good." He smiled.

"I'm glad." Melanie smiled leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Thinking of eating some of that fish tonight that Daryl brought over."

"That would be good." Melanie smiled.

"I'll get it started." Harlan smiled kissing her and going into the kitchen.

Melanie placed Charity on the floor with her brother and sister, she went outside and talked to Maggie while Harlan cooked supper.

Melanie came back in a while later, and the table was set and the kids were at the table. She walked over and sat at the table. "Nice to be using the table more regularly."

"I agree." He smiled placing the green beans and corn on the table, then grabbed the fish and put it down.

The smell of the fish overwhelmed Melanie. She looked pale and she said and ran to the bathroom and threw up.

Harlan watched her, and let the kids have their veggies. "I'll be back." He said going into the bathroom and rubbed her back. "Feeling okay?"

"The smell of the fish. Nope. Can't do it." she said rinsing her mouth.

"The smell.." Harlan looked at her. "You're ..."

"Pregnant….Harlan.." Melanie stopped looking up at him.

"It's okay." He sighed.

"Harlan." She grabbed his hand, turning to him. "We can make for sure…" She looked up at him.

"I'll do an ultrasound, make an excuse to need to go to the medical trailer." He rubbed her back.

Melanie nodded as he left the room, she came out a few minutes later and saw Michonne over. Melanie was limping.

"What happened?" She asked sitting down with the kids.

"My dumbass tripped." Melanie sighed as she got help from Harlan. "He wants to really look at my foot in the trailer to make sure nothing is wrong with it."

"Alright. Well. I hope it isn't." Michonne smiled.

"Me either." Melanie smiled slightly and left with him.

Melanie limped until she got inside then walked to the exam room with him as he shut the main door and got the ultrasound machine.

Melanie sat down on the table, and waited.

Harlan came over and had her lay back. Melanie undid her jeans and pushed them down a bit to expose her lower abdomen. Harlan started pressing softly, and feeling. "I'll try the external one first." He said knowing she hated the other one.

"Alright." Melanie laid back and watched him as he put the gel on her stomach, and pressed the transductor on her stomach and looked at the montor. "Have you drank a lot today?"

"Close to a half gallon." She looked at the monitor and didn't see anything.

Harlan nodded, "I'm not getting anything."

"You want to do the other?" She sighed. "Go ahead."

"I can try. I'll make it quick." He said cleaning the gel off her stomach.

"Alright." She pushed her jeans off after and got covered with the drape. She scooted down to the end of the table. Harlan put her feets in the stirrups. She scooted down a bit more and let her legs fall apart.

"Gonna feel some pressure." He said after putting on some gloves, and grabbed the transductor and let her do it. He took over and pressed slightly.

"Damn it." She groaned feeling it more, pressing against her cervix. Harlan put his other hand on her stomach and pressed a bit.

"Deep breaths, it's okay, hun." He said looking at the monitor.

Melanie breathed and sighed, looking at the monitor.

Harlan kept pressing and moving the wand. He was really studying the ultrasound. "Multiples run in the family?"

"I…..I don't think so - Why?" She asked trying to see.

"There are two babies." Harlan said moving the monitor for her to see. "You're about… 10 weeks along."

Melanie just looked at the monitor. "So it's…." She couldn't finish the sentence.

"Our baby." Harlan smiled softly, claiming it.

Melanie laid her head back hard against the table. "Thank goodness." She wiped her eyes and smiled, she knew it was 50/50 on if it was Negan's or Harlan's. She felt Harlan's hand let go of her stomach and make its way to hers and held it. She relaxed more. "Are you ready for this?"

"I will be." He smiled, standing up and kissed her.

Melanie smiled and kissed him more. Harlan helped her clean up and she got redressed, and walked back to the house with him.

They decided to keep it to themselves for a while anyway.
