Later that day, after Harlan went over things with Rick and Maggie. He was back at the trailer checking on Melanie.

"So doc - You know my story, what's yours?" Melanie smiled watching him.

"Well. Not much really, I worked ER for 8 years. Then I moved to OB and was in that field for 10 years It was just nice to change it up." He smiled slightly. "How long have you known you are pregnant? I felt the fetal movement when you were here the first time - when i did an assessment for other internal injuries."

"Oh.. well, about a month. - I figured it out. Haven't shared that with Negan either." She sighed. "Not my first time in the pregnancy rodeo either. My boy is 3 years old. Was born during the first winter." She smiled slightly. "That was interesting."

"Difficult?" He asked handing her a cup of tea.

"Yes and no. Everything went fine - It was just odd having Negan being the one delivering the baby." She laughed slightly. "He was a total dick, but I was used to it. I didn't expect him to step up and be a dad - but he has. He's a good dad. Shitty human otherwise - but a good dad."

"That must of been interesting." Harlan said cleaning the equipment.

"Yeah, we managed to make a camp - just us three plus 15 others.. Lucille was getting sicker, and without cancer treatment, she wasn't going to last long, having pneumonia on top of everything… She was a good lady." She smiled slightly. "More of a mom to me than my own. She saved my ass so many times when I was in trouble."

"I'm sorry about your loss." Harlan said placing a hand on hers.

"Life is full of disappointment. I'm used to it." She laid her head back, "Never though I'd have two kids by 20. Never pictured myself as a mom before - now i enjoy it - well as much as i can."

" Glad you enjoy it." He chuckled slightly. " But would you like an ultrasound to see how far along you are?" He offered.

"Really?" Melanie asked looking over at him.

"Of course. Let me get it around." He answered smiling softly. Harlan got up and gathered everything he needed, and came over. "Going to be cold some." He said putting the gel on her stomach, and turned on the monitor. He moved the wand around and looked, turned the screen in her direction.

Melanie looked over and smiled slightly, watching. "Anything?"

"You are about…..15 weeks." He said taking measurements. "Everything looks great. Too early to tell the gender." He smiled watching the monitor and laughed. "Not that he'd stay still anyway." He messed with a button on the machine and listened to the heart beat. "Healthy baby."

"I wouldn't want to know anyway." She smiled slightly, and listened, for a bit. "Thats amazing. Thank you."

He nodded and printed it off for her, handing it to her. "You're welcome. You should get some rest now though." He put the machine away and grabbed her a blanket.

"Doc?" Mel smiled slightly. "Can you get Rick in here when I wake? He should probably know."

"Of course. He'll be here when you wake." Harlan promised, shutting the shade, "Just rest." He smiled and walked into his office and looked over his supplies.

Rick looked up seeing Harlan come over right before supper time. "Shes awake and needs to speak with you." Harlan told him. "She's doing much better now."

Rick nodded and followed him into the trailer. "Thank you for taking care of her, Harlan. Glad she's able to pull through."

"Anytime Rick - I'll leave you to alone- I'm off to check on Maggie." Harlan announced turning around, grabbing his bag and going back out the trailer to track down Maggie.

Melanie smiled looking up at Rick. "Hey." She said sitting up and adjusting herself. "Thanks for visiting."

"Anytime. Glad you are doing better. You scared the shit out of me." He smiled slightly.

"Well, there are two things we need to talk about." Melanie stopped biting her lip and adjusting her blanket. "I had - have , a three year old son back at the Saviors camp…" She said glancing up at her uncle. "His name is Ford after my dad.."

Rick sat back and rubbed his face, "Who's his dad?" He exhaled.

"Negan… It was a stupid fling I had with him, during the first few months of the beginning of hell going down." Melanie sighed. "I'm also… uhm….expecting again." She announced handing him the sonogram printout.

Rick took it and looked at it. "Dammit, Melanie." He groaned rubbing his head, a headache was starting to form. "Why would you procreate with him?"

"I was bored?" She said smirking slightly, and let out a small laugh, she was really kidding though. "Lack of birth control."

"Condoms?" Rick said leaning in at her.

"I know they are in endless supply but it didn't happen at the time. "She retorted sarcastically. He used them with the others - but well, kind of went on the slide when it came to me." She shrugged. "Sorry."

Rick shook his head and sat back. "Well we can't let you go back now." He frowned.

"Did you not hear me?" She snapped looking up at him and sitting up and nearly jumped off the table. " I have a son back at camp! Would you leave your children?" She frowned.

Rick rubbed his eyes and scoffed. "No…"

"Then I refuse to leave my boy there!" She shook her head back.

"I don't need to lose anyone else to childbirth." He frowned. "That's what happened to Lori, when she had our girl Judith." He reached out for her hand and took it. "I will not lose anymore family."

"You won;t. I will make it work." She smiled softly, and stood up gripping onto his hand. "Sorry need my land legs." She let out a giggle.

Rick flashed a soft smile back, "Want to go see Maggie?"

"Yes please."
