Melanie woke up a bit later in the back of the truck feeling a lot of pain, she groaned.

Rick was driving, Michonne was with him. Daryl and Carol in another vehicle, and Maggie with Rick and them. Negan was lying unconscious on the other side of the back of the truck.

Negan groaned over in the corner, he was starting to wake up. He could hear Melanie groaning out in pain. He rolled over, he had a patch on his shoulder. "Mel." He groaned and started crawling to her..

"Negan." Melanie cried.

"Stay away from her" Michonne said raising her katana and pointing it at him.

"Michonne… Please." Melanie groaned more, breathing hard.

She sighed and moved it back, letting Negan go.

Negan went over to her. "What happened." He said gently, holding her hand seeing all the blood.

"She got hit in the stomach." Maggie answered him, helping her and Harlan.

"Oooh." Melanie cried out from the hard quick contractions, she was trying to keep up with them but felt like throwing up also.

Negan carried Melanie inside the medical trailer, once they got to Hilltop. Maggie followed closely, as Michonne took the kids. Cody was taken with Michonne to the house. Rosita cried seeing him, as he laid unconscious.

Rick followed inside the trailer also. "Hold on. He is not staying." He said referring to Negan.

"Not taking him!" Melanie screamed and cried out as Halan started doing an ultrasound, to double check.

Maggie looked at Rick. "Let him stay."

Rick looked at her questioningly. "Seriously?"

"Rick. She needs him. As much as you hate him and want him sitting in jail. She needs him more. You can stay."

Rick sighed and sat in the chair. "Fine."

Harlan examined Melanie quickly. " She's in full labor."

Melanie started crying more, she was freaking out that she was 4 months early.

The rest of the room fell silent.

Harlan helped Melanie scoot down at the end of the table and put her feet in stirrups. "Everyone get out that isn't here to help."

Negan held her hands. "I got you. Not going anywhere." He promised. He glanced at Rick, then back at Melanie.

Melanie sobbed slightly and pushed, groaning loudly. Harlan separated her legs a bit more and watched.

"Push baby.." Negan whispered, "Keep going doll."

Melanie groaned and pushed, "Oooh." She breathed,

Rick looked away seeing it all, he put his face in his hands, he got up and walked to the door of the trailer..

Negan watched and held her hands. "Hon." He said gently, as she rested a second. She turned her face to him and rubbed it gently. "I'm so sorry."

Melanie nodded and cried, " This is all my fault."

" No it isn't." He replied. "Shit just happens."

" It's all my fault!" She screamed, feeling the baby slide out.

Harlan caught the baby, and placed him in Melanie's arms. "It's a girl." He said gently.

Melanie looked down at the baby and cried, She covered the baby up with a towel. "I'm so sorry Negan."

Negan pulled her close, and shook his head. " It isn't your fault." He promised, he laid his head on hers and broke down with her also.

Harlan started helping along with the after birth, and getting her bleeding stopping. "I'm so sorry you two." He said gently. Melanie breathed through it and tried ignoring the pain.

Melanie didn't say anything. She just held onto the baby close.

Then. The baby started crying.

Melanie moved the blanket, and started crying. The baby was alive, not reanimated. Negan looked up also and put his hand on the babys back. "Doc."

Harlan came over after looking over the placenta. He looked the baby over and examined her. "She's about a 31 weeker. We were off." He picked up the baby and weighed her measured her. "She's about 3 pounds, and 19 inches." He wrapped the baby up and handed her back to Melanie. "Just wish I had the incubators set up…"

Melanie opened her shirt and put her close on her, and did skin to skin. " I'm her hospital." She said stating she wasn't going let the bab go. Negan smiled slightly and kissed her head.

"Charity." Melanie said softly, looking up at Negan. That was Lucille's middle name. Melanie knew and loved the real Lucille.

Negan didn't say anything but he had a slight smile on his face.
