Melanie was finally starting to feel back to herself after 3 days. Negan refused to leave her side, much to Rick's annoyance, after Melanie begged him to stay with her to help her out. .
Maggie laughed slightly and relaxed with Melanie on the sofa, she was doing good also being postpartum. "How long does this last anyway?" She asked referring to the bleeding.
"A month." Melanie sighed softly
"Damn." Maggie sighed laying her head back. "How you holding up?"
"I'm doing alright." Melanie smiled slightly. "Just...yeah.." She sighed softly. "Glad Charity is doing better." She was feeding her and cuddling with her baby girl.
Melanie nodded and watched Negan come over. "Ready? Or are you two old roosters fighting still?"
Negan rolled his eyes and laughed. "Yep." He sat down with her and watched her feed their daughter.
Rosita came over with her husband Cody. She was expecting twins with him. Negan had used Cody and brainwashed him into being a merciless killing machine.
"Negan I need you to bring my husband back to me." She said watching him.
"You want me to knock some of his old self back into that little f'er?" Negan laughed then heard his wife growl. "What mel? You really care?"
"Negan. He has a family."
Melanie frowned. "Do it for me."
Negan growled and sighed, "I'm going to need a private area." Negan sighed.
Melanie watched him. "You have to put him through that hell again?"
"Just a little, nothing like before. This will be easy compared to last time. Fool didn't break until the 5th day last time - with sleep deprivation also.." Negan said watching her, then going into the room with Cody and locking the door.
Melanie, Rick, Rosita and Maggie sat and tried not to listen to the fighting going on in their. Negan came out a while later, and looked like hell. Melanie could tell it took a lot out of him.
"He….he's fine." Negan sighed, "He's gonna wake up soon. Rosita might want to get in there.." He looked at Melanie, he bandaged up his one hand and shook his head. "He's gonna wake up soon."
Maggie and Rosita brought Cody out and sat him on the sofa. He had a black eye, and busted lip. Negan grabbed a bottle of water and dumped it on him. "Wake up." He ordered.
Cody winced and opened his eyes. "Negan." He croaked and sat up. He looked at Rosita. "Rosita.." He smiled slightly and hugged her. He could remember being married and that she was pregnant.
Rosita started crying and hugged him tightly. "Cody." she said kissing him. "Really you?"
"Yes." Cody smiled softly, and looked at Maggie. "Where is Glenn?" He asked worried.
Rick sighed. "He died a long time ago Cody."
Cody's face fell, and he covered his face and broke down crying. Rosita held him close, Maggie hugged him also.
Negan huffed, and sighed. He really felt like shit a little for doing that to them. He looked at Cody. "I had to make him an example." He said watching him.
Cody started panicking. "It was my lashing out that killed him?" He looked at Maggie. "I'm sorry Maggie."
Maggie shook her head. "Not your fault." she tried reassuring him. "Daryl fought with Negan after, and Negan just picked a random person… Not that he had too after killing Abe.." she frowned looking at Negan.
Negan didn't say anything. He sat down with Melanie.
Cody felt his face, he was burned on the side of it. Rosita took Cody home.
A while later. Rick took Negan back to the cell, and Melanie stayed with Harlan so he could keep a closer eye on baby Charity.
