Note: See previous Chapter for other note!. This chapter is going to be about Enid for a bit.. ;) -EJ STORY GIRL

Negan lived. Melanie refused to see him. Rick and Michonne talked to Melanie about her giving back her ring and they were supportive - along with everyone else in had been keeping herself busy - either going on supply runs, keeping watch, or doing anything she was asked to do. She walked back from the tower, after Tara released her. She was still staying with Harlan. But Carl and Enid were watching the kids - whom were still asleep. She beat Rick and Michonne home, she assumed but didn't check on Carl or Enid and laid on the couch, It was still dark out.

About 2 hours later, Melanie woke up to Enid sneaking back downstairs to go back to her place, she lived with Maggie and Daryl.. She sat up and drew her knife, and jumped up. "Enid?" She said turning up the light.

"Oh...uhm….Hi Melanie." She said looking really embarrassed.

Melanie put her knife away. "Scared the shit out of me." She frowned. "You alright?"

"Uhm…. yeah. Just coming back from the bathroom." She answered not looking up at her.

Melanie watched her. "Alright. Why don't you crash in my room. I'm comfortable on the couch." She said smiling slightly laying back watching her. "Goodnight Enid."

Enid nodded and went down the hallway instead of going to the bathroom, she went into Melanie's room. Melanie heard Carl's door open and him pop out. "Enid?"

"Go to bed." Melanie said shooting him a look. "Goodnight Carl."

Carl quickly shut the door, Melanie laughed slightly and leaned back on the sofa. She looked up seeing Michonne and Rick come in.

"You're still awake?" Rick said looking at her.

"I just woke up." She said sitting up more. She tied her hair back. She looked and seen Ford, Charity and Sarah still asleep on the other end of the sofa.

"I'm sorry to have woke you." Rick sait taking off his boots.

"Carl's bed squeaking upstairs woke me up."

Rick raised a brow and looked at Michonne. "What?"

" I'll let you sleep on it." Melanie said getting up and grabbed Ford, carrying him into the bedroom.

Rick walked upstairs, and opened Carl's door.

Melanie placed Sarah and Ford in bed, and Charity in the playpen. Enid was awake.

Melanie pulled back the covers. "Crawl in, might as well sleep here." She said pulling Ford closer. Enid got into bed and fell asleep. Melanie slept for a few hours, when she was awoken by Ford poking her in the face. "Mama" He said softly, his eyes really close to hers.

"Mmm. I'm awake." she yawned getting up, she seen Enid was still asleep. She looked out the window and seen that the sun was just beginning to rise. She walked out into the kitchen and got started cooking eggs and pancakes - Carl had talked Rick into keeping some chickens in the backyard.

Rick came down the hallway a little while later. "Cooking?" He asked in surprise, watching.

"Yep." She said cracking some eggs open and throwing them into the pan on the stove. "Though we'd be hungry."

"Carl told me Enid stayed the night." Rick said going to the wood stove and helping her.

"Yep, slept in my room." Melanie replied as she tended to the pancakes.

Rick nodded listening. "That's good." He sighed. "Anything I should worry about?"

"They just where up late hanging out, and she didn't feel like walking home; told her she could crash in my room with me."

"Oh….Are..they uhm…" Rick sighed not wanting to ask.

"Thats for them to talk about with you. Going to seperate them if they are?" She asked putting the food on the table.

Rick raised a brow. "No just give them a talking to about uhm..being careful..Better now than never. Last thing we need is another baby - "

Melanie glanced over at him and put down the plate. She took off the apron she had on, and walked out the front door.

Michonne came out and seen it. "Whats going on?"

"Just put my damn foot in my mouth." Rick sighed and walked outside after her. "Mel." He caught up with her near the fence. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that."

Mel sighed. "It's fine." She said softly, trying to hold it together.

Rick turned her around and pulled her into a hug. "No, it wasn't. A baby isn't a mistake. I didn't mean for it to come out, that way." He sighed. "They are just too young..."

"Yeah…" Melanie sighed slightly. "It's fine.I understand. Hell, I was too young also."

Rick sighed, "Ford and Charity were more like - Surprises more like it. I'm just not ready for Carl to make me a grandpa."

Melanie laughed slightly. "You kind of are, Ford calls you Papa.."

"He does not." Rick said rolling his eyes.

"He will now. Welcome to the club gramps." She said walking back inside.

"Not funny." He replied following her.

Melanie picked up Ford and handed him to Rick. "Tell papa good morning."

Ford giggled and hugged him tightly, "Norning, papa."

Rick shot Melanie a look and sighed, "Morning bubba." He said holding him close. Michonne carried Judith into the kitchen and put her in the highchair. Sarah sat at the table rubbing her eyes. Charity started crying from the playpen. Melanie went and got her. She sat at the table and popped her top down on one side and fed her while eating with her other hand.

Carl came downstairs and sat at the table. Enid came from Melanie's room, and looked at Carl, then sat down in her chair and refused to look at anyone.

Enid looked down and sighed. "Mel could you go on a run with me?" She said grabbing a pancake and some eggs, throwing them into a sandwich and looking at Rick "Please?" She said getting up and walking out of the house.

Rick frowned, and sighed, watching them and then looking at Carl. "Hurry up and eat, we gotta go for a ride too.."

Melanie sighed grabbed a pancake. "Michonne… Do you mind?"

"Not at all." She smiled slightly.

"Thank you." Mel smiled and followed Enid to the jeep.

Enid kept quiet, and looked out the window as Melanie drove. "Mel...Does sex keep hurting?"

"Not if he takes his time." Mel said sitting down. "What kind of moves does he got?"

"Uhm…..nothing really." She sighed softly. "Just hit it and done."

Melanie frowned. "Ew. That's totally not fair to you."

Enid sighed softly, watching the trees as Melanie drove. "What should I do?"

"Well…" Melanie smiled slightly, and sighed. "It takes time to figure out what makes you both happy.."

"What made, you and Negan uhm..." Enid paused asking while looking at her.

Mel let out a laugh. "Not being around each other - we usually fight or something and he'll take over from there. We just make it a game." Melanie was heading towards Alexandria. " A crazy game." She smiled slightly. "It was an unhealthy game near the end - well in general…"

"Thats it?" She asked raising a brow.

"Honey, you are young and still new to it. Just enjoy it before popping out some kids." She smiled slightly. "Just be careful. Not like we have access to birth control. You're too young to be having a baby. Granted, you grew up a lot during the last few years of this hell - so has Carl." She sighed slightly, "Any other questions?"

Enid bit her lip and looked down. "What would you do if I did become pregnant?"

"Well…a trip to Doc for a check-up would be in order, and he'd probably do an exam and ultrasound…"

"Does all that hurt?" Enid asked quietly.

"No, he just palpitates your stomach, and the ultrasound doesn't hurt - it's more...uncomfortable."

"The inside one?" Enid remembered her mom telling her about her first ultrasound.

Mel nodded, "Yeah. It was uncomfortable, but it didn't hurt."

"Oh."

"Why, are you asking?" Mel asked as she continued driving, taking the last bite of her pancake.

"How did you know when you were pregnant?" Enid asked not taking her eyes off the road.

"I was exhausted. It also felt like I was sick with the flu. I only threw up a few times. Lu knew i was pregnant before It really clicked to me that I was." She smiled slightly. "She helped me a lot."

"Where did you guys live during that time?"

"Well, we stayed in town for the first month - before we finally loaded up the truck - drove out of there.." She sighed softly. "It was rough, and hard in the beginning."

"I hear you on that." Enid said looking down. "Where you scared?"

"Hell yeah. I didn't know a thing about having my own baby, or being a mom. Still don't feel like I have my shit together."

"Mel…." Enid said softly. "Last night wasn't our first time.." She paused looking up. "It's been going on for a long time now." She wiped her eyes but the tears kept falling. "Since the night after….the night Negan gathered us up." She really started crying.

Melanie stopped the jeep. She put it in park, and pulled Enid close into a hug. "You've been keeping this to yourself?"

"I…...I….." Enid nodded. "Yeah..." She said shaking, trying to calm down. "I….I think I might be." She kept crying though.

"Shhh…" Melanie rubbed her back and sighed. "It's okay. We'll talk more, and figure something out okay?"

Enid nodded wiping her face off on her jacket sleeve. " I'm scared." She was trying to calm down.

"Enid, breathe. It's okay." Melanie promised, rubbing her back more. "We'll turn around, and go see doc? I don't feel comfortable having you out here like this."

Enid nodded and tried calming down. Melanie turned the car around and drove back to Hilltop. They had combined Hilltop and Alexandria. Alexandria was still being use, but Rick lived in both and still ran Alexandira. Maggie was still the leader at Hilltop.

Melanie motioned to Tara to open the gate, and drove in. "Thanks!" She hollered, and drove to the other side of Hilltop. "Looks like Rick and Carl left."

Enid nodded, watching Melanie pull up to to her house. Michonne seen them getting out. She came outside, having Tara watch the kids since she was visiting. "Everything okay?"

Melanie shrugged slightly. "Come on." She said to Michonne, and Enid. And walked with Enid to the medical trailer and knocked.

Harlan opened the door, and moved aside. "Everything okay?" He asked seeing Enid was upset still, Melanie rubbed her back and walked her inside - Michonne following looking concerned.

"We'll talk." Melanie said softly. "Anyone else here?"

Harlan shook his head. "No, been dull around here lately." He smiled slightly and sat on the swivel chair. "Take seat ladies."

Melanie sat down, and Enid sat down next to her, keeping a tight grip on Melanie's arm.

"What's going on?" He asked watching.

Enid bit her lip. "I…...I…" She put her hands over her face and tried keeping calm.

Melanie rubbed her back. "She's not feeling so great." She said gently.

" I'm late." Enid finally got it out, and then started breaking down crying, she turned and put her face on Melanie's shoulder.

Melanie wrapped an arm around her. "Shhhh…. It's okay." She said gently.

Michonne looked at Melanie, inhaled slightly and then looked at Enid. She put a hand on Enid's back also.

"How late are you Enid?" Harlan asked gently, getting a handkerchief and handing it to her.

Enid refused to look up, and took out a little notebook. "The dashes are my days in between, and the circles are how many days my uhm...thing lasts." She said embarrassed.

Melanie took a slight glance and rubbed Enid's back.

Harlan looked it over, counting back from her last one. " According to this you're 95 days late." He said handing it back to her. "Are your breasts sore? Tired? Nauseous?"

"Uhm….Just a little." She said softly, stuffing the book back in her pocket, she felt embaressed answering those questions.

"Enid… How long…" Michonne asked watching her.

"The night Negan round us up. Carl and I we got back before you guys and we were freaking out and it just happened." She said softly. Then nodded listening to Harlan.

"I could do an exam and ultrasound?" He offered, " I would just feel your stomach, and do an external ultrasound." He sighed. "If this was regular times and we could do blood work it would be easier. I don't even have anymore urinary pregnancy tests. Someone needs to get them on a run.." He glanced at Melanie.

Melanie sighed. "I know. I'll get them." She smiled slightly. It had been 3 weeks since their first time together, and they were taking it easy in their new relationship.

.

Enid nodded, "Okay." She sighed softly.

Harlan stood up. "I'll be in the next room getting things out.." He said going into middle room and shutting the door, letting them be alone in the back room.

"Can you both - stay with me?" Enid asked sitting on the table putting the drape on her.

"Of course." Melanie said softly, sitting down in the chair. Michonne nodded and stood beside Enid.

Harlan knocked before coming in. "Good?"

"Yeah." Enid sighed, looking at the wall.

Harlan washed his hands and dried them, then came over and helped Enid lay down. "Tell me if you get uncomfortable or anything."

"O..okay." Enid said looking panicked for a minute and held out a hand to Melanie.

"You're okay." Melanie said holding her hand and moving closer to her. "Deep breaths." She sat at Enid's head and nodded. "It's okay."

Harlan nodded, "Just let me know if you get uncomfortable." He said and moved her shirt up a bit to feel her stomach.

Enid let out a groan softly, keeping her eyes closed.

"Doing good." Melanie said softly, watching her and Harlan.

Harlan finished doing that after a minute, and stepped back. "You doing okay Enid?"

Enid nodded and looked over at Melanie.

"Going to do the ultrasound." Harlan said softly.

Enid nodded, she tried not panicking as she laid back down. She gripped Michonne's hand tighter as the drape got moved down.

"Deep breaths. It's okay." Melanie said at her side, mainly helping Harlan with the stuff he needed.

Enid shook her head refusing. "I can't."

"Yes you can." Melanie said softly. "We - are, right here. Nothing is going to happen." She promised. "Dr. Carson will tell you what is going on before he does anything."

Enid nodded and breathed trying to calm down more, "Okay.."

Harlan was gentle about it, "Just going to press the wand on your stomach.".

Enid nodded

Harlan moved the wand a bit. He looked at the monitor. "There we go…" He said gently.

Enid kept her eyes shut.

"Enid, open your eyes and look." Michonne said watching. She smiled slightly. She hadn't seen a baby that tiny on camera in a while.

Enid did as Harlan turned the screen to face her, and turned it up slightly. The baby's heartbeat was really going. She started crying.

"Strong heartbeat." Harlan said looking at it. "10 weeks."

"I don't want it." Enid said crying.
