Melanie was exhausted, breastfeeding a little one along with being a mother to a 7 year old and 3 year old and a 9 month old baby, it was really exhausting - on top of being 14 weeks pregnant. She sat back on the sofa after laying the kids down, the baby in the crib. Harlan was sleeping next to her after having a busy day himself. Melanie closed her eyes and relaxed falling asleep. She woke up to the sound of Charity crying. She got up and cuddled with her and fed her.

The next day, went by slowly. Melanie was off running around with Rick, Harlan and Daryl. She had just had an argument with Daryl. Harlan stopped her from going back to the car, and grabbed her by the wrist, to turn her around to talk to him. He pulled her close. Melanie closed her eyes for a minute, and opened them, she looked really angry. She grabbed Harlan and pushed him against the car, and growled slightly. Rick and Daryl were watching.

"Melanie." Harlan said watching her, he could tell something happened.

Melanie shook her head. "Don't. Touch me like that." She said and let him go. She started walking, and felt her legs go weak She collapsed on the ground.

Rick came over and kneeled down to her as Harlan started looking at her Daryl was keeping a lookout. Melanie snapped awake, and looked around panicking slightly. She sat up and scooted back against the tire of the car. "Calm down Melanie." Rick said softly.

"I'm sorry." She said panicking. "I didn't mean to do that" She said closing her eyes.

"It's okay." Harlan watched her and took her hand carefully. "I shouldn't have grabbed you like that. I'm sorry Melanie." He looked her over. "Are you okay?"

Melanie shook her head and held it for a minute. "Headache." She said slowly getting up. She had calmed down a little bit and hugged Harlan. He hugged her back and rubbed it slightly, they had finally came forward about their relationship with Rick and a few others.

He sighed. "You've been having them a lot lately." He said walking back with her.

Rick sighed. "She shouldn't be out here anymore, on runs for a while" He said glancing down at her stomach. "Since there is two in their."

Melanie sighed. "I'll stay home after this one." She promised walking with them to finish their business with the Kingdome. They finished up, Melanie sighed and apologized to Daryl on the way back. He shook his head and smiled slightly. He understood.

They got back, and Melanie carried her jacket in front of her. She had agreed to take the kids to go see Negan. She walked in with the, they sat the table. She sat down as he came out cuffed, and sat at the table with them. She was holding Charity, Ford and Sarah were sitting on each side of her.

"Hello Beautiful." Negan smiled slightly, sitting down. Sarah and Ford giggled listening to him.

Melanie smiled slightly, "Negan." She said softly. She had Charity sitting on the table, holding her

Sarah and Ford started telling Negan about the past few months, and everything else going on. Sarah smiled. "Daddy. Rick let me ride a horse."

"Thats nice Sarah." He said watching Melanie. She was refusing to look at him. "I bet you had fun huh?"

"Yah! Ford liked it too.." She smiled coloring in her coloring book, with Ford.

Melanie moved carefully, and handed Charity over to Negan.

"Hello Charity..." He smiled at Charity. She was close to 11 months old. He held her close talking to her, and kissing her cheeks. Charity let out a giggle and hit him.

Negan smiled, watching her "Pretty like your mama." He said looking at Melanie.

Melanie bit her lip slightly looking at Charity. She still hadn't told him she was pregnant - she didn't see a point in telling him. She was 6 months a long and not really showing a lot. She watched Negan and noticed he had lost weight, and grew his beard out more. She was really tempted to lean over the table and kiss him. She took her hair-tie and tied her hair back up.

Negan noticed something was different about her. He watched her, and smiled down at Charity. "Been keeping Mama busy?" He asked tickling her. He glanced up at Melanie and saw she looked exhausted She had gained some weight, nothing wrong with it. She always looked good with a little bit more weight on her frame.

"Very busy." Melanie said finally talking to him. "She's nursing all the time. Along with eating food.." She glanced at the kids, and moved her sleeve up a bit without realizing it, she had exposed her IV line.

"Been sick?" He asked noticing it and shifting Charity around in his lap.

Melanie moved her sleeve. "Yeah, had a stomach bug wasn't getting enough fluids." She said softly sighing.

"Oh.. Well glad you are better…" He sighed softly. "Living with Rick?"

"Yes and no." Melanie sighed. "Been staying during the night at his place, and working during the day. Carols been keeping the kids lately." She placed her hand over her mouth thinking she was going to throw up.

"I see." Negan got up and moved a bit walking around with Charity, Ford and Sarah. He kneeled down to them, and gave them a hug. They ran off to go play with Carl. Negan sat down holding Charity close.

Melanie felt like crap again suddenly. She grabbed the trashcan and threw up into it.

Negan got up and moved over to her, he rubbed her back and watched. "You alright." He asked moving a bit, with Charity. He had time to think during his lock up and realized he treated her like shit.

Melanie nodded and wiped her mouth off and rinsed her mouth out. She sat up a bit, and slowly turned back to the table. "Just not doing so great." She saw Rick come in and clear his throat. "I'll be back in a week." She promised.

Negan quickly grabbed her face and kissed her as Rick grabbed him. "Can't wait." He smirked slightly.

She grabbed Charity and watched Rick take Negan away back to his cell. She saw Rick come out a bit later and help her up "Lets get you home." He smiled slightly.

Melanie nodded and left with him. She remained quiet, and ate dinner with Rick and his family, Harlan stopped by later and joined in on dinner. She turned into bed early and fell asleep. She just wasn't in a talking mood.
