Negan looked at her. "Block the door." He ordered. Melanie nodded and did when he left, grabbing Lucille. He was really fighting hard, she watched him in action and smiled slightly. That was the man she married - well was married too.

She stopped feeling a sharp pain. She moved back, keeping the kids close. She knew a truck was right next to the back door. If something happened, they could go to it, and be safe. She hushed them and kept them close. She breathed, and leaned against the couch for a minute.

Harlan, Rick and Daryl came back through the destroyed gates. They saw what was going on with everything, got out and started fighting. Harlan took off for the meeting hall knowing Melanie was in there, Maggie yelled and told him.

Melanie looked up hearing Harlan, she opened the door and let him in. She let out a groan, as he shut the door.

Harlan looked at her. "Perfect time to go into labor.." He half smiled and sighed.

"Mhmm." She groaned. "Should of stayed in bed.."

Harlan held his tongue to refrain from telling her that would of been a smart idea under different circumstances, and grabbed a gun.

A fire was engulfing the community.

Negan came running back telling Rick he was getting the kids and Melaine. Rick was screaming something at him, and continued fighting. Negan opened the door, shutting it behind him. "We have to go." He ordered seeing Harlan helping Melanie. "Fuck."

Negan grabbed Melanie. "Get the kids, Harlan." He said looking at him. "I got Mel."

Harlan nodded listening to him, grabbed Sarah, Ford, Charity, Hershel Glenn Jr. He carried them as Negan lead the way to the truck. Melanie shot any walkers along the way, and groaned softly.

"My gosh." she said seeing the town going up in flames, along with the saviors attacking, and walkers everywhere. Sarah let out a scream as a walker came to her. Negan stabbed it, and continued on.

Negan walked over, to a van, "Get in." He said coldly, and put the kids in it, along with Mel, and Harlan. He started taking down a few walkers in the process. Negan got in and started driving, running over walkers.

Negan stopped got out and covered Carl as Enid and the baby made a way to get to another car. He kept attacking them. "Get your family safe." he told Carl. Rick came running over to cover Carl's family.

Melane grabbed her gun and started shooting walkers also. Negn was outside helping her. He swung at one that was going to get Rick. He just looked at the sheriff, and smirked slightly. He quickly turned and got another. A savior came over and grabbed Negan. Melanie raised the gun and shot the savior. Negan nodded at her, and continued fighting as the fire continued raging.

Rick hollered. "Get to safety!" He took off running to a truck that had Michonne, Carl, Enid and baby Lorileigh in it.

"You okay?" Negan asked getting in. Melanie nodded leaning her head against the seat, breathing.

The horde was getting bigger, coming in to many to fight, the fire continued to consume the town. The rest of the Alexandrians and Hilltoppers fled in vehicles…

Negan frowned and continued driving. The kids were sleeping in the back. Negan floored it and pushed a truck out of the wall, and drove off away from the town. Melanie let out a groan.

Harlan moved and put a hand on Melanie. "Doing okay?"

Melanie shook her head and groaned, moving the seat to lay back a bit. Harlan moved and started timing her contractions, keeping an eye on her.

Negan remained silent as he drove, he kept a watch on her from the corner of his eye.

Harlan frowned watching how close they where. "Damn." He muttered. "About 5 minutes apart."

Negan looked at Melanie." Cabin?" That was literally the only place he could think of at the moment, and knew nobody else would know the location of.

Melanie nodded, breathing. "Please." She undid her jeans a bit, letting her stomach expose more.

Negan gave a firm nod. He took off, driving as it started raining hard.

"We have nothing." Melanie groaned as Negan helped her into the house after he got there, locked the gate again, and checked the property quickly, along with inside the house.

"We'll improvise. I'm sure the kit is still here from last time." Negan said gently. He carried the kids inside, and put them on the pull out sofa bed in the living room, closed the blinds, made sure the doors where locked with Harlan. Negan started looking for the kit he left last time. He found it and brought it in.

"Negan - Freaking MacGyver..." She breathed kicking off her jeans, she felt awful. "I want to throw up."

" I believe it's Negan, Fucking MacGyver." He grinned flashing his teeth.

Melanie laughed and breath, taking off her jacket, and t-shirt, going down to her tank top. "Sounds like a better name." She groaned getting help walking to the bathroom from them both.

They waited, Negan took off his jacket, and cleaned himself up. Harlan did the same in the upstairs bathroom. Negan busted back to the bathroom when he heard Melanie let out a scream.

"What the fuck's wrong?." He said opening the door.

Melanie was breathing hard, and hovering a bit. "Hurts like hell." She groaned. "Sorry." She muttered.

Negan sighed in relief, "Damn it, Melanie. Give me a fucking heart attack.." He scolded her and helped her back into the bedroom. He saw her water broke while she was using the toilet.

"Sorry.." She panted and groaned more seeing Harlan come down. He had checked on the kids while coming down.

"Good?" He asked. Melanie nodded.

"Just being dramatic." She forced a smile, and breathed.

Harlan let out a small laugh. "Sure you are." He put on some gloves and quickly examined her. "At a 6 already." He smiled. "They will be ready soon..."

Melanie nodded laying her head back after tying her hair up into a messy bun.

"Two?" Negan said looking at her. "Tell me my fucking hearing is going, Melanie…" He frowned, looking at her. She didn't say anything, just closed her eyes - first she hid the pregnancy for so long from him, now she was surprising him with not one baby- but two. "Fan-fucking-tastic.. Melanie…" He shook his head.

Harlan watched. "It's twins." He said telling Negan again.

"How the fuck - " He paused, after pacing. He shook his head. "We don't have shit for one - let alone two babies.." He clenched his jaw, and sighed. "Fuck...Fuck…" He kicked the chair.

Melanie looked over at him. "Negan." She took his hand, pulling him close. She knew he was scared, even if he doesn't like showing it. He had a hard time showing it. She put a hand on his cheek. "We didn't have shit for Ford either, when he was born."

Negan sighed, sitting down. "Shit. Melanie.." He stopped talking, and looked up at Harlan. "Can you handle this?" He frowned.

Harlan sat down. "They are both head down. That doesn't mean one might flip after the first is born.." He looked at Negan. "With a singleton birth everything's the same issue. It's just higher with twins." He smiled slightly. "She's full term.. 38 weeks.."

Negan nodded and sighed, he got up and left the room for a bit to check the kid's.

Melanie laid her head back and breathed through the contractions. Harlan stayed with her and helped her with them.

"Not what we had envisioned.." He smiled slightly. "Scared?"

Melanie nodded, and breathed. "Some." She closed her eyes. "Hell of a lot."
"You'll be okay." He smiled slightly, and helped her, pressed on her lower back.

"Hope… so." Melanie groaned, feeling him press on her back, breathing.

Negan came back a while later, got the fire really going, and also dropped a bag on the floor. He grabbed it and smiled slightly. "I knew we left shit." He laughed slightly.

Melanie smiled slightly, groaning. "Great." She moved around on the bed.

Negan went through the stuff and saw the baby stuff Lucille had packed in it, and left from the first time they were there. He paused looking at the clothing. He cleared his throat and snapped out of his thoughts about his wife. He put the baby clothes on the dresser, and the old Military field kit he kept. "Take a look doc." He said taking over with Melanie.

"Military man?" Harlan asked looking over the stuff.

Negan gave a nod, while Melanie tried taking a little nap. "Yep... Served 10 years."

He rubbed his face. "Ford was delivered here, along with Maggie's boy.."

Harlan sat up what he needed, and listened. "Easy deliveries?"

"Both were scared. They had smooth deliveries though." He sat back, kicking his feet up on the bed post.

"Was Ford your first?" Harlan sat down on the other side of the bed.

Negan let out a laugh. "My old lady - Lucille..." He shook his head. "She had three stillbirths. Gave up after the last one.." He opened his flask from his pocket and took a drink. "Broke her heart... She was...happy she learned Melanie was pregnant.. Well.. Pissed at first, but she came around, and was supportive of her.." He passed the flask to Harlan.

Harlan took a sip and passed it back. He wasn't a drinker. "She helped Mel a lot huh?"

"She did." He smiled slightly, and took another drink then put it away. "She died a month after Ford was born. She still couldn't get over that name.." Negan rolled his eyes. "Melanie named him after her dad's last name." He shook his head. "Piece of shit.." He huffed.

"So your wife... What was her full name?" Harlan asked looking out at the kids seeing them still asleep. The story sounded familiar.

"Lucille Maria Lansbury-Travis.." He laughed, he hadn't said his last name - Travis, in a long time.

Harlan furrowed his brows and laughed. "Well...Here's to my step-sister..." Lucille was about 10 years younger than he was.

Negan let out a bellow of a laugh and took a drink "Good one, Doc.."

Melanie started turning, groaning slightly.
