Meredith was back at the compound. She braided her hair back into a french braid and got up from her bed, Negan hadn't let her out of the bedroom in over a week. She stood up hearing the doorknob turn and open. Shannon a younger girl - a little younger than Beth came into the room. "Mrs.. Greene?" She said shutting the door.
"Meredith." She corrected her gently. "What can I do to help you?" She asked sitting back down.
Shannon looked around the room.
"He's not not here, Shannon. He's off with Dwight and the others." Meredith patted the seat next to her on the bed. "Sit."
She nodded and slowly sat down. Shannon pushed her red hair from her face and sighed. "He's going to kill me."
"Why would he? I doubt that he will."
"I...I have been seeing my ex since I managed to sneak around, and I'm pregnant." Shannon looked worried up at her. "He told me I couldn't see Jeremy anymore but.."
"You did. I understand." Meredith nodded, and sighed. "Well. What can i do?"
"Can you get us out of here?"
Meredith bit her lip, and looked at her. "I can try." She sighed, "My husband, and group are trying to get me out.. I can get them to spare you and the others.."
Shannon sighed. "How..."
"How far along are you?" Meredith sighed, she was close to 36 weeks now and huge. She hadn't seen or been back to Alexandria since, Negan had become more ruthless, and harsh with his punishments.
"12 weeks I think."
"Well. We will keep it to ourselves for now." She smiled slightly, and got up. "Walk with me?"
Shannon nodded and walked with her, she was shaking from being scared.
Meredith reached over and held her hand, and walked to the common room where the other wives were. They stopped, and watched as they entered.
"Here, take my seat - Mer." Amber said standing up and moving aside from the recliner.
"Thank you Amber" She smiled slightly and looked at the group of women, she sighed. "Are you girls doing… okay?" Meredith was the eldest one here. She slowly sat down, closed her eyes for a minute.
The girls all started talking, and telling Meredith gossip and fears.
Meredith slowly made her way back to her room that night, she was exhausted, and worried. She stopped in the hallway, and held onto the wall for a moment. She breathed through the contraction.
"Mrs Greene?" A young man said walking up the stairs.
She opened her eyes and looked up, seeing the familiar face. "Alan?" She smiled slightly.
Alan Taylor was the local doctors son back home. He was also Maggie's first boyfriend, and love from before the outbreak.
"Mrs. Greene." His face light up and walked over. "Are you alright?" he asked pushing his hair from his face, he had grown his hair out long, and kept it back into a hair-tie and had a beard a very opposite look he used to keep.
"Just pregnant, and held captive." she walked with him to her room. "Tell me all what happened. Maggie was so worried about you."
Alan escorted her back to her room and kept his gun strapped to his back. "I left with my family to go see my grandma in California." He sighed sitting down. "Then everything went to hell." he glanced up at her. "Took me close to a year to get back to your farm in Georgia…"
"We were gone by then honey. The house caught on fire, and we had to leave."
Allan nodded and sighed. "I was found by Negan's men, and recruited." He looked down. "I hated it. I still do." He ran his hands through his hair, and sighed. "I….I killed so many people." He buried his face in his hands. "I never wanted this. I didn't want to become this." He was losing it.
Meredith placed a hand on his shoulder. "You can overcome this."
Allan looked up. "Is Maggie okay?" He wiped his face
"She's okay." Meredith smiled slightly. "Back in Alexandria.."
Allan looked down. "She remember me?"
"Of course she does." Meredith sighed. "She got married, and is expecting. She's 15 weeks."
Allan looked defeated, and sighed. "Wish I could see her again."
"You can, if you get me out of here. Help us overthrow Negan."
Allan smiled. "I'd do anything for you Mrs Greene..Are the others okay?"
Meredith smiled and pulled him in for a hug. "I'll fill you in on the others later.." she said softly, and got up. "I'll see you soon, Alan. Better go dear." Allan nodded and left.
Meredith pulled the radio, she took from Allan, turned it to Alexandria's channel. "Rick."
Rick overcame the radio, "Meredith?" He laughed, "Hershel!" He called from the room, and Hershel came in. Meredith sat back, and bit her lip rubbing her side.
"Meredith? Are you okay?" Hershel said worried.
"We are getting you tonight." Rick announced cutting Hershel off for a moment.
"I'm fine." Meredith closed her eyes, leaning over. She let out a soft groan.
"Dove?" Hershel was worried, and glanced at Rick.
Meredith looked up hearing the doorknob, she turned it off and tossed it under the bed. She leaned over and groaned.
Negan came in, glancing at her. "You alright?"
She gave a nod. "Mhmm." She scooted back on the bed. "Peachy."
Negan smiled sitting down, he was back very early. "Good." He tossed Lucille in the chair, and pulled Meredith in his lap.
Later that night, Meredith woke up feeling a hand over her mouth. She glanced up seeing Negan.. She tensed up, he slowly moved his hand.
"They are here. Make a sound and I will end your husband." He pulled her up from the bed and left the room..
