Melanie was stubborn and refused to listen to Harlan. She was up an around a day after getting hurt and sitting downstairs talking with Harlan in his office. "I can try and talk to him."

"I would wait Melanie. He's still recovering, and also really pissed off." Harlan sighed.

She gently put her hand on his face and sat closer to him. "Harry." She said calling him her nickname. She leaned down and kissed him. "I'll wait a few more days." She smiled softly.

Harlan smiled slightly and kissed her back. "Good." He sighed. "Darn stubborn woman."

"I am." She smiled and sat down in his lap.

Abe stood in the doorway watching them then cleared his throat. "May i come in?"

Harlan nodded, and smiled at him. "Of course."

Abe nodded and walked inside shutting the door. He looked at them, and then nodded. "Melanie...Grace would like to see you." He said watching Harlan.

Melanie nodded. "Alright." She smiled and got up and left the room. She walked upstairs and went to Grace and Abes room.

Abe and Harlan talked for a while then Abe came back upstairs.

Melanie smiled getting up and hugging Grace. "Good to meet you." She looked at the baby. "She's just...beautiful." She stroked the babys face and turned to her dad. She walked over and hugged him, and held him for a minute. "Thank you dad." She sighed softly, "I forgive you." She whispered.

Abe smiled and wiped his eyes. "Thank you Melanie." He stroked her face for a second. "You make me proud." He smiled softly. "Are you thinking of staying here?"

Melanie gave him a tissuse and shook her head. "I think so… I really… Need to help Harlan. The kids need something safe and stable." She sighed.

"Well… We can always visit and vice versa." He smiled looking at her. "I'd like to get to know you and my...grandchildren." He smiled more he couldn't believe he has grandchildren. "Love for you to know Grace more and your siblings too."

Melanie nodded. "I'd love that." She smiled, and looked at Grace. "You take care of this old bastard."

Grace laughed. "I will." She smiled. "You promise to visit us."

Melanie smiled. "I shall." She fixed her shirt, she was feeling her pain meds wearing off. "I'm off to go sleep." She said taking off her wedding ring from Negan. "I need a lot of it." She walked to the door. "I'll see you soon." She promised.

Abe nodded. "Good. Melanie… I…..love you." He smiled slightly sitting down with Grace.

"Love you also." Melanie smiled walking out and shutting the door. She walked down to the jail were Rick was and opened the door to go stand face to face with Negan.
