It took a few days for Sky to start feeling remotely normal again. The pain in her shoulder had been really bad, and Negan had made sure she was always taking her pain medication. As much as he hated to, he'd even turned her down while she was healing.
He didn't want her to strain herself and tear any of her stitches, so they had to settle for just cuddling. He was perfectly ok with it, he could hold out for her if it was what she needed.
Since spending every night with him her nightmares had almost gone completely. Very rarely would she have one, and when she did he was always right there by her side, holding her tight and soothing her back to sleep. Her panic attacks had lessened too and the overwhelming fear that she once felt had all but gone.
The following morning Sky decided it was time to start working at the infirmary again. Her wounds were healing up nicely and she was able to move her arm a lot more now. Negan was sure to make her morning amazing initiating a hot and steaming round of morning sex before she had to get up.
When Sky walked into the infirmary she was greeted by the happy, smiling face of Chris. "Sky! Glad you're back! How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I'm doing much better thanks" she smiled in response.
"How's the shoulder?"
"Still in a bit of pain sometimes and my movement is a little limited, but it's getting better every day".
"I'm glad to hear that" he smiled. "I have some news that I think you're gonna want to hear" he told her. "Follow me" he said as he headed to the back room.
Sky wandered in and sat down at the small table with him. "So what's up Chris?" She asked.
"The guys came back from a medical run yesterday with a whole lot of new medications and supplies"
"Oh that's great. Do you need me to help organise them?"
"No that's ok. I've got Keira and Sam on it. I wanted to talk to you because I came across a fertility drug called Serophene. I've looked into it and it sounds like it will be ideal for your situation" Chris told her.
"Oh my god… that's amazing! So how does it work?" a little stunned about the whole thing.
"Well it's in pill form and you take one pill each day for five days, starting on the fifth day of your period. It is expected that it should encourage your body to ovulate within five to ten days after you take it, so you'll want to make sure you are having sex within that time... but I'm sure that's not going to be a problem" he grinned.
"Sounds good. Are there any side effects? Anything I need to be worried about?"
"Well first we need to make sure that you aren't by some chance already pregnant so you'll need to take a test before you start the drugs" he said as he handed her a test and the pill bottle.
"Usually the presence of your period is enough to rule out pregnancy but I want you to do a test to be sure because of the way your cycle is" he continued.
"There are some risks with this medication, such as multiple births you know twins or triplets, breast pain or tenderness, headaches and hot flashes".
"Ok well, that doesn't sound all that bad. I think I can deal with that".
"Great, well you can start the drugs when you are ready. There is three months' worth in there, it's recommended that you don't take Serophene any longer than that. And make sure you let me know if there are any other side effects that you are concerned about ok"
"Thank you so much Chris! This means the world to me"
"No problems Sky, you deserve the chance to have everything you want" he said as he gave her a quick hug.
"I can't wait to tell Negan" Sky said excitedly.
The rest of her day seemed to drag on and on for Sky, probably because she was dying to see Negan and give him the good news. She couldn't wait to see the look on his face when she told him that there was a good chance he could become a father.
Sky knew that he was disappointed when Chris had given them the bad news, but being the man that he is, he put on a brave face and was strong for her because she needed him to be. But inside she knew that he was hurting.
A lot of people thought that Negan was a heartless man, but if these last few months had proved anything it was that he was quite the opposite. The only reason he had become so ruthless was because the world made him that way. And in order to protect himself from being hurt, he had to shut himself off from people.
And then along came Sky, a woman so unique and so amazing in his eyes that he couldn't help but let her in. She made him feel again, and she made him want things again. He wanted a life, he wanted a family and Sky so desperately wanted to give that to him, after all he had given her so much.
When she was at her darkest, when she no longer wanted to live, this man came out of nowhere and showed her what it was to be treated like a princess. He worshipped her and did whatever her could to keep her safe and make her happy. Sky knew that he would make an amazing father, and she was more than ready to start this journey with him.
