"For several months" would mean it has been on the plant through the traditional winter months. If you are somewhere other than USDA zone 12 or higher, then the plant simply shut down during those months. In this case you might see some color change in the coming month or two. If it has been outdoors on the plant for 4 months, I would remove it hang it in your garage by mid-May. The quality of the fruit will be "off" in comparison to fruit that emerges in April-June.
