Author's note:

I was doing this for the Richonne fics challenge but I wanted to finish off my other fics first. So, this is something short and sweet and around 5 chapters. I promised myself I wouldn't put out fics like these without completing the story. Enjoy... and let me know what you think.

The Reunion

Chapter 1

...

"Sooo are you going to go?" Andrea asked.

"Go where?" Michonne replied looking up at her best friend.

They were currently on Michonne's four-poster king-sized bed. Michonne had her back against the top of the headboard.

She knew exactly what Andrea was going to say.

"To the King County high school reunion." Her bright blue eyes twinkled.

Michonne let out a small huff.

This was all her best friend had been talking about for the last few weeks. She couldn't understand why Andrea was so desperate for her to go.

"Why don't you want to go?" she questioned.

"You know why, and why are you so desperate to go?" Michonne replied.

"I am not. Come on, I spoke to Shane-" Andrea started speaking until she was cut off by Michonne.

"You spoke to Shane...when?"

"When he visited last weekend," she spoke really fast.

"And you did what exactly?"

Andrea was about to speak but Michonne cut her off again.

"Actually don't. I can't believe you slept with him AGAIN!" she threw her hands in the air, disgusted with her friend.

"I just couldn't resist that country accent...has me weak and dropping to my knees," Andrea stuck her tongue out.

Michonne shook her head and they both laughed.

"Please, can you not at least think about it?" she said, pouting her lips and handing over the black, white, and gold invitation. Michonne took it from her hands and had a look.

"Come on, you first love will probably be there..."

Rick Grimes.

"Yes, and this is why I don't know if I want to go. It will just bring up bad memories and we haven't spoken to each other in nearly 15 years." Michonne said, looking down at the invitation in her hands.

"Why are you still here? Shouldn't your house have finished renovating by now?"

Andrea was staying at Michonne's house whilst her own home was being decorated.

Michonne looked over at Andrea, who was laying on her front in her blue pyjamas with her feet kicking back behind her.

"Babe, there is no need to rush me going back."

Michonne rolled her eyes.

"Anyways, I like it here...I love spending time with my god-daughter." Andrea said, starting to move off Michonne's bed.

She came to stand at the door frame "Can you at least think about it. It would be good to go and your country boy with the blue eyes is probably going... And you might even get lucky yourself. Since it's been over a year since you have had sex."

Andrea screamed as her best friend threw a pillow at her head. She quickly ran out of Michonne's bedroom down the hallway to her own.

Michonne shook her head. She chewed on her bottom lip and pulled her silver Mac book air from the side. She fired up her laptop and logged onto her Facebook account. She typed in Rick Grimes in the search bar and his name came up.

Rick's name had frequently come up in her 'people you may know' suggestions on Facebook, but she hadn't reconnected with him. What do you even say after all this time?

Michonne clicked on his profile picture. It was a picture of him and his two children. They were all smiling. Was he happy? He looks happy? Michonne thought. She had sometimes found him on social media but was too scared to send a message or even a friend request. She never knew what to say to him, or if there was anything to say after all this time.

She closed the lid on her laptop and looked at the invitation in her hand. She placed the invitation on the night stand.

Michonne removed her square black-framed glasses and rubbed her eyes with the tips of her fingers.

"What do you say Beauty, do you think I should go?" she asked her the fluffy ball sitting on the edge of her bed.

Michonne's black cat meowed. I think that's a yes from her.

She kicked off the luxurious gold covers and walked down the hallway. She stopped at a bedroom which was decorated in colours of baby pinks and white. Michonne walked further into the room to check on her sleeping daughter. Michonne let out a small smile. She pulled the covers up and placed a delicate kiss on her 5 year old daughter Ava's head and switched the butterfly night light off.

Michonne went back to her own room and closed the bedroom door shut behind her. She climbed into her big empty bed thinking about what Andrea said and about this reunion. Switching her own bedside lamp off, she eventually drifted to sleep, where dreams of Rick plagued her mind.

Michonne lived in a beautiful 3 story modern townhouse in New York City. It had 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

The building was decorated on the outside with white, black and grey paint. The panelled shutter windows were a crisp white colour. There was small black metal railing on the front of the property and on the outside of the balcony. There were large steps leading up to double front doors. Inside was equally decorated to a high standard.

Michonne's home was just like her; sophisticated, contemporary and modern.

It was the best buy she ever bought and this had been her home since her divorce.

The next day, there was a knock at Michonne's front door. She opened it to be greeted by her ex-husband Negan. It wasn't like Michonne and Negan didn't get along, they did. She just fell out of love with him. Their marriage soon turned into them being friends. Maybe, it was because she never could get over her first love. Rick had had a major effect on her past relationships over the years.

Michonne new deep down that Negan still loved her. She couldn't let them continue in this marriage knowing that she could never full commit herself to him any longer.

"Hi."

"Hey Michonne," Negan said, smiling.

They had met 7 years ago. He had walked into the art gallery she had inherited. One morning wearing a grey double breasted coat, a red polo neck jumper, black jeans and tanned boots. She had to admit he was very good looking and dressed smart. He bought several pieces and offered to take her out for dinner.

Negan was older than Michonne. They met when he was 36 and she was 26. Then one year later they were married and she fell pregnant shortly afterwards. It was a world wind romance that unfortunately wasn't meant to last. They divorced three years ago.

It took some time for Negan to eventually move on and he did. He has been with his girlfriend Lucille for the last 6 months.

"Dadddyyyy." the little girl with dark brown curly hair shouted.

"There is my princess," Negan said, bending down and picking up his daughter.

He closed the door behind him and followed Michonne to her modern kitchen

"So, I heard about your high school reunion. Are you going to go?"

She rolled her eyes.

"Have you been speaking to Andrea?" Michonne said.

"Yes, well whatever you decide. You know I will have this one, right?" Negan said, tickling Ava's sides. She giggled in her father's arms.

Michonne nodded slightly.

"Do you want a cup of tea? I just boiled the kettle."

"Yes, please. That would be great."

Michonne made her and Negan the hot drink and handed him the black and white cup.

She leaned down on the surface hugging her mug around her hands. Michonne stared into space contemplating if she was going to go to the King County reunion.

Author's note:

For once, I have made Negan a good guy and he felt right to be her ex-husband in this story.

What are our thoughts so far? And do we think she's going to?
