AN: I saw some people talking about this on tumblr and my hand slipped.
The only computer in the house was acting up again. Lori was in her bedroom trying to check Best Buy's website for a new power cable; but every time she would type a "B" in to the search engine, it would fill in things that disturbed her and pop-ups would appear that were not suitable for her household. She decided to look for a pop-up blocker while she was at Best Buy and thought no more of it.
Two weeks later something weird happened. She was looking on the computer and accidentally closed out a tab. She thought 'no problem, I'll just look in the history.' When she did though, there was an obscene amount of Pornhub that she immediately erased the searches and closed the browser. Carl has apparently found porn and she needed to have a talk with him.
The talk was about as awkward as possible, there's no fun way to explain to your 10 year-old about the intricacies of the adult film industry. Lori explained the reasons he should not think that what he sees on the Internet is what relationships are actually like. And that he should not be looking at those kinds of things right now. She believes she has finally made breakthrough in the "porn mystery," and takes a breather.
Two months later she goes on the computer and checks the internet history, as she has been doing since she had that talk with Carl, and finds that he has been at it again. She takes a closer look at the searches, and they all have the same name: Michonne. Lori decided she needed to see what her son was looking at, so she clicked on one of the videos.
The video started, and Lori clicked to the middle, she could see an attractive black woman and a white man having wild sex in a barn. She only watched a minute of it, but that image was burned into her retina. She decided that when Carl got home from school, she would have another talk with him, but this time she would have Rick by her side backing her up so he never does it again. Lori then left to go to the store before getting Carl.
After doing her shopping, she realized she had time to bring the groceries home. When Lori pulled up, she saw Rick's car in the driveway. This gives me the perfect opportunity to talk to Rick about his son's dirty habits, she thought. She brought the groceries in and looked for Rick. He must be in our room. She walks up the the stairs and sees their door was closed.
She hears a woman's moan coming from the door and freezes. He's cheating on me! Lori started to panic and hyperventilate, trying to figure out where she went wrong, but then she hears Rick moan: "Michoonnnne. Yessss. Right there!" And she realizes where her porn problem has really been coming from.
Lori opens the door to her bedroom and sees Rick standing up, pants down, dick in hand, beating to Mars and back to that woman's face that hasn't left her mind since that morning when she decided to click on that video. He doesn't stop either. He's so engrossed with the matter at hand that he does not hear her open the door, so he keeps at it.
Lori has had enough and screams "RICK!" He jumps and blows at that moment, looking in her direction with wide eyes and evidence all over his legs and hand. "Lori! I didn't think you would be home until you picked up Carl. This isn't what it looks like. Well... it is but.. I." "Just clean it up Rick. I don't want to talk about it."
"Are you sure?" He looks to her and she can't be too mad, he didn't cheat he just has fantasies of black women and they live in Kings County so no chance of that ever actually happening. "Yeah, can we just forget this ever happened and move on?" Lori pleads with her eyes for him to let it go. "Sure," Rick eventually says.
Lori leaves to get Carl and they never speak of it again. Although she does wonder if she is what Rick actually wants from time to time. But he quickly stamps off that insecurity whenever he's the perfect husband.
FIVE YEARS LATER
She knew it was over between her and Rick the moment he found out about her and Shane. They were stuck in this literal prison, the world had turned to shit, but she was holding her daughter. Shane's daughter, not Rick's judging by her hair and eye color. Since Shane met his fate, she had been cold to him. He had tried in the beginning, but now he only interacts with her for the kids. He treats Judith like his own because he's such a good man, but Lori did not realize that until it was too late.
Lori has been doing better for the past few months. The baby is now 5 months old and, Lori believes that she can rekindle something with Rick now that her head is on straight. She looks out to the prison yard and spots some commotion at the gate. She starts to panic when she sees Carl go out with his dad by those things, walkers they've been calling them. She sees them bring in a dark figure and is relieved that they made it back safely.
She sees her son later on that day and asks what was happening by the gate. Carl informs her "there was a lady named Michonne that had formula for Judith! We think she knows where Glen and Maggie are." Lori asks where she is so that she can thank her, he tells her the infirmary. Lori makes her way to the infirmary thinking where she had heard that name before. When she arrives she sees Rick's muscular back because his shirt was ripped, and remembers what it was like to run her hands down it. She decides to put her plan to get him back in to play soon.
Lori knocks on the door and Rick, Hershel, and Daryl turn to look at her. Rick asks "what are you doing down here?" She replies, "I wanted to thank the woman that helped bring food for Judith." Lori turns to see her and froze. Quickly she thanked the woman and stepped to the side. She remembered where she knew that name. Her plan needed to be put in to affect sooner rather than later, because Rick's old porn fantasy woman was sitting in the infirmary and she could tell by looking at him that he recognized her too.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I still see Michonne being a lawyer in this AU but she used porn to pay her way through school and she represented porn stars in their cases against big corporate. And Rick was beating it to 2 year old videos so...yeah made sense to me.
Sorry I don't really write fic, but I had to start this one off. Maybe I'll finish it. Idk? If somebody wants to adopt it that would be cool too.
