Thank you so much for the overwhelming response to this series. So glad that you like the first chapter/one-shot. I'm just a sucker for Grimes family fluff.

"Looks like it's just us girls tonight," Michonne smiled at baby Judith who gurgled in response. "Your daddy has a meeting with Deanna and your brother is hanging out with friends. Imagine that, huh? So I hope you don't mind being stuck with me."

Judith smiled and grabbed at Michonne's locks, twirling them around her little, chubby fingers.

"We've had this discussion before, baby girl. You have real toys now and all you want to do is play with my hair? Silly baby," Michonne gently removed Judith's hands from hair as she carried the baby to the kitchen. "How about some dinner, huh?"

Michonne placed Judith in her high chair so she could prepare dinner for the two or rather heat up their leftovers for the evening. Since it was just the two of them, there was no need to make something fresh for dinner.

"Muh! Muh!" Judith squealed as she watched Michonne work her way around the kitchen. Judith knew exactly what was coming and she couldn't wait.

"Your food is coming, baby girl," Michonne responded as Judith continued her loud babbles. Once the food was heated, Michonne placed the plate on the table and grabbed some silverware before sitting down in the chair directly next to Judith's. Judith immediately reached her hands out for her dinner. "One second, it's still hot." Michonne proceeded to cut a few pieces of chicken before blowing on them to cool them down. "Here you go," she placed the small pieces on the tray of Judith's high chair.

She cut more chicken and carrots before giving them to Judith. The baby was absolutely delighted to see more food on her tray. Michonne also gave her a few bites of peas. She ate the rest of the food herself as Judith ate quietly. Meal times were no joke for the baby; Judith focused on her food like nobody's business. Michonne silently wished that Rick or Carl would walk through the door. Dinnertime and the rest of the evening were Michonne's favorite part of her day. It was just the four of them, enjoying each other's company and talking about their day. And she missed that tonight, having no one to talk too…not that Judith wasn't wonderful company but she missed actual conversations.

After dinner, it was time for a bath. Michonne had no idea how Judith managed to get so messy with just chicken, carrots and peas but Judith had a special gift. She carried the little girl upstairs and into the master bathroom. She placed Judith down on the grey bath mat before retrieving the little yellow ducky the baby was so fond of. Once Judith was settled, Michonne started the bath and grabbed a few towels, one for drying and one for washing. She made sure to keep an eye on Judith as the baby had been crawling up a storm and was known to leave a room in the blink of an eye. Michonne placed the towels on the edge of the Jacuzzi tub and checked the height and temperature of the water. Once it was to her satisfaction, she turned it off and prepared the baby for her bath.

"Ok, time for a bath!" Michonne cooed to the baby. "Are you excited?"

Michonne laid Judith down on the mat and took away the ducky so she could change her. She had to endure a little bit of fussiness as she rid Judith of her clothes and diaper before placing her in the oversized tub. Judith smiled bright and splashed her hands in the warm water; she loved bath time. Michonne handed her a little plastic sailboat and dropped the rubber ducky next to her.

"Oooo!" Judith squealed as she slammed the boat into the very shallow water. Michonne let her play for a few minutes before she started washing Judith, much to her dismay.

"That wasn't so bad, was it?" Michonne unplugged the tub and grabbed the big, fluffy grey towel before wrapping it around Judith. "Let's get you all dry and in your jammies. And don't you even think about peeing before I get a diaper on you."

Michonne carried a suddenly, sleepy Judith into her own bedroom and set her down on the changing table. She rubbed the towel gently and after ensuring that the baby was dry, she put her in a new diaper and a set of pink polka dot pajamas. After grabbing the bottle that she had prepared before bathtime, Michonne settled into the rocking chair with Judith as the latter sucked down her bottle quickly. Michonne rocked gently as she caressed Judith's soft, honey blonde hair. After a few minutes, Judith's eyes closed and milk dribbled out of her mouth. Michonne removed the bottle and placed it on the nightstand. Although Judith was sleeping, she couldn't bring herself to let go of the beautiful baby and put her in her crib. Rick normally put his daughter to sleep so this was a rare treat for Michonne. Michonne kissed Judith's forehead and continued to rock with the sleeping infant. She was reminded of Andre's bedtime rituals and how sacred it had been between mother and son. And every night, Michonne had kissed her son and said the same thing:

"I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be." Michonne wiped the tears from her eyes as she quoted her favorite children's book, Love Your Forever. It had been two years since she last uttered those words. She missed Andre fiercely with every fiber of her being but somehow being with Judith and Carl helped her in her grief. Loving the children actually brought her closer to Andre and for that she was eternally grateful. She would love all three forever.

"I found Michonne," Rick whispered as Carl slowly came up behind him.

"She's in Judy's room?" Carl whispered back as he leaned around his father to get a better view. A bright smile filled Carl's face as he saw Michonne and Judith still in the rocking chair, sleeping soundly and looking as peaceful as can be.

"Should we wake them?"

"Nah," Carl shook his head. "Let's let our girl sleep."

"Our girls, huh?" Rick couldn't help but grin as he looked back at his son's smiling face.

"Our girls."

Thank you so much for reading, I hope that you liked this one. I have one other one-shot already written so I'll post that one later. I'm also working on one of the Carl requests that I received so hopefully I can post that one soon.

Just a little disclaimer: I do not own Robert N. Munsch's book, Love You Forever. I just borrowed a few lines.
