So let's see if Rick made work on his three promises...Ok this is part 2.
You Want What They Have Part 2
Flashback
One year ago...
"What's with these mind games that you keep playing Michonne? So we're done... again?" Rick said as he had his hands rested on his hips.
"We're done?" Michonne replied, her arms were folded across her chest.
"Ok."
"OK!" she shouted.
Rick shook his head,gripping his fists in a tight ball. He stormed off out of the house they shared and slammed the front door behind him, taking with him all his belongings.
"Me and Rick broke up."
Michonne was currently sitting in Maggie and Glenn's kitchen.
"Again?" Andrea asked. It was no surprise to her as Rick and Michonne were always on, off, on, and now clearly, they were off again.
"Yes again, but for good this time," taking a sip of her lemonade.
"So, you're done?" Maggie piped in.
"Yeah done."
"Like done, done?" Sasha asked. looking between Maggie and Andrea.
"Yes! Done, done!"
"How many ways can you be done? Gees Michonne," Maggie leaned in further onto the table.
"I am telling you we're done."
"Michonne do you think this is game? Why do you keep doing this to him?" Andrea moaned at her. She was annoyed by both of their immaturity and their games over the last few years.
"You're supposed to be on my side. You're my friend- I knew you first! I knew you before he did."
"It's not about sides. It's about knowing when you're wrong, and you're in the wrong!" Andrea snapped pushing her chair slightly back to look at Michonne.
"Oh, what would you know?" Michonne yelled back.
Andrea scoffed a laugh "Excuse you?"
"I didn't mean it like that!"
"Why did you break up this time?" Sasha asked still looking confused.
"We just argue over the littlest things. Then make up with sex and it just escalates so quickly. I just think we started too young and were serious too soon. We are constantly fighting. We have different views about what we want and he just doesn't understand. He just disagrees with me and everything I do."
"You dated for five years and have been friends since college. That's a heck of a long time for friendship and a relationship to end." Andrea softened her tone of voice.
"Well, it has and there's nothing more to say," Michonne said as she walked off away from the table.
"She's going to regret it." Sasha said.
"Doesn't she always?" Andrea replied.
"Hmm, she does." Maggie answered.
A Few Weeks Later...
"Guess who I just saw out on a date?" Sasha said as she rushed into the restaurant sitting at the table with her girlfriends.
"Who?" Andrea asked.
"Rick! And he's in the same restaurant as us." She whispered.
"No, who's he with?" Maggie acted surprised trying to see from her seat if she could see the pair out on a date.
"Some woman with long brown hair, I think her name is Lori. But she aint no Michonne."
"Don't tell Michonne, she will flip out and I hope she doesn't see them," Andrea said as she messed with the menu in her hands.
"Don't tell Michonne what?" Michonne asked as she took a seat back at the table.
"Oh...erm Rick." Sasha spoke with caution.
She rolled her eyes.
"What about Rick?" she asked whilst taking a sip of her ice cold water.
"I saw Rick. He looked like he was on a date with some woman," Sasha replied trying to gage her friend's reaction.
"He's over there," she pointed to the corner of the room, where all the booths were lined up. Michonne turned her head to where Sasha was pointing and there was her ex- boyfriend out on a date.
"Seems like I am not hungry anymore girls- suddenly lost my appetite," she grabbed her bag off the floor and her coat off the back of the chair. She started to walk out of the restaurant.
"We didn't even get to order," Sasha stood up from the table.
It was too late. Michonne had already left the table and was heading towards the doors. But before she left, she turned to look at Rick and his date one last time. Rick looked up at her the same time and his mouth dropped open. He got up from the table leaving his date behind.
"Michonne."
She was gone by the time he made it out onto the street. Rick looked left and right but Michonne was nowhere in sight. Rick ran his hand over his face letting out a huff. He headed back inside to his date, the date he was never even interested in with.
Later that night...
Rick received a text message.
Michonne: Hope you and your new girlfriend had fun tonight. Why would you even bring her to our favourite restaurant? Of all the places!
Rick: She's not my girlfriend. What would it be to you, you broke up with me, remember?
Michonne: Ok!
She threw her phone across her bed in a fit of rage. Michonne was being stubborn to admit that maybe she had made a mistake. But it was too late now as it seemed Rick had moved on. That night Michonne cried herself to sleep thinking of Rick making love to another woman.
One month later...
Michonne: Another date? Wow Rick. Moving on fast aren't we?
Her friends had told her they had seen Rick around town with another woman. Gabby, Gabriel, she didn't care what her name was. It just annoyed her that he was on another date and she hadn't been on any dates. No matter how many times Mike asked her out it was still a NO. It would always be a no.
Rick: ...
Rick: Michonne why are you doing this again. Why are you messaging me? You told me you didn't wasn't us anymore. For someone who said they aren't bothered about breaking us up, you seem to be very bothered.
She wasn't bothered. Ok she lied, she was bothered. The fact that Rick could be potentially kissing some other woman, making love to her, or planning a future bothered her. She knew she made a mistake.
Michonne: Rick! delete my number and don't talk to me EVER again!
Rick: Okay, if that is what you want.
Michonne: FINE!
"Fine!" she screamed out loud.
Rick didn't text Michonne back or speak to her again. What she didn't count on that it would be over a year before her and Rick would speak or see each other again.
End of Flashback
Present
Rick and Michonne were married two months later after Glenn and Maggie's engagement party.
It was a small intimate ceremony and they got married outside on a warm July afternoon. It had the perfect feel of a country wedding. The guests were sitting on freshly cut haystacks, which were decorated with light grey, white and baby pink cloths.
They were married by their long-time friend, Father Gabriel.
Rick got his parents to help with the big day since they were getting married on their family farm.
When Rick told his mom that him and Michonne were finally getting married she said, "Rick, you're not giving me enough time." His ma had complained until he started telling her about the ideas for the wedding.
"Ma, can you do it or not?" he asked.
"Yeah. Of course, you know that I can," she smiled placing her hands on his cheeks, rubbing them softly.
His ma, Sarah, was happy that he and Michonne were finally getting married. After years of them searching, they realized that what they were looking for was already in front of them. Michonne and Sarah had remained close over the last few years, even after Rick and Michonne had split up. She knew no one was going to replace Michonne, no one was better suited to be a partner for her son.
When Michonne had told her friends that they were getting married, they were all surprised.
"Wasn't it just last week that you two were not even talking to each other?" Sasha pulled her face.
"Was being the word. keep up Sasha," Maggie replied as she ran a hand over her small baby bump.
"Married? You and Rick?" Andrea looked just as confused as her other best friends.
"When?" Maggie asked.
"Two months from today," Michonne replied with a smile.
"What! Are you kidding me," Sasha spat.
These two just went from one extreme to the other. There was no in-between. Sasha was hoping that they were both taking this seriously. Marriage was a big commitment and for two people that were on, off, and then on again, there was no telling what the future held.
Michonne had worn a beautiful lace fitted dress with sweetheart neck-line and a fishtail hem. She wore her locs down in curly waves. She had a baby pink coloured rose flower bouquet with diamantes in the centre of the flowers. She completed the look with her mom's veil.
Sasha, Andrea, Rosita, and Maggie were all bridesmaids. They all had worn light grey halter neck dresses that stopped just short of the knee. They had a 50's style skirt with a tulle fabric overlay. They all had ivory rose bouquet flowers.
The groomsmen Shane, Glenn, and Daryl wore grey suits with baby pink bow ties. Rick wore a light grey suit with an ivory bow tie.
Their wedding reception was in the old barn that had been converted for the day.
Inside the barn was decorated with grey cotton table cloths with pink and ivory flower decorations in the middle. There were candles around the centre pieces for added effect. On the way into the barn, were lantern lights, which sat outside the entrance leading up to the rustic wooden barn doors.
His mom had done well with the wedding preparations and everything had looked amazing.
There was an outside bar, a photo booth, a specialised wedding guestbook which was made from wood that was carved from an old oak tree that had been on their family farm for years. The guests could sign and send their well wishes for the happy couple.
There were homemade beers from the Grimes farm. The food that was served was pulled pork burgers, chicken wings, Mac and cheese, potato salad, and coleslaw with a range of desserts such as pumpkin and pecan pie.
They had a country singer who sang live throughout the ceremony and into the evening until it was time for a DJ to play current music. So they could all have a dance.
It had been an amazing wedding day and night. That night, Rick made love to his new wife until the early hours of the morning.
They now were married.
They had only been husband and wife for a few days when they found out they were expecting a baby. Michonne and Rick had conceived at Maggie and Glenn's engagement party.
She had thought back to that night and how Rick had broken up with Jessie but she said she understood. Jessie declined Rick's offer to get her a cab because she had been eyeing some guy named Spencer.
They both wanted to start a fresh start and were looking to buy a new home. The house they bought has four bedrooms, 2 ½ bathed home with a big garden in the front and a larger back yard in the back. It was more then they needed right now, but they knew they wanted to expand their family and would need the added space. It was a lot of stress before the baby would be born but it would be worth it in the long run. Their original home only had two bedrooms and was too small for their growing family.
They now had the house.
Current Present In Time...
Currently 8 ½ months pregnant and she would be due any day now. Michonne was unpacking the last of the moving boxes. She had been on maternity leave for the last few weeks.
Michonne had started nesting the last week, which was a little later than usual. All she had done was wash clothes, prepare the nursery, and fold tiny little body suits, socks and bibs. And Michonne had to re fold them when Rick folded them the wrong way. Rick had just wanted to help but he was just getting in the way, so she was thankful that today he was at work.
She heard the key in the lock turn and Rick stepped inside the front door. Knowing that her husband was home, she un-wrapped the last few ornaments from the bubble wrap.
Rick came to stand behind Michonne, kissing her lips as she half turned in his arms. He rubbed a hand over her big belly, stroking his hands up and down her bump.
"How are both my babies doing today?" he asked.
"We're doing well, I think the baby missed the sound of your voice today."
"Yeah, well at least someone did, since you think I am annoying and just get in the way," he joked.
She swatted his shoulder forcing him to release her from his grip.
Since they had gotten back together, things were good, better than good. They talked more and both compromised on situations that they didn't agree on. It all worked better this time around.
Rick crouched down onto one knee, looking and speaking to her big belly.
"Hey, its daddy again, glad you missed me today...unlike someone," he looked up to Michonne with a cheeky grin.
She shook her head and smiled down at her husband.
Later That Night...
"Yeah baby, arch your back for me. Let me get in a little deeper."
Michonne sat up on her knees so her lower half was now lowered even more resting her plump ass on his thighs. She was now just sitting up on her knees when Rick had hit a different angle.
"Ohh...that's it," Rick groaned into her ear.
"Mmm," she gasped as Rick had hit that forbidden spot.
They were limited to certain sex positions, so from behind had become their new favourite position over the last few months.
Rick thrust his hips and gripping onto hers as he kept running his hands down her smooth back. Her head hung low slightly with a few loose dreads hanging down. Michonne was looking down at their white bed sheets concentrating on that inevitable orgasm.
The sound of her husband's grunts were turning her on even more.
"Rick... ohhh," she sighed.
"Why does it feel so good baby huh? Tell me," Rick panted as he continued to slide himself in and out of her slick folds.
He slapped her ass cheeks watching it jiggle before him with each thrust.
"You get me so wet every time Rick. You make it perfect so that you slide in and out just right," she said as another moan escaped her lips.
"Oh, I do?" he questioned, sucking and kissing on the side of her neck.
"HMM mmm," she cried out.
Rick looked back down at his wife. Her body had changed over the last few months. She had become even curvier and he loved the places she now filled out even more. Her breasts had doubled in size now spilling out of his hands whenever he grabbed a handful. Her hips became wider ready for when she delivers their baby. Her dark coffee coloured legs had gotten a little thicker and her ass even more rounder, wiggling perfectly every time she walked.
Michonne leaned forward onto her hands and twisted the bed sheets in knots. She widened her knees more so that Rick slipped in even further. He was deep. Balls deep. He spread her cheeks watching himself enter her slickness which coated his length.
Rick halted all his movements, squeezing her cheeks between his fingertips. Michonne started to rotate circles around his girth. He watched the woman he loves slowly rotate her hips and it was memorising. He bit down on his bottom lip studying her curvaceous ass.
"Ahhh," she moaned, her eyes closed shut as she gripped the sheets, even tighter.
He quickened his pace as he was close. The mattress beneath them bouncing because of Rick's quick movements.
She whimpered.
Michonne's orgasm waved over her only intensifying at the end. Rick slowed down his pace as he emptied himself into her drenched walls. They both were now a hot, sticky, and sweaty mess.
When their breathing finally calmed down, Rick and Michonne both took a shower together.
Before climbing into bed, she threw on one of Rick's oversized grey t-shirts, as that's all that fitted her at bed time now. Rick had to admit he missed the baby doll lingerie that she used to wear every night. But knowing she was comfortable and wearing his clothes made him happy. Plus, she could pull off anything and still be beautiful to him.
Michonne lifted Rick's arm up and lay with her head on his chest. They stayed cuddled up in bed catching up on the latest episode of The Walking Dead.
The Next Morning...
Rick had already left for work and Michonne was sitting in the nursery on the cream carpeted floor.
They had decided not to find out what they were having. Rick and Michonne wanted it to be a surprise as it would be their first child. So, everything they bought was currently in the colour white.
But they did make a decision on how to decorate the nursery if it was a girl. In would be yellow and grey with white furniture accessories. If it was a boy they would decorate it a cowboy and horse themed bedroom with dark mahogany wood furniture, which was Rick's idea. Michonne did love that idea for their baby's room if it was a boy.
A few moments later she felt a pain shoot across her lower stomach. She rubbed her baby bump trying to soothe the pain. Michonne took a few deep breaths waiting for the pain to pass, which it eventually did.
"Those Braxton hicks again," Michonne thought to herself as she carried on folding the tiny little romper suits into the wicker baskets.
But then ten minutes later there was another pain in the same place. Michonne rubbed her stomach again but this felt different, this felt like it was lasting longer.
"Ohhhh!" she groaned.
Michonne scrambled for her iPhone. She dialled Rick's number waiting for him to pick up on the first ring like he always does.
"Hey, you ok? Everythan ok with the baby?" her husband asked.
"Well if you let me get a word in, I can tell you!" she snapped at Rick, closing her eyes for a few seconds.
"OK," he replied. Michonne's hormones had been every were the last few months so he took it lightly when she shouted at him. As he knew it wasn't her fault and she was carrying their child after all.
"I am sorry. I think I am in labour," She breathed heavily.
He was speechless.
"You need to come home quick and take me to the hospital," she cried.
"Ok, I am on my way now, I love you," Rick said quickly as he reached for his jacket running to his SUV.
"I love you too bye."
She ended the phone call unable to move as the pain had increased.
15 minutes later and Rick came racing through his front door.
"MICHONNE!" he shouted.
"I am up here Rick. In the nursery," she gasped with pain.
Rick came into the nursery bending down.
"Can you move baby?" he asked.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Ok," Rick helped Michonne up to her feet. She leaning all her weight on to him as they walked out to the landing.
"Do you think it was last night and the sex? Maybe I was too deep baby."
"Hmmm maybe," she moaned into the crook of Rick's neck.
"SShhh ok," he rubbed her back as he helped her though her contraction.
They stopped at the top of the stairs the pain starting to ease off slightly.
"The bag... it's in our bedroom. You need to go and get it," she breathed.
"You going to be ok? Just for a few minutes, Chonne?" Rick asked.
She nodded whilst grabbing onto the banister waiting for Rick to grab their hospital bag, as more pains came.
There was a loud thud.
"What was that noise?" she asked breathing in and out.
"Nothan, I just fell. Well tripped actually..."
She shook her head laughing amused at her husband's clumsiness. Somehow Rick was still making Michonne laugh and smile even when she was in the most excruciating pain.
Rick appeared back at her side.
"Why are you smiling?" Michonne looked up at her husband's face. He looked so handsome in this light.
Rick placed his hand on her bump.
"Well in a few hours' time we're finally going to meet our baby," he grinned.
She smiled. Stroking the side of his face with her finger tips and placing a kiss on his lips. This man warmed her heart. After all the years of her not knowing what she wanted and it had been staring at her all along. Michonne wouldn't be taking it for granted ever again.
"Come on let's get you to the hospital," Rick placed a kiss on her wrist before Michonne leaned all her weight back onto Rick.
Rick and Michonne made it in the hospital in quick time. Rick broke about 20 speed limits and restrictions in that time frame, but honestly he didn't care. He just wanted to get his wife to the hospital and make sure his new born baby and Michonne were both safe.
It wasn't Braxton hicks that Michone had been experiencing for the last few days, it was slow labour pains. Last night's sex had helped them move along massively this morning, turning into full labour.
Michonne had explained to the doctors and had to remind them that they didn't know what they were having. She reminded them that she wanted Rick to tell her whether she had given birth to boy or a girl.
16 hours later and only gas and air used and few thousand curse words later, it was time for Michonne to push.
After several pushes and words of encouragement from Rick, Michonne pushed her final push that would deliver their 7lbs and 6oz baby into the world.
There was a high-pitched cry that echoed throughout the hospital room. Tears slipped from the corners of Michonne's eyes from the joy of just given birth and for the pain now to be finally over.
"Here Rick, do you want to cut the cord?" he nodded, his eyes red and puffy from the tears that were being shed.
Rick cut the cord detaching mother and baby.
Doctor Denise wrapped the baby in a blanket clearing some of the mucus off the bundle of joy.
"So, dad you want to hold your baby?" she smiled.
"Yeah," he swallowed, his throat feeling dry. Rick stretched his hands out before him to welcome the special gift in his arms.
Denise handed the tiny tot over to Rick.
"Rick, what did we have, tell me please?" Michonne whispered.
Rick opened the blanket up slightly to reveal what they had.
"A son. Michonne we have a son," Rick cried.
"What are you going to call him?" nurse Tara asked.
"Carl. Carl Richard Grimes," Michonne spoke. Looking up at her husband and new baby son.
Rick leaned down careful not to squash Carl. He pecked his wife's lips as more tears slipped from the corner of his eyes.
"Hey little man, I am your daddy and over there is your beautiful mommy. She did so well today. I think she only hit me about 10 times, during the whole entire time we were waiting on you," he chuckled through his tears as he rocked the little infant in his arms.
Michonne laughed as she watched her husband's interaction with their son Carl.
She no longer had to want what anyone else had, because Michonne got her happy ending and Rick had promised everything he said he would do. They had a beautiful four bed room home. They had the best wedding day and now they had a baby. Carl Richard Grimes.
