Glad To Be Back
After Tara left the room to tell everyone the good news about Carl, Michonne helped him to sit up and eat. His strength was slowly returning and the color in his cheeks was already back to normal. He told them he had a dream, that he was looking for Andre and he couldn't find him. Carl looked up at Michonne with a sad expression upon his face. Michonne could tell that the dream bothered him. She held his hand and told him that while he slept, they heard him call her son's name.
"I'm sorry Michonne. I searched everywhere but couldn't find him.", Carl said looking quite sad and disappointed.
"I am glad you didn't find him.", Michonne said. Her eyes glossed over.
"Why?", Carl asked.
"Because where he is, you do not belong there.", Michonne said and a tear rolled down her face.
Rick reached out and put his hand on Michonne's shoulder. He couldn't imagine the pain she was going through in losing a child. No parent should ever have to go through that. He had learned later on that when they were outside of Terminus, that she shared her story about Andre with Carl. Maybe it was something his son needed to hear at the time but he believed it saved his son and helped him to deal with being attacked by Joe's rapist henchman. This is one of the reasons why he believed that in more ways than one that Michonne was his son's mother. Not only was she nurturing, she was remarkable at connecting with him. Practically from day one they had formed a special closeness and since then, they have gotten closer.
"But, I wanted to find him and tell him you miss him.", Carl said. He sounded as though he failed at a mission.
"I miss him every day. I'd like to believe he knows this. But, I am glad you made it back.", Michonne replied wiping her eyes.
She was touched by the fact that even though Carl had never met her son, he was thinking of him so much that he dreamed about him. When she first told him about Andre, he carried it with him and it came out in his dreams. He always wanted to help her and thought by telling Andre that she missed him, that this was one way he could do something to ease her pain.
"I'm glad to be back.", Carl said smiling and held out his arms and she hugged him.
Not long after the word got out that Carl was awake, everyone close to him came to see him. Within a few minutes, the room was filled with people smiling and laughing you would think that there was a party going on. The mood was upbeat and happy that even Carl cracked a few jokes. He seemed to be well on his way to getting better. Denise looked him over and was pleased with his progress. The wound above his eye needed to be cleaned and his bandages changed but other than that, he felt he was ready to go home.
"Young man, you are still weak. You are staying here for observation one more night.", Denise said.
"Aw. But I have my own room now and I want to sleep in it.", Carl pouted and grinned at the same time.
"Carl!", Michonne and Rick chimed at the same time.
It was too late. The cat was out of the bag. Everyone besides Tara laughed on realizing that Michonne and Rick were now a couple. Daryl was the first to give Rick a congratulatory slap on the back before the other gents came around and did the same. The girls crowded around Michonne hugged her and giggled excitedly. Tobin looked at Abe and handed him a cigar.
"Well, it's about time!", Glenn exclaimed.
"Okay. The side show is over. Carl needs his rest. Y'all need to skedaddle now and give this fine family some privacy.", Carol clapped and ushered everyone including herself out.
When all got quiet again, Carl looked at Michonne and Rick with a huge grin on his face.
"I am happy for you guys. Sorry I blurted out that piece of info just now.", he confessed but his face clearly didn't look it. He looked more happy than guilty.
"I guess it was bound to come out some day. Apparently some people made bets on when it was going to happen.", Rick said holding Judith. She began to squirm and fuss.
"Were we that obvious?", Michonne asked looking at Rick.
"Um. Yah! We all knew that you two liked each other. Especially you Dad. You wouldn't quit staring at Michonne.", Carl affirmed.
"I do love to look at her.", Rick admitted and gave his love a smile.
Rick excused himself and took Judith over to the sofa to change her diaper.
"And what do you think of me and your dad?", Michonne asked Carl.
"Well, I'd love if you two made it official.", Carl said loudly. He deliberately wanted his father to hear him.
Rick heard all right. When he was through changing Judith, he stood up with her in his arms. From across the room, he exchanged looks with Michonne. They smiled and both nodded, yes. Rick walked up to her and she threw her arms around him. Just then, Father Gabe entered the room.
"I forgot my Bible.", he said and walked over to where it was resting on the night table next to Carl's bed.
"Perfect timing Father Gabe.", Rick said. His arm wrapped was around Michonne's waist.
"We would like you to marry us.", Michonne said smiling and wiping her eyes.
"Hey. How about right here, right now.", Carl suggested smiling from ear to ear.
"Yes?", Rick said questioningly looking at Michonne.
"Yes!", she replied. She was more than certain.
Father Gabe smiled and opened his Bible and read the scriptures. Then, in a few minutes, it was all over. Michonne and Rick were married.
Later at Night
Michonne and Rick spent their first night as a married couple in the house together alone. They hadn't told the everyone else yet about their marriage and Carl vowed to keep it a secret. Rosita and Abe kept Judith until the next morning. Tonight was their night. After they made love, they relaxed in bed perfectly naked and satieted.
"I'm happy.", Rick announced. He hugged Michonne warmly while she rested her head on his chest.
"Me too.", Michonne responded.
"Do you love me?", Rick asked. He knew the answer but he wanted to hear it from her.
"Yes. I do. With all my heart. I love you Rick Grimes.", Michonne said when she looked up at him.
"I love you too Michonne Grimes.", Rick said softly and they both kissed.
They paused and looked at each other.
With Michonne in his arms, Rick looked down at her and he could see in her eyes that she loved him. He whispered in her ear, "I want you.", because he knew she was thinking the very same thing. She smiled and a single tear fell from her eye. He kissed the tear away. Slowly he parted her legs and entered her. She gasped and moved her body along with his. While they made love, he felt as though his soul was set free. He had never felt this way with any other woman before. He watched her as he moved inside of her. Her eyes closed and her mouth slightly opened, she sighed sweetly as her entered her again and again. She spread her legs wider for him, he thrust his cock deeper. She moaned. He loved the sounds she made. Wrapping her legs around him, the heels of her feet dug into his buttocks, urging him on. She opened her eyes and looked at him taking in her beauty. His cheeks were flushed and his lips blood red. He dipped his head to hers and kissed her soft pillowy lips. He felt her inner walls contracting around his hardness. Pulsating and contracting. The wave-like sensations made him harder, made him moan her name.
"Michonne. Michonne."
"Hmm. I want you on top.", he rasped eagerly.
He pulled out and changed position. Lying on his back, his cock pointing skyward, she obliged and climbed on.
"Oh! Hmm!", she exclaimed. Now that he was deeper inside, she quivered in ecstasy. She moved up and down the length of him, her juices flowed even more. Her thick, white, creaminess coated him, his cock, his balls glistened. She was wet and he was loving it. Excited he moved in tandem with her seductive motions. Up and down he moved, deeper and deeper in her core. She closed her eyes and raised her arms above her head and tilted her head to one side. Her lips parted slightly and she sighed his name,
"Rick."
Michonne, seductive in the way she moved, felt, and sounded. He watched her gyrate on him, taking him in whole. Michonne. Beautiful. A goddess. Perfection. He held onto her thighs and moved in and out of her with increasing speed. She threw her arms behind her and held onto his muscular legs for support. He pounded her from below and watched her bounce along with each and every thrust. Her eyes were now closed, her head thrown back, she smiled to herself enjoying the ride. Her breasts, full and round, bounced up and down. He reached up and squeezed them. They felt like jewels in his hands. Soft, warm, delightful jewels. He sat up and latched onto one breast with his mouth. He sucked and she moaned. She climaxed and he felt it. Now he couldn't hold back.
He wrapped his arms around her and flipped her onto her back and pounded her pussy hard and fast and deep. The tension started to build. Then, he pounded her one last time. He groaned in her ear as he ejaculated. Her body twitched as she rode out orgasm after orgasm. Not wanting to leave, he reluctantly pulled out. He rolled onto his back, breathless. He looked at her and smiled while breathing heavily. He reached for her and pulled her to him. She felt right in his arms. She hugged him tightly and kissed his chest. In silence, they held each other.
