"You do realize that Carl is over there peeing in the grass right?"
"Yeah, he's declared Colt as his brother and whatever Colt does he wants to do. It's just a little pee." Michonne shrugged her shoulders not too worried about it.
"I don't know why I'm surprised. I've seen plenty of grown men pee on sidewalks in my lifetime, I guess it's just part of the male DNA makeup."
"It's easier this way too, but Rick and I drew the line at poop. That requires a toilet." Andrea chuckled at Michonne and they both looked over at Carl who was finishing up and walking back to the pool with his dinosaur floaties on his arms.
"Hey Judy." Andrea started talking to Judith. "Your baby's almost here. Are you excited?"
"My baby." Judith said pointing to her mama's belly.
"Yes, your baby's almost here." Andrea clapped and so did Judith grinning from ear to ear.
"Yes, maybe if we ask nicely he'll hurry up and come out, huh. We're ready for him." Michonne said to a smiling Judith who was vigorously kicking her legs underneath the water.
"Does it seem like he's ready to come out?" Andrea asked her as she stared at her very round belly.
"Look". Michonne pointed to her belly and Andrea watched the baby moving against Michonne's stomach.
"What is that?" Andrea pressed on an unknown body part that was poking out making an impression on Michonne's skin.
"An elbow or a foot? Tickle it and see if it moves." Andrea looked up at Michonne. "I'm serious." Michonne ran her finger across the protruding body part and it retracted back to where it came from. "Foot." Michonne said to a perplexed looking Andrea. "See what you have to look forward to?"
"I'm having Shane's kid, it'll probably just be it's ass sticking out all the time." Andrea joked. "Hey baby." Andrea spoke to Michonne's belly. "Come out tomorrow, it's the Fourth of July. Your birthday will always be a party and you won't have to go to work."
"Andrea, if your voice makes him come out tomorrow I will name him after you. I'm so over being pregnant."
"Awe, you hear that baby. Now you have to come out so you can have a kick ass name."
"Mama, I'm hungry."
"Okay Pumpkin, it's time for lunch anyways." They all got out of the pool and made their way to the house.
"Is Beth coming by today?"
"No. She wanted to take some summer courses and with the baby coming…."
"Tomorrow." Andrea interjected
"With the baby coming soon, I told her to go ahead and I'd let her know when we need her again. Ms. Evelyn will be here all the time and Rick is taking time off from the station, so it's not like they'll be an absence of hands on deck here."
"With three little ones, you'll need all the hands you can get."
"Yep. Don't be surprised if I call you over to change a diaper or two."
"I'll only let you do that two, three times tops. And only if you name mini Grimes the III after me."
"The deal was if he or she comes tomorrow. Fingers crossed."
"Look at you Michonne, I think your belly has dropped since I got here. Have you tried spicy foods?" Michonne handed plates to Andrea to give to the kids along with some juice.
"Ugh. I get heartburn from just drinking water these days. I can't handle spicy food right now." She handed a plate to Andrea and then sat down to eat.
"What about nipple stimulation. I was reading about that in one of my books."
"You're already reading the books huh?"
"Yeah, gotta know what's going on with this body of mine. I'm making a baby." Andrea said proudly.
"It's amazing isn't it?"
"I'm growing a fucking human inside of me. It boggles my mind. You make it look so easy, I just hope I still remember how to brush my teeth when I get as far along as you. I've been reading about mommy brain too, how you forget all kinds of things. I know that's gonna be me."
"Do you not see all the helping hands that come through here? All you have to do is ask and someone will be there to remind you to brush your teeth."
"I'll give you $200 if you tell me."
"I'm not telling you Abe, could you give it up already."
"No Tara, I can't. Tell me who the daddy is."
"You are unbelievable. Why do you care so much?"
"Because I'd almost give my left testicle to hear that it's Eugene. All you have to do is confirm it." Tara opened her desk drawer and pulled out a pair of scissors and held them up.
"The left one?"
"Damnit. I already asked Eugene and he ain't saying shit. I've known his ass for years and he's never been this tight lipped about anything."
"So you think because he's finally learned to keep a secret, it has to be him?"
"That and the fact that the three of y'all live under the same roof and Denise thinks he's the best thing since sweet tea on a hot Georgia day."
"I don't know what to tell you Abe." Tara sighed. "That's a pretty impressive theory you have there and I have to admit that a Denise/ Eugene baby would be a genius, more likely than anyone to take over the world, but I'm still not telling you."
"Oh come on Tara."
"You still giving her shit about her baby man?" Shane asked Abe.
"All I need is a yes or no."
"Just give it up Ford." Shane shook his head. "How's that baby girl of yours doing?"
"Oh she's brilliant." Abe looked pointedly at Tara. "She'll be saying daddy any day now."
"It's a bit too early for that Abe." Tara responded.
"Yeah, in the books I've been reading the first word isn't said until about seven or eight months." Abe looked at Shane with wide eyes. "What?"
"You've been reading those pregnancy books?"
"Well yeah. How else am I supposed to know what's going on?"
"Good for you Shane. It's hard being on the outside looking in sometimes. Denise tries to tell me as much as she can with what's going on with her, but descriptions only go so far."
"Yeah I know what you mean." Shane nodded his head seeming to go deep into thought.
"Shit man, do I need to check your ass for ovaries? You're getting too deep with this pregnancy stuff."
"You do know the ovaries aren't in the ass right Abe?" Tara asked him smiling.
"Ford, Chambers, Walsh. Y'all looking for something to do?" Rick asked walking up to them.
"Not really." Abe said straightening up to stand straight.
"Well, y'all have your assignments for tomorrow right?"
"Yep. I'll be at the parade in the morning." Tara answered.
"Walsh and I got fireworks tomorrow night." Abe said.
"Good, make sure you're keeping an eye out for anything suspicious. Y'all know the drill."
"Yeah we do." Shane said.
"Now when I go out on leave, don't have Reynolds calling me telling me that y'all are standing around not doing anything. If I have to come up here all y'all will be on foot patrol until Carl turns 10. Got it?"
"Got it." They all said in understanding.
"Good." Rick said. "Ford, I cancelled your training class for the afternoon. Go with these two, they'll need your muscle for an eviction down at Ferry rd."
"Hey I've got muscles." Tara said a bit offended.
"Me too." Shane said flexing.
"Those are cute you two, but sometimes you just need the big guns." Abe raised his arms over his head and brought them brown slow into an exaggerated flex, showing off his huge arm muscles and the impressive way his sleeves stretched around them.
"Y'all done?" Rick asked not amused.
"Yeah boss." Abe said.
"Go to work."
"Well if it isn't the Sheriff, what can I do for you today Rick?"
"How you doing Morgan? I just came by to get those little cheese cubes for Carl and Judith and a slice of that honey pecan cheesecake for Michonne."
"Just one slice?"
"Yeah, she'll fuss if I get more and she ends up getting heartburn from eating it all." Rick smiled.
"Sounds like the way my wife was." Morgan looked away for a bit thinking about his late wife. "Yeah, she'd get heartburn from breathing those last few days before our son was born. How much longer do y'all have?"
"Any day now I suppose."
"Father of three. I can't believe how fast things have gone. From seeing you down on one knee proposing to watching you about to welcome another baby into this world. I'm happy for the both of you."
"Thank you Morgan, that means a lot to us."
"And the more mouths you have to feed, the more cheese you'll come and buy."
"I can't argue with you there." Rick paid for his purchase and walked out of the store headed down the sidewalk to get jerky from Daryl.
"Hey Rick, what's up man?"
"Well this is a sight I never thought I'd be seeing." Daryl held out his arms in the air.
"Hey man don't judge, Sasha made me do it."
"She made you strap the baby to your chest?"
"It's called a baby carrier and Hunter loves it." Daryl rubbed his hand over his sleeping sons back. "You here for your usual?" Rick nodded his answer.
"It looks like he does." Rick smiled at his friend who was taking to fatherhood with great ease. "Where's Sasha today?"
"Went to the doctor so it's just me and this little guy. I'm not as soft as her in the chest area, but I got him to fall asleep."
"Must be your soft gentle grunts."
"That must be it."
"Y'all got plans for tomorrow?" Rich asked him.
"You mean for our anniversary? Nah, just hanging out and watching the fireworks from the house. Might swing by and pick something up from Morgan later. What about the Grimes clan, is Eugene doing fireworks this year over there?"
"I think Eugene wants to stay close to home this year. We do too, if I'm being honest, the baby could come any minute, gotta be close to the birthing center."
"Yeah I guess so. They've got a revolving door over there just for y'all don't they?"
"Just give me my stuff Dixon."
"Daddy!"
"Hey buddy, what you doing?" Rick hugged Carl and carried him through the living room. "Where's mama and Judith?" Carl pointed ahead of them and then looked around Rick trying to see the bag that was in his hand. "Don't you worry, you'll get some in a little bit." He dropped the bag off in the kitchen and walked to where he could hear Michonne's voice. "Hey you two." He said walking into their bedroom to see Michonne and Judith on the floor playing with a few toys.
"Hey, you're home early." Michonne tried to get up, but quickly realized that the task was too much for her alone. She looked up at Rick and blew out a breath with a pout.
"Let me help you up." He placed Carl on the floor. "Come on Carl, let's help mama."
"Yes please Carl. Your mama is feeling like a big ole whale right now and she can't get up by herself."
"Well you look beautiful." Rick placed his hands on her belly once she was steady on her feet and kissed her lips. "He ready yet?"
"I wish he or she was. Andrea came by earlier and told him to come out tomorrow. I told her we'd name him after her if he did."
"I'm not having a kid named Andrea." Rick said sternly against Michonne's laugh.
"Eat mama."
"You hungry Penny pie?" Judith nodded her head and reached up for Michonne to pick her up, but Rick got to her before Michonne could.
"Let's get you some food then." Rick told Judith.
"There's some chicken salad in the fridge that your mama brought over earlier."
"That sounds perfect, huh Judy?" He sat her in her high chair and then Carl, while Michonne got out bread and fruit for the meal and Rick poured milk in cups for the kids and water for Michonne and grabbed a beer for himself.
"You brought home treats?" Michonne asked about the bags on the counter.
"Oh yeah." He got up and opened the bag bringing out the container filled with cheese cubes. Carl and Judith clapped when they saw the familiar The Cheese Maker logo. He put a few cubes on each of their plates and then handed Michonne her cheesecake.
"You really do love me." She joked after smelling the delicious dessert. "It smells so good."
"Thought you'd like it."
"Let me feed the baby first and I'll eat this after we put the kids to bed."
"Do I get a piece?"
"Is there another slice in that bag?" She smiled, but he knew she wasn't joking. She sat down to eat her food and she watched Carl and Judith feed cheese to Rick when he asked for some. "They took baths earlier after lunch since we went swimming. They'll probably both pass right out once their heads hit the pillow."
"Did you swim today Carl?" Rick asked him.
"Yes, like a fish." Carl said proud of himself.
"Like a fish? Wow. A big fish?" Carl nodded his head smiling through a mouthful of food. "Did you and Judy find any sharks in there?"
"No sharks daddy." Carl laughed
"Are you sure? We'll have to check next time." Carl looked over at Michonne to see if her face would give anything away about sharks in the pool, but her shoulder shrug and brow raise didn't help him in the slightest.
"When you're all done eating we'll get ready for bed. Tomorrow we can go to the parade and see all the floats and then we'll watch the fireworks at nighttime." Carl threw his arms up and made the sound of fireworks that made Judith giggle. "Okay sillies, y'all finish up and daddy will read a story tonight."
"How many books did you have to read?"
"Just one and I didn't even get to finish before their eyes were closed."
"They like the voices you make when you read."
"You never knew I was so talented did you?" He asked her jokingly as he walked to the bathroom to take a shower.
"I've known for a long time just how talented that mouth of yours is." She winked at him when he looked over at her.
"Just give me ten minutes Michonne."
"For what Rick."
"You're gonna find out." He listened to her laugh as he walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He was washed, rinsed and mostly dry in nine minutes and forty five seconds. Walking back into the bedroom drying his hair with a towel. Michonne eyed his abs that sat above his low slung towel resting on his hips.
"You weren't kidding about the ten minutes were you?"
"Nope. I thought you knew that about me by now." He walked over to the bed sitting down and placing her feet in his lap, slyly brushing her toes against his increasing hardness.
"You're unbelievably." Michonne shook her head. "How do you have that same look in your eyes no matter what I look like?"
"You always look the same to me." He squeezed her foot, making sure to rub the part that made her squirm and close her eyes at the same time. "You're beautiful at any angle and no matter what you think you look like, it's never gonna compare to how I see you." He started to move his body up on the bed to get closer to her.
"You're always gonna want me, no matter how huge I get?"
"I'll always want you. No matter what." He said with finality.
"You taking that towel off any time soon?"
"Yeah, there's something up under here for you." Michonne moved to all fours situating her hands and knees on either side of his legs staring down at his towel the whole time. She nipped his dick quickly with her teeth through the towel, smiling when Rick groaned quietly. She lifted her head and aimed her lips for his mouth. He brought his hands to her hair, combing his fingers through her locs before settling them around the back of her neck. She kissed him hard and he kissed her back moaning into her and sucking on her lips and tongue. Michonne pulled away much too quick for Rick's liking, but her lips swiftly found there way around his hard dick. "Shit." Her head bobbed up and down along his shaft to the soundtrack of her moans and the wetness of her mouth plus the occasional fuck Rick threw out. Her head went up and down ten more times before he placed his hands on her shoulders to stop her and put a pause on the eruption she was trying to draw out of him. "Damn, I give baby." He breathed out. "You pick the position tonight. What do you feel like?"
"I'm already in the position I want." She crawled back a little to allow him to get behind her. She heard him take a deep breath as he admired the new view of her. She wiggled her hips from side to side and he slid her purple panties down her legs, tapping her knees one at a time when she could lift them so he could take them completely off. His fingers found her wetness just as her panties hit the floor.
"You get this wet from having my dick in your mouth?"
"Mmm hmm." Michonne moaned as he played in her dripping wet heat. "Can you put your dick in my pussy please. Let's see just how wet I can ge…." Her word was cut off as Rick slid inside her tightness. "Fuck!"
"It's so fucking wet Michonne." He pressed his hips into her ass, making sure he was as deep as he could get before pulling out slowly and pushing back in.
"Faster." She pleaded.
"Impatient tonight? Ask me nicely."
"Faster daddy. Please." She whispered. He granted her request, and with a handful of her hip and a hand on her shoulder, he pumped into her faster and deeper. "Yes... Oh… yes Rick…."
"You like that?"
"God yes!" She was so wet, and he was so deep her leg started to shake. "Fuck. Fuck." He leaned over her back placing a kiss along her spine.
"Shit Michonne. Cum for me. You feel so good."
"Mmm… right there! Right…. ohhhh…" He felt her start to pulse around him and his strokes got deeper, wanting to meet her in the place of bliss.
"Fuucckk Michonne." He groaned as he came deep inside her, she received it all as she came too, feeling waves of warmth flush through her body.
"Mmmm…. damn Rick." She bit her bottom lip to keep from falling apart, her pussy still pulsing around him.
"Yeah." He drawled out pulling out of her slowly, helping her to lay on the bed before he snuggled up behind her, kissing her shoulder and rubbing her belly. "Now I need him to stay in just a little longer so we can do that a few more times."
"Yes, we all know how you get having to wait six whole weeks."
"It's a long time Michonne."
