Where There's a Will (Chapter 24)

A/N: Sequel to Richonne (Short Love Stories) Baby Father Mine. Also, at the request of zeejack. Rick and Michonne are pregnant and having a few difficulties.

Rick can't help it as his eyes follow his wife across the room. They are only 3 weeks away from her delivery date and all he can think about is sex. Seeing her belly grow even larger with their son over the last few weeks has only made him love her and desire her more.

They reconciled only months earlier after he found out she was 6 months pregnant with his child, a fact she conveniently chose not to share with him. Things were rough finding out the way he did, but once they realized they still loved each other, nothing else mattered.

Their lives have been a whirlwind of activity as he broke his lease and moved into her apartment as it was the larger of the two. Now, they are preparing her place for the baby in addition to house hunting. They also went to the justice of the peace and got married. Both sets of parents drove up to witness the union, to meet for the first time, and to help celebrate as Rick's parents were just finding out about the pregnancy.

She starts to hum as she is moving from room to room in her nesting phase as she calls it, getting everything ready for the baby's arrival. Seeing the thin silver band on her finger excites him to no end. Just knowing that she is now his wife, his love for the rest of his life makes him want to grab her and make love to her like never before.

Who knew pregnant women could be so sexy or is it just my wife? He wonders for the hundredth time. She is wearing a simple white flowing blouse with black leggings, her feet bare with electric blue nail polish. She looks over at him with a smile and that's all the encouragement he needs as he sidles up close to her and wraps his arms around her from behind.

"You just don't know what you do to me," he tells her as he cradles her stomach.

She giggles as he nuzzles her neck. "Really Rick? You're trying to get frisky with all of this in your way?" She moves her belly from side to side, silently reminding him that the last few tries at making love were unsuccessful. They finally just decided to satisfy each other orally. Michonne has reluctantly accepted that she probably won't get a good taste of him for another 2 months or so after the baby is born.

"Well, we can do what we always do," he suggests.

She sighs deeply not wanting to disappoint him but she would really rather make love. "How about if we just give it another go?"

"No, babe I don't want you to be uncomfortable," Rick returns.

She turns to face him. "Do you realize we have about 3 more weeks to go before I deliver and then 6 weeks of recovery to get through? That's over 2 months of zero, zilch, nada. I think we'd better do what we can while we can."

Rick laughs, knowing she is right. "Ok but if anything doesn't feel right, you tell me immediately."

Moments later, they are both naked in bed, attempting the missionary position. Rick balances himself by placing both hands by her side, lifting his upper body away from hers, trying not to bump against her stomach. He manages to slide in but doesn't feel comfortable going all the way as he can't help but move against her stomach.

"I can't do it this way. I feel like I'm hitting him or something," he tells her softly. He lifts himself from her and rears back onto his knees.

Michonne sits up slowly. "Well, how about from behind?" She gets up onto her knees and turns her butt towards him.

Rick laughs as his wife wiggles her behind and commands him to get to work. He moves up behind her, caressing her hips. He aligns his body with hers and starts to push in slowly. He buries himself, shuddering as it feels so good to be encased in her warmth once again. He starts to move and they groan simultaneously, only his groan is one of pleasure while hers is one of discomfort.

Michonne frowns as Rick is going too deep and hitting something maybe he shouldn't be hitting. "Babe, stop. Uh-uh. This isn't going to work either."

Rick pulls back immediately and sighs with defeat. He looks to the ceiling as his body is raging with desire. "I knew this wouldn't work. Just lie back. I know what to do." He licks his lips as he always enjoys satisfying her orally. At least he still has that to look forward to for the next two weeks or so.

"Well, just wait a minute. Let's try one more thing and if that doesn't work, fine we'll give up," his wife suggests as she eyes his member hungrily.

She rests on her side and asks him to lay behind her. As soon as he is in position, she takes one of his hands and places it on one of her breasts. She grabs his other hand and places it between her legs.

Rick closes his eyes as he caresses his wife exactly as she dictates. He gasps as she rolls her bottom against him and reaches back to caress his hip.

She lifts a knee and tells him to try and enter her again. He removes his hand from her core and complies with her request as he takes hold of his manhood and starts to ease in slowly and gently. She pushes back to meet him and he slides in smoothly as they both moan with the connection.

"You ok?" He asks.

"Yes, keep going," she directs.

Soon they have enacted a slow rhythm that actually appears to be working for both of them.

Rick kisses her shoulder as he continues to move, a hand splaying the bottom of her belly. His body is screaming for him to go harder but he suppresses the sensation, keeping things nice, slow, and gentle.

"Harder. Just a little harder," Michonne demands.

"No, I don't want…."

"Please. It's ok. I promise. You feel so good," she encourages.

Rick thrusts into her, adding a little more force than before. They both gasp as that only intensifies what they are feeling and they continue to rock together, striving for release.

He wants to ensure that his wife gets there first since he can feel himself getting close. He finds her core once again and fingers her expertly, thrusting in then pulling almost all the way out only to thrust in before she can complain.

Her harsh breaths and her nails digging into his thigh is all the indication he needs. "Yes! Yes! That's it, babe. That. Is. It." Her body starts to spasm and she feels a pulling sensation in her lower abdomen but ignores it as her core throbs and vibrates continuously.

Rick smiles as he feels her sex clench and pull at his. He throws his head back and really lets go, driving into her over and over again until he finds his release.

They both giggle as they can't believe how explosive their lovemaking was. Rick drops his head to her shoulder, kissing her lightly.

"I love you so much," he confesses.

She turns to face him, smiling as he palms her belly. "I love you too." She kisses him before letting out a loud yawn. "I think we need a nap. That was kind of exhausting."

Her husband laughs as he feels movement in her abdomen. "I think someone is wide awake. Do you think we disturbed him?"

Michonne gives her husband a pointed look before covering up another yawn. "He won't bother me in the least. Why don't you two play around while Mommy gets some sleep?"

He props up a couple of pillows for her and watches as she turns onto her back and slowly closes her eyes. He looks down at her beautiful round belly, taking a hand to caress her stomach in a slow circular motion. He can feel his son kick or punch or something and just smiles, still unable to believe in the miracle he and his wife created.

He leans down closer to her stomach. "Hey little guy. Why don't you calm down and let Mom take a nap, huh?" He kisses her stomach lightly and grabs the comforter to cover them. He nestles even closer to her as he closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.
