Unfortunately, this is entirely theoretical. It's another tiny moment I just thought up.
Wet
Michonne drowned her thoughts out under the water of the warm shower. It felt good to let everything slip down the drain for the time being. She didn't have to think. She didn't have to fight.
She heard the shower door slide open, and she knew who it was. A tiny grin took it's place upon her lips.
"Hey," she whispered, turning to look up at him through the water.
"Hey," he whispered back, leaning down to press a kiss to her lips. "I can take care of this part."
He knew that while she was pregnant, she had trouble reaching certain parts to wash them. She would never admit it, she was tough-headed just like him, but he knew anyway.
Rick ran the bar of soap over the washcloth a couple times and then began to press it into the small of her back, close to her waist. She closed her eyes at the gentle, soothing feeling as she leaned her head back to rest her temple against his shoulder. It was so soft and so perfect that she could've fallen asleep standing right there under the water.
Their bodies were pressed together in union. He reached her shoulder blades with the washcloth eventually, tracing patterns around them when he did. It was something he liked doing, for reasons unknown to her. She felt his plump lips pressing between her shoulder blades in another kiss. She absolutely adored the way he'd become incredibly gentle ever since they found out she was pregnant. It was almost as if he was afraid to hurt her, though they both knew he would never do that.
"I don't know what's gonna happen-I don't even know what'll happen today or tomorrow. But I know I'll protect you and the kids, this baby-and our whole family with everything I got," he whispered close to her ears.
"I know," she sighed out before putting her thin hands over her slightly rounded belly under his, "I will too."
He continued to whisper to her until the words turned into sweet nothings and eventually faded out into quietness.
The silence was filled with peace and tranquility, an un-occasional occurrence in their usually hectic, dangerous lives.
It felt good to be together with a person like this again. They were both happy for the first time in a while. For the time, the water would drain away every thought or painful memory of the past.
I know I already said this twice but thank you for checking this out! It's super nice to read what people have to say about it.
