Chapter 14:
Michonne was sitting at the kitchen table with her phone to her ear. It was an early Saturday morning and the house was quiet as Rick had to take on a Saturday shift and Carl was with Lori for the weekend. Now with her phone ringing in her ear, she was waiting for her mother to pick up.
"Well, you are alive! I should have known as soon as you started talking to Rick again I would never hear from you again. You two are just like how you were as teenagers only concerned about each other!" Michonne's mother, Beverly exclaimed omitting a greeting.
Michonne chuckled a bit, unable to disagree with her mother. "Hi to you too mom."
"Hello, my dear. How is life back in Kings County treating you?"
"It's good mom. I've been doing better actually." As Michonne spoke she wore a faint smile and gently stroked her stomach.
"I'm glad, you sound good. Are you eating okay?"
"Yeah I have, actually um...I've been eating a little bit more than I usually do…" Said Michonne starting her lead into announcing her pregnancy.
"Mm, well I don't remember Kings County having the healthiest options so makes sense." Said Beverly, disregarding Michonne's comment for anything more.
Michonne imagined her mother to be cleaning as she usually did on a Saturday morning so she wouldn't have to clean after church. Her mother's cleanliness definitely was passed on to Michonne as well her knack for silences and the ability to shift from softness to a hardness depending on the person and situation. "I'm pregnant mom."
There were several minutes of silence before Beverly spoke, "Is this a happy pregnancy?" She asked, her voice tentative and soft.
Michonne smiled to herself at her mother's obvious caring, "It is mom. It's still a little scary and I think what happened with 'Dre is always going to be in the back of my mind but...Rick's been really great. He listens, you know? And he can calm me down from any worrying."
"I should have known…" Beverly began her voice now light and happy, free of any concern.
"Should have known what?"
"That as soon as you came back there and started talking to that Grimes boy you would fall right back in love with him like you never left. Now, look at you! Pregnant, I'm assuming you two are living together, I'm pretty sure I can see your smile from here girl."
Michonne laughed a bit bashfully, "Mom…"
"I should have known…" Beverly repeated again, "How far are you?"
"A little over 4 months now. We're looking at a December due date. At our next appointment, we should find out the gender."
"We'll get into the fact that you waited till you were nearly 5 months to tell me you're pregnant at a later time, I hope you know I'll be buying my ticket for December."
"Mom, you don't have to come down." Michonne began.
"And miss the birth of my grandchild, please! I'll be there just make sure you have my room ready."
Michonne chuckled at her mom's persistence, "Yes mom we will."
"Good….I'm very happy for you, you know that? After Andre, I wasn't sure when you will be bouncing back. But you did."
Michonne smiled faintly, "It wasn't all me mom…"
"Oh, I know Rick helped you. But you had something to do with it too. You could have stayed up here and sulked, or moved anywhere else. But you went back to Kings County because you know there would be someone there to help bring you out of the darkness. That takes guts, dear."
Michonne chuckled a bit and nodded, nudging back her tears with her finger. "Mom, you're gonna make me cry over here."
"Oh, so you're not a cranky old pregnant woman this time, huh? Good to know." Beverly said with a half-joking tone.
Michonne chuckled again, "No not this time. I'm a cry baby with this one."
"That means you're having a girl, you know."
"Mom, it does not mean I'm having a girl."
"Mhm, just you wait." There was a slight pause, "Okay, my dear I'm going to let you be now and I'll look up some flight information. Get lots of rest, okay?"
"I will mom." She said, warmly.
"Alright, dear. Tell Rick I said hi. I'll see you soon."
"See you soon mom." And with that both of the women hung up. Michonne stroked her stomach so more, smiling down on it. "Your grandma already think's she knows everything and you aren't even born yet." She said, with a smile.

"You missed me, boss?" Rick asked as he entered their home after a long day of work. He was loosening his tie as he rounded the corner, seeing Michonne reading on the sofa wearing one of his shirts.
"Nope," Michonne said with a smirk as she shifted her legs so Rick could sit next to her.
"Mhm…" He said with a smile as he kissed her softly. As he did so he picked her legs back up and placed them on his lap. "What you do with an empty house?"
"Cleaned after the two messy boys I live with." She said with a smirk. "And I called my mom. She's happy for us." She said with a smile.
Rick smiled, "she's gonna come down when the baby is born?"
"The woman is already looking at flights," Michonne said with a playful eye roll.
Rick chuckled as they then shared a silence. "Oh, so there's this party the force is throwing that we should probably go to…."
"And when is this party?" Michonne asked with a raised eyebrow
"In a week…."
Michonne let out a groan, "Rocky, do you know I can barely fit into my jeans anymore and now I have to get all fancy?"
Rick attempted to stifle a laugh but failed, "You can't fit into your jeans anymore?"
Michonne hit him softly as she chuckled, "Stop it! You knocked me up and now I can't fit into my jeans!"
"Maybe if you stop getting the tightest ones…." Rick said with a smirk.
"I don't remember you complaining," Michonne said with a raised eyebrow.
"And I never will," Rick said with a wide grin.
"Did you happen to find out what kind of party it is?"
"Uh...I think they said something about a gala of some sort…"
Michonne groaned, "You're killing me Rocky!"
Rick chuckled, "Can't you just buy something?"
"I think I have something that can work you better hope I don't become huge between now and next week." She said with a poke to his arm.
"You know we could just not go…" Rick said with a hopeful smile.
"Oh, we're definitely going to go now," Michonne said with a smirk

A week later
Rick had just finished getting ready, he wore a dark blue tuxedo with a matching bow tie. He was adjusting his bow tie in the mirror when he called out to Michonne. "Boss, you ready?"
"Yeah, I think so. How does this look?" She asked as she walked over to the bathroom where he was adjusting his tie. Michonne was wearing a silk dress that resembled a slip that grazed the floor. The dress clung to her now larger breasts and stomach. Her locs were up in a low bun and a few loose strands framed her face. Her makeup was minimal with a red lip accentuating her face.
Rick slowly rolled her eyes up her body, not making any attempts to hide his staring. "Uh...you look...you sure we just can't stay home tonight?" As he spoke his eyes danced from her face to her chest and back.
"You know you can't stare at my breasts all night Rocky," Michonne said with a smirk.
"Who says?" Rick asked, looking up at her with a grin.
Michonne laughed lightly and shook her head, "Come on let's go." She said, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the bathroom.

A few moments later
In a large event place, the gala was being held with balloons and small tables scattered around the room was full of cops and their guests. Rick and Daryl had joined the search for food while Sasha and Michonne were leaning against a wall, Sasha sipping champagne and Michonne with water.
"The bump has gotten so big!" Sasha said with a smile.
Michonne chuckled a bit and nodded, "it has. I think it's finally time to get maternity jeans."
"I'm sure Rick will be sad to see the tight jeans go," Sasha said with a smirk.
Michonne chuckled, "he'll live."
Sasha laughed lightly and nodded, "are you guys planning on having a baby shower?"
Michonne shrugged a bit her face slightly scrunched up, "I don't know. Maybe Rick will want one but I don't really want some huge thing."
Sasha nodded, "you know if you said you wanted a baby shower up in the clouds he would try to make it work so I'm sure he'll do whatever you want."
Michonne smiled and nodded, "yeah I think he would too." A small pause. "You know I just told my mom I was pregnant a few days ago."
Sasha's eyes widen, "you just told Ms. 7Beverly you were pregnant? You're lucky she's all the way in New York." She said with a raised eyebrow.
Michonne laughed, "The years have softened her if you would believe it. I would say she was only mildly annoyed. Now if this was a few years ago…"
"She would have yelled at you for hours!" Sasha exclaimed.
Michonne laughed, holding her stomach as she did so. "Yeah, she would have! You remember that night I snuck out with Rick to see the late night movie?"
Sasha nodded excitedly, "yes! You were so convinced you were safe and you opened your bedroom door to see her sitting on your bed!"
"Till this day I've never screamed so badly in my life! I'm convinced that one month of cleaning everything made me into this clean freak today."
Sasha laughed and nodded, "I don't know who was worse off you or sad Rick."
"Definitely sad Rick," Michonne said with a wide smile. As she spoke Rick and Daryl came back with small plates of food.
"You see? Leave them alone for a few minutes and they are already talking about us." Daryl said with a smirk, as Sasha picked food of his plate.
"If it makes you feel any better it was just about Rick," Michonne said with a smile.
Rick purses his lips and squinted over at her playfully, "oh really?"
"Yup," Michonne said happily.
"And what were y'all saying?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing." Michonne and Sasha both said at once, followed by their laughter.
"You're never gonna get it out of them man, trust me," Daryl said with a head shake.
Rick chuckled a bit, "I think you're right about that."
"He is." Said Michonne with a knowing smile and a nod.
Sasha nodded as well, "he really is."

A few hours later
As hors d'oeuvre were being passed around Rick nudged Michonne, noticing that she hadn't yet eaten. "You should eat boss."
Michonne frowned and shook her head, "I don't want this stuff…"
"Michonne…" Rick began.
"What, it's not me! Your child doesn't want this food." She said with a small smirk.
Rick chuckled, "So what does my child want?"
"Pizza." She quickly responded with a smile.
Rick chuckled and shook his head, "aren't you tired of pizza already?"
Michonne shrugged, "what can I say the kid likes it."
"I think you like it."
"And?" She responded with a smile.
Rick chuckled again and after a pause, he turned to her, "alright let's go get pizza then."
Michonne raised her eyebrow, "the party isn't over yet rick."
He shrugged, "it's almost over. And I've seen everyone. Come on."
"...I want Glenn's pizza, not king's county cardboard."
Rick laughed lightly and nodded, "I know, I know. Come on."
"Is he even going to be open?"
"He'll be open," Rick assured her with a smile. "Come on." He said again, this time, pulling her by the waist towards the exit.
After a moment Michonne smiled and nodded, "alright, let's go."
0000000000000000
"This is the best pizza I've had in my whole life," Michonne said happily in between bites. She and Rick were sitting on the hood of her car as they ate, making it to Rhee's pizza just in time where Glenn had happily given them food.
"You say that every time," Rick responded.
"Because it's always true!" She said as if it was obvious.
Rick chuckled and shook his head as they continued to eat. They shared a silence and once Rick was done he took some moments to take Michonne in. She was still dressed with her shoes now off, her loc down, and his coat in her lap since she insisted her napkins were too thin to prevent grease stains. "I love you." He finally said.
Michonne smiled softly, "you're being sappy with some pizza, Rocky?"
Rick chuckled and brought her to him, "I love you." He repeated again as his hand began to stroke her growing stomach.
She smiled again, "I love you too."
Rick began to nuzzle his face in the crook of her neck, lightly kissing her as Michonne giggled a bit.
"Rick, I can barely fit in that little car I'm not having sex with you in there again," Michonne said, already knowing where his neck kisses often led to.
"So let's go home," Rick responded, his kisses turning into gentle sucking of her skin.
Michonne let out a light giggle again, "Alright Rocky let's go home. Try not to blow through the red lights." She said with a slight smirk as she moved off the hood of her car as did Rick.
"No promises." He said with a wide grin, opening the door for her and then entering the car.
00000000000000000
Rick was busy sucking on Michonne's neck with her laying under him with one of his hands under her and the other lightly grazing her exposed nipples. As he did so Michonne gasped a bit.
"They're sensitive Rocky…" Speaking in a hushed tone even though their home was empty.
Rick smiled to himself as his kisses were trailing down to her collarbone. "Sorry...sorry….next time...then…" His words broken up by the breaks he took to suck on her skin.
Michonne giggled a bit, "next time." She trailed her hand down his shirt and began to unbutton it. They were both still half dressed with her dress pulled down to right under her breasts and Rick's jacket and tie thrown onto the floor. She laid on the edge of the bed with Rick over her, leaning on his elbows.
Rick continued to suck on her skin going down to in between her chest. He pushed her up slightly with his hand to pull down her dress more with the other to expose her stomach. He grazed his hand down her stomach as he gave it light kisses. He continued his hand down till he was met with her underwear, he shifted them to the side and was immediately greeted with her wet folds.
Michonne gasped quietly as she felt Rick slip into her with one finger. She ran her hand through his hair, as she began moaning her hands slightly pulled on his hair.
Rick smirked at her hair pulling, "pregnancy made you a little rough, huh?" He mumbled as he continued to work his finger inside of her.
Michonne chuckled a bit, "shut up!"
Rick chuckled as well, bringing his finger out of her. He went to his knees pulling her into him, "bossy too." He said with a smirk before his tongue entered her and began exploring her folds.
"Shut...up…" Michonne said, her voice breathy as Rick licked her and she began to pull on his hair again. "Oh...my god…" She said, moaning again, feeling herself become undone quicker than usual thanks to her pregnancy hormones.
Rick continued to lick her folds even when realizing she was in the process of coming. He took one finger and gently played with her bud as he continued to explore in folds.
"Rick...Rick...Rick...wait...oh my god…" Michonne moaned, feeling her second orgasm come crashing into the next. She roughly pulled him up by his hair, getting met with a wide grin and his now wild hair. "You're gonna put me in labor right now if you keep doing that…" she said after taking a moment to catch her breath.
Rick grinned, pulling down her underwear and dress simultaneously as he spoke. "Not my fault you come fast now…"
Michonne giggled a bit covering her hand with her face as she did so, "stop!" She said playfully.
Rick chuckled and took off his shirt. He leaned down peeling her hand off her face. "I like it." He said with a smirk before kissing her deeply.
Michonne smiled into the kiss, both of their tongues dancing with each other as she brought her hand down to his pants. She quickly undid his belt and unbuckled his pants, allowing them to come to his ankles. She pulled down his boxers, gently stroking his dick as it jumped at her touch.
Rick moaned lightly as he felt her touch, pulling away a bit. He adjusted her again before slowly pushing his dick inside of her, being met with louder moans then before from her. He smiled to himself opening her legs more as he began slow, rhythmic strokes.
"Jesus…" Michonne moaned, gripping onto Rick's arm as she did so. Squeezing his arm when he began to pick up his pace. "Oh...my god...Rick...Fuck….Rick…" She moaned, feeling herself come again at his slight pace change.
Rick smirked as he felt her come, pulling out for a moment. "You can handle something faster than that, boss?"
"Be happy you have an empty house cause otherwise your answer would be no," Michonne said with a half-smile.
Rick chuckled a bit and nodded as he slipped into her again. He could still feel the slight throbbing of her as he began thrusting into her faster than before. He leaned on his elbows as he sucked on her neck again and was met with her loudest moans of the night.
Michonne gripped onto Rick's shoulder as he bucked into her, holding onto him as if her life depended on it as she moaned, her hushed tone now gone. "Fuck...fuck...fuck...Jesus Christ….Rick…"
Rick groaned into her neck feeling her tighten around him in such a consistent way, making it harder for him to not come. He thrusted into her a few more times before spilling into her, moaning into her neck as she began to loosen his grip on him.
They stayed together for a moment before Rick pulled out of her. He lingered above her with a blissful smile before leaning in to give her soft kisses on the lips. "We gotta do that some more before you give birth." He said with a grin after pulling away from her as she sat up.
"You just like that I'm more sensitivity so you wanna torture me." She said with a smirk as she got up and went to the dresser, pulling on one of his shirts before walking back to the bed.
"You look good in that…" Rick said, eyeing her up and down, despite that every night now she has been sleeping his shirts.
"You're not getting any more, so don't try it," Michonne said with a smirk and an eyebrow raise.
Rick chuckled and nodded as he slipped on a pair of sweatpants, "yes boss." He laid down next to her and pulled her into him so they were spooning. His hand resting on her stomach.
Michonne laced her fingers through Rick's. She could feel her eyes getting heavy and right before she could fall asleep she felt a kick come within in her.
"...did I just feel a kick?" Rick asked.
Michonne smiled and nodded, turning so she was laying on her back. "You did," she gasped slightly at another kick, "and another one." She smiled again as both Rick and her kept their hands on her stomach. "It's nice to know you're awake in there but you wanna go to sleep for me?" Michonne asked her stomach and was met with another kick.
Rick chuckled a bit, "already got your attitude."
Michonne laughed lightly, "Both of you let me be."
Rick chuckled again, before giving her a soft kiss on the lips. "Alright, now the both of you go to sleep." He said to both Michonne and their unborn baby. He paused to wait for a kick and when he felt none he smiled, "see you just gotta have the right tone with kids." He said with a grin.
Michonne laughed as she moved back to their spooning position, "be quiet Rocky."
Rick chuckled and lightly kissed her shoulder, "I love you."
Michonne smiled and reached her hand up to play with the ends of his hair, "I love you too."

A few weeks later
Michonne and Rick were currently at her 5-month appointment in order to find out the gender of their baby.
"Alright, so let's see if the munchkin wants to show us their gender today huh?" Asked Dr. Denise as she waved an ultrasound wand over Michonne's stomach.
"My mom says that I'm having a girl and that's why I'm so emotional this time around." Said Michonne with a small smirk.
Rick chuckled and nodded, "I can get behind that logic."
Denise smiled, "I have heard that before but sometimes we still get boys from emotional mommas." She waved the wand around some more, "Here is our heartbeat….still beautiful, good job momma. And the munchkin is in sight….you're having a little girl!"
Michonne smiled, letting out the breath she wasn't aware she was holding. "A girl…" She looked up at Rick who was wearing a smile. "A girl." She repeated again.
Rick kissed the back of her hand, "our first girl."
Denise smiled at them as she continued to watch the sonogram. "She's trying to suck her thumb in there, right here." She said pointing to the screen.
"She is already kicking often…" said Michonne.
"Oh yeah? We like movement, I'm glad." Denise said happily. "Okay, so I'm going to leave you too. And if you would like a sonogram of the little girl you can pick up at reception, okay?" She smiled as she got up, "I'll see you both next month."
As she left Michonne let out another breath and Rick squeezed her hand. "You okay boss?"
"I'm trying not cry again." She said with a small chuckle, "happy tears. I promise. I'm just...I still remember finding out I was having a boy like it was yesterday. And now I'm with you. And I'm happy again. Having our daughter." She said with a smile, blinking back tears.
Rick smiled softly and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "You're amazing."
Michonne chuckled a bit and rolled her eyes, "shut up."
"You are." He kissed her again, "you are."
