a/n: I would say now this is the final chapter of the "main story". Chapters 15-17 are...well you might be able to guess.

warning for nsfw content. also, it's long.

Since the incident with Cyn was over, Rick decided to introduce Julie to his best friends Birdperson and Squanchy.

The two arrived on Birdperson's home planet. When they got there, Julie found herself in awe at the sight of it. Unlike Glorf, this planet was filled with nature, she spotted trees, bushes, and crystal-like formations sticking out of the ground. In the distance, she could see grassy hills and buildings covered in tree roots, with trees sticking out of them.

Julie already preferred this place over Glorf, as while she thought the advanced technology was really amazing, there was simplicity and beauty in nature to her. She didn't like going outside too much, unless there was shade, as being a redhead made her skin more sensitive to sunlight. But regardless, she still loved nature.

Rick smiled upon seeing her enthusiasm for the place, and grabbed her hand, leading her over to where Birdperson's house, where he and Squanchy were waiting for them.

When they entered his house, Squanchy went over to them to greet them excitedly. "Squanch to see you two!" He then turned over to look at a confused and shy Julie. "And you...you're Rick's squanch aren't you?"

Julie was completely befuddled, and Rick could see it on her face. He chuckled and went over to whisper in her ear. "He's asking if you're my girlfriend."

Knowing this, Julie turned her head back to look at Squanchy and nodded.

Squanchy grinned, taking her hand in his. "Rick is squanching lucky to get you as his squanch! It's squanching to squanch you!" Then he kissed her hand, making her blush shyly, and causing Rick to stare angrily at Squanchy. He took notice of this and quickly backed off.

It was Birdperson's turn to greet her, and he was far less forward than Squanchy had been. "Greetings, I am Birdperson, and you must be Julie, Rick spoke very fondly of you."

Rick blushed, and Julie looked over and smiled at him, before looking back at Birdperson. "Yes..that's me.." She said shyly. "Rick mentioned the three of you are part of a band."

"Indeed." He confirmed. "We were supposed to perform at a concert last week, but Rick was gone and we couldn't do it, it had to be rescheduled."

"Do you think I could be there at the concert?" Julie asked hopefully.

"Of course!" Squanchy butted in. "Just be squanch, Rick has some...squanches.."

Rick translated him for her again. "He's saying to be careful, because I-I have some fangirls. It's true, if they see us together, they might get a bit...mad...but I w-wouldn't worry too much about it if I were y-you."

This made Julie feel a tinge of jealousy, but she was able to shake it off. Rick was hers, and there was nothing the fangirls could do about it.

"Well..okay then.." She whispered back at him.

"If I may ask Julie, would you like to hear us play?" Birdperson asked.

Her face lit up at this. "Oh that would be a wonderful idea!"

She proceeded to watch the trio play a song for her, with Squanchy playing the drums, Rick playing the guitar, and Birdperson was singing.

Julie found herself very impressed, and clapping along. Most of her attention was, of course, on Rick, he just seemed so natural playing the guitar, and he was very skilled at it. Rick was a man of many talents clearly, and she loved it.

When it was over, Rick put the guitar down, and she ran up and hugged him. "Rick! You were amazing!" She beamed.

Rick grinned and hugged her back, while both Birdperson and Squanchy watched them, before smiling at each other. To them, it was already clear how much they loved each other. Julie was shy, but Rick managed to bring her out of her shell without even trying. After performing together, the trio and Julie ended up just hanging out and having fun together.

Later on, Birdperson decided to go over and talk to Rick alone. "Rick, it's good to see you have finally found a mate." He told him.

"Ah...y-you really th-think so? I-I-I mean.."

"Birdperson knows so, and knows what you're like. This is good for you, and I can see how much you two love each other, and how much of a good match you two are. Julie can help you, however, she can only do so much, but perhaps she will motivate you to become a better person."

Rick was silent from his words, unsure how to respond. Maybe Birdperson was right, and he had already been feeling much happier now that he was with her.

His thoughts were interrupted when he saw Julie walk over to them. "Do you think Rick and I can go explore this planet for a bit?" She asked Birdperson. "I love the nature here, your planet is so beautiful."

He nodded. "Go ahead."

Julie eagerly took Rick's hand and started to run off with him. Rick glanced back at Birdperson for a moment, before leaving with Julie.

Exploring the planet proved to be really fun, there was much terrain to venture through, such as valleys, hills and they wandered into an entire forest.

They came across a portion of the forest featuring a waterfall, with a bunch of flowers and a few rocks nearby. The two went to sit on a large rock together and watch the waterfall.

"I love it here, so much.." Julie sighed in content. "I hope we can come back here again sometime."

"Oh we will," Rick assured her. "Birdperson is a close friend of mine after all."

"That reminds me...is Birdperson really his name?" She asked while giggling.

"Naw," He chuckled. "I can never remember his real name, so I just call him Birdperson."

Julie smiled at him, and leaned her head against his shoulder, making him blush. It felt so romantic to be here with him, alone, with only the sounds of nature in the air.

A thought came into her head, and she decided to ask him about it. "So...you finally changed your mind on love?"

Rick huffed, crossing his arms, not saying a word.

"Do you still think it's just a chemical reaction?" She asked. "I wouldn't say that's a good argument. Technically, aren't all feelings chemical reactions in our brain? Why single out love?"

He became angrily flustered at this. "Well..it's just th-that..I…I d-don't...I-I don't get it...I-I.."

She kissed his cheek softly. "There's nothing wrong with being in love. Relying on others is important, it makes you strong, not weak, you have people that care about you and will be there for you when you need them. You have me, and I know you love me, I love you too, so much. It's alright.."

Rick didn't know what to say, so he resorted to kissing her lips roughly, and Julie accepted it, kissing him back.

"Julie...I need…I-I need you…" He breathed, starting to kiss down to her neck. "It's been too long...I just.."

"It's okay...I want to do this too.." She blushed, letting out a few moans as he continued to kiss her.

Julie understood that Rick was simply letting out his feelings for her, expressing them through his actions rather than his words. He wasn't good at talking about his feelings, and she didn't mind at all. This was his way of figuring out his emotions and dealing with them properly.

Besides, they hadn't done this for a bit, with Julie still having to deal with her headache and all, but she was better now, and so they could finally do this again.

Rick picked her up off the rock and laid her down on the grass, positioning himself over top of her. Julie gasped as he did so, and looked up at him. She saw the desire for her on his face, making her bite her lip.

He took off her clothes, until she was in just her bra and panties. She noticed the bulge in his pants, and watched as he too took off his clothes until he was just in his boxers. Rick went back to kissing her again, this time going right down to the tops of her breasts.

"Rick please…" Julie moaned desperately.

He snickered and decided to keep teasing her, continuing to kiss her cleavage while his hands inched towards the straps of her bra.

"Please...take if off.." She begged, gazing down at him.

He already loved hearing her beg for him, and so he decided to give in and unhooked the straps, freeing her breasts from their confines, which had barely fit in her bra anyway, looking like they would burst through at any moment.

Rick gripped onto her soft breasts and began gently fondling them before taking one of her nipples in his mouth and sucking on it. Julie moaned and held onto him, loving how the feel of him sucking on her aching nipples felt. He then made the move to lick them, inciting more needy moans from her.

Rick pulled his mouth away and gave her a wicked smirk, making Julie shudder with desire. He kissed her roughly, then placed himself in between her legs. He let out a growl, seeing how soaked her panties were. "You want me so fucking bad don't you? Want me to lick that sweet little pussy of yours until you cum?"

"Yes..I need this..." She pleaded.

With that, he pulled down her panties, and his cock became even more erect at the sight of her pussy. Rick began to lick it, hearing her cry out for him.

"Oh Rick!" Julie exclaimed, her back arching. "Uhh yes!"

He had missed her sweet taste, it still was as good as last time and he knew he'd never get enough of it, no matter how many times he did this. Hearing her delicate moans only made this better. Rick then began to let his tongue trace over her clit, swirling around it.

Hearing her needy moans was making him slowly lose it, he didn't know how much longer he could take until his control would break. Julie was a mess because of him, moaning and panting as if she was an animal in heat. It didn't help one bit, it only made it worse, but he couldn't stop.

Julie came on a scream, but Rick still went on licking her, and she managed to cum a few more times.

"Stop..please..I can't..ohh…" Julie begged, panting like crazy.

Rick complied, and moved over top of her again. She could see his hard cock between his legs, throbbing and pulsing, and still marvelled at how big he was.

"Julie…" He breathed. "Do you want me to fuck you?"

"I need you…" Julie arched her hips up, staring right at him with half-lidded eyes. "Please take me..please.."

His control was gone.

He grabbed onto her legs and spread them open before shoving his length inside of her, and thrusting wildly.

There was something so primal about being here in the middle of the forest to Julie, laying on the grass, the scents and sounds of nature surrounding her, all while making love to Rick. And she loved it, so much.

Rick continued to thrust, letting out a growl as he fucked her, claiming her as his once again. He loved the feel of her glistening folds, how wet and warm they were, how well his cock fit in it, as if their bodies were made for each other. She was still moaning and groaning for him as they fucked, their bodies close and connected, moving in rhythm together.

"Rick..I can't...I'm going to.." Julie moaned out, feeling so close to coming.

"Thats right Julie...cum for me.." He ordered.

And with that, she did, coating his cock with her cum.

Rick pulled out quickly and stroked his cock, coming all over her chest and stomach. He collapsed on the ground, laying beside her as his erection began to subside.

Julie lifted him up and snuggled against him, sighing in content. "I love you so much.."

Rick didn't respond, not even looking at her.

"I think I know what the problem is..you don't really understand love because you've never actually experienced it until meeting me." She concluded. "But I can help you understand, can't I?"

He nodded. "O-Of...of c-course.."

She smiled, and they shared a gentle kiss.

With that, Julie did do her best to try and help Rick understand love better, and she figured the best way to do it, was to let him gradually understand his feelings more and more.

They continued to spend time together, going on dates and adventures, which often doubled as both. Julie loved exploring and learning more about the galaxy from Rick, and she also enjoyed learning about the various alien cultures.

One of their most notable adventures was going to a resort along with Mark and Vivian, and having to deal with a psychopathic alien hitman. But that's for another time.

Julie and Rick were the happiest they'd ever been in their lives, everyday was a new adventure for them, and they both enjoyed it. As a result of their adventures, and Rick's presence, Julie was growing more confident, bold and assertive by the day. There was one time when Rick was fighting off an alien animal over top of him, and Julie knocked it off in retaliation.

She was also continuing to help Rick as well, getting him to brush his teeth each morning and each night, take showers, sleep more often and eat better. He was resistant at first, but slowly became motivated to improve and better himself because of her influence on him.

Julie had indeed also joined Rick, Birdperson and Squanchy on their next performance, and found herself enamoured with the way Rick looked in his "The Flesh Curtains" outfit. It was no surprise that they'd had sex after the performance. The fangirls weren't too much of an issue either, Rick just kinda had to push them away a little bit.

As time passed, Julie noticed that Rick was starting to become more open with his feelings, and did gain a better understanding of love, though he still wasn't a fan of the romance genre like Julie is. Instead of being a jerk about it like he used to, he just dealt with by pretending to enjoy it, or just not saying anything. There was a few times Julie would read aloud her romance novels to Rick, and he just listened without saying a word.

She had eventually asked Rick about his sexuality, thinking he was bisexual, but coming to find out he was actually pansexual. Julie didn't know what that meant at first, but after Rick explained it to her, she understood, and took no issue with it.

About Julie's parents..well...she'd been getting over it, and been handling their deaths better. She had kept a picture of her with them in her room, taken when she was a child, and now looked at the picture fondly rather than sadly.

A year after getting together, Rick had been wondering if he should propose to Julie. She was the hopeless romantic type, loved him dearly, and they'd been together for a while. He had never liked the idea of marriage, but knew Julie did, and thought she would want to marry him. Admittedly, he did was fond of the idea of Julie being his wife, and marriage did come with some benefits too…

But first, Rick wanted to be sure Julie was interested in marriage, and decided to ask about it one day out of the blue.

"So...I've been thinking, how do you feel about weddings? Me, personally? I hate them, they're boring as shit, drag on for too long."

Julie laughed and held onto his hand. "I've always wanted to get married, ever since I was a little girl. And now? Well...I think it would be nice..don't you?"

"M-Maybe…" He blushed.

She laughed more and cuddled up with him, hoping he had asked because he was interested in proposing to her. Julie loved the idea of being his wife and having him as her husband. She also didn't think the name "Julie Sanchez" sounded all that bad either, and she could finally have the wedding she'd always dreamed of. Plus, they would end up living together, and Julie loved the idea of waking up to Rick's handsome face every morning.

Though, knowing Rick, he'd find it boring and would want to make their wedding exciting, which Julie didn't mind at all, as long as they got married she would be happy, and she thought that his version would of their wedding would be a lot more fun anyways.

Eventually, Rick, despite his nerves about the idea, decided to propose.

Much like he had made her the pendant necklace, he wanted to make her the ring himself. He thought about it, and settled on making the ring a silver band with a heart-shaped amethyst gemstone on top. Of course, Rick knew he needed his own, so just made a simple silver band to match with hers.

With that, he placed the ring in a wooden box, and now had to decide how to propose.

An idea came into his mind, and Rick decided he would create and beautiful hologram displaying some of her favourite places in the galaxy, he knew she would love it.

The day finally came for him to propose, and Rick had cold feet about it, feeling very nervous about proposing, but he was able to gather his courage together as best as he could.

Rick took the wooden box and the device that displayed the hologram, and went off to find Julie. He smiled as he saw her, sitting on a couch in the living room, reading a book. She took notice of him, and smiled back, putting a bookmark where she left off, and walking over to him.

"What are you hiding behind your back Ricardo?" She asked curiously.

He grinned, and pulled out the device. Julie was even more curious now, and watched intently as he pressed a button, making a hologram displaying various planets appear.

Julie's eyes widened at the sight. "Oh Rick...this is so beautiful!"

"And that's not all." Rick winked, and revealed the wooden box, making her gasp.

He opened the box, showcasing the ring inside. It was then and there that Julie knew what she hoped was going to happen, was finally happening.

"You wanna get married?" He asked.

Tears of joy welled up in Julie's eyes, and she embraced him. "Yes! Of course I'll marry you!"

Rick laughed and gently pulled her off. "Do you want to put the ring on now?"

"Yes please!"

He took out the ring and put it on the ring finger on one of her hands. Julie stared at it in awe, she loved it so much, she was thrilled they were now each other's fiances. She couldn't wait to let Mark and Vivian know she was getting married.

She looked up and watched as Rick put his on too. Julie held onto his hand afterwards, and kissed him.

Later that day, Julie told Mark and Vivian that Rick had proposed to her, and they would be getting married soon. Mark had been excited, but Vivian was the opposite. She did agree to be a bridesmaid though.

Rick had also told Birdperson and Squanchy that he Julie were getting married, they were both very happy for him. Though, they did end up fighting over who would be the best man, and it ended up going to Birdperson much to Squanchy's dismay. Rick had laughed and promised to make it up to him during the bachelor party.

For that, Rick had surprisingly not been interested in going to a club or anything, saying his eyes were only on Julie. Instead, they decided to just get wasted at Birdperson's house. Julie had also insisted they bring Mark over, and Rick agreed to it much to his annoyance. As for the bachelorette "party", Julie and Vivian had just settled on something fun like bowling.

Rick had wanted to make the wedding actually fun, and Julie didn't mind at all. He had a bunch of crazy ideas, but Julie thought they shouldn't go too overboard, and he was okay with that. He was also okay with agreeing to more relaxed things Julie wanted, like the fact she really wanted to slow dance with him.

When the night before the wedding rolled around, Julie had found herself so ecstatic, that tomorrow she and Rick would become husband and wife. She felt like the luckiest girl in the multiverse, she had found her true love and it had turned out better than she'd ever imagined.

Julie looked at the wedding dress she'd bought, and was excited to see Rick's reaction to it. She was also excited to see him in his tuxedo, only imagining how attractive he'd look in it.

Rick on the other hand, was having cold feet about marrying Julie, still unable to imagine that she would be soon be his wife. How the hell did he get so damn lucky?

Despite his nerves, he was looking forward to the wedding, and everything he had planned out for it.

After everything was taken care of, and the parties were over, it was finally time for the wedding. Rick and Julie had decided to get married at the gemstone planet, where Rick had gotten her the crystal rose.

Rick had thought they couldn't just invite Birdperson, Squanchy, Mark and Vivian, so he decided to invite over some aliens he and Julie had met on their adventures, who were more than happy to come. They helped set up everything too. Vivian's family had even come as well.

Julie had finished putting on her wedding dress with Vivian's help. Even with her excitement, she was also a bit worried. "Do I look alright?" She asked.

Vivian blushed, and nodded. "You look fine."

She breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good..I just hope Rick will like it."

"I'm sure he will, don't worry about it."

"You're right, thank you Vivian."

Vivian's blush deepened. "I think it's time for you to head to the altar now."

"Of course! I just.." Julie sighed. "I wish my father was here, so he could walk me down the aisle."

Vivian gave her a sympathetic look. "Your dad was a great guy Julie, and I know he'd be happy for you."

Julie's frown turned into a smile, and she picked up her bouquet, which was made with crystal flowers from the planet. "Thank you again, it really means a lot to me.."

"Ah don't worry about it," Vivian brushed her off. "I think I should go sit down too, beside Mark and my parents. I don't trust any of the aliens here."

Julie laughed, watching her friend go and sit beside her family, as well as Mark. He had noticed she seemed nervous with the aliens around, and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Rick was getting cold feet again, still finding it unbelievable he was marrying Julie of all people, he didn't feel like he deserved her, at all.

Birdperson noticed him sweating and knew Rick was nervous about this. "Don't worry Rick, I know you're nervous about marrying Julie, but everything will be fine."

"That's not the problem Birdperson!" He exclaimed. "It's j-just...Julie is so perfect...like an angel...I-I don't deserve her love, I never h-have."

"Rick, you must stop thinking like that, you do deserve her, and she loves you so much." Birdperson assured him. "In all the time I've known you, you've never been all that happy until meeting Julie. She's very good for you, you know that."

Before Rick could respond, two little aliens walked down the aisle throwing petals from the crystal flowers. Then Julie followed behind, and as soon as Rick saw her, his jaw dropped and his heart was pounding.

She looked so elegant and beautiful in her wedding dress, it made him feel even less worthy of her. If he was being honest, he also thought the dress made her breasts look stunning.

Julie walked up beside him, admiring how handsome she thought he looked in his black tux, her heart was pounding too.

One of the aliens, who took the role of the minister(he apparently had the license to do so), began to speak. "This is a glorious day my friends, we are here today to unite these two as husband and wife!" He beamed, and Rick and Julie both heard clapping from the crowd. "But if anyone objects to this union, speak now." No one did thankfully. The alien continued. "Good, now begin with the vows. The bride can go first."

Though Julie was shy, her increased confidence and assertiveness made her feel better about saying her vows in front of the crowd. "My life has changed has so changed much since we met. When I'm with you, all my fears, worries and insecurities just disappear. Every moment we spend together makes feel so warm and loved, and when you hold me in your arms, I know I'm safe. You're the love of my life, my true love, my soulmate, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

Rick's face was beet red at her words. He turned over to the alien minister, who smiled and gestured to Rick. "Now it's the groom's turn."

He didn't want to do this, at all, but knew he had no choice. Rick decided to just ignore the crowd and the alien minister, just focusing on Julie. "Look, I'm not good with my words, so I'll be brief. Before you, I was...a-alone...miserable...de-depressed...filled with anger and hatred, but...e-everything has ch-changed..b-because of y-you…now everything feels so d-d-different, but i-in a good way."

Julie blushed from his words, and then suddenly heard crying. She turned her head over to the noise, and saw Mark comically in tears from their vows. She giggled a little, and turned back to Rick.

The alien minister spoke up again, focusing on Rick. "Do you take her to be your wife, til death do you part?"

"I-I do."

He nodded and turned to Julie. "Do you take him to be your husband, til death do you part."

"I do.."

The alien preacher faced the little aliens. "The rings?" They then handed them over to him, who handed them to Rick and Julie, and they then put their rings on each other.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride."

As Rick grabbed Julie in for a passionate kiss, fireworks went off in the air, and the crowd cheered. Mark was also wiping away his tears.

After the kiss, Julie tossed the bouquet, which was grabbed by Vivian. She blushed upon realizing the implications of grabbing it, looking back at Mark for a moment before looking at her family. Her mother laughed. "Someday soon sweetie...someday soon.."

During the reception, Rick and Julie fed each other their wedding cake(made by Julie herself), and then shared a slow dance together.

Julie leaned her head against Rick's chest, feeling thrilled she could now call him her husband. He wrapped his arms around her waist as they danced, so happy and in love, glad he could call her his wife. Julie had also noticed Mark had gotten Vivian to dance with him, and Vivian's parents were dancing too.

When the dance was over, the excitement Rick had planned for began. He had brought a lot of stuff, like arcade games and even a bouncy castle just cause.

Julie ended up also having to advise Rick not to get too drunk, and he agreed, knowing what couples traditionally did on their wedding nights. The time had came to finally "consummate the marriage", and to her relief, Rick had listened and had only had a few drinks, making things much better.

The wedding had finished, and the couple left for a resort planet afterwards for their honeymoon. When the newlyweds returned to Earth, Rick packed up his things and moved in with Julie.

Living together brought lots of new things, but one that they both loved was sleeping together, and having each other be the first thing they saw in the morning.

A few months after getting married, Julie had finally decided to apply for becoming a nurse, and get managed to get the job! She'd been so happy that the first thing she did when she saw Rick was give him a tight hug.

Despite her happiness, something was gnawing at Julie and she couldn't ignore it: her desire for motherhood. She just hoped Rick be okay with becoming a father.

a/n: The hologram is meant to be that thing Morty shows Jessica in "Ricksy Business." Wonder why Rick still has it...
