Chapter 2: Meeting with a Bang!
The future...
Michonne looked at the crowd that was seated and waited for her to come out and marry Rick. Michonne smiled at the sound of his name. To someone else it might seem like they were moving too fast. They had only known each other for 14 moths and they were already getting married but to them t was perfect. Their lives were perfect. In this short amount of time Rick became so much to her. He was her best friend, he was her partner, he was her rock and he became a father her son never had. He was the love of her life. She was lucky to have him, so why was she so nervous she was visibly shaking. Michonne did not have any second thoughts. She wanted to marry Rick and be his wife.
Michonne touched her stomach and closed her eyes. She was pregnant. She just found out this morning. She had not yet had a chance to tell Rick they good news. Was it good news? Between the two of them they already had three children. They were planning on having one together but not this soon. Not now. Neither wanted this to happen now. They had just began their lives together. Andre was still only three years old and he just started to call Rick dad. This was definitely moving to fast. Was she ready for another child this soon. Well she ain't got a choice now does she. She was minutes from getting married and she felt sick to her stomach. Maybe it was all to much. Michonne looked at the back door. She still had time to run away. Maybe one day they will all forgive her for that.
"Stop it Michonne, what are you thinking?" She whispered and closed her eyes mentally slapping herself. How could she even think of doing that to Rick? She knows how it feels to be abandoned therefore she wishes this fate to nobody and now she was thinking of doing this to the love of her life. She felt hot tears prickling at her eyes.
Michonne felt a warn hand on her shoulder and looked into her father brown eyes who was looking at her with a a concern look in his eyes. He touched her shaking shoulders and his hands up and down her arms to try and calm her down.
"You need to calm down my sweet. Rick loves you and you love him. I never saw two people that were most perfect for each other." Her father said and Michonne nodded she was still shaking and breathing heavily and tears fell from her eyes. Her father looked at her concern.
"What is it Michonne and i want the truth." Her father said in a calm even tone that always made her feel safe when she was little.
"I'm pregnant, i just found out this morning. No one else knows but you and me." Michonne said her voice breaking at the end. Her father chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"Baby if you are worried about his reaction then i don't believe that anything would make him happier than to have his child inside of you. He loves you and he loves Andre that's all that matters to you said yes to his marriage proposal i swear that i never saw someone that happy before and that was when i knew that there was a man that was worthy of my baby girl. Now we gonna march up to that man of yours and you will take him as your husband and when you are alone to tell him that you are going to have his baby." her father said and Michonne smiled at her father through her tears. Her father wiped them away and kissed her on the forehead.
"Thank you daddy, for everything." Michonne said.
"Are you ready?" Her father asked her and Michonne nodded her head.
"Please don't let me fall daddy." Michonne said and held onto her father's arms tightly. He held just as tight.
"Wouldn't dream of it." He said and both watched as the music began to play and people stood up waiting for her to make her way into the room.
Michonne could feel her legs shaking but she moved her feet holding onto the man that meant the world to her. As they walked she tried to calm her beating heart and her breathing but it was not working. She looked at the people as she passed hoping that it would help her. She saw her family and friends smiling at her. She saw her weeping mother who was smiling. She saw her sister who was holding onto her mother. She saw her two big brother smiling at her. She saw Andrea who was held by a smiling Shane as she was heavily pregnant with twins crying all over Shane. Michonne smiled at her and took her hand in hers before moving her eyes to the man that she is going to marry. To the love of her life who was standing at the alter with her two little men Carl and Andre standing behind him. As Michonne looked at Rick she felt bile coming up her throat. She was shaking like a leave now but as she saw that one smile from Rick she knew that there were worse things that she could be worried about right now than having the child of the men she loved more than life itself. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. Nothing mattered in that moment but him and all she wanted to do was to run over to him and marry this man. Michonne looked at her father who knew her daughter so well and held onto her hand as they both ran to the alter, laughter and cheers around them. Michonne stood by the man and was ready to join their lives together.
Over a year ago...
Michonne walked around her apartment that she called home for the last five years of her life and smiled sadly. It empty and bare. Her life stripped away from the surface but still she had a lot of memories. This was where Mike left her but this was also where she watched her son grow. Where she watched him take his first steps, utter his first words. Where he played and were she cried. This apartment had held her life. Michonne closed her eyes and smiled. As much as she was sad to leave the city, to leave this place, she knew that what was waiting for her was so much better. She felt it in her gut. So she looked at the place one more time before she closed the door and walked out not loking back at the place.
Rick woke up in the morning and felt that his arms were wrapped around someone's waist and that someone's hair was tickling his nose. When he opened his eyes he was met with a sea of blond hair and Rick smiled remembering is date last night with Jessie.
It was their second date last night and they went out to eat and drink. They've had their fair share of drinks and one thing lead to another and they have ended up in his bed together.
Rick smiled and kissed her shoulder. They have known each other for 3 months before as their son's were the same age and friends. Whenever they met the conversation just kept glowing and it was nice to feel attracted to another person again so after a very good first date they have decided to go out again and here they were.
"Good morning handsome." He heard him say making him smile and kiss her shoulder again.
"Morning, how did you sleep." He said his accent was thick with sleep.
"Like a baby ans its a shame i have to get going." Jessie turned around and kissed Ricks lips. Rick kissed her lips and groaned.
"Are you sure you have to get going." Rick said with a little pout on his lips that made him look so adorable. Jessie smiled and shook her head at Rick.
"I really do but i do have time for a shower." Jessie said and both ran to the shower laughing all the way there.
When they both finished Rick led Jessie to her front door kissing her softly.
"We should do something together soon with all of our children, they should get to know each other better now." Jessie said and Rick smiled. He did not feel like when he was a teenager when it came to this relationships. There was no butterflies in his stomach or crazy electricity like when he felt with Lori at the beginning but maybe he was too old for that and it felt good so maybe it was right.
"Yeah i have them next week so we should definitely do something then." Rick said and Jessie smiled. He walked her to her car and gave her one more kiss and watched as she got in and drove off. He was just about to turn and leave for his house when he saw a black blur running to his direction. He did not even have time to scream when the blur knocked the air out of his lung and pushed him on the ground slobbering all over him. Rick tried to get the black thing off him and tried to scream for help but he could not utter a word. He was stuck there on the ground.
"Bruno you big oaf get of the poor man now." Rick heard a voice shout and the black mass was off him. Rick sat up as quickly as he could coughing and retching trying to wipe the slobber of him. The person put something in his hand that from the touch resembled a cloth and he used it to wipe of his face. When he opened his eyes the sun blinded him for a second but soon a figure appeared before him. It was a woman. A very beautiful woman he might add and he looked at her with him mouth agape like a lunatic.
"Are you all right. Do you need anything." The woman said but Rick could not comprehend anything. It was like his brain was turned into a much. He still stared at the woman above him when from the side he heard cackling. It was very familiar and when it brought him out of the fog that he was under. He blinked rapidly and looked to his side to see his life long best friend on leaning against his car laughing and coughing and slapping his knee looking like an escaped mental patient. Next to him was his wide Andrea who was laughing behind her hand and next to them were their daughters and a little dark skinned boy who looked at the adults and also starting laughing.
Rick looked back at the woman above again and it seemed like he could not take his eyes away from her. She was single the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on. She had the darkest skin that looked so beautiful when the suns was reflected on it.
"Hey there let me help you up." Her voice was was so soft yet firm and it seemed like it was healing his soul. He shook his head and took the hand that she was extended toward him to help him up. He took it and it was like he was electrocuted thorough the whole body but the feeling stopped right in his heart.
"I am so sorry about him. He's just exited to have so much space." The woman said and Rick nodded an straightened his clothes. He saw his best friend walk over to them still laughing and put an arms around Michonne's shoulders.
"Don't worry Michie, he likes being on his ass." Shane said and Rick glared at him and looked at Michonne.
"It is fine, no damage has been done." Rick said offering Michonne a small smile. He did not understand but he just could not look away from this woman in front of him. Especially now when she was looking at him from under her insanely long eyeslashes and a small smile on her face.
"Are you sure?" Michonne asked and Rick could not help to smile at her.
"Yes i am fin. I don't believe we have been introduced properly I'm Rick.."
"Grimes, i know we have met at out friends wedding, but i am not sure you remember much you came drunk to the courthouse and you puked on my shoes after they said i do." Michonne interrupted him and Rick went red. He remembered or rather barely remembered his best friends wedding. It was far from traditional as the bride was 9 week pregnant, they decided to get married and they married that same week. It was the time where Rick and Lori decided to call it quits and Rick needed to let it go and what a best way to do it when you drink at your best friends bachelor party. He does not remember this woman and does not remember puking on her.
"I .. Well.. I .. Sorry..." Rick stuttered and Michonne let out a laugh and shook her head. The laugh went straight to his heart.
"It is fine now, water under the bridge. I still laugh about it. Well when your ready just come inside." Michonne looked at the both of them and Shane nodded.
"Will do Michie, we gonna help you unpack." Shane said and Michonne smiled and walked away. Rick's eyes went down to her bottom and he needed to suck in a breath.
Shane looked at his best friend and shook his head. Normally he would not say a think but Michonne was like a sister to him and she was his wife's best friend and he will protect her at any cost so he his Rick upside the head.
"If you are thinking of starting up something with Michonne than i suggest you end thinks with the hot widow." Shane said and Rick looked at his best friend confused.
"I have seen the way you look at her. Yeah she is lie unbelievably hot but she's not a play think Rick." Shane said.
"I wasn't thinking about anything brother trust me." Rick said and Shane nodded. He did clap his best friend on the shoulder thought and smiled at him proudly.
"Well look who's gotten laid." Shane said and Rick went red but thankfully for him a certain little person saved him.
"Uncle Shane what does getting laid mean?" The little boy stood there for God knows how long and looked at them with big brown eyes that will break hearts one day.
Shane looked at Rick and Rick looked at Shane both opening and closing their mouth not knowing what to say. Shane then took a big breath.
"Michonne is going to murder me and Andrea is gonna help her hide the body." Shane said under his breath that inly Rick would hear making the other man chuckle. The little boy was still patiently waiting so Shane picked him up and looked at him right in the eye.
"This is grown up talk okay buddy. I will tell you when you are older."Shane said and the boy looked at him curiously.
"You will tell me when i am four years old?" Andre said showing five fingers in his little hand making both men laugh. Rick smiled remembering happy times when Carl was this small.
"A little older buddy." Shane said as both of them started walking to the house.
"anyway continuing our previous conversation superman is better than anybody. Better than batman and better that spiderman. He is not from this world and that makes him better." Shane said and Andre looked at him with a frown on his face and pointing a finger at his uncle.
"No uncle Shane that is silly. Spiderman is the best one. He can swing from building to building and he has a cool costume beside mommy says he is the best and he is." Andre said.
"Well i cannot argue with that little man. If your momma says so it must be right." Shane said chuckling.
Inside the two best friends were unpacking one of the boxes as the girls were running around the house playing and laughing. Michonne looked and her son who was now put down by Shane and joined the girls. Both women heard the conversation between Shane and Andre and smiled. Rick looked at the women and then as Shane as they started to moved the bigger things. Michonne smiled softly and thanked the heaven for her dark skin so that the blush she was sporting was hidden. It was no brainer that the Sheriff was handsome. He was even back then when he was puking all over her very expensive shoes. But then she was still with Mike and he just finished his relationship. Michonne tore her eyes away from the handsome man and looked at the box.
"So did you see how Rick's eyes were glued to you since he saw you." Andrea said and Michonne looked at her with a glare that send shivers down Andrea's back. She hated those stared.
"Please my dog nearly licked him to death." Michonne said taking one glasses from the box and putting it in the cupboard.
"I bet he wished he was licked by you." Andrea whispered and Michonne whipped her head to look at her best friends. She immediately skanned the perimiter to check if anybody is there to hear what stupidity comes out of her best friends mouth.
"Andrea!" Michonne whisper shouted at her best friend making her laugh into her hands.
"What i am only saying that he was undressing you with his eyes." Andrea said and Michonne shook her head.
"No you were undressing Shane with your eyes. I know what is cooking in that head of yours. I know you to damn well." Michonne said and Andrea did not eve have the decensy to blush.
"I am ovulating and every time i get a whiff of Shane and it seems like i am a dog in heat. Seriously. I think i broke him last night." Andrea said and Michonne broke in full on laugher holding the table for support.
"My God Andrea only you. So you are trying for another child then?" Michonne asked her best friend.
"Yes. I know Shane loved his daughter more than anything in the world but i know he wants a little boy he can be a father to. You know his dad died when he was young and he wants to have that relationship with a son. We are trying for one more. If it is a girl we are giving up. Shane said it was not meant to be." Andrea said and Michonne smiled at her best friend but then it turned into a sad one. It was a long time since she had been with someone and she is lonely.
"Don't worry Michie we will find you a man that is worthy of you. Who knows it might be our Sheriff." Andrea said and Michonne punched her in the shoulder.
"Were you blind or did you not see the white girl he was kissing by the car." Michonne said and Andrea frowned.
"Oh please, she just a warm body. I know it." Andrea said smiling maniacally. Michonne looked at her with worry in her eyes. When Andrea smiled liked that thinks were about to change.
