AN: And away we go! I thought about giving back story like in one of the middle chapters when I was PMed. This time, it's what happened between Rick and Ericka from the last chapter.

Rick finally leaves the Recovery Room. Summer smokes again.

Morty is mostly trying to keep everyone stable and together, until Jerry fucks it up. God dammit Jerry!

Suicide attempt/Suicide mention warning! Sex is in this chapter too.

Also, there will be some sex near the end. The ship had to get somewhere and this is what's gonna happen. (First time writing sex in a fic ever so bear with me. XP)

I was listening to Something About Us by Daft Punk for the flashbacks. But the one near the end and the sex scene was inspired by MKTO's song Classic.

Chapter Nineteen:

Something About Us

Morty woke up later than usual. He heard water running from the bathroom.

He portaled to get Rick some clothes. Morty got all the essentials for him, since he didn't have anything to wear and he was not going to come out of there naked.

Rick took an extra long shower. He really needed to. He hadn't take one in four days.

Morty knocked on the door. "I-I'm coming in!" He opened the door with clothing in his arms.

Rick really didn't care if Morty saw his dick. He'd seen his and Morty had seen Rick's, almost three times. Each time when he walked in on each other by accident. But, they never talked about it.

Several Years Ago….

"Pers, get out! I-I'm in the d-damn shower!" Rick was covering his ding dong. He really wanted to shower in peace.

"Forgive me, Rick. I have someone who would like to see you." Bird Person knew he had overstepped his boundaries.

Rick sighed loudly. "Can it w-wait? I need to n-not smell like s-shit."

"It can. We'll be in my living room when you are done." Bird Person left Rick alone to finish cleansing himself.

"St-Stupid ass motherf-" Rick looked at the female who was standing at the door.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I disturb you?" The female looked at the floor.

"N-No! Hold on, I'm a-almost done, don't worry." He finished rinsing and got out of the shower.

There was something about her. He knew she wasn't human. Unless…. No, she was a different species.

Rick finished getting dressed. He came out in his lab coat and walked to the living room. "Sooo, who is this f-fine mamacita?"

"This, Rick, is Ericka Gemstone. She is a Maronite and Carbolite mixture. Ericka is the newest member of the Freedom Fighters." Bird Person looked at Rick then looked at Ericka.

"What gave y-you the idea t-to be a Freedom Fighter?" Rick was trying to make small talk.

Ericka looked scaredly and shyly at Rick before she spoke. "My sister is trying to hurt you and your friends, yes? I fight to protect vulnerable people and things across the Multiverse."

"Maronites fight for anyone to protect them. Also… Ericka, if you would like to explain your reproductive process, go on ahead." Bird Person knew Rick's game:

New girl equals having a new way of unprotected sex.

"Maronite females have both sperms and eggs, so the male is implanted with the fertilized egg from the female and have the child. They do the heavy work with a man vagina or a magina and no penis while the female protects her mate as he gives birth." Ericka had never had sex or anything like that.

Rick was not going to have sex with her, or any Maronite females for that matter. "I-Interesting. So, the females are like male humans whereas we don't have to do shit until the b-baby is born, since they don't have boobs. Cool."

Ericka laughed.

Rick moved in close to Bird Person. "This one's a keeper!"

Rick was almost done taking a shower. His hair was wetter than anything else.

He got out of the shower. He put the towel on below his bellybutton.

"Morty, you can look now. And gi-give me my shit." Rick tapped on Morty's shoulder.

"H-Here. Everything's there. I'll be outside when you're done." Morty left Rick in peace. He wasn't going to just stand there in the same room as Rick while he was naked. That was not a thing.

Rick put his clothes on. It really didn't take long. His hair, was another story. "God forbid my hair h-has to always pull this crap!"

Morty had Rick's flask that he refilled. He had extra liquor in his room in case one or both of them drank whatever they had.

"Q-Quick question: Where's m-my flask?" Rick looked at Morty.

Morty extended his arm and gave him the flask. He felt the flask be grabbed from him.

Rick tilted his head back and took a big swig. "H-Holy shIIUURRRPPPTTt! Rick S-Sanchez is back, baby!"

Morty smiled. He was glad to have normal Rick right now. Not starting to crack Rick, or sick Rick, his drunk asshole.

"L-Let's get out of here. I've been bored for the past f-four days." Rick looked genuinely happy to be healthy and drunk.

"Rick. Rick. RICK!"

Rick jolted up from the bed. He was in a hospital gown. He was confused. "W-What the hell happened? Wh-Where are we?"

Ericka looked at him with a sad expression. "We're in the hospital or Rebellion Recovery Room. You were stabbed and shot multiple times under my watch until you became unconscious and almost died. You are lucky to be alive, Sanchez."

Rick didn't like being called Richard or Sanchez. It wasn't his thing. "How'd w-we get here so f-fast? Where's Pers and Squanchy?" His head was still fuzzy from loss of blood.

"They are fine. I had to get you into one of the ships and fly us back, along with almost getting shot down. You went through surgery to try and get any vital organs healed." Ericka didn't lie about that. She wasn't good at the human anatomy but did a decent job giving him his stitches.

His side started hurting a lot. "F-Fucking SHIT!" Rick's side burned from the pain.

"I got this, don't worry." She saw how much pain Rick was in. Ericka took a syringe out, flicked it and then ejected him in the nearest artery.

Rick stopped crying once the pain subsided. "T-Thanks."

Ericka smiled knowing he was fine. "I have to get back out there and continue fighting. Take this. If you feel any pain, contact me." Ericka put the earpiece in his right ear.

"Got it. Don't die." Rick was afraid for her, even though she could handle this on her own.

"I won't. Oh and Rick…. Don't get in the way of my sister again. I'm her main target and I can handle her." Ericka wanted to know he knew that she was dangerous.

"F-Fine. Just… Get out there and k-kick ass." Rick was starting to fall asleep.

"I will come back alive. Sanchez, for the time being, rest okay? You need to heal properly." She kissed his forehead.

She left to her ship. Rick never meant for this to happen. "S-Stupid."

He dozed off. He started crying in his sleep. There was nothing to do to make it up to her.

"I-I'll be right back. I need to get some crap." Rick left.

Morty walked to his room. He smelled cigarette smoke coming from Summer's room. Morty knocked on her door. "S-Summer! We're back."

Summer came to see who was really at the door. "M-Morty? You a-and grandpa R-Rick leave, and then don't e-even tell me about w-what really happened after t-the fight!"

Morty was disgusted by the cigarette smoke coming off of Summer. "Jesus Summer. We didn't get arrested or anything. I just had to help Rick heal, that's all. You didn't have to go back to smoking."

"Y-Yes I did. I-I didn't know if y-you'd ever come back." Summer started to cry. She had a cig in her hand and put it in her mouth.

"I'll be in my room if you need me." Morty walked off.

He opened the door and closed it fast. Morty took out his flask he carried everywhere, he pushed himself against the door, sank down to the floor and took a huge swig while tears rolled down his cheeks. "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub."

Morty knew his mom wasn't handling anything well and Jerry was still upset about him breaking his arm. It was his fault for this mess.

Rick smelled cigarette smoke from Summer's room. "G-Gross."

He knocked on Summer's door three times. "Summer, i-it's grandpa. I need to ta-talk to you."

Summer opened her door again, letting out a gust of smoke. "Grandpa?" Tears pricked at her eyes. She hugged him tight.

"Careful with t-the stitches." Rick hugged her back.

"S-Sorry. Are you o-okay?" Summer looked at Rick straight in the face. She still had tears coming out of her eyes.

Rick was happy to see his granddaughter, just not like this. "I-I'm fine. Since when h-have you been s-smoking?"

"It b-became a habit after you go-got arrested. I stopped, then s-started again. I just t-thought…." Summer looked to the left. She was trying to keep herself stable.

Rick looked at her utterly dumbfounded. "It became a habit after I, the king of not giving a fuck and worst being in the multiverse left? Wow, I must've made more of an impact on this family than I thought."

He wanted to stay stable too. It was hard since things happen to everyone and sometimes they might think someone might never come back. "Summer, y-you do realize your b-brother drank during that time too, r-right."

"Y-Yeah…. He al-also tried to commit suicide on m-m-multiple occasions and I h-had to stop h-him on multiple occasions." Summer wasn't a fond of talking behind her brother's back after the wedding incident.

"How ma-many times did he try?" Rick was trying not to tear up. "He really is like me….."

"I rea-really don't feel comfortable t-talking about it. M-Morty might tell you though." Summer didn't want to piss off her brother more than she had.

"Okay, I-I'll try it with your b-brother. Thanks anyways, Summer." Rick walked to Morty's room.

Morty was at his desk, with his gun in hand. He had the gun up to his temple and almost pulled the trigger when he remembered the note underneath it. "S-Stop it Morty. He needs you a-as much as you need h-him."

He put his gun down on the paper and laid face first on his bed and cried more. Morty couldn't help it, he was still a teenager like Summer. His hormones were everywhere.

Rick unlocked Morty's door and walked in. He saw a flask on the floor, and his gun was moved.

Morty was unaware of Rick's presents until he felt the bed move and a hand run down his back.

"A-Are you okay, Morty?" Rick was concerned about his grandson.

"I-I'm fine….." Morty lifted his head up a bit. He didn't feel fine at all, and he really didn't want to talk about it.

"Morty." Rick looked at him. His eyes were bloodshot and he smelled strongly of alien alcohol.

Morty sat up. He lunged at Rick and wrapped his arms around him. "T-This was all my fault! Everything! Th-The crap said after the wedding, on Dwarf Terrace-9, and what I said after my dad said you didn't care was a lie! I-I'll love you no matter what."

Rick was surprised that Morty would love the king that gives no damn fucks no matter what. "H-Hey…. I'm not going to b-blame you. It was th-the heat of the moment th-that brought it out. I-I knew you didn't mean it that w-way. I was under th-the house when the argument h-happened."

"Y-You were? Did we u-upset you?" Morty looked up at Rick. He was still shaking from crying and was expecting to be told off.

"I w-won't say "upset"." Rick laughed slightly. He could tell that Morty was upset about all of this.

Morty could hear Rick's heartbeat and it calmed him down a bit. He stopped crying and just sat there.

"I-If you think that I'm g-gonna leave again, that's not happening in a m-millennia." Rick started rocking Morty's upper body back and forth.

They sat like that for a while until they heard someone banging the door.

Jerry came to the door and knocked on it hard. "MORTY! LET ME IN!"

"I'll be back when your dad isn't here. I might be talking to Eri." Rick moved from the bed and left the room by portal.

"What the hell do you want?" Morty was still pissed off at him for everything he did.

"I thought- I thought I heard Rick with you." Jerry was surprised to see Rick not in the room.

"You heard wrong. Dad, just… Go already! I don't wanna talk to you." Morty walked into his room and Jerry followed like a sheep.

"Awe come on! I just wanna talk to my only son." Jerry wanted to do something right by maybe talking to Morty.

"Just stop, dad! I don't want to talk to you. You ruined my life!" Morty sank down by the bed. His flask was empty and he couldn't drink anything to numb him.

"You ruined it yourself! You know as well as I do that you have a disabilit-"

"I don't have a disability! I just…. Learn differently. You and all my teachers never believed in me, but…. Rick always had. He said I had a special mind, and I-I do. You just have to have faith in me." Morty flipped Jerry off.

"Just go with mom. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Now if you shall excuse me, I need to meet up with someone. Leave. I need to call them and I don't want you to be in here." Morty pushed Jerry out of his room.

"Rick, you can come back in." Morty gave Rick more privileges to come into his room then he gives his own dad.

He portaled back into the room. "How'd i-it go?"

"Punkass bitch wouldn't leave me alone, not to mention I had no liquor to keep me from kicking his ass again. I-I was becoming unstable and undone." Morty looked to the side.

"What'd he s-say to you?" Rick was curious on how to kick his ass or make him pay. Nothing would fix what Jerry did on prom night, to him and what he was doing to his family.

"He was about to talk about my learning disability, but I told him that I….. Just…. Learn differently and that he needed to put faith in me to do better." Morty grabbed his arm awkwardly.

"I'm glad that Jerry i-isn't here right now. I'd kick his ass back to Dwarf Terrace-9." Rick ruffled Morty's hair.

"I-I have my first date with Eri tonight. Could you give me some advice to not screw up?" Morty never thought he'd be asking for advice from Rick. Especially dating advice.

"Okay, the number one thing is…. If you come back, either end the date or get schwifty with her. That got me through a lot of bad dates. If it's bad, end it. If it's amazing, get schwifty. Just make sure she wants it." Rick winked.

"I'm gonna tell you from experience that sex is amazing. Y-You feel really good and it's a pretty awesome thing that you do i-in your life." Rick had sex a lot when he was younger, well when he was with the Flesh Curtains mostly.

And when he babysat Morty when he was a baby.

"So, Sanchez has grandchildren? Cool. Who are they?" Ericka was hanging out with Bird Person while Rick was out doing something.

"I haven't met them, but Rick said their names are Summer and Morty. Summer is older and Morty is a couple months old." Bird Person was really unaware of who they were, but when Rick found out, he was happier than ever.

"Aww! So Morty is younger than Summer? He must be adorable!" Ericka loved babies. She had been taken in by her second cousins when her parents were murdered by Veronica. They helped out in a nursery where she stayed with the small children.

Rick portaled in the house with a small child in his arms. "Beth told me to watch Morty while her, Jerry and Summer leave for the week. I'm excited for this."

Ericka turned around to see Rick holding his grandson in his arms. "Hold on, that's Morty? He's so adorable!"

Rick smiled down at Morty. "H-Hey buddy. I'm your grandpa Rick and I-I'm gonna be taking care of you for the week. I knoOOURRPPWWww this is unfamiliar to you, but you're in good hands. I p-promise."

Morty laughed when Rick burped. He'd just been fed by his mom and he burped back at Rick, giggling happily. "I-I can see how we're related now." He put down Morty on the floor.

He started walking around the room, falling a couple times. Morty looked up at the strange bird man and giggled.

"Sanchez, can I hold him? Pleeeeease?" Ericka looked like she was praying to God.

"You can, as long as we can mash it up tonight. When, he's asleep." Rick winked at her.

"Only protected though. I am not going to help you if you get pregnant." Ericka walked over to pick up the child and cradled him in her arms.

"Hi. I'm Ericka, your grandpa's ally in combat. I know for a fact that he'll take good care of you." She rocked him back and forth.

"I-I never knew you were so go-good with kids." Rick stood next to Ericka. He saw Morty fall asleep in her arms.

Rick hummed a tune he remembered the lyrics to, but didn't want to sing.

"H-He looks so cute when h-he's sleeping. Now that he is… Mash it up?" Rick looked at her with his head turned.

"Fine, but wear a condom. If it makes you feel any better, I'll wear a condom too." Ericka smirked at him. She had never "Mashed it up" with a human before.

"Deal. Pers, can you watch him for the time being. It won't take long." Rick looked at Bird Person. He really wanted to do this.

"I will do this for you, Rick. Just take care of him for the rest of your babysitting job." Bird Person took Morty from him.

"Everything is in the bag. I-I'm telling you this incase he w-wakes up while we're in my room." Rick looked at Bird Person when he gave him the bag.

Rick looked over at Morty before they left to his room. "I-I'll be back in a w-while, buddy. For the t-time being, be good to Pers f-for me, okay?" He smiled at Morty before leaving to his room.

"Let's doOOOURRP this."

Morty was out with Ericka for a while eating dinner at a diner.

When they finally got out, Ericka tried to start her motorcycle. "Damn it! My motorcycle won't start."

"Hey, let me try to hotwire it. I might electrocute myself, but it's fine." Morty found the wires that he needed to start it up.

He electrocuted himself and started it up. "We tell Rick nothing about this. Kapeash?" His hair stood up like Rick's.

"Kapeash. You can drive this time, Sanchez. Ready to get schwifty?" Ericka held on to him tight.

Morty revved the engine. "Hell Yeah, MOTHER FUCKA! Once we get to a wall, pop a portal."

The engine was fixed, and also tuned up a bit. Which made it fast as all hell. They left at the speed of light.

"Holy crap! Whoo hoo!" Ericka felt so alive.

"Portal! Now!" Morty was about to reach a wall.

She took out her portal gun and fired it at the wall.

Morty parked the motorcycle perfectly. "Damn. Now, let's get schwifty!" He had his hoodie on and put up his hood.

They both walked to Morty's room. "Milady." He opened his door and let her in first.

"Shut up dude. Shouldn't you tell Rick no to, you know?" Ericka didn't want for their night to get ruined by anyone.

"I'm already doing that." Morty was waiting for Rick to pick up.

"What's goin on dude?" Rick was out getting drunk.

"Whenever you come back, don't come in my room for a while. I got an amazing date status and craps bout to happen." Morty wanted to establish what was going on.

"I w-w-won't interfere with w-what you're doing. I promise, plus…. Bro code." Rick was halfway to passing out.

"Bro code. I'll call you later." Morty turned off his communicator. He locked the door and disabled the keypad along with making his room sound proof.

"How do you want to do this? Like do I take off everything or what?" Ericka knew how to have sex. She just didn't know how Morty had sex since everyone has different methods.

"Take everything off but your bra. And I see your face no matter what." Morty stripped and sat on the bed.

Ericka stripped too, until she got to her bra. Morty bit her neck hard and pushed her on the bed. "Moan for me baby."

Morty moved to her earlobe and bit it. He started kissing her neck and went down. She whined loudly.

Precum was dripping out from the head of Morty's cock. Ericka started sucking on Morty's dick.

She finally stopped sucking on his dick. She moaned loudly.

"Just do it. Fuck me Morty. Fuck me!"

Morty locked lips with Ericka. Their teeth grinned together. He put his dick in her vagina and swung his hips back and forth, pushing his dick further and further into her labia. He stopped kissing her.

"Say my name. Tell me you're a slut who loves me. Do it!" Morty went back in to make out with her.

"OH MORTY! FUCK ME HARDER YOU MOTHERFUCKING BASTARD!" She felt her bra getting removed from her body. She really didn't care. It just…. Felt weird for someone else to unclip her bra.

He put her bra on the floor and went back to making the magic happen. Morty licked her boobs and sucked on them. He'd only had sex once and that was when he when he got the sex robot from Gazorpazorp.

They both had an orgasm at the same time. His was shorter than her's. Morty took his dick out of her vagina and stuck it in her ass. "You like this, don't ya baby?"

She whined in reply. His dick was further up her ass then she even realized.

"I-I'm gonna….. C-Cum!" He did. Morty removed his dick from her ass and laid there with her. They both tried to catch their breath.

"That was…. The best sex.. I've ever had." Morty looked at her. She was really tired.

"Same…. This is the first time I had unprotected sex. I was a virgin." Ericka looked at her Senpai.

She knew what she did to him. He was going to have a hell of a time carrying around a baby inside him for a day. Rick was smart to wear a condom when they had sex. Morty risked it.

She slept with Morty through the night, feeling guilty for giving him the child to carry with him when the time comes.

AN: This chapter took so damn long! I had to describe what happened towards the end, the flashbacks and all the sex crap.

The baby won't be in the story until the sequel.

I also will try to write two stories at once! I want to make a cute little fic about Rick taking care of a very young Morty and the four year old version that was in Make It Go Away. I really want to, but I'll wait until this story is done.

This part in the story will be finished in a five or six more chapters.

Stay Schwifty my friends!
