Chapter 3: Family
Maggie was in the kitchen preparing chicken for dinner and singing softly to herself. It was a quiet evening which she welcomed after the day they have had. Half of the crops were taken today the rest will be done tomorrow. Maggie felt a little lighter knowing that they will be fine for the winter. With the right preservation and precautions they will be better than okay. As she was about to put the chicken in the oven she felt familiar arms wrapping around her waist and lips kissing her neck. Maggie moaned contently and smiled.
"Where have you been so long. Dinner is almost ready." Maggie said turning around to look at Glenn who kissed her softly once again.
"I was helping Abe put the things away. Tomorrow and we are finishing with all the crops. We can pickle the vegetables, we will put the potatoes in every ones basement that will last the winter, the mills will turn the crops into flour, the animals will have a helter an food. We re good for the winter Maggie." Glenn said and Maggie smiled relieved.
"That's great, at least we will not starve when the winter comes. I am just a little worried about the electricity, if we will have enough." Maggie said and looked worried again. Glenn looked at his wife and chuckled.
"Maggie you need to stop worrying. The summer was hot and the generators took as much energy as they could, we've put the wind turbines as well so please stop stressing. We've done what we could Maggie. The stress is not good for our son." Glenn said and Maggie nodded and let Glenn massage her shoulders a little.
"What would i do without you?" Maggie said looking lovingly and Glenn.
"Worry yourself to death most likely." Glenn said kissing her nose.
"Stop pretending that you don't know who the Jonas brothers are because i swear i heard you sing one of their songs." Glenn and Maggie heard Tara say in a teasing voice fallowed by Enid's laughter. They went to inspect them in the living an room and the pair saw both Tara and Enid setting the table and laughing while teasing each other.
"Okay, okay guilty as charged i used to listen to them when they were popular. What do you expect me, i was about 10 years old and all my friends liked them too. You are the one that should be embarrassed, you were old and listening to them. " Enid said while Tara looked at her offended at Enid.
"Old? Old? I was not old you little brat. I just started collage and they were kinda hot looking like butch lesbians so i digged them okay." Tara said throwing a wipe at Enid. Both of them burst out laughing.
Glenn and Maggie looked at each other and smiled. They knew that they belonged to bigger family but this right here was their own little family. They treated Enid like a daughter and Tara like a sister. The four of them just fit together. Maggie found the family that he had lost along the way again.
It was nice to see the two of them laughing now as both Maggie and Enid never did that before. Enid after losing he parent and Tara finding out that she lost Dennise. It took them months but they were here now and they seemed to be happy.
"Come on now tell me who , marry, hook up and kill? Tell me." Tara asked asked Enid who turned red and began to laugh.
"okay okay, i would hook up with Kevin, marry Nick and kill Joe." Enid said and Tara hollered and held up a hand for Enid to give a high five.
"Me too sister." Tara said and both of the girls laughed not knowing that they were being watched.
"Well i always had the hots for Joe, he was quite cute." Maggie said putting down the salad on the table.
"Ewww he is the worst out of the Jonas brothers. Really Maggie yu have no taste." Tara said and Maggie looked at her with mock hurt.
"Excuse me but do you see the hot piece of ass i snagged myself right here. During the apocalypse i might add." Maggie said pointing at Glenn who blushed a little when she said that but send her an air kiss
"Exactly and i've got the hottest woman here so i am the most macho in the bunch." Glenn said and Maggie laughed.
"Well that might change soon cause i can snag myself a pretty woman as well soon enough." Tara said ad her eyes went wide and she covered her face, the trio looked at her an oohed and ahhed and her n began to make funny noises making Tara hide her face in her hands.
"Look like someone has the hots for the doctors fried. Was Valerie her name." Glenn said and Tara punched him in the shoulder.
"Yes i have seen them talking and Tara was blushing so bad." Enid said and Maggie laughed at her.
"Well i for one i am very happy for you Tara." Maggie said and Tara looked at Maggie with an thankful expression.
"Still no matter how hot she is Maggie is still hotter." Glenn said and kissed Maggie's cheek.
"I feel like the odd one out in this conversation a i am the only one not talking about hot females." Enid said and Tara looked at Enid with a gleeful expression.
"Well Carl is very pretty for a boy." She said and dogged the punch that Enid threw at her. Maggie was quiet for a second before looking at Glenn with gdaggers in her eyes.
"You think Valerie is hot?" Maggie asked Glenn and he looked at her with a lost expression.
"I don't... I mean i am not.. I." Glenn stumbled on his word but Maggie was not budging.
"You know what forget it. You can sleep on the couch tonight." Maggie said leaving the dinning room pissed. The trio was left speechless at her departure. Tara looked at Glenn with a look full of compassion and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I think you just learned a valueless lesson. Never say another girls is hot next to your pregnant wife." She said and both girls laughed hard and Glenn fallowed his wife.
The laughter could be heard from the Grimes household, something that was a happening more and more for the last couple of months. Inside Rick and Michonne were playing poker by the coffee table, Carl was in t he kitchen looking through the fridge and Judith was on the floor playing with her toys on the floor.
"You cheated!" Michonne shouted as she lost another round of poker. She pointed an accusative finger at Rick who looked at her in mock offence.
"I did not! How could you accuse me of something like that. I will let you know that i take poker very seriously. I would never do something like that." Rick said with a hand on his heart and a sad puppy look on his face.
"Yes you are, you are a filthy cheater and a liar to that. I don't know why i put up with you." Michonne said shaking her head at Rick who still playing the role of the victim.
"Ho could you say that. I was a police officer, i despise lying." Rick said making Michonne laugh and throw her card at him.
"Yes you are. I know when you re lying. You always look up and bite your left cheek. You are lying Mr. Grimes and i am not having it." Michonne said and Rick looked down at being caught. He took the two cards out of his sleeve and looked at Michonne with a puppy look. Michonne gasped at him and crossed her arms over her chest with a stern look on her face.
"See you cheated and lied to me, you know what that means. Separation." Michonne sid and looking at Rick with narrowed eyes.
"Oh really, you sure that is what you want." Rick said chuckling.
"Yes that is what i want. I cannot live with a man that lies to me. I could never trust you." Michonne said with a smile on her face.
"If that is what you want. I guess you will be taking another bedroom." Rick said with a smile on his face putting the cards away.
"No i need to take another house, i will not stay in this house with you. I will take the kids and then we can agree when you can see them" Michonne said with a cute look on her face and a smile
"Oh really you want to take our kids away from me? I cannot let you do that." Rick said standing up from the couch.
"Yes i will, i will not leave our children here. They are coming with me they like me better anyway. Ask Carl" Michonne said seeing the look in Rick's eyes who then looked at Carl who was eating the leftovers from dinner.
"Who do you wanna live with after we break up son? Rick asked Carl who looked from his food and looked his dad straight in the eye.
"Michonne, she is a better cook." Carl said and Michonne looked at Rick and shouted "HA!" at him. Rick shook his head and pounced on Michonne and began to tickle her mercilessly. Michonne began to shriek and laugh and try to get away from him but Rick overpowered her.
"Take it back Michonne, take it back that you are leaving me." Rick said as he watched Michonne laugh and squirm trying to get away from Rick.
"i take it back please stop i take it back." Michonne said gasping fro air but Rick was not stopping enjoying the laughing Michonne to much.
"Say your not leaving me." Rick said laughing at Michonne who tried to get away from him.
"i take it back please Rick, i take it back, stop." Michonne said and Rick stopped. Michonne was gasping for air and wiping her eyes and looked at Rick with narrowed eyes.
Carl stood in the kitchen and smiled at the scene. In all of his life his father never was one to joke, even before the shit hit the world it was a rare accurance. His dad was always so serious, always fighting with mom. Then he had the burden of keeping people alive. Carl saw his dad laugh and smile when he was with Michonne, in fact she was like a ray of sunshine for all of them. Even Carl who was angry and sad most of the time laughed and smiled because of her. She was a godsend to them. He was their happiness.
Michonne got up from the couch and moved as far away from him as possible. She took a laughing Judith in her arms never taking eyes of Rick.
"Your sleeping on the couch mister for what you did to me. Is it nice to abuse the mother of your children." Michonne asked and hugged Judith close to her.
"I would never." Rick said offended but a smile still present at her face.
"Yeah you did, i have evidence of your abuse and children will come with me." Michonne said sticking her tongue at him. Rick laughed and at the same time so did Carl. Rick stopped laughing and looked at Carl with narrowed eyes.
"I don't know what you are laughing about. You chose to leave me." Rick said at Carl and stood up from the couch. Carl knew that look, he put the leftovers down and looked at Michonne for help. She just gave him a look and tried to leave the room undetected. Rick pounced on Carl but he evaded him and began to run away from his dad laughing at the top of his lungs. He was successful for some time but the Rick pounced on him again and they fell on the couch and began to tickle his son. Michonne stood there with Judith in her arms laughing and Judith copying her mother laughed as well. Laughter and shrieks of happiness couple be hard from the Grimes household.
Later that night Rick was watching Michonne as she put lotion on her legs. He had a full view of her but in her sleep shorts and his dick stirred in his boxers. In her presence he felt like a teenager boy again. In love teenage boy. Rick find her so beautiful and he was thankful that he found her in this horrible world.
"You look beautiful do you know that." Rick said just as she turned around and she looked at him and chuckled.
"Thank you Mr. Grimes, you are quite handsome yourself." Michonne said with a soft smile on her face. She then got into the bed and into opened arms of her man who kissed her forehead. Rick pushed her on her back and kissed her more passionately feeling her breast and making her moan softly into the kiss.
"You know i am never letting you go right?" Rick said breathlessly as he broke the kiss. Michonne looked at him with a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Michonne asked Rick playing with his curls at the back of his head.
"Earlier i know we were just joking about the separation, but it will never be an option. I will not let you go Michonne. I love you." Rick said with soft eyes but she knew he meant business.
"I know you are not but neither am i Rick. Your stuck with me forever." Michonne said bringing Rick for a kiss. This time another sets of sounds filled the air of the Grimes bedroom.
