This is rated T and in the "whatever" category.

They laid in comfortable silence for a while. Michonne on her back and Rick on her chest. She had missed him terribly during the past three months, but he was here now and she didn't have to think about the past anymore.

She grazed his scalp with her nails which resulted in him nuzzling closer to her. She snorted because he really was a big baby after trying to prove her otherwise.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"You are." She said, kissing his head.

"Yeah? Why is that?" He shifted to look up at her.

"You're so different than when we first met." She paused. "You seem to not be able to function like a regular human being when I'm not around. This is drastically different than the Rick Grimes who hated me with a passion of a thousand burning suns five years ago."

"I never hated you." He whispered, knowing that a part of what she was saying was somewhat true.

"Yes you did, you hated me for a while." She finished.

"I just wanted your attention." He truthfully admitted. She had ignored him for an entire semester in college and he didn't know how to deal with her 'rejection' so he turned to anger which could easily be mistaken for hate. Every time he would see her he would sneer, making sure that she knew that he disliked her. She however, paid no mind to it. "I didn't like the fact that you didn't-"

"No, you needed my attention because you're needy." She said as he kissed her shoulder. "You're a man-child, you know that?" He scoffed. "You used to make a face whenever you saw me." He blushed. "I thought it was the cutest thing, but Lori thought it would give you wrinkles." She rolled her eyes.

There was a pause before she started again.

"What happened to that girl anyway?" She asked as Rick rolled his eyes. "Don't give me that you were so in love with her, remember?"

"I never said that."

"No, but she did." She snickered. "She would burst into our dorm room telling us about all the sweet things that you did. I'm not gonna lie, I was quite jealous of her."

He raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Well yeah, who doesn't want a guy to go down on her and expect nothing in return?"

"Wow, 'Chonne, is that all I'm good for?" He said as he started to get up in mock hurt.

"I mean..." She grabbed his arm. "I'm kidding! I missed you."

"How much?" He lowered himself on her stomach again.

"A lot." She tugged at his beard. "Do you have to go back?" He sighed. "It's not a rule is it?"

He enveloped her in his arms. "I have to."

"If I told you I was pregnant, would you stay?"

He pulled back to look her in the eye. "Are you pregnant?" He asked, a little bit hopeful and a little bit scared.

"No..." Her eyes welled up he sighed a breath of relief. "But I can be if that means that you get to stay here."

"That's not how it works, babe."

"There has to be a loophole." She said looking into his eyes.

"I would have to be pregnant." He joked and after a beat he asked. "Do you want to have a baby?"

She was looking at the ceiling and not at him. "Yes."

He rubbed her flat stomach. "I'll be back for good before you know it and we'll spend the entire time I'm back making this baby and then some." She laughed. "We'll name him Carl or some shit and he'll be absolutely perfect."

"Why are you adamant that it'll be a boy? It could be a girl."

He ignored her and lifted her shirt. He kissed her stomach. "Soon this belly will be plump with my seed." She snorted despite her tears. "And I'm going to make sure it happens."

She covered her eyes to stop him from seeing her cry. "Just stay." She begged.

"I want to, but I can't. I just got here and I don't leave for another month, so let's make the best of it, okay?"

She wiped her tears again and nodded. "Okay." He kissed her. "I just want to know, why did you not approach me earlier on in college and asked me what my deal was?"

He blushed even harder. "Every time I tried to approach you I would get a hard on. I don't think that was appropriate seeing that I was with Lori and you two were friends. It was easier to be angry at you because then at least it wasn't as noticeable." She stared at him for a long time before cackling in his face. "Shut up." He said and she laughed even louder.

"Holy fuck." She said, once she calmed down.

"Happy now?" He asked, annoyed and mortified.

"Very." She replied, wrapping her legs around him and holding him like the needy man he really was.
