23: rest
Michonne's P.O.V
Beep Beep Beep
"Come home Meesh, I miss you." Mike whispered. He whispered so faintly that I could barely hear him.
"I don't want to. I don't want to love you anymore." I jarred, folding my arms and squinting my eyes.
"You don't have a choice." His fists balled up and suddenly,
My eyes shot open.
The alarm clock along side the bed was blaring like hell, and I still hadn't even reconciled from such a terrible dream.
I dreamed that Mike came all the way to King's County to take me back to Atlanta-- but I wouldn't let him because I am happy with the way my life is right noe, and if I would've stayed asleep long enough, the nightmare would've gotten real ugly. Hence home cracking his knuckles.
Mopingly, I slammed mt hand agaisnt the snooze button on the clock, without even glancing st the time.
WAIT
TODAY IS MONDAY.
I quickly shot up and stared at the clock. It read 8:27 and then I died a little on the inside when I remembered Andre has to be to Pre-K at 8:45.
I won't make it in time and I'll mess up her perfect attendance and arrival streak!
I then glanced over, but Rick wasn't there. His side of the bed had been made up and I was literally the only one in the room. Maybe even the house for that matter because it was so quiet.
I got to my feet and ran to Andre's room. I have to get him dressed and I have to do it quick!
But.. he wasn't there?
Okay.. this us when Panic!
"ANDRE!!!! RICK!!! CARL?"
I paced the hallway, checking into the rooms and closets, and I discovered that even Carl's room was empty. I mean for once it wasn't trashed with dirty clothes and comic books.
"Michonne, sweetie we're downstairs!" Rick yelled from the bottom of the stair well.
I quickly turned around and ran Chen my shmmm the stairs, but I only sped walked down them.
And there they were.
Andre was sitting to the table with Carl, both eating a bagel with cream cheese and a banana.
My favorite.
Andre had on a blue checkered shirt, with blue jeans and white comverse. He was so cute!
As for Carl, he wore a Metallica shirt, with a black and red flannel wrapped around his waist. His jeans were skinny, and ripped, and his shoes were red boots.
Rick leaned against the table with his bagel and a small mug of coffee, he smiled at me as I slowly dragged myself into kitchen.
"Good morning. What's going on?" I asked, confounded as hell. I had no idea that I kept hitting snooze button until I overslept.
"Morning," Carl and Andre said, ironically at the same time.
"Just got the kids up, made them get dressed, fixed them a little something to eat before I dropped them off at school."
"Really?" I smiled.
Ever since I moved in, I was the one to wake the kids up and send them off. It felt nice for a change.
"Yes. And I will be doing it from now on." He whispered "you need your rest."
"Excuse us," I smiled whilst staring at the boys.
I grabbed Rick by his belt and pulled him out the kitchen and into the living room where we could talk in private.
"You know I'm barely a month pregnant. I can still do things on my own."
"Just please get some sleep Michonne, please."
His half grin and his solid blue eyes always had a way with me. They always made me compromise with him, or either let him have his way.
He slowly bent down and kissed my lips. He broke the silence and I hugged him in return.
"Now, I've gotta go. I'll see you later sweetie."
"Okay," I nodded "I love you."
I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him closer, we were face to face and he whispered softly, I love you too.

Rick's been gone for 17 minutes and I want to cry. I just want to cuddle and watch scary movies all day!
I miss him, ugh!
Maybe I should just pay him a visit at work.. but what if he's not there?
I'm such a cry baby.
Instead, I stayed inside all day and listened to queen. It was relaxing but I know I can't do this every single day of my pregnancy. I gotta get out and do something.
