(Sorry in advance!! Really long chapter bc this is the kickstart.)

Rick's P.O.V

"Rick," I heard a small voice echo in the back of my head as I slept.
I ain't slept this well in ages, god knows why.

"Rick, wake up!" the voice got a little louder and that's when I remember where I was and what had happened.

I jumped up in a hurry and grabbed my gun, as Michonne stood her guard as well with her katana.

We were both naked, aiming our weapons at the new guy, "Jesus".

"We need to talk." he said.

In the corner of my eye, I could see Michonne standing her ground. So tall and beautiful and gorgeous as a goddess.

Flashbacks from last night began to pop into my head,
I kissed her and I kissed her like I was drowning and she was my air.
And after that, I picked her up, carried her to the room and layed her down.

I remember staring at her for a while. She was so beautiful to me and I don't know why I began to freeze up.

She sat up and pulled me down by my tight blue shirt, ripping it, and kissing me, pulling me closer and closer.

And then the flashbacks were gone....

I placed my eyes back on Jesus, and watched him eye Michonne up and down.

"Hey!" I lifted my gun a little higher at him, grabbing his attention.

"Keep your eyes to yourself, and get out of here." I said

I tried to be as quiet as possible, I didn't want to wake the kids.

"Look, nothing I haven't seen before and trust me, nothing I want," he looked at Michonne and mouthed 'sorry' then back at me, "I just wanna talk."

This time, Michonne spoke, "Give us time to change. You can wait downstairs, Just don't wake the kids." she said

Jesus nodded at us and trotted backwards, "see you there."

When Jesus left, it was just Michonne and I.

Man it was so awkward.

"help me find my clothes." she demanded.

Michonne has never really been the type to ask, she always tells me to move, or do this or do that, But that's okay because know she means well.

We looked for her clothes, and found only her shirt, so I threw her my pants and told her to put them on.

"Thank you." she whispered
I wanted to kiss her. I did. God, she was so beautiful.

I froze again and this time she noticed, "Rick, lets go. He's down there doing only God knows what."

Right! I grabbed a sheet and wrapped it around my waist and ran out the room.....

Only to be met by my son..pointing a gun at Jesus' head.

Atta boy! But nooo,

I looked back to make sure Michonne was okay and fully dressed.

"Hey, carl, um." I couldn't speak.

My mouth started getting dry at the way he looked at me. He looked angry. I wouldn't blame him. I kinda just had se-- amazing sex, with his best friend.

A few seconds later, I heard more footsteps. And there was the whole town almost, staring up at naked me and half dressed michonne.
------------------------------------------------------

The crew had a talk with Jesus, and we decided to go to his home. Because we didn't have choice really.. It's our only way to food. We need food.

I cant have Carl or Judith or Michonne starving. We have to do what we gotta do. Making it now..

I walked over to Carl as he filled the gas tank of the RV up.

"We'll only be gone a little while." I said

Carl got up and looked back at Michonne bringing boxes back and forth.

Damn it.

"Look, I was gonna tell you about michonne,"
His face still looked like he was gonna punch me in mine any moment now.

"It just happened, it just happened. Last night," I'm assured him

He still wasn't having it and I began to feel no hope.

"This is- this is different."
And it was. Michonne was nothing like Jessie.
When I kissed Jessie, it made me realize I was ready to love again, and I want to love Michonne. She is all I want. I have known her for a while and I can't keep lying to myself, I want Michonne.
She is an amazing mother to Judith and Carl and she is a warrior. I don't know how she feels about me, but I know I haven't felt this great about someone since... Lori..

Carl finally smiled at me and said "It's cool."

I sighed with relief. Because that was all I needed. Acceptance from my son.
I'm going to go after her now, because she is what I want.

As she walked by Carl and I with Abraham, I pulled her to the side into a hug, in which she awkwardly hugged me back.

"He's fine with it..." I whispered.

I looked off into the distance, with my hands on my belt simply because I couldn't look her in the eye.

"I'm glad." she said
She smiled, but not showing her teeth.

"Me too." I added
I kissed her temple and walked away, like the sheriff bad ass that I am.
------------------------------------------------------

Michonne's P.O.V

I'm relieved to know that Carl is okay with what me and his dad did. Carl means a lot to me and it would suck if he didn't want us to be a thing.

I walked to the back of the RV to load the boxes until I accidentally bumped into Carl and Judith.

"Woah," he said.

"Sorry," I tried to ease pass him to save myself from the awkwardness.

"Hey, Michonne, I need my eye patch changed before you go." Carl said

"Yeah, right, let's go do that really quickly." I said

We made our way back to our house and dropped Judith off with Gabriel on the way.

Inside the house, Carl stretched out on the chair and watched me get everything ready.

I stayed quiet because I can't even imagine what he thought of me now.

"Why so quiet?" he asked, picking up a magazine and reading it in the air.

"I'm not." I said

"You're a bad liar." he chuckled.

Hmph. I remained silent for a while which made him sit up and talk to me.

"What's wrong michonne?" he asked.

"Nothing, nothing." I nodded.

He sighed, "It's because everyone knows, huh?" he asked

I wanted to deny it but I couldn't because that truly was the reason.
People saw Rick and I as brother and sister but we aren't and I don't want to mess up my reputation or Rick's.

I just stared at Carl for a moment and then kept on doing what I was doing.

"Talk to me!" He demanded.
His face was very serious now and he had his sheriffs hat on, so I know he meant buisness.

"Now you listen, Michonne, I don't care that you and my dad had-- did whatever you did. Matter of fact, It's about damn time!" he threw his hands into the air.

This lifted a small weight off my shoulders, enough to smile. "Language." I said, whilst shyly smiling at him.

"Look, what I'm trying to say is.. who gives a damn what anyone else thinks? What matters is that me, and Judith, and Dad accept you and that we want you in our lives. We do Michonne. We care about you. Please talk to me."

He brought tears to my eyes. I cared alot about what he thought and this made me happy.

Deanna's words played in my head, "what do you want?"

I wanted Rick, and I know I got him but what I really wanted was right in front of me, acceptance.

I just stood there, leaning on the couch, smiling at Carl trying to hold back the tears.

He must've seen them because he came up and moved my locks from my faces and gave me a great big hug.

"Make him happy and don't leave us. Not like everyone else."

I began to sob and hug him back, "I won't." I whispered

"Promise, Michonne."

I wasn't going to leave them, no matter what. They are all I need.

"I promise."
