a slight return home, chapter 1
Title: A Slight Return Home
Fandom: The Walking Dead
Pairing: Rick x Michonne
Rating: T
Summary: Rick’s death shakes Michonne’s world to its core. With her daughter and her remaining family, she tries to navigate her changed life, and all the struggles and surprises that come with it. Canon-compliant, for now. Spoilers up to 9x06.
Author’s Note: Hi. I didn’t plan to/really want to write this, but it kept crawling around in my head and I had to get it out. I hope you like it!
The title comes from the song, “A Slight Return Home” by Woodpigeon.
Like the summary says, no spoilers if you’ve seen up to 9x06. This is all speculation/my imagination, and is canon-compliant, for now. There will be 2-3 more chapters of this, as long as I can concentrate enough to get it done.
Let me know what you think. And I hope you’re all doing okay.

After she realizes she’s pregnant, she cries for ten nights straight.
She almost screams. She’d just managed to turn her nightly cries into manageable, sporadic occurrences, and now they were back with a vengeance, over something that should make her happy. That should make them happy. But there is no them, anymore. The he isn’t here. And she’s not happy. Not about anything.
So she cries. She puts Judith to bed after explaining again why Daddy hasn’t been here to kiss her goodnight for such a long, long time, and then she goes into their room and she cries. She lays down on the bed, stretches her arm out into the empty space where he used to sleep, and she cries, cries, cries.
On the eleventh night, she cries for fifteen minutes before she decides that enough is enough.
