Michonne didn't waste a minute gathering what little items she had, Rick was more than happy to help as he waits for her downstairs.

A few minutes later, she comes down the steps with two large gym bags and her katana.

Rick looks at the bags astonished by how much someone could acquire in the span of six to eight weeks.

She stops in the middle of the steps and stares at the look on Rick's face.

He smirks and turns away from her.

"What? She asks.

He starts grinning and laughing while shaking his head, "Nothing."

She finally makes her way to the bottom floor and looks at Rick who's trying to control his laughter. She waits until his amusement is under control.

She starts grinning because he's trying to hold in his laughter, "Come on let's go."

He extends his hand laughing, "Alright give me one."

"No I can-"

Rick cuts her off abruptly, "No give me one."

Michonne concedes knowingly and gives him one of the gym bags to carry.

Michonne laughs while walking home with Rick, "…Oh, come on. You mean to tell me there's no creature comforts that you've enjoy being here?"

Rick reluctantly says, "Well…I do enjoy shampooing my hair."

She erupts with laughter at Rick's secret pleasure, "No, Rick Grimes has a thing about his hair?"

"Yeah, all that splattered brains, blood and skin clumps the strands together and it feels clumpy" he laughs.

She stops in the middle of the road to gain her composure.

Rick turns around and asks, "Well, what's yours? What's your creature comfort?"

Michonne quickly stops laughing and starts walking past him.

He quickly catches up with her and steps in her path, "Wait a minute, I told you mine you tell me yours."

She drops her shoulders in defeat, "Toothpaste."

"What? You laughed so hard at mine and yours is toothpaste?" Rick starts laughing and waving his hand behind him, "Nope, yours is just as weird as mine."

"I don't like all that build up on my teeth. It feels nasty", she explains walking to catch up with him.

Rick leads Michonne to her old bedroom located at the end of the hall, right next to Carl and Judith's room.

"Your room, exactly the way you left it", he says while opening the door to the room she slept in when they first came to Alexandria.

She walks inside behind Rick with her gym bag then sits it down on the floor next to her bed.

She smiles plopping down on the mattress then over at Rick.

Unable to control his smile, Rick walks toward the bedroom door, "I'll see you in the morning."

Four hours later,

Michonne starts to stir in her sleep, until suddenly she opens her eyes wide and starts to feel a subtle sensation come over her body.

She remembers that she was back with Rick, Carl and Judith, where she's wanted to be since the moment she moved out.

Climbing out of bed to grab her bath robe, Michonne glances out the window to see if its time.

After determining that it was indeed time, she left her bedroom and open the door to Carl and Judith's bedroom.

No sooner than 5 seconds from opening the door; Michonne sees her "Judy Girl" sitting up in her crib playing around with her red plastic cups.

The joy on Michonne's face was catching as Judith heard the sound of her soft voice, "Hey Judy Girl."

Judith ignores the company of her red plastic cups and whimpers for Michonne while holding out her arms.

Carl opens his eyes at the sound of Judith's whimper and sees Michonne's bath robe reaching in to the crib.

"Michonne…is that you?"

She brings Judith in to her arms, "Yep, it's me", she whispers turning to face him.

"Good", he smiles then turns the opposite way to go back to sleep.

The alarm clock goes off in Rick's bedroom, it's an hour before sunrise, the same time that Judith wakes up.

He sits up on the edge of the bed for a minute then remembers that Michonne moved back and he didn't want Judith to wake her.

So he grabs a clean t-shirt out of the drawer walks over and opens the door.

As his about to step in to the hallway, he sees Michonne in her lavender bath robe carrying Judith towards the stairs.

He rubs his eyes.

"So, Judy Girl, I missed our mornings so much. We have so much girl talk to catch up on." She whispers to Judith.

A sensation of ease over comes Rick as he closes the door smiling before going back to bed.

The last thing he wants to do is interrupt Michonne and his Judy Girl's girl talk.
