Rick grimes changed after Lori died, he started hallucinating her at the prison then after the prison fell he became ruthless.

He didn’t think he’d fall in love again after her, yet when you came to Alexandria he started to like you.

He didn’t act on it and even pushed the feelings away but the way you were with Judith and Carl made a small fire ignite in his soul.

You sat on the couch in his house, Judith in your arms sleeping against your chest as Carl had his head on your shoulder dozing to sleep as a movie played on the tv.

Rick walked in quietly and looked at the view, his heart warmed and his gaze softened seeing how you were with his children.
