Requested by @BeckySilva1 , everyone go give her a follow!
PROMPT:
You won't stop fussing over Maggie's wellbeing and Rick won't stop fussing over yours.

[A nice short imagine, set in 05:10]

"I'm worried about her." You muttered, your throat and mouth dry. "She isn't drinking water- she hasn't eaten anything for days."
"Neither have you." Rick grumbled, holding out his waterbottle and the small portion of water it contained. "Drink it."
"No. It's yours." you gently pushed his hand away.
"Which means it's yours. I'm worried about you."
You ignored him, turning your head to look at Maggie, your gal pal, your bestie, your bff forever.
"Just look at her. Should I go talk to her? I really hope she's okay. She must be starving." You parted your lips and looked at him. He seemed so completely unamused.
"Hey Y/n?" Carl called. You turned your head and looked to Carl. He held Judith out to you. "Can you take her?"
You smiled, taking Judith from him.
"Of course I can." And as you said that, Rick smiled to himself.
Behind you, the rest of your group trudged along the dirty path, making their way towards the direction of Washington DC. What the journey held, you had no idea.

"I- uh, think I'll go over and talk to her." You told your partner Rick, who looked a little bit irritated.
"Why?" He simply asked.
"She's not drinking."
Rick sighed. "Neither are you. Glenn will take care of her- let me take care of you."
"But-" you started. He held the water-bottle out to you again.
"No buts. Drink."
Hey, you weren't going to go against Rick. You often lost when you did that- but still, some people needed it more, including him.
"You drink it. I'm fine. Honestly."
"You're doing that thing you do when you're thirsty." He growled.
"What thing?" You exclaimed, looking behind you at Maggie. She wasn't looking too good.
"That over-excessive talking thing." He smugly replied.
"Hey! You know what, you drink your water- and Judy and I will talk about Maggie and every other topic I can think of over here."
The corners of his lips turned into a smile and you saw it, so you smiled. Even when the two of you were completely lacking energy, you still managed to smile together.
Judith let out a small gurgle.
"What's that, sweetheart?" You asked, bouncing her on your hip as you walked.
She gurgled again.
"Right. I think she said 'you're perfect Y/n- and you're great for worrying about your friend. Plus, my dad is lucky to have you."
Rick shrugged. "Who am I to argue?"
You kissed Judith's forehead and the same smile spread on Rick's face.
"Please, Y/n, drink the water." He said, softer this time. You smiled at him, looking at his eyes.
You took the water from him with the hand that wasn't holding Judith and drank half the water in the bottle, then passed it back to Rick.
"That's as good as it's going to get."
Why drink it when others needed it more?
"You're a real pain in the ass." He replied, drinking the rest of the water in the bottle.
"Yeah- but I'm YOUR pain in the ass." You nudged him slightly. "Remember that, would ya?"
He scoffed. "How could I forget."
"Good point."
You tilted your head, looking over at Maggie once again.
"I tell you what..." You mumbled, grazing your teeth over your bottom lip. "When we get Maggie and the rest of my family safe at Washington, I'll drink by the gallon. Okay?"
He sighed.
"Okay." He reluctantly agreed. Poor him, now he was so strongly locked in the contract.
"Deal?"
"Deal."
"I love you, Grimes."
"I love you too, stubborn."
Judith gurgled and you smiled.

Look at you guys. You were all one big family.
They were your family and your world.
And oh how lucky you were to have the hand of Rick Grimes to guid you along Promised Land.

Short and sweet! Keep requestin guys! Love to write for youuuuu!!!
