You wake up, still in Rick's arms. He had woken up a few minutes ago, so he's been playing with your hair. Once he realizes you're awake, Rick kisses your forehead.

"Good morning." you say in a slightly tired tone.

"Morning." you snuggle up against Rick some more "So, we need a plan..."

"To leave, I know..." you mumble, closing your eyes again "But can't we just lay here a bit longer?" Rick sighs, but before he could respond, you hear a knock on the door.

"R-Rick, breakfast is ready!" Morty shouts, before going to the dining room, where everyone is already waiting.

Rick looks down at you as you get off him and walk to your folded jeans.

"What you gonna do?" Rick asks and you just shrug, taking off the boxers and slipping on your jeans. You quickly put on your shoes and lean onto the wall, folding your arms.

"You should get ready. They'll be back if you don't go in a few minutes, you know that, right?" Rick nods and gets out of bed.

You stay in your spot as Rick quickly puts on his clothes and shoes. You drop onto Rick's bed again, slouching while you sit and watch him leave, closing the door behind him.

You take out your phone and search for Blade, your son. He left a few messages and you hadn't even noticed.

Blade: Hey, mom. Is it cool if I stop by for a little something?
22:41

Mom? You ok?
22:59

Hello?
23:15

Mom, where are you?! You aren't at home!! Is something wrong?! Mom?!?!!?!
00:07

Slightly panicking, you send a message back.

You: Hey, sweetie. Don't worry. I'm just at a bar or something. I'll be back soon. I promise. Just don't panic. I'm fine. Thanks for caring😚

Blade immediately reads your message.

Blade: Omg I nearly died!! Thank God you're ok😌

You: Yeah. Sorry for making you worry. I just got drunk. That's all😅

Blade: OK, but next time, tell a boi, OK?!

You: ok jeez. calm yourself.

OK, so I gotta go. I'll be home soon, just gotta do a few things.

Blade: ok be safe.


You send a quick heart emoji and switch off your phone as the door slowly creaks open. Rick walks in and hands you your portal gun.

"Thanks." you whisper to him with a small smile. You stand up and set in the co-ordinates. Rick places a hand on your shoulder, making you look up at him.

"You coming back?" Rick whispers to you with a soft expression. You sigh gently with a nod.

"This is only temporary... Don't worry..." you answer, tears start forming in your eyes "I-I promise, Rick, I'll come back..." Rick sighs, feeling something heavy grow in his chest.

He just got you back. After all those years of separation, you're back. You're there. With him.

Rick leans down and kisses you gently, then leaves the room, unable to watch you leave him. You sigh and make a portal and jump through it.
