Reincarnated Into TWD 1st FF

Rick comes home to a house full of laughter and flour thrown everywhere. I see him come in through the door and I aimed my little water gun I carry to distract the girls from time to time and start soaking him while I instruct the others what to do.

"Girls hurry he's melting from acid quick throw the healing powder on him!" I say as I pour more flour into their little tiny baby hands. Then they run to Rick and say…"Feel better now!" They demanded but then somehow forgot to be caring and gentle because now they were spanking hmm all over yelling feel better feel better now. I couldn't help but fall down laughing hard with Carl trying to stand but failed he laughed so hard we ended up on the floor on our backs. Rick and Lori just looking at all this and looked at each other. Then Lori broke the silence.

"Cookie?" She reaches out her hand with an M&M cookie looking a bit sheepish.

He slowly takes it and is in deep thought of 'what the hell did I walk into? Is this my home?' "Umm…hmmm…uh…what happened here?" He asks in confusion looking around the kitchen trying to understand.

"Fat Rick cookies!" Says NaNa

"Be good eat cookies then roll!" Says ZaZa

Everyone starts laughing harder. Rick then takes a glass that was in a cupboard and fills it with water and drinks it then I go up to him after messaging my personal maid to have someone clean the kitchen from the mess me and the girls made.

"Mr. Grimes-

"Call me Rick son. We're close enough to be on first name basis don't worry." He cuts me off with an amused tone while looking at the chaotic mess in the kitchen.

I smile and replied "ok then just call me Bjorn, Rick. I was wondering if the girls could stay here for awhile and if you can take me to run a few errands while I ask for some advice father to father. I have the financial means but…" I break off and look lovingly at the kids. "Being a father is still new to me and want to be perfect for them." I say it low enough for him to hear me and he softens his tone

"Yeah kid." He pats my shoulder "let me change and we can go." Then turns to walk off after setting his empty glass in the sink and goes upstairs to change.

I look at everyone else and say "ok everyone let's go clean up." We start to get everything situated when there's a knock on the door and some professional cleaners come in and get to work after I tell Lori to calm down and let me take care of it and to just go get cleaned up and relax.

After about an hour everyone meets back up in the porch, cleaners are gone, and everything looks bettter than before Lori thanks me as I just brush it off with a smile and thanked her for watching the twins then give them hugs and kisses and get in the car with Rick.

We end up going to the dealership to pick up a decommissioned military truck I got at an auction. It was an armored LMTV Damn near new so I had it delivered to my home. Then we went to the grocery store made arrangements for a list of items to be delivered home, same thing at the hunting shop where they had many items on sale. Then went to the local bar sat down with Rick and he orders me a drink tells the bar keep that I'm a dad and needs one that he'll take care of it. As he slowly savors his scotch he turns to me with sadness and concern itched in his face.

"Bjorn, I want the truth." He starts. "Are you okay?" He asks me.

I sat quietly drinking the whiskey slowly savoring the drink as it burns my throat lightly going down as I turn to look at him. My mask slipping a little showing him a small side of me.

"Honestly Rick…" I began slowly. Bar tender listening on the side mid afternoon it was just us three there and a few others playing pool. "I don't know. I've been on my own for 10 years now you know? I lost my parents to that drunk bastard two years ago but even then my dad was always deployed my mom either on a small tour around the state or at the hospital. They taught me first aide, how to shoot, how to sing, how to hunt, and many other things except how to manage finances let alone be a parent…" I look back at the drink and fish what little I had left. Bartender came back and gave him a real glass adds an ice diamond that was half the glass and fills my cup 3 quarters of the way. Then pours himself one and downs it before refilling it again.

"You're stronger than you look kid." He says with respect.

"Listen Bjorn." Rick begins. "If you ever need anything you can come to us. Wether to talk or hang out you are family. I've seen the look on Lori's face and the look in Carl's they love you and your baby girls. Yes you may be financially stable and responsible with it but there's also something you lack and that's emotional and mental support, not just for your girls but for you as well son. And you have been doing amazingly these past 2 almost 3 years alone with them." He says with respect, pride, and concern.

Everyone in the bar new my story small town am I right. They came up to me. All patting my shoulder as if I'd earn there respect. Then tears ran down my face as if a damn broke in me I lower my head finally breaking. I remember my past life and all the hell i went through just to be with my daughters. The abuse I went through as a child me protecting my brother and sisters from beatings being locked in a room daily except to eat and for school. My military service and the ones that used me for their lives to be better. When all I wanted was a family of my own. Everyone had their hands on my back quietly as if to say 'it's okay to let it out now your safe here no need to be strong at this moment' so I did I let all out crying with my fists clenched so hard I cut my palms with my nails letting fresh blood drop onto the counter. At that moment they just saw a child become a man that held a burden that older adults could barely handle and genuinely respected the young man.

After the last tear fell after 5 mins of me crying like a child I looked up with a newly found resolve and determination to never let my girls be harmed ever again not in this life not ever. Rick looked at my change and gave me a nod of respect. And held has glass up saying.

"A toast to a new family and a new beginnings." We all raised our glasses, bottles, or flasks repeating the toast and we drank our respective contents.

"Thank you everyone. For this moment. It meant more to me than I could of thought." I say with respect. And then as I looked around everyone saw me with a steel gaze and hardened resolve and determination for the future. And they nodded with approval.

He walked in as a boy and comes out a man.

Rick signals to go so we did after he paid for the drinks and I set some $200 on the counter and say "I got the next drinks on me everyone see y'all around town and thanks again." Then walk out with Rick going back home it being 4pm already way past the girls nap time.

As we got in the house Rick and I ended taken aback because there was Lori with my girls in a make shift fort while Carl was sleeping on the couch wrapped up as if they were playing doctors. I signaled to Rick to walk outside with me.

"Hey Rick remember that LMTV I got? I wanted to turn it into an electric vehicle instead of Diesel that runs on solar panels I bought everything needed. Just need help with the license plates and a DL update. Can you help with that?" I ask with mild enthusiasm.

"Hmm…" he starts to think. "I think we can make something work. After all I did help you get all your other licenses through Lori remember." He says with a small smirk.

I had a license for everything now fishing, hunting, guns, rifles, shotguns. Bows and crossbows don't need a license.

So we start planning everything and even gone to design the LMTV remodel into a moving house powered with the highest wattage/voltage possible of solar panels.
