The day after chapter 2
Dr. Director sat at her desk in the Global Justice headquarters. The top of her desk was covered in folders and paperwork. Several had red borders, indicating that they were critical. She stared at the folders, then looked up. Agent Will Du was standing sheepishly in front of her, holding another red-bordered folder.
Dr. Director groaned. “ANOTHER one?”
“I’m afraid so, Director.” said Will, placing the folder on the already swamped desk. “DNAmy this time… something about destroying ‘Rainbow Monkey’ island, even if she has to destroy the whole world to do so. I think she’s gone even further around the bend.”
“Remember when we could just send Kim Possible after villains like those?” said Dr. Director.
“We’ve been lucky it was a quiet spell after Kim discovered her, um, condition…” said Will.
Dr. Director looked up and chuckled. Agent Du was actually blushing.
“Luck nothing.” said Dr. Director. “The information Shego provided helped us disrupt the plans of a lot of the villains who used to be Kim Possible’s field. It was a one time windfall that we can’t expect again… and one of three reasons I agreed to wipe the slate clean between us and Shego.”
“What were the other two, if I may ask?” said Agent Du. “Was it the fact that she wanted no publicity, and no reward except help setting up a legitamate existence?”
“Well, the desire to go legitimate was one reason.” admitted Dr. Director. “The other was… well, Shego seems to have developed a protective streak, for Kim and their unborn baby. Imagine if that streak extends after Kim delivers the baby.”
“What do you mean, ma’am?” asked Agent Du, puzzled.
“Let’s face it.” said Dr. Director, gesturing at the red bordered files on her desk. “Kim Possible is FAR too good at what she does to sit on the side lines, even with a child. Sooner or later, she’s going to go back to the world saving game. Imagine a Kim Possible with Shego at her side.”
Agent Du blinked. “The mind boggles.” he said. The more he worked with Dr. Director, the more Will Du realized he could never handle her position. The woman’s job required an ability to think three steps ahead, and in ways Du never could. The thought of Shego being an asset for her fighting skills, instead of just as a one time information source, to Global Justice… well, the mind boggled. Du’s did, at least.
Dr. Director sighed. “Oh well… for the time being, at least, we can’t count on Kim Possible. Can we hire Team Impossible for this?”
Du shook his head. “Sorry, ma’am… the budgeting department says if they had to scrounge funds to pay Team Impossible one more time, they’d hire Team Impossible themselves… or, at least, Team Impossible’s CPA member.”
Dr. Director tapped her fingernails on the desk. “Team Go then, I guess… even if it means explaining to Hego, AGAIN, that even though Shego has reformed there’s no way she’ll go back to Team Go.”
Du shook his head. “That man sounds as thick as… well…” Du smiled depreciatingly. “A certain G.J. agent was when he first had to deal with Kim Possible.”
“You learned, Du.” said Dr. Director, smiling. Truthfully, Du never would be able to handle situations that didn’t fit the book the way that Dr. Director and Kim Possible could, but his knowledge of procedure and technical details made him an excellent assistant.
Kim Possible, the girl who could do anything… as proven by now being a pregnant virgin, with the co-parent being a woman (and former villain Shego)… found herself yawning at the breakfast table. ‘It was a good thing I took that long nap yesterday,’ she thought, ‘Otherwise my head would be falling into my cereal bowl’.
“Late night, Kim?” asked her mother, concerned.
“Just had to stay up late doing some homework, mom.” said Kim.
“Kim stayed out late!” snickered Tim.
“Out on a date?” snickered Jim.
“Tweebs!” snarled Kim. She was SO not in the mood for this.
“Now, boys.” said Dr. Possible, putting down his paper. “You know that Kim was out having dinner with Shego, not out on a date.”
“Um…” said Kim, feeling herself blush a little, thinking back to late night. “Right, dad.”
“…and that,” said Ron, concluding his speech, “Is why the Naco deserves to be in a food category by itself.”
“Woo-hoo!” said Rufus, pounding his paws together in applause. “Goo’ speech!”
“Thanks, Rufus.” said Ron, putting down his index cards. “Hopefully, Mr. Barkin in public speaking will agree with you.”
“Hi, Ron.” said Kim, coming into the Middleton High school hall way. She was dressed in, for once, an actual dress, a dark red color that matched her hair color. The outfit looked good on her, even if it was obviously off a maternity rack.
“Hey, KP!” said Ron. “How was your day yesterday?”
Kim blinked. “Date?” she squeaked.
Ron shook his head. “No, I said Day. As in, the time that is not night? Why, did you leave Shego’s apartment and go out with a guy last night?”
“No!” said Kim. “I just… misheard you. I spent the afternoon with Shego, and then she took me out to dinner.”
“So, no date.” said Ron. “Well, the Ron Man was outstanding as the mighty mastiff of Middleton yesterday.”
“Mastiff?” said Kim, surprised.
“Means dog.” said Ron.
“Uh-huh, doggie!” squeaked Rufus.
“I know what it means, Ron.” said Kim. “I’m just kind of surprised to hear you use such an esoteric word like that.”
“Ess oh what?” said Ron.
“Nah used ba a lah uh ee-ull!” squeaked Rufus.
“Oh, thanks pal.” said Ron. “Rufus here has been helping me work on my vocab for the SAT tests.”
“That’s impressive…” said Kim. “If a little weird. A naked mole rat helping you with your English skills?”
“Hey, a talking naked mole rat!” said Ron. Rufus nodded his head.
“Yeah.” admitted Kim. “But Ron, you’re the only one who can really understand him when he says more then one or two words at a time”
“Booyah!” said Ron. “Edge for the Ron man! Anyway, I’m sorry I couldn’t hang with you yesterday. After practice, I tried to call you on the Kimunicator but you didn’t pick up, so I went with some of the cheerleaders out to Buenos Nachos.”
“Sorry, that must have been when I was taking a nap.” said Kim. Before Ron could ask what Kim had been doing sleeping when she was with Shego, Kim quickly interjected “The cheerleaders? With Bonnie?”
“Nope.” said Ron. “We were Bonnie-free… she and Brick went out somewhere. It was just me and some of the girls.”
“Well, turning into quite the ladies’ man.” said Kim, smiling.
“Well, Ron is cheerleader free this afternoon.” said Ron. “What’s the plan today?”
“Actually,” said Kim. “I was just planning to rent some movies and watch them.”
“All right!” said Ron. “Chilling back with my two best pals, watching the boob cube!”
“Movie!” cheered Rufus.
“Um, right.” said Kim. She didn’t have the heart to tell Ron that she was planning to watch the movies at Shego’s apartment.
The cashier at the DVD rental store rang up the three rentals. “Let’s see… that’s Die Hard Another Day, Attack of the Killer Terminators, and… ‘The Truth About Cats and Monkeys’?”. The cashier held up the last video tape, which showed two women on a park bench, talking, as a handsome guy, apparently oblivious, walked by. He looked at the two teenagers… the tall, gawky guy and the pregnant young woman. “I take it this one was your pick, young lady?” asked the guy.
“Nope!” said Ron. “My flic! But don’t worry, I checked… despite the title, absolutely no monkeys in this film at all.”
“Oooh-kay…” said the cashier, ringing up the totals.
Ron and Kim walked out of the video store, Ron carrying the rented movies. “Aw, why do we have to go to Shego’s apartment to watch these?” whined Ron. “You went out with her last night.”
Kim shrugged. “Two reasons, Ron. One: I promised.”
“And the second?” said Ron. He knew that Kim considered a promise to be a promise, to be fulfilled if at all humanly possible. Still, he was curious what the second reason was.
“Three words.” said Kim, smirking. “Big… screen… TV.”
“Booyah!” said Ron.
“What’s HE doing here?” frowned Shego, leaning in the doorway of her apartment, physically blocking Kim and Ron from entering. Shego wasn‘t wearing her trademark jumpsuit. Instead, anticipating a quiet evening in with Kim, she was only wearing a long green t-shirt and a pair of tight black shorts. “This building has a firm ’No pets’ policy.”
“Hey, Rufus is more then just a pet!” snapped Ron.
“Oh, I wasn’t talking about Rufus.” said Shego, smirking at Ron to make her meaning clear.
“Then who were you talking about?” asked Ron, oblivious.
“Shego…” said Kim. “Come on. He’s my best friend, and I told him he could come watch movies with us. Please?”
Shego sighed. Kim was doing it. The sad puppy dog eyes. “Fine!” said Shego, stepping back. She had been looking forward to another evening with just her and Kimmy, watching movies. She firmly squashed the question of why she was so eager to be alone with Kim. “I guess I’ll need to fix another bowl of popcorn for the bottomless pit.”
“Oh, Kim doesn’t eat that much!” said Ron. “What?” he asked as two sets of green eyes glared at him.
“Oh brother!” muttered Rufus, slapping his forehead with a paw.
On the screen in Shego’s apartment, Arnuld Shortseneigerson was busy blasting apart a series of bright-red killer robots.
“Oh yah!” yelled Shego. “Blast those bots!”
“Get ‘em!” cheered Kim.
The two women were obviously enjoying ‘Attack of the Killer Terminators’. Ron shook his head. It figured, he thought, that both of them loved action movies.
“I‘ll ketch-up, baby.” said Arnuld, and then the credits rolled.
“Finally! My movie!” said Ron.
“Aw, come on.” said Shego. “I’ve got ‘Attack of the Killer Terminators 2: Vegetable/Fruit Judgment Day’ here.”
Ron crossed his arms stubbornly in front of his chest. “Uh-uh.” said Ron. “We watched both of Kim’s movies, it’s my turn to watch my movie. Right, Kim?”
Kim hesitated, then sighed. “He’s right, Shego… it’s only fair. Beside, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen Vegetable/Fruit Judgment Day.”
“I hope you don’t expect ME to stay and watch it.” said Shego.
“Aw, please?” said Kim, snuggling against Shego. Kim was sitting in the middle of the couch, between Shego and Ron. Now she moved closer to Shego, wrapping an arm around the slightly taller woman. “Come on… it’ll be more fun to watch it with you.”
Shego felt something inside her melt. The feeling of Kim pressed close to her, with the warm soft bulge of the yet-unborn child nestled between her and Kim… well, it was certainly worth sitting through a comedy/romance. “Fine.” said Shego, striving to sound like her sarcastic self.
“All right!” said Ron, hopping in. “Let me just get this DVD in and we’re set to go.”
“We’ll always have paras-ites…” said the handsome male actor on the screen.
“The greatest movie ever!” cheered Ron. “At least, the greatest with ’monkey’ in the title.”
“Right.” said Shego, sarcasticly. “That’s why Kimmy fell asleep during it.”
“KP?” said Ron, turning to see that his red-haired friend had indeed fallen asleep, with her head resting on Shego’s shoulder and Kim’s arms tucked around one of Shego’s arms.
“Come on, princess…” said Shego. “Wakey wakey.”
“Five more minutes, mom…” Kim muttered sleepily.
Shego chuckled and shook Kim’s gently with her free hand. “Come on… you need to wake up.”
Kim blinked, coming to full wakefulness. “Oh… Ron, is the movie over?”
“Uh-huh!” said Ron. “You’ll never guess the ending!”
“The guy left the pretty girl, even though he and the ugly girl could never be together because of his allergy to pets and her job as a veterinarian.” said Shego, bored. “Come on, it was obvious from the first scene.”
“It was a great movie.” said Kim, obviously lying to be polite. “At least, what I saw of it.”
Ron shrugged. “No problem, KP, I can just go back and play the parts you missed. “
“No!” said Kim and Shego hurriedly.
“That is, “ said Kim. “It’s getting late. I don’t want to miss two dinners with my family in a row.”
“Ok, KP.” said Ron. “I’ll walk you home.”
Shego frowned. She had been about to offer to walk Kim home.
“Thanks for having us over, Shego.” said Kim, struggling a little to get off the soft couch.
“No problem, “ said Shego. She added, softly, “…next time, leave buffoon boy at home.”
“Be nice, Shego.” said Kim. She looked over at buffoon boy… er, Ron. Ron had taken the three DVDs out of the DVD changer and was now putting the DVD disks back in their cases. Kim leaned over and kissed Shego quickly on the lips while Ron had his back to them. “See ya later, Shego.” she said, and she and Ron left.
“See ya…” said Shego, echoing Kim’s words. The kiss today was briefer then the two kisses of yesterday, but it still had more impact then any non-Kim kiss Shego could remember.
“Hey, Kim” said Ron, walking with Kim. “You ok? You look a little flushed?”
“Just… have some things I have to think about.” said Kim.

Subject: Reply: Substantiating rumors.
Dear Gemini,
The rumors on the evil villain chat boards are true. Kim Possible Is pregnant, and I did it, using Shego’s DNA. BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Unfortunately, I did not expect Shego’s previously undisclosed Maternal instincts to come out once she found out that she was a mother -backspace- father -backspace- parent.
It is my belief that Shego and Kim can both be manipulated once the child is in your possession, or Shego can be manipulated if you have pregnant Kim in your possession. I hope this information is useful and that you will do all you can to expedite my early release and punish my ex-second in command.
Sincerely yours, Hugs and Kisses,
Dr. Drakken
Ok, folks. I’m hoping you guys don’t mind these short little chapters… Two and three together being about the size of chapter one. Anyway, I still haven’t decided on what to name the baby/babies, but I have decided to bring in Gemini as the villain. Keep sending me your comments and suggestions.
In case you can’t figure it out, the movie titles I used are combinations/modifications of several movie titles. Die Hard Another Day: Die Hard + Die Another Day, Attack of the Killer Terminators: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes + Terminator. The Truth About Cats and Monkeys is a corruption of ‘The Truth About Cats and Dogs’. The Rainbow Monkeys mentioned in the first section are a small reference to Kids Next Door.
