Chapter one: Beginning of Our Dysfunctional family.
January 23rd '07: Home. 11:30 am Approx. 3.6 weeks.
Shego smirked almost happily, as she watched her beautiful redhead. Watching her sleep was one of those simple pleasures she's allowed herself whenever the young woman was around, which now was all the time.
Kim shuddered not only from the cold of the room on her bare skin but from the feeling of someone watching her. She opened her sleepy eyes and smiled shyly at her lover, as she tried to cover herself.
Shego stopped her with a shake of the head.
"There are more entertaining things to watch," Kim mumbled.
"I beg to differ." Shego's eyes left the young hero's face. Kim was lying on her back with her right hand above her head. Shego traveled southward toward her creamy beast and well toned stomach with Kim's left hand lazily draped over it. Shego smiled at the thought of how it would have a slight bulge within the next few weeks. Her eyes continued down to those smooth thighs she got to know up close and personal on a daily bases. She was disappointed when she noticed the rest of Kim was covered by a blanket.
"What time is it?"
"Does it matter?" Shego had no problems staying in bed with her partner all day.
"Yes," Kim pouted. "Nai has forgotten already." Kim told her stomach.
'She's already talking to it.' Shego watched quietly as Kim told their growing baby not to be offended. 'It's official she's attached.'
Kim heard Shego when she scoffed.
"We have our first prenatal check up today," Kim said focusing her attention back onto her lover, who was smirking. "But you knew that."
Shego nodded and leaned in to kiss the beautiful redhead. Once their lips met Kim moaned into the kiss, happy from all the affection Shego had been paying her lately.
Kim's stomach suddenly didn't feel so great, She slender redhead heard her villain whine
When she broke the kiss and slid out of bed. She grabbed her white house robe quickly, nearly tossing herself into the bathroom as she felt everything she'd eaten over the last 12 hours come up.
'This is going to take some getting used to. 'Shego thought slipping on her own green robe and following Kim into the bathroom. The young mother-to-be sat then back against the wall near the toilet. Slowly Kim realized that Shego had sat down in front of her.
Shego listened to Kim's groan when she dabbed a cool washcloth over her face.
"Feeling better?" Shego asked, once she saw that Kim's cheeks had turned back into a normal shade of pink.
Kim nodded and leaned into Shego's arms. She wasn't surprised when Shego pulled her completely into her lap and cradled her as if she were a small child. The thought tugged a small smile from Kim, before she noticed Shego's gentle rocking.
The pale woman sighed and kissed her redhead's soft mane.
"I love you Samantha Henry Elizabeth Gabrielle Orrick." Kim grinned as she felt Shego stiffen.
"Don't you ever call me that again," Shego scolded.
"But I like your name!" Kim argued.
"I don't, my name sounds like a bunch of first names jumbled together. Every family member had to get theirs in, even my scumbag sperm donor." Shego could almost feel the pout Kim was giving her, and she sighed. "Remember that time we were having really amazing sex and you called me Sam?"
Kim laughed. "It totally ruined our sex life for about a week."
"It's just as insulting as you calling out someone else's name when you orgasm." Kim felt Shego shake her head. "I'm not having it."
Kim held in a laughed. "I still think it's kind of cute that your initials are Shego"
"Don't remind me." Shego grumbled.
"I still love you,"
"You'd better," Shego said, somehow managing to stand while still cradling the younger woman. "I support your ass."
-Jan. 23rd '07: Silver Lake Hospital. 1:30 PM.-
"Good afternoon Ms. Possible." A tall young woman walked briskly into the room. Her hair was a short black and it was graying. She wore black framed glasses that covered her light silver eyes that twinkled with pent-up amusement. She looked like a mystical elf to Shego.
Kim grinned. She appreciated this woman. Although the lady had some weird qualities, like wearing jeans to work instead of slacks underneath her lab coat, and gave out fresh fruit instead of candy. Kim still found her to be the most comforting during their consultation when they were looking for a new family doctor. She was the only doctor who seemed to really care about the high standards for Kim's health care that Shego set. Not to mention that fact she was the only one more than willing to deal with Shego's sharp edges. Kim found her to be quite comical and still professional.
The doctor paused for a second when she spotted Shego tucked away into the corner of the room. "Ms. Orrick."
The doctor's grin was silly when she heard something similar to "afternoon." coming grumbled form the pale woman.
"No need to be so friendly." She teased.
Shego glared. Not really believing that Kim had lost her mind enough to choose this woman as their family doctor.
"Don't mind Shego. Dr. Z." Kim said.
"Oh don't worry. I stopped minding her a long time ago." Dr. Zephyrus shook her head and pulled out a questionnaire of some kind.
"Was that before or after I commented on your hair?" Shego asked. She often commented on how the twenty-six year old woman's hair was dominated by its silver threads. "You look grayer since we last saw you."
"Before," Dr. Zephyrus pulled up a stool toward the bed Kim sat on. "I was haunted by the thought of seeing you again."
Shego scoffed, and Dr. Zephyrus counted that as a win.
"Alright then," Dr. Zephyrus looked at the chart and began marking things off. "I've always hated filling out these medical history charts, especially on people like you."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Shego snapped feeling insulted.
"People who have had many things happen to them." Dr. Zephyrus mumbled. "I also have to go through and mark no on more then half of the forms."
"Oh." Shego said, calming slightly.
Kim watched silently as their doctor slid over to over of the drawers and pulled out one of the over sized pop sickle sticks.
"Say ah'"
Kim obliged and watched as Dr. Zephyrus stuck the tongue depressor in her mouth and went back to the forms.
"When did you have a tonsillectomy?" Dr. Zephyrus looked up from the forms.
"I was about eight."
"What does her throat have to do with her uterus?" Shego wondered aloud and caused Kim to laugh.
"I like to know what has happened to my patients while in another's doctor's care, no matter how young they were. Now, if you think you can do a better job than me, here." Dr. Zephyrus held out the medical history forms, when Shego didn't take them she went back to work. "Thought so,"
Kim stifled her laughter when Shego glared at her.
"Be back," Shego said as she left the room.
"How do you do that?" Kim grinned.
"I've got one like her at home." She answered. "So I get lots of practice."
Dr. Zephyrus stood and walked over to her glass cabinet and peered inside she rummaged through and came back with two glass tubes, a rubber looking thing, a cup for a urine sample and a long needle. She laid these tools out onto a metal cart and slipped on a pair of gloves.
"Now that she's gone I can ask you this without you worrying about her over reacting." Kim looked at her puzzled. "How are you feeling lately?"
"Okay I guess. I feel pretty normal except for the throwing up every morning."
"And how's your diet?"
"You know how Shego is." Kim smiled. "It's extremely well balanced. Three meals a day snack in-between lunch and dinner. Except for the occasional cake and pizza I manage to sneak in."
Dr. Zephyrus nodded. "I'll need a blood sample for a pregnancy test, and with your consent a sample for the testing of the presence of HIV, STD's or Sickle cell."
"Alright," Kim said signing the form.
- Jan 23rd: Nursery 1:50pm-
Shego wandered through the hospital where Kim wanted to have their baby. Thinking about how she silently approved of it.
"Are you looking for someone?" A nurse asked.
"No." Shego paid her little attention as she kept looking around.
"Yes. This is nurse Fields up in the nursery. I want to report a suspicious character." The nurse whispered into the phone as she watched Shego secretly.
Shego paused as she came in front a room with a huge glass window. Inside were three nurses and about 15 newborns.
"Beautiful aren't they?" Nurse Fields asked her. Security had told her to try and keep Shego there until they could get there.
Shego shrugged to her question. "If you like animals that cry constantly sure."
Nurse Field defended them. "They don't know any better. Most of the time they always have something to cry for, and they sleep a lot."
"My partner wants to have our baby here." Shego said before she could stop herself. "I'm not so sure. I'm still getting used to our new family doctor."
Shego watched as the nurse paled.
"What?"
"Nothing please excuse me."
Shego watched as the odd nurse intercepted the men in security uniforms.
Shego rolled her eyes when the nurse came back and uneasy smile on her face.
"You called security on me." The nurse could tell Shego wasn't asking a question.
"At least if we do decide to have it here we know someone won't make off with it." Shego sighed and left the woman in the hallway.
-Jan. 23rd: Dr. Z's office. 2:10pm-
"I hate needles!" Kim cried. She had just come back from the rest room with her urine sample.
"Do I have to do you like I do the little seven year olds that come in here?" Dr. Zephyrus joked, and then laughed harder when Kim nodded.
"Alright," The doctor calmed herself. "I normally modify the story for some of my younger patients but I'm sure you can handle the grown up version."
Kim looked on with glee and she noted she was about to hear another of her doctors life stories.
"Put this on." Dr. Zephyrus handed her a blind fold just as Shego entered the room.
"Dr. Z is hosting story time." Kim told Shego using her one free hand to pull on the blind fold.
Shego sighed and sat back into her seat. This doctor never ceased to amaze her. "Good then by the time we leave we'll have heard her whole life story."
"Almost," Dr. Zephyrus winked.
Shego uncharacteristically stuck her tongue out at the doctor.
"Taylor decided she wanted to do something special for our sixth year anniversary, but god help me the woman can't cook to save her life, and would most likely eat take out food everyday of the week thanks to the fact that she's dug herself so far up corporate America's ass that she no long knows the meaning of the terms Vacation, Sick leave, or day's off."
Shego watched as Dr. Zephyrus cleaned an area on Kim's skin and slowly slid the needle underneath into a hidden vain. Shego was surprised the older woman didn't have to stop her story.
"I walk into my house after a hectic day here at work and instantly wished I hadn't. On the dinning room table was something I could have sworn had been food once, hell it could have been dirt but I doubt it. The kids that come in here tell me dirt tastes pretty good."
Shego thought about how much that sounded like Kim's cooking. She watched as Kim's blood quickly filled the vile, and then as Zephyrus stopped the blood flow and changed the tubes also quickly filling that one.
"But anyway. Taylor was busy doing god knows what to my kitchen; ruefully I get curious really easily. I was about to poke my head into the door but unfortunately it swings and she was coming out."
Kim pouted when she felt the blindfold being pulled off. "No fair!"
"You can hear the rest of the story tomorrow when you join me for the results of your pregnancy test, and during your pelvic exam and Pap smear. Trust me on this. You'll definitely want something to keep your mind off the Pap smear."
Kim groaned.
"Take off those clothes and hop into this." Dr. Zephyrus said leaving the room. "Feel free to leave your underwear on. If in fact you do wear them."
Kim contained her laughter as Shego fought to contain her blush and more so her temper when that "idiotic doctor" commented on her lack of underwear the last time they saw each other.
"She's fired." Shego glared.
"I like her." Kim said as she stripped and slid into the hospital gown. "And I get the feeling you do to."
"Whatever." Shego sat back in her chair and folded her arms over her chest. "It's your legs she'll be between."
Kim nearly died of laughter. The look on Shego's face once those words left her mouth was priceless.
"Don't think of it that way." Kim told her once she got herself under control again.
Shego didn't respond but only glared at the door as she came back in after a knock on the door. "Why knock? You'll see her naked anyway."
"We'll when you put it that way it does seem a little fruitless to do so." Dr. Zephyrus pulled on a new pair of gloves, and prepared to use her stethoscope. "Let's hear what your heart sounds like. Sit straight and inhale deeply."
After a few moments' she pulled away.
"You can exhale now." Shego said with a shake of her head. Only her pumpkin would have held her breath until Zephyrus told her to release it. That moronic doctor probably would have left her to faint thinking she'd eventually begin to breathe on her own again.
"Stand straight with your back against the wall," Zephyrus said indicating to the height chart against the wall.
"Is there really an accurate height and weight size chart?" Kim asked curiously.
"No. Everyone's different. What ever size keeps you healthy, happy, and enables you to do the things you like to do is the right size for you." Dr. Zephyrus turned to look at Shego. "What have you been feeding this woman?"
"Food," Shego answered curtly.
"Well then come cook four me. 6 inches in eight months is a lot of growth for a woman Kim's age." Zephyrus turned back to Kim and motioned for her to step on the scale. "Are there any growing pain?"
Kim shrugged, and glanced at Shego. "My upper legs have been a bit sore, but I doubt it was from growing pains."
Dr. Zephyrus held back her comment and paid more attention to Kim's weight.
"You've lost weight," Zephyrus murmured.
"With the way she eats?" she refused to believe it. "She feels heavier."
Kim shot Shego a glare but was cut off by Dr. Z before she could say anything.
"No you're just getting weaker."
Shego stayed quiet for the rest of the appointment, which was only Kim getting her reflexes checked, and Kim putting her cloths back on.
"I'll see you tomorrow around 10."
Kim nodded. "Yeah, we'll be here."
Shego glared at Zephyrus.
"Don't look so upset Orrick. I promise to not be between her legs longer than need be."
Kim held Shego back as Dr. Zephyrus left the room. "You started it. Now deal." She told Shego.
-Jan. 23rd '07: Walking: Home: 2:40pm-
"May I have a piggy back ride?" Kim asked while trying to climb up Shego's back.
"Sure, if you can find a pig." Shego held Kim back by her shoulders until the younger girl stopped struggling.
"Please?" Kim gave Shego her best pout.
"No. Stop doing that to your face, it doesn't work." Shego rolled her eyes as Kim whined. "It's annoying me."
"Shego!" Kim pulled on her arm.
"Pumpkin," Shego sighed "Next time we're taking the car."
"But the hospital is right there," Kim pointed from their condo complex about three blocks away to the large hospital.
"Yeah we need to talk about that." Shego remarked sliding her arm through Kim's. They began walking toward their home.
"What's to talk about?"
"We need to move," Shego said. "preferably before you start showing."
"Why? I like our place." Kim watched Shego shake her head.
"I was raised in a house, you were raised in a house, and our child will be raised in a house." Shego looked at Kim when the younger woman didn't respond.
"Well if you think that's best..." Kim said as they were walking into their condo.
Shego pulled her further into the house and closed the door. Once the two slipped out of their shoes Shego nudged Kim over to their couch and pulled her into her lap.
"I want the best for us and our baby." Shego murmured into her hair.
"So do I,"
"Then what's the problem?" Shego asked and watched as Kim turned around to straddle her waist. The younger woman sighed as she stuck her arms in between them and tucked her face into the nook of Shego's neck.
"I can't afford to help you pay for a house right now." Kim felt tears threatening to fall, she felt as if she hadn't been much help to Shego lately.
Shego nodded in understanding.
"You don't have to," She held Kim out like a small child and looked into her eyes. "It's a gift for you and our baby."
Kim smiled shakily as a few tears escaped.
Shego sat Kim up to sit on her own and wiped her tears away.
"I love you." Kim managed to choke out between tears.
"You'd better," Shego said pulling her back into her arms. "since I love you too,"
Alright! There's chapter one. I hope you enjoyed it. This is going to be the story where I begin to write longer chapters. Preferably around 10 words pages to my usual 4. So I hope you all enjoy the upgrade.
