Sorry if the story feels rushed, I've been debating about writing it for a while haha. Drakken and Shego have been one of my favorite parings in Kim Possible, so I decided to start this little series of family one-shots. Enjoy!
Chapter #1 - What's in a name?
It was a typical afternoon in Drakken's lair as Drakken was busy working on another one of his inventions, while Shego sat on a chair flipping through a magazine. "Behold Shego, with a few minor modifications, my greatest invention will be complete!" He gloated, tightening the screws on the metal box.
"I don't understand why you're building a stupid doomsday device when our daughter will arrive at any moment" Shego glared. She knew he was nervous, but to preoccupy himself with his lame inventions irked her.
"Shego, when our SON arrives, I won't have time to even create a single invention" Drakken exclaimed, "I have to create one more invention before we're mindless zombies to our son's demands."
"Speaking of our child, how confident are you that our child's a boy?" Shego questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"120% confident, Shego" Drakken grinned, "Think about it, he can take over the evil business! Invent rays and devices of doom! We'll conquer the world together as father and son!"
"Ahem" Shego glared, "And what have we been trying to do for eight years? Besides what if the kid doesn't like evil? He'll resent you forever."
"Not like evil? Shego, that's ridiculous! Our son has to like evil, we're evil."
"I'm betting our child's a girl" She smirked, "I already have names."
"You do?"
Shego handed him the list, "The ones I'm leaning toward are circled."
Drakken skimmed through the list and gasped, "Wait, why do you have boy names too? Are you also leaning toward our child being a boy?"
"Since I'm positive you haven't looked for names yet, I decided to do that for you to save time" Shego rolled her eyes, "What do you think?"
"Steven? Isn't that the guy you almost left me for?" He glared, causing Shego to snatch the list.
"Can it, Drew" She growled, quickly snatching the list and scratching out the name. She couldn't believe she forgot about Stevie, even though that happened four years ago. "And his name was Steve, not Steven."
"Close enough" Drakken huffed, "Don't bother with those names Shego, because I already have one in mind."
"You do?"
"Of course! And it's the best name in the world!"
'Oh no…' Shego started rubbing her temples, "Please tell me our son's name isn't going to be Drew…"
"What's wrong with our son being named after me?"
"Not to burst your bubble Doc, but if you want our son to be in the 'evil business' You don't want to have the same name" She exclaimed.
"I think having two Drakkens is a good thing, Shego" Drakken said, "You'll probably name our daughter after you. See, you even wrote Sasha here."
"My name isn't Sasha, dork" Shego scoffed "I think those goggles are cutting the circulation to your brain."
"Just admit it, Shego. Drew Jr. has a nice ring to it" Drakken grinned, "I don't understand why you're so against our son's name."
"Because you'll end up being Drew Senior" Shego sighed, "Imagine going to those meetings and you'll be like Señor Senior and Junior, might as well teach our son the evil laugh too while your at it."
Drakken facepalmed himself and sighed, "Okay, okay, I see what you mean. What else would you suggest to name our son then, Shego?"
"That's for you to figure out, Dr.D" Shego smirked, "I'd go through the baby name books if I were you, who knows when Sasha will make her appearance."
"You'll see, Shego. I'll find the perfect name!" Drakken declared, grabbing a bunch of baby name books from the shelf.
Shego walked over to him and kissed his cheek, "Good luck, I'm going to get lunch. You want anything?"
"You can't leave the lair! What if…ngh…Avery arrives?"
"Try again, Dr.D" She rolled her eyes, "I'll be fine, plus the kid and I are craving Bueno Nacho."
"I'm going with you" Drakken stood up with the book, "I'm not going to risk our son…Blake, coming into the world without his father there!"
Shego shook her head at him, "Fine."
"You like that name?"
"No, I meant fine you can come, just don't read and drive" She grumbled, dragging him by the arm.
They got into the blue hovercar and took off to Middleton. During the ride, Shego started to feel cramping in her back and stomach. 'Just stay in there a little longer, kiddo' She prayed, biting her lip.
In 20 minutes, they arrived at Bueno Nacho and parked the hovercar in two stalls.
"Alright Shego, we're here!" Drakken smiled, but noticed his wife was sweating and clenching her fists in pain. "Shego, what's wrong? Is…Charlie ready to come out?"
"I-I'm not sure…"Shego groaned, "Why are you so bad at picking names, Drew…"
"Well excuse me for trying to find a name for our son, Shego" He huffed, "I'm sure our Corey is ready to come out."
Shego gripped the collar of his coat, "Drew, we need to go to the hospital."
"Now?"
"NOW!" She yelled, as Drakken quickly started the hovercar and rushed to the hospital. The next couple minutes felt like a blur to Drakken as he watched the hospital staff whisk his pregnant wife away to the emergency room.
"Sorry Mr. Lipsky, she's losing a lot of blood. You'll have to wait till she's stable to come in" a nurse said, rushing into the glass doors.
Drakken sat in the waiting room, fear and worry building inside him. He held the baby name book close and sighed, "Does a name really matter now? Your mother's in serious condition." He opened it once more and somehow he came across a unique name. "Could it be…"He read the name over and over, his smile widening as he liked the sound of it. "I found it…Ha! I found the perfect name!" He shouted, scaring the other guests in the lobby.
"Mr. Lipsky."
"Wait till Shego hears this name! She'll love it for sure!" He continued, "This proves our child is a boy!"
"Mr. Lipsky!" the nurse called, causing Drakken to jump.
"I-Is Shego okay? How's my…our child?" He asked, concernly.
The nurse smiled, "Your wife's stable and regained consciousness, Mr. Lipsky. Do you want to meet your child?"
"Yes!" Drakken nodded, nearly sprinting to the room. He quickly opened the door and noticed Shego sitting up with an infant bundled in her arms. "Shego!"
Shego glared at him as she placed a finger to her lips, "Shh!"
"Sorry"He whispered, walking over to her, "So…"
"You won…"She mumbled, while smoothening the infant's black hair.
"Come again?" Drakken leaned in.
"You won, alright…we have a boy" She rolled her eyes with a smile.
Drakken glanced at their son with tears in his eyes. The infant had a tuff of black hair with a green streak and dark onyx eyes. "Hello Dashiel" He greeted, taking the infant from Shego. The infant slowly opened his eyes and smiled at his father.
"Dashiel?"Shego blinked, "Where'd you find that name?"
"What's wrong with that name?" He frowned, hoping she was just being sarcastic.
"Nothing" Shego leaned in to kiss him, "I like it." She took Dashiel from Drakken and smiled, "He's perfect."
"My greatest invention ever" Drakken nodded.
"Your greatest invention?" Shego scoffed, "Who was in my womb for nine months? All you had to do was buy me stuff and be you…"
"Fine, our greatest invention" He grumbled, "Since I did contribute to half of the DNA, Shego."
"Ugh, cork it. Don't ruin the moment with your stupid science ranting" She said, causing Drakken to glare.
Before Drakken could argue back, Dashiel started to cry.
"Did your loud, annoying daddy wake you up?" Shego hushed, rocking the infant.
"I wanna hold him, Shego" Drakken begged.
"Not yet" She glared, "He might be hungry."
Drakken looked around the room and blinked, "There's no bottle, how are you going to feed him? Should I call the nurse?"
"Drew."
"Yes, Shego?"
Shego sighed, "Nevermind…just go get the nurse."
"Okay!" He nodded, rushing out of the room.
Shego rolled her eyes and kissed her son's forehead, "You have an interesting father, kiddo. You'll get use to him-" Crash! "…eventually."
