Chapter 2: Long Road

Kim slowly awoke to the steady beep and hum of the various pieces of medical equipment in the small room in which she was in. She stirred slightly, and as she did she could feel someone gently grip her hand and softly call her name. She slowly opened her eyes as best she could considering her right eye was nearly completely swollen shut. Taking in her surroundings for the first time she quickly noted that she was indeed in what appeared to be a small dimly lit hospital room. Medical equipment and machines were set up by her bed, various wires and tubes ran from the equipment to her.

Confused and a little dazed Kim began to wonder just what had happened and what she was doing here, but was quickly brought out of her thoughts when she heard someone softly call her name again. "kimmie-cub, sweety, it's alright I'm here and your safe now, okay." Anne Possible stated comfortingly as tears slowly traced down her cheeks. "Your father should be back soon to honey, he had to leave to get us a change of clothes and some food but should be back real soon." Anne said as she gently patted her daughters hand lovingly. "We rushed here the moment Dr. Director told us that you were hurt during your last mission trying to stop Drakken and Shego. We were so scared and didn't know what to think at that moment, but everything's okay now, everything's going to be fine sweety." Her mother said around the ball that was quickly forming in her throat, all the worry and grief that she was feeling slowly rising to the surface.

Everything in Kim's world came to a sudden halt the moment her mother had mentioned shego's name. Memories of everything that had happened on that mission suddenly came flooding back, her sneaking in on Drakken and Shego, their fight, her confession, and then... and then. A horrible waling was suddenly released from her throat as she began thrashing about violently.

Caught off guard, and a little shocked Anne Possible now found herself attempting to restrain her daughter from tearing away the medical equipment and I.V. line currently connected to her, as well as attempting to prevent the young hero from injuring herself further. As Anne struggled to restrain her daughter she frantically called out for assistance, after a few moments that felt like a lifetime two nurses rushed into the room. The first of the two nurses went to assist Anne in her attempts to still Kim's violent thrashing, the second quickly readied a small syringe. While Anne and the first nurse held Kim as still as possible the second nurse quickly stuck the teen her with the syringe, and after only a short few moments Kim's movements stilled and waling ceased as she once again slowly drifted off to sleep.

Once Kim was resting quietly Anne attempted to stand and move back to her chair that was positioned beside her daughters bed, but her legs refused to carry her and quickly gave out. Anne dropped to her knees on the floor and had begun crying loudly as an uncontrollable surge of emotions crashed over her. The two nurses who were still in the room checking the equipment and lines to make sure everything was still connected properly went to Anne Possibles aid and assisted her back to her chair, doing as best the could to help and comfort the the older redhead.

There was little comfort that they could offer though, Anne was a doctor, a brain surgeon, and Kim's mother. Yet here she was powerless to do anything to help her daughter and ease her suffering. She just wanted to do something, anything at all, but in the end there was nothing that she could do but hope, wait, and be there for her daughter as best she could. The road to recovery looked like it was going to be a long and hard one, and she was going to make sure that she was at her daughters side every step of the way. Anne eventually cried herself to sleep that night holding Kim's hand in her own, wanting nothing more in the world than assure her daughter that everything would work out and that she would be okay.

James Possible stood in the doorway of his daughters small hospital room, gazing first to his injured daughter, then to his wife. Even as she slept the pain and anguish on his wife's face was still evident. James wanted nothing more at that moment than to find the person that did this, to find that person and make them pay. How dare they cause his family this kind of pain, and hurt? For now though he would provide for his family, be there to protect and comfort them, and once he was sure that they were once again all okay, He would hunt down the person that dared to disrupt their lives and try and destroy their happiness. Yes he would fined them, and then he would kill them.

A/N: Okay well here's chapter 2, a bit short I know but I hope to make up for that with chapter 3. I would like to thank everyone who has read this little fic of mine, and judging by the reviews I have gotten so far it looks as though chapter 1 had the desired effect I was looking for. So once again thank you for reading and hopefully chapter three will be up in the next couple of days.
