Abigail Normal brought her Land Rover to a halt alongside the cars of the Possible family, her protective charges for the better part of six years and more than that, her extended family. Trained by the Secret Service and later by Global Justice, Abigail would protect her charges with her life. But unlike other protective charges she had been placed in charge of, this was something more. From the moment she met Kim and Shego Possible after that fateful assassination attempt that nearly cost Kim Possible her life and that of her unborn child, Kim and Shego had made Abigail feel like a member of their family, like a beloved sister. And little Gracie? Abigail would forever think of her as a niece. It was that thought that made her forget her luggage and run towards the child screaming for joy, running full tilt to her nanny.
"ABBY'S HOME!" Gracie shouted as she burst out the door.
The little munchkin made a bee line for the car, leaping into Abby's arms, hugging her for all she was worth. Abby laughed as she embraced the little munchkin and waved to Kim and Shego as they followed Gracie out the door, Shego's arm instantly snaking around Kim's waist. Politics be damned! The love that radiated between the heroine and reformed villain turned heroine was love in its purest form! What she saw before her was the very thing she hoped to have someday, a loving spouse, a beautiful house, and children that meant the world to her.
Abby hugged Kim and Shego in turn and the four of them returned for the rest of Abby's luggage. Leave it to the aspiring "big girl" to grab Abby's biggest suitcase, giving it an enormous tug but still being unable to dislodge it from the trunk space of the SUV.
"Not so fast little missy," Abby smiled as she shooed Gracie's hand away. "I've got a little present for you."
PRESENTS? Gracie squealed with glee and backed away
"So did everything go well?" Shego asked, holding the door open so the procession of bags could be brought into the house. Abby's father's operation was a success and doctors informed her family that the pacemaker was functioning perfectly. As long as her dad took it easy for a few days, he would make a full recovery. None too thrilled with the new restrictions on his diet and his driving, Abby's mother promised her daughter that she would see to it that her father behaves himself.
Gracie hugged Abby's leg, saying that she was glad that her daddy was going to be ok but was all too eager to change the subject to the present that her nanny had brought back for her charge. God help the world if Gracie turned to a life of crime. That face was so dang blasted cute she'd be able to get anything she wanted. Inside the suitcase was a wrapped package with a green bow on it. Inside was a child sized deerstalker hat and hand-made plaid cloak along with a detective kit. Abby, Kim, and Shego had taken to reading Gracie The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and since then, Gracie's stated ambition was to be the world's best detective. After being presented with the wrapped present, Gracie tore through the paper as if it was nonexistent and let out a scream of joy at seeing what her nanny had gotten for her.
"Indoor voice, young lady," Kim warned, failing to hide her joy at her daughter's glee. "Now you and I will help Abby settle in while Momma starts dinner."
The team of three hauled the bags back up to Abby's room…and unless she was very much mistaken, Abby could tell that something had transpired in her absence. Her years of training in being able to read a situation were telling her that Kim and Shego were sharing a secret. Whether Gracie was aware of it and had forgotten about it with Abby's return home or not, Abby couldn't tell, but that briefest of looks told her that Kim and Shego had a secret between the two of them.

Dinner that night consisted of Shego's special chicken quesadillas and Blood Orange sodas all around. Before Kim and Shego brought up the events of the past few days and what they planned to do, they wanted to give Abby a chance to settle back in. During Kim's pregnancy, it was Abby who brought up the idea of staying on after the birth of Gracie and becoming her nanny as well as the family body guard. In that time, she had become as much a part of this family as anyone. Kim and Shego trusted her with their lives and more importantly with that of their daughter. If they were to have another child, it would mean the world to both of them if Abby would be in favor of staying on. As Kim finished drying the last of the dinner dishes, she glanced at Shego seated in the living room. No words needed to be said; they had put this off long enough.
"Abby?" Kim called as she took a seat next to her wife. "Could you come down here for a minute?"
Abby shouted that she would be down in just a minute. True to her word, two minutes later she was walking down the stairs, drying her hair with a towel. How were they going to do this? What were they going to say? Could they really have another child and not have Abby be a part of her life? Abby was there when Kim and Shego discovered that the second device proved ineffective and how disappointed the pair were in knowing that they couldn't have another biological child, a child that was a part of Kim and Shego alike. So Kim wasn't sure how Abby would react to the knowledge that they had been given a second chance.
Not needing an invitation, Abby took a seat in the recliner next to the couch that Kim and Shego were currently occupying. Boy, did it feel good to be home…and hopefully it would feel as good finding out about what happened in her absence.
"Well…while you were gone, Shego and Ron were on a mission alongside Global Justice," Kim began explaining. "They were taking down one of DNAmy's latest secret lairs."
"After it was secure, I began rooting through her databases and found a record of the events surrounding Drakken's plan to impregnate Kimmie," Shego took over. "And it seems that...the two rings weren't…well, they weren't the only ones that DNAmy had manufactured."
Abby's heart took a sudden leap, feeling like it was about to burst out of her chest like an alien parasite. Were Kim and Shego saying what Abby thought they were saying? Was there a chance that Shego and Kim would be able to have another child? Kim held out a small metallic case containing a small device that reminded Abby of a joy buzzer. An exact duplicate of the degraded device, Abby recognized it immediately. It was true! Shego and Kim were going to have another child!
"Which brings us to why we wanted to talk," Kim took over again. This was too hard and taking too long. Screw the subtlety. "Abby, would you at all be interested…I mean it would mean the world to us if…if you'd be interested in continuing on as a nanny for our next child?"
Kim's voice was dripping with hope, but Abby couldn't believe what she was hearing. These three people meant as much to her as her own biological family…and they were ASKING her? She would gladly give her life to defend Gracie and would never have a single regret in doing so.
"We both understand that…"Shego spoke but was interrupted.
"Kim, Shego," Abby bowed her head and raised a hand, implying a request for silence. "You and Gracie are like family to me. Ever since we've met you've made every effort to make me feel welcome and like this was my home. I'm happy here and want to stay for as long as you will have me. Besides…do you even really need to ask?" She raised her head with a smile plastered across her face that would put the Cheshire cat to shame. She was going to have another charge to look after and she couldn't be more thrilled and happy for Kim and Shego.
Kim and Shego looked at each other…and burst out in a fit of laughter, now realizing just how much a part of this family Abigail Normal had become. Though both knew just how much she wanted children of her own one day, she truly DID care for them as if they were her own blood. The trio stood up, tears rolling down Kim and Shego's eyes as they pulled Abby into a group hug.
"Besides," Abby continued as they broke apart. "No charge of mine will grow up not knowing how to handle a firearm."
"Oh, please don't start THAT again," Kim groaned, returning to the kitchen for three wine glasses so they could share in a drink. Shego had taken Gracie to watch Abby compete in a few local shooting competitions and the tike seemed to take a liking to it. "A Possible needs only her wits and her limbs! Even Sherlock never used a gun!"
Despite her back being turned, Kim knew that Shego and Abby were sharing a conspiratorial grin at her expense. Though Kim had had to kill before, it was an experience that she prayed with every fiber of her being that none of her children would ever have to share with her. Shortly after their union, Shego had presented Kim a set of Karambit knives as a gift, wanting her wife to have one last line of defense when Shego wasn't there to defend her. Quite apprehensive at first, Kim could not deny that the knives had been a proper thing to have, protecting herself and Gracie in a fight that nearly cost both their lives while Gracie was still in the womb as well as being used to kill a synthrodrone after being kidnapped Bonnie Rockwaller, the crazed cheerleader who kidnapped and attempted to enslave Kim as revenger for Kim getting the better of her after the pregnancy became known. Someday, a weapon may mean the difference between her children living and dying but…she could still content herself in the fact that things like that were quite a long way off.
"I'd like to propose a toast," Abby raised the glass of chilled ice wine that Kim had given her. "To the newest member of the Possible clan. May she not give her mothers TOO many grey hairs before their time."
"Because her Momma gives me enough of them already." Kim sniggered, making a quick verbal jab at her wife.
Shego snorted, nearly choking on her wine, and reached over to a throw pillow to throw at her wife. "Why you little…you know, it is lucky you're the mother of my children and drop dead gorgeous too boot!" Shego made a grab for her struggling wife so that she could plant a kiss on her forehead. "Cause if Drakken ever said that to me all those years ago, he'd have been hitting high notes that the Beegees would envy!" That brought out a fresh round of laughter from all three as Kimmie put up a token resistance and eventually grabbed her wife and redirecting her kiss to Kim's lips and frenched the green-skinned woman whose beauty still made Kim go weak at the knees.
"Well if it is all the same to you two love birds," Abby smiled, polishing off her wine and returning the glass to the sink. "I'm going to turn in."
She got no answer as she moved towards the stares; just two arms, one pink and one green, shooing her away so that the owners of the arms could continue in their amorous activities.

"So…so how do you want to do this?" Kim asked her wife, the pair of them now in their sound-proof bedroom. Kim gazed upon her wife's pale green skin, the dim light of the candles shimmering against her silky black hair. The previous time things had all happened so fast that neither Kim nor Shego knew what happened… but now? Kim never needed an excuse to be intimate with the woman she loved so dearly but…this night she seemed to have a hard time deciding where to start.
Shego scooted up to the edge of the bed, her legs now draped over the end of the bed. She could sense how unsure her princess was and like in the early days of their relationship, Shego felt that she should take the lead. Leaning forward, she reached a hand out towards her wife. "Who are you?"
"Shego, I…" Kim answered, taking her wife's hand
"I said 'Who are you'"
"I'm…Kim Possible." She answered, still feeling very unsure.
"That's right," Shego answered, pulling her wife onto the bed next to her. "You are Kim Possible. You are the 'Girl Who can do Anything. You are the mother of our first born…and you are my reason for living. Before I met you, my world was filled with darkness. The hell that was my childhood drove me to the edge of an abyss that nearly consumed my soul…and you single-handedly brought me back. You, Mom and Dad, even the tweebs, you all gave me a real family and made me feel loved again. You have given me one beautiful and wonderful daughter and I can think of no better way for us to begin the life of a second than by just holding you in my arms." Shego rolled Kim on top of her; Kim's head nestled on her shapely breasts. "Are you ready?"
"Eme…I never thought that I could love anyone as much as I love you," Kim sighed, savoring the warmth of her wife and lover's plasma-enhanced flesh. "I'm ready. I'm ready for another child."
Ever so slowly, Shego wrapped her arms around her wife, first her right and then her left (the hand with the device). The needle embedded in the device punctured her skin near the left shoulder blade. Kim let out a slight wince and the pair of them jumped as they both felt a slight shock, the sign that the device had worked. For the second time in her life, Kim Possible was now carrying the child of her once great rival and now most beloved wife.
Author's Notes:
I hope that I'm capturing the relationship between Kim and Shego well. I've borrowed from TUIG and stories within the "Kasy and Sheki" universe created by NoDrogs and just hope that it is working.
