Author's Note: What's this? :O the second chapter is out? gasp! I was planning to not post this until i had written the third chapter... but i'm a procrastinator, i'd feel bad if i ended up holding this chapter forever because I kept forgetting to work on ch. 3 :p i mean, I know what i want to do for the next chapter - i've had this whole story planned out for over two months now (i just never did anything with the idea) Oh yeah, i also know that the title of this is so misleading... the whole "it's a girl" thing... i just didn't have a name for this and you need a name to publish the story and so it became that :o i might change it in the future, I might not - i dunno - so yeah, with that stuff out of the way, I hope you guys enjoy :) remember, if i fall behind in updating, remind me!
When Shego dropped Sara off at school and pecked her on the forehead, she left the classroom to find Kim waiting for her.
"Hey Pumpkin."
"I have a few questions," the redhead said seriously.
Shego sighed. There was no way she wanted to do this at the kids' school, so she said to her ex-enemy, "Come on, we'll chat at a café nearby."
Kim awkwardly climbed into the passenger seat of Shego's Challenger and they headed for the café, not yet talking to each other.
After ordering and taking a seat with their drinks, Kim finally asked, "Is Sara your kid?"
"Yeah."
"And she's 8?"
"Yeah."
"And she's your biological kid?"
"Correct."
"So you had a daughter all those years you were fighting me?"
"Yeah."
"You never said you had a kid…"
Shego shrugged, "You don't exactly tell your enemy you have a kid."
"Is she you and Drakken's?" Kim asked, a semi creeped out look on her face.
The green skinned woman looked at her in disgust, "No fucking way. I had Sara before I started working with Dr. D."
"Did he know you had a kid?"
"Nope. We didn't really talk about our personal life. He didn't even know I had brothers, remember?"
"Oh… right. Whose kid is he then?"
Shego sighed, "Someone I dated back in high school. He was a transfer student. Cute, well built, chiseled jaw. He was an alluring guy. Everyone wanted to be with him, but he didn't seem to have an interest in anybody."
"But he had an interest in you…?"
Shego chuckled, "Not for the longest time. I was just another face in the crowd."
"Wait, is this before you were hit by the meteor?"
"About, two years before."
"So then…. How did you and him get together?"
"Well, turns out I was the type of girl he was looking for, he just didn't know much about me until he found me beating up a guy picking on Mego. Seems he wanted a strong girl, not some airhead who was weak."
"So you were tough even back in high school, huh?" Kim asked with a small smile.
Shego shrugged, "Yeah. Our parents wanted us to learn to fight from a young age – to know how to protect ourselves in case of a dangerous situation. I just happened to be the most skilled out of us siblings. Hego was second to me. Mego was as weak as the twins at the time, and at that point, they had just entered sixth grade."
"So he was interested in the fact that you were stronger than guys? That's an… interesting quality he was looking for."
"Well, not really something he was attracted to, just something he knew he wanted."
Kim scrunched her nose, "What do you mean?"
Shego scratched the back of her head, "Let's not get into that. I'd rather not discuss more about him than what I've already disclosed."
The redhead wanted to ask a few more questions about him, but seeing as she'd already gotten so many answers from the ex-villain she didn't want to push her luck. Instead she switched back to Sara. "So how did you take care of her? You were just a teen when you had her, right?"
"Yeah, I was still in high school. When my family found out my father was outraged. He doesn't like the idea of sex before marriage… so the fact I got pregnant and I wasn't even engaged kind of pissed him off. Well, either way, since my dad is pro-life he was against an abortion, which was ok with me. I was to give her up for adoption. Back then I thought I was totally in love with the guy, so having his kid made me think he'd stay with me. My mom helped me pretend to give him up, but she and I took care of her without their knowledge. We managed for a year, but we'd been having a hard year financially and I knew I needed a job that would pay well so I could take care of Sara, and so I became a villain – I'd been a hero for about 6months at this point, but that didn't pay the bills. My mom still helped me with her even after I became bad and she was the only one who knew why I turned into a villain. I just told everyone that being good was boring, but I was ok with people thinking badly of me. It was just me, my mom, and Sara – Sara's dad was out of the picture soon after he found out I'd given Sara up for adoption." Shego took a sip of her coffee as Kim absorbed the information.
"Wait, why did her father leave you? Don't most high school guys want to avoid having a child at that age? If you told him you gave her up for adoption, shouldn't he have been relieved?" the redhead asked in confusion.
Frowning Shego replied, "I said before I don't want to go into detail about her father…. But to put it simply, he wanted to keep her, even if it meant he didn't keep me. I'm always worried he'll find out I kept her and try to take her from me."
Kim was close to asking why when she realized that Shego's expression had changed to fear. She didn't remember ever seeing such a look in her enemy's eyes, and it scared her a little. She hesitantly reached across the table and placed a hand on the green skinned woman's. "Are you ok?"
Shego shook herself out of it and pulled away from the redhead's touch. "I'm fine." She abruptly stood up, "That should be enough questions for now. I need to get some cleaning done before I pick Sara up."
Kim stood as well, "Wait, just, one last question."
Sighing the older woman asked, "Yes?"
"Why did you tell me all of this?"
"We were enemies, Pumpkin, but that was a little over a year ago. Time has passed, and I've moved on from that. Also, don't forget, I didn't become a villain because I was bad, that's why I stopped being evil the first chance I had. I also know you're a good kid, and you wouldn't go around blabbing this information to everyone you meet. We may not be friends due to the past, but I do trust you. You try to always do the right thing. And sometimes… I just need someone to talk to. It's nice to know there's someone other than my mother for me to talk to about this."
"So you're willing to talk to me more on this subject…?"
"That's another question."
"Come on, just answer it, last one, honest."
"Yeah," Shego smiled slightly, "I'm just tired right now. See you later." She waved as she left the café.
Kim wasn't sure what to do with the information Shego had given her. Should she feel bad for the woman? Pity her? No, Shego wasn't one who deserved pity. She was strong, stronger than anyone Kim had ever met before. She wasn't sure if them talking could mean they were on the path to possibly being friends, but she liked that she could talk to Shego without fighting. She liked to see this side of her, one that so few people ever had the chance to know.
