When Kim and Shego found Dr. Director she in her office yelling at someone over the phone and she looked like she had been crying. Slamming the phone down she looked up angrily, asking
"What do you two want?"
"Some answers" said Shego; "you ran out of the integration room so fast and without saying a word that I didn't know if I should kill him or kiss him."
Then Kim said "Remember you're the one that said we are all one family and when one is hurt we all hurt! So out with it, what has you so upset?"
Setting down then taking a deep breath as Betty tried to calm her nerves she then waved for them to set down as she took a moment to collect her thoughts. With a far off look in her eyes Betty started to explain.
"His name is Bruce Hardtack and we were partners back when I was in the CIA, he was also the father of my daughter that was kidnapped and murdered. He loved her so much, that her death almost drove him mad; and he blamed me for not giving in to their demands. Her name was Joy and she was born on his birthday; she would have been twenty one years old this year."
Not ably to continue Betty broke down and started crying. Shego and Kim just looked at each other not knowing what to say. Shego walked over to Betty; hugging her until she calmed down
"Betty we never knew!"
Kim added "I don't think that you should be by yourself tonight; please come and stay at my house; I know that my mother would love to have you over."
That night the four women were setting around the Possible's kitchen table talking over the events of the last few years as Betty explained.
"We never got married because we thought that would have a negative effect on our working relationship. But we did love each other and he adored our child, we were one of the best teams in the CIA; there was not an assignment that we would not take on or one that we ever failed to complete. Back then we were the Team Possible so to speak! But after her funeral, Bruce just lost his mind, he quit the CIA; then disappeared and I never saw him again! Then I was offered this position and met my husband Jack; then we had Sarah. Jack always knew about Bruce but he loved me and we were all very happy until the plane crash that took him from us."
Kim asked "Betty how old is Sarah and how come we never meet her?"
"She's eight; and I try to keep my family and work separate. Besides she is already a huge fan of yours Kim and I don't want her to get any ideas about following in your footsteps."
Anne said "Betty I'm sure that Kim and the boys would love to meet her, Kim is a very good babysitter; she's been doing that longer than she's been saving the world. Where is Sarah at now?
"She's safe and sound at the white house with President Rockford. Those two have been good for each other, she thinks that she's the boss and loves all the attention she gets from the staff and he loves her like his own daughter. It's going be hard to bring her home when he's done with this world tour."
"Oh" said Shego, "We just assumed that you were going to just move in permanent with the president and become the next first lady."
With a bashful smile Betty confessed "It's true he has asked me to marry him, but that would mean giving up my position at Global Justice and I'm not ready to do that just yet.
Kim asked "But why? Do you think that you are the only one who can run Global Justice? Don't you think that its time that you start enjoying your life and let someone else worry about all of the evil in this world?"
Getting angry with Kim Betty answered "I know that I'm not the only one who can run Global Justice Kim, but it's just that I started Global Justice from nothing and built it into the organization that criminal's fear and world leaders respect. And I am not going to turn over the reins until I feel that it is time and I have someone I trust is ready to take over!"
"You already have Will Du. He was your protégé and he knows the organization inside and out. Besides Shego, Wade, Ron and I will always be there to help when he needs it."
"Kim" said her mother, "Stop badgering Betty, she is the only one that can make that decision and she doesn't need you to tell her what's best for her."
"But I was only trying to help" Kim started to say but the look from her mother stifled any other response she might have made.
Shego got a big grin then said "Anne, when I have children you have got to promise me that you will teach me how you do that, because the only time I have ever seen Kim quite and obedient is when you are around! "Oh," and that time Drakken put that obedient chip on our four heads."
"Why Shego, are you pregnant" asked Kim?
"NO", "I'm not pregnant! What makes you ask something like that?"
"Oh Shego, she was just messing with you! Now Kim, say you're sorry or I'll have to send you to your room" demanded Anne!
"Okay I'm sorry, but when you do have kids don't ask me to baby sit just so you and Will can go to our cabin to make more, like you did with the class you stuck me with" Kim responded teasing Shego.
"Yea well, Will and I never even made it into the cabin and how did my brother know where to find me?"
"Easy," answered Anne; "He called here looking for you so I told him. Did you really have Kim take over a class so you two could sneak out of work a little early?"
"Yes and now that everything has settled down we would really like a chance to use it again this weekend. That is if, it's all right with you Anne?" Shego pleaded as she clasped her hands giving Anne a very sad puppy dog pout.
"You still have the keys don't you?"
