Something True
There are a few moments in each person's life that shape their future. We all have times when a choice was made, either consciously or not, that affected the way our lives turned out. Some of the choices we make are irreversible and many end up haunting us for the rest of our lives. Some choices we make affect the lives of others and may be the best thing we could ever do.
Such was the choice Kim and Ron had discussed nearly a month ago.
They knew their decision would have consequences affecting the future of all who knew them. The choice made was one they had talked about for years before and after their marriage. From the Junior Prom to right now, their goals had been simple. Survive the missions, get Ron through college, get married, raise a family, and lead a successful life together.
Such huge decisions were not new to couple. Kim and Ron had made such decisions before, during their many 'Save the World' missions. This decision, however, was not so easy to make. The discussion became serious almost exactly in synch with their one year wedding anniversary. The couple went through periods of love, anger, deep thought, and even some tears while trying to make this decision.
Everything else in their lives was so perfect, just the way the two lovers had planned it. Ron had his Business degree and was now running his own successful restaurant. Kim had her Legal degree and was practically in charge of the Family Law office for the city of Middleton. Team Possible had grown to include most of the Possible clan and friends. The team would never make it as big as Interpol or Global Justice. Still crime was clearly lower in the tri-city area than anywhere else in the state, and Kim and Ron took great satisfaction in that. Team Possible had become so much more than the original two teens ever thought it would be. Drs. Wade and Olivia Lode ran the tech side, Yamanouchi offered training (unofficially), Joss ran the missions with Jim and Tim, and nobody beat the Bonnie/Tara investigation team.
The couple lay in bed in their usual position of him on his back and her head up on his chest, arms around each other. The lovemaking last night was as satisfying for him as ever, but for her, something had changed. Perhaps it was the discussion again just before bedtime. Perhaps it was the long period since the last time they had been together that way. Or perhaps, in Kim's mind, what was different was the goal of their relations had changed from one of just pleasure to something else.
Regardless of the answer, Kim was feeling really bad this morning. I love him so much, I am so ready to give him everything. I just hope he appreciates what I am about to do to him and his world. His world? Mine will never be the same again. I know I'm ready, I just wish it was already over.
Kim quickly got up from the bed and started towards the master bathroom. Ron slightly moaned as she did, "Oh KP, it never seems to stop getting better."
Kim smiled as she entered the bathroom, let's see what you will be saying a year from now Ronnie. Enjoy it while you can, you may not be getting this regularly this time next year.
Kim closed and locked the door behind her, privacy was still an issue, even though the two of them had been intimate for years. Quickly she reached up and found the box she had hidden in the linen closet. Ron Stoppable was a kitchen ace and his restaurant success proved it. Putting away laundry, however, was not one of his strong points. He was content to live out of the laundry basket full of clean clothes until the next laundry day. Kim knew whatever she had stored up here was safe.
Kim quickly found she really did need to use the bathroom but waited while starting up the shower. As she sat down on the edge of the claw tub, she opened the box and started going through its contents. There were print outs from Dr. Olivia Load, Wade's wife, charting and plotting when was the best time do what she had to do. Kim had never liked leaving things to chance, especially when it came to Ron. She asked Olivia for help four months ago, on their one year anniversary, to help determine the best time to accomplish her goal, and when she could spring the results on Ron.
Well today was that day. It was physically too late to turn back now, if she was already successful in this attempt.
A cramp hit Kim as she sat there, I can't put this off any longer this morning. I hope you are ready for this bit of news Ron. She quickly opened another small box, holding a device Olivia had bought for her over a week ago. She didn't want to be seen obtaining something like this, the press would expose her plan to Ron and the world before she was ready. Olivia knew its instructions by heart and gave Kim a crash course in its use..
Finishing quickly, she jumped into the shower, waiting for the device to do its job.
Usually Kim hopped out of the shower, squeaky clean and ready to take on the world. Today, knowing the white device was sitting on the edge of the sink, her heart was filled with dread. Slowly she climbed out of the tub, wrapping herself with a large bath towel. Like I don't want this device to see me naked? I am certainly not covering myself for Ron's sake. Yet she found herself not even wanting to look at the object. Come on Kimberly Ann Stoppable, this is what you want to happen. Just look at it.
Yes, the answer is yes.
Thoughts of fear and joy filled her head. She closed her eyes and burst into tears. Suddenly she stood up, stopped crying and began to laugh, as she felt whole, complete, and …
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Her hand quickly snapped over and hit the alarm button. She sat up in bed and noticed that Ron had already gotten up. From the noises she could hear downstairs, breakfast was being made. She could smell the bacon and pancakes. At any moment Ron was sure to come busting in the bedroom door with a tray loaded down with her favorite breakfast.
Oh my God, the dream again. Am I ready? Are we ready? She placed her face down into the palms of her hands and shivered with excitement. It's time, time for Ron and I to start our family. I know Ron is ready. Time to get up, head to the bathroom and run the test.
God willing, maybe we will have twins?
Oh well, anything is Possible, for a Possible.

I know this one isn't as different as my three previous chapters. That is why I named this one SOMETHING TRUE. It maybe Kim's dreams, but the feelings that her and Ron share is true, for a cartoon.
