Well... Chapter... what? 3? 4?

"Methinks I should beat the Hell outta you for doing that to poor Kimmie."

Shego went through years of hardcore training under a strict regimen to master her emotions. She had to deal with excruciating pain every time she let loose of her cool. She had had the displeasure of having the best, and disciplined, master of all. Despite all that, she had learned to relax these past couple of years. She showed annoyance, pleasure and anger freely. Today, however, she was showing an emotion quite unbecoming of her.

Shego was twitchy.

She had good reason, though. She was stuck in a situation she had deemed 'worst time of my life'; and that was above all the near-death experiences she faced in her early career in crime. What was she currently going through that was so bad, you ask?

She was sitting in the middle of the couch in her parents' house with her father sitting on her right, blubbering incomprehensible words. Kim was blushing furiously and seemed to shrink to the size of an action figure while sitting so close to the edge of her seat it looked like she was about to fall off. And, worst of all, her mother was just sitting on an isolated chair with that smug all-knowing smirk plastered on her face. But as second by awkward second passed, her anxiousness was giving way to a much more familiar emotion. Annoyance. If the situation didn't change soon, she would personally guarantee someone in the room more than just a few missing teeth.

Alexander and Sheila Green were a good-looking couple who looked younger than they actually were. Despite both being over 60, they were fit and showed no signs of losing their youthful nature to time. Sheila was slim and had curves that would make a model envious. It was obvious where Shego got all her looks from. She had the most youthful hazel eyes Kim had ever seen and her chestnut hair looked as smooth as silk.

Her husband was no pushover, either. Alex still had the same chiseled physique he had back when he was 25, albeit more tan for some reason. His dark hair was stylishly messy with a few strands falling on his clear face and his eyes still had their cunning gleam. However, he looked much older and way more stressed than he did not 2 hours ago.

If you had asked either female in the room, they'd have said he was over-reacting so much, he may just be hyperventilating. It had started with Shego and Kim coming, which was a shock in and of itself since Shego rarely visits what with her evil career and Kim being her arch enemy and all. But what had been the coup de grace was Shego bluntly saying that she was legally married to her rival and nemesis.

Suddenly, in mid-blab, Alex turned to his only daughter, his expression pathetic and the wrinkles on his face more and more obvious. "And I thought you were straight! Why didn't you tell us?!"

"Honey, that's kinda changing the topic." Sheila said as she placed a somewhat comforting hand on her hubby's knee. Instead of him calming down as everyone wanted, he faced the woman he had been with for the last 30 years. Sheila was always loyal. Never flirting with strange men, obeyed his decisions unless they were/turned stupid. Could cook a helluva dinner and was a great housewife. Perfectly gorgeous, too.

"Could you be a lesbian, too?!"

The light brunette stared at the man before her with a raised brow. Her look was of the 'are you serious?' kind. As one might do when put in this situation, Sheila.... laughed. It started as a snicker but steadily grew to a giggle and then a full-hearted laugh. It proved to be highly contagious. Soon enough, Shego started laughing too; followed soon after by a very relieved and relaxed redhead. Alex, remarkably still in shock from his child's announcement, continued rambling.

"I mean, I've noticed you looking at younger women too and you've also been spending a lot more time with your girlfriends- Oh my God! They're not really your girlfriends, right?! They're just your friends, right?!! You haven't been having an affair with them, right?! RIGHT??!!!!"

The green-eyed gracefully aging man was obviously having an anxiety attack and looked like he was ready to run around in circles and scream frantically at any minute. The very thought was hilarious. Thus, the women laughed harder.

&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%

"So you're not a lesbian..." The not-so-young man stated while looking at his spouse, Sheila. He slowly turned to his left, "And you're... you're..."

"Lawfully bonded to a girl 5 years my junior, yes." Shego nodded blankly.

Alex took a deep breath and exhaled as he sunk into his seat. "This is a lot to take in..."

"It isn't that mu-" the hazel-eyed woman stopped herself. "No, you're right. It is a lot to digest."

Shego spared a glance at the clock hanging on the wall and, as if she had been waiting for that very second, she stood up. "Well, it's been great catching up with you folks. I'd promised Kimmie's parents she'd be home before 10."

"But that's 5 hours from now." Sheila whined, not wanting to let her daughter go so easily. She hardly gets the chance to see her on any occasion. They should spend more time together.

"I wanted to take Cupcake here somewhere. There's something I want to show her."

"Oh? And what might that be?" Kim asked, curious.

"You'll find out soon enough, Pumpkin." Shego winked at her with a grin, which earned her a blush.

"Before you go, will you follow me for a while?" Sheila said as she, too, stood up and walked out of the room.

Shego sighed heavily, seemingly knowing what was about to happen. "Gimme a minute." She grumbled as she followed her mother.

As soon as the two left, Alex turned to Kim. "So...." He started as casually as he could. "How did you two get engaged?"

The redheaded teen hero laughed awkwardly. "Well... That's a pretty funny story..."

&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%&%

"Yeah? What is it, Mom?" Shego asked lazily as she seated herself on a nearby chair.

For the first time since Shego arrived, Sheila looked nervous. The green tinted young woman noticed the change in demeanor but gave no indication. "Well, Kath, I-"

"Just out with it, already. Don't try to be 'subtle' with me." The thief stood up from her seat and went to get herself a glass of water. "God, does anybody actually think that approach works?" She said, just before she took a sip of her drink.

Sheila took a deep breath. 'Well, here goes nothing.' "Kim's not pregnant, is she?"

Whatever liquid that was about to go down Shego's throat got caught down the way and the mighty supervillain was soon choking on plain water. She then gave her mother a look that practically screamed, 'You gotta be shitting me.'

Sheila grinned sheepishly and shrugged.

Shego facepalmed so hard, that when she removed her hand, a huge red handprint was in its place.
