A/N: Back so soon? Good, enjoy lol


It was one in the afternoon when Shego's phone rang. An irritated sound came from a messy pile of hair. Her green arm shot out from under the pillow and slammed on the offensive device. She answered, "Hello?"

"You're still asleep? You're at least usually eating breakfast by now, mija."

Shego let out a tired sigh. "Yeah, well I didn't get much sleep last night."

"Who's jumping your bones and keeping you up all night? It's not that fiery redhead is it?" Valarie jokingly asked. Teasing Shego was so easy to the mother. She never missed the chance to do so.

There was a pause before an answer which made Valarie gasp. "Wait, you two…"

"NO, Máma." Shego rubbed her face in frustration. "She was here, but we were binge watching a Netflix show. That's it. She left this morning."

Knowing her daughter, Valarie knew what was up. Had nothing been going on, Shego would have told her to mind her own damn business. Or she would've at least ignored the question due to its irrelevancy. But her Firefly almost sounded innocent. A little too innocent. She had an idea.

"Mija, I haven't seen you in a so long. Come over for lunch tomorrow."

"I literally just saw you a week ago. Remember how you showed up on my doorstep in tears, wanting to baby me over my injury?"

Shego's mother almost whined. "A week is so long ago. You should bring Kim too. We haven't been properly introduced. It's been ages since I've met a friend of yours."

The green-skinned woman swung her feet around the bed and got up. She wasn't going back to sleep again, so she figured she might as well start making brunch. "Maybe that's because I never wanted anyone to meet you or the rest of my crazy family."

"Yeah, right. You never valued anyone enough to bring them home anyway. So tomorrow at two? I'll make your favorite dish," Valarie cooed.

Shego's mouth started to water at the thought of her mother's cooking. She attempted to keep any kind of excitement out of her response. "Fine, we'll see you at two."

"Gracias, mi amor."

Shego ended the call and went to her most recent conversation.

Me: Ever had authentic Puerto Rican food? Tmrw's the day. Meeting my 🐦 2pm

🎃 is typing…

🎃: Uhh, bird? Wdym?

Me: I guess you'll find out at 2. I'll pick u up at 1:30

Shego smirked while she opened the fridge. She suddenly remembered to add something.

Me: oh and wear something cute ;)

°•BK•°

Kim, who was still pretty tired, had a big goofy smile plastered on her face as she yawned. She was getting ready to help volunteer at a local kid's dojo. Every once in awhile, the redhead showed up to help teach the kids some martial arts. She was good friends with the guy who taught the class and he was delighted when had time to drop by.

Having already eaten, Kim got dressed and ready to go. She couldn't help but think about the text Shego recently sent her. After thinking for a bit, she figured out that Shego's bird was most likely her mom and that they were meeting her for a home cooked meal.

Trying food from other countries was one of Kim's favorite things to do while out on missions. She'd make sure to have a meal anywhere she ended up due to a scuffle. Ron sometimes passed, being somewhat a picky eater. You'd think a natural cook would expand his taste buds a bit. Bueno Nacho really did a number on his appetite.

Going back to the invitation. Did this mean something? Meeting someone's parents was typically a bigger deal when you were somewhat… involved.

Kim called Monique on her walk to the dojo.

"Hey, girlfriend. WTW?" Monique answered.

"Hey, Mo. I'm just walking to the dojo, but I have something to ask you."

"Shoot."

"Is meeting someone's parents a big significance?"

"Girl, are you talking about Shego? You two have been all cutesy for a while now. Hell, even when she first started showing her face around here. You told me about your first kiss, but are you two, like, official?"

Kim made a turn at the end of the block. "That's the thing, Mo. I'm not sure. We haven't really… talked about us. We're just kind of going with the flow."

"If I were you, I would take this seriously. Dress nice, but don't go overboard. And make you talk to Shego beforehand. It would be wise if you guys were on the same page. Do you want to be her girlfriend?"

Girlfriend? The sound of that both frightened and excited Kim. She hadn't had much time to completely come in terms with her new found attraction towards the ex-thief. But on the other hand, she was experiencing something completely new and fresh with Shego. She loved the feeling of it.

"I do," Kim said confidently.

"Then straighten it out with her before you meet her mom. Tell her you want to be official." Mo smiled even though Kim couldn't see it. "I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm so happy for you GF. Shego brings out a glow in you and vise versa. Keep her out of trouble."

Kim finally reached the dojo. "Thanks, Mo. For everything. Your support and encouragement means a lot to me. I'm about to head into the dojo, but I'll update you on everything tomorrow."

"Ok, love you, bye."

Kim really loved Monique. She was like the sister she never had. But, now the redhead had to clear her mind for the kids.

°•BK•°

The ride to Shego's mom's house was mostly silent minus the music playing in the background. Kim couldn't tell if Shego was nervous or not. Her face was unreadable.

The two ladies were both dressed nicely. Kim wore a bright brink blouse and white shorts, while Shego wore a flowing black shirt and green leggings. Shego most definitely approved of Kim's attire. She would occasionally glance at Kim's legs which didn't go unnoticed by the redhead.

Once they reached their destination, Shego cut the Lambo off. Both girls struggled to figure out what to say, but it was Shego who turned and spoke first. "Kim…"

Kim found herself getting chills every time Shego said her name. It wasn't often at all, though. Oh God, not 'Kim'. She's going to say something serious.

"We never really discussed what we are to each other and it hadn't occurred to me until just recently. I was going to introduce you as my girlfriend…" Shego gave the other girl a nervous smile. "But it would make sense to ask first. So..."

Kim smiled brightly. "Yes, of course, Shego."

"Dammit, Kimmie! Let me at least get the words out. Will you be my girlfriend?" Shego asked in a bit of frustration.

Instead of answering, Kim leaned in a stole the older woman's lips. Kim had gotten used to this. As much as her developing feelings scared her, this was one of the few things that reeled her back in. Shego's kisses were gentle, but passionate. Her scent was intoxicating and made Kim light-headed. She had to stop and rest her forehead against the raven-haired woman to catch her breath.

"I'm assuming that's a second yes." Shego got out the car and opened the door for her girlfriend. It definitely had a nice ring to it. They walked hand-in-hand up to the front door and rang the doorbell.

°•BK•°

After Shego dropped Kim off back at home, Kim decided to call her own mother. The lunch had been great. She could definitely see where Shego got some of her personality from and especially her looks. They could have been mistaken for sisters.

Valerie casually embarrassed Shego and Kim loved every minute of it. Watching Shego squirm under the presence of her mother was a sight to see. The food was amazing and Kim found Valarie very easy to talk to. She also mentioned how she appreciated Kim taming her 'Firefly'. Shego of course threatened Kim not to ever call her that in her life, but the redhead made sure to pocket the name for later use.

"Hello?"

"Hey, mom. How are you?"

"Oh, Kimmie! It's so nice to hear from you. I'm doing alright. You brothers are giving your father and I a headache, but other than the usual, I'm fine. How are you, honey?"

Kim flopped on her bed, knowing she'd pace around her apartment if she didn't sit her butt down. "I'm great, mom. Fantastic, even."

"Oh? What's got you in such a good mood? I think I need to steal some of it for myself," Ann chuckled.

"I've been thinking about how to tell you this. But, mom… I really like Shego. After she saved me from the bird statue, I couldn't help but see her differently. And it's not just that, every moment I've had with her before the incident brings me good memories. And every moment we've had after are… almost electrifying. I've never felt like this before and it almost scares me." Kim started to feel her emotions getting to her.

"Oh, Kimmie. It sounds like Shego is making you very happy. It's okay to be afraid of new feelings. If you really like her, you shouldn't let fear get in the way. Your family will support you one hundred percent. I'll have to ease this on your dad, but I think he'll honestly be relieved you aren't messing with boys."

Kim chucked at the thought of her crazy father. He didn't always make sense, but he was so loving and understanding. "Thanks, mom. She asked me to be her girlfriend before we had lunch with her mom today. The lunch date was great. I actually think you'd love her mom. Valerie reminds me of you a little bit."

"Well I look forward to the day we meet her." There was a loud crash in the background and James could be heard yelling at the twins. "Honey, I'll have to let you go, but I'll talk to you soon. Your birthday is coming up. See if you can get Shego and her mother to come to the party?"

With everything going on, Kim almost forgot about her birthday party. Her mother had been planning the party for about a month now while Mo planned the night out. Kim didn't see a huge deal about turning 21, but she couldn't say no to either of them. They were more excited than she was. "I'll see what I can do, mom. Love you, bye."

Kim got up from her bed and looked at the calendar on her wall. Her finger moved down two weeks from now. Saturday was circled and decorated. Her mind suddenly drifted to her last party. Ron had planned most of that one. Her best friend would miss her 21st birthday this year. She still hadn't heard from him since his departure to Japan.

I hope he's doing well. I sort of miss him... Oh, God. Kim stepped away from the calendar. I have to tell him that I've moved on. She had already planned on ending everything officially, but she had never anticipated getting into another relationship over the summer. Especially not with Shego. Ron didn't even know Shego was back. Ron didn't even like Shego as far as she was concerned. She never gave him a reason to.

This is so the drama.

°•BK•°

A week and a half passed and Kim was living her best life. She hung out with Mo, went on more missions, and had plenty of dates with Shego. They made sure to keep work professional. Well as professional as they could. But everything was going great. Everyone was up to date with her relationship with Shego. Even Betty was up to speed. Not like she didn't see it coming, but she pretended to be surprised.

It was the one day that Kim wanted to have some alone time. Things got interesting.

The redhead was walking through Go City in the middle of the afternoon. She couldn't decide on what to eat for lunch. Earlier, she did some shopping and dropped off her bags at home. Kim had worked up quite the appetite.

Because she was being very indecisive, she wanted to do what she promised not to do. She got out her phone and started texting Big Ego. Hopefully she could suggest some place to eat. Yes, Shego's name did not change in her phone, but Kim figured she could add some cute emojis around it soon. Before she could send out the text, Kim felt hands cover her eyes from behind. It wasn't the familiar feminine fingers she was used to.

"Guess which bomb diggity guy came home early for the pretty redhead's birthday?"

Kim spun around. "Ron!" The two embraced and laughed. "What are you doing home so early? You're not supposed to be back for a least a few weeks."

"Uh, KP? Did you not just hear what I said. I couldn't miss your birthday. And plus, I finished my training early. Sensei said he sensed a lot of growth in me and that I was ready to leave," Ron said.

"I'll say." Kim took in the sight of her best friend. He had put on a few extra pounds and built some muscle. It was nothing too drastic or anything, but it was definitely noticeable with his tight, black tank top. Ron had always been a skinny, lanky guy. He also had a new hairstyle. It was little longer at the top, but it's usual length around the sides. Way neater than usual.

Ron could feel Kim checking him out and he smiled brightly. "Yeah, I guess I look a little different than when I left in the beginning of the summer. I've been working really hard. You like?"

Kim gave him a genuine smile and started walking. "I see hard work pays off. I like the haircut too."

"Thanks, KP. What are you doing out here by yourself?" Ron asked while walking with her.

Kim stopped walking for a second. What was she doing? Then it was obvious. The two glanced down at her growling stomach and the redhead blushed a little.

Rufus popped up from Ron's pocket. "Food!"

Kim bent over and petted the hairless rodent. "Hi, buddy. I missed you too." She stood up straight and stretched. "Yeah, I'm really hungry. I can't decide on anything to eat right now."

Ron looked around the area. "Isn't there a Chinese place close by?"

Kim tried not to look surprised by the fact that Ron didn't suggest Bueno Nacho. She turned and pointed behind them. "Yes, actually. It's a few blocks that way."

"Let's go, then! My treat." Ron started jogging in the direction she pointed in.

Kim jogged up besides him. "I've been running a lot this summer. Let's see if you can beat me to the restaurant."

Ron chuckled. "Oh, ho, ho. Me thinks the lady is challenging the Ron Man. You're on, KP. Ready…"

"Set…"

"Go!" They both shouted and sprinted down the block. Head to head, they were evenly matched in speed. They dodged and jumped around passengers walking on the sidewalk. Most made way for the laughing duo.

Kim started getting ahead a few feet, but they started to approach an intersection. The crosswalk light signaled it safe to cross, so the two didn't slow down. As they got closer, another figure on a jog of their own, came from around the corner and collided right into the redhead. They fell right on top of Kim on the descent to the hard pavement.

"Jesus Christ," the figure said, rubbing their head.

"Shego!?" Kim asked while opening her eyes.

"Wow, I didn't expect a cute redhead to fall into my lap today. Well actually, I'm kind of on top at the moment, but you catch my drift," Shego purred.

Kim, who had quickly forgotten everything that was previously going on, was distracted by the long haired beauty that was clad in a sports bra, leggings, and plenty of perspiration. But, the removal of the woman was what brought her back to reality.

"Hey! Get off of her!" Ron shouted as he yanked the older woman off of Kim. Startled by the sight of a suddenly very pissed off Shego, Ron acted quickly and kicked her in the stomach.

Shego doubled over and clutched her stomach in pain. Kim quickly got up, knowing what was about to happen.

The green-skinned woman growled and ignited her plasma in anger. "What… the fuck?" She was really about to kill the poor bastard.

Kim grabbed Shego by her arms and held her back. The plasma immediately cut off due to Kim's close proximity. "Shego…"

A very confused Ron stood a few feet away. He noticed Kim nearly grabbed Shego's glowing hands. Why is Kim holding her back? Did she know she wouldn't get burned? Why aren't they fighting?

Kim kept her eyes on Shego, trying to make eye contact with her. Eventually the older woman looked at her and calmed down. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. That bastard kicks harder than I remember." Shego took quick note of Ron's new appearance. Well look at that. Ron got a minor upgrade.

"Kim, what's going on?" The blond boy asked.

"Ron." Kim sighed. "Shego's not a bad guy anymore. She's pardoned and working with GJ. You can't go around kicking people."

Ron looked baffled. "B-But it looked like she was going to attack you or something. I saw the predatory look in her eyes!"

"Yikes." Was all Shego could say as she scratched her head and looked around absently.

Trying not to blush, Kim continued to explain. "No, Ron. We've been hanging out this summer since she returned. She wouldn't attack me. We're… friends."

"Friends!?" Ron and Shego both said.

Kim gave Shego a pleading look and the raven-haired woman sighed. "Yeah, me and Cupcake are cool, Ron." She glanced at the redhead who avoided eye contact. "Real tight," she said through her teeth.

"Oh… I'm sorry, Shego. I reacted without really thinking," Ron said. The blond was still skeptical about the older woman, though. He never trusted her, even when she was on their side. His mind was reeling though. Kim and Shego were friends!? He couldn't wrap his head around just that. He didn't like it one bit. Even Rufus, who was peaking out of his pocket, seemed skeptical.

"So anyway." Kim turned towards Shego. "We were on our way to the Chinese restaurant nearby. Sorry I ran into you. That was weird."

"You don't say," Shego replied.

"I'll catch you later, Shego," Kim said. She watched Ron cautiously walk past the green-skinned woman and towards the restaurant. While he wasn't looking, Kim quickly leaned towards Shego and whispered in her ear. "I'll make it up to you, I promise."

And the redhead was gone. She's making this harder on herself. Ron has to know that she's mine… And soon before I have to hurt him.


A/N: How do you guys feel about the emojis? Can you see them?

Also shout-out to my mans who outed me about Shego's inconsistent heritage. I wrote Cuban and it was Puerto Rican *facepalm*
