New Beginnings- Chapter 10: Feeling Down and Out.

Rating: M

Pairing: KiGo, Slight Ron bashing, Mo/OC

A/N: So, yeah. Hi again. ^^ it seems that people really actually like my story. It's still a little hard to believe considering my history with my family. So thanks! It puts a smile on my face when I read all the reviews I get; some even make me laugh (In a good way of course). Well, I hope you all enjoy this chapter as much as you've enjoyed the others. If it starts to confuse anyone, let me know and I'll fix it up a bit. Also, just so you know. I'm going to be splitting it up into days, so you can see what Kim and Shego (And maybe even Mo and Rach) are feeling.

I don't own the show. Pointless to sue, don't got money.

Enjoy! ^^

Day 1- Shego

Shego opened her eyes slowly. She felt as if she was floating in a sea, but she couldn't tell. She looked around slowly and noted that everything was black.

'Oh, well, this is just great.' She groaned silently, 'It's a great way to ruin the day. I mean, I finally get to call Kimmie mine, and what happens? I fucking use all my power and pass out. Lovely.'

She looked down at herself and saw that she was standing; the floating feeling must have come from how dizzy she was. It would also explain the headache she was feeling as well. Had she really used that much power? Her head and body told her yes, her pride told her no.

'Yeah, I know. I could have done more.' She berated herself, 'Whatever though. As long as she's safe. I don't care.' She added, a small smile forming on her lips.

Yes, as long as Kim was safe, Shego could care less what happened to her own body.

Kim would kill you if she heard that.

Well, yes, she probably would, but Shego knew it to be the truth. She would walk through the lowest level of hell just to keep the redhead safe. Even if it cost her life to do so.

Day 1- Kim

A yawn tore its way through Kim's throat as she woke up. Her back hurt and she couldn't really feel her arms. It took her a minute, but she finally realized that she had been sleeping sitting up, with her arms resting on the side of Shego's couch. She had refused to go home the night before, and told Rachel that she was going to stay and watch after the super-powered woman.

Kim yawned again and rubbed her eyes, flinching slightly, "Why did I cry again?" She mumbled to herself, standing up and stretching, "Oh, yeah. I was sad that Shego had hurt herself."

She had leaned on Monique for at least an hour, crying her heart out because of what Shego had done for her. She was grateful her friend hadn't made her explain. Then again, maybe Monique had known all along why she had been crying? It would sort of make sense, considering she had whispered soothing into the redhead's ear while rubbing her back gently to get her to relax.

"Leave it to Mo to know what to do." Kim stated softly. She looked down at the green tinted woman lying on the couch, her breathing slow and even. Rachel had come back with a tank and a pair of shorts for Shego and they had carefully put the older woman in them.

Kim reached out and stroked Shego's cheek softly, "Love you." She murmured, walking out of the office to go to the restroom.

When she came back, she sat down with her back to the couch. She didn't really have anything to do, so she would just sit and wait.

Day 2- Shego

Shego was walking around again. She had no real place to go, she was only here till her body healed completely anyway. There was no white or dark light, and she wasn't standing in a tunnel. She had been here one other time, six years prior, when she had gotten the scar on her back. She had hated it then, because she had just wanted to die. Now, well, she hated it because she wanted to see her Kimmie again.

'Damn fucking powers. I miss her.' She thought, a sad frown forming on her lips. She really wanted to feel the redheaded hero in her arms. She had been able to fight the urge for a long time, but now that she knew that Kim was hers, she didn't want to hold back.

Shego sighed softly and sat down. How long had she been here? She could never really tell; the first time had been about a week, would this time be the same? She really hoped not. She didn't want Kim to freak out or anything because she was sleeping for so long.

'Sleep... Mm... That's sounds really nice right about now.' She thought as she yawned. She laid down and closed her eyes.

Day 2- Kim

Kim growled deep in her throat, though the two lovebirds across the room from her didn't hear it. Monique and Rachel had insisted on at least being in the room with her while she waited. She was ok with it at first... Till Rachel had leaned over and started nibbling on Monique's ear, causing said girl to moan softly and pull her girlfriend into her lap.

Now she just wanted the other two gone so she could sit here and pout. Yes, pout. She wanted to be doing the same things to Shego as Rachel was doing to Monique; but she couldn't yet. She had to wait, and that was putting her in a sour mood.

Before she could tell them to get out, a loud banging made them all look at the door. Where Ron stood, grinning brightly.

"So, KP. Ready to get back with me?"

"No." Kim deadpanned, looking back down at the book Monique brought her. She was hoping by ignoring her friend, that he would leave her alone. Her hope was in vain.

Ron looked at the couch and laughed, "Oh, finally! Is she dead?"

A deep growl filled the room, and before Rachel could hit him for his statement, Kim was standing in front of him. If she had been anything but human, her eyes would have been red, and as it was, her lips were formed into a deep snarl. Her right fist connected with Ron's left cheek that sent him to the floor, coughing up blood. Kim stood over her friend and continued to growl. Oh, she was so gonna hurt him for what he had just said.

Two arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her back.

"GF, stop."

Kim was still growling, "Stay the fuck away from her Ron. I swear, I hear one more insult from you aimed at her and you'll be limping for months."

"Girl!" Monique stated, pulling the hero out of the room to calm her down.

Rachel stood next to Ron, shaking her head at the blonde.

"What?" Ron barked, rubbing his cheek.

"You should have learned." Rachel stated, holding out a hand. She helped him up and walked him back out of Shego's office, "You might want to stay away for a while. Oh, and stop asking Kim out."

"Why the hell should I?"

Rachel sighed softly. "You really don't want me to answer that. Just don't. Your luck is wearing thin. Leave."

When Ron left, Monique allowed Kim back into the room. Once in, the redhead went straight back to Shego and sat on the ground in front of the couch. She was a little relaxed now, so she went back to her book.

Day 3- Shego

Shego groaned softly as she woke up. Oh, her head hurt even worse now. She opened her eyes and smiled slightly when she saw that she was in her office. A gasp left her lips when she saw Kim sitting next to her on the floor in, her arms crossed on the cushion with her head resting on her arms.

Her lips curved into a small smile as she watched the redhead for a few minutes. Then she carefully pulled the hero up onto the couch and into her arms. She held her close and buried her face into Kim's hair, sighing softly as she fell back asleep. For the first time in six years, she didn't have a nightmare.

Day 3- Kim

Kim shifted and nuzzled closer to the warmth she felt. She felt arms tighten around her waist and she opened her eyes with a start. It took her a minute, but she realized she was lying on the couch and Shego's arms were wrapped around her tightly, as if she didn't want the other woman to leave.

She smiled and turned around, wrapping her own arms around the super-powered woman and held her close. She nuzzled into Shego's neck and hummed softly before falling back a sleep again.

Oh yeah, she was happy that she hadn't left the older woman's side.

Rachel stood in the middle of her kitchen, making dinner for her and Monique. She had a giant smirk on her lips as she finished and set the table. She had checked up on her friend earlier that day and noted that Kim and Shego had been cuddled close together on the couch. That sight alone was enough to set her mind at ease.

She was happy that Shego finally had someone; she just hoped that nothing came along to destroy that happiness.

"Hey baby."

"Hey love. Ready for dinner?" Rachel asked, turning around to kiss Monique.

"Mm... Please and thank you."

Rachel grinned and they sat down to eat.

Shego purred softly as she came awake again. Breath tickled her neck and made her shiver. She looked down at the redhead and a soft smile formed on her lips.

"Kimmie... Wake up."

"Mm... Don't wanna." Kim whined softly, nuzzling closer.

Shego grinned, "Ok, I'll just have some fun with you then..." She whispered, nibbling on the top of Kim's ear, purring softly. She trailed her nips down the side of Kim's throat and took a small patch of skin into her mouth. She sucked and nipped at it softly, eventually leaving a dark blue and red mark, "Mine." She growled out softly, knowing that Kim was awake and could hear her.

"Shego." Kim moaned softly, tilting her head to the side and giving the ex-villain more room.

Shego pulled back and smiled at the hero, she nuzzled her cheek slightly, "Shannon."

"Hm?"

Shego chuckled, "I want you to call me Shannon."

"Why? I thought you hate your name."

"You said it before." Shego shrugged, pulling the redhead closer, "I like how it sounds when you say it."

Kim nodded and they continued to lie on the couch, holding each other close. At some point, one of Shego's hands moved to run through Kim's hair while the other stroked the hero's back. Kim was purring softly at the feeling as her hands started tracing patterns on Shego's back. They stayed quite for a while, before a question came to the redhead's mind.

"Hey Shannon?"

"Hm?"

"I know I'm late in asking, but why did you where a tux to that party?"

"I usually wear a nice dress. But when I heard that I had to take you with me, I decided to go with a tux instead. I like my dresses and all, but sometimes, I like to show off a different side of me."

Kim nodded, "So you still wear dresses?"

"Every now and then. I'm usually working on my bikes though, so I'm usually wearing jean and a t-shirt." Shego responded, her fingers running along the skin on the back of the hero's neck. She leaned down and tilted Kim's head so they could kiss softly.

"Mm..." Kim pulled back, "So you can be nice too? Oh! And you can cook?"

Shego chuckled, "My mother beat manners into me. I might be mean, sarcastic and snarky a lot of the time, but I do know how to be nice. She also taught me how to cook." She leaned back in and nibbled on Kim's bottom lip gently, "Mine."

Kim was the one to chuckle now, "Yes, all yours. Now, what are we?"

Shego stopped and looked at the redhead, there was a bit of fear reflecting in her eyes as she spoke.

"We are whatever you want us to be."

Kim grinned slightly, "Girlfriends?"

Shego nodded, a small smile forming, "Yes."

"And lovers?"

Shego nodded again.

Kim smiled and kissed her new girlfriend, "No rush, right?"

"No rush. We'll go slow." Shego confirmed, kissing back, "When you're ready."

Kim laughed and nodded, nuzzling back into Shego's neck. They stayed like that for a bit longer then before, they were quiet for a long time. Shego glanced at her computer and saw that her heart rate was back to normal. She sighed silently, one fear down, two fears down; how many more did she have now?

"Ron came by."

Shego growled.

"He saw you asleep and asked if you were finally dead."

"Rachel probably kicked his ass for saying that, huh?"

"Nope." Kim looked up, "I punched him in the jaw."

Shego grinned, "Why Princess. I didn't know you had it in you."

"Oh hush!"

Shego chuckled and pulled the redhead close when she tried to move away. That was three fears down. How many more to go?

"Hey, Shannon."

"Hm?"

"Do you still plan on not taking the um..." Kim furrowed her brows in thought.

"Do I still plan on dying?" Shego said for her.

Kim nodded, a sad frown tugging at her lips.

"I'm not sure. I have about another six months before they get back with the meteor. If we're still together I'm going to take it."

"And if we're not?"

"I'll hope that you remember me." Shego stated.

Kim looked up at the super-powered woman and knew that what she said was the truth. Her heart stopped for a second at the thought of losing the other woman, but she forced herself not to think about Shego being dead. Instead she thought about how she refused to let the other woman go now that she had her. Oh, she would never let the other woman go. She nuzzled into Shego's neck again and kissed her skin; relaxing into the older woman's arms.

"You're taking it."

Shego looked down at the hero in her arms. She had been looking at the ceiling while fighting back her tears. The kiss she had felt on her neck had brought a small smile to her face and she had almost completely relaxed when Kim had spoken.

"Why do you say that Pumpkin?"

"I refuse to let you go."

A soft chuckle filled the room, "You sure you love me that much?"

"I've loved you for a long time, I just never noticed till I read that note how much."

"It took my letter for you to figure it out?"

"Actually, I was heading that way before my birthday, but the letter just helped confirm it. I can't loose you. I refuse to." Kim stated, kissing Shego's neck again, "Deal with it. You're stuck with me."

"Mm... I can't find it in myself to resent that." Shego purred, a happy grin tugging at her lips.

"Good. If I'm yours. Then you're mine."

"Always."

Both smiled happily as they kissed softly.

A/N: Ok, so, here's chapter 10. I'm not really sure if the title suits it or not now that I've read it. But I'm going to leave it anyways. Sorry it took me a few days. I had a bit of writers block and just wanted to relax a little bit. I posted another story up, but it's a Sailor Moon fanfic.

So, yeah...

Um...

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Reviews are welcomed. ^^
