Chapter 10 Ending It

-Possible Residence-

Kim woke up with a yawn. Opening her eyes, all she saw was darkness. Startled for a second, she tried to scoot back, but found her arm stuck. Lifting her head, she saw Shego lying in front of her. Kim's arm was wrapped around the other woman's waist, and Shego's hand was over her own. Stealthily, Kim slipped her hand out of the green one and sat up in bed. Swinging her legs over the side, Kim got out of bed.

"Mmm?" Shego started to wake up.

"Morning, you." Kim said with a smile. "Sleep well?"

"Yes." Shego said quietly, looking at Kim with gratitude in her eyes. "I… I started to have the nightmare… but then it just went away."

Kim gave Shego a tender smile.

"Come on," Kim said, holding out her hand, "let's go get some breakfast."

Shego smiled and took Kim's hand. The two of them walked to the kitchen, hand in hand.

"Good morning girls!" Mrs. Possible said cheerfully. "I made pancakes today. Plain or chocolate chip?"

"Chocolate chip." Kim and Shego said simultaneously, making Mrs. Possible look at them and laugh.

"Great, now we have two chocolate fiends in the house." Mrs. Possible flipped a pancake.

Mr. Possible walked in and sat at the table, picking up the newspaper, smiling in greeting. He raised his eyebrow at Kim holding Shego's hand, but shrugged and thought nothing of it. Seeing this, Kim blushed and slipped her hand out of Shego's, realizing it was a bit risky to show that kind of affection in front of her parents. Soon Jim and Tim came running down the stairs.

"Pancakes!" They said, bursting into the kitchen.

"Here you go." Their mother said, setting down two plates in front of them. "I'm making the chocolate chip ones next, girls."

After the twins had finished their breakfast, Mr. Possible grabbed his things and headed outside to drive them to school and go to work. Soon Mrs. Possible was sitting at the table, and their were pancakes in front of all three of them.

"Dig in." She smiled.

Shego couldn't remember the last time she had had pancakes, but these were good. At this point, things started to look like they would work out. She hadn't had the nightmare, she could control her plasma just the tiniest bit more (even if the practice had been done in a bout of anger), and today was Friday. Now they'd be able to start making plans to get those gloves. Shego let a small smile slip onto her face as she continued to eat her breakfast.

Suddenly, Shego stopped moving. She felt her conscious mind start to slip back, to make room for a memory. Oh God, why now? Just when I thought things were going to get better. The fork slipped from Shego's hand. As the images appeared in front of her, she mentally clenched her hands into fists and screamed in anger. This was just perject. I didn't have the dream so now it takes over my fucking body? GOD. At least the worst is over. Shego's eyes watched as an imaginary man left her imaginary room on what her brain thought was her ninth birthday.

"Shego?" Kim asked, realizing the green woman had stopped eating.

Shego looked at Kim confused.

"I'm not-" she started, but gasped as pain ripped through her.

Imaginary pain or not, it still hurt like hell. She could feel every bruise in her body, and her center felt like it had been ripped apart by a savage animal. Well, a savage four legged animal. It even hurt to breath. Whimpering, she held her stomach.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Possible asked, standing from her chair.

"She's, um, reliving a memory." Kim said awkwardly, which earned her a confused look from her mother. "You see, Drakken's ray also made it so that Shego's memories can actually replay themselves. So it's like whatever she's remembering is actually happening."

Nodding, Kim's mom, crouched by Shego's chair.

"She responds to Shay." Kim said, seeing that her mom was about to talk to her.

Nodding again, Mrs. Possible tried to figure out what was wrong.

"Shay, what's wrong? Do you have a stomach ache?" she asked soothingly.

Shego bit her lip and nodded.

"Well, I'm a doctor, so I can help you. Where does it hurt?" Mrs. Possible asked gently.

"Everywhere." Shego let out with a sob.

Shego ignored the people trying to help her and looked down at her legs. Eyes widening, she gasped and looked away, breathing hard and crying. Her eyes locked on Kim's mom.

"Please, please help! I'm-" Shego gulped. "I'm bleeding. It hurts so bad, I don't wanna die…"

Scared cries wracked Shego's body. God this is so fucking PATHETIC! Kim! Get your mom to leave before I say something I shouldn't! Shego mentally pleaded, without a response from Kim.

"Where, honey? Where are you bleeding?" Mrs. Possible asked concerned.

Shego paused nervously, before haltingly pointing between her legs. Mrs. Possible's eyebrows furrowed in worry.

"What happened?" She asked gently.

Shego bit her lip before responding.

"He-"

"Mom, I think we should just wait for Shego to come back. I don't think this is a good idea." Kim persuaded, trying to lead her mother from the room.

Sweet Jesus! Finally! Thank you Kim. Kim was met with a stern look. Her mother figured that Kim knew something that she didn't, and she really wanted to know what was going on around here. Keeping her position, Mrs. Possible looked back at Shego, waiting for an answer.

"He held me down and… did something… down there…" Shego's eyes glistened with tears. "I asked him to stop, but he wouldn't! I told him no! I told him no-oooOOOO!!!!"

Half way through saying no, Shego regained control and screamed. She looked from Kim to her mom and back again, frantically, before running up the stairs and slamming the door to her room.

Mrs. Possible sat quietly for a moment, before looking at her daughter for answers. Kim sighed, not being able to keep this back from her mom.

"Shego… Shego was raped when she was nine." Kim said, looking sadly at her mother.

Mrs. Possible silently gasped and covered her mouth.

"My God, that poor child! Was he ever caught?"

"Um… it was never reported… it was her dad." Kim looked at her hands.

"Her father?" Mrs. Possible asked, horrified. "What about her mother?"

"She died when Shego was four." Kim responded.

"That must be the nightmare she keeps having then." Mrs. Possible concluded, sadly.

Kim nodded.

"Is there anything else you'd like to tell me? Wait- that's Shego's business. I probably don't want to know anyway. That must have been horrible… To have the person who is supposed to always protect you betray you like that…" Mrs. Possible sighed and let her head droop. "Well, you better head off to school if you don't want to be late. I can handle things from here."

Kim nodded and paused to look up the stairs before heading out the door. Mrs. Possible decided to go talk to Shego. Walking up the stairs, she almost changed her mind, but told herself that she had to settle things. There wasn't a response when she knocked on the door, so she slowly opened the door and stepped inside. Shego was sitting on the bed, hunched over, facing away from the door.

"Shego?" Mrs. Possible asked softly.

"How much did she tell you?" Shego asked quietly.

"Just enough. I don't have the right to know everything." Mrs. Possible said respectfully.

Shego merely nodded, still not looking at her.

"So you know what I was talking about, back in the kitchen." Shego stated.

Mrs. Possible nodded before realizing Shego couldn't see her, and said "Yes."

"And you believe it?" Shego asked, turning to face the other woman.

"What? Of course I do! Why do you ask?" Mrs. Possible replied, surprised.

"… The first person I told… called me a liar." Shego said darkly.

-Middleton High-

"What up, girl!" Monique called, walking up to Kim's locker. "Where were you yesterday?"

"Just had to deal with some stuff with Shego." Kim replied casually. "Is Ron here today?"

"Yup. So, you really think you two are over?"

"… Yeah…" Kim replied, feeling bad.

Even if she was going to break up with Ron, she wasn't ready to tell anyone that she was in love with Shego.

The school day passed incredibly slow, and Kim thanked God when the final bell rang. After getting her things, Kim found Ron and they both walked to her car. In third period she decided that she would give him a ride home, and tell him then.

"Were you sick yesterday?" Ron asked, buckling his seatbelt.

"Um, no, just had to, uh, take care of some stuff." Kim said, buckling her own seatbelt.

"Shego?" Ron asked, earning a nod from Kim. "I swear, she's taking over you life!" he said with a laugh.

Kim didn't laugh. She just drove. The rest of the ride was in silence. Ron was twiddling his thumbs, awkwardly. He could tell something was up. When Kim pulled up to his house, they both just sat there.

"Ron…" Kim started, quietly, "I love you… You're my best friend in the world, and you always will be! But… I just… it's not working."

After a long pause, Ron asked, "Is there someone else?"

"Ron-"

"No! There is, isn't there? I can tell. You never could lie to me, Kim." Ron said, with a sad smile. "Just… tell me who he is."

"Ron…" Kim looked away.

"I won't be mad, I just want to know who it is. Come on, it's not like it's Shego." Ron replied, trying to lift the mood.

Kim looked up into Ron's eyes.

"Wha-? It's Shego? You're dumping me for a girl?" Ron's eyes were full of hurt.

"Ron, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for it to happen! It just… did." Kim reached out to touch him.

"Don't touch me!" Ron said, jerking away. "I'm going inside now."

"Ron, don't!" Kim pleaded, grabbing his arm.

"Let go! Just let me go inside, you- you… dyke." Ron said angrily.

Kim let go of his arm as if it were on fire, and he stormed off into his house. She had never seen him like this. For a minute she just sat there, looking at his front door, hoping he would come back out and say everything was going to be ok. But he didn't, and she finally drove home. Lifelessly, she walked into the house and made her way up to her room. Shego was reading on her bed with the door open, so she saw when Kim walked past. Putting the book down, she jumped off of the bed and ran to greet Kim.

"Hey!" She said, catching up with the redhead, and seeing the distress on her face. "Oh, hey, what's the matter? What happened?"

Shego placed her hands on Kim's shoulders. Kim opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out, and she just stood there, looking like she was going to break down at any moment. Fervently, she glanced over to her room. Shego nodded and led the teen into the cheery room. Once they were both seated on the bed, Shego motioned for Kim to talk.

"I… broke up with Ron today." She said, looking at her hands, folded in her lap.

"Alright, well that's good."

Kim just sat, drowning in her sorrows. Shego decided to try and be more caring, for Kim's sake.

"How did he take it?" She asked softly.

"I thought he was ok at first. You know, sad but still my friend. Then he asked if there was someone else… and after I didn't say anything he kinda just guessed that there was, and he asked who it was." Kim looked gloomily up at Shego.

"…. And did you tell him?" Shego asked, trying not to push Kim too much.

"No… but he just kept asking! And he finally asked if it was you, as a joke, you know? But I just sort of looked at him… and he totally freaked out. I mean, I don't blame him, but he… he was just so angry! I don't think he's going to ever talk to me again." Kim choked back a sob and sullenly wiped a few tears away. "He looked so disgusted, it made me feel horrible."

"There's nothing wrong with being the way you are, Kim." Shego said seriously, and placed a hand on the other girls knee.

Kim finally broke down and started crying. Shego just sat there, feeling useless. She didn't know how to comfort people. In the past, she was always the one to get hurt. She'd just beat the living crap out of the person without being comforted by anyone else. She looked after herself, and she had never wanted to comfort anyone. Everyone had to look out for themselves, that's what Shego thought. No one would be getting her pity.

But now, sitting there, with a crying girl in front of her- and not just any girl; the girl that she loved- she desperately wanted to make the tears stop flowing. She wanted to badly to take all the pain away; to make everything all better. Slowly, she wrapped her arms around Kim's waist and pulled the other girl towards her. Kim looked up, surprised, and let herself slide closer to the green woman. Kim was practically in Shego's lap, and Shego slid her right hand up to cradle the back of Kim's head. Kim closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of Shego's hands on her.

For a moment, Shego just sat there, with Kim in her arms. Then she gently leaned in, and pressed her lips against the other pair. Kim sat unmoving for a minute, in shock, but quickly regained herself and starting kissing back. Soon Kim was lying on the bed with Shego on top of her. Every part of Kim's body tingled in ecstasy, her hands raking through the other woman's hair. After what seemed like an eternity, Shego pulled away, needing to breath.

"I love you." Shego said tenderly. "Anyone would be lucky to know you. He'll come around, Kim. He's thick sometimes, but he's not so stupid that he'd give up being your friend. And if he doesn't rethink his choice, then I'll personally beat some sense into him."

Kim let out a hoarse laugh, and wiped the tears from her face.

"Come on," Kim said, sitting up. "I need to stop wallowing in self pity and start thinking of a plan."

"Plan?" Shego raised an eyebrow.

"For how to get those gloves. I'm going tomorrow, and I swear to you I won't come back without them." Kim smiled.

"I want to come with you." Shego said firmly.

"No, Shego, you can't. You're in no shape to go on a mission. I promise, I can handle it." Kim replied, unwaveringly.

A stare-off ensued. Shego won, but Kim still didn't budge on the subject.

"Fine." Shego growled. "Come on, I'll fill you in on what I know of their security. I know that building from top to bottom, but who knows what changes they've made."

The two sat planning until they were called down to dinner. Eating quickly, they returned to their scheming until they had a plan that satisfied both of them. Without even needing to think about it, both of them slipped into bed, Kim's head tucked under Shego's chin. A smile of content spread across Shego's face as she slipped off to sleep with Kim's hand around her waist. With her angel beside her, it was no surprise that she didn't have the nightmare.
