Okaay, so I have finally finished this baby off (YAY!) and is updating as fast as I can to get all the chaps up for you guys...I hve also done a few one-shots tha'll be coming after this one to lighten the mood before I bulldoze over the happiness once more T_T God, I'm horrible, really I am.

Thank you so much for all the support guys. I really do appreciate it. You guys have actually compelled me to write another one, and that is very difficult to do, so thank you guys. YOU ALL ROCK! :3

Um, I must make a note of this now. I must admit, Dib and Tak don't get the crap beaten out of them as much as I'm sure you guys are wanting them to. AND I MUST TELL YOU KNOW! BEFORE I GET BURNT ALIVE!

It is coming. This is only th first part of their adventures together. The next story (which I've decided I'm gonna call "Sun Flowers"...long story, I'll explain later), they'll probably get more of a beating (as will, unfortunately, some of the good characters too) so be patient. It will come...eventually.

Anyway, i'll babble on more at the end of this. Enjoy the next chapter :)

Zim hung upside down as the surgeons cut through his back, trying to figure out the mechanics behind how his PAK worked. He hung on a silver frame, his wrists and ankles tied to each corner, his legs and torso being held up by a few bars that dug into his skin and made his bones ache. This, to the surgeons, was the only way to actually operate on his back while he was pregnant (they also liked the idea that it was hurting him). His eyes were half open, his pale pink eyes looking hopeless.

It has been two weeks now. They had experimented on him, taken skin and blood samples, and they were constantly doing tests on him. The first thing they managed to figure out was how to deactivate his spider legs in his PAK (which nearly killed him for a moment or two). Once his defences were gone, testing and tying him down became a lot easier.

He was seven months pregnant now and was feeling the strain of the experiments. It was like he was back on the Massive all over again – minus Skoodge and Tunica. He just wanted it to end now. Tak had won. Dib had won. It was over.

His body ached. His arms and legs were becoming stiff, the muscles seizing from being hung like that for a good two hours now. The weight of his stomach was causing a lot of pain to his already sliced open back. Because the scientists didn't know what drugs would work on him, they left him awake each time they did operations on him and never gave him any form of painkillers. This led to nights of screaming in agony and days of fainting from throbbing aches all over his weak body.

Three surgeons cut carefully along Zim's back near his PAK. Dib stood to the side, a surgical mask over his face with his normal attire on, watching them carefully. He was surprised Zim was being so quiet today. Screens surrounded everyone, showing what was happening inside of Zim's body and around them, including Zim's face (considering he was upside down). A blanket hung over his legs, covering the short black pants he was given to wear. Other than that, he was left without clothes.

Dib missed seeing his daughter and Tak. He hadn't left the labs in two weeks now, due to the constant testing on Zim and how unpredictable the alien could be during these sessions with him. If he was going to be quiet like this for a while, though, maybe Dib could take a day off and go see his family again, maybe apologize to his sister or something. How he longed to give his little girl a hug and his new wife a big kiss. But he was needed here.

He was surprised Zim hadn't gone into early labour yet. He was glad, though. From what the latest ultrasound showed, the baby was still quite underdeveloped and needed a few more months before coming out of the alien. Zim warned Dib not to cut the smeet out once before when a surgeon came too close to his stomach with a knife. He nearly tore the surgeon's face off, telling them that it would kill both him and the baby. He didn't fully explain why this was so, but Dib didn't want to risk it.

The nurse passed the surgeon a swab as green blood dripped off Zim's back. He hung almost lifelessly, his antennae drooped and his face flushed. He wasn't going to last much longer at this rate. All he could think about was his daughter and his friends. He saw Skoodge smiling at him every once in a while. He saw Tunica doing a simple magic trick for him when he was feeling down. And then, he would see his daughter's warm inviting smile, her voice echoing his name though his antennae. A tear fell from his face, Dib giving Zim a look of curiosity.

Gaz in her brother's car came to a violent halt outside Dib's building. She got out of the car, slamming her door (nearly causing it to come clean off) as she marched over to the guard house, off on her own mission. The guard got out, looking rather annoyed at her, "I'm sorry, Miss, but this is a restricted area…"

She grabbed him by the collar, shoving a gun into his face, hatred and anger consuming her whole face. The guard's body froze in fear as she spoke in the scariest tone he had ever heard a person use, "Fuck off," she said harshly to him, shoving him out of the way. She marched on, the guard falling backwards onto his ass, grabbing his hat as it nearly fell off his head.

She stormed through the narrow hallway, shoving scientists into the wall when they got in her way. She held tightly onto the tape in her hands that shook like earthquakes. Men tried stopping her, others simply watched as she marched, knowing exactly where Dib would be.

Zim flinched as a scalpel travelled too close to his PAK for his liking. The surgeon saw his facial expression on the monitor and looked at the others, "Careful, now. Let's at least try to keep him alive." The surgeons gave a small chuckle, moving the scalpels away and trying another place to cut instead. God, it reminded Zim so much of being on the Massive. He was better off there.

Dib watched as the blades danced along his back, something at the back of his mind telling him that this was wrong. He saw glimpses of his little girl smiling with Zim and having fun with him. He closed his eyes, reassuring himself that he was right in doing this, seeing his soon to be wife that night Zim nearly…raped her.

The doors that led into the operating theatre slammed open, Gaz stomping her way in. Zim's eyes opened wide as he tried looking up, not seeing anything but Gaz's boots. The surgeons gave a yell of surprise as Dib turned, wide eyed, staring at his sister in shock. This soon disappeared as he got angry, "Gaz! What the hell are you doing in here? We're in the middle of an op…"

She cut him off, punching him across the room. He slammed into a tray of bloody equipment. The surgeons scrambled, some heading to help Dib, the others rushing to the phone to call security. Dib looked up at his sister, rocking his jaw back and forth with his fingers. She tossed the tape over to him as he sat up, nurses trying to help him up. He looked at it and at her while she spoke in a dark tone, "I hope you're fucking proud of yourself, you asshole."

He picked it up, turning it around, giving it a strange look, "What the hell is this?" he said, standing.

Gaz was fuming, tears gathering in her eyes again. She looked like she would start shooting Dib where he stood. "That…is a gift your lovely wife left us!" she howled.

Guards burst in, guns in hand, aimed at Gaz. She didn't move, still locked on her brother. Dib picked up his hand, stopping them, "Wait."

They looked at him, confused, but lowered their guns. Dib held up the tape at his sister, "Tak left this. Wh-what is…?"

Gaz, spitting and screaming at him, her hair whipping in and out of her face, finally snapped at him, "She took Hope, you fucking idiot! While you were here, torturing the wrong alien, she fucking took her from us!...She's with her leaders…and they're holding her…for ransom…" she cried, falling to her knees as her tears scattered across her face, "AND IT'S ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT!"

She went down onto her hands, screaming as she cried, choking on her sorrow. Dib looked at her sister in disbelief as his eyes flickered, trying to take in everything she had just told him. They all turned as Zim's arm whipped up into the air, metal grinding and snapping as he freed his right hand from the bondage. The surgeons came up to him, but he clawed them away from him, pulling his other arm free as his legs struggled under the remaining bondages. He pulled himself off of the frame, punching and smashing his way past the surgeons and guards. Someone tried firing at him, but he bolted, tackling them down as a few bullets went through his arm. He smashed the human into the wall, breaking his jaw and nose. He jumped back at the surgeons, punching one into the wall, knocking the other into a hanging monitor. He punched the remaining doctor in the stomach, grabbing his scalpel before throwing him into the two nurses.

Zim ran across to Dib, knocking the human off his feet as he shoved Dib into the wall, a scalpel at his throat. Dib was in too much shock to even struggle against the alien's might. Zim's eyes, though dull and weak, were fiery red with anger. He wanted so badly to cut the human's gigantic head straight off his neck, "Th-they took her," he whispered, his lip quivering. "THEY FUCKING TOOK HER! No matter what we do now, they WILL kill her! They're fucking gonna kill our daughter, you fucking monster," he slammed Dib repeatedly into the wall, screaming in utter fury. Gaz just sat and watched, an anger still sweeping over her pale wet face. Dib began tearing, a look of defeat on his face. Zim's eyes flared as he held the scalpel closer to Dib's neck, "And why? Because you trusted Tak! Because you were so caught up with getting revenge against me, YOU FORGOT ABOUT YOUR OWN FUCKING DAUGHTER!"

Zim was crying now, just like Gaz and Dib, only worse. His face was still scorching in fury, but deep down, his heart was shattering over the loss of his child. Gaz stood, wiping the remaining tears from her eyes, "Zim, killing him won't solve the situation…"

"Goddammit, it'll make me feel a fuck load better, though," Zim tried, still looking furious. He took a step back, dropping the scalpel as blood dripped from his stinging back. His face grimaced in pain, but he refused to scream it out, to fall over and faint, to coat the floor with a layer of puke. He stood, simply holding his arms as he stared at the human in fury.

Dib skidded down the wall, looking shattered. He watched as more guards came in, grabbing hold of Tak and Zim. They struggled and fought, kicking, clawing, biting, pounding. Dib sat there, watching as they were dragged off to holding cells, his body going numb as tears ran down his face.

He sat in his office for an hour, watching the tape over and over again. Watching his love mock and degrade their false relationship. The Tallests laughing in victory. Seeing his daughter chained and electrocuted. He turned the TV off, looking down. He knelt forward, is head spinning, his heart breaking.

How was he any different than the Tallests? He had let his jealousy, his anger, his hatred of Zim, get the best of him and he had chained and tortured the alien like the Tallests did his daughter. Dib looked at the photo of her on his desk, realizing her had made a horrible mistake, a mistake he wasn't even sure he could take back now.

He stood, his knees feeling weak under his weight, as he walked out of his office. He stumbled down the hallway awkwardly, thoughts running marathons in his mind as he headed down to the cell block.

Gaz sat in the opposite cell, quiet as ever as she sat on the floor, her knees to her chest. Zim sat quietly in his cell, his back against the wall as he legs spread out in front of him. He had a blank expression on his face. He was given a hospital gown which barely fit over his stomach and his back had been bandaged up. He was then left in the cell by himself and in pain; being asked no further questions. They were both silent, each of them deep in thought. Gaz was thinking about how she would never see her niece again and how she wanted to kill Dib right now. Zim was thinking about how he would get himself onto the ship to give himself up and was trying to figure out how he could do this without the smeet that was currently inside him.

They both looked up, only their eyes moving, as footsteps echoed through the hallway. Dib stopped, directly in front of both their cells, his head low, hugging his arms. Silence consumed the quiet prison block once more.

Zim closed his tired weak eyes, speaking in a strained voice, "Dib-human."

Dib looked over at the alien, as did Gaz. "We can get Hope back. But for this to work, I need your help."

Gaz's legs dropped as her hands touched the ground, "You have a plan?"

"If you can get this smeet out of me now…"

"No, we are not handing you over to them, Zim…" Gaz tried, not allowing the invader to finish his sentence, but he pushed through, "Gaz, if you want to see Hope again, this might be our only choice!"

"The smeet is still underdeveloped, Zim," Dib shook his head.

"That's why I need your help. Your scientists can help keep it alive…"

"It won't work, Zim…"

"It has to work!" Zim suddenly yelled, his eyes shooting open. Dib and Gaz looked at him as he continued, sorrow hitting his voice, "It has to work. If this is the only way to save my children…"
Dib walked up to the cell door, keeping a bit of distance between him and Zim, as he bent down, "Zim, I want Hope back, safe and sound as much as you do. Look me in the eye and tell me you see disbelief in them."

Zim looked away. Dib continued, "I refuse to induce labour in order for this to work. It not fair to Hope to see her father handed over to his leaders to be tortured. Not only that, you said it yourself. They'll never let her go, even if we do hand you over to them," he paused, looking down, "No. We need to find another way."

Zim looked at Dib. Gaz slowly rose behind them, straightening her jacket. Dib turned to face her, standing as well, "Well then. If we're gonna do this, Dib, Zim and I need something from you as well."

Dib stood straighter, listening to his sister as she continued, "You need to trust us. Both of us. You can't keep us locked up here any longer, and you cannot keep experimenting on Zim," she insisted, giving him a look.

Zim mumbled from below them, "She makes a good point on that last one."

Dib sighed. He went up to each cell, typed in the passcode and the doors opened. Gaz stepped out, but Zim remained on the floor, still sitting. Gaz walked up to her brother and stared at him for a moment…before slapping him across the face. He grabbed his cheek and looked at her. She then trembled a bit and gave her brother a huge hug, nearly knocking him off his feet. He held his sister as they embraced one another. "I'm so sorry, Gaz. I promise, I'll never do this to you or our family again."

"You better not, or I'll skin you alive and hang you by your toenails from five inch hooks," she laughed through tears, enjoying her brother's hug.

They pulled away and gave one another a reassuring smile. They hated one another at times, but they were still brother and sister and would always be there for one another.

Gaz walked over to Zim and knelt down to meet his eyes. She felt awful for how sick he looked. She reached over and hugged him. He remained still, closing his eyes, too weak to fight her off of him. She pulled away and helped him up, Dib joining her as they pulled him up by his arms. He grunted, his teeth gritting as he stood on his feet, holding his stomach and placing a hand on his back. Gaz kept a hold of him as he took a few breaths, "Zim? What's wrong? Are you…?" Gaz tried. He interrupted, "I-I'm okay. Just weak. God, I'm getting too big for this." Gaz gave him a weak smile as he stood a bit straighter and looked at Dib. He took a breath and punched Dib between the eyes, sending the human backwards. He hit the floor with a loud thud, grunting in agony. Zim shook his hand as he looked at the shivering human, "Don't expect me to hug you, Dib-stink. I'm not sorry for that."

I'm sure everyone was waiting for that one :) Come on, am I right here?

Okeey dokeey, that's all I can get done today. Tomorrow, I shall try and do two chapters (if I have time).

I am starting work on Sun Flowers as we speak. As I said, I will keep you updated as I go along.

I just have two questions to start off with, just to double check with you guys (who better to ask than the readers) :D?

1. Are you guys gonna continue reading these series if I continue? :o

2. Would you be able to handle another Mpreg story or maybe a rape scene (not a very good one seeing as I draw the line somewhere with these things X_X)? I don't know if I'm pushing the boat out too far or what so better check before I continue.

Leave your answers in the reviews or Private Message me what you think and then I shall let you know what is happening :) If we don't want any of these, I do have a backup plan, so...yay :D

See you soon and don't forget those reviews (hope you're still enjoying the story)
