Disclaimer: In this chapter Shego will meet her parents, for the first time.
Chapter 12:
Possible Residence:
Today was the day that Shego was going to meet her parents, and she was beyond nervous. She was now sifting through her closet, trying to find something to wear. After trying on about five different outfits, she finally gave a sigh of defeat and flopped down onto her bed.
"How's it going?"
Kim asked, standing in the doorway. Shego looked a bit surprised to see her, having not heard the door open. Kim then walked into the room, shutting the door behind her. She then walked over to Shego, and took a seat next to her on the bed.
"I'm going to take a wild guess, and say that you're having trouble finding something to wear."
"What was your first clue?"
Kim waved her hand, gesturing to the various articles of clothing strewn about the room.
"Maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't go."
"Why, because you can't find anything to wear? Sweetheart, you're just nervous, and that's perfectly okay."
Kim then reached down and handed Shego one of the outfits that was on the ground.
"Here, wear this one."
The outfit was simple dark green skirt that would stop just below Shego's knees, and a purple blouse. Shego took the articles of clothing from Kim, and proceeded to get dressed. Once she had finished dressing, she back down on the bed, and became fidgeting with her skirt.
"What is it?"
"What if they don't like me?"
"Since when have you cared whether or not people like you? Besides, I'm sure they'll love you."
"But what if they don't? What if everything that could go wrong today does? What if they find out about my past and end up hating me for it? What i-"
Kim cut Shego off, by placing her lips firmly onto Shego's. She then pulled back from the kiss, and looked deeply into her fiancée's eyes.
"What if you get hit by a flying ice cream truck? Ciel, you can't let all this worrying you're doing prevent you from doing things. You're worrying about things that may or may not happen."
"But they could happen."
"I realize that. And right now I need you to realize that you're not in this alone. I'm gonna be right there with you, every step of the way. Ciel, you are a very strong woman, but even the strongest people need help sometimes."
Shego tried to protest again, but Kim silenced her with another kiss.
"You need to relax, love. Stressing yourself out over the unknown isn't going to help you any."
"Bu-"
Shego was once again silenced with another kiss, this one lasting longer than the previous two. As the couple continued to kiss, Kim lifted Shego up and laid her gently onto the bed. Kim then laid on top of her, and ran her tongue along Shego's lower lip, asking for entrance. Shego happily obliged, and let out a moan as Kim's tongue slide into her mouth. As they continued to make out, they were unaware that the door was being opened.
"Hey Ciel, do you have a- oh my god!"
Jim yelled, shielding his eyes from the site before him. Kim and Shego quickly jumped apart from each other, and looked at who had interrupted their moment.
"I knew I should've locked the door."
Kim thought. Shego then sat up, and straightened out her outfit. Once she looked presentable, she addressed Jim.
"It's okay, you can open your eyes."
Jim lowered his hands, but continued to stare in wide eyed shock at the couple before him.
"Now, what can I help you with."
"I, uh...I..."
Jim then stopped forming words, yet his mouth continued to open and close.
"I think we broke your brother."
Shego said, glancing back at Kim. She then turned her attention back to Jim, who was now standing there, with his mouth hanging open.
"It's okay, just tell me what you need."
"I...uh...pen! I need pen!"
"You came in here, to ask if I had a pen you could borrow?"
"Yes, need pen!"
"Yep, we broke him. He can no longer speak proper English, and he can't speak without shouting."
Shego thought as she walked over to the desk that was in her room. She then opened one of the drawers, and pulled out a pen. After shutting the drawer, she walked over to Jim and handed him the pen.
"Here you go."
"Me thank you!"
Jim then ran back to his room as fast as he could.
"Well, that certainly was interesting."
Kim said, walking over to Shego.
"I'll say. Do you think he'll be okay?"
"I'm sure he'll be fine."
"Okay."
"Yep, so are you ready to go."
Shego was about to say yes, but she couldn't ignore the feeling that had stirred up in a rather sensitive area.
"Ah actually, can I have a minute alone? There's something I need to take care of."
"You're not gonna try to think of a way to get out of seeing your parents, are you?"
"No, I just need to be alone for a minute, or ten."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I just...uh."
"Ciel, if something is wrong you know you can tell me, right?"
"I know, but this isn't something that people necessarily tell other people about."
"What is it?"
Knowing the sooner she got Kim out of the room, the sooner she could tend to herself. So, she decided to tell Kim why she need some time alone.
"When we were making out earlier, I sort of got this feeling, and now I need to..."
Kim's eyes widened a bit, as it dawned on her what Shego was getting at.
"Oh, of course. I'll just go wait for you downstairs."
Kim then left the room, leaving Shego to care of what she needed to care of.
About ten minutes later, Shego walked downstairs and let Kim know that she was ready to go. Kim then grabbed her keys, and the couple headed out to the sloth.
Once they were both in the sloth, and safely buckled, Kim began the drive to the Go Tower.
Go City:
About two hours later they had pulled up in front of Go Tower, and Shego's nerves had skyrocketed.
"Are you okay?"
Shego didn't say anything, and just rocked back and forth, digging her nails into her knees as she did so. Kim then unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car. After shutting the door, she went around the passenger side and opened Shego's door. Kneeling down next to her, Kim spoke in a calm, soothing voice.
"Ciel, baby I need you to relax for me, okay? Can you do that?"
Shego shook her head, and let out a small cry.
"Are you scared to meet them?"
Shego gave a nod.
"Honey, it's okay if you're scared. But remember, I'm going to be with you, and your brothers will be there too."
Shego still did not speak, and just continued on with her panic attack. Kim then unbuckled Shego's seat belt, and had her lean forward with her head between her knees.
"Just take deep breaths."
Kim said, gently rubbing Shego's back. After a few moments, Shego's breathing became normal and she sat up.
"Thanks."
Shego said, wiping her eyes. Kim kissed her cheek and smiled lovingly at her.
"You're welcome. Are you ready to go inside."
Shego nodded her head, and Kim took her hand, helping her out of the car. Once Shego was out of the car, Kim shut the door and the two walked hand in hand up to the entrance of the Go Tower.
Once they were at the front entrance, Kim rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, the door opened to reveal Hego standing on the other side.
"Hey Kim, Hey sis, come on in."
Hego then stepped aside so that Kim and Shego could enter into the tower. He then gestured for them to follow him into the living room. When they made it into the living room, Kim and Shego saw the rest of Team Go, as well as two unknown figures.
One figure was a woman, with long black hair and ruby red eyes.
"Her eyes look just like how Ciel's looked that one day."
Kim thought. She then turned her attention to the other figure standing in the room. The other figure was a man, with short black hair and emerald green eyes.
"Ciel, these are your parents, Erebus and Hecate."
"It's nice to meet you."
Erebus said. Shego's eyes widened in shock, for she could've sworn she saw fangs. Hecate just smiled at her daughter.
"You certainly are a quiet one. Much like when you were an infant. Well, except for that one time."
Hecate said.
"What happened?"
Kim asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.
"It was a couple of days before she was to be taken to her adoptive family. She was sound asleep, when all of a sudden she woke up, let out a pterodactyl like screech, and then went back to sleep. It was the most bizarre thing we ever experienced. It wasn't until we decided to take a closer look at her, that we discovered the reason for the screeching. Ciel, tell me, is the Ægishjálmr still on your back?"
Shego's jaw dropped.
"How did you know about that?"
"It appeared on your back when you were an infant. However, it was only there for a few seconds before disappearing."
"Yeah, it's still there. Only it's visible."
"Hmm, I see. Well it's a good thing that it is, it'll help you."
"Help me with what?"
"Has anything happened recently, something that you can't explain?"
Shego thought it over for a moment, and then realization hit her like a ton of bricks.
"I'll take your expression as a yes."
Hecate then turned her attention to everyone else that was in the room.
"May I have a few moments alone with my daughter?"
"Sure. Come on guys, we should go make sure everything is alright in the city."
Hego said. He then walked out of the living room with the rest of Team Go following behind.
"I'll be in the kitchen if anyone needs me."
Erebus said, heading out as well. The only one who remained was Kim, who turned her attention to Shego.
"Will you be okay by yourself?"
Shego glanced at her mom, then back at Kim.
"I'm a little scared, but I'll be alright."
"Okay, I'll be in the kitchen as well. Come get me if you need me, okay?"
"Okay."
Kim then gave Shego a kiss, before walking out of the room. Shego then turned her attention to her mom, who was sitting on the couch.
"Have a seat, we have a lot to discuss."
Hecate said, patting the spot next to her. Shego hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the spot offered to her, making sure to keep at least some difference between herself and her mom.
End of chapter 12:
A/N: I decided to change the names of Shego's parents. It will all make sense in the next chapter. So until next time, this is PokémonSoulMaster93 signing out.
