"You know Shego is going to kill us" the Webster stood there looking at the parts scattered all over the hanger floor.

"So we took apart her hover pod, what's the big deal?" Jim picked up a strange oblong object spinning it in his hand.

"You don't understand this is not 'A' hover pod this is Shego's personal pod, her baby. She built this pod herself" the panic in Wesley's voice reached near hysteria. "I've seen her maim a guy just for leaning on it

Tim coming out from under the tarp covered craft "relax were doing the girls a favor. Besides they have both been in better moods since they got back a month ago." He shakes his head "I do wish we could figure out why our cameras in there room keep shorting out."

"settle down Kim she's only been gone three days and will be back this afternoon" Ann watches her daughter pace with amusement "if you don't calm down your going to work yourself up to being sick again, or have you forgotten this morning's performance?"

Kim rolls her eyes "no I haven't forgotten, I still haven't gotten the last of the taste out of my mouth. I just miss her when she' gone"

The older redhead walks over and wraps her arms around her daughter "Shego is very careful and protective of you, she is never gone long enough to risk your health."

"I know mom but that doesn't keep me from missing her. I think I have finally realized how much I Love her." The young red head sighs and looks out the window again.

"Well it's going to be hours before she gets pack, why don't we go down to the lab and give you a checkup. I haven't gotten a chance to scan you since you got back from your trip. Although I will have to say your improvement is obvious, you have a spring in your step that was missing and you have that healthy glow. Now quit avoiding the lab and let's go" Ann takes her daughter by the hand and leads her to the car.

"You know I hate that thing" Kim grumbles but allows herself to be led down the walk.

"Mom what's the holdup, I feel like I've been in here forever" the younger Possible complains as she gets increasingly fidgety. Time in the scanner continues to grow ever longer "Is there a problem mom"

Dr Possible continues to scrutinize the monitor with ferocious intensity. "What?... oh sorry no nothing wrong that I can see. But there are some unusual readings that I want a coworker to go over as it's not in my specialty." saving the data and draping her lab coat over a chair, "You can get dressed now, I'll be right back" she than takes the data disk and heads for the door, she suddenly stops and turns "oh and if Shego gets back while I'm gone tell her to stick around its her turn next."

"Where could she be its been over an hour since she left. What could be keeping her" it was exactly twenty-seven and a half paces from the north wall to the south one Kim knew this because she had been pacing it in her bare feet since her mom left the room sixty-eight minutes ago(but Who's counting).

At the sound of the door Kim turns expectant, looking for her mom. What she sees instead brings a smile to her face and before the door even has a chance to close she flings herself into the arms of the new comer. "Well good to see you too princess" the dark haired woman smiles, the red head doesn't say a word she just kisses her lover soundly not letting her go for several minutes, reveling in the feeling.

Keeping the embrace but breaking the kiss it takes the girls some time to regain their breath "welcome back Eme" feeling the flow of energy Kim just snuggles closer and accepts the gift. "I love you Eme, next time I'm coming with you. The embrace goes on for what seems like an eternity, yet not nearly long enough.

"Sorry I was gone so long, I didn't know how much property Dr. D had but I think I have it sorted out enough that I can do most of it from home now. Speaking of which I think it's about time to have our own place, I'll show you what we have for choices tonight at home. I also found a site for a base of operations, it's tricked out so that even nerd boy will drool." She smiles at the stunned look on the redheads face.

'Our own place', the words spun around in that cute red head like an over excited hamster wheel. Just then Dr. Possible entered the room with a somewhat bemused look on her face "Shego, good your here I need to get a scan." The tall dark haired beauty just rolled her eyes and began to strip out of her cloths. Kim openly admired the view. Ann was more circumspect but enjoyed the show just as much, when she was done here she would have to go visit James.

An hour later the scan was complete "what was the hold up that usually only taker about fifteen minutes."

Ann turned and looked at the two younger women "there have been some changes in your bodies and i took some extra scans for comparison, I'll discuss it with you when I get home". Shortly after the girls left Ann slips out to visit husband leaving the IUD she had removed, while talking to the OB/GYN about the data earlier, on the desk.

When Ann returned home Kim and Shego were looking at computer images of possible homes giggling. Ann had never imagined Shego giggled. When she came up behind the two girls they were looking at a two bedroom town house in Paris. The girls greeted her without looking up and kept discussing the floor plans. The older Possible looked closely at the tiny layout "it looks awfully small, where are you going to put the nursery?" There was dead silence.

Both girls turned slowly to look at Ann, with deer in the headlight eyes. Kim recovered first. "Why would we need a nursery" her voice wad robotic. Kim glanced quickly at her mate seeing the confusion and fear in her eyes.

Seeing the looks on the girls faces Ann was having second thoughts about her approach but it was too late now. "Because your pregnant... Both of you"

Instantly stark terror shone in Shego's face "No No No No No No No No No No!" She shouted. Then breaking in to tears she cries "no, not again" the sound only a whimper. The dejected looking woman curled up in her chair and just rocks back and forth seeming to cut herself off from the world.

Moving quickly Kim kneeled in front of Shego's chair and wrapped her arms around her lover trying to comfort her pushing away her own worries for later. "Eme it's ok we're going to handle this together" Kim's voice was soft and with the physical contact came the mental link, with all the fear and desperation of one who truly knows loss. Kim found that little spot of hope in the incoming torrent being smothered by the fear and remembered pain. Grabbing hold of that hope she began to feed it with her own. Fueled by a hope for the future, a hope for a family, a hope to be with the ones she loved, Kim kept feeding that little spot of hope keeping it alive.

They stayed that way for what seemed like an eternity, locked in a battle the likes of which neither of them had ever endured, hope vs. fear, anger and despair. At first the emotion was almost too much for the younger woman, the fear and regret threatened to shatter her sanity but once again Kim proved that anything is possible for a Possible. At first just holding on seemed impossible. Then after a time Kim was able to break through the grief finding a frightened teenage girl hiding in the depths of Shego's mind, and knowing this is the young girl that had been traumatized by the violent death of her unborn child. Kim approached her slowly so as not to scare her and then wrapped mental arms around the teen Shego "you know Eme it wasn't that long ago that you led me from a very dark place with your light, will you allow me to return the favor?"

Some unknowable time later the young Shego and came out of her catatonic state "what am I doing here" she looks around finding Kim holding her crying softly. After a moment Shego realized that the tears were for her, that Kim was crying for her. No one had ever done that before, no one had ever cared enough about her to hurt with her. Instantly the image of Shego transformed into the more familiar form and began to hug back. Kim looked up and smiled through her tears "we will face this together. You have things that you didn't last time, a family that cares, a mom that has the best medical care in the world available to her, and a better understanding of your powers."

Shego pulled the younger woman closer "and most important you have given me something to live for"
