Disclaimer: Well, maybe I don't own it, but I do own several books, the DVD, a pair of socks and a sweatshirt. That kind of counts right? No? Oh well, worth a shot
The months passed slowly, with a lot of complaint from Nation, who was wishing that it could have lasted only nine days, and it would be over already. Apparently the baby was well accepted by Denton, the ratings going up by quite a substantial amount. Dentonvale had done several live shows now, with a studio-audience, because people wanted to see her in the flesh. Nearing the end of the seventh month DTV threw her a party. Laura organised her a surprise baby shower. It wasn't hard, Nation was very absent minded lately. Though Laura planned the party Bert was in charge of the guest list, and initiated a competition for two lucky Dentonians to come to the party and meet Nation. Cosmo also had a small say in the guest list, insisting that Sally not come, Nation didn't really get on with the woman. On the day on the party he stole her necklace.
"Mac?" she said, rummaging through her drawers. "Have you seen my necklace, the one that has the Kym-charm on it?"
"Umm, no, I haven't," Cosmo lied. "Maybe you left it in the bathroom?"
"Maybe..." Nation wandered off, and Cosmo knew she wouldn't be back for at least half an hour.
He pulled her necklace out of his pocket and fiddled with it until a bright light enveloped him and he disappeared.
Thankfully it was night on Transsexual (well, more 'night' than it usually is), and everyone was asleep. He appeared in a bedroom. He looked at the bed, there were two sleeping figures on it. He examined them carefully in the dark and picked out which one was Kym. He shook them gently awake.
"Gaye?" he mumbled. "What's up?"
"Kym," Cosmo whispered. "It's Cosmo, I need your help."
"Cosmo?" Kym opened his eyes. "Oh, Cosmo. Yeah, sorry, forgot your name. How's Gen...Nation?"
"Good, she's going to want to see you, can you come back with me?"
"Sure," Kym fiddled with his necklace. "You're going to have to reverse your settings to return, then I'll lock onto your signal."
Cosmo nodded, and was once again enveloped in the bright light.
Moments later he was back in the room he shared with his sister, and a few seconds after that he was joined by Kym.
"So why does Nation want to see me?" Kym asked.
"She pregnant," Cosmo told him with a grin.
"Congratulations Cosmo," Kym grinned too. "That's great news, how many days to go?"
"She's on these pills that slow it down, she has two months left."
"That long?" Kym pulled a face. "Poor Nation, she's never liked waiting."
"I know, she's been almost constantly complaining," Cosmo paused. "The point is that Laura, our human that sticks with us, has planned a party, and I know she would love to have you at the party."
"Sure, I'll come to the party," Kym smiled. "I'd love to come."
"I'm just going to warn you," Cosmo grimaced. "We've told everyone you are the father, because incest is frowned upon quite greatly on this planet. She said that she told you not to worry about it, and that she could do it on her own, but they might not like you."
"That's fine," Kym nodded. "They don't need to like me, I can't say that I like them all that much."
Nation was still wandering around looking for her necklace when Laura came to get her to come to the party.
"Nation!" she shouted, bursting into the Terminal Ward, where Nation was searching around on the benches.
"Laura!" Nation jumped. "What?"
"Sorry," Laura giggled. "I was wondering what you were doing."
"I'm looking for my necklace," Nation replied.
"Have you checked the dressing room?"
Nation groaned, "Urgh, stairs. No, I haven't checked."
"Come on," Laura gestured. "I'll help you up the stairs if you like."
"Thanks Laura," Nation followed the girl to the dressing room.
"Surprise!" everyone yelled as the door opened.
Nation started to laugh really hard. Cosmo rushed over to her.
"Are you okay?" he asked as everyone looked on with concern.
She nodded through her laughter. Once she had calmed down enough the party got started. When her eyes had been wiped from the tears she had created during her laughing she noticed her friend.
"Kym!" she exclaimed running over to him.
It was at this point that everyone else noticed who the man was and started sending death glares at him.
"Hi, how are you?" she asked him.
"Great," he grinned. "Look at you, you look fabulous."
"Thanks Kym," she hugged him.
Bert walked over to him, "Hello Kym," he greeted stiffly.
"Bert, right?" Kym checked. "Weren't you blind?"
Bert nodded, "I got better. Can I talk to you for a moment?"
Kym glanced at Nation, who shrugged, already distracted by a bagel tray that was on the other side of the room. Kym followed Bert to the corner of the room.
"How could you just leave her?" he hissed at him. "She needed you."
"She told me to leave her," Kym replied calmly. "She wanted to do it on her own."
"I don't really think she knows what she wants," Bert told him. "I think that she does need you there for her, and she wants you there."
"Why don't you ask her, Nation is the most brutally honest person I know, she'll tell you the truth."
Bert gave Kym a final glare before walking back over to Nation, who was sitting on the sofa, talking to Kirk.
"Nation?" Bert interrupted.
"I'll go," Kirk left.
"Yes, Bert dear?" Nation smiled at her friend. "Are you playing nice with Kym?"
"That's what I want to talk to you about," Bert said. "Do you think that you need him, during this time?"
"No," Nation shook her head. "Kym has other priorities in his life. Besides, I have Cosmo. He's always been there for me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes," Nation nodded, "Now can you fetch Kym for me, I want to catch up with him a bit."
"Oh, Kym, I wish you didn't have to leave," Nation hugged her friend.
"I'll see you again some time Nation," Kym assured her. "And I can meet this little guy."
He placed a hand gently on he stomach.
"I hope I can meet your little boy one day, he must be at least four by now?"
"He's five, turned five yesterday."
"Ooh," Nation's face dropped. "That means it's been exactly five years since I've been home."
Kym got an idea, "Come back with me, just for a few minutes, you can meet my son, and see Transsexual again."
Nation nodded eagerly, "Oh yes!"
A/N: If you review you can help name the baby :)
