Chapter 29: Choices of the Heart Part Three:
Possible Residence:
Kim and Anne raced upstairs at the sound of the gunshot.
"Ciel, are you alright?"
Kim asked, rushing over to her. Shego stood in shock, a bullet hole in the door right where her head had been just a second before.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine."
After making sure she was really okay, Kim turned her attention to Tai.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Kim's voice dripped with venom.
"Oh come now, don't get your panties in a bunch. Do you really think I'd risk hurting her or our unborn child? That is, if she is pregnant."
"Oh, and slipping me drugs is safe?"
The eyes of the Possible women widened in shock.
"You slipped her drugs?"
Anne asked, her tone sounding a bit angered.
"Yeah, but I created it myself. I made so that it would only affect her."
"How did you manage that?"
"That's a secret."
"Okay then. So what's with the gun?"
"Oh this, it's merely just a scare tactic."
"Well it worked. I'm definitely gonna be sleeping with one eye open tonight."
Shego said, still looking a little shook up.
"Good, now let's go."
"I don't think so."
Kim said, getting in between Tai and Shego, and dropping into a fighting stance. Tai just released a small chuckle.
"Oh please, do you honestly think you prevent me from getting Ciel to leave with me?"
"You better believe I do."
"Ah confident, are we not? Kim tell me something, do you think you can dodge a bullet?"
Before Kim could make any sort of response, Tai pulled the trigger and the gun went off with a loud bang.
"Kim!"
Anne yelled, a look of horror on her face at seeing her daughter be shot at.
"Dammit."
Tai muttered, noticing that he had missed Kim. His eyes then widened in shock when he saw what, or rather who he had hit.
"Oh god, what have I done?"
Hearing what Tai had said pulled Kim from her shocked state. It was then that she realized she was on the ground, and someone was lying on top of her.
"Ow, that hurt. Are you okay Ciel?"
Kim asked, rolling Shego onto her back and sitting up. She received no response.
"Ciel, can you hear me?"
Kim began to get worried, and began to shake Shego while calling out her name. After a few minutes, Shego began to stir and Kim breathed a sigh of relieve.
"Oh thank god."
Kim thought. Shego then let out a small groan and opened her eyes to look at Kim. Seeing a few tears falling from the redhead's eyes, Shego slowly reached her hand up and wiped away the tears.
"There, all better."
Shego said, trying to mask the pain she was in with a smile. However, Kim was able to see right through her. Looking down, Kim saw that she had blood on her. Upon closer inspection she that Shego had a bullet hole in her lower abdomen.
"Oh my god."
Kim gasped, gently touching wound.
"Don't worry Kimmie, it doesn't hurt that bad."
Shego tried her best not to show that she was in pain, but she was failing miserably.
"Ciel, I am so sorry."
Tai said, putting his gun away and walking towards her. At that moment, Kim stood up and faced Tai. Her hands were clenched into fist and her eyes blazed with anger.
"You bastard, how could you?!"
"It was an accident! Besides, she's the one who jumped in front of the bullet!"
"Well that wouldn't have happened, if you hadn't pulled the trigger!"
As Kim and Tai continued to argue back and forth, Anne made her way over to Shego. When she got to her she saw that she was unconscious. Kneeling down next to her, Anne checked Shego's pulse and found it be very faint.
"She's gonna need to get to the hospital asap."
Anne thought. She then turned her attention to Kim, who was still arguing with Tai.
"Kim..."
No response.
"Kim..."
Still nothing.
"Kim!"
Kim jumped about ten feet into the area, and whipped around to face her mom.
"Mom, what the hell?! Don't scare me like that!"
"I'm sorry, but right now I need you to call for help."
Kim was about to ask why, when she looked at Shego and saw that she was unconscious. So quickly going into mission mode, Kim whipped out her phone and dialed 9-1-1.
"Hello 9-1-1, what's your emergency?"
"My fiancée was shot."
"Okay ma'am, I'm gonna ask you a few questions."
"Okay."
"Alright, how old is the victim?"
"Eighteen."
"Where were they shot?"
"In their lower abdomen."
"Are they conscious?"
"No."
"Are they breathing?"
"Yes."
"Okay, we've traced your call and the paramedics are on their way and should be there in about twenty minutes. Is there anything else that you feel I should know?"
"She was drugged. Also, she might be pregnant."
"Okay, I'll let the team that I'm sending out know."
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, take care."
The call then ended and Kim turned her attention to Anne, who was applying pressure to Shego's wound.
"The paramedics will be here in about twenty minutes."
Kim then looked around and noticed that Tai had disappeared. So pulling out her kimmunicator, she called Wade.
"Hey Kim, how may I help you?"
The boy genius asked, ready to help his friend with whatever she needed.
"Tai shot Ciel, and I need you to contact Global Justice to track him down."
"Done. Do you need anything else?"
"No, I'm good."
"Okay, good luck."
"Thanks Wade."
The call then ended and Kim pocketed her kimmunicator; thankful that Wade didn't ask a bunch of questions. Kim then sat down next to Shego and took a hold of her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Kim?"
"Hmm?"
"When you were on the phone with the 9-1-1 dispatcher I noticed that you referred to Ciel as your fiancée."
"Yeah so...?"
"I thought the two of you had broken up."
Kim let out a sigh, and looked up at her mom.
"We did, but after seeing her again I realized that I couldn't bear the thought of living without her."
Anne gave a nod of understanding.
"Well I take it you told her you want to get back together with her."
"I did, but..."
"But what?"
"I don't think she wants to get back together with me."
"What makes you say that?"
"Because I hurt her, and she told me that she doesn't want to risk getting hurt again. Besides, she loves Tai."
"Kim, look at Ciel's hand and tell me what you see."
Kim looked at her mom like she was crazy, but did as she asked.
"She's wearing the engagement ring I gave her."
"Exactly. Kim that ring is a symbol of your love for her, and she knows that. If it were really over between you two she would've taken it off by now."
Kim sat there for a moment and pondered over her mom's words. She was about to say something when there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it."
Kim said, standing up and heading downstairs. When she got to the door, she opened it to reveal a team of paramedics with a stretcher.
"Hello, my name is Chester Hatchfield. I'm a paramedic down at Middleton General. Are you the one that called about a shooting victim?"
"Yeah, I'm Kim Possible, the victim was my fiancée Ciel Go."
"I thought you looked familiar. You're Anne's daughter, correct?"
Kim nodded her head.
"Alright, well Kim would you mind taking my colleagues and I to the patient? Not that our little chat hasn't been nice, but there is a life at stake, possibly two."
"Right, follow me."
Kim then led Hatchfield and his team upstairs to Shego. Once they had made it into Shego's room, Hatchfield's team prepped Shego to go to the hospital while he asked Kim a few questions.
"So Kim, I was informed that there's a possibility that Ciel might be pregnant. How is it that she became pregnant?"
"She had sex with a guy."
"Okay, and how long ago was that?"
"Um...I believe it was about five days ago."
"Okay, and has she had a pregnancy test?"
"No."
"Alright, well we'll give her an ultrasound when we get to the hospital."
With that said, Hatchfield and his team loaded Shego into the ambulance and took her to the hospital. Anne and Kim got into Anne's car, and followed behind.
Middleton General:
Kim and Anne were in the waiting room of Middleton General. Shego had been in surgery for about an hour and Kim was starting to get antsy.
"Ciel for the love of god, please be okay."
Kim thought, filled with worry. It seemed like whenever Kim and Shego were really happy, something would come along and botch it all up. Noticing how worried her daughter looked, Anne walked over to her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"She'll be okay."
"I know she will. But it seems like she's been to the hospital a lot in just a short amount of time."
Anne gave a nod of understanding. It was true, Shego certainly had taken her fair share of trips to the hospital. However, this time was different. This time there was the possibility of two lives being at stake, instead of just one.
"Kim how do you feel about the idea of Ciel being pregnant?"
"Well I'm not happy with the way she got pregnant, if she is. But it'll be up to her whether or not she decides to keep the baby."
"Would you be okay with her keeping the baby?"
"Honestly it will be quite an adjustment at first, but I love Ciel and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep her in my life."
Anne smiled at Kim, pleased with her daughters answer.
"She certainly has matured a lot over these past few months."
Anne thought, thinking back to all that Kim and Shego had been through together, and the events leading up to now. Kim and Anne continued to stand in silence for another ten minutes. The silence was eventually broken by Dr. Mitchum entering into the room.
"Kim, Anne, always a pleasure to see both of you."
He gave the two redheads a friendly smile, then got down to business.
"Ciel's surgery went fine, and she's being taken to recovery at the moment."
Kim and Anne both breathed sighs of relief. Shego was going to be just fine.
"Dr. Mitchum, is Ciel...pregnant?"
Kim asked, her voice suddenly sounding meek.
"I don't know the answer to that. An ultrasound was gonna be performed on her when we got here, but we decided to do it after her surgery. However, now we've decided to wait until she wakes up; which we estimate will be in about an hour or two."
Kim gave a nod of understanding. In a way she was thankful that she didn't know if Shego was pregnant or not. In reality, she wasn't sure if she was ready to hear the answer or not.
"How soon can I see her?"
"Let me head back and see if she's settled in, and then I'll come and get you."
Dr. Mitchum then made his way back to Shego's room to see if it would be alright for Kim to see her. A few moments later he returned and ushered for Kim to follow him.
Once they had made it into Shego's room, Kim saw that Shego was lying on the hospital bed, sound asleep.
"We managed to flush out any remaining toxins that she had in her system, as well as dislodge the bullet that was embedded in her. Her condition is stable, and we expect her to wake up soon. When she does, she'll be taken in for an ultrasound. Now, do you have any questions for me?"
Kim shook her head.
"Okay then, I'll just leave the two of you alone for now. I'll be back to check on Ciel in about twenty to twenty-five minutes."
Dr. Mitchum then exited the room, leaving Kim and Shego alone for the time being.
Kim then sat down in a chair next to Shego's bed. Taking Shego's hand in her own, Kim used her thumb to gently stroke Shego's knuckles.
"Is it just me, or have we had enough drama to last a lifetime?"
Kim asked, watching Shego's sleeping form. She didn't expect her to give an answer, but she still hoped for one. She then looked down at Shego's hand, seeming to study her engagement ring.
"I can't believe I was willing to end things between us. Yet despite all the pain I caused you, you still loved me. How did I ever come to deserve someone as special as you?"
"Well for starters, you're cute. Then there's the fact that I just plain love you, and nothing that you do or say will make me stop."
Kim's head snapped up and she looked into Shego's emerald green eyes. Seeing a warmth and love shining in them, she couldn't help but smile.
"I'm so glad you're okay."
"Me too, Kimmie. And I have something to ask you."
"What?"
"Will you let me be your fiancée again?"
Kim looked into Shego's eyes and saw in them a mixture of anxiety and hope. After a few moments of agonizing suspense, Kim finally spoke.
"Of course I will."
Kim then gave Shego a gentle hug. Shego returned the hug, burying her face into Kim's red locks, inhaling her scent. As she inhaled Kim's sent, Shego felt a shiver run down her spine and she released a soft moan.
"Huh, I had no idea that just my scent alone could turn her on."
Kim thought. Suddenly, Kim got an idea and a mischievous grin graced her features. Placing her hand on Shego's ankle, she ran her hand up Shego's leg and gently caressed her inner thigh. Another shiver went down Shego's spine and she released another moan, this time a bit louder.
"K-Kimmie..."
Shego sounded breathless, and she felt a need growing in between her legs. Moving her hand further north, Kim could feel a heat emanating from Shego's center. However, before she could explore any further, the door opened and Dr. Mitchum walked in. The sound of the door opening startled Kim and she jumped back into her seat.
When Dr. Mitchum saw their flushed cheeks he immediately knew that something was up.
"What's up with you two, why are you breathing so hard?"
"Uh...we were watching Cops."
Dr. Mitchum took a look at the TV and then at Kim.
"But the TV's not on."
"It's not? Well then, no wonder the buildup of suspense felt way too long."
Dr. Mitchum looked at Kim with a raised eyebrow, but decided to change the subject. After all, there were more important matters to attend to.
"Ciel are you ready for your ultrasound?"
Dr. Mitchum asked, setting up the machine.
"Not really."
Shego said, sounding very nervous.
"Don't worry, it'll all be over before you know it."
"I'm not worried about the ultrasound itself per say, I'm more so worried about what the results are gonna be."
Seeing her fiancée's fear, Kim gave Shego another hug and whispered softly to her.
"It's going to be okay. Just remember I'm here for you no matter what."
Pulling back slightly, Kim looked into Shego's eyes and gave her a loving smile.
"I love you Ciel."
"I love you too."
Their lips then met in a brief kiss. Although the kiss was short, it was filled with love.
"Ready?"
Dr. Mitchum asked. He had just finished setting up the ultrasound machine, but did not want to disrupt the couple's happy moment.
Shego gave a slight nod, and Kim sat back down. Taking hold of Shego's hand once more, she gave it a gentle squeeze, silently letting Shego know that she was there.
Seeing that his patient was ready, Dr. Mitchum lifted up Shego's hospital gown and placed a gel onto her stomach. When the cool gel hit her warm skin she shuddered slightly. Dr. Mitchum then ran the transducer along Shego's stomach, and stared at the screen in front of him. As he continued to look at the screen, Kim noticed that Shego was staring at the wall. Kim could tell by her expression that she really didn't want to see what was on the screen. Kim took a look at the screen, but couldn't decipher any of it. Another few minutes had passed before Dr. Mitchum finally spoke.
"Well Ciel, it would appear that you..."
