Kim had only woken up for a moment while in the ambulance before she passed out again, but she'd woken up, and that was what was most important.

As they neared the hospital the green skinned woman asked the EMTs, "So she'll be alright, right?"

They were still a little unnerved by her, but she seemed to care about the person they were helping, so she couldn't be all bad. The lady EMT was the first to speak up. "Her vitals seem to be strong, so she should pull through."

Once his coworker had taken the lead, the male EMT spoke next, "She may need to rest in the hospital for a day or two, but she should be good as new soon. She seems like a tough girl."

Shego gently stroked Kim's cheek with a soft smile, saying in almost a whisper, "Yeah, she is."

They didn't talk anymore until they arrived at the hospital and Kim was rushed out, Shego hot on their heels. Thankfully the redhead didn't need an OR and was brought to her room after a quick checkup after her arrival.

Shego called Monique as soon as Kim was situated in her new room and told the girl all the details of where her friend was. Mo then passed on the information to Ron who rushed over as soon as he knew what hospital and room.

When the blond arrived Shego was sitting in the chair next to Kim's bed, her hand resting on Kim's.

He saw it, but didn't say a thing as he took a seat on the other side of the bed.

"She should be fine. Out in a few days," the older woman said.

Ron was silent for a moment before saying, "Thanks."

Shego ran her thumb over the back of Kim's hand as she said, "Don't thank me. I'm just a selfish person."

He furrowed his brow. "What?"

"I don't want her to die."

"That's a bad thing?"

She shook her head slowly, "I don't want her to die because then that'd make me feel like shit."

"It wouldn't have been your fault… so why would you feel bad?" He wanted to be scared of Shego, like he usually was, because that made things seem normal, and normal was good, but he didn't feel scared of her, and that had him slightly on edge.

She scratched the back of her head, "I must've fallen pretty low if I feel like telling a buffoon my feelings."

Ron wanted to retort, but something told him he wanted to hear what she had to say next, so he bit his tongue.

"I'm in love with Kim."

He wanted to be shocked. He wanted to freak out. He wanted to be grossed out. For some reason though, he wasn't any of those. He just stared blankly at her.

"Well that's… one hell of a reaction."

He took a deep breath before saying, "I guess it's not that surprising."

"It's not surprising that her arch-enemy is in love with her and that she's a woman?" Shego asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Kim's just the type of person everyone falls for. I mean, I've known a lot of guys that liked her back in high school… the only reason they didn't chase her was because they didn't want to hang around me, thought my weird would rub off on them. I guess it isn't too surprising that you could fall for her."

"And the whole me being a woman doesn't change anything?"

Ron shrugged, "It's the 21st century, that isn't such a taboo thing anymore."

That caused the older woman to laugh. "You're not as bad as I thought, Stoppable."

He smiled slightly at not being called a buffoon. He kind of liked this Shego better. "Glad I don't seem as bad as what everyone believes me to be."

Shego waved that off slightly. "People just don't know what to make of you. You seem like an idiot, but you're an idiot that seems to get shit done. Nobody knows if it's on purpose or on accident, but it works."

"Thanks… I think."

The two fell into a lull of silence as they listened to the sound of Kim's heart monitor. It was beeping in a steady rhythm, allowing them to know she was alive and would get better.

"Kinda strange how the three of us can be in a room and seem so peaceful. No fighting… No arguing," Ron said after a while.

"Well, we'd managed to live in the same beach house for a bit without killing each other, and we managed to stay in the mansion for a night without strangling each other either."

"Yeah… but we still weren't exactly on the best terms after either of those encounters."

"Nobody was in a hospital then either though, so everyone was at least conscious," Shego retorted.

Ron frowned slightly, "Even if Kim was awake… I don't think we'd be fighting now."

Sighing the older woman nodded in agreement. "I guess not. After the scare of almost losing Kim, I don't think I have it in me to verbally fight anyone unless they really pissed me off. I don't think you could do that to me though. You're smarter than Dr. D, and aren't as whiny."

"Shall I daresay you just complemented me again?" he asked with a slight grin.

She waved it off with one hand, "Believe what you will."

He was about to keep going with that topic, but Kim started to shift and wake up.

In that instance Shego released the girl's hand and headed for the door.

Ron looked at her in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"She doesn't need to know I was here. You aren't going to tell her. It's the smartest thing to do. Got it."

He nodded and then turned his attention back to Kim as the older woman disappeared out the door. The redhead's eyes fluttered open and was met by the smiling face of her best friend.

"Hey KP," he grinned.
