IM ONNA ROLL TODAY! OKKIE DOKKIE, SO, TAK IS HAVING HER SMEET! SEE, I TOLD YOU IT GETS HAPPIER!

CHAPTER 37

ONE'S REPLACMENT

TAK'S POV:

Tak was panting and sweating heavily by the time Angi got her to the healers. Yes, Angi was the one who took her there. Tenn was Tak's nurse.

"Okay, Tak. It's still a little early, but the smeet is coming today. It may take a few hours though…." Tenn said after listening to her organs with the stethoscope thingy. Tak nodded, too out of breath to say anything. A soothing smell wove its way around Tak's antennae. Zim! She thought joyfully.

Im here…and I always will be. No one else could hear him, but Tak could.

Will the smeet be okay? She asked him silently.

It'll be fine…and the smeets a boy. Came Zim's silent answer.

A boy…what should I name him? she asked him.

Whatever you want….i may be the father, but that doesn't mean im going to help name him. zim answered.

Can I name him Zimmer? She asked.

No. that's the most humiliating name in the universe. Zim seemed to growl, and now, Tak could see his pale outline.

Then what should I name him! tak demanded.

Hey, don't ask me! As you might have noticed, im terrible at names! Zim snapped at her.

Fine. can I name him….Blu? she asked.

I guess, but I don't think it'll have blue eyes…. Zim's shadow shrugged.

Doesn't pink and purple make blue? Tak wondered.

I dunno. Maybe. Zim replied.

Wait, I didn't ask you…are reading my thoughts! Tak was a little shocked.

Well, you are thinking pretty loudly…and I cant speak to the living with sound…I have to think what I say, and whoever im talking to should be able to hear me…Zim replied.

If I spoke out loud, would you be able to understand what im saying? Tak was curious.

Yeah….but it would probably look pretty weird if you were talking to me out loud and other were around….zim cautioned.

Good idea….why did you save me and Angi instead of yourself? Tak had to know.

Because, there's a saying on Earth, 'a strong man stands up for himself. A stronger man stands up for others.' Besides, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I lost either one of you, just so I could save myself. I love you and Angi, and if either one of you two died, I wouldn't be able to survive. Zim answered.

But I don't wanna be without you! Tak protested.

Shush, Tak. I knew what I doing. And I'm ALWAYS going to be with you, even if you fall for some other guy. You have a long life to live, and the smeet will need you. I WILL be with you….i will NEVER leave you. Zim promised.

As the hours passed, Zim stayed by her side, refusing to leave her until the smeet was born safely. And even then he said he would still watch over her. It was finally time. The pain increased as the smeet came closer, and soon, there was a small bundle at the end of Tak's bed. But, Tenn and Angi had left the room to go to the café, figuring the smeet wouldn't be born for another 5 hours. They left 3 hours ago. but wait, the smeet wasn't all the way out. It was stuck.

GET IT OUT! She thought, forgetting Zim could hear her.

Don't yell! Relax. I promised you that you and the smeet would be fine, and darn it, you will! Zim snapped. His disappeared for a few minutes, each passing second leaving Tak in agony. Soon, his soothing sent came back, and Angi and Tenn came rushing in. Tenn, without saying word, began to work on getting the smeet out, while Angi tried to clam Tak.

Relax…im sorry, but I must go now. I wont be able to talk to you for a few days…maybe years….good-bye, my love. His voice faded like mist, and Tak was left without to give birth without him there. But when Tenn got the smeet all the way out, and handed it to Tak, her breath caught in hr throat. The smeet was beutyful. And Zim was wrong; it was a girl, not a boy.

She had blue eyes, and curled antennae, like Tak's. her face was the same shape as Zim's, and he eyes had that same glow his always did. It was like a blue-eyed, girl version of Zim.

The smeet reached up, and pulled on Tak's antennae. Tak winced, and the smeet shrunk back. She's smart, like her father. She can tell that hurt me. Tak smiled.

"What're you gonna name her?" Angi asked.

"I don't know…" Tak couldn't chose between the names Fay, Sara, Cara.

"I think…Cara." She finally said. Once she said the name, the smeet smiled and giggled.

HAPPY! NOW, I WOULD TYPE A REALLY ANNOYING SONG, BUT IM NOT GOING TO BE THAT MEAN…AH, YA KNOW. FORGET IT. IM TYPEING THE SONG! HERE I GO:

Happy, happy, joy, joy

Happy, happy, joy!

AND THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER OF THAT VERY ANNOYING SONG. BUT, AT LEAST IT WAS A HAPPY ENDING TO THIS CHAPTER! BUT I STILL HAVE MORE TO GO, SO DON'T STOP READING!

PLEASE REVIEW!
