Dinner the night before had been really nice and relaxing, which they all needed. They had all gone out to an Italian place nearby that specialized in Tuscan cuisine. Kim had been talked down from just pasta by Shego, working almost double time to get the girl to pass the massive carb loading, as she was gaining size nicely and didn't need to over do it. Kim had been a bit upset over that but had gotten chicken in a buttery herb and mushroom sauce with pasta on the side to soak up the excess sauce. She had grumbled at her wife but Shego and Nana were both able to resist her whining to make her eat healthy. In the end Kimmie of course loved it and even asked for the recipe, so she could force her wife to cook it for her later.
Abby hadn't eaten with the rest of them, insisting that she actually be allowed to do her job for a change. The others grudgingly gave in and allowed it but they made sure that they had gotten her order to go so she could eat at home. Abby thanked them and mentioned how happy she had been that the ladies had let her do her job. Shego only rolled her eyes at this.
But now it was their first full day in sunny Florida and they really had no idea what they were going to do. They knew that they wanted to do something the involved water and sand and Nana seemed to agree with them on that point but it didn't help them come to a conclusion. There were so many possible water and sand adventures they could take part in that it only made things worse rather than better.
Abby grumbled a bit about going out to somewhere so public where she couldn't wear her pistols, as the small of the back double holster would drag her bikini bottoms right off of her, which she was adamant about not having that happen. Shego reminded her that it wasn't like they would be unarmed, since she always had plasma she could throw about and it never ran out of bullets. The brunette simply grumbled about that but had to yield to the green skinned woman's logic. They did agree that she could keep one weapon in her bag, which made her feel better, just a little bit.
Nana's two cents worth was that since they were planning on going to Disney that they should head to Orlando now and spend the day at one of the Disney theme water parks and the next day head over to Epcot. Every one liked the idea except the bodyguard. Abby again grumbled about exposure but Shego mentioned that they would be supplemented this time by the regular copkateers on the payroll of the mouse. This did not make the GJ agent any happier but she again had to yield.
Once they were all packed and ready to go, they all climbed into the SUV and headed off to Orlando for a day of fun in the sun. Abby drove and Nana was in the front seat to keep her company, while the other two were in back. Kim basically napped in the back seat for the majority of the trip, leaning against Shego the whole time. It was a bit lonely not having Kimmie to talk to but just having her love lying next to her was good enough for the green skinned woman. She knew her wife was still sore and exhausted, with bruises still all over her body from her life or death struggle several days ago. Thankfully, the majority of the bruises on her face had faded, so she no longer looked like a red headed raccoon, rather like someone who didn't sleep. It was an improvement though.
Abby picked one of the places at random, choosing some sort of Water Park with a snow theme, which was a bit odd. It looked like it might have some fun things for them to do, according to the map, but mostly the group of them was looking to relax and have a stress free day. That would have been quite possible if Kim had stayed asleep but they weren't quite that lucky. The problem was that the teen got all excited when she saw all the water slides. "Please, please, please, please, please, please Shego! Please?"
"Kim, are they safe for you?" countered Shego, fairly adamant about keeping her idiot wife safe from herself.
"What if I only go on the ones that you approve, as long as there actually are some? Oh…and the shark bay. We have to do that." Nana merely chuckled at this display.
"Then don't pick anything stupid and it will be okay." replied Shego. "Now do we want to put our stuff in the lockers or park it somewhere by the big wave pool?"
Nana chimed in at that point. "I suggest parking it by the wave pool. I will probably do some body boarding there, so I'm likely to stay put for a good part of the day. The Lazy River also looks fun. I may take a couple of laps around the park that way. Then there is the big slide. I might have to do that one as well. It looks fun."
Kimmie pouted. "How come Nana can go on that slide and I can't?"
"Doy, she can do it because Nana isn't recovering from a knife fight, Pumpkin. We'll have fun, I promise. Just stop fighting what is going to happen." Shego was starting to reconsider the water park since Kimmie was acting this way. If the teen didn't calm down really soon she was fully intending on pulling the plug and heading straight for the hotel. The pool would be less grief than this and it would certainly make Abby happier.
Kim had to give that round to Shego, because she was still sore and tired from the fight. The Muffin was also moving around some, so maybe taking it easy would be fine and might lull the child to sleep. She was just so used to the adrenalin rushes of her missions that she really didn't do nothing very well, always rushing off to do god knows what. The rush was fun and kept her doing her mission whenever they had gotten dangerous. The downside was she was a bit addicted to extreme sports now. Shego seemed mollified when Kim conceded the point, knowing full well about her love's addiction. This had to be hard on the red head and she was going to try and be nice.
They headed into the locker room to change into their suits, looking forward to lounging around as much as possible. Shego was one of the first ready, after she pulled on her Black with green trim French cut bikini that only had about three quarters of the back covered, letting a nice bit of her ass show. It was somewhat modest and somewhat racy. She was hoping the Kimmie would like how it looked on her.
Kim was getting on a one piece that had some abdominal support to help hold the baby. It was a Kelly green that worked nicely with her red hair and it brought out the color of her eyes more vividly. It also rode high on her hip, affording as much leg freedom as was possible, since movement was rarely sacrificed for anything in Kim's way of looking at things. She felt a bit frumpy in that and also was sure the she looked huge. Knowing that Shego didn't agree only helped so much with that.
Abby wore a basic black bikini that had full coverage but also went high on her hip as well. She tied a black wrap around herself and was sure she was ready to head out into the world. Nana's flowered one piece was pretty decent for an old person's suit, which no one mentioned aloud for fear of retribution.
One of the first things they did after changing and then admiring how they all looked was stake their claim on one of the seating areas that was close to the wave pool. It seemed to be a good central area to work out of and one of the bonuses was that it did make Abby uncomfortable with how open it was. Abby seemed like the kind of bodyguard who would prefer if her principal stayed somewhere safe, which wasn't a bad trait for a bodyguard but was like a wet blanket occasionally with this group. They fussed around some, getting their lounge chairs arranged and stuff set out.
The sat there for a bit, with Kim putting her hair up in two pigtails that bounced playfully as she moved. Shego found it very distracting and painfully adorable. The green and black bikini that the dark haired woman wore was certainly distracting Kim plenty and the two kept making calf's eyes at each other while they were applying sun screen to each other. Nana finally got up since she couldn't take it anymore and went to get one of the body boards, just to get away from the cute overload going on.
After Nana got the board from the little shack that seemed to be full of such things, the trio sat there watching the senior citizen for a few passes along the artificial surf, smiling broadly. It looked as if the old lady was having a blast and her actions seemed to be freaking out a number of kids who were sure that there was no way an old lady could show them up. The looks of shock and dismay were lovely and when they finally realized that she could do things they couldn't even dream of it was simply magical, at least to Shego.
Kimmie wriggled some on her chair, making it creak annoyingly, wanting to do something as opposed to just sitting there and watching her grandmother have a lot of fun skimming the surface of the water and coming in off the fake surf. She reached over and tugged on her wife's arm, eyes wide to show just how pathetic she really was. "Sheegoo…I wanna do something."
Shego rolled her green eyes at this and looked over at her beloved. Kim's bottom lip was quivering and her eyes were large and watery, it was almost a Puppy Dog Pout, but it held more sadness rather than cute, for which Shego was grateful. "Fine. What?"
"What about the racing slides?" Kim asked hopefully.
"You need to lay belly down, no." ended Shego, making it clear what wasn't acceptable.
"Fine, we'll just drift along in the lazy river for a bit. Happy now?" replied Kim, growing a bit testy with her enforced laziness. She just wanted to have fun and her wife wasn't letting her have any.
"Ecstatic." returned Shego with no inflection, knowing that it would irritate the red head.
Kim pouted.
Shego rolled her eyes at this, wanting to disarm the situation before she used the damn PDP on her again. It was the most horrid weapon in the world. If Drakken had been able to weaponize that he would have taken over the world easy. "Let's do a lap and then we'll hunt down some slides for you. Okay?"
"Spankin!" bounced Kim.
KPKPKPKPKP
Kim had managed to wheedle her way onto more of the slides than Shego had intended for her to ride, which she wasn't proud of. The girl had screamed and smiled and seemed so happy that the ex-thief found it nearly impossible to ignore her and stick to the strict safety rules she had decided upon for this trip. She basically gave up fighting too hard by lunch as Kimmie was just too insistent and cute for her to really argue. Thankfully, the few slides that Shego was adamant about Kimmie didn't fight her over. The pigtails were almost too much for the green skinned woman to deal with and she was worried about going into sugar shock from just being around the teen. Surely that level of cute must be lethal.
They had basically eaten your basic American junk food at the in-park restaurant as Shego had straight out refused Kim's request that they go out on a naco quest. Kim's whining had only gotten Shego to agree to wait until after they were done with the park to get the loaded crispy cheese thing. It was about all she could do to keep the dreaded Puppy Dog Pout from being used on her again. Shego still hadn't come up with anything that would counter that look and until she could the former villain was vulnerable to the move in a way unlike any other. It was the most devious and lethal skill that Kim had access to and Shego had to admit that she was just glad that Kim hadn't ever tried to use it on her before they had gotten together, as she wasn't sure if she would have been able to resist it in the heat of battle. If that had been turned on her while they had been fighting Shego might have just fallen over. It was pathetic.
The two of them were currently sitting in inner tubes again, holding hands and slowly floating around the park on the man made river with the slow but steady current. It was nice and calm, which both women thought was good right about now. They really needed the relaxation after lunch, to let their food settle and everything just drift away.
"Shego?"
"Yes Kimmie?" Shego kept her eyes closed, drifting away. She was getting close to falling asleep so it was taking some effort to talk.
"Did you love me before?" The question was a bit sad which certainly caught the dark haired woman's attention.
Shego opened her eyes and turned her head, to look at her wife in confusion. It seemed as if Kim was talking nonsense again. "Before what, Princess?"
"Before this whole pregnancy thing." Kim bit her lip and looked nervously over into Shego's green eyes. Shego had no clue what was going on in the young woman's mind and was at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed.
"Well, I knew I cared a great deal about you early on or else why would I have let you guys escape those death traps all the time. I didn't want to see you get hurt Pumpkin, so I was purposely clumsy to let you out, or 'forgetting' to take your gear or some other ploy that Drakken couldn't quite see through. Consciously being aware that I loved you however, no, not before, certainly not before that kiss. I did, mind you, but I wasn't aware of it." replied Shego honestly. Hadn't they covered this already? Was the Muffin eating Kimmie's brain?
"I was just wondering." was Kim's soft reply. It gave nothing away which was a bit irritating in this situation.
"Well, what about you Kimmie, did you love me before?" Turning things around was always fun and if Kimmie seemed to have forgotten the fact that they had already talked about this then she would be happy to play along. She had read that kids ate the mother's brains but to see it was something else.
The red head blushed, looking away. "Same thing actually. I can tell I loved you before by looking back at everything now. I had no clue then, no clue at all, except for the fact that I got really upset when I thought you had lied to me. That had really hurt me because I thought you at least cared."
"What is this really about Princess?" asked Shego, sure that this had to be the start of something else. Surely she wasn't just asking to ask?
"I…I was just feeling a little unloved and I needed reassurance. It's stupid." Kim was almost as red as her hair and found gazing at the inner tube interesting.
"What's stupid Princess is to think that I don't love you. You know, I was actually fairly happy being a thief. I liked the excitement and such. I especially liked fighting you, which is what sort of started us off on this path to begin with. But now…now you mean everything to me. I really freaked out when I thought I had lost you." Shego was almost whispering that last part, remnants of that fear rising up to make her shiver in the sudden chill.
"I'm sorry Eme, it's just that I felt down and was hoping that you would cheer me up, like you always do." Kim shyly smiled, a bit embarrassed to be telling the older woman that.
"Cupcake, I have no problem with letting you know how much you mean to me. You changed my life for the better and I can never repay you for that. So I am just going to have to spend the rest on my life making you happy in return. Deal?" Shego smiled over at her wife.
"You know, I never wanted to force you to change, right?" Kim asked sheepishly, almost ashamed of the way that she had changed the green skinned woman's life completely.
"Well, Princess, I had always wondered if you knew what was in the joy buzzer to start with and that this was all just some nefarious plot of yours to get me back to being a hero." teased Shego.
"Oh, absolutely Emerald. I figured that swelling like a balloon with my own little alien would be just the thing that was needed to drag you back from the dark side and into the light." countered Kim, trying not to giggle. They were both sounding pompous at this point.
"What can I say Princess, great cookies over on the dark side." stated Shego, still looking serious, but a few cracks were beginning to show. Her eyes crinkled with a slight smile.
"But I thought you were more partial to cupcakes and muffins?" added Kim, grinning happily, her tone changing to something more teasing.
"Well yeah, but you know I love me some Pumpkin Pie." Shego grinned suggestively, raising an eyebrow.
Kim blushed about everywhere, all but glowing as they passed under one of the misters that cooled the air. She felt so hot she almost wanted to fan her face, which would only amuse her wife more. "I'm never going to hear the end of that, am I?"
"Nope. Besides, Mom keeps teasing me about it." Now Shego was joining in on the blushing. Anne kept zinging her with that time and again, which was making Shego just a bit crazy and was making her respect the neurosurgeon even more.
"I said I was sorry. I didn't think it would come out like that." Kim was almost whining her response. Shego was quite sure about how embarrassed that had made the teen.
"I know Kimmie, I know. It was all purely innocent. It's not your fault that your Mom and Nana have exceptionally dirty minds." explained Shego primly, as she squeezed her wife's hand three times.
"But you were the one who sprayed their drink everywhere?" pointed out Kim, raising an eyebrow.
"Princess, you knew I had a dirty mind already. So that really shouldn't have been a surprise." The green skinned woman smirked at the red head.
"Well, okay, you have a point. But…"
Shego cut her off. "No buts Kimmie, it's okay. I love you past the point of sanity. I love you to distraction. You and the Muffin mean everything to me."
"You and the Muffin mean everything to me as well, Eme. I love you so much Shego that it makes my head spin. You are my everything." Kim's eyes grew tears and Shego had to wonder why her vision was blurring some as well.
That moment was ended when Abby called out to them from the bank. "Hey, guys, the park is closing soon. Let's head back to the rooms and go get something for some dinner."
Kim and Shego looked over at each other and smiled, squeezing each other's hand. Their looks lingered suggestively. Dinner sounded good to them, but the possibility of desert sounded even better.
