Chapter 13: Mothers intuition
Anne Possible always thought herself as a very accepting woman. Having what might as well be her son come over practically sweating in nervousness trying to get her approval for dating a villain was as her daughter would say no big. Well not the tell it was long. The two were so nervous it almost made the other woman laugh. Ron had practically shaken out all the salt on the counter after she had turned around. Her motherly intuition screamed at her to try and help her love sick daughter yet it also screamed that the duo was cute together and reminded her of when her and James first started dating.
What Anne had a hard time accepting is the new add-on to her son that had appeared after she had the couple calm down and they got near each other. A tail came from behind her son and wrapped itself around his girlfriend, shocking Anne to no end. Anne found it hard to accept the help Ron offered even if he was one of the best chefs in the world when his tail tried to help his hands make the waffle batter. Ron was banished from the kitchen even when he made the tail disappear as his mother just thought the tail was invisible. Anne had seen and heard much stranger things so an invisible tail wasn't too far off the spectrum when she saw both her oldest switch bodies before. Never being one to let Mrs. Dr. P cook alone, Ron sent Sheila to help her just in time for Mr. Possible to nearly get a heart attack seeing the villainess making her way to his wife.
Mr. Possible was just about to call to his daughter but paused at seeing what the villainess was wearing. It was something he was used to seeing around his house for the past weekend but on the wrong person. The older man looked at the kid he came to know as his son and figured out what was going on instantly. Ron's head didn't move an inch from the retreating figure even when James caught him on the side of the head lightly with the newspaper.
" Good morning Mr. P".
"Here as usual Ronald we've missed you these past few days. No doubt you've missed my wife cooking but that doesn't seem to be the reason you're drooling on your plate".
"Oh no, I'm thinking about cooking with my wife. I'm thinking...pig in a blanket for breakfast".
"Married already huh. I was just thinking about stuffed waffles myself".
"Making crepes would also be good"
"Personally i'm more of a Danish kinda fellow"
"On the topic of pastry, glazed donuts are a classic".
"I do enjoy my wife's muffins".
" I'm going to enjoy making a cinnamon roll later".
"Graham galette".
" Banana bread".
"Jam biscuits".
" Sticky buns".
"Can't wait to taste the doughnut hole".
"Dutch baby".
" I'm telling mother for shame whose Dutch oven you climb into for that baby. Also cream cheese turnover"
"Haha good on Ronald".
In the kitchen
Sheila was incredibly uncomfortable and was trying her best to not make eye contact with the older woman. After a few more moments the older woman stopped her cooking to look over scaring Sheila.
"For someone so tough you sure are jumpy".
"I'm fighting tough not meeting the parents who have every right to hate me though".
"Well you certainly like to dive into things that doesn't bode well for my questions. How old are you, Shego"?
"I'm twenty-one but…"
"But nothing young lady. I know Ronald… you wouldn't be here if their was any doubts from him. You may think me or James have some power to end your relationship but we don't. We can barely get him to not eat like he's in prison".
"Because of Camp Wannaweep right".
The older woman would have punched the hot burners if it wasn't for the timely interception of her guest. Anne didn't seem to realize that her hand was almost damaged from her actions and that the eggs decorating the walls was dripping behind the stove. Sheila let Anne stand there stunned looking at the younger woman, cleaning up her mess and starting more eggs.
"Shego".
"Yeah"? As Sheila turned around her ex enemies mother drew her into a hug making the villain tense up. Sheila was never the touchy type theirs only one person in her book that could hug her whenever he pleased.
"Didhetellyouaboutit?Didhefreezeup?Didhecry?Washisheartalright?Doeshestillhavenightterrors?Ishecqlmingdownishereadytotalktoatheripistareyougonnahelphim"?
The overly excited mother kept speaking a mile a minute and giving Sheila's ears a roller coaster ride as she struggled to keep up with the older woman and to distance herself. Sheila had nowhere to escape being chest to chest she had to lift the older woman up so her jersey wouldn't be pressed to the oven. It would be too embarrassing to have him grab another one for her because his mom pinned her to the oven.
"He knows that I know all about it. I'm guessing you want to know if he's okay and we'll he wasn't at first. He froze up on me and had me worried but he calmed down and we had a chat about it. He seemed fine and I let him know what happened to the scum that did it to him. He seemed more concerned with what I was going to do more than about himself".
"That's Ronald for you. The boy cares about others far more than himself… but he actually talked to you about it… What were you going to do to Gil"?
Sheila looked at the matriarch and they connected sights. Anne dropped her question and went back to cooking. The mother understood that look it was the same one she had all those years ago. She was never the violent type but it couldn't be helped with her child. The Possibles and the Stoppables used to be just as good friends as the children but it all changed after they had gotten angry that Ron had been rescued since they needed to return from vacation. Anne had practically exploded in anger and screamed til she was hoarse. She had been pregnant at the time with the twins which had been the only thing stopping her from attacking the woman. The friend she had made when their kids met was gone and replacing her was a monster who took advantage of her traumatized child to get him to behave better. Anne found herself telling it all to Sheila who could barely contain her anger. She had thought his trauma had all been from the camp. Sheila wasn't stupid she knew their was something about Ron and his parents but she'd thought it was because they was never around. She'd explored his home when she was admittedly snooping. Besides a picture of the couple with a pregnant belly not a single picture could be found of Ron.
"Me and James both approve of you two… I know he will after I have a talk with him. Kim on the other hand… how long have you been together? Rons the worst liar I've ever met so it can't be that long".
"We just officially got together yesterday. It would have been sooner but we both was busy. Me helping him out with Gill and he was… uhh I well… he was helping me with something very personal I told him. When we was trapped in the ice we both found out the other had nightmares. He wanted to help me out because he finally managed to get some peaceful sleep and vice versa. I hate having favors over my head and was curious what could stop someone's heart and restart it in their sleep so I went snooping. Ron did the sweetest thing anyone's ever done for me in return then acted like it wasn't a big deal he over threw a dictator...FUCK".
Anne turned over with a look that demanded an explanation Sheila wasn't ready to give. Sheila looked away and stared at the wall. The silence and tension could be sliced with a knife and it was Anne who let it go first. Sheila stood there thinking for a second before deciding to tell. Sheila didn't trust Anne to keep it to herself but it was better for it to be known that it wasn't her that told Ron to go commit crimes.
"How exactly did Ron get across the world and back while sneaking into that sickos dungeon? I saw him the night before he supposedly left".
"Well it's not my secret to tell…"
"Shego neither was the whole overthrowing a dictatorship yet I know now and I'd like to see those tapes… I know you want the truth to be out and expose GJ for letting your case and him slide but you shouldn't let all those girls be seen like that. If what he said to you was real and I doubt it wasn't they shouldn't be shown to the world like that. I-I don't want Ron or Wade to see all of that and you shouldn't have to watch yourself. I think I'm going to take a day off work… Me and James to look through everything. James can whip something up to scan the faces".
"You don't…"
"Yes we do, you kids have done enough let us at least be able to keep yall somewhat innocent… horrible change of subject but… you slept with Ronald"?
"Innocent sleeping. I mean we just snuggled".
Anne let out a slight laugh at the villainess as she said "oh yes so innocent so innocent that you desired to sleep together again for days. The oh so innocent desire to 'sleep' with each other".
"Nothing wrong with finding comfort with someone. Your very perverted huh mom. We've been on our best behavior meanwhile someone's been trying to make herself not limp around the kitchen".
"Tsk tsk me and James are happily married. Meanwhile you're sneaking around to a boys house and trying to not show something happened. I've seen you walk away after fighting my daughter and after you and my son I'm not the only one trying to hide something".
"..."
"We're both still virgins. Ron might not have table manners but the guy knows how to eat".
"See, was that so hard? I'm sure you two just didn't dive into things and talked but the whole being wanted thing usually doesn't go well with raising children. I'm sure you know with your brothers in Team Go but I worry everyday that when they go out I'll never see one of them again or that something happens and their forced out of that life. I doubt Ronald would have trouble adapting to anything. Ron's smart but he doesn't know anything about being secretive. He's too trusting. If you two have a child even if it's completely normal you being you would put a target on any child you have".
Sheila took that last part with a grain of salt as she told the woman of the glaring problem with her statement. Ron had a lot of secrets he kept hidden from everyone… except her and that made Sheila feel good. Kind of like her brother… maybe the happy go lucky types got way more behind their head than rainbows and sunshine.
"I-oh my God I'm s-so so s-sorry".
"It's okay, who knows we both know so many people. Maybe someone can help us. I'm sure everyone's waiting by now".
'I wonder if Ron could just make it happen? He'd just teleport them into me'. Sheila put breakfast in front of Ron and leaned down to whisper her thoughts in his ear. Seeing Anne kiss her husband Sheila decided to steal her idea and take it a step further. Instead of kissing him on his forehead she pulled him into a quick kiss that was interrupted by a banshee.
"WHAT THE FUCK"!!
Six different languages came at the redhead soon after making Sheila unable to handle it and snort in amusement. Kim stood there flabbergasted that her archenemy was in her dining room wearing the same outfit she was wearing and kissing her Ron. Kim wasn't thinking and the lazer lipstick went off directly for the green woman's face. If Kim was thinking she'd never fire her laser in the direction of her brothers and Ron, the latter of who went to block the laser. Which wasn't necessary as one finger blocked the laser that normally was hot enough to cut through metal. Sheila didn't let the laser pass over where the twins were blocking the hot beam from coming close to the comic book the three boys was reading.
"KP"!
"Kimmie Cub"!
"Kimberly Ann Possible"!
Kim didn't listen to her family and friends and jumped at her foe dropping the laser lipstick making everyone worried. They was too occupied watching Kim flying at Shego to notice the lipstick disappearing and the laser harming nothing. Sheila was ready to not hold back and take down the teen hero without hurting her but it wasn't needed. Kim jumped and never hit the ground floating in place. Despite her trying to move she was incapable. Sheila being in the know simply sat down next to Ron who had faint traces of blue in his eyes.
"Woah our sis can fly we should get her to do rocket stunts".
"Boys… Kimmie Cub what's going on… Shego, are you doing that to her? I don't care..."
Ron snapped his finger making the rest of the plates slowly float from the kitchen and place themselves on the table. After the plates placed themselves Ron snapped again and his best friend floated down into her seat. Ron didn't need to snap with his powers but it was a good way to grab attention and show his family it was him doing it.
The twins was star struck and had gotten over their fear of Sheila instantly rushing to Ron and flanking him from both sides firing off questions. The twins didn't listen even when both their mother and father told them to go back to eating so Ron had no choice but to male them float, letting the two eat as they floated around like astronauts. The kids having so much fun put a smile on everyone's face except Kim whose eyes hadn't left the couple. Her eyes was staring daggers and she'd been more than happy to attack Shego but she noticed she could only move her arms and when she reached to throw the fork it wouldn't do anything. It would return to her plate even if she dropped it to the side.
'Since when could Ron do any of this? Has Ron always been like this? No can't be...is it that weird beam monkey fist hit him with or some device he's been under? Why's he kissing Shego and looking like he enjoys it? She's a freak...does he think I won't date him because he's different now? That's got to be it...maybe or is it… Ron isn't like that he wouldn't just sleep with Shego right? He was so forward that day and Shego is always using some guy at a resort to fetch her things who knows what she does. That doesn't explain why she's here, why would Ron bring her to our family and why isn't Mom or dad freaked out. Even the twins are used to her now what's going on… Wait I can move again Ron oh my God'.
Ron looked bad; he was only up because Sheila held him up. He had a veins showing from his skin and a nose bleed the green woman was helping him with. Kim, who had been trapped on the other side, instantly jumped over the table and ran off to get the first aid kit from the kitchen. Punching Shegos lights out could wait til after Ron wasn't hurting. Kim made it back in record time, finding her mom taking a look at Ron and her father running to the kitchen past her to get something.
"Ron, are you absolutely sure you just need food"?
"Yeah… still new to the whole powers thing didn't know the limits on how much I need to eat to keep em going".
Kim made it to her best friends side and seeing as she couldn't push the green woman away due to her being stronger or her mother who took up the other side she stood behind him pouting until she had an idea. Grabbing her plate she practically ripped his head away from Sehgos grasp to force feed him. Ron who was out of it downed the plate instantly missing the glares going around. Anne was glaring at her daughter along with Sheila to which Kim returned the glare itching to fight the Ron stealing villainess.
"Shego, you have powers. What would help Ronald the most". The distant shout from the kitchen broke Sheila's side of the glaring match and she got up to go help. As soon as she was out the way Kim took over her spot helping to block Ron's nose. Feeling something below her the younger redhead looked down to see a long monkey tail lying limp on the floor. Kim followed the tail and saw it going to her best friend's backside. Curiosity got the best of her and Kim found herself touching the small of Ron's back.
"Kimberly what do you think you're doing young lady".
It took Kim a few seconds to realize why her mother would call her out and when she did she turned a new shade of red and pulled her hand away as fast as possible much to the delight of her brothers who immediately started teasing her. Ron felt better now that the twins stopped looking like they were on the verge of tears. The twins are too smart for their own good and didn't believe anyone when everyone told them it wasn't their fault.
"I-I wasn't…MOM so not cool. Mom Ron has a tail"!
Anne couldn't help but chuckle to herself seeing her daughter's embarrassment. "Honey just because Ron has a new tail doesn't mean you can grab his old one".
"MOM!! I wasn't… ugh Ron don't look at me like that"!
Kim's embarrassing moments was cut short as James and Sheila returned with arms full of different items rich in carbs and protein. They didn't even get to put the items down before Ron tore into it eating containers. As Ron ate his tail went from limp to active again taking and forcing down anything banana related. Ron didn't need to chew or anything simply being near his mouth seemed to make things break down and be absorbed. This slightly scared Sheila who was thankful he ate before he was eating her. She was going to have to make sure he's well fed before doing anything mouth related in the future. Ron finished everything easily and made everything food wise float to him from the kitchen making a conveyor belt. Ron finished everything quickly devouring a family of six food supplies in under twenty minutes.
Ron was blushing madly as everyone stared at him until a green hand slapped down on his head and rustled his hair. "Aww it's ok big guy you're a growing boy of course you're gonna be eating a lot".
"Stop touching him Shego"!
"I will touch my man as I please princess".
"No innuendos while the twins are around and you two better save it for later. I don't want any calls about Kimberly or Ronald being late for school. Shego since Ronald has to go to school you're going to help us go shopping not shoplifting shopping since I think Ronald didn't miss anything". The look on Mrs. Dr. Possible face gave everyone present the feeling that they had no choice in the matter to which they had none. James immediately started moving knowing his wife the best. He and the twins moved like triplets all moving at the same time. James grabbing his car keys and the twins grabbing their backpacks they all went out the door one by one.
" Well I was going to bring something up, we don't need to travel to school I can just teleport everyone where they need to go".
"Absolutely not young man. I don't care how convenient your powers are, we don't have anything to feed you and I doubt you have enough in your house".
Ron took a deep breath and disappeared, accidentally taking his girlfriend with him thanks to his tails addiction to Sheila's slim waist.
Anne wasn't a happy camper seeing her son use his powers and tapped her foot waiting for them to return. Kims concern for her bestie out weighed her annoyance he took Sheila with him. Kim's mom was always understanding so when she didn't go with the flow and showed her annoyance it was big trouble. The mother daughter duo wouldn't have to wait long before three people appeared in the dining room. The third was none other than Wade, not a robot or on a monitor the actual kid himself. Wade looked freaked out and immediately jumped and hid behind Kim and Anne sitting scared looking like he was gonna cry at Shego.
"Kiiimmm we have a sitch".
" Yeah we do Wade". Ron pulled out the item he made sure to keep on him as a reminder this talk needed to happen soon. Wade and Kim both froze up immediately.
"..."
The silence was broken by Anne as the older woman had calmed and looked at the blinking device. The blue eyed woman connected the dots seeing the engravings and how stony-faced Ron was. Shego didn't have to see Ron's face or to know what he was holding; she could feel he was hurt. Sheila hugged him from behind hard trying to force him to feel better.
" Why'd you two chip me like a fucking dog and never tell me"?
