Ch 17

Sorry for the leave of absence, have been trying to transfer colleges after getting a degree, with less than stellar results, so I'll be in an out on the site and will try for at least one chapter per week. No more procrastination on this! Also I'll be skipping some major points, sorry and just meeting new characters cuz you know, fill in those last few months ^^;;

…...

Drakken placed the last picture in the two baby books smirking. In Sasha's was a clipping from a news paper titled 'Booming baby bounds off with big bucks' and beside it a very happy little green child dealing out her money between her and her stuffed animals. In the other was Draco's beaming toothy grin and a few shiny devices he stole while he and Shego were scouting a possible heist; Drakken couldn't be more proud of his children and their first successful thefts.

Closing the books he moved them aside to get to work. Activating the computer, he typed in coordinates as the computer honed in towards a part of the U.S. A list of events appeared on the side back tracking for the next three months. Drakken scanned them, finding very little of interest. He moved on to different coordinates and possible hit marks. "Mnnnh, the pickings are getting smaller and smaller" he silently complained, "There's got to be something that I'm missing". Something caught his eye on the monitor in the list of events, curiosity took hold and he clicked.

There would be an unveiling of an underwater city within a week's time near the heart of the bermuda. The page continued on explaining the possible chance that due to global warming underwater biomes might be the wave of the future. He grinned a little, "Eh, wouldn't hurt to stop by and see what the hub bub is all about. Maybe even take this little city over for myself!" he monologued.

Drakken began to plot the eventual take over of the underwater utopia while Shego was readying to leave from the lair. He leaned back, "And where are you off to?" he questioned. She let out an irritated growl before turning towards him.

"Look I gotta go do adult things, there is just so much tiny tot talk I can stand" she retorted, "I'll see ya in a few hours"

"Tiny to- Well you could of just talked with me if you needed an adult conversation" he reminded

There was a long pause between the two of them. Shego was about to retort when he held his hand up, "Point harshly taken, now off with you." he said, "Go do whatever you need to, I'll be here planning the next heist we'll be doing."

"Alrighty Dr. D, the twins are sleeping and make sure the fire extinguishers are all usable" she continued as she headed off to the hangar, "I'll make sure to bring back something nice"

He turned back to the computer as soon as the hangar doors slammed shut, typing away and setting the pieces in motion.

…...

Rufus tilted his head looking, a tiny, chubby hand wriggled up to him. Rufus moved to the other side of the crib watching.

"Okay buddy, you're relived of munchkin duty" Ron replied as he walked in with a bottle. He sat down next to the crib holding the baby in his hands, "Now this lil Stoppable needs her eats". The little girl eagerly went for the bottle. A pair of bright green eyes looking up at Ron while she ate, fluffed blonde hair sticking up every which way in individual lightning patches. The bottle was almost empty as soon as she got it, "Whoa slow down there, Maggie. No one's gonna steal it, well Rufus should know better at this point" Ron commented looking over at the mole rat who just let out a sheepish squeaky laugh and hopped down from the crib.

Kim walked in setting her cellphone down, "So the parents are going to come over later to see Maggie. Hopefully it won't be too crowded". She bent down kissing the little girl on the forehead. Maggie gurgled between her bottle smiling at her mother. Kim laughed lightly and leaned on the wall. When the bottle was empty Ron set it down then propped the baby up a little, "The newest little crimefighter; Maggie Kimberly Stoppable" he grinned.

Maggie flailed her arms a little. She hiccuped then looked over to Rufus. Kim picked her up out of Ron's arms, "I'll clean her up for when the folks get here".

He nodded getting out of the chair, "Come on bud, we gotta look our best when the folks get here". Ron knelt down so Rufus could climb up. They headed to the bedroom to change.

…...

Kim placed Maggie into the lukewarm water. She added a few bubbles and toys for her. Maggie splashed around, looking amazed when the bubbles stuck to her skin. Kim couldn't help but smile at her daughter. "You are so like Ron" she mentioned as she got the washcloth. She gave her a quick bath then dressed her just as the doorbell rung. She walked over looking through the peephole seeing her parents. Kim unlocked the door, "Mom, dad" she greeted

Her mother came up and hugged her, "Hello sweetie. Oh, is this my granddaughter?" she asked looking at the bundle in her daughter's arms. Kim nodded. Mrs. Possible started tearing up a little, "Oh can I hold her, Kimmy?" she asked, her voice wavering a little. "Mom, of course you can hold her". She gave the baby over to her mother, she could see Mrs. Possible's heart melt.

Mr. Possible walked in behind his wife closing the door, "It'll be a while before you get your child back from her, you know?" he asked. Kim gave him a shrug. "Just wish we were there when she was born" he hinted.

"Dad," Kim groaned, "She just came without warning and a week early at that. Can't prepare for everything"

"I know, I know" he replied, " But your mother had her heart set on meeting her then". He gave his daughter a hug and walked along with her just as the doorbell rung again.

"I'll be right with you, dad" Kim said dodging his arm to answer the door.

…...

Tim was just leaving out of his engineering class, frowning slightly. "Oh come on, how can they tell me not to build things?" he muttered, "Whatever I'm still passing". He hunched over as he walked, he sat in a clearing on the campus then laid back on the grass with a sigh looking up at the sky.

Letta got into his field of vision, "What are you thinking in that brain of yours, partner in crime?"

"Hey, bluebird" he replied sitting up, "When'd you get here?"

She sat next to him, "About ten minutes ago, can't believe you didn't see me. Something's got you all upset"

"It's a stupid thing but I can get over it" he assured her

"Are you sure?" she asked, "You can talk to me"

He shook his head, "Its nothing really. But you know I'm an uncle right?"

She leaned onto him, "Yeah, I know. Carmen can't keep a secret to save her life". He laughed at the comment and leaned on her.

"So... you're gonna see your new niece today?" she asked

"Not today, maybe tomorrow. I'm pretty sure Kim is already swamped with family over there. Might as well play the good little brother and not swamp her when she'll already be so stressed" he countered

"Oh no, you have a heart. I am so speechless" she laughed.

…...

Hana peered over at Maggie and poked her cheek softly. "Whoa no, Hana. You can't poke the baby" he said. Hana nodded and crawled up on the sofa and leaned in close to get a better look. Maggie looked back at her aunt with wide eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable smiled."Aww, look dear. Hana is such a curious one" Mrs. Stoppable cooed. Kim sat with her parents while the Stoppables had their turn meeting Maggie.

"Kim, honey you know if you have any questions about raising a baby you can always talk to us" Mrs. Possible offered. Kim looked at her with a smile.

"I know mom, and I'm glad I can rely on you about these kinds of things" she looked back; Hana was holding, well more sitting next to, Maggie giggling. "It looks like those two might be pretty good friends" she added then realized, "Oh, what if Hana teaches Maggie kung fu? What if she starts trying to be a hero like me? What if-"

" Now you're starting to sound like a parent" Mr. Possible chuckled

…...

"Bye, we should really all get together again sometime" Kim said waving off the last of family. She closed the door sighing. She slowly slid down to the floor, "That was way stressful" she groaned

Ron shrugged as he took the now sleeping baby into her room, "But can you blame them? First grand kid on both sides, they got to see her"

"I guess" she said. A knock came to the door, "Oh now what?" Kim groaned getting up and opening the door. "Oh, Wade, hey." she moved out the way so the robust teen could enter.

"Hey Kim" Wade spoke, "Sorry for coming over so late and congrats on the kid"

"Aww, thank you" she smiled as she closed the door, "And it's no big, you're so welcomed over anytime. How's things been with you anyway? Haven't gotten a real change to talk since the Dimitri incident"

Wade shrugged, "Starting to get out more, it's good for me"

"Good of a reason as any" she said

Ron came out of the room and looked over, "Hey hey Wade, what's up technodude?"

"Yo Ron" he replied, "How's it shaking?"

"Bout as calm as it can be- no baddies to fight, got a munchkin, moving up at work, things been pretty chill, dude" he said

"That's awesome- Oh yeah I just remembered what I was coming over to say- well other than congrats" he mentioned rummaging through his pants pocket, pulling out a invoice, "Got this from some group that's making an underwater city and they want you guys to be one of the first to walk it"

"Underwater? Is this like an Atlantis thing?" Ron questioned

"...Actually yes. It's called NeoAtlantis. They're trying to show it is possible for people to make a civilization underwater and if this goes off without a hitch they could be green-lighted to make these cities all over the ocean" Wade informed them, "It's a pretty big thing when you think about it"

"Well if you can't live on land, I guess" Kim spoke

…...

Shego returned to the hangar with a few crates. She ordered some henchmen to move them into the lair. Drakken walked out out in his pajamas yawning, "Bout time you came back" he stretched then noticed the henchmen at work, "Shego...what did you do?"

"I did say I'd bring something back" she reminded him, "Besides you were working on some plain or whatever so I took liberty to grab a few things that could help" she guested to the crates being brought in, "Oh and I got a few new toys for the twins. We gotta teach them to stop burning their things and burn other people's stuff."

Drakken grinned, "I wish I could marry you all over again. This is brilliant!" he let out a sinister laugh.

"Yeah yeah, now where are the disaster duo?" she questioned

"Oh they should be asleep" he said walking towards the children's room

They opened the door to find some henchmen in a tea party with Sasha and some helping Draco on a punching bag.

"Henchmen!" Drakken barked, "What in sam hill are you doing?"

"Well they wanted to play" one spoke

"We told them no, then the girl flashed money" another piped up, "And well here we are"

"Why am I proud of Sasha?" Shego questioned, "I mean she isn't even in school yet but pretty much understands how the world works"

"Kids are surprising, Shego" Drakken mentioned before turning attention back to the children, "Alright you two back to bed, you can pick up your little playtime later"

"But-" Draco protested

"No buts shrimpy" Shego countered, "Bed"

The henchmen left and the twin villains went back to bed frowning.

They left their children's room and walked back to the main area of the lair, "So Dr. D, tell me about this oh so marvelous plan of yours you've been working on"

"Ah yes" he spoke, "Have you heard about this new little civilization called NeoAtlantis?"
