Chapter Seventeen – Getting Prepared

Drakken walked over with Shego blocking their sun, as they both looked up and didn't know who it was. "Hey Monty!" Drakken said cheerfully. "Drakken? Hey!" Monkey Fist said being very surprised jumping up and shaking his hand. "Shego is that you?" Amy said walking past them. "Hey Amy, how are you?" Shego said hugging her back. "Great, how have you guys been?" Amy said with a wide simile upon her face. "Excellent," Drakken said finishing Amy question, slightly hugging her. "Wow, we are so surprised, I mean to see you guys here! In a kid's park?" Monkey Fist asked rising one eye brow laughing. "Well, you know our Lair is up the hill, and we discovered it a little while ago, and we are looking forward to," "Spending some time here when our baby is born." Shego said finishing Drakken's sentence who was surprised by what she was going to say. He wrapped his arm around her as they both smiled.

"You're having a baby?!" Amy said almost in a scream. "Yeah, were going to have a baby together." Shego said laughing slightly. "Oh my god Shego that's wonderful!" DNAmy said hugging her tightly. "Congratulations Drakken!" Monty said patting Drakken on the back happily. "Its so exciting, it's only been a few weeks now since we found out." Shego said looking down and putting her hand on her lower belly which was getting slightly bigger each day. Monty and Amy 'awed' as they all went and sat down on a picnic table.

"So how have you guys been?" Shego asked resting her arms on the brown ruff table. "Good actually, thanks. We also had a little bundle of joy come into our lives." Monkey Fist said smiling. "Toby! Come over here and say hello to some people!" Amy said standing up and yelling across the play ground. Turing around Drakken and Shego saw a little boy wearing a dark brown shirt that had a monkey on it and black shorts climbing over the metal obstacles over to his parents. Looking up at his dad, Monty picked him up and sat him on his knee. "Toby, these are our friends, that's Ms. Shego and Dr. Drakken." Monty said not trying to laugh. Shego looked down and chucked to herself, from being called Ms. Shego. "Hi, I'm Toby Fisk." He said putting out his small little hand. Drakken took it and shook it and so did Shego. "Can I go play now? I'm teasing a girl and putting twigs in her hair." He said looking at his daddy. Monty laughed and set him back on the ground. "Don't hurt her!" He called as he flew back onto the red painted monkey bars. "Your son seems nice." Shego said to both of them. "He can when he wants to be. Much like his father." Amy said giving Monty a look but trying not to laugh. "What ever you say dear." Monkey said looking up at the sun.

All four of them talked for a while until they realized it was getting late and the little girl Toby was chasing went home with her mom and dad. The sun was about to set within a few hour's and Drakken knew he and Shego had to get home to get ready for Abby to come. Saying good bye Drakken and Shego walked home. Shego decided to wear a long black dress and fixed her messy hair. She wore around her neck a diamond necklace that was green and silver, 'Drakken gave it to her on their honeymoon. Of course Shego fell in love with it the minute she saw it and refused to never take it off.' Putting on a little makeup and more black lipstick so she didn't look to frightening. (not that Shego never dose!) She went to check on how Drakken was coming along. She opened the door and the room smelled nice. "You have taken a shower... for once." Shego said only joking walking over and pulling out a nice white shirt for him. "Very funny." He said in his normal not so nice tone. Drakken had on his black pants and his good shoes and Shego came over to give him his shirt. "What wrong?" She asked butting it up for him. Drakken sighed as he looked into her eyes. "Nervous I guess... it has been 8 years. I hope she doesn't faint when she see's me." Drakken said biting his lower lip. Shego laughed and did his tie for him as well. "She won't faint... now where did you ever get that idea." "Your mocking me again aren't you?" Drakken asked looking down at her and raising one eye brow, as Shego tried not to laugh. "No, now be serious, why would she faint?" "Look at me!" Drakken said turning around and sadly looking into the glass mirror. "I'm hideous!" He said raising his arms up and going to sit on the chair. When ever Drakken got upset he never could sit still.

"You are so not hideous! Don't ever talk like that!" She said coming and sitting next to him. Drakken had his head in his hands as Shego patted his back. "My whole life people told me I was a mistake, and I was never right. People would tell me I was dumb, and I was hideous... and it's true." Drakken said sadly. Shego's face went white and her eyes were now tender and loving. "Who said that to you Drew?" She whispered holding him. "Someone," Drakken said. "You are not hideous, you are not a mistake, and you are definitely not dumb! I love you with all of my heart, and I'm telling you the truth." Shego said. Drakken looked up and saw the kindness in her eyes. 'God I love her so much'. Drakken thought. 'I always know that Shego will be with me.' He thought some more looking deeper into her eyes. "Don't forget that ok?" She said smiling and pulling his chin up with her hand. Drakken nodded as she leaned down and kissed him. Drakken put his hands on her slender waste as he kissed her back. Running her hands through his nicely combed hair, she felt his warmth coming from his body. Breaking the kiss she smiled and looked down at him. She then kissed his forehead and told him she was going to go get the dinner table ready.

Shego lit a few dinner candles on the table and then took out the Chicken and set it on a nice white plate. Taking out three plates she set the table, and got the silver wear our along with the napkin's. When she was finished she congratulated her self when she heard noises coming from upstairs. Shego knew it was Drakken and knew what he was doing. Going to the foot of the stair way she called up, "Stop pacing like worry wart and come down." She said in her normal vicious tone. Drakken quickly came down and put on his dark black jacket. "I look like I'm going to a funeral." He said with a scowl on his face as he sat down in the chair. "You will be going to your own funeral if you don't like the dinner I made." Shego said laughing as he did the same. Shego came over and dimmed the lights looking at the clock. "You look very nice tonight sweet heart." Drakken said looking at her dreamily admiring her in her tight sexy black dress. "You're wearing the necklace." Drakken said chuckling remembering when he gave it to her and she refused to take it off 24-7. "Thank you Dr.D." She said smiling at him in a way she hadn't in a long time. 'Wow... when was the last time she called me Dr.D?' Drakken thought to himself. "So do you." Shego said smiling sweetly at him. Drakken smiled and quickly took a glance at the clock he bit his lip as the clock rolled around to 7:15.
Finally it was quarter to Eight and Drakken couldn't take it any longer. "She's not coming!" He said quickly jumping up from his chair that he was tapping his fingers one and watching the clock every second. "You made me jump!" She said getting annoyed. "Sorry," He said walking out of the kitchen and looking out the window. Everything out side their lair was quite, their were only crickets and no car lights... nothing. "Will you stop worrying!" Shego said getting a little bit annoyed and coming over to him. "No, I have a feeling!" He said walking around in circles. "You have a feeling?" Shego said raising one eye brow and giving him a look. "Ah huh. Yeah well what is it going to be like when the baby is going to be born? Huh? When I'm giving birth you will prob. be all over the hospital wont you? Just relax." Shego said holding his shoulders and making him from walking. "When the baby will be born... ill be a nervous wreck." Drakken said holding her face in her hands. "No you wont." Shego said giving him courage. "I want you to be in the room with me while it happen's." Shego said wrapping her arms around his body. Drakken looked down and smiled. "Ill be with you when ever you want... I will always be with you." Drakken then said hugging her closely and kissing the top of her head. Just then as she cuddled in his strong arms, a flash of white lights came up the drive way. Drakken's eyes shot open and he flew to the window.

"Oh my god, she is here!" He said getting nervous again. "Relax." Shego said putting her hands on her hips. "Come on, let her knock first before you open the door, so it doesn't look like you were watching out the window for her and making her feel late." Shego said pulling his hands. Drakken was white like never before, he was thrilled and scared at the same time. What would Abby think when she saw her son in which she hadn't seen in 8 years! What would she look like? What were they going to talk about? Just then they both heard a car door be shut and foot steps coming up the brick walk way. Knocking on the door, Drakken let go of her hands as she gave him thumbs up, and he laughed to himself... and with that he opened the door and their stood his mother... Abby Lipsky.
