Chapter 34 –

Stepping into the door way Drakken held his breath and closed his eyes. Small and scrawny with his black hair messed up he braced himself to hear his poor mother scream. Abby stood in shock as she saw a small boy that she once knew. Standing before her was a boy with black wavy hair, and diamond beetle like eyes. Standing before her was a boy she would comfort when he was sick and scared when he was little, and standing before her was her son when he was the age of 4.

Shego's heart was pounding rather fast and through the silence that was going on she could hear it pound very quickly. 'Don't faint!' Shego thought bracing her self to catch poor Abby who was white as chalk and was staring at her son as if she just met him.

"Eh, Hi mom." Drakken then said nervously waving his little small pale hand. Abby then started to breath heavily as her beady eyes looked at him from the tip of his hair on the top of his head to the souls on his shoes. "Drew?" She whispered quietly as he smiled kindly. Then Abby eye's started to roll back and Drakken was getting nervous. "Mom... mom don't..." His voice trailed off as helpless Abby feel to the ground with her eyes closed.

Shego, who was afraid of this, ran to her side and checked to see if she was still breathing. "Mom!" Drakken screamed as he to ran to his helpless mother's side and brushed that hair out of her pale face. "I knew this would happen," Shego said in a worried voice standing up and running to get a wet cloth. "Will she be ok?" Drakken asked in a panicked voice. "Yes, yes I think so... she just fainted that's all." Shego said kneeling back down and helping her sit up a bit. Abby's face was flushed and ice cold, and Drakken prayed that she had just fainted.

Shego then ringed the cool water of Abby's face and Drakken fanned her a bit. 'Come on mom wake up... please.' Drakken thought as he ran is little fingers down the side of her face. If something would have ever had happened to his mother and it was because of him, he would never forgive himself.

Slowing starting to stir, Abby's eyes cracked open and she looked around the room. Drakken then let out a deep breath of relief and sat back against the wall. Shego had helped Abby up and they both just looked down at Drakken. "What?" He said raising one eye brow. "What did you do to yourself?" Abby asked in a small voice glaring down at him. "Bad experiment?" He said quickly feeling bad about what he had did. "I don't believe it," Abby said feeling like she was going to faint again so she grabbed the chair's arm for support. "Please forgive me momma," Drew said starting to plead. "You're just like him, experiments all the time... first they were fine and then it happened." "Mom now is not the time," Drew said standing up. Then letting out a deep breath Abby closed her eyes and looked down. "I'm sorry... I will never hurt you again." Drew then said as his little face started to well up with tears and he ran out of the room in tears.

"Drew wait!" Shego said as she started out of the room but Abby stopped her. "I'm sorry I fainted; please don't be upset with him." Abby said biting her lower lip. Shego looked down and then nodded, "Maybe he needs his mother this time," She then said smiling at Abby who kindly smiled back as she then headed up the stairs to see her son.

Drakken had ran into his bed room and opened the closet doors. He wasn't scared of the dark like he was when he was young, this time he just ran in angrily and crawled in the back. Cuddling up his little cut up legs he winced when he touched his cuts but then dug his fingers into them because he knew he was deserved to be punished. Tears of sadness and anger ran down his face as he rested his head against the wall in the dark.

Abby slowly walked up the stairs breathing. 'I wonder where he went.' Abby then thought as she checked each bedroom, until she came upon Drakken and Shego's room. Walking in she smiled and looked around. 'I'm so happy Drew has a wonderful wife.' She thought as she was about to leave as she then heard lil sniffles coming from his closet and she knew it was her son.

"Drew, its mommy, please come out." She asked sitting on the bed staring at the dark closet. "No-no, I don't w-want to hurt you a-again!" He said crying a bit rubbing his sore eyes. "You never hurt me hunny... I just don't want to see you get hurt like you're father did." She said telling him the truth. "Please come out," Abby pleaded. Drew then looked up at the dark and dusty ceiling and slowly crawled out on his badly cut knee's and stared at her. "Oh hunny come here!" Abby then said as Drew got up and ran into her open arms. Abby looked down as her son buried his head into her chest like a typical four year old and then did something he didn't do in a very long time... cry his eyes out. "Shhhh its ok, I love you and I'm here!" Abby said as she cradled her son in her arms just like she did when he was born.

That part of the day was nice for both of them, even thought part of it was a total shock to Abby she was happy that she could cry with her son over something that he hadn't cried over in many years. After being together and spending some time talking quietly about what has been troubling them, they were both happy because they were both spending quality time, which they hadn't done in a long time...
