Chap 2. I do not own Zim ,they are owned by people with lots of
money. You do not need more money people that own Zim, so please do not
take mine.
Zim ran through the research center as fast as his spider legs could go. It wasn't hard to find where GIR had gone, he left a trail of some kind of mess and open doors behind him. Zim's heart...thingy pounded heavily. He dreaded what he would find, what GIR had done in the nursery. The tallest would not easily so forgive him this time, even during the holiday. "EMERGENCY!!!! SERCURITY BREACH IN THE NURSERY CHAMBER!" The computer bellowed. The rooms flooded with red light and the alarm screamed through the halls. Zim pushed his legs harder, almost to the point of breaking the mechanical joints. The halls leading to the nursery seemed endless, the closer he got, the farther they seemed. Finally, he reached the nursery. GIR stood, staring in awe at the endless rows of un-hatched playmates.
Zim panted, ready to explode at the little malfunctioned SIR, but Zim swallowed his anger (he had learned to do so with GIR, being angry at him didn't help anything and he would forget it in a few minutes anyway) calmly asked, "GIR, what do you think your doing?"
GIR looked up at his master and smiled, "I wanted to play with the babies!"
Rage boiled inside of Zim, but he remained calm. "GIR, how do you find out about this place? Do you have any idea how much trouble where in if someone finds that we've been here?"
GIR looked up vacantly and turned to a tube, completely ignoring Zim's last statement, "Look master I think this ones gonna hatch, it's all blinky. See the little red light, it goes blink, blink, blink..."
"What! Let me see!"
"...Blink, blink. No it's my red blinky light! Blink, blink..."
"GIR, we have to get out of here now! If that thing does hatch, people are going to come to take it away and were gonna get caught! Come on!"
Zim grabbed on to GIR, but GIR latched on to a handle above the birthing tube and screamed some nonsense about his blinky red light. Zim pulled as hard has he could, but GIR wouldn't let go. Finally his little hands slipped sending him and Zim flying backwards slamming them into wall of unborn babies behind them. Zim was sandwiched between a birthing tube and GIR's little body, the handle dug deeply into his spine. Zim moaned in pain, everything became dark to him for a minute then he shook his head and looked down angrily at GIR. GIR stared straight ahead of him, with his curios, yet vacant stare. Zim too looked ahead, his eyes almost bulged out of his skull. The birthing tube had opened. This was not like his birthing tube, this was an older model. It slid out like a draw, and the child already had their backpack instead having it drilled into their back when they woke up. Zim got up slowly and approached the tube. Cold mist swirled around it of chemical vapors that would determine the child's ability. Zim peered into the mist, there reveled the tiniest Irken child sleeping peacefully. It seemed ghostly pale, literally pure white. He could tell that it was female from the perfect curls in her antenna and eyelashes. She was half the size of a normal Irken baby, which worried Zim, that she would be to small to survive or that GIR might have made her hatch premature before she could have fully developed. He wanted to pick her up and cradle her, but afraid that she would break in his hands. She seemed so delicate and pure, it was hard to believe that she was a real life Irk and not one of those china dolls on earth mocked up as an Irken. But she breathed so soundly, her body moving up and down with her long relaxed breaths.
"Awww, she's soooo cuuute. Here hold her master." With that GIR snatched the baby out of her tube and shoved her in Zim's arms. She stirred to the sudden movement, but then cuddled into Zim's arms and fell back into a calm slumber. "I think she likes you!" GIR whispered. Zim stood in awe, looking down at the little child in his arms.
Then he realized what he was doing. "GIR, we have to put her back."
"But why, I wanna play with her." GIR whined. "She's not our responsibility! I can't take care of an Irken child! Especially one like her! We have to put her back, before someone finds us! Hopefully no one has noticed our presence because of the holiday, we might escape unnoticed." Zim felt the baby move in his arms. She stretched her tiny arms and yawned lazily. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zim. Her eyes where a haunting midnight blue almost like the night sky. She smiled and chirped happily reaching her arms out to Zim. Zim's heart melted, but he knew that he couldn't keep her. He sighed and placed her gently back in her tube. The baby looked back confused and started to whimper. She reached out her tiny arms and squealed, begging to be picked up. She couldn't understand why her friend was leaving her. Tears swelled up in her eyes as she whined louder and more franticly. She was scared that he would leave her. Zim looked down, and tried to say he was sorry with his eyes but he could only show her a growing panic. She cried pathetically, almost to quiet to be heard. "Come on GIR, let's go. You got me in enough trouble today." Zim grabbed little GIR by the hand and dragged him toward the door where he was greeted by two caretakers and the tallest themselves. Zim's heart...thingy sank. 'I'm dead'
GIR smiled and waved. "HIIIIIIIII! Wanna play with the baaaby?"
"My tallest, he knows not of what he does, his... AI... is messed up, I...I was going it fix it but..." Zim pleaded.
The Red shook his head and Purple sighed. "Enough Zim. It's been a long night. We'll talk about this matter tomorrow. Just go."
Zim skulked away, feeling the Tallest's eyes burn through him as he past them. He had never felt so small. He dragged GIR behind him, who was waving at the baby with his free arm. 'God. I'm so freakin dead.' Zim thought.
"Zim!" a faint cry could be heard behind him. "Zim!" He looked back into the nursery. The caretakers and tallest surrounded the little child. She was crying. Zim looked back sadly, he wanted to take her back with him for some strange reason. "Zimmy!" The child cried again followed by the cutest little sniffles. Then...the child screamed bloody murder. Everyone stepped back from surprise of such a loud noise coming from such a tiny thing. GIR then for no reason at all other then the fact he was GIR, decided to imitate the screaming toddler.
"Make it stop!" Red demanded holding where ears would have been. The caretakers scrambled to do everything they could to stop the screaming baby but with no avail. Zim stared helplessly back at the little child, her pure white skin now red from screaming and tears pouring down her face. Zim couldn't stand it anymore. He marched over to her and snatched her from the caretaker's arms.
The child still screamed even now in Zim's hold. "Silence!" Zim said in a stern voice. The child stopped instantaneously. "That is no way for a proud Irken Child to behave!" Tears started to swell in her eyes again. Zim smiled reassuringly and held her close and rocked her back and forth. "That's better." She sniffed and buried her face into his chest. He could feel her wet tears bleed through his clothes slightly stinging him. He petted her head and tried to sooth her while wondering what the hell he was doing. This whole parental thing was not him. The caretakers looked astonished at the sight they saw before them. They all knew Zim well from assemblies that the tallest had shown what an incompetent idiot he was. Yet only he could calm the child while they could not. The Tallest frowned down on the care takers. Red spat, "What's the child's name, and duty." One of the caretakers gulped and looked on the cover of the birthing tube. "Her name is Lilly...but her ability is...unknown."
Weeeeeeeee, that was fun. God I almost could read the original fic, Zim was to damn cute and cuddly. He still is but I'm no lazy fix all of it. Oh well, I hoped you enjoyed anyway.
