Chapter 4

Labor

The next morning, Ron was awakened by Wade,

"I found out who it was, Ron, it was Professor Dementor." Wade said,

"Great, a mad professor, going after a reformed doctor." Ron said sarcastically,

"By the way, you have to meet Monkey Fist in Middleton Park in an hour, you'd better hurry, or he'll leave you alone." Wade said,

"I'm on the way." Ron said, heading to the bathroom, and the waiting shower.

It took Ron about ten minutes to get ready, and kiss Kim goodbye, then he was on his way to Middleton Park,

"Sadie, run a bio-DNA scan of the park, Monkey Fists DNA is unique, see if you can locate him." Ron said,

"No problem, hot stuff," Sadie said, "got him, he's at the wall."

"Coolio, thanks, Sadie." Ron said,

"No problem, sweetie." Sadie replied,

Ron had arrived at the wall about ten minutes ahead of schedule,

"What did you do, run here?" Monkey Fist asked,

"The sooner we can get Drakken home, the better." Ron said,

"Agreed." Monkey Fist replied,

"And besides, sooner, or later, Kim and Shego are going to want to hit the mall, Kim's not got any baby clothes yet." Ron said, making Monkey Fist frown slightly,

"She's been pregnant for the last eight months, and she's just now thinking of baby clothes?" he asked,

"Think about it," Ron replied, "she's been in and out of the hospital for the last five months, you tell me?"

"What started that all, anyway?" Monkey Fist asked,

"She was three months along when it all started, her blood pressure dropped thirty points in about five minutes, she passed out because of it, then at four months, she was admitted to the hospital for the same reason, then at seven months, she went in for vaginal bleeding, and just two weeks ago, for the same thing." Ron relayed,

"Did they figure out what was wrong?" Monkey Fist asked, sounding concerned,

"Well, the doctors didn't tell me, but Drakken did. He said that her body can't take the strain the pregnancy is putting on her." Ron said,

"And pregnancy does put a strain on the female body." Monkey Fist said, his face contorted in thought,

"What are you thinking about?" Ron asked,

"Oh, the case," Monkey Fist said, sounding evasive, "just wondering who would want to do this to Drakken?"

"Well, wonder no further," Ron said, smiling, "it was Professor Dementor."

"DeMenz? What would he want with Drakken's fusion technology?" Monkey Fist asked,

"If I know Dementor, he wants it for something bad." Ron said,

"I knew him in High School, he was a twisted little wart then." Monkey Fist said,

"How long ago was that?" Ron asked,

"About twenty-five years ago," Monkey Fist said, "we both went to Eton, we were in the same year, he was constantly getting detention for something, most of the time, it was for creating mayhem in the science lab."

"Wow," Ron said, sounding slightly impressed, "he sounded like a holy terror back then."

"And if he's after Drakken's fusion technology, he's gotten worse," Monkey Fist said, "we need to put a lid on this animal, quickly."

Ron, and Monkey Fist arrived at the airport about ten minutes after they had arrived, and quickly filed a flight plan, they were going to take the private team jet to Germany, where they knew Professor Dementor to be holed up,

"We should arrive in Dresden in about ten hours." Monkey Fist said,

"With fuel stops in Chicago, New York, and London along the way." Ron added, Ron was sitting in the pilot's seat, while Monkey Fist had the co-pilot's chair.

"300 knots, we're making good time." Monkey Fist said, his eyes on the air speed indicator

"Flying at 30,000 feet, level flight." Ron said, his eyes gazing at the altimeter, and the artificial horizon,

"In perfect flight, so sit back, and enjoy the view." Monkey Fist said, now reaching for a button marked 'Auto Pilot,' and pressing it,

"We're on auto pilot." Ron said, noticing the light come on at his console,

"I've got to go see a man about a horse, think you can handle it?" Monkey Fist asked,

"No big." Ron replied.

Meanwhile, back at the Kim and Ron's apartment:

"C'mon, Shego, I need to pick up some baby clothes." Kim begged, looking at the raven-haired beauty,

"If I let you go, and you wind up in the hospital again, Ron's gonna kill me." Shego replied,

"Why don't you come with, I've not felt this good in five months." Kim said, smiling,

"I'm gonna regret this, but, okay, on one condition." Shego said,

"What's that?" Kim asked,

"The first sign of anything out of the ordinary, you park your butt in a wheelchair, and stay there for the rest of the trip." Shego replied,

"Agreed." Kim said, a huge grin on her face.

"Aren't we forgetting something?" Shego asked, pointing to the Kimmunicator sitting on the table,

"Oh, right, I'm glad that Wade made two extras of this." Kim said, pocketing the device in the hip pocket of the capri-style pants she was wearing, and walking out the door, ahead of Shego, who was keeping a close watch on her.

Kim and Shego arrived at Club Banana few minutes after leaving the apartment, and all was going well,

"Here we are, newborn's." Kim said, picking up several sets of clothes, and looking at them,

"Those look so cute, you're gonna spoil this child." Shego said, watching Kim. It happened in an instant, Kim doubled over in pain, and clutched at her abdomen,

"Uh-oh," Kim said, now looking at the small puddle that formed at her feet, "my water just broke."

A/N: That's the end of Chapter 4, hope you enjoyed it, sorry for the cliffe, but I couldn't have Kim delivering in this chapter, not without Ron knowing that she was in labor, that'll happen in the next chapter, with a major twist, what is it? You'll just have to read, and find out.

Thanks for reading and reviewing, special thanks to contential line, and captiankodak1 for their support, I appreciate it guys.
