Chapter 5
Something's Wrong
Ron, and Monkey Fist arrived in Dresden early, and set out for Professor Dementor's lair, which was located on the outskirts of town, Monkey Fist had been here before on a solo mission, to retrieve a stolen nuclear disruptor from Dementor last month,
"It's just over that small rise over there." Monkey Fist said, pointing to a small hill in front of them,
"Then what are we waiting for." Ron said running for the hill, and down the other side,
"Ron, wait," Monkey Fist said, then, shaking his head, he added, "typical Ron, rushing in headlong, where angels fear to tread."
"You fool." Monkey Fist said, after catching up with Ron, "You could've gotten yourself killed, you know, how would I explain that to Kim?"
"I can see it now." Ron said, then, mocking Monkey Fist's voice, he added,
"'Kim, I've got bad news.'"
"Very funny, Ron," Monkey Fist said, chuckling slightly, "she'd skin me alive if I brought back information like that."
"In her current state, she'd probably go into labor right there." Ron replied,
"Not funny, Ron, not funny at all." Monkey Fist said,
"I wasn't trying to be." Ron said, pulling out a set of bolt cutters from his belt, and cutting the chainlink fence that surrounded Dementor's compound,
"Want to ring the bell?" Monkey Fist asked, as they approached the front door,
"Nah." Ron said, taking a few steps back, "I say we bust down the door."
Ron built up a huge head of steam, and rushed at the door, but never got a chance to break it open, Monkey Fist had opened it without trouble, which caused Ron to go skidding into the lair, and end up crashing hard into a wall,
"It wasn't locked." Monkey Fist said, helping Ron to his feet,
"Thanks for the update." Ron gasped, pulling himself upright with a loud cracking sound, (he had to put his back into place)
Meanwhile, at Middleton General Hospital:
Kim had gone straight to the delivery room upon her arrival at the hospital, Shego had come with her,
"The doctor's not here yet, Kimmie, take it easy." Shego said,
"I am." Kim replied, breathing hard.
The doctor had arrived a few seconds after Kim had been taken to delivery,
"How far?" he asked as soon as he stepped into the room,
"She's dilated eight centimeters." the nurse said, just as another contraction wracked Kim's body,
"I'm gonna kill Ron for this." she said after the contraction settled,
"Easy, girl, don't say anything you'll take back later." Shego said, making Kim laugh, until the next contraction hit,
"RONALD JAMES STOPPABLE, YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!!" Kim yelled, almost sitting up on the delivery table,
"I don't think I can compete with that." Shego said, trying her best to keep Kim in a happy mood, it wasn't working,
"OOH!! When I get my hands on him!" Kim said, as another contraction hit,
"Dilated ten centimeters." the nurse said,
"All right, Kim, when the next contraction hits, I want you to push, with everything you've got." the doctor said, looking up at Kim, who nodded,
"All right. PUSH!" the doctor said, Kim did as she was told, sitting up slightly, and pushing, the doctor was smiling slightly,
"This one's coming fast, I can see the head already." the doctor said, urging Kim to keep going.
It took a few minutes, but the baby was finally delivered,
"It's a girl." the doctor said, holding the crying baby in his hands, and moving it to the small table to the right of Kim, so that it could be cleaned up, and taken to the nursery,
"Oh, I'm tired." Kim said, closing her eyes, as her eyes closed, the monitors in the room began sounding their alarms,
"Heartbeat dropping, we're losing her!" the doctor screamed,
"Get a crash kit in here, stat!" the nurse said to another nurse that was standing near the door,
"Where's the husband?" the doctor asked, looking at Shego,
"Out of the country." she replied, watching the monitors as they read Kim's life draining from her body, suddenly, Shego was hit with an idea,
"I can help." she said, looking at the doctor,
"What?" the doctor asked,
"I can help, just let me have a shot at this." Shego said, stopping the nurse with the crash cart,
"It's a little unethical, but, we need all the help we can get, go ahead." the doctor said, allowing Shego to move closer to Kim.
Shego stood over Kim's body, and leaned down, whispering into her ear,
"I will not let you leave, and allow Ron to take care of your daughter alone, do you hear me Kimberly Ann Stoppable?"
Shego allowed the power she possessed to course through her body, filling the room with a bright green glow, she then leaned forward, and placed her hands on Kim's exposed chest,
"C'mon, snap out of it." Shego said, her face contorted in pain, and her forehead breaking out into a sweat.
Back at Professor Dementor's lair:
Ron and Monkey Fist were battling Professor Dementor's henchmen, which seemed to come out of every corner of the building, when the familiar tones of the Kimmunicator rang out in Ron's ear. Pushing a button on his belt, he activated the device, which was located in his right hip pocket, and attached to an earphone, which was stuck in his right ear,
"Kinda busy at the moment, Wade." Ron said, knocking out a henchman with a roundhouse kick,
"I know, but we've got a problem back at home." Wade replied,
"What kind of problem?" Ron asked, sending another henchman flying into a wall,
"A Kim's in labor kind of problem." Wade said, making Ron stop dead in his tracks,
"When did it happen?" Ron asked,
"Just as you and Monkey Fist landed in Dresden, I couldn't get a hold of you because of all the interference in the area." Wade replied,
"That was two hours ago, Wade." Ron said, getting back into action,
"I know, and I'm sorry, but I just found about it through the security cam at Club Banana." Wade said,
"She was where?" Ron asked,
"Club Banana. Shego was with her. They left together, so she's in good hands." Wade replied,
"I'll take that as a good thing." Ron said,
"I'll call you if I hear anything else, Wade out." Wade said, signing off, and letting Ron get back to work,
"I got him, Ron, let's get out of here!" Monkey Fist shouted, holding onto a clearly drugged Drakken,
"I'm for that, is the surprise package set?" Ron said, delivering a perfect jumping side to the face of a henchman,
"Yeah, we got three minutes to get out of here, or we're going to be seeing St. Peter." Monkey Fist said,
"Right behind you." Ron replied, running for the door, Monkey Fist running flat out for the outside of the lair.
Monkey Fist had set timed C4 charges throughout the lair, in an attempt to wipe out anything that Dementor was working on that involved Drakken's fusion technology, he had placed several in the main computer room, along with several more at the foundation of the building, ensuring that it could never be used again.
No sooner than they had exited the building, than they saw Professor Dementor leaving the lair, wearing a jet pack,
"Bloody hell! we missed him." Monkey Fist seethed,
"We'll get him next time." Ron said, grabbing Drakken's feet, and pushing him to the jet, which was now waiting for the three arrivals to board,
"I forgot that the jet was set with a homing device." Monkey Fist said,
"You also forgot that it was vertical take off and landing, didn't you?" Ron said, looking back at Monkey Fist, as he pushed another button on his belt, calling for the plane to land, so that they could board easier,
"Oh, yeah." Monkey Fist said, walking up the rear ramp, and into the plane, still carrying Drakken by the shoulders, they watched, as Dementor's lair exploded, and littered the surrounding area with debris.
As Ron walked into the cockpit, he pushed several buttons, and sent the jet straight up into the air, like rocket that had just been launched,
"What's the hurry?" Monkey Fist asked, now joining Ron in the cockpit,
"Kim went into labor about two hours ago." Ron said, now pushing another button on the pilot's console, sending the supersonic jet streaking across the sky with a loud boom.
Back at Middleton General Hospital:
Shego had been working non-stop on Kim for the last twenty minutes, but nothing was happening,
"COME ON, GOD DAMMIT!!" Shego screamed, pressing her hands harder into Kim's chest,
"I'm gonna call it." the doctor said, but he was quickly cut off by Shego,
"If you do, I swear to God that I'll kill you where you stand!" Shego yelled, her hands still on Kim's chest, her foot across the doctor's throat. But something was happening, the monitors were starting to show signs of life again,
"Look at this. She's coming back, she's coming back." the nurse said, looking over at the trembling doctor,
"Heart rate coming up strong, and getting stronger," the doctor said, looking at the machinery, "pulse rising, blood pressure stabilizing, we got her."
"It's about time." Shego said, powering down, and allowing herself to sit down, the first time she had done so since they had arrived at the hospital,
"Ugh! What happened?" Kim asked, opening her eyes slowly, and looking at Shego,
"Welcome back to the land of the living, Kimmie." Shego said, looking down at Kim, who smiled,
"Thanks." Kim replied, Kim knew that Shego had almost risked her own life to save her's,
"As you would say, 'no big.'" Shego said, slumping into a chair, and passing out.
A/N: And that's it for the fifth chapter, I intend to end it with the sixth chapter, as this story is a link story between How To Plan A Wedding, and the next story I have planned for this series, which has yet to be named.
