Looking around more and more for Shego he found no hope, so he decided to go to plan two. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed his mother's number. A couple of rings had gone by when he was about to close it when his mother picked up the phone.

"Hello?" She said out of breath.

"Mother? Are you alright? It's Drew."

"Drew!" She cried and thanked the lord it was him, "Darling are you alright. I just saw what happened on the news in town; you didn't go down there did you?"

"Yes, but don't worry I am fine. I need you to go to the hospital and be with Rebecca and Jimmy Go. That's Shego's nephew, you know Rebecca."

"Yes, yes of course. What happened! Are they hurt!"

"A little beat up, but they are fine, I can't find Shego, which is why I am calling you to go be with them so I can find her. She was blown back when the accident occurred; I only pray she is alive." Drakken whispered to his breathless mother, holding back his tears.

"You go look for her, call me and let me know what happens; I am going to the hospital right now! I love you Drew!"

"I love you to mother, be safe!" He said flipping his black and silver cell phone into his pant pocket and ran around calling out Shego's name. Looking behind stores and in them, she was no where to be found. Drakken looked for nearly a half hour, with the help of many firemen and police but no hope was retrieved.

Weak as ever, Drakken collapsed on a bench that was nearly burned to the ground and started to cry. He remembered the first day he met Shego, how beautiful she was, she never changed. He remembered the day she was under the modulator chips, for only in his dreams, she gave him unspeakable pleasure.

Lifting his head up, he glanced at his feet and a small gasp escaped from his lips. Rolled up in a small navy blue bag was Shego's new dress! Across the bag in white print read 'The Magical Toy Box.'.

"Oh Shego… where are you?" Drakken whispered as he picked it up and pulling out her dress. The fabric which was so silky and soft melted in his tiny blue hands like butter on a frying pan. Pulling it close to his face, he ran it across his cheeks and smelled her sent. Releasing a long whimpering sigh, Drakken swore he heard his name be called from behind. Turing around, he saw a pair of feet sticking out from behind the store, 'Pac Sun.' If he was a child and had just seen 'The Wizard of Oz,' he would have screamed and run to his mother claiming it was the bad witch who had the house dropped upon her body.

"Shego? Is that you?" He managed to say as he got up and slowly walked to the mangled body. "Shego!" He than screamed and collapsing to his knees, picking up her head.

"D-Drakken?" She coughed, slowly opening her large diamond green eyes.

"Yes, yes it's me. I am going to take you back to the lair, don't worry, everything will be fine." He smiled, whipping a tear from his cheek and picking her up as carefully as possible. Shego's vest was ripped open and was scorched a bit from the flames that had hit her. Her face was covered in filth and dust and her legs and arms had many deep and long scratches upon them. Trying to speak, Drakken covered her mother with his finger and shook his head.

"Don't say a word," he whispered, "You are badly beat up Shego. I am taking you back to the lair for tender care and lots of rest. I won't leave your side. Not today at least." Drakken smiled as she smiled back and then passed out in his strong muscular arms. It wasn't long until Dr. Drakken was walking up the long icy pathway to his enormous lair and opening the door to what he would call at the moment, 'heaven.'

Taking Shego upstairs he kicked open his bedroom door and laid her onto the bed. Drakken had decided halfway up to his merry home that she was staying in his room because the bathroom was closer to the bed and the bed itself was twice as big as hers.

She tried to move onto her side but he told her she had to stay still. Sitting down, next to her, he gulped and her hand in his. "Shego, I have to undress you." Drakken said tenderly. She just coughed into his face and he accepted that.

"No way you're looking at me nude."

"I have to change your clothes, and I have to clean your body of the cuts. Please."

"You lay one finger on me…" she coughed again and winced in pain, "I will kill you and steal your investments."

"So be it." Drakken whispered as he took a deep breath and started to unbutton her top. Shego's breath started to get heavy and faster as she arched her back into the air and pressed her head into the pillow as if she was putting up a struggle. Drakken could tell she did not want him to see her top-less or naked, at all. Feeling bad for her, he took her hand and squeezed it.

"Oh doctor." She whispered to him like she did before as he finished unbuttoning her top and went into the bathroom to get a sponge. His hands were shaking for he had seen her virgin flesh. Drakken looked in the mirror and hadn't noticed how beautiful she was, even under that nasty attitude.

Coming back into the bedroom her eyes were open a bit as Drakken started to clean up the blood on her neck and chest.

"I know you are enjoying this." Shego said the best she could as tears streamed down her dirty black face and Drakken looked up. Inside his heart he was screaming out the words yes, but in his mind he was screaming out the words no.

"Seeing you in pain doesn't give me any form of pleasure Shego. It never will."

"I wasn't talking about that you big dope." She laughed and coughed up some blood.

"Oh! Don't try to laugh, it could hurt you more!" Drakken said dabbing her lips gently with the cloth and whipping away the blood.

"Why haven't you taken me to the hospital?" She asked after a couple moments of silence,

"Because I am a doctor, and I want to take care of you. Besides I feel responsible for the accident."

Shego coughed, "You just want pity."

"No I don't… alright I am done with your chest and neck. You have lots of nasty cuts, I have to put bandages on them, and so you might be in pain for a couple of days."

"Joy."

Walking back into the bathroom he got a new rag and soaked that with warm water. He looked into the medication cabinet and searched for some band-aids to put on her chest, so her cuts could heal. Finding some in the very back, he came upon something that didn't look familiar to him. It was a long clear tube with clear jelly inside. He read the back and was extremely confused by what he read. Digging it into his pocket near his cell phone he came back out and placed the objects next to Shego.

"Where do you keep your nightgown?"

"What!"

"Calm down, you are only torturing yourself more and more."

"What are you going to do with my nightgown? Sniff it and be all nasty?" Shego said cracking herself up, not knowing why she was laughing, she just was.

"That's your nightmare, not mine. I am going to put you into your pajama's because it's the only thing I know that is comfortable that you wear… you do wear pajama's to bed… don't you?"

"Course I do!" She screamed sitting up some and falling back down onto her pillow with a moan. "They are in my black drawer in my room, the last drawer on the bottom."

"Thank you." He whispered quietly as he walked out of the room and pulled out his cell phone. Dialing back to his mother's cell phone, she picked it up.

"Drew, did you find Shego?"

"Yes. I have taken her back to my lair, I mean home! Yes, home, and I am fixing her up. She is badly beat up and she needs lots of care… how are the children?"

"They have lots of smoke in their lungs, but they will be fine. The doctor is giving them stitches now. What did you get them for Christmas?"

'Why is she asking what I got them? This isn't the time.' Drakken thought rubbing his blue beat up forehead, "I got Rebecca today downtown a jewelry box privately, and a new Barbie. I got Jimmy a new game and a t-shirt and a basketball."

"How nice! I got your father some new ties and a new ornament for the Christmas tree, a gift card to dinner and Law and Order DVD's." Mrs. Lipsky smiled on the other line. "What did you get Shego dear?"

"I got her, uh, I got her,"

"Drew?" Moaned Shego's limp voice down the hall from his bedroom and Drakken knew that she needed him.

"Mother I have to go,"

"I will bring the children back tonight, or should they have Christmas with me and stay over?"

"I-uh, I-uh,"

"Drewwwww."

"Yes! Yes okay! Bring them back tonight if you must and I will call you tomorrow."

Flipping his cell phone down again, the Doctor walked into Shego's room and looked around for her dresser. Her room smelled like Lavenders and Roses, mixed together to give off the perfect passion. Her bed was tightly tucked in at its sides and black satin pillows were puffed up nicely with a small brown fuzzy teddy bear that lied between the front ones smiled at Drakken and he smiled back. Shego's drapes were thin and were a light black shade that blew gently when the wind blew into the room on a perfect summer's day. Drakken inhaled and smelled the joy of her room and than spotted her dresser near her bathroom on the left. Walking over to it, Drakken took a look at the objects that sat on her dresser in perfect order. Shego had three glass vials of perfume that were all made by an extremely expensive brand. Her hairbrush that was redwood, smooth and long, rested in the back on a thin glass plate. Her large mirror that rested on the wall above her dresser was crystal clear. No hairs, scratches or dust were found upon it. Several vials of black and black cherry lipstick were in a row in front of her brush, and a pocket sized small square shaped blush box was on the left to that.

Drakken standing their long enough had managed to doze off and into his own little world. Not taking his eyes off of anything, he had seemed to lose the feeling in his tiny girlish fingers and started to move them vigorously getting them back to their old self, as he rested his hand on her dresser. Running his fingers over her lipstick tubes and her brush, he smiled and felt as if Shego was apart of him right that very minute. Whole. One. Nothing could break their relation ship, no one and nothing.

"Drakken, what are you doing?" Shego coughed down the hall breaking his moment of peace and harmony.

"Uh, just getting your pajamas, sorry!" Knelling down, he opened the bottom drawer and pulled out Shego's soft black top and extra long black pants and hurried back to her.

Shego's eyes were wide open and she was looking around the room, with her head still resting on the pillow. "Why did you take so long? You know where my room is, get lost?" She asked.

"No, I uh, had to call my mother. You know how she gets, that woman could talk until the next century."

"Right. Where are the kids?"

"With her, at the hospital."

"You let them go to the hospital, but you wouldn't take me?" She spat pulling her head up to look at him as he helped her up.

"Like I said before, I feel that you are my responsibility. Now don't get me wrong, Rebecca is as well but,"

"But my brother is going to chop me up into a thousand little pieces when Jimmy goes home and finds out that he was sent to the hospital. I can't believe this is happening."

"Shhh," Drakken coed, "They will be fine, I hope. I have to take care of Rebecca and explain to Edward when he gets back what happened, so we both will be chopped up." Drakken laughed trying to make her happy, but Shego just groaned and rolled her eyes. She had buttoned up her top again the best she could so she could get some privacy in front of her boss.

"Do you think you can undress yourself?" He asked but Shego just shook her head and he frowned. "Looks like I have to do it, oh well, this won't be a problem."

"Make any fast moves and you know what will happen." Shego warned giving him the look as he took off her pants and folded them up and than slipped on her pajama pants.

"See! That wasn't so hard."

"I know it was killing you to hold back your hold back your hormones though," Shego said firmly as Drakken unbuttoned her top again, his hands shaking. Sitting her up, he laid her back again and buttoned up her black soft pajama top and smiled.

"See! Not so hard."

"You're shaking like an Eskimo who forgot his jacket in Alaska."

"I am not, now let me clean up her legs and I will make you some food and I advise you to sleep."

"What ever."


After Drakken had cleaned up the cuts on Shego's legs and tucked her under the covers he walked downstairs and made her some soup. While it was cooking, he sat down in a chair and closed his eyes. Seeing her beautiful face in his mind, he saw her body. A long tangled smile came upon his face as he thought more and more about what he saw. Moments later his right eye opened and his tiny and pudgy blue nose quivered as it picked up the scent of the soup that was almost done. Pouring Shego's bowl he grabbed her cup of tea and hurried back upstairs with a tray. Walking in, Shego looked at him once, she burst out with laughter.

"I-I didn't know room service came with the torcher. Yeah Doctor D. that apron looks great on you, just dashing!"

"Fine than, I will eat your soup and drink you tea!" He said starting to leave,

"I was kidding!"

"So was I. I made you chicken noodle soup… I hope you like it?" He thought remembering when Shego had made the steak and he only prayed his soup tasted better than the steak had did. It looked better at least.

"Hego would always shove that stuff down my throat when I was a baby. Its like,

apart of me or something."

"Good and here is your tea." Drakken said in his normal scratchy tone as he propped her up and placed the tray over her knee's as she started to eat. Drakken went to the bathroom and cleaned his face up and changed his clothes and came back out.

"You want some?" She sneezed, "Your own bowl I mean."

"Ill gets some later." Drakken yawned and slumped down into the chair next to Shego's bed.

"You're tired."

"Obviously,"

"So am I…okay I'm done." Shego smiled handing him back the plate and her empty cup of tea as he nodded and took it back downstairs. Glancing at the ticking clock above the door it read five eighteen. 'The night is young.' Drakken than thought as he flicked off the light in the kitchen and turned on the fire in the living room. His lair was very chilly and very… empty. A wreath hung above the store and some holly above the fireplace, but no stockings, ornaments, mangers, or Christmas tree's were to be found.

Letting out a depressed sigh, Doctor Drakken rubbed his forehead and remembered something. A week earlier he knew it was going to snow and Shego begged for a tree, so he ordered the Henchmen to go out into the back and cut one down. Drakken knew they had at least started the job because they came in one night all in heavy sweats and collapsed in the entry. They never had finished the job and Drakken wasn't surprised… they never finished anything.

Pondering and pondering finally Drakken had made his decision. After Shego was quiet and not be heard he would go into the attic and retrieve the Christmas decorations and surprise her in the morning. It was the least he could do, besides taking care of her.

"Wont the little demons be happy too!" Drakken thought aloud as he walked back up the stairs to his room and walked in. Starting to say her name, Shego was resting her head against the wall in the bed and had fallen off to sleep. Putting on a smile of relief, he walked over to her and picked her upper body up in his arms, and placed her under the covers with her head resting softly on the pillow.

"God Bless you Shego." Drakken whispered running his fingers over her flawless cream colored skin and smiling.

Leaving the room his cell phone rang again and he growled and clenched it. He knew who it was.

"Yes mother?" Drakken hissed.

"I am bringing the children over to your home now. I really think they should stay with me, or maybe I will stay over with you!"

"NO!" Drakken cried and jumped into the air, hoping he hadn't wake Shego.

"Oh alright, alright. The children are tied up in the back,"

"Tied up?"

Mrs. Lipsky laughed and smiled, "they have their belts on and are sleeping on one another."

"How cute, yet evil." Drakken coughed,

"What was that dear?"

"Nothing, nothing. How far away are you?"

"Well, I am in your driveway."

"Goodbye." Drakken said as he flipped off his cell and grabbed his coat, walking outside. Muttering a curse word, the snow had started to fall again and he knew this wasn't going to be easy when he went out back and cut down the rest of the tree that his henchmen were suppose to finish.

Down below him, standing in the puffy snow jumped up and down a mother, an obsessive, loving, out of control starting with her pink frizzy hair, mother. Mrs. Lipsky. Aka in this scenario, Doctor Drakkens worst nightmare when it came to public relations.

"Drewbie! Oh my you look so beat up! Sweetheart maybe I should take you to the hospital too?" She asked jumping onto him and rocking him back and forth as he walked down the icy steps to greet her.

"No thank you, I am doing fine. I will carry Rebecca if you can get Jimmy. Wake up Rebecca, its Uncle Drewbie." He smiled picking her up from under Jimmy's tiny body. Rebecca started to awake a bit and looked around, feeling the soft cold snow fall onto her tiny body in her Uncles arms.

"It's snowing again." She smiled and Drakken was distracted by his mother. Rebecca smiled again and looked up. Above her was one of the most beautiful sites she had ever seen in her entire life. The dark night sky shone brightly with tiny stars and the flakes of snow fell and fell. Her hair was embedded with snow and so were her cheeks and her jacket and pants. Blinking her eyes slowly, a small perfect snowflake had caught her eye and something inside of her just burst. Rebecca pulled her hand out from Drakkens grasp and reached for it. Landing on the tip of her finger, she pulled it close and smiled.

"Little Jimmy, um, time to wake up so we can take you inside." Mrs.Lipsky said smiling and shaking him slightly. Jimmy groaned a bit and looked up at the Mrs. who was leaning over him. Coming into focus, Jimmy opened his mouth and let out the largest and loudest scream he had ever screamed in his life.

"Help! Help, a monster, oh my god!" He cried and Drakken howled with laugher holding Rebecca who was laughing to. Jimmy pressed himself against the other side of the car door panting as beads of sweat rolled down his face.

"Jimmy its me, Mrs. Lipsky, here I come!" She said laughing and starting to crawl into the backseat and he screamed even louder. Rebecca was on the verge of wetting her pants she was laughing so hard, Jimmy was such a baby. For he wasn't recognizing the woman who had picked them both up and drove them back to Drakkens station. The night and the snow had made Mrs. Lipsky look like Frankenstein's bride, and that movie was the cause of all of his nightmares

"Jimmy," Drakken called turning on the car door light and popping his head in. "Come on, it's just my mother. We are back at the lair, come inside so I can get you and Becca into bed. Santa won't come unless you both are in bed."

"Okay…just please, don't tell my father about this. He will laugh at me until I graduate from Collage."

"He wouldn't laugh at you."

"Yes Mrs. L, he would. I get the feeling that my father doesn't really like me that much. I know he doesn't love me."

"Every father loves their son. I mean, you're his child Jim. And I know your mother loves you, she gave birth to you sweetheart."

"I know what I know and it's not what you think." Jimmy said dropping his head a bit as they started up the stairs and almost slipped. Mrs. Lipsky caught him as he started to fall.

"I'm tired." Moaned Rebecca rubbing her eyes and yawning as she cuddled closer into Drakkens hugging arms.

"I'll put you to right to bed when we get inside."

"I'm hungry." Cried Jimmy as Mrs. Lipsky ruffled his little head. She practically adored the little rascal.

"I made some chicken noodle soup. There is a lot left, mother could you pour Jimmy a bowl, I am going to put Rebecca to bed." Drakken whispered and she nodded as they walked into the kitchen.

Taking the tiny child in his arms still up to her bedroom he turned on the light and laid her down. He took off her boots and her jacket and dusted off the wet snow. He folded her cloths that he took off into a pile because after she was sleeping, he would take them downstairs and let them sit by the fire. Putting on her pajama top and bottom he slipped her under the covers.

"Good night sweetheart." Drakken whispered kissing her forehead as two tiny arms started to move and wrapped around Drakkens neck.

"Night naught Uncle Drewbie." Whispered Rebecca as he smiled and she rolled over to her right side and shut her eyes. Going to the door he kept it cracked and smiled again, "Merry Christmas eve."

Entering the quiet, bright light blasting kitchen, Drakken spotted Little Jimmy with the Mrs. eating soup happily.

"You two seem to be bonding together quiet well." Drakken said walking in,

"Your mama is really nice. On the way back from the hospital she was telling us the time when you were a baby and ripped off your diaper at the park and threw it at a lady and ran wild," Jimmy laughed, snorting through his nose, "with no pants on!"

"Mother!" Drakken growled as his cheeks became dark red and he glared at her, she was laughing as well.

"Oh Drew don't always be so up tight about everything! You need to learn to relax a little, find yourself a girl?" She said quickly sipping the rest of her soup.

"A-a girl?" Coughed Drakken taken by surprise.

"Yes a girl. Start a family. Drew I am getting up in the old ages and I want to see my only son have a family. Listen I love you and one thing I would at least like to see… is my baby fall in love and have a family. I never ask for much Drewbie, you know that."

"Go Mr. Drakken, score with Shego!" Cheered and jumped down off of his chair and Mrs. Lipsky howled with laughter.

"What did you just say?" Drakken said kneeling down and couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"Score! You know, when a man and a woman,"

"Okay than!" Drakken said picking him up quickly enough to take the words from the child's mouth.

"Why don't I get you ready for bed and Mom, thank you for everything? I want you to be careful on the roads. Please… would you just like to stay over?"

"I don't want to impose… really Drewbie, I'll be fine." She smiled and walked into the hall to put on her coat. Coming back over to kiss her little boy she looked into his eyes and smiled.

"You're a good man Drew, and I know that what ever happens between you and Shego, things will work out just fine."

"Wait… Shego? We are just Boss and assistant."

"It won't be like that until your hormones start up again,"

"JIMMY!" Said Drakken and Mrs. Lipsky at once and he burst out with laughter wrapping his tiny arms around Drakkens neck, he was ready for bed.

"Good night mother, be safe, and Merry Christmas!"

"Same to you sweetheart. Call me tomorrow! Love you!"

Doctor Drakken watched her drive away and didn't leave until her car lights were out of sight. Taking Jimmy upstairs he let him change and get into bed.

"Thanks for everything Mr. Drakken sir."

"Welcome Jim. Now, into bed or Santa wont come." He yawned as the child nodded and curled up under the soft white sheets.

"Night night." He smiled and waved as Drakken shut off the light and shut the door. Feeling as if he was going to collapse and just fall asleep and never wake up. 'That's what I want for Christmas.' He thought as he walked back to Shego's room and fell onto the bed.

Closing his eyes he kicked off his shoes and unbuttoned the top of his shirt and sighed with a smile. Finally! He was able to lye down and be in heaven. Running his hands, enjoying the feeling, on the bed spread his right hand started to go up Shego's leg and he stopped. Both of his eyes bulged open and he shot her a look.

Shego lay their resting in peace. For once out of all of the time he had known Shego, this was the first time that she had remained quiet for hours. Drakken knew she was terribly beat up and it hurt his heart deeply to see her in pain. Sitting up he removed his hand as much as he wanted it to stay and made his way to the chair next to the bed. Watching her sleep, her chest slowly moving up and down, her long eyelashes, her perfectly shaped body… Drakken smiled knowing Shego was the woman of his dreams.

A half hour later Doctor Drakken woke up from the dream that is everyone's nightmare. It is the dream that you are falling off of a cliff and there is no one to save you when you hit the bottom. Feeling his body shake some, he looked around the dimly lit room and looked at Shego. She hadn't moved and her breathing was the same.

Standing up he yawned and walked over to his dresser and put on a wool sweater. Going down the hall knowing Shego was alright, he checked on Rebecca. She was doing fine as well, than he checked on Jimmy. Fine. Everyone was fine except for Drakken. He needed love; he needed to be loved by a woman. Even his very own mother said it straight up. Drakken felt unloved and unnoticed.

Letting out a depressing sigh, he walked downstairs and noticed that the fire had died while he was sleeping. Shutting off the blasting light in the steal kitchen, he pulled on his coat and boots and stepped out into the dreadfully cold night. His face screamed in pain as the snow and the flying dagger like air touched his skin!

"I have to do this," He said stumbling down the icy path, leading to the back "For Shego! And Jimmy and Rebecca! Oh sweet little Rebecca, how could I ever been so mean to her!" He didn't even know it but he started to have a conversation with himself, Drakken started to feel as if the cold was making him crazy. Walking into the back, he nearly lost his own self in the snow and glanced around for the almost all cut tree. Spotting it towards the end of his large yard, he made his way over to his run down shed and pulled away the evil weeds and found what he was looking for. There lied before him, was a rusty old axe which he picked up and rested on his right shoulder.

If you were looking out a window from his lair you would have sworn he looked like a serial killer on the hunt to kill someone desperate and hopeless. Making his way over to the tree, he lifted up the axe and than stuck it strongly and the tree was on its way to touching the snowy ground completely.

When Doctor Drakken had eventually cut the mangled tree down he dragged it back into his lair and collapsed onto the floor in front of the fire. Breathing heavily he ripped open his jacket and let out strong heavy breath's. Closing his eyes, his lids burned when they were fully shut and he winced them in pain.

After a good twenty solid minutes of resting he got up and placed the tree in its stand and took another break. Who would know getting such a small and mangled looking tree could be so difficult to put up in a stand! Picking up the boxes full of ornaments, Drakken started placing them on the Christmas tree and fingering each on delicately remembering all the memories they gave off…


When his long night was tired, Drakken stumbled up into his bedroom and started to fall on the bed. Looking at Shego in the dark in a groggily in the dark he didn't remember who she was and started to wave his arms in the air like he was going to hit her. "Who are you and what are you doing in my beeeeeed?" Drakken said as he than collapsed onto the floor and started to snore. For Doctor Drakkens body could no longer take it. Running around all afternoon and morning, taking care of two children, and giving tender care to a very special woman of his… he needed a break. And so his hands managed to find a pillow as he snuggled next to it and kissed it twice.

"Good night Shego." Drakken yawned as above him, resting sweetly in is very own sheets whispered Shego back, "Good night Doctor Drakken…". For Shego was not awake and nor asleep… it was just her heart speaking for once.
