Not long after the word 'twins' escaped the technitchan's lips, another baby's moans filled the room.
"Both your son and daughter are fine," the doctor said to Drakken.
"And my wife?" Drakken asked worriedly.
Shego lay on the hospital bed with her son in her arms. Without looking up she began to speak.
"Drew Lipsky," she said as though frustrated; which she probably was. "We are never going through that again!"
Drakken smiled.
"I think she'll be just fine," he said with a nervous laugh.
The doctor grinned back at the new father.
"Would you like to hold your daughter?" the doctor asked.
Drakken nodded and outstretched his arms.
He looked down at the tiny figure. She looked just like her mother; except the eyes. When Drakken peered into the baby's tiny face, he saw his own dark eyes stare back.
"You know," he whispered to his daughter. "You lost me a bet. But it's worth it. Way worth it."
The baby gushed and gurgled at the sound of her father's voice.
Shego held their son all the while.
He resembled his father, but had Shego's green eyes. And he was like Shego in another way, while his sister criedloudlyand gurgled, the boy was more reserve. Less talkative.Shego glowed with pride.
Shego had never pictured herself as a mother. Not even at a young age. She'd always begged never to portray the mother in games that she played with her school mates. Even when she had first married Drakken, she still did not want to extend the family tree. Now, she was a mother, and she was determined to be the best mother on earth.
Both parents were jolted out of their thoughts when the doctor spoke once again.
"You are free to take them home. If you want though, you can stayhere for the night."
Shego shook her head. But Drakken nodded.
"Drew, let's just get them home." Shego sighed.
"No. We've only got one crib," Drakken said obstinately.
Shego laughed. Drakken was right.
"I'll stay here, you can go pick out the crib," she suggested.
Drakken didn't want to, but he figured Shego had her reasons for sending him away, most likely so she could rest. So Drakken left his wife's side to go pick out a crib.
