potionman- No, but good try. She was just afraid of losing her brothers. Being as she is Kim, she would have blamed it all on herself.
gargoylesama- Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
captainkodak1- Thanks, my chapters will get longer soon. Really? I can sort of picture her more along the lines of yelling at her brothers, but that didn't really fit in with the story line. You'll find out where Ron is in this chapter.
A/N: Thanks to all of my reviewers, you now get Chapter 2! Enjoy! (R&R)
"Any word on Kim?" Ron yelled when he ran into the hospital after seeing the Possibles. Everyone in the waiting room turned to stare at him, as he tried to catch his breath. "What?" Ron asked as they all resumed what they had been doing. "So, anything?" he asked after sitting down with his newly acquired girlfriend's, who used to be his best friend since Pre-K, family. The look on their faces said it all.
"Ron, we're very glad you could come on such short notice." said Mrs. Dr. Possible.
"Yeah, well, ya know, it was a Friday, and I told KP I'd always be there for her, and I can spend the weekend at my parents house, and well, um, yeah." Ron stammered, obviously hiding something.
"Ronald, how's college?" Mr. Dr. Possible asked.
"Oh, it's pretty good, I guess, but there are some times that I wish I had taken the summer off like Kim did. At least Upperton University is close by."
"And what are you majoring in again?"
"Culinary Arts. Someday, I'm gonna be a famous chef with a T.V. show called Cooking With Ron."
"Mmm..fascinating. I hope you have fun with that."
"Yeah, so do I." Ron replied. 'But it won't be any fun without Kim.' He thought. 'If she doesn't get better, I don't know what I'm gonna do.' Ron began to tear up, but quickly blinked them back. He didn't want to be caught crying in front of Kim's family. He needed to be strong for them and her.
After about half an hour of silence, Ron went out to his car to get his homework. He sat in the driver's seat for a few minutes and cried, laying his arms on the steering wheel and sobbing into them. Soon, he grabbed a tissue from his glove compartment, dried his eyes, and blew his nose. Grabbing his homework, Ron slammed the door shut and began walking back to the entrance. Near the doors, he stepped out of view and started to slam his head into his books. 'I should have been there. The one time I'm not with her, she gets hurt. Stupid college. Stupid homework. Stupid me!' he thought. Ron took a couple deep breaths to calm himself down. Then he went inside and acted like none of it had ever happened, but it didn't help.
Mr. Dr. Possible saw Ron's whole episode with his books. He was just about to go out to see if he could help Ron, being as it was taking him a long time. Before he got to the door, Kim's dad saw Ron coming and turned around to go back to his figuring the door would open in a few moments. When it didn't, Mr. Possible went to see what was keeping Kim's boyfriend. That's when he saw Ron beating himself up over his daughter. He felt bad for Ron and decided to talk to him. "Ronald, can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked.
"Sure, just let me put down my books first."
After they got out of ear shot of the family, Mr. Dr. P asked, "So, Ronald, you love Kim, right?"
"Yeah."
"And..."
"Wait," Ron interrupted. "What did you say?"
"I asked you if you loved Kim."
"Well, love is such a strong word. I mean, umm, yeah. Uhh..no. Wait. Grr. Is this a trick question?" Ron stammered.
"No, Ronald, it isn't."
"I..uhh..."
"Yes, or no?"
Ron covered is face with his hands and said, "Mff."
"What was that?"
"Umf."
"Pardon me?"
Ron uncovered his face and blurted his answer so loudly that the whole waiting room could hear it. "Yes! Okay, yes! I love Kim! Are you happy now?" His face turned as red as the shirt he was wearing.
"Mmm...just as I thought." Ron turned around to back to his chair. "Oh, and Ronald."
"Yeah?"
"The doctors came by while you were out getting your homework."
A/N: Yes, I know it's a cliffy, but I have to keep you wanting more. Especially since I'm going on vacation to Florida for four weeks tomorrow, so I probably won't be writing my fanfics for a while. Still, I hope to see two reviews when I get back. (Actually, I hope for more, but two will get you guys another chapter.) Thanks for reading, and please review!
