Chapter 12Meeting New People and Bad News
Shego left the lair, headed for the hospital. Again she wore the bracelet Drakken had made. When she got to the hospital, she transformed into Bonnie, went into the building and straight to Kim's room. When she entered the room, she heard Kim talking to someone. She quietly sat down in a chair across from Kim's bed.
The two people that Kim was talking to turned to face her. Both had a look of shock on their faces. 'Oh great,' Shego thought, 'Not Stoppable. And who's the girl?' She smiled at them. Kim gave a knowing glance but didn't say anything, at first.
After a few minutes of awk-wierd silence, Shego heard Kim speak, "You can give it up 'Bonnie'. I don't think my friends will have a problem with you, that is, if they are my friends." She looked at Ron and Monique both of the times she said the word friends.
Shego glanced at Kim and hesitantly removed the bracelet which in turn, transformed her back into herself. She looked at Ron who said, "That was sick... and wrong but so cool. Can I do that?" Shego hesitated again.
Kim interrupted the uneasy silence, "Um, guys? I think Shego is here because she wants to talk to me. Can we have some privacy?"
"No problem, Kim," Monique said. She began to drag a stubborn Ron Stoppable out of the room.
"I'm not leaving. I trust Shego about as much as I like homework," Ron shuttered.
"Ron, it's okay. I trust her. Besides, Shego wouldn't hurt me now," Kim said while looking at her suspended limb. "It would go against the unwritten code of villainy." Monique got the hint and pulled Ron out of the room.
"Come on Mad Dog; maybe you can show me some moves?" she asked of Ron. She turned toward Kim a final time, winked, and said, "We'll see you tomorrow." With that Kim's two best friends were gone.
Kim turned to face Shego. "What's up?" she asked.
Shego found her voice, "Was just thinking about last week."
"What about?" Kim asked. "Exactly?"
"Us," Shego said. Kim visibly lit up. "Don't get so..." Shego beagn.
"Excited?" Kim questioned.
Shego relented, "Not the word I would have chosen, but OK."
Kim and Shego talked some more until Mrs. Dr. Possible and a brown haired man in a white lab (No, not Mr. Dr. Possible) coat walked into the room. Neither one was smiling.
Dr. Possible turned to Shego and asked, "Excuse me, miss, but I need a word with my daughter- alone."
Shego got up to leave, but Kim stopped her by uttering a single phrase, "Please stay?" It was more of a statement than a question. Shego sat back down. Kim beckoned her to the bedside and slipped her hand in the other girl's as soon as she complied.
Dr. Possible continued, "Dr. Payne and I just came from the X-ray labratory. We were discussing your recovery process..." she trailed off.
"And, well, Kim, you just aren't healing the way you should be. Your mother talked to your father over the phone before we came in, and together they came to an agreement." Dr. Ivan Miguel Anthony Payne said.
Kim looked at her mother as Dr. Possible took over again, "Kimmie, your father and I have cleared it for Dr. Payne to set your leg, so that it may have a chance to heal properly." She thought to herself, 'I recognize this guy, but I wish I knew who he was.'
Kim had never had a broken bone before, but she did know what all they entailed. She'd heard Mrs. Dr. Possible talk about the procedure of setting a bone too many times (mainly because of the tweebs, Kim's twin brothers) for her not to know. Kim took Shego's hand and squeezed with all of her might as she willed the tears to stay away. Shego flinched.
Kim managed to squeak out, "When?"
"Tomorrow morning," Dr. Payne replied.
Kim looked at Shego, clearly trying to hold back her tears but struggling miserably. She wanted the other girl to say something that would get her out of the coming procedure, but her prayres were not answered.
However, Shego did speak. "I'll be here for you, Kim," she whispered in the red head's ear. Shego held Kim's hand long after Dr. Payne left. Dr. Possible stayed to help comfort her duaghter. She thought, 'You'll get through this, Kimmie. I hope...'
Kim cried herself into a restless sleep.

i've never had a broken bone before (knock on wood that it never happens); i'm just going by how i would probalby react if i found out i had to have a bone set, so please don't get mad at me if this chapther didn't turn out the way you expected. besides, i'm only looking at it from the patient's perspective, not the doctor's.
