Shego took his hand which made Drakken jump inside. Shego had never done this before.
"You may want to sit down."
'Uh-oh.'
Even Drakken, the most thick person when it came to women. But he knew something was bad. And this was much worse than bad if that even made sense. He took a seat as Shego continued to hold his hand. She away from him and sighed, "The baby"
"What about him?"
Shego gave a staggered sigh and then tried, "H-He is—"
She couldn't do it.
Drakken's face was full of hope and so much joy. 'How can I break this to him?' Shego glanced down and noticed they were still holding hands. Instantly she let go and felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. She wanted someone to wake her up from this horrible nightmare.
"What is it?" Drakken noticed that Shego's eyes were misty.
"N-Nothing." She said trying to push his concern away.
Shego could hear a scream from the distance. A mother was having her infant's ears pierced. The child could be heard crying in attempt to stop the pain. Anyone would've known that baby was suffering and hating everyone moment of it.
"Monster." Shego muttered to herself as the crying became louder.
If there was one thing Shego had a soft spot for right now, it was children. Villain or not, they were just so darn cute; like a little bud waiting to blossom into a doctor, a police officer, or maybe a teacher.
'If I was a mother, I'd be a good mother. I'd give my kids the right diet and the right discipline. I'd teach them the stuff they'd need to know and I'd never make them pierce their ears. I'd even let them lick the cookie dough off the spoons.' Shego thought as her frown turned into a grimace.
"Shego," Drakken faced her, "I know something is wrong. Can't you tell me what it is?"
Shego looked frozen in her seat. She looked almost scared in a freakish way. For all the years he knew Shego, he knew two things for sure: She was ruthless and she was fearless. The only thing that was moving on her was her hands which twisted uneasily in her lap. She was trying to sanitize the hand that had held that of her boss.
Drakken was beginning to fret. Shego never was this down. She looked near crying, something was definitely not right. He reached for her hand to comfort her but she pulled away. She was shaking like crazy.
"Shego--"
Shego's hands curled into two fists and she stood up not really attaining any balance. She almost fell over.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH?" She yelled.
Heads spun around and doctors peered out of the offices and shrugged. Patients looked at them with a new dawning of interest. Nothing remotely interesting happened in the doctor's office except the occasional hold-up by some want-to-be-big-shot villains.
Drakken gulped and nodded.
Shego growled then cried, "THE BABY IS GOING TO DIE!"
Shego couldn't look at Drakken anymore. Drakken didn't say a word. He couldn't think of one. Shego breathed and then noticed people returning to their business pretending as if they hadn't noticed a thing. She placed her head into her heads humiliated by her outburst. Drakken noticed tears escape her hands.
Suddenly Shego felt like she couldn't be in the same room anymore. Here she was, with a man she didn't love, pregnant, and announcing publicly her baby was going to die. She couldn't stand here any longer in this goddamned office. She let her feet carry her as fast as she could go out the door.
Drakken knew right then and there, she didn't want him to follow her.
'I'm going to have to do some hard thinking.'
