KP - All Grown Up?
AN: I got this idea after hearing Drakken say "My Teenage Foe" once too many times on the music CD. I wondered what he would say if they weren't teens? This is that story, with a twist.
Chapter 14: Daddy's Home!
(Drakken's Lair)
The sight of the corridor that was before them was incredible. For what had once be like any other corridor in Drakken's lair was now a scene of destruction.
The walls were crumbling and the lights would randomly, if just barely flicker on and off. The scene was very much as if a bomb had just gone off but Kim, Ron and Jesse had been close enough that if a bomb had gone off. Especially one capable of creating this much damage, they would have felt it but they hadn't so they wondered just what did cause the damage.
It was so dark that they couldn't see to far except for the lighting from the still functioning ceiling lights in the undamaged corridor leading up to the damaged one.
Kim says softly, "Oh no... W-what happened here?" with Jesse softly saying, "No... Mindy... How could you...?"
Kim says, "What? Are you saying one of our daughters did this?" to Jesse but he remains silent as he thinks about what to say next.
Ron starts to walk into the dark corridor and cups his hands to his face before he starts to shout, "Shego! Girls! Answer me!"
Kim starts to walk forward and joins Ron at his side with Jesse moving up to her other side and they all call for them but there is no response from anyone.
They continue to call out as loud as they can, pausing every so often to listen for something, anything. A moan, a groan, a reply, but they were met with silence.
The silence was starting to really make everyone uneasy but they pressed on carefully with the only light from the Kimmunicator that Jesse carried in his hand. The range was limited as it was spread as wide as the corridor so that they wouldn't miss anyone no matter where they were.
They notice that the destruction was getting worse and worse as they got further and further into the corridor and so they suspected that they were getting closer to where the girls and Shego were probably going to be.
As they get closer, the three of them grow more nervous about what they might find. Kim and Ron were very worried about their daughters while Jesse was worried about them and as well for the parents because he was worried about the shock triggering Kim and force her to go into labor.
Just then, there was a very low moan and Jesse sharpens the light to the source and they find Shego!
She was unconscious and she had apparently been blasted with something but her gloves had taken the brunt of whatever had happened because they existed as nothing but scraps of material. Her clothes were also damaged as there were tears and rips all over it but it seemed to be as if they'd been cut by something else.
Seeing the state of Shego, Kim and Ron call out for the girls even louder than before with Jesse sweeping the corridor with a long beam of light from the Kimmunicator.
Kim spots something during one of the sweeps and tells Jesse to go back. He turns the light back and comes to rest upon the foot of someone.
Kim, Ron and Jesse run towards the foot with the beam from the Kimmunicator growing wider as they got closer. The three of them come to a stop when the light reveals CS and Mindy laying on their backs and unconscious.
Kim couldn't help it but tears start to flow from her eyes as she kneels down by CS and Ron kneels by Mindy with Jesse standing to provide light for the two of them while using the Kimmunicator to also check their signs.
Jesse thinks, "Why do I get the feeling this is all your fault Mindy?" He softly sighs as he gets the feeling that he is right as the Kimmunicator confirms what Kim and Ron find out, which is that the girls are all right but unconscious.
Jesse says with relief in his voice, "Looks like everyone's ok. Let's try to wake them up."
Kim shakes the one she knows as CS and during one of her shakes she says, "Cindy! If you don't wake up right now..." She is surprised when Cindy moans a "Five more mins...mother..."
Kim smiles and shakes the teen again, "Come, wake up sleepyhead!" With tears still coming down her cheeks but this time they were tears of joy.
Ron says, "Are you ok?" to Mindy as she starts to stir. He runs his fingers through her short hair that covered her face a little before he starts to help her sit up.
Kim starts to help Cindy up as well, at almost the same time Ron is and she says, "Are you ok? Are you able to walk?"
Cindy is still a little dazed as she says, "Y-yeah... I think I can walk." before she looks at Kim and says, "Mother! Did you find him?"
Cindy looks around and spots her Father helping Mindy sit up and she cries out, "You found him! You found Father!" She hugs her Mother while smiling even though she found parts of herself sliding through the hologram where she hugged too tightly.
Mindy hears the word "Father" and that snaps her awake. She opens her eyes and sees her Father looking down at her with concern on his face she can feel his gentle hand upon her back as he helped her.
Mindy cries out, "Father! You're all right! I'm so happy!" and she then suddenly wraps her arms around his neck and buries her face into his shoulder, crying.
Ron doesn't know what to do with the teenage girl crying into his shoulder so he just rubs her back in the most comforting way the he'd always found Kim liked to be rubbed and he softly says, "There... there... everything's ok now. Your Mother and I are here with Jesse and don't worry, Shego's unconscious."
At the mention of Shego's name, Mindy sits straight up and looks around with an angry look on her face. She says, "Where is she?"
Ron says, "Young lady, you forget about Shego! She's no longer a threat and besides we still have to hurry out of Drakken's lair before he sends some henchmen and captures all of us."
Mindy seems to cool her heels as she says, "Sorry Father, you're right..." She then gets up to her feet along with Ron standing up alongside her.
Kim and Cindy were already on their feet with Jesse still holding the Kimmunicator. He says, "We better hurry... I think Mr. Stoppable is right. Drakken will be sending someone to check on Shego and I don't think he'll be too happy with the way his lair looks.
Kim says, "Do you have a layout for Drakken's lair in this time within the Kimmunicator?" to Jesse.
Jesse says, "Yes, I believe I do." He then punches a few buttons before a small hologram appears in the air just above the screen. He then says, "I think this is the most quickest route out of here." He points and a trail in red, starting from where they stood shows up as it heads to the exit.
Kim says, "Let's go then." She turns to face that way when suddenly there is a beeping from the Kimmunicator.
Jesse frowns as he says, "Uh-Oh, looks like Drakken's henchmen are coming up to check on Shego. We better hurry on up before they catch us."
Mindy says, "I'd just like to see them TRY to take away our Father from us again." Her voice was in a challenging tone and there was no doubt in anyone's head that she wasn't going to let anyone take her Father away from her family again.
Cindy sighs and says, "Mindy, this isn't the time for that! Let's go before we have to get into another fight!"
Mindy frowns and says, "Yeah, I know... I just don't want to lose our Father again."
Kim says, "Girls, I know how you feel. Believe me, I love Ron dearly too but we really should get out of here now."
Jesse says, "Mrs. Stoppable, I think I've found the best way out of here and it'll let us have a little payback to Drakken at the same time."
Everyone looks at the little hologram and they nod in agreement. So they start off down the corridor to escape.
Shortly after they leave, some henchmen and a pair of synthos show up and discover Shego just beginning to wake up.
Shego says, "Where are those teenage girls?" to the henchman as she stands up on her own, ignoring the offered hand in assistance.
The henchman says, "I don't know, you're the only one we've found so far. I also have news that Kim Possible's partner has escaped as well."
Shego lights up her hands and with the corridor dark as it was, her green flaming hands cast an eerie glow over her and the rest of the men standing there. She says, "Well go find them then! Don't worry about me, I am fine!"
The henchmen and synthos take off to follow Shego's orders while Shego heads off to where she knew Drakken would be.
Shego thinks, "Those kids were really something else." As she looks around and sees the damage caused. She continues to think, "Who knew that girl's power and mine could cause all this damage?"
Shego recalls how the fight was going and when she jumped back to give herself enough room to blast at the girls, she remembers how the longer-haired girl had yelled even as the one called Mindy raised her hands at the same time.
The next thing Shego remembered was how her blasts shoot out of her hands with Mindy doing something with those freaky blue powers of hers that seemed to cause some sort of explosion the moment the blasts struck Mindy's own returning blasts.
Shego was certain that Mindy seemed to be just as surprised as she was when their powers collided to create that bright explosion. She saw that her gloves were ruined as well as her clothes but aside from that she had to wonder why she was ok.
Shego thought, "Maybe... her powers are natural like mine and when they struck, it knocked us out and destroyed everything else not so natural." She guessed that would explain the condition of the corridor since it was all man-made, even her gloves had been specially made to handle her plasma powers.
Shego gets into an elevator and heads towards her room for a quick change. After all, she didn't want to show up looking as ragged as she did.
After a quick change of clothes and new gloves, she heads back to the main room where Drakken was and discovers to her shock that Kim and the others were already there and escaping through one of the emergency escape pods!
Shego looks and also notices that the self-destruct for the place was activated! She sighs and thinks, "When is Drakken going to learn not to make the destruct button so easy to find?"
Drakken was rubbing his jaw while laying on his back, having fallen over his chair, which had been behind him when he'd been punched obviously. He spots Shego and shouts, "Shego! Over here! We have got to get out of here before the base blows up!"
Shego picks up her boss off the floor and says, "Gee? You think? I would never have know that!" in a sarcastic tone of voice.
Drakken grumbles something and then once he is on his feet, he says, "Kim Possible, she thinks she's all that... but her kids are."
For once, Shego had to agree with Drakken but she certainly wasn't going to let him know that so she remains quiet and they escape together in the same escape pod.
(Later at Monique's)
Ron, Jesse, Cindy, and Mindy walk through the door to Monique's house and Kim is the first one to greet them a warm welcome back. She grabs Ron right on the spot and gives him a big, passionate kiss right there in the living room with everyone watching!
Even after the young kids go "Ew! Yuck! Momma's kissing Daddy!" Kim still doesn't stop kissing him until she feels the fire burning in her lungs that told her she needed air, and even then she reluctantly releases him.
No one else had voiced anything during the kiss, and just about everyone was smiling, even Kim's parents who had seen the kiss.
Once Ron steps back from Kim though, the young kids ran up towards the two of them and cried out, "Daddy! You're home!" The two of them grab at his legs and cling onto his pants.
Ron looks down at the two young kids, they were so young to him and he looks at Kim with a questioning look. She smiles and nods to him before she says, "Yes, they're ours too..." with a blush in her cheeks, making them look a little bit rosy to him.
Ron kneels down and smiles as he ruffles the hair on both the boy and the girl's heads as they try to cling on to him. He then says, "Yeah, Daddy's home and he's not going anywhere."
Jesse looks at Cindy and says, "Hey CS, isn't it great? Your Father's home." He places a hand gently on her shoulder and she looks at him with a tear in her eye, as she says, "Yes… I'm so happy. Thank you for helping rescue him Jesse."
Even Mindy comes up to Jesse and says, "Thank you for saving Father." The three of them hug while the kids laugh and babble at their father. And Kim watches on with the biggest smile on her face.
No one in the room could imagine a more beautiful sight than the one of which Kim watching her children laugh and play with Ron. Even the teens joined in on the fun by getting on their knees and giving him a great big hug.
Monique got her camera and took at picture with the flash off since there was enough light in the living room for a good picture. She was sure that no one would mind since the memory was a happy one.
Rufus crawls up on Ron and gives him a hug on the cheek before Ron smiles and says, "Hey there Rufus, thanks for taking such good care of Kim." To which the little naked mole ran squeaks, "No problem!" Even Rufina joins in the celebrating by hoping around from person to person and giving them all a hug.
After a few hours, the kids start to fall asleep as it was past their bedtime and Ron says, "I think it is time for you two to go to bed..."
The kids start to complain and say that they weren't sleepy but their yawns tell otherwise. Ron assures them that he'll still be there when they wake up. He takes the kids to the spare room in Monique's house and puts them together in the King sized bed that was in the room.
After a soft kiss upon their foreheads as they sleep, Ron returns out to the living room where Kim was just thanking Monique for her help and hospitality.
Monique says, "Don't worry about it, just go get some rest Kim. You and your family, past, present and future are always welcome here." She smiles and then says, "Now I think you and Ron should take the upstairs bedroom, it is the most comfortable bed that isn't claimed in the whole house."
Kim blushes as she says, "But...That means... Ron..." Monique stops her by saying, "You two are married and with kids! Trust me, I don't think even your parents will have a problem with the sleeping arrangement."
Kim looks over at her parents and they nod that it was ok, so Kim blushes a little bit more before she turns to Ron and says, "Um... Ron, do you want to go to sleep? You don't have to if you aren't tired..."
Ron takes Kim's hand into his and with a soft smile as he looks into her eyes, "I'm very tired Kim, but I don't want to go to sleep without you by my side." Kim smiles at Ron and together they leave the room.
Monique says, "You two can sleep in the pull-out couch here in the living room." She then turns to the twins and says, "I've got some sleeping bags for you guys if you want them. I'm afraid I'm out of beds unless you want to share a bed with someone."
The twins think about it for a moment and then say, "I think we'll go sleep with our brother and sister."
Jesse says, "I'll just take the lazy-boy if you have some blankets I could borrow."
Monique nods and says, "Ok then, I'll just go grab some extra blankets for everyone and be right back.
Monique goes to where her family keeps a big assortment of blankets. She goes up to where Kim and Ron were and finds them already fast asleep cuddled up next to each other. She places a blanket over them both to keep them warm before she heads down.
Monique makes sure that everyone is comfortable and has enough blankets before she head off to her room to sleep. She thinks, "Kim is sure lucky to have such a big and loving family." as she lies down and pulls the covers up over her. Just before she falls asleep she wonders if Kim will want to even return to her normal teenage life after all this.
AN: Well everyone, I hope you liked this chapter!Now that you know what happened with Shego and the twins, tell me, what do you think? I wonder what you all think of what happened afterwards when they all returned to Monique's. I thought the little kid's reactions were quite on the spot. If you were Kim and had such a cool family around you, would you want go back to be a single teenager with no kids? Did you all like how Monique was in this chapter? Did you all like how Team Stoppable was in this chapter? Anyway, be prepared for more cool stuff in the coming chapters!
