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 18: Old Dreams Start, New Dreams Begin

(Drakken's Lair)

After Wade had left, everyone just stood there pondering Wade's words for a few moments before anyone is able to say anything. Mr. Possible says, "You're sure you've taken all the precautions you could, Drew?"

Drakken nods and says, "Yes! How many times must I say it! I've taken all the precautions possible! If I hadn't, then Shego would have really hurt me!"

Shego nods as she says, "Dr. D. is right about that. I would have."

Mrs. Possible says, "I have a question... what is the chance of error that this won't work Drew?"

Drakken growls, "Is it too much to be called Drakken? That's my name now! Not Drew!"

Mrs. Possible says, "Sorry, I'll call you Drakken if you can just answer my question."

Drakken says, "The chance of error is about 1.89 percent. It is not a very high chance."

Mrs. Possible seems to think for a second before she then says, "What will happen if she does fall into that error margin?"

Drakken gulps a little nervously as he glances at Mrs. Possible and then at Shego who also wanted to hear the answer.

Drakken says, "Well, I'm not completely sure to be honest..." He still looks back and forth at the to women, backing up a little before he looks at Kim and Ron's curious faces. Something about the look on their faces makes him stand his ground and decide to finish his answer.

Drakken says, "If they fall into the 1.89 percent category... then a number of things could happen. From them not changing back at all with them staying in their bodies permanently to the very worse case scenario in which they totally cease to exist..." He looks at everyone and wonders if he will get hurt for what he said.

Drakken is surprised when nothing is said, and no one approaches him to hurt him. He looks at Kim Possible's parents and they are holding their hands as they look at Kim and Ron. He wonders what is going through their mind as the two who he knew as his teenage arch-foes looked at each other with an expression that he didn't recognize upon their faces. He even turns to look at Shego and for a change, she didn't look threatening but more like concerned for the two.

Drakken is shocked once he realizes that Shego actually IS concerned for the two teens-now-adults and his brain fails to wrap itself around that fact as he'd always assumed that Shego never really cared for anyone but now that the fact is in his face he begins to wonder if Shego can or does really care about anyone else.

Before he can ponder too much about this, his thoughts are interrupted when Kim says to Ron, "Ron... Honey... you know I love you more than life itself, right?"

Ron softly squeezes Kim's hand in his and his eyes never leave hers as he gazes into hers before he says, "I know KP..." He then stops and realizes something before he continues on, "I mean, KS... I love you too more than anything else in the world too."

Kim's parents just stand there when Monique comes in through the door and sees everyone but the kids. She is wondering why Kim and Ron are giving each other the "I love you so much" look with everyone else just standing around and watching.

Monique arrives with Ron's parents right behind her. The three of them walk up to Kim's parents and Monique whispers, "What's going on?"

Mr. Possible says, "Our grandchildren have returned to the future with future Wade..." with Mrs. Possible finishing by saying, "Drakken just told us the risks involved. If Kim and Ron fall into the 1.89 percent, then anything from them being stuck as adults to their ceasing to exist could happen."

Mrs. Stoppable whispers to her husband, "Look honey... Doesn't our Ronald look so grown up beside Kimberly?"

Mr. Stoppable looks at the to of them and whispers back, "You're right, they do look all grown up."

The four parents and Monique watch Kim and Ron softly talk to each other with Drakken and Shego just standing around doing nothing but watch as well.

After a little while Kim and Ron turn as one, still holding hands before Kim says, "Drakken... we've decided."

Drakken says, "Finally! Now get ready! This probably won't hurt a bit!" as he starts to reach for the device on the table.

Kim says, "Wait Drakken!" which makes him pause and he says in a bit of an angry tone, "Now what! We probably don't have much time left before your children are born you know!"

Ron says, "Drakken... Shego, if we do remember this... Kim and I have decided that in the future, you two will be godparents to one of our twins."

Everyone in the room is shocked by the announcement! There is a long moment of silence in the room before Drakken starts to say, "W-Wh-WHAT? Did you just say what I thought you said?" He then turns to Shego and says, "Shego! Tell them that is the most absurd idea you've ever heard!"

Everyone's eyes turn to Shego and then their eyes grow wide as the signs of a person knowing something become obvious. Shego says, "Well... Dr. D, it isn't such a far fetched idea..."

Drakken shouts, "What are you talking about Shego! The very notion that we'd be responsible for our arch-nemesis's children!" He starts to sputter nonsense words as he becomes overwhelmed emotionally until Shego walks over and grabs his lips, silencing him.

Shego says, "Actually Dr. D, I already knew about this. So I wasn't totally surprised."

Drakken tries to talk through his lips which are still pinned together by her fingers but it is obvious that he is trying to say, "What are you talking about Shego?" which comes out as "Bhat r u alkng bot heg'?"

Shego releases his lips and wipes her fingers along the pant leg of her outfit before she says, "Remember when I took off Stoppable's ring?" This makes Drakken frown and tap his chin in thought.

Shego continues as if he never started to do that and turns towards Ron, "Your ring has an inscription on it and it is from me."

Ron looks surprised as he'd forgotten all about her taking off his ring until that very moment. He pulls off his ring and says, "I don't believe it! Look KP!" He leans towards Kim and shows her the inscription, which she reads out loud, "This ring is courtesy of the godparent to CS and MS, Shego. May your marriage last forever."

Everyone is stunned absolutely speechless, including Drakken! No one is able to say anything for like the absolutely longest time while Shego just looks a bit embarrassed by all the silence and everyone's eyes just staring at her.

Kim is the first to be able to speak and says, "I don't think we could have made a better choice, do you Ron?" She says it with a small smile that only serves to make Shego blush and with her green skin, it became a darker green on her cheeks.

Ron nods as he says, "You're right KS, Shego will be a good godmother to them."

Kim's parents and Ron's parents were staring at their children in total disbelief that they'd said that about someone who had fought them both and even tried to kill them!

Mrs. Possible says, "Are you sure about this honey? Making Shego a godmother to them?"

Before Kim can answer, her eyes go wide and she moans, "Oh... No!"

Mrs. Possible is by her daughter's side in a flash and she says, "What's wrong honey?"

Kim says, "The babies... my water just broke!"

Everyone in the room knew what that meant, the babies were coming! Shego ran over just as the rest of the parents and Monique ran to Kim's side.

Kim starts to do some lazma breathing techniques while everyone helps her over to one of the chairs in Drakken's lair. She sits down and holds on tight to Ron's hand as she continues to breathe.

Kim pauses to say, "Hurry up... and zap us..." She looks up at Ron who looks at Shego and nods in agreement. Everybody steps back from Kim and Ron so as to not be affected by the device Drakken was going to use on Kim and Ron.

Drakken runs over to the worktable and picks it up quickly before running back over to where Kim and Ron are. He says, "Are you sure? I'm not sure what will happen with them being coming right now." He looks scared and he glances back and forth between Kim and Shego.

Kim looks at Shego and then at Drakken before she grips Ron's hand very tightly as a painful contraction hits her. She says through gritted teeth, "Do it! I want my babies to be born to a happy future!"

Everyone around Kim gives each other the look in the eyes and they all nod to each other before they get to Shego and Drakken. Since Shego is the last person, Drakken looks at her and when she nods too, he takes a deep breath and presses the "Return" button that is supposed to turn Kim and Ron back to normal and send the babies back to where they belong in the future.

Then when everything clears, Kim is sitting on the chair in Drakken's lair with Ron still holding her hand. Only now, Kim is not pregnant and she is back in her normal clothes along with Ron in his red shirt with the white stripe on the bottom in his cargo pants.

Everyone released their long-held breath that no one had realized that they'd been holding during the tense time of when Kim starting to give birth!

Kim's eyes were closed as well as Ron's, which made since they didn't know what to expect with everything happening so crazy at that moment.

When Kim opens her eyes she looks up and the first thing she sees is Ron. She smiles and says loudly, "We're ok!" She sits up and pulls Ron down into her lap where she gives him a big hug!

Ron blushes redly and looks at Mr. Possible as he remembers the "Black hole deep" thing that her father told before. For some reason he couldn't remember why, but he felt that it was ok to be where he was right now.

Kim looks up and sees her parents, Ron's parents, Monique as well as Drakken and Shego looking at her with curiosity on their faces.

Kim eeps and practically throws Ron off her lap while blushing redly. She says, "D-dad, it isn't what you think... Ron and I were..." She stops as she frowns, trying to remember just why the two of were happy to be all right.

Mrs. Possible says, "It is ok Kimmie-cup, everything is fine." She hugs her husband from the side who just then starts to chuckle as the two teens look confused. However the chuckling is infectious and soon everyone but Kim and Ron are laughing!

Epilogue

Drakken and Shego had let everyone go without so much as a threat, which puzzled Kim and Ron as they felt very foggy. Both Kim and Ron felt like that were trying to remember something but it felt so difficult to remember the past day and the parts that they did remember were coming to them in bits and pieces which also didn't make sense to either of them.

Kim and Ron were sitting in the living room with Monique while the parents were talking in the kitchen about something that sounded like it was very important.

Kim says, "Monique, just what was everyone doing in Drakken's lair? What were we doing in his lair?"

Monique says, "What's the last thing you remember clearly?"

Ron says, "I remember we went to stop him after he stole something from a toy company..." He stops to scratch the top of his head before he continues, "I think we busted into his lair without too much problem like usual and then... it gets kinda hazy after that."

Kim looks at Ron and says, "I remember the same thing and it gets kinda hazy for me too, like something happened... something big but I can't recall what."

Monique looks at the door for a moment and then leans forward to whisper, "I probably shouldn't do this... but here's a moment from your day that you can't remember." She pulls out the photo that she'd taken earlier and shows it to them.

Rufus crawls up onto Ron's shoulder to take a look and squeaks a "Cool!"

Kim and Ron could not believe their eyes as they stared at the photograph which showed an adult and very pregnant Kim smiling as she watched an adult Ron apparently being overwhelmed by a large group of kids. There were apparently two small children that looked very, very familiar to the two of them as well as three teenagers. Two of the teenagers also looked so familiar to Kim and Ron that they both felt as if the names were on the tips of their tongues but for some reason they found that they were unable to say them.

What Kim and Ron couldn't figure out is how Monique got such a picture where it showed such a mind-blowing scene! Kim looked at Ron who looked back at her at the same time with a question that they both wanted to know but were afraid to ask since in the photo, it also showed a wedding ring on Kim's hand.

Just then the Kimmunicator beeps and she whips it out quickly but somehow she felt that it should be smaller, more sleeker and advanced somehow. She even felt like she'd seen a vision of how it was supposed to look but that only happened for a second before she pressed the button and Wade's face shows up.

Wade says, "Kim! Ron! You two are back to normal! I just checked and it seems like the time stream is back to normal."

Kim looks at Monique who has a sly smile on her face before she says, "What was wrong with the time stream Wade? What's this about us being back to normal?"

Wade's smiling face disappears as he says, "You don't remember... that means you don't even remember little Connie..." He quickly shuts up after that and closes the connection.

Kim tries to get Wade back but he seems to be stubbornly refusing to answer any of her calls while Monique thinks "Smooth Wade... real smooth, you mention one of her children's names after she has apparently forgotten them."

Monique is surprised when Kim shakes says to the Kimmunicator while pressing the button that is supposed to connect her to Wade but the screen remains dark, "Wade! Come on! I want to know what happens to Connie and Ronnie!"

Ron says, "Yeah, I want to know what happened to Cindy and Mindy too!" while trying to help Kim get Wade back.

A moment later Wade's picture comes back onto the screen and he says, "Hey guys... I'm sorry that I bailed on you two like that. I needed to recheck something involving the time stream and it couldn't wait."

Kim frowns as she says, "What happened to Connie and Ronnie?" with Ron pushing his face into the mini-camera's view to say, "And what happened to Cindy and Mindy? And the babies?"

Wade is shocked that they remembered and after a moment he says carefully, "You guys... remember?"

Kim smiles softly before she says, "I don't remember everything that happened Wade, but I do remember making a promise and I intend to keep it."

Ron says, "Yeah, like we could ever forget our children..." He pauses as he looks at Kim and says, "That's right! We have children KS!" He blinks while blushing red and says, "Er... um, I mean KP."

Kim is blushing a bit red herself but there is a definite smile on her face that Monique knows as "I like being called Stoppable." Even if she didn't come right out and say it to him.

Kim says, "That's ok Ron... we end up that way, I think... but not for some time, yet." This makes Ron keep blushing and he is still blushing as he says, "Yeah... KP, someday... maybe... who knows?" With Rufus putting his tiny paw on his forehead and shaking his head as if he was thinking "Oh Brother!"

Wade watches all of this before he says, "Ok..." before he decides to get back to her original question. He says to them, "Well, as far as I know all your children are safe Kim. Connie, Ronnie, Mindy, Cindy as well as..." He pauses as he frowns and mutters, "That's weird... I don't remember seeing this data before. I wonder..."

Kim, Ron and Monique lean in to listen before Monique says, "Hey Wade, spill it already!" This makes him hop in his seat before he says, "The names of the babies are Logan and Morgan!" He then takes a breath and says, "Two perfectly healthy fraternal twins."

Kim's eyes start to fill with tears as she says, "My babies are ok... They're ok Ron!" and she suddenly gives him a big, joyous hug which is returned by an equally happy Ron. Ron says, "I'm happy too KP! Our future and children are once again safe!"

Monique smiles as she watches and wishes she had her camera with her for this scene. She then jokes, "Hey, if they're called Morgan and Logan, does this mean that they're "More Stoppable" and "Low Stoppable" than before?"

Kim and Ron stop and give Monique such a look for the joke. This makes Monique chuckle softly and say, "Can't you two take a joke?"

Just then Kim and Ron start to laugh, with Wade following and even Monique joins in. Their laughing gets to be so loud that the adults hear it in the kitchen.

Mrs. Possible smiles at the sound of laughter and says, "It is so good to hear them laughing after all they've been through."

Mrs. Stoppable nods and smiles, "Yes, but now we'll have to make sure that we're prepared for the day when they marry."

Mr. Stoppable says, "Yes, but we shouldn't do anything to push them into marriage before they're ready or our grandkids may not be born.

Mr. Possible says, "I agree and lets not speak of their future selves again if we can help it. The last thing we need to do is influence any decisions. I believe we should just let things happen naturally as if this whole thing never happened."

They all agree that they would all never speak of this ever again until the future was the present or however one decided to think about it. All this time talk was starting to give Mrs. Stoppable a headache.

(In the future)

Wade smiles as he watches from his Time Viewer which looked much like a old-fashioned TV and he says, "I'm glad to see everything worked out just fine in the end..." before he turns it off and heads out of the lab to see Ronnie chasing his little sister around the living room under the watchful eye of his wife.

Wade thinks as he watches, "I've got to keep an eye on her. I bet she'll be a handful for her parents when she grows up..."

Clarise walks up to him with their own daughter in her arms and says, "I'm going to put her down for a nap. Will you watch them for me sweety?"

Wade nods as he looks at the young child in her arms and smiles at the sight of her before he says, "Sure, I'll watch them until you get back."

Clarise smiles and leans to kiss him on the lips, "Thank you. I'll be back soon." She walks off and disappears down the hallway that leads to the bedrooms.

Wade sits down on a sofa and thinks, "I'm glad things are back on track. Kim and Ron had me worried there for a little while back then, but as least the only things of their future selves that stuck with them was the names of their children so nothing was put into jeopardy." He watches the kids play a videogame that was based on one of the teen Kim Possible's adventures and wonders what the future may yet bring...
