Family

I don't own Invader Zim. I leave the disturbed 'leftovers' of this show to their rightful owner, Jhonen Vasquez.

Only Deed Membrane belongs to me, as well as any future... smeets...

Chapter Fourteen

A little more than five months later, Core was walking and starting to talk. Deed was shocked at how fast the boy had grown.

Dib watched as he learned how to use one of the computers. So far he had found out so much about his son;

He had his father's eyes and was left handed.

But Core was taking quickly to the computer. And to reading Irken.

Dib sighed, considering living on Vort. He knew it was one of the most advanced technological planets in the known universe, but..

It wouldn't feel like home.

Deed was right when she said that it would be strange to leave Earth. They had left alot behind. But they had also gained alot since they left. And right now he was trying to figure out how much more they would gain.

Zim had already started talking to the ControlBrains.

And Deed's condition was starting to get slightly worse.

Core was starting to ask questions.

And Dib just couldn't wait for it to be over.


The newest Tallest Zim had indeed put Tak in charge as soon as he said that all the planets would be freed and that halfbreeds would be legal.

Paks would also be discontinued.

And Earth had been resorted to Escapia.

And the Irkens were having a bit of trouble with it.

But they'd learn... eventually.

777 hadfound Zim a rather normal place on Vort. There was anew school nearby and plenty of neighbors.

It was the perfect place to raise Core in.

Zim and Dib were discussing another child, and Deed's condition was tettering between good and bad.

Zim was a universal hero, no longer considered a defect.

And Dibwas no longer anoutcast.

GIR was even getting upgrades every month.


"So, what exactly are we going to do with another child?" Dib asked, looking at Zim as he tried to get the plumbing of the new house to work. Leave it to 777 to give them something in less than alright shape.

"Well... it would give Core something to do. And your sister has been bitching about wanting a neice before she dies." Zim countered, not looking at him as he messed with the tubes under the kitchen sink. "Try it now."

Dib got up, reaching over and twisting the knob on the sink. Goo ran out of the nozzel, but it looked pretty normal compared to the rest of the goo on the planet.

Zim sputtered under the sink, sitting up to prove that he'd been drenched. Dib laughed as he turned it off.

"Would us having a girl be that bad?" Dib asked, watching as the alien went back under the sink. "Other than the fact that she might now grow to be half our size, no."

Dib watched him, wondering faintly what was the problem with Irken females... "Hadn't the first Tallest been female?"

"Tallest Miyuki was no taller than your sister. This was all back when the men of our race were still small, and females were more common." Dib nodded his head, looking at his partner as the man sat up and stared down at his clothing. "Dammit."

Zim stood, pulling his shirt off and glaring at the sink. Dib smirked at his information on Tallest Miyuki. "Of course, you would probably know that."

Zim stared at him, raising an eye ridge and an antenna. "Youwere responsible for the downfall of four Tallests."

"You want to keep your repoductive organs?" Zim asked, glaring at him. Dib smiled, holding back a laugh.

"Would it even be possible for us to have a daughter?" Dib asked, following him out of the kitchen and into their bedroom. He was thankful that Deed had taken Core out to meet their new neighbors. Dib blinked as he walked into their dark room, looking around for Zim.

"We'll have to find out, won't we?" Zim asked, closing the door and trapping them both in darkness. Dib smirked.

"I suppose we will."
