Chapter 6 – Two of a Kind, One in the Same
The wedding was just minutes away as everyone gathered in the main hall, it wasn't at a church but a government building that was set up similarly to a church with long wooden benches with breaks every couple dozen feet or so all arranged in a circle to view the front. It was one of the few government buildings to serve the purpose of weddings in the off chance the couple didn't want or couldn't use a church for whatever reason. And of course, Kim's name and reputation came in handy as she had saved the Governor of Colorado from something or another that let her and Shego have their wedding at this building, which was not only the only one in Colorado, but was also the biggest in the United States as it had a capacity for about two-thousand people, plus media and their cameras.
Which was coming quite in handy as Kim and Shego decided to allow the media to cover the wedding. It was a point of contention between the two and their families, but as Kim pointed out to her parents, it allowed for all sorts of angles to be covered in case the photographers couldn't do so themselves. Not to mention camera angles for future videos as one of the conditions to letting the media in was the raw footage for the couple's use, plus all rights to said footage. Another benefit of course, at Shego's 'demands' to be put onto the world news in a wedding dress, was the money. They were getting paid a total of one-million dollars from all the news networks that were covering the wedding. This was a point of contention between Kim and Shego, but given their financial situation Kim relented, but only because three-fourths of it was going into a retirement account with a tenth going into a college fund for future kids and the rest for themselves. They hadn't talked about how they were going to get kids, but Kim had a very good idea on that when the time came.
Hego, Mego and the Wegos were all there on the bride's side of the benches all wearing suits with a blue shirt for Hego, purple for Mego and red for the Wegos. Beth was sitting next to them wearing a white dress suit. Hego had a look on his face like he didn't want to be there with Beth scolding him as the media were filming them.
On the groom side sat Kim's grandmother, Nana, in a light tan dress suit. Alongside her were Jim and Tim, with Tim wearing a red shirt and Jim an olive-green shirt.
Drakken, aka Drew Lipskey was wearing a blue suit while Amy was wearing a yellow dress.
"Hey Drew." James said, walking down to greet him, wearing a light grey suit. "Nice to see you gave up a life of villainy!"
"Hey James." Drakken smiled. "And its, Dr. Lipskey now, finally finished my Ph. D." He smiled.
"In horticulture, right?" James asked.
"Yes. Turns out I have quite the green thumb… so to speak." Drakken replied.
"And you're not blue anymore." James observed.
"Thanks to this little genius here." Drakken smiled, leaning over towards Amy who giggled.
Kim's dressing room
Kim was in her dressing room looking over her dress again with Monique, who had gotten done checking on Shego one last time.
Kim looked in the full-length mirror again and loved her appearance, heck, she was getting turned on by her appearance. She was wearing a full length pink v-neck dress that exposed more cleavage than she normally had, mainly for Shego, while a spaghetti strap to hold it up. The dress was a little longer than Kim was tall as it trailed behind her, while also having a slit down the front for her to walk easily into. She was also wearing black heeled shoes as another way of showing that she was the 'groom' as she and Shego decided that and that Shego would be in white to show her status as the 'bride', anything more was only between each woman and dress designer, Monique.
Her hair was curled rather than straight and remained its old red natural color from a foot and a half from her scalp down to the normal knee length while neon-pink and black at the top. People asked if she was going to dye her hair to its new colors to match Shego's, but she opted not to as she wanted the pictures and videos to show where in her life she and Shego got married. Plus, it was a blend of her past and future self in that moment. And she was proud of it and her pale-pink skin pigmentation.
"Girl, you look fabulous!" Monique cried out. Monique was wearing a deep purple dress with gold bracelets as well as purple dress shoes as well as having her back-length black hair styled in curls as well.
"You think so?" Kim nervously asked, looking down at her appearance without the mirror this time before looking back up at Monique.
"I know so!" Monique replied, putting her hands on her hips. "You're going to knock Shego onto the floor with this!"
"Shouldn't that happen after the reception." Kim joked.
Monique shook her head with slightly laughing before responding. "I swear that girl has taken away your innocence."
Kim merely smirked as she applied the black lipstick to her lips.
Monique then checked her phone after it chimed. "Oooh, my date's here!" She cried out.
"You brought a date?" Kim asked.
"Mhm." Monique replied.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Kim said. "Unless you're Shego!"
"Hey Kim." Wade said, wearing a nice black suit with white dress shirt, followed by a whistle at both women. Wade was surprisingly taller than he had been in Kim's senior year of high school, and not as large but was still a bit on the heavy side, though more muscles than before.
"Hey hansom." Monique said, taking the whistle as her hello.
"Wait!" Kim said. "Wade's your date?!"
"Mhm." Monique replied. "He asked, I agreed."
Wade merely blushed.
"Ron here? I wanted to say hi before taking my seat." Wade said.
"Yeah, I think he's out in the main hall entrance room." Kim said.
"Thanks, catch you latter girls." Wade said before taking his leave.
After the door closed behind him, Kim turned towards Monique. "You and Wade?! I thought he was 'too young'!" She hissed.
"What can I say?" Monique said, shrugging. "The man's a genius that knew how to get my heart, without manipulation."
"Spill!" Kim hissed again, though interrupted by a knock and opening by her mom.
"Hey Bubble-butt!" Ann said, wearing a blue dress with matching shoes.
"Mom" Kim cried out, still embarrassed that she was twenty-one and still being called that.
"You may be getting married in a few minutes, but you'll always be my little girl." Ann smiled, hugging Kim one last time before her father 'gave her away'.
"Thanks mom." Kim replied, before a knock at the door interrupted the moment. "Come in, unless you're Shego."
The door opened to reveal Kim's dad. "We're starting." He smiled.
"You ready?" Ann asked James.
"No…" James admitted. "I don't like giving up what I care about… especially my only daughter…"
"Dad." Kim slowly said, before hugging him. "We'll visit every week."
"Promise?" James asked, trying to hold back the tears.
"Promise." Kim smiled, picking up her bouquet of pale-green and black roses.
Shego's Dressing Room – about a minute earlier
Shego looked herself over one last time after applying her black lipstick. She was wearing a full-length lime-green dress that was longer in the back to trail behind her, unbeknownst to Shego, much like Kim's dress. The spaghetti string holding it up as she admired how much her cleavage was exposed to drive her Kimmie wild. To finish her appearance off, she also wore white dress shoes that she couldn't wait to kick off as they felt like they were crushing her toes, not to mention she hated the heels as she had gotten used to her boots' thick heels. She had thought about wearing boots until she realized it wouldn't look right as she went bare legged and she didn't have white boots.
Damn I better not have to kick butt in these heels or I'm going to kill them! Shego steamed to herself as she fluffed her curled knee long hair.
She couldn't believe how fast the day had come. She spent the last week going crazy with only Jewels and talking to her dad on the phone to keep her sane. Which just wasn't the same to her as having someone there, and least of all not having Kim there.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Firefly?" A familiar voice asked.
"Come in!" She exclaimed quickly.
In walked Shego's dad, in full dress uniform. Though unlike previous times, he was wearing the actual Medal of Honor around his neck rather than the just the small ribbon on his chest.
Shego, ever the daddy's girl, ran to hug her dad, despite the heels she was loathing. Being careful not to mess up her or her father's outfits before looking up at him, her eyes clearly watering as she smiled.
"I'm so proud of you, Shego." Jack smiled.
"No Sheridan?" Shego asked. Inquiring as to why her father wasn't using her birthname.
"Not today, Firefly." Jack replied. "Today is all about you and Kim." He smiled.
Shego smiled, using a tissue to keep tears from ruining her black eyeliner. She didn't usually use eyeliner and even now it was barely noticeable, but she made an exception for today.
"Thanks daddy…" She said, before a knock came at the door.
"We're starting!" Ron exclaimed through the door.
"You ready?" Jack asked.
Shego nodded. "Are you?"
Jack looked shocked before regaining his composure. "I never wanted to give you up…" Jack admitted. "But knowing who I'm giving you up today, I am." He smiled.
Shego hugged her dad one last time before grabbing her bouquet of pale-pink with white roses. "Thanks dad."
"And don't tell your mother, but there was no way in hell I was going to give you up to a guy anyway." Jack joked, enjoying the laughter it brought to his daughter before taking her arm as the song Here Comes the Bride was played over the organ signaling Kim was walking out before Shego's turn.
Main hall
The sounds of clicking cameras from the media people covering the event were barely heard over sounds of the music playing as Bonnie and Ron walked down the aisle with their arms interlocked with each other.
Ron, as always, was wearing his dad's old suit. While Bonnie was wearing a navy-blue dress with blue shoes.
"I can't believe you hit me last night." Ron whispered.
"You're still on about that?" Bonnie whispered back. "Besides, you deserved it for the mental anguish you put me and Kim through."
"How many times does a guy have to apologize before he's forgiven?!" Ron hissed back.
"Talk to me later." Bonnie replied as they continued down the aisle.
The two were being led by Rufus, who was in a miniature suit of his own, which Bonnie thought was adorable when she saw it. The two parted ways to their perspective sides as the music died down to stillness as the camera clicking could be heard now as the organist began Here Comes the Bride for Kim.
Everyone turned to watch as Kim and her dad walked down the aisle, Kim smiling as she came down past everyone. Her dad barely holding it together as people who knew him best, specifically Ann and his own mother, could tell. He gave one last hug and kiss on Kim's forehead and one last mouthing "I love you" before standing next to Ann who placed her hand on his arm in support as she knew that giving Kim up for someone was the hardest thing he had ever done.
Kim stood next to Ron, who smiled at her before everyone turned one last time to see the doors open as Here Comes the Bride was played for Shego.
The cameras were flashing a lot more it seemed for Shego and her father as they came down than for Kim.
Kim was floored by Shego's appearance, even noting that even when it came to wedding dresses, they had very similar tastes.
Shego smiled at Kim, and also floored by Kim appearance.
Both women could feel their hearts beating in their mouths as Shego and her father closed the distance between them and Kim. With Kim and Shego locking eyes the whole way smiling at each other and even fighting the tears of joy that wanted to build and release from their eyes.
Shego and her father finally reached the end of the aisle, with him hugging and kissing Shego on the forehead and mouthing "I love you." Before taking his place next to Beth, who too knew giving up their only daughter was the hardest thing her husband ever had to do.
Unknown location
The German walked up the stairs of the headquarters, passed all the subordinates at their computers to find his boss watching what appeared to be a wedding. As he got closer he could see clearly that it was indeed the wedding, being covered live with no commentary for much of it, of Kim Possible and Shego.
"Oh, it's beautiful." His boss said.
He looked towards his boss, who was wearing his usual white suit but also his black cape that seemed reminiscent of Darth Vader's black cape.
"I thought you weren't into the whole romance?" He asked in his native German.
"I'm a bit of a sucker when it comes to romance, though admittedly I can't stand watching romance movies or reading the books." He replied, though in English rather than in German. "You talk to the supervillains?"
"Yes, sir." The German replied. "Though only one took to the idea."
"One is all we need." The man said before returning his gaze to the wedding.
The Wedding
Kim and Shego smiled nervously at one another as they took in the sight of their soon-to-be wife. All the emotions of the last eight years, seemingly melting away to make way for this moment as they took each other by the hand and took a step towards the officiant, a Justice from the Colorado Supreme Court. An elderly man, rumored to be retiring, had on the traditional judge robe with white hair and held a piece of paper of what was supposed to be said.
The Justice smiled. "You all may take your seats." He said to the crowd, which all promptly sat down. "We are gathered to here today, to unite these two loving women today in wedlock… I have known both women now for a mere few days, while they will have the rest of their entire lives to know the other, better than any other family member or friend will."
For his part at the 'friend' bit made him sniffle a bit.
Kim heard it and offered a reassuring smile towards her friend since Pre-k, while on the inside. Ruin this Ron and oooohhhh, you're going to get it! She thought.
"While I may have only known these two for a few days, I'm sure those who raised both these two fine women can see the sparkle in their eyes when they look at the other, when they hear their partner's name and most definitely when these two get into a bickering match with the other." The Justice added.
All the family members who had seen what Kim and Shego were like when they bickered all laughed in unison, causing both Kim and Shego to blush deeper pink and green respectively in mortification.
"But, they say that those who bicker without fighting love each other more than most of us can hope to love and those who have been joined with another for more than a couple decades will know that in time, you mellow out and when you do bicker jokingly with one another, it's a reminder that the love is still there." The Justice added.
"Honey, don't cry. You wouldn't want our Kimmie-cub to think worried about losing her."
"You know how I get at weddings, this is just harder…"
"Think about launching rockets to keep your mind off it, if it helps." Ann said.
"Oh dear." James replied, pulling out a cloth hanky to wipe away the tears that now flowed more often.
"Both women wrote separate vows for today from each other, however after reading them I found that they were exact copies of each other and both women decided recite their own part in their vows as they wish." The Justice smiled, quietly gesturing for the two to turn to face one another.
James looked envious at Jack, who seemed stoic from his time in the military. That is, until Jack turned his gaze at James and saw that he understood that both he and Jack were in the same ship together as they watched their only daughter were seconds away from being married. Which only made more tears come from James, while Jack pulled out a cloth hanky of his own from his uniform as he finally caved in keeping his appearance.
Both Kim and Shego saw their soon-to-be wife's perspective fathers start to give out as they turned towards the other, taking the other's hands. Only imagining what this was doing to their own father as both were traditional when it came to family in that when the father of the bride gave them away, it meant just that, giving away. Realizing this, both women struggled to keep their own composure as they remembered where they were and what was happening here and now despite remembering the past eight years and how they've grown both in hand-to-hand combat and now as a couple.
"I Kim/Shego, take you, Shego/Kim, to be my lawfully wedded wife." Both women said in unison.
"Despite our tendencies to bicker like little kids…" Shego said.
"And our occasional bouts in hand-to-hand sparring matches to see whose more dominate…" Kim added.
"Always ending in a draw…" Shego added, making it clear to all it was driving her nuts that they still didn't know who was better.
"I vow to love and cherish, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, through sickness and in health, for the rest of my days." Both women said in unison.
"And despite how we first met eight years ago, on this day…" Kim said.
"On different sides of the law…" Shego continued.
"With some effort…" Kim smirked.
"Through reform and love for each other." Shego added, making a mental note to kick Kim's butt later at how much she enjoyed that line.
"I take you as my wife, and hope that our love continues no matter what life throws at us and promise to not only love but also protect you." Both women said at the same time. "And as our friends and families have stated numerous times now, we are two of a kind." The tears forming in their eyes as Bonnie handed Shego her wedding band to slip onto Kim's finger and Ron handing Kim her wedding band for Shego's finger. "We are and always will be…" The two said as they slid the wedding bands on each other's fingers. "Two of a Kind, One in the Same." They finished, taking each other's hands.
The Justice smiled. "You may kiss your bride."
Kim and Shego's hearts were now beating in their mouths more than they thought ever could be possible at the jubilation they felt as now they were cementing their union with the kiss.
Kim gently grabbed Shego's cheeks, while Shego gently grabbed Kim's, a far cry from the fists they hit each other eight years ago, than no one else but they know all too well from then, as they pulled each other closer and locked into a kiss, more passionate than any that had come before this one as their hands went from each other's face to their waist. Both women pulled out of the kiss and smiled happily as the tears in their eyes finally broke their barriers and gently streamed down their faces.
"It is my great honor and pleasure to present to you all, Mrs. And Mrs. Possible!" The Justice said.
The gathered crowd stood and applauded, with each bride looking to their fathers to make sure they hadn't fainted or anything by now. Only to see they were smiling as much, if not more, than their mothers.
"I have another daughter!" Ann cried to James.
Reception
The reception was in full beat. The DJ, Brick Flagg no less, was sticking to the latest beats that weren't romance as that was up next shortly as everyone arrived to congratulate the newly wedded couple. Bonnie of all people was surprised that Flagg was a DJ in Middleton and Kim thought she'd have issues with him being the DJ at the reception. But turned out Ron's girlfriend didn't mind.
Kim and Shego were sitting at a table next to each other, with their father's standing 'guard' behind them as new arrivals who made it too late for the greeting-line found their way to them. Everyone could see it in the newly married couple's eyes that there was indeed love and adoration. The two women were also relieved not having the media here as that had been the hardest part of the wedding, especially walking down the main aisle and their vows as any slip up would have been seen by everyone.
"Alright everyone, it's time for the bride and father dance!" The Brick announced, with all eyes locking onto Kim and Shego as their fathers took them by their hands and lead them over to the dance floor with everyone backing away to let the four have their moment.
The four couldn't hear the song that was playing as they were focused on their fathers.
"I'm proud of you, Firefly." Jack said to Shego.
"Thanks dad." Shego said, using more effort than usual to refrain from using 'daddy' instead. She knew that for today, Kim wasn't going to give her crap about how such a badass woman like Shego was the stereotypical daddy's girl, else there'd be hell to pay later.
"I mean it Shego." Jack added. "You've come a long way since you ran away." He solemnly said. He could see the unintentional guilt in Shego's eyes as the words stung into her like a bee.
"Yeah… I'm sorry…" Shego tried to say, before being interrupted.
"Shh. This is your day and what's in the past should stay in the past as you have your entire future with Kim to look forward to." Jack said, smiling in reassurance.
"Yeah…" Shego said, looking over at Kim as their eyes locked onto one another.
"Not going to lie Kimmie-cub, this wasn't easy." James said to Kim.
"I still promise we'll visit every week." Kim said.
"I know… it's just… oh hell I don't know what to say." James admitted.
Kim giggled followed by a smirk at the realization that the same father who would yell at her for swearing, just swore, even though she didn't consider 'hell' all that bad as a word. "That's enough for me to know dad." Kim said, putting her father at ease as she locked onto Shego's eyes for the first time since they started dancing with their fathers. With their staring intensifying and their focus lost to the outside world until Brick made another announcement of songs.
"Alright everyone! It's now time for the happy couple for their own dance, with two songs in the mix selected by the couple to represent their love!" Brick announced.
Kim and Shego took each other in their arms, with Shego wrapping her arms around Kim's neck and Kim placing her hands on Shego's waist as Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing began
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing. Watch you smile while you are sleeping. Well you're far away dreaming. I could spend my life in this sweet surrender.
Unbeknownst to all those gathered, while it seemed like the two were just dancing quietly, Kim and Shego opened themselves to each other and used their power's indirect ability to link their bodies, Wade, one of the few trusted people aside from Kim and Shego, suspected that their nervous systems synced to allow this to happen.
You made the right call on this Shego… Kim said.
Thanks Princess, though don't think for a moment I won't fry your hot little pink ass if you mention this to anyone! Shego warned, causing Kim to giggle for all to see.
Everyone, save for Wade, Bonnie, Monique and Ron, all looked puzzled at how much the two were laughing and having tears of joy for no apparent reason other than the song being played.
I could stay lost in this moment, forever. Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure…
It was at this moment the two began picking up speed as the chorus began to play, with Kim even twirling Shego around once and a while.
Don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wnna fall asleep 'cause I'd miss you, baby. And I don't want to miss a thing.
The two danced throughout the whole song, their speed increasing and decreasing with the passage of the song. Those who knew the couple best, and their fights, knowing this was a perfect rhythm for them to dance to.
As the first song ended, the two ended with a passionate kiss. This was followed by a chorus of applauding for the two who made a beautiful display of dancing. However, the next song caused several eyebrows to rise, especially by their friends and family, who knew all too well how intense it was going to get when the two tucked the trail ends of their dresses into a hidden seam to allow for to tuck their long dresses away, and especially when they kicked off the heels they despised wearing.
Kim and Shego's friends and especially their parents all went wide eyed as they heard the thunderous beat of Demi Lovato's Confident. Even more so when they saw the desiring looks in Kim and Shego's eyes after they spun from each other, stopping as the lyrics started, their dresses and long hair flowed around them before returning normal.
It's time for me to take it. I'm the boss right now. Not gonna fake it, not when you go down. 'Cause this is my game, and you better come to play.
The two moved their shoulders, left or right one at a time, to the sounds of the drums, moving in closer to one another as the song continued.
I used to hold my freak back, now I'm letting go. I make my own choice. Bitch, I run this show!
So, leave the lights on, no, you can't make me behave.
As the song continued, everyone could see the intensity and fire in the couples' eyes as they continued to dance, picking up the speed as the chorus came up.
So you say I'm complicated. That I must be outta my mind. But you had me underrated, rated, rated…
Everyone stood in awe at how Kim and Shego made an apparent dance within a dance, the movement of their bodies as they seamlessly flowed from one dance move to another, staying in sync with each other as the song continued, with the both of them not missing a beat and without hitting each other.
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being, what's wrong with being confident… the song ended as Kim and Shego, by now panting and sweating ended with a highly passionate kiss.
Everyone around them all looked in surprise at how the two dancers danced to the song, they even felt the temperature in the room rise. Though few knew that it was due to Kim and Shego having higher than average body temperatures, so their moving that quickly to the song causing the room to heat up quicker than everyone dancing.
The rest of the reception went on like any other clockwork reception, however, the parents started noticing something changing with their daughters.
Ann looked at Kim and went wide eyed. "Ah James…" She said.
Beth looked at her daughter, Shego, in response to see if she was alright, before too going wide eyed. "Ah… Jack…"
Both fathers looked at their daughters and went wide eyed as well.
As Kim and Shego sat at the table talking and occasionally kissing. The parents saw something they remembered all too well at their own receptions, the desire and lust for their newly wed. the intense, raw passion to do nothing more than to rip their partner out from their outfit and have their way with them.
The parents soon got all the single men and women, who weren't family, together for the traditional bouquet and garter tossing.
Shego for her part as the main bride of the wedding, took Kim's pale-green and black flowers and combined them with her pale-pink and white flowers. Eyeing the crowed before turning, she tossed the flowers over her head and into the hands of nonother than Bonnie, who beamed a broad smile from ear to ear.
Kim watched as Shego sat down and felt jubilation as she got to live a fantasy of hers by reaching up the skirt of Shego's dress, purposely and sensually caressing her way up Shego's powerful leg, even going further than she had to, causing Shego to let out a muffled yelp that only Kim heard, who smirked devilishly in response before removing the garter and threw it to all the unmarried men, for it to land right on top of Ron's head. Letting out a yelp as he realized what just landed on him, he looked on as Bonnie smiled and lead her boyfriend over to where Shego, now standing up, had been sitting and Bonnie sat down.
Letting out a few faint laughs Ron gently put the garter around Bonnie's leg followed by the two kissing with applause going around.
By now the reception was dying down to the point where everyone was saying that the newlyweds could leave.
Ann looked on at Kim with tears building in her eyes for one last hug for the night. "I'm so proud of you Bubble-butt!"
"Mom!" Kim cried out.
"And I for you Shego!" Beth said, hugging Shego. Which caught Shego off guard as her mother never called her by her legal name.
"Thanks… mommy…" Shego let out, blushing as she realized it was the first time she used the word 'mommy' in over twenty years, causing every family member, including the Go brothers, to laugh.
"You two have fun now." Beth and Ann said at the same time, even winking at their daughters knowing full well what that was implying, causing their fathers to look at each other with blushes as deep as their daughters.
Kim and Shego finally got into the limo after saying their goodbyes. Unbeknownst to everyone but the couple, their driver was actually nonother than Agent Du. For security measures to ensure no one knew where the couple primarily lived, Dr. Director had not only her best agent driving them, but also a top of the line limo that could clock itself from visual and technological scans.
"Congratulations." Will smiled, uncustomary for his character, but welcomed as they got underway, cloaking only when out of sight of the reception hall.
"Thanks." Both women said in response, before kissing again.
Author's notes: I'll admit, I don't like watching romance movies or shows, but damn the feels in this! The honeymoon begins in the next chapter... if you know what I mean ;)
