I know I said I was starting part 2, but I read some of the reviews, some were wondering when did Tak come in the story and a few others too. This chapter is to answer those questions. Enjoy!
"Ok, no rush or anything. Since you just had a baby, and you probably want to explain everything to Invader Tak and that rather large headed boy." Red said and left with Purple behind him.
And Tak and Dib came in.
"Alright. Explain. You heard the Tallest." Tak said and crossed her arms.
Dib was watching Gaz weirdly, like a spider waiting for a fly to enter its web. Gaz took notice, and held Bella closer to her body to protect her.
"I want Gaz, to explain without Zim here. We have so much to talk about." Dib said evilly.
"No!" Gaz said at once. "I won't talk without Zim here." She was clutching Zim's wrist.
"What's going on?" Zim asked suspiciously.
Gaz opened her mouth to explain but was cut off by Dib.
"Don't you dare explain." Dib said and pulled out a gun and aimed it at Gaz.
Gaz held Bella closer to her body, almost smushing her. Zim didn't see it coming, Dib, Gaz's older brother, who was always overprotective of her, and yet he's trying to kill her. Tak was just as surprised as Zim. She and Gaz had always been good friends, when she isn't spraying Poop soda in her face.
"W-what are you doing?" Tak asked.
"She's the reason my father is dead, she's the reason my mother is dead. She deserves to rot in hell, where she belongs."
"Dib-Human, that might of been a coincidence. That's no reason to kill your sister." Zim said.
"Dib, she's your sister. She's the only family you have left. If you kill her, then your just hurting yourself. Hand me the gun." Tak demanded.
Dib was shaking.
Gaz was clutching Bella tightly as her heart sped up.
"Dib, give. me. the gun." Tak said again and held out her hand and awaited for the gun.
Dib was shaking more than ever, Tak grabbed the hand with gun and grabbed it, she slowly pulled it out of Dib's hand and tucked in her boot. Dib just stood there, awestruck.
Suddenly, the door opened. Gaz looked up and saw Mia standing in the doorway. Mia was looking angry when she caught a glimpse of Tak.
"What are you doing here?" Mia said sternly and crossed her arms.
"Dib invited me, why are you here?" Tak said and crossed her arms.
"The Tallest invited me, what I meant is what are you doing on this planet?"
"Dib invited me, like I said. After his sister went "missing" I helped him find her, which was the biggest mistake I ever made."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I didn't know he was trying to kill her."
"Oh, you mean like how you killed my son?"
There was a brief moment of silence before Tak said something.
"I didn't think you'd still remember that. . ."
"How could I forget? You'd killed my son. I'd could never forgive you if you'd tried to do it again on my brother's baby."
"Look, I'm sorry that I killed your baby. But-"
"But nothing."
"Mia, if anyone deserves to rots in hell then it's me. Don't you think that haunts me everyday, of my life? I regreted, every second, of that day. Can't you just forgive me?"
"I will if you will."
"I'm sorry."
"I don't believe that." Mia turned on heel and left the room, leaving Tak heartbroken.
"Don't worry about it, Mia's always starts up drama." Zim said.
"Thanks. Anyway, one thing doesn't makes sense. If Gaz was Immortally Imprinted illegally, then wouldn't that make the baby a . . ." Tak didn't dare finishing that sentence.
Zim and Gaz just looked at each other.
"No. . . No." Gaz said taking this very hard to believe that her child could a blood sucking monster.
"Gaz, you don't understand-" Tak tried to say.
"No. I understand completely, Zim told me everything. My baby is not a demon. I don't believe Bella would do anything like that."
"I know, but we have to find out. For not only our safety but, most importantly, yours. Zim, can you do a few tests?" Tak begged.
"No, Zim! Don't, don't do this. Not to your own daughter."
"Gaz, I have too. It's for your safety."
"I won't let you. I won't let you even touch Bella."
"Gaz." Dib said surprisingly."Give Zim Bella. Now."
Gaz had tears rolling down her cheeks, all she wanted to do was hold Bella in her arms forever. But, she knew what she had to do. She looked at Zim then back at Bella and quickly gave her daughter a kiss on her forehead before handing her to Zim. Zim almost felt a little gulity taking his daughter away from her mother. But, he started out the door. He closed the door behind him, he took one glance at Bella asleep in his arms, he couldn't move. All he could do is watch Bella breathing in and out, sleeping so peacefully. Every sound around him grew quiet and distant, as though all the world's troubles disappeared because of this baby.
Suddenly, a voice in the distance was calling his name.
"Zim? Zim, are you okay?" The voice asked and Zim realized that the voice was Dib.
"I can't do it."Zim said softly; almost a whimper.
"What?"
"I can't do it, Dib-Human. I-I can't. She's apart of me now, if I do the tests then there's a chance she might have to be killed."
"So, she's offically Daddy's Little Girl." Dib laughed.
" But, if love Bella and Gaz, then you'd do the tests." And patted his shoulder and turned around back inside Intensive Care.
Zim sighed and started walking towards his labs. Once inside his lab, the computer brought up a small cradle.
"I'm not gonna like doing this." Zim said and brushed his thumb acrossed Bella's cheek and laid her face-down in the cradle, and got to work.
He waited until Bella was settled and actually asleep before taking a blood DNA sample. Once he got the sample and scanned it, he couldn't believe the results.
"How is she?" A voice said behind him, making Zim jump, and peered over his shoulder to see Red looking into the cradle.
"She should be sleeping." Zim said quietly and returned back to the computer sceen.
"So, what are the results?" Red asked
"Their confusing, apparently Bella doesn't have any Irken genes. She's basically half and half. . ."
"Then what genes does she have?"
"Half Human, Half Demon. . ."
"Well, you know what that means. . . Were gonna have to, Zim."
"She's never tried to bite anyone. . . Since she's half human, she doesn't even have any teeth. The human genes are intercepting with her demon genes. . ."
"So, what does that mean?"
"She's half and half, so she has half the ability humans have and half the abilities demons have, not meaning that she can drink blood, but probably be able to control her thrist, like she's doing now."
"And if your wrong?"
"I'll kill her myself."
A long moment of silence, before Bella started crying.
And Zim walked over and picked her up and held his daughter close to his body and Bella's crying died down to soft little whimpers.
"She certainly knows her own father, all right. . ." Red said smiling. "Observe her behavior over the next 12 years and we'll debate on her faith. . ." And turned around to leave.
Zim looked back into Bella's bloody crimson eyes, and smiled.
"She'll survive. . . She will, at least she'll be safe with me. " Zim thought to hisself and watched Bella laugh.
Zim, carrying Bella in his arms, walked back to Intensive Care. Gaz, looked overjoyced to see her baby again.
"So, what are the results?" Tak asked.
"She's. . . Half and Half." Zim answered.
"Half and half of what?" Gaz asked.
"She's half Human, half Demon. . ."
The room was filled with silence.
"But. . . Because of her genes, she only has half the abilities of humans and demons, theres no telling that some of her genes are stronger than others. We'll just have to watch her behavior over the next couple of years and decide her fate. . ." Zim said.
"So, basically there's a chance that Bella could be completely harmless?" Tak asked.
"Yes."
"Good. Cause, me and Dib are gonna start trying. . ." Tak said.
"Wait. . . What?"
"I Imprinted Dib and we decide to give little Bella a cousin, and a member of her own kind so she doesn't feel different."
"Think of it as a. . . "I'm sorry I tried to kill you, gift." Dib said to Gaz.
"Well, I think that's great." Gaz said.
"Well, were gonna go home. . . See ya Gaz, Good luck Zim." Tak said and left with Dib following her.
That night, after everyone was asleep, Gir slipped into Zim's lab looking rather gulity about something.
"I can't bare holding this memory any longer. . ." He said and tapped the top of his head, it opened and her pulled out a disc. And plopped himself onto the chair and put the disc into the computer.
Flashes of Zim crying about Gaz's almost death filled his head as the disc loaded and saved into the computer system.
"I hate myself. . . Out of all the times I screwed up and never regreted, this might be the one I regret the most." Gir said to himself and walked out of the room with a tear rolling down cheek.
In Intensive Care, Gaz was fast asleep. Beside her, was Bella in a small cradle. Zim walked inside and picked Bella up and held her close to his chest, she softly whimpered and fell to silences. Zim could just hold her in his arms forever. . . If only her fate didn't have a deadline...
This felt like it took forever! Well I'm glad that Part 1 of 3 is over and now time to take a nap. . .
