I'm sorry for the long hold on the update. My laptop finally had enough of putting up with me and I had to buy me a new one and it took a bit to get enough money for the laptop not to mention get everything set up for you all. Also, some personal stuff happened I'd rather not discuss.
Anyways I hurried up and whipped up a chapter for you all. I hope you guys like it even though it is a short chapter. I'm already starting on chapter 9 so the next update you guys wont have to wait as long. :)
Chapter 8:
Trust Issues
Ron pulled the Sloth in the driveway. He opened the door for his beloved and helped her in the house, still week from the trip and the morning sickness. Kim watched Ron with concern in her eyes. That look on her love's face only meant one thing. Something bad was going to happen. Kim shook her head as Ron laid her in bed and scooted over right beside her. "Does this have anything to do with his sudden state of shock?" Kim thought. She shook her head. "I must be going nuts." She noted silently.
Kim rested her head on her beloved and Ron turned off the TV. He didn't want this moment to end. Being with Kim made Ron feel content. He knows what is coming up and he has no time to waste. He has to meet up with Master Sensei as soon as possible to train if he wants to keep his life this way. Ron sighed once more before he motioned Kim to get up for a second. He gulped nervously knowing what he had to do to keep this a secret. Ron hated the fact of breaking Kim's heart but it was much better than Hotaru breaking all of them.
"Kim, we...We need to talk." Ron nervously said.
Kim's eyes filled in with fear. Something Ron hated to see in her eyes.
"Okay. What's up Ron?" Asked Kim.
"I don't know exactly how to say this KP. But I need to leave you for a little bit. Now. I can't wait any longer and I got to get away from you. Ron paused to get a grip on his emotions. This wasn't going to be easy on either. "Kim, you know I love you. But I got to collect my thoughts right now. We're through for now. I'm sorry! An...And don't you dare follow me anywhere! Just get out of my sight!" Ron lied.
He stormed out of the room and got onto his scooter as he raced for the airport where Yori and Sensei would be waiting for him. He let a few tears slip down his cheeks as he silently cried. Everything felt like it was falling apart right in front of him. "Damn it!" he silently cursed, while reaching the airport letting the tears flow freely.
Kim shook in state of shock. She silently let tears slip from her eyes and rocked back and forth hugging herself. Ron broke up with her and left. He was gone. He had planned to do this. She silently assumed. The state of shock he was in as he got in the car was in fear of being a father. So he left them both and got away from her. She clutched her fists, punching a pillow and threw it aside, not even caring she just broke one of her favorite lamps. "Fuck you Ron!" she screamed in anger and heartbreak.
Shego was walking in the house as she already had permission to do so since the week after graduation. She was dropping in to check in to see how Kimmie was doing and if she was feeling any better. Then she heard some glass broke, then she heard... What? Kimmie cussed? The Kim Possible cussed? This cant be good. Shego said as she raced up the steps to the master bedroom to try and calm one of the few friends she had.
Shego's heart started to slowly shatter as she saw the broken girl clutching herself rocking back and forth. "Why Ron, Why Ron," she mumbled to herself over and over again. Shego sat on the bedside next to her and pulled Kim close. Setting the broken hero onto her lap. Rocking her back and forth. Kim berried her face onto Shego's chest as she wept, soaking her white tank top. "Ssh!" Shego soothed the poor girl rubber her back. She didn't know what had happened but she did know her new best friend was hurt, and badly so. She knew Ron was the cause of this newly formed pain. Shego controlled herself, wanting to burn the buffoon alive for hurting Kimmie this way.
After calming the girl down Shego sat the girl up to look at her. Her experience in child development and teaching also gave her a degree in psychology. Which was a good thing she had taken it or she wouldn't even know what the girl would mentally need from her now. She got ready for the therapy session with Kimmie she gotten herself into.
"Now Kimmie, I want you to talk to me and tell what happened from beginning to end."
"Ron took me to the hospital to find out why I had been throwing up all the time and for my newly strange craving for Nacos." Kim smiled at how surprisingly good the cheesy mexican styled food sounded.
"Okay Kim, So what happened next?" Shego asked.
"Well Shego, my mom checked me out and she gave me a test. And well... I-I'm pregnant."
Shego's eyes bulged. I better calm her down quick! "This emotion can't be good for the baby!" Shego silently noted.
Kim told her about how just as they got in the car Ron went into a constant state of shock for ten minutes. How as soon as they got home the he just had to get away from her and leave. How he ended their relationship right then and there. By the time she was done telling Shego what happened she was in tears clutching on to the pale woman. She felt better but still needed the comfort Ron failed to supply her with right now.
Shego rubbed her back soothingly, as her other hand held on to the girl as she rocked the heartbroken hero back and forth. Kim let the tears flow as the fallen hero held her. They stayed like that for a few minutes. Wails of hurt escaped the young redhead. Shego knew what she had to do. She texted Drakken the situation. Asked him to find Ron and talk to him on exactly why he had left Kim. She knew Ron would be in the hospital or dead if the raven haired woman saw one glance of the blonde. She then turned Kimmie to face her again.
"That's it. I'm staying here!"
"What?" Kim asked in disbelief.
Shego sighed. "I said I'm staying here. If monkey boy is too much of a wuss to stay here during this then I'll take his place. You need someone to be here and you're my best friend. True best friends are there for one another and I will be here to help you whether you like it or not!"
Kim didn't know what to say. Shego surely has changed since they first met. All she knew was she was thankful for the girl's offer. She hugged Shego once more with Niagara falls clearly streaming from her eyes. Shego sat there, holding the girl, just allowing her to let everything out. Her tank top now soaked with Kim's tears. She didn't care. Night fall slowly overcame the bedroom. Shego sighed. Kim fell asleep on her. She smiled at the fact she was finally calm. She changed the girl into her pajamas before changing into some Drakken dropped off before going to talk to Ron. She then sat on the bed with Kim. She knew there was a guest room but she didn't want to leave the girl alone in her condition. So she go into bed and closed her eyes, as she allowed sleep to overcome her body aswell.
Ron sighed as he got onto the plane. He was still upset that he left Kim the way he did. But knew if he told Kim the truth she would have followed risking the life of their child. Yori noticed the sudden change in Stoppable-san's behavior. She reached for the blond and put her arm around his shoulders. "Possible-san will understand. You have trust she will as all relationships rely on trust. You need to do this to protect your family. Sensei and I will be with you this whole time. Be strong Stoppable-san, for your family, and for yourself."
Ron smiled sadly as he wiped away his tears. He then smiled at his Japanese ninja friend. He needed that talk and reassurement from her. "Thanks Yori! I needed that." He said to her.
"What are friends for Stoppable-san." Was all Yori said as the plane soared into the sunset.
When they arrived to Yamanouchi Ron and Yori walked into the school and saw Master Sensei awaiting their return. He bowed to his sensei and Sensei returned the bow. "Ron Stoppable. I am happy you followed through to my message. I hope you had a nice flight. You will get some supper, then have a good night's sleep. Then at 5:00 AM you will awaken to start your training." Sensei simply said as he led him to the sushi on the table awaiting him. Rufus poked his head out surprised by all the food. Ron smiled at his pet as he gave him some of the sushi and ate his portion. But supper was slightly interrupted.
"Drakken? What are you doing here?" Ron asked confused.
"Ron, Shego told me what happened. I overheard your sensei talking to you about some sort of training. But why now? And why did you leave Kim in tears? This is not like you at all." Drakken said confused and angrily at the blonde.
Ron sighed, shaking his head. This wasn't going to be easy. "I lied about breaking up with her. I had to. I did it to keep her safe."
"Safe? She's shaking in Shego's arms with a shattered heart that YOU caused!" Drakken yelled angrily.
Ron sighed again. "I know Drakken but listen. She's pregnant with my child and if I told her that there was an old maniac who hated people with Mystical Monkey Powers who was planning to kill me, Kim and my child what do you think she would do? She would follow putting herself and our baby in danger! I had to lie to her. I had to! I had to do this! I had to keep my family safe!" Ron slammed his fists on the table in front of him. Tears of anger and guilt escaped his eyes. "Damn it!" He cursed once more.
Drakken processed the new information. He then sighed and turned to speak to the upset blonde. Knowing he had to for the sake of his new friend's relationship. "Ron. Your heart was in the right place. But lying to Kim Possible to all of this wasn't a good idea at all. What I've learned the hard way is all relationships, friends, family, love, they all rely on one thing to stand strong. That one thing is trust. You have to trust she would do what was safest for her and the baby. I know in the past she came up and saved you a number of times. But, even she knows the sitch is different with a new life forming inside of her belly. You have to trust her if you love her."
Ron smacked his face in frustration. How could he have been so stupid?! He hurt Kim. He hurt his KP and now he would be able to pick up the mess he's made because he left his Ronmunicator at home.
"Oh! Shego said you would want this when I was done talking to you." Drakken said tossing the blonde the blue device.
Ron caught the device, staring at it in shock. "Thanks man! You need a big help." Ron smiled at his new friend.
rakken laughed. "Anytime Stoppable. But next time you hurt your Kim Possible in any way we will be doing MUCH more than talking." Drakken joked.
Ron chuckled. "You're on blue dude!" Ron smiled confidently as Drakken left to his hovercraft to fly back to Middleton.
Ron sighed as he looked at his blue device. Knowing Drakken was right. He then looked at the time. It was already late and he needed to get some sleep if he wanted to wake in time for his training.
"I'll call her in the morning." He smiled as he laid on the Japanese cot and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the comfy cot.
