Bundle of joy
Shrek wondered where Fiona was. Puss then joined him. "She's at the hospital giving birth to your child!" he said. Shrek then spat out his coffee in shock. "Let's go!" he said. Puss agreed. They set off. They made it to the hospital after midday. They walked into the room Fiona was in. She looked tired. In her arms was a beautiful baby girl sleeping peacefully. Shrek looked at this stunned. "Hi honey. How are you feeling?" he asked her. "Tired but good. I'm sorry but I gave birth to a baby girl. Please don't be mad!" she told him. "It's okay but you know what might happen because of this." He told her. "Yeah I know." She said. Suddenly the sun set as they left. A bright light then came from Fi's ward but it faded instantly. Shrek then ran up there and Fiona smiled. In her arms was a baby ogre. When they'd came earlier, the baby was human but now she was this like her mother used to be going through. He turned to leave but someone was pulling on his hand.
It was their child. "See she likes you! I know you're disappointed about this but we can't change who she is. Besides she's better than the humans who keep bugging you!" she told him calmly. The baby then let go of his hand. The baby then held one of it's hands for her father. "Don't worry, we'll see Daddy later. He's in a bad mood at the minute because of my genetics and because of the curse that plagued me when I was a child." The baby gurgled happily and pointed to her. Meanwhile Shrek's thoughts were drifting off to the baby as a child but more as a teenager. He didn't want to be the one to have to explain to her why other kids would be mean to her and why boys avoided her. He was seriously dreading that when the time came. He hoped that she'd have her mother's confidence, her friendliness, his surly tongue, his intelligence, Fiona's self defence skills and his heart of gold. He hoped that she'd have that important trait. It was something he wanted her to have. Snowgre then showed up. There was sadness in his eyes and this worried him. Tears were forming in Snowgre's eyes.
"I was thinking about my parents after wishing on a star." He said sadly. "Don't worry bub, I'm sure you'll be together again someday. Actually I have a wish of my own. I want my child to grow up without scorn from anyone human and Ogrese." He said to him. Snowgre smiled at this. "I know about that already!" he told him proudly. Later that afternoon Fiona came home with their child. She'd decided to name her Katya. Snowgre smiled at this as she was in Fiona's arms. Katya was reaching out for Shrek. Fiona then put her in his arms. Katya smiled at him happily with a look of trust in her brown eyes. She then hugged him around the neck. He smiled and hugged her back gently. "Maybe having you isn't so bad as I thought!" he told himself as he played with Katya. Fiona then decided to go into Far, Far Away to do clothes shopping. They'd left Katya with Doris while they went out. They travelled there by using the onion carriage. When they entered the kingdom, they went into the first clothes shop they saw. Fiona went into a changing room with a bikini and mini skirt. Shrek was looking at a shirt and trouser set. They were like the ones he had but with sequins and a hat you can drink beer out of. He then went into a changing room to try them on. He then took off his huge clothes. He tried on the sequiny trousers but they ripped on his butt and he could see his underwear. "That's weird. My other trousers fit very well." He thought to himself. He tried on the shirt but it ripped as well. "What's going on here?" he said. He looked at his chest and realised what was wrong. Being 300 pounds in body weight meant clothes like these wouldn't fit him. This shocked him. "I never knew I put on that much weight! Fiona probably knows about it but she's nice enough not to mention it." He said sadly as he put his clothes back on. Suddenly the changing room mirrors broke into a million pieces. He sighed sadly at this as he walked out.
He'd decided to get the beer hat. Fiona was trying on the bikini and was looking good in it. She then saw something on her right cheek. She then felt it. There were three little pimples on it. She was shocked at this. She couldn't let Shrek see her cheek. After trying on the mini skirt, she put a plaster over her cheek until she got home and conceal them from view. She then paid for them and saw Shrek waiting outside for her. She noticed there was a sad look in his eyes. They went to Subwagon for lunch. They had Veggie Delight subs and drank Diet Peppysi. "Fiona can I ask you something?" Shrek said to her. "Sure. Go ahead!" she told him. He felt a lump in his throat as he prepared to ask her this but swallowed it. "Do you think I'm fat?" he asked her quietly. This shocked Fiona. "He's not that! He's perfect the way he is. I wonder what made him ask that?" she thought to herself. But before she could answer him, a sub hit him on the head. A teenager and his friends laughed at this hysterically. "What are you gonna do about it huh?" he asked mockingly. Anger rushed through Fiona's body at this. "You're not going to be laughing when I'm through with you! Is it mock people who are different day or something?" she retorted angrily. She then kicked their butts. But one of the boy's friends crawled under their table. He cut off Shrek's belt with his sword. Suddenly Shrek's shirt and trousers fell off him. The other boys laughed riotously at this. "See? He really is fat for one of his kind!" he said sneering. He and his friends then ran off laughing. Fiona then came over to him. There was a look of great sadness and embarrassment in his eyes. Tears were beginning to pool in those brown eyes of his and held them in. "I'm sorry honey about that. Ignore those little jerks. They're idiots! Are you okay?" she said to him gently. He didn't answer but followed her into the toilets so he could fix his clothing problem. She waited for him outside but heard crying. She then went into the Men's Room to see what was wrong. It was Shrek. He was upset at the minute and vulnerable as well. She understood and went out after washing her hands.
A few minutes later Shrek came out of the Men's Room with the belt fixed. She saw red rims around his eyes but kept quiet about it. They then got into the onion carriage and headed home. On the way there, Shrek fell asleep in Fiona's arms. He was very tired at the minute but was also masking his emotions. Fiona felt sorry for him as she kissed him. "I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I don't think you look fat. You look perfect and cuddly!" she whispered in his right ear. Later on that night Snowgre decided to visit them for a while. He heard someone throwing up in the out house. He didn't know it was Shrek. He'd read in some of Fiona's magazines that some people lose weight by being sick after meals. Fiona had tried popping the zits but they came back more messed up. She was unaware of what her husband was doing. Snowgre watched as Shrek played with Katya for a while. He could guess that he was upset about something. "Are you okay? It's just Fiona told me about what happened earlier." He said to him. He then saw a look of sadness on his cousin's face. "I'm going to get something to eat! Do you want anything Snowg?" Shrek told him. He watched as his cousin went into the kitchen. He then came out eating a stick of weed rat stew. After that, he went to the outhouse and threw up. Snowgre heard this and watched from outside the outhouse window. "Why's he doing this for? Doesn't he know how dangerous doing that is? I've got to tell Fi before he does real damage to himself. But he can't know I was watching him do it! He'd be mad!" he told himself.
He then went back inside. Fiona was playing with Katya. He sighed as he sat down. "What's up?" she asked him nervously. She could tell something wasn't right and she needed to know. "It's your husband! He's being sick in the outhouse after eating! I saw him do it a couple of minutes ago and I'm nervous about it! You know how dangerous it is!" he told her sadly. He wished there was something he could do to help. Icyous watched this from his lair happily. "So he wants his cousin to be okay? I could make that happen." He thought evilly as he waited for Snowgre to leave the swamp so they could talk to him. Fiona felt sorry for her True Love. "I know why he's doing this! He saw some nice clothes yesterday but they were too skinny for him so he thinks he needs to lose weight. He also must've come up with this idea after what happened at Subwagon!" she told Snowgre calmly. "I wish there was a way to help him." He told her as he left. Suddenly Icyous confronted him in a swirl of icy mist like last time. "Hey Snowg! I heard you want to help your cousin lose weight!" he told him. "You could help him?" he asked Icyous eagerly. "Yes I could… if you help me. Think about it Snowg. You'd get your wish and so would your cousin! So what do you say?" he asked him. There was a look of sadness on Snowgre's face as he thought about his parents. He then got an idea. "I'll help you but on one condition." He told Icyous. Icyous's eyes shone with delight at this. "What is it?" he asked curiously. "If I help you, I want you to help me find my parents as well as my cousin!" he told him.
"Let's go!" he told Snowgre. They disappeared in a swirl of icy snow. But Fiona had seen Icyous talking to Snowgre and was worried for him. He'd just made a deal with that icy dude because he'd said he would help him find his parents and make her husband lose weight. She hoped he knew what he was doing. Icyous was pleased by this. He'd tried to get Snowgre to help before but it didn't work until he'd threw those he cared about into the mix. But he couldn't tell if Snowgre was loyal to him yet. He then got an idea. He'd show Snowgre what he could have if they joined forces and then bring up the contract once he said "I want to join!" but he had to convince Snowgre it was for his best interest if he wanted those he loved to be happy.
