A/N: Sorry for the late. I've been dealing with some… troublesome relatives (I hate babysitting) and I was so exhausted that I forgot to post this. This was supposed to be an only chapter but it got too long so it will be a two part chapter. With all that said now enjoy.

Chapter 8: Like a dream part 1

I struggle between pans and flour. Dam alarm. Yesterday was a very busy day at the hospital, two surgeries and a lot of consultancy and today I'm supposed to be there first hour. The kids. I haven't made breakfast and I'm running out of time. I think it will be better calling to say I'll be late.

"What's the prob" I hear someone says from the kitchen door.

"Shego" I yelp by the surprise. I never knew she would be up at… half past five. She looks tired and grumpy. I think I was noisier than I thought. "Sorry I wake you, was I too loud?"

She seems ready to say something… sarcastic "Don't worry" she says. "I'm used to wake at the minimal sound" she looks at me "So Anne, what happened here?" she looks around smirking a like Kimmie would have been cooking.

I blush "Getting late to work" I state trying to tidy my mess a bit "I think I'll have to call to the hospital…"

"Let me make breakfast " she says after a few seconds. "If I do it you'll have time to ready yourself, right?"

"You don't have…"

"It's the least I can do"I think she think she is in debt or something. It's been two days since she woke up. I told her to stay as long as she wants especially because Kim and I thought it would be good for Amadis to get used to a warm environment and it would be good for Shego herself.

"Ok" I agree and go to prepare myself.

SKP

I go down to the kitchen and sniff something very tasty. Looks like Anne wanted to surprise the family.

But when I go down I see her in a rush. She kisses me good bye and gets out saying something like she didn't have time. So she won't eat with us. Wait! If she isn't cooking then who is…?

"Oh! Morning Dr.P." Shego is there… cooking?

"Morning" I say a bit confused. Then it downs on me. She is staying with us after Kimmie bring her daughter home. Who would have thought?.

"Here" she puts a plate with omelets. Tasty-looking omelets. "Some idea where the kids will be down?" she asks. She is trying to make this less awkward than it already is.

"They should be up at any… " I loud scream gets our attention. And unmistakable 'TWEEBS!' "Yes. They are already up"

A little girl gets in. she seems a bit sleepy. "Morning" She is Amadis. Shego's daughter.

And after her my own daughter is running after a rocket. That's the why for the scream. And after her Jim and Tim are laughing.

"Got it!" Kim exclaims when she gets a free hit at the homemade machine.

"hey!" both twins protest in unison. The hit seems to alter the control of the rocket making it go rampage around the kitchen. "Uh oh"

All of us take cover, except Amadis who seem to be a little sleepy already and… Shego.

Our attention swaps from the rocket to her. She is about to get hit from behind but in the least second she move and dodge the rocket while putting another omelet on the pan, then it come back from above her, this time she take a plate and put it on the table without being hit.

We, and I say we because all of us are amazed by the grace and the ease she moves dodging the rampaging toy (Hey! It is a toy to me)

"Try from below" I hear Jim whispers and Tim is moving the control. It seems they recovered the control of the rocket. They now are actively attacking Shego but she doesn't flinch. She continue to avoid all contact while finishing making breakfast.

"Wow" It seems like Amadis is fully awake now. Shego blush a bit. She doesn't look like someone who blush often.

The kids get distracted and the rocket goes straight to the little girl.

Before anyone could do anything a flash of green light hit the tail of the rocket changing it direction and making it hit the wall making a medium hole in it.

"Are you ok?" She asks Amadis. She looks very concerned. Maybe she really changed; I had my doubts when Kim told me but… seeing her looking at her daughter… It doesn't seem faked.

"Yes…"

" , you two" she says to the twins. Kim smirks and they gulp. Maybe it will be good having her around to put those two in line. "That was a waste of materials" maybe not. Kim's smirk fall and the twins look confused. "I bet you put a free foul system in that" they only nod "It would be better if you put the fuel in a resistant container that way if it explodes the explosion will be small"

"But the explosion is" Tim starts. "The best part" Jim finishes.

"Even if this way you could recycle more parts?"

Uh oh I avoid suggesting that for a reason. They grin "Hicka-Bicka-Boo?" "Hoo Sha!"And they sit. I only sight it was a matter of time for them to realize that would be better idea but…

"Yes… this afternoon is ok" Kim's on the phone talking with Jerry, our contractor. This happen more often than not so we have him in speed dial. "Do you know what you have done?" she grunts at Shego.

"You mean saving your parent a big waste of money every time those two make hole" She then looks at me sheepishly "By the way sorry for the wall" I only dismissed it with a headshake"without mention the possible hospital bill if and when something more serious happens?" she continues looking at Kim. If she puts it that way I think I should have told them early. "And giving them the chance to annoy you more often is always a plus" she says smirking.

"I knew you had ulterior motives" my daughter says indignantly pointing at Shego. Kimmie is acting so… childish today.

"Hey it helps you reflexes to stay sharp" Shego says "And you need it if you want to surv"

"Ok, ok" Kim cut her off. I thought I taught her better to do that.

"Ok" Shego says reluctantly "Now, eat before it gets cold"

"You cooked?" Kim asks surprised.

"Yes… sooo"

"Nothing… nothing I never thought you could" Shego glare at her making her squirm a bit. Odd. "Delicious!" Kim makes a silent exclamation after taking a bite of Shego's omelet. "How did you learn?"

"When you live my life you need to eat healthy so I learned to cook" Shego said nonchalantly sitting next to Amadis as if it was nothing. She mustn't know that to Kim cooking is a very very awesome skill. And after tasting it I have to agree with that "You don't like it?" she asks Amadis who hasn't touched her plate;Shego looks a bit hurt by the notion that Amadis don't like her cooking.

"Eh" she seems to be in her own world. "Can I?" we all look at her. They say she lived in an orphanage so maybe… "In the orphanage we couldn't eat until the sisters tell us to" she explains sheepishly feeling our confused glances.

"Of course you can" Shego say smiling faintly. She looks expectantly when Amadis took a bite. "How is it?"

"Good" she says smiling "But" she frowns and so do Shego "I got cold" she whines. Shego give a relieved sight.

"Let me" she put her hand over the plate. I flinch. I remember the last time she tries to warm food. I didn't finish reading that newspaper.

This time her hand only glow and a second later the food is warmed up.

"Cool!!" Amadis and the twins exclaimed. "How did you do it?"

"Our powers are more versatile than you think" she seems to be boasting.

"Show off" Kim says amused.

"Eat before it get colder" Shego answers putting a spoon full of omelet in Kim's mouth. Kim only stutters. "That's better"

"I hardly ever use my powers" Amadis says sadly. "They are dangerous and I thought they make me…"

"I know" Shego says putting a hand on her shoulder "I could teach you… some time" she looks away as if expecting rejection "I mean if you want. It would be better than learning by your own. Trust me, is harder than you think"

"I…I…would like it" Amadis says.

"We'll be late" Tim suddenly says.

"It's Sunday" I say not remembering if they had school.

"We have soccer practice" Jim answers "You promised to take us there" Tim fimishes.

"Oh" I remember now. I think I've been too busy in my latest project. Thinking about it. "Kimmie could you…" She tries to say no "You could take Amadis too" I add in an afterthought.

I notice Amadis eyes sparks a bit to sadden a second later.

"I you want you can go" I think Shego saw it too.

"But" "What about" Kim and Amadis says at the same time.

"I don't think the bad guys told anything about Kimmie" Shego explains "In fact I think they won't be able to told him anything for a while" she adds a bit gravely. I can see Kim tense a bit "I didn't do anything too harsh" she assure Kim "I only taught them not to mess with what is important to me"

"Can I really go?" Amadis ask expectantly.

"As long as you don't use you powers it will be ok"

"What if something happens?" Kim asks worriedly.

"If you are with her I doubt something happens" I can see Kimmie-cub flushing and smiling.

"Ok I'll take them" She finally says and go up to her room with Amadis in tail.

"Soo… you busy?" Shego asks a bit after the children left. I am currently trying to work in a project: A new kind of spaceship motor that… I don't think she'll understand all the implication of my work.

"Yeah" I answer "I can't get this simulation to work properly it seem that the new generation of rocket motors will have to wait until my muse come back" I quipped.

"Let me see" she says getting closer and looking at the program I've been working at. "Why not use an antigravity motor?" she suggests.

I knew she wouldn't understand. "This isn't sci-fi" I start explaining "There's no powerful enough antigravity generator to use as motor core and it won't be until a few more… " I start to telling her the implication of her suggestion and the actual impossibility to make it work. "…Gravity is still yet to be totally comprehended by us so it is impossible to…"

"Done it" she says. I've been so engrossed in my talking I didn't notice her typing in my laptop.

I look with incredulity at the scream. The simulation was running perfectly with a full blue print of a "You did it" I say skeptically. She has done an antigravity core for a rocket motor. "How? These model violate the physical laws"

She chuckles "It's called mad science" she looks thoughtful "Actually is only a model of the motors Drakken have in the hovercraft I've fixing them for years now so it wasn't hard to put the specifications in the simulator" she seem proud of herself "Drakken can be a dork most of the time but when it comes to fuck with reality he can be very… useful" and she starts to laugh. Surely at my shocked face. Then I give her an incredulous "Don't look at me like that. I didn't hear him most of the time but when he talks about something that can be useful to upgrade my babies I do pay attention"

I give a confused look this time "I didn't know you had more children"

She laughs harder. "I… mean… my… vehicles" she says between laughs.

So Drakken wasn't as crazy as I thought. Maybe… "Could you tell more about this… mad science"

SKP

"You sure you haven't played soccer before" Jim asks Amadis for the umpteenth time since we left the soccer practice.

"We didn't played a lot in the orphanage" She says a bit upset "We didn't even have balls… I didn't have anyone to play with…" she murmurs the last part. I wonder how she lived before; I mean she don't seem to have good memories "Can I go next time" she asks me.

Today in practice she was beaming and I have to admit I was impressed she was very good soccer player. I can't deny her that. "Yes you can. Well if the twebs don't mind"

"Hey!" the shout at the same time making me chuckle. Most of the time hearing them in stereo is annoying but when they are annoyed it's amusing. Amadis looks at them "You kidding" Amadis' face falls "She is great" "with her we could" "Get to the finals" Ahhhhh. Can't they talk one at time! Amadis seem happy by the praises but she seems as annoyed as me with the way these two talk.

"You came back" I hear a tired voice and see an equally tired Shego "How did it go"

"She is great" "It would be cool" "If she could come often"

Shego smiles. "So you did well" She ask Amadis who only nod.

"Hey! Shego" I hear my dad calling "I have a few more questions if you don't mind" I see my dad getting out of the kitchen. "Boys, how was practice?" they start talking about the game.

"You dad is crazier than Drakken" Shego mutters. "He don't stop asking questions"

"What did you do?" I ask curiously.

"I helped him with his work and since then he haven't stopped asking about Drakken's machines! He looks like a kid in a toys shop"

Oh… I can see now dad can be very… passionate about work related stuff.

"So, Shego…" it seems his talk with the twins was fast.

"Sorry Dr. P. Kimmie here wanted to talk about something… maybe later?" Dad looked a bit confused at the pet name Shego called me with but looked more disappointed when she told him she won't answer his questions.

"Is that so Kimmi-cub?" I flinch at the nickname.

Shego give a pleading look. Now you want my help after giving the twins such a 'useful' advice? "Don't worry dad. It's nothing important, she is all yours." I tell him smirking.

He takes Shego to the kitchen and she looks back at me muttering a clear 'Bitch' and I only smirk.

It is a good thing she is getting along with dad. I grin even more when I hear dad talking about his old hamster pet. Payback's a bitch.

"You are evil" I hear Amadis says. She is grinning too "You think she'll learn her lesson"

"I don't think so" I answer honestly.

"So do I" we share a good laugh.

It's good seeing her smile like that. I think she is opening to me. Specially after last night. She became my roommate because Shego needed space to move in bed in case her ribs were still healing. And we stayed up late talking; mostly me answering questions about her mother.

I think she wants to know Shego more. And I hope I can help them grow closer.

A/N: ok so not the more exciting chapter but I wanted to write about Shego and Amadis staying with the Possibles. Next chapter will continue like that, this time about Jim, Tim, Kim and Amadis.
