Chapter 13: Good bye

"Mommy, hurry up!" Little Amadis is running through a green field, we are surrounded by trees and I can hear a river not so far from here. She looks so happy. My daughter. I smile at the thought.

"So full of energy" I hear a mocking voice behind me.

"Can you blame her?" I say and turn around to see the most beautiful woman I've ever seen "Como on Sheegs, mom and dad are waiting for us"

She snorts "It is easy for you to say it, you aren't the one carrying all these" she lift three baskets full of food. I forgot she made the food for our family picnic.

"Give me" I take one of the baskets then I take a hold of her free hand; when I fell something in her ring finger I smile at her and pull her to make her hurry. "Lets…"

And the next moment I am on my living room floor. "Ouch" I stand up slowly. I think the sofa isn't big enough to shift on. It seem I fell of the sofa in the mid of my… dream.

I blush a deep shade of red remembering my dream. Why did I dream that? I can't help smiling.

I see the clock on the wall. Five in the morning. It is too early but I don't think I could go back to sleep so I go to bathroom and get ready for the day.

When I get out I notice the lights in my room are on. Shego.

"Can't you sleep?" I ask startling Shego. She was looking out the window.

"God, Princess you almost give me a heart attack" she exclaims. I think she was really in deep thoughts.

"Sorry" I apologize "So what's on your mind?"

She looks thoughtful and after a few seconds she gives me a sad look "Amadis" oh. After yesterday she must be thinking Ami hate her.

But this is a good change to give her the good news. I bet it will cheer her up "Hey Shego" she looks at me. I take a depth breath and give her a big smile. "I was thinking… I want to take care of Amadis while you are away" I wait for a smile and even a hug out of gratitude at my offer. I blush thinking about it for no reason.

All my happy thought crumble on the floor when I see her scowling "You can't" Why?! "I don't think your parents"

"They have already agreed" I cut her off. I don't understand her reaction. I thought she would be happy.

"You convinced them?" I nod. "No. I can't let you… it is dangerous"

"Look Shego" I say a bit annoyed "I've made up my mind and you can't do anything about it. I know you know that with me she would be safer and happier so cut the crap and tell why you don't want to leave her with me"

"Kim you have a whole life ahead…" I glare at her. I know it is a lie she herself told I have time to decide what to do with my life and what better way to use that time than taking care of Amadis; so I knowshe is hiding something. She gives a defeated sigh. "You are so stubborn"

"That is why I always beat you" I tease her. She only chuckle wanly. "Now spill, why are you against it?"

She sighs again "You have already done a lot for us and…" I arch an eyebrow expectantly. She becomes more agitated "I'll never forgive myself if something happens to you or Amadis… You and her have become the most important things in my life" She blushes slightly at her own confession. I feel myself blush "I... I mean your family and Amadis"

I can't help grinning happily despite the blush on my face. I get closer to her and hug her. "Don't worry about us. I promise to keep her… keep all of us safe" she awkwardly put her arms around me "Can you trust me with it? ... Can you trust me?" I know the question implies more than what it seems and she know it too.

"With my life" she answers without any hesitation.

I smile warmly at her "Me too" I murmur. "Just… come back as soon as possible" she nods.

"Kim, Betty is here" I hear mom saying.

I grunt making Shego smirks. Way to ruin the moment. Were we really having a moment? "Who knows what she wants now? Better go down and get this over with" I take her hand and pull her to follow me.

When we come in the living room all the family is already there. Amadis don't even look at Shego.

"What now Bets" Shego greet her smirking. Bets? For the look on the older woman face I can guess she doesn't like the nickname.

Betty smirks when she sees our hands together "Possibly bad news… Lexi" I fell Shego stiffen at the… name.

"You know I hate that name" Shego says letting go of my hand.

Wait. "Lexi?" I ask. It couldn't be.

"You didn't know?" Betty asks me smugly "Her name is" Shego run trying to make her stop "Alexis Rieger" she says dodging Shego who is now blushing on the floor.

I pout. How is that she knew it while I don't. Why hasn't Shego told me? Now I am feeling a bit hurt.

"I always thought your name would be Sheri Gordon or something like that" Jim says smirking.

"Yeah, like it would be smart having a secret identity so hard to discover. No, not obvious at all" Shego say sarcastically "Like the green skin wasn't enough hint"

"Let me guess, Hego's idea" I ask and when she nods we all chuckle.

"Ok girls. Stop the bantering" Mom says "What is so important to make you come so early" she asks Betty.

"Oh" it looks like she has forgotten why she is here in the first place. It is hard to get used to this easy-going Betty Director. "He discovered the call. I could encrypt it but it won't give us a lot of time"

"And you are here wasting my time" Shego grunts and get to her room.

"How much time do I have left" I ask Betty when I get in the living room fully changed in my catsuit. I am really glad Kimmie keep it.

"Teen, fifteen minutes top"

"Jim, Tim turn on the security system; it will give us a few more minutes" I hear Kimmie talking to her brothers.

I look around, not only the people but the house itself. This place is full of memories, the last two months has been the best of my life since the comet. These people… I'll never forget what they have done for me and my daughter. But I think the time to say good bye has come.

James. I look at the bright man if not a bit clueless; how in the world Anne fell in love with him is gonna be an eternal mystery to me, but he is a good man nonetheless. "Dr. P."

He spread his hand to me. "Take care" it is the only thing he says. We shake hands. "I'll be waiting. I still have a few question about Drew's work" I groan causing him to chuckle. I bet he said it because he knows it will annoy me.

I turn to Anne. She is containing her tears. I smile at her. Even before, she has helped me a lot. She has become the closest thing to a mother… no she is the closest to a sister I have.

"Anne" She doesn't wait and hugs me knocking the air out of me. "A…Anne… air"

"Sorry" she says and stepping back. She can't contain the tears anymore "Just come back safe ok?" I only nod.

The twins, immediately after, cling to my legs. One in each leg. They look sad. It has happened a lot between us. From spending time planning pranks to do to Kim; to they asking me 'life' advising.

"We'll" "miss you" they hug me. I think some things never change it doesn't matter how much they has become their own individual they sometimes still think like a sole being.

"yeah yeah" I say in fake annoyance, hugging them back despite of it. "Don't stop annoying your sister" I murmur.

"Never" they say at the same time smirking.

"Hey" Kimmie pouts.

Kim, Kimmie, Princess. I've always respected her even admire her. She is what I could have been… without my nasty attitude and sexy body of curse. In this months she has made me feel part of her family, me and Amadis.

She extends her hand. I think she doesn't want to make a scene, and neither do I.

SKP

Shego takes my hand, her grip is strong. "Kim" She says tenderly. That's it!. This time she says my name full of caring. That only word erases the bitterness I've felt when she said my name before those times it was full of anger or annoyance or seriousness. But now I can feel her words warm me from inside and I realize it was like that like I've always wanted to hear her say my name.

SKP

"Kim, thanks" I don't say it too often but it feel right say it now. I don't have any more to say than "Thank for anything"

She pull me violently into a hug. "No big" I have the urge to hurt her when she says it but I think I will let it go only this time. "Now get out before I throw you out" she says smiling and wiping a lonely tear from her face.

I chuckle slightly "As if" then my eyes go directly to Amadis. She is sitting on the floor hugging her legs. I kneel down. I don't know what to say to make her happy "I have to go" I say softly.

"I haven't packed anything" she said looking away. I want to chuckle. I guess she thought if she didn't pack I would stay; it is cute.

"You don't have to" she looks at me surprised. "Kimmie here offered herself to take care of you" I see a glimpse of a smile on her face. "You'll stay here. Don't give her headache munchkin" I ruffle her hair. I don't know what else to say.

"You are weird" I can her Tim says. "You can manage other's children's problem but not your own"

I blush. He is right. It is easy find solutions when you aren't directly involved.

I stand up, or at least try when I fell a tug in my arm. Amadis is holding my sleeve.

"My next birthday" she says meekly "Promise me you'll be her before it" she is looking at me with pleading eyes.

I kneel down again and hug her with all my being. After half a second she hugs me back. "I promise"

I look around one more time. They all are smiling at me.

"Shego" I hear Anne "We aren't taking care of Amadis just like a favor. Remember this is your home now, both of you" she says looking at Amadis and then at me; all the family nods "When all this is over we'll still be her family and yours too"

"We are running out of time" Betty says suddenly. I can hear struggle out of the saves me; I don't want to cry, not over something that fills me with joy.

I get closer to Betty. I swear I want to hug this bitch (I don't mean it like an insult) but she has being so annoying since yesterday. I only punch her softly and turn in the kitchen direction.

"Hey"

"Help them in all you can" I say before getting out of their sight.

SKP

"GJ, hands up" I hear the number one agent of my agency shouts. Will looks a little beat up.

"Hey Will, what's up?" Kimberly says bringing a tray with cups of coffee and juice.

"We have information that you are hiding a dangerous criminal here" I see Ami flinch a bit "All units prepare to ambush the target" he talks to his watch but no reply comes "…" He looks at the Possibles "What the hell was all that" she points out.

"Language" Amadis scold him making him blush. "There are kid here you know"

"It was our surety system" Anne says "Having the head of Global Justice we have to be sure she will be ok" Clever. I bet most of my agents were knocked out when they put a food in the property. I think I can reduce their salaries with this excuse. After all they won't capture their 'target', I am sure of it, and this isn't an official operation since I haven't been directly informed.

"Eh?" He looks at me surprised and instinctively salutes "Doctor Director, what are you doing here?"

"I only were passing by to cheek on Kimberly and see if she thought about my offer" I say nonchalantly and he only looks more confused. I can't believe I was like him. "I offered her a job" he tries to protest but I cut him off with a glare "Want some coffee" I tell him with a smirk on my face.

SKP

I can't help but laugh at those idiots from GJ. When I got out the house all were knocked out. How lame is that?

I know exactly where I have to go now: Big Daddy. He can tip me in the right direction to start my hunting; but before I have to make a shot stop…

I hear him up to the tree house, Kim told me he spent a lot of time here when he is depressed.

"Nice place you have here stoppable" I said mockingly.

"Shego" He jumps a bit. I see fear in her eyes for a brief moment but the it is replaced by anger "What are you doing her? What else do you want to take from me" he yells.

"I haven't taken"

"You take Kim away from me!" this man do is a fool "All was perfect before you came"

"You sure about it?" I ask him smugly. He doesn't answer. "You see. I only accelerate thing"

"No. you make her hate me"

"Argh" I take a breath "Look, you haven't thought that she deserve some one better than you" He looks very hurt by my words "And so do you" now he is confused "Face it. In the long run what you would have asked of her. Marriage? A house in the suburbs to raise your children while she works in an office and you doing… whatever the hell you like to do"

He is more surprised now. "How…?"

"You and me know that isn't the life for her" I start pacing "and what she would have asked of you. I have the hunch you already know the answer. She would have tried to change you, to make you leave what you love doing only to keep helping her do what she love doing. I bet she has already tried it"

"Yes" he says meekly without thinking. I heard stories of her trying to make him act more serious but that is not how monkey boy works.

"Think about this" He looks at me "At the end what do you think will happen"

He is thoughtful for a minute. "We will end hating each other?" he says hesitantly.

I think he isn't as fool as I thought "Bingo… Ron…"

"You know my name" he seems to forget the serious of the actual situation.

I grunt but chose to ignore it "I understand you are hurt but do you think this is reason enough to lost you best friend. I am sure you'll find the right person for you but you'll never found a friend like Kim again"

"Uh hu, uh hu" the little rat in her pants gets out.

It looks like he finally has understood "But she hates me now" he has a few tears on her eyes now.

"She doesn't, she just needs time. That is why she ask you to leave. To have time to cool down" I turn around ready to get out of here.

"Why?" he asks making me stops. "Why… are you doing this"

"Because I want her to be happy and I know that she won't be with you as a boyfriend" I turn around and face him. "but I also know she won't be without you in her life" I punt a hand on her shoulder. He flinch at the contact. "She'll need all the help she can get; she'll need you in case something bad happens" I notice he want to ask about this something that could happen "Ron I want you to understand this: I don't trust you" I say. "In fact I don't trust the ninety nine point nine nine nine… of the world" I pause a moment and let go of him "But for some reason Kim trust you and I trust her so please" I feel my throat closing. It is hard for me to say this to him. I extend my hand "Be there for her and help her take care of my daughter and keep her safe. I know you are capable of that" he looks deadpanned. I know about him, Kimmie told me about her monkey powers.

After a few moments he shakes my hand "I'll do it"

"Me too" his rat says putting his paw over our hands.

I chuckle and get out of there leaving him, Kim, Amadis and all the good thing in my life behind.
