Heey again! This one is a bit short only cause I was running out of things to happen. I have thought of a sequal which will come out after this one is done, cause this one is going to go for maybe 2-4 more chapters. So, enough of me and more of the story!

I do not own Invader Zim sadly. If I did, it would have never been cancelled.

Neak ran to his wife's limp body that lay on the pavement. The scene kept replaying in his mind. If only he didn't call her name and distract her.

He fell on her body, silent tears streamed his face. He lifted himself up and held her head and starred into her lifeless eyes. "Fuck!" He yelled. He couldn't grasp the day and what has happened. His mind swirled with thoughts until a tiny voice broke through them.

"Daddy? What's wrong?" The little voice squeaked.

Neak turned to see his daughter starring at him then shifther eyes to the body on the ground. Tears began to build up in her eyes. Neak held out his arms and Tess crawled into his them and began to bawl.

"W-w-why is...she can't be...mommy." She cried looking at the mangled body of her mother.

Neak pulled Tess closer to him and rocked her back and forth. He closed his eyes and whispered "shh" to Tess while she cried into his chest.

After about an hour, Neak let go of Tess and swept the dead body gracefully up into his arms. "We are leaving." He said to Tess. The two irkens walked back to their base in mourning.

Back at Lei's Base

Zim propped himself on his elbows to look around, but pain overwhelmed him and he fell back on the table and groaned. He moved his eyes to the stab wound on his chest. It had been sewed up and was still a bit red.

The groan had caused Lei and Dib to turn to their attention back to the irken on the metal table who was starring at his wound.

Lei let out a sigh and quickly walked over to the table. "Zim, how do you feel?" She asked.

Zim turned his head towards Lei and looked into her eyes. "Better than before." He smiled, holding back a grimace as Dib pulled out some sort of tubing device.

Lei smiled back at him and pecked him on the cheek, causing Zim to blush madly. "That's good." She whispered to him. She smiled once more, then returned to her computer.

"Master! You're alive!" Gir shrieked and jumped on Zim and hugged him.

Zim gasped at the sudden weight pressing on him. "Yeah, I guess I am. Now get off me before you kill me again."

Gir jumped off him and picked up Sali and twirled her chanting he's alive while Sali giggled, then both S.I.R's ran out of the base

Dib walked up to Lei who was pulling some wires out of Zim and putting them back in there places. "I love you." He said as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and kissed her neck.

"Not right now." She said squirming out of his grasp.

Dib frowned. "Awe, but Lei." He cupped her face in his hands.

She pulled his hands away from her. "No!" She said harshly. "Give me some time to think about...this." She said making a motion to Dib and herself. "We are going way to fast and I just need time to just sit down and think, okay."

Dib stepped back and nodded.

Lei turned back to Zim and began to check him over.

"You can at least stop babying Zim." Dib said in a disgusted tone.

Lei spun at him with anger. "What? He was fucken stabbed and is in crucial condition!" She advanced on Dib. "How dare you even say that! Get out!" She said sternly.

Dib looked at her with wide eyes. "I'm sorry." He stuttered.

"Get out!" She yelled with anger.

Dib slinked away and out of the base.

Lei turned back to Zim who was watching her. "I need to go for a minute." She quickly made her way into the hall.

Lei ran outside the entrance to the lab and slid down the wall. She was so confused. Confused of who she loved, of what happened, and what will happen. She couldn't bring herself to think that she only thought of Dib as a friend and nothing more and tha,t maybe last night happened in the heat of the moment. Maybe she did love Dib, but loved Zim more. She had to make a choice, and with her choice, she will lose a best friend.

She had been sitting in her spot for about an hour till Zim managed to drag himself from the table to the entrance way. He held onto the wall for support and looked down at Lei who was silently crying with her face buried in her arms.

"Hey, are you alright?" He said still clinging to the door frame.

She looked up at the irken and wiped the tears out of her eyes and smiled. "I'm fine."

Zim frowned at her. "No you aren't, don't lie." He plopped himself down beside her.

She sighed and buried her face back into her arms. "I'm just confused with everything." She said into her knees.

Zim fished an arm around her shoulders and drew her into his chest, trying to comfort the crying girl. She seemed to tense a bit, then relaxed at the sudden warmth of the irken body. He placed his head on top of hers as she snuggled into him and silently cried.

"I don't know what to do." She whispered into his chest. She seemed to have stopped crying.

Zim hugged her closer. "You will, you always do." He whispered into her hair.

Lei looked up into Zim's crimson orbs. "Thanks." She passionately kissed him. Zim kissed her back then pulled away and smiled.

Lei smiled as well. "I've got to go give my mind a rest." She crawled out of Zim's grasp and helped him up. "You can stay here if you want. The couch is probably more comfortable than the table."

"Yeah, I think I will take the couch." He smirked making Lei laugh a tiny bit. "ZIIM made you laugh." He said weakly, trying to lighten the moment.

Lei turned her back to him, hiding a smile. "I'm trying to be serous here."

Zim moaned. "You're always serious and motherly."

"Only because you and Dib are always out to get each other and rip one another's throats out." She stated giving Zim a look. "You've got to get some rest. I will set up the couch for you."

Zim followed Lei up to the main floor and was asleep in the next hour.

Sorry if it's so blunt and kind of quick to the point. Review and tell me what you think ^_^
