Chapter 11: Welcome Home

Middleton, Colorado, December 17, 6:00 P.M.

Kim pulled the Sloth up to her parents' house. She and Ron got out of the front seats, and Krista got out the back, her heart pounding and her stomach feeling like there were a bunch of butterflies in it. She stopped and looked at the front of the house: A brown brick front, with different shapes of windows and a wrap-around porch. It was smaller than her old house, but to her it seemed more like a home now than her old one had ever been. Hesitantly, she followed her parents up the front walk.

Ron rang the doorbell. A few moments later, the door opened, and Krista saw an older version of Kim standing in the doorway.

"Kimmie! Ron! So glad you're home! How'd the mission go?" Anne Possible hugged her daughter and son-in-law, not noticing the blonde eleven-year-old standing behind them until she pulled back.

"Oh! Who's this?" Anne asked. She looked an awful lot like Kim and Ron, but maybe it was just a coincidence.

Kim and Ron smiled at each other, then gently pushed Krista in front of them.

"Mom, I would like you to meet your granddaughter, Krista Ruthie Stoppable," Kim introduced. It took a moment for those words to register in Anne's brain, and when they did, her eyes brimmed with tears. Her granddaughter.

"James! James, come here!" she called to her husband. James Possible appeared in the front hallway.

"What's all the yelling about, Anne?" he asked his wife. Anne ran to her husband and led him toward the door.

"Hello, Kimmie-Cub. Ronald. Who's this?" James asked, indicating Krista.

"James, this is our granddaughter, Krista," Anne told her husband with joy. Kim thought she saw a tear in her father's eye for a moment.

"Krista, these are your grandparents, Grandma Anne and Grandpa James," Kim said.

"Um, hi," Krista said nervously. She wasn't very good at meeting new people. Especially a long-lost family she never knew she had.

Anne couldn't contain herself. She rushed forward and hugged the granddaughter she thought she'd never see again. Krista tentatively returned the hug.

"Where are the Tweebs?" Kim asked her father.

"They'll be over in a few minutes for dinner. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to finally meet their niece," James said.

Kim, Ron, and Krista finally came into the house and settled into the living room. When Jim and Tim got there, there was another round of introductions and hugging.

"This is your Uncle Tim and Uncle Jim," Kim said. Ron's parents and little sister, who was now thirteen, even came over, and then Krista got to meet Grandpa Gene, Grandma Beth, and Aunt Hanna. It was slightly awkward and overwhelming for Krista. She was meeting and learning about eleven years' worth of family in just one night.

"So, Krista, what are your hobbies?" Anne asked her granddaughter.

"I've danced since I was two," Krista replied. "But I've kind of been thinking of learning some gymnastics."

"She gets that from her mother," James said.

"Do you have any favorite restaurants?" Tim asked her.

"Bueno Nacho is my favorite," Krista said.

"And that's from her father," Kim said. Everyone laughed.

"You know, Krista, your father invented the Naco when he and Kim were in high school," Gene said.

"Yeah, and then his head got so big, he could've worn that sombrero roof," Kim said, playfully elbowing Ron.

"Hey, you would've done the same thing if you got your hands on ninety-nine million dollars!" Ron defended himself. Kim kissed him on the cheek.

The night waned away, the family happily talking and laughing together. By midnight, Krista had long since gone to bed, having been exhausted from the day's events. Before heading off to the guest room, Kim and Ron looked in on their daughter sleeping peacefully in Kim's old room. They smiled at her, and Kim whispered into the darkness.

"Welcome home, baby girl."
