Kim rolled over to greet the sun streaming in through the window of their room. Sitting up she glanced around for her robe. It was lying on the floor at the door to the room. She must have dropped it on the way to the room. A slight snore came to her ear. Turning around she saw Ron asleep on the other side of the bed. There was a line of pillows down the middle of the bed separating the two. Kim smiled at her friend as he lay there snoring. She sat up and stretched her arms over her head and then leaned forward to bend and crack her back. Ron rolled over to smile at her. Kim started to bend forward and he started to sit up. They met halfway for a brief kiss. Kim's arms wrapped around Ron's neck and he pulled her down with him. They snuggled for a moment then Ron rolled over and pushed himself up with his arms. Kim lay to the side as she smiled up at him. Ron stretched his back a couple of times then lowered himself down beside Kim. Kim raised her legs up in the air and waved them back and forth. Lowering them back down to the bed she rolled over and gave Ron a nip on the nose.
"We better get ready and get some breakfast."
Ron nodded and rolled to the side of the bed and looked down.
"Is my backpack on that side, because yours is over here?"
Kim grinned and waved a pair of boxers in the air.
"One clean pair of boxers. Now do me a favor and grab me a fresh jog bra out."
Ron reached into Kim's pack and pulled the item she wanted out and handed it to her. She tossed the boxers to her and he tossed the bra to her.
Kim sat up and pushed the button to close the blinds of the room.
"Let's not give the world a show. Not that anyone was watching. You first buster. Then as I get ready, YOU are to order up breakfast. I want pancakes, bacon, and coffee."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kim savored the warm cup of coffee in her hands. Ron had ordered pancakes, bacon, sausage, hash browns and coffee. The hotel staff had prepared the meal and brought it to the door. The two of them ate on the veranda of their room overlooking the landscape.
Kim's hair shown in the morning sun as she sipped from her cup. Ron speared a piece of pancake and presented it to Kim. She bent forward for the morsel of food. Her foot came up and circled around the back of this calf and rubbed.
"So what's on the schedule for today."
Ron finished his juice, sat back and closed his eyes as Kim's foot caressed the back of his leg. Rufus hopped up and dove into the remains for Ron's plate.
"Mmmmmm, I am thinking about going back to the room for a little…."
Kim smiled.
"Down boy. Not that I don't agree. Buuuut. I think we can find some other interesting things to do."
Ron opened his eyes to see Kim gazing at him with smoky eyes. The curved smile on her face promised something very interesting. Kim purred as she leaned forward.
"How about we get the hotel to fix a couple of box lunches and we can have a picnic."
Ron smiled.
"I think a picnic with the hottest cheerleader in the world would be great."
Kim reached up to play with a lock of her hair. Ron wanted to tell her one day that doing that drove him crazy.
"I think we are going to have a great time…"
Be be be beep
Kim groaned.
"OR NOT"
Kim pulled out the Kimmunicator.
"What's the sitch Wade?"
Wade's face came up on the screen.
"Sorry for interrupting your little down time but there is a small government lab nearby. Drakken and Shego have been tracked to the area. The director of the site sent out a distress message then went off the air."
Kim turned to Ron who nodded. Kim turned back to Wade.
"Do you have us a ride?"
Wade typed on his keyboard.
"By the time you change and get outside it will be waiting for you."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Captain Robert crossed his arms and stood in from of Sheriff Gore.
"Bud. I have told you once. I will not tell you again. Your men can support the guard around the base but you do not have permission to enter inside the gates. Your men do not have the equipment or have the training to handle the persons in there."
Bud Gore snapped up to Roberts.
"What did you say? That my boys don't have the training? That they can't handle some gal and her dude?"
Captain Roberts settled back.
"Bud, this is a top secret facility. Even I can't go in most of the areas. Now the government is sending in two specialists who have the clearances, and the training, and the equipment, and the experience in handling the two that are in there. Now until they get here and tell us what to do we have orders to stay out."
Gore's face started to turn red.
"YOU mean some people are going to come in here into my county and tell me and my boys what to do?"
Roberts nodded.
"Yep, that's the way it is. Now I have heard they should be here soon so tell your boys to patrol the perimeter and keep out those who should not be here."
Gore spun around with a muted curse and mumbled into his radio. Roberts smiled to himself. He knew Team Possible was on the way. He could imagine what Bud Gore's reaction would be when he found out that two teenagers would be giving him his orders.
Gore stomped his way to the main gate. Four of his deputies were manning the first checkpoint. Several news crews were trying to get by but were being held back by the barriers. Bud noticed a purple car pull up to the gate. Two teenagers climbed out. The driver was a young girl. She had on a purple top with black pants that had a purple stripe down the outside of the legs. A small holster was on her right hip. The boy had on a black tank top and wore brown cargo pants. He carried a backpack on his shoulder. Both of them approached the second checkpoint manned by a group of Marines. His eyes grew narrow as the troops allowed the teenagers to pass.
"HEY YOU TWO where do you think you are going?"
Kim and Ron stopped to face the Sheriff as he approached them with a number of his deputies.
"JUST what to you two kids think you are doing here. Now get out of here before I put you under arrest for trespass."
Kim turned to face Bud.
"AH Sheriff Gore? We are supposed to be here. Those Marines knew that and cleared us through. Now why don't you go back to work? Come on Ron."
Kim turned from Gore and took a couple of steps toward the base.
Bud grabbed her arm.
"NOW hold on little missy. I haven't cleared you and you take one more step toward that building you will be under arrest."
Kim rolled her eyes and reached into her pouch to get her ID.
Bud saw the pistol grip of the grapple gun.
"GUN!!"
Gore dove to the ground, drew his pistol and fired at Kim. The bullet sliced through the air where Kim's chest had been. She had jumped out of the way before the bullet left the barrel. Kim vaulted back onto her feet and held up her hand.
"STOP"
Bud took aim again when Ron kicked his gun to the side. A second deputy tackled Ron from behind as Kim leaped toward the first deputy and knocked his pistol out of his hand. Bud jumped up and drew his pepper spray.
"KP LOOK OUT"
Kim turned toward the yell to catch a face full of pepper spray. She went down her hand covering her face. Ron took a step toward her and was hit by pepper spray from another deputy. Gore pulled handcuffs from his belt, rolled Kim over and locked them down on her wrists. When he stood, he turned to see Ron had been cuffed.
"I am charging you with assault on a law enforcement officer, assault, assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a weapon, and trespassing. Get them out of here."
Two of the deputies pulled Kim and Ron to their feet and put them in a squad car.
"GORE! YOU STUPID IDOIT! JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"
Gore spun to see Captain Roberts approaching with a squad of armed troops.
"These two kids tried to break in here. When I stopped them this here girl tried to pull a gun on me. I drew on her and fired. Next thing I know this boy here attacked me. But we got them and they are going away for a long time."
Roberts shook his head.
"Bud. They are not going anywhere and if you have a job by the end of the week I will be surprised. You just assaulted the Global Justice agents sent to help."
Gore shook his head.
"They are just two kids."
Three men is assault gear walked up. The first flipped a folder in Bud's face. Bud's face flushed when he saw a FBI Hostage Rescue Team identification.
"Sheriff Gore, you will release those two immediately. You will then consider yourself and your men detained for the assault on federal officers. Drop your weapons and stand aside."
Gore shook his head.
"This is my county and NO FED is gonna tell me to release somebody I just arrested. I you want'em, get a court order or if you think you are good enough to take me and me boys."
Gore heard the slides of several assault rifles being charged and when he turned back to the officer he realized he was staring down the barrel of a rifle.
"Sheriff Gore, I don't have time to deal your fat assed ego. Sergeant! Take this fat slab of beef under arrest along with any of his men that try to stop you. Get those two out of the car and release them."
A trooper stepped over to the car, opened the door and pulled Kim and Ron out. Medics immediately took both of them to the side and began to treat them for the pepper spray. There was an explosion and everyone turned to see a hovercraft take off through the roof of the center and fly off.
Roberts turned back to Gore.
"Bud, when an investigation is started on your actions, I plan to make sure that everyone will know that the reason that whatever was stolen or lost, was because you and your ego overstepped itself. Now whether or not Team Possible files any charges against you will be their decision."
He turned to his troopers.
"Get him out of my sight."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three weeks later.
Middleton High School
Ron waited for Kim to meet him at their lockers. The two had been enjoying a nice break for the past couple of weeks. They decided not to press charges against Sheriff Gore and his men. It would have been too much trouble and too much bad press. The press had not been kind to them lately. Instead of the two of them being promoted as the victims, they were instead two arrogant teenagers who walked into a secured area. It didn't matter that the two of them had been cleared by the marine guards, all the press saw was the two of them in an altercation with some law enforcement officers.
Ron was worried about Kim. She had not been feeling well the past couple of days, especially in the mornings. Ron had picked her up the past couple of days a little late as she had been sick every morning.
"Ron!"
He twirled around to face Monique.
"OH hey Monique. Have you seen Kim?"
Monique grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I just left her hugging the porcelain throne. Everyone knows she has been getting sick in the morning and all know that the two of you spent the night together in that fancy hotel. Now have you two not been telling me everything?"
Ron was puzzled.
"What else do you want to know, we have told you everything?"
Monique gave him a look with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you sure? I mean I know the two of you love each other, but did you decide to prove it?"
Ron thought for minute.
"What do you mean?"
Monique rolled her eyes.
"Ron. The two of you spent the night in a honeymoon suite by yourselves. Then weeks later she starts getting sick in the morning. Now, what to you think everyone else would think."
Ron just stared back at her.
Monique rolled her eyes again and leaned forward to whisper into his ears. When she pulled back Ron's face could have matched Kim's hair. Ron raised a finger in the air.
"So everyone thinks we…… and now they think she is….."
Monique nodded.
"OOOOhhhh brother."
"Hey Ron."
Ron spun at the weak voice of Kim. He rushed to her side and took her arm. He noticed everyone in the hall was watching them.
"You okay KP?"
Kim nodded.
"I think so. I don't feel as bad after lunch. Right now I think I just need…."
"POSSIBLE! STOPPABLE! MY OFFICE NOW!"
Ron helped Kim to her feet and the two of them followed Barkin toward his office. Ron saw Bonnie whispering to a number of girls in her food chain gang. She flashed that grin that Ron knew was not good. The two teens entered Barkin's office and took the two seats in front of his desk. Barkin came in along with the school nurse. Barkin took a seat while Mrs. Potter the nurse took a seat beside him.
"Possible, Stoppable. I called you in here because I don't put much faith in rumors, but when I investigate and see facts that back up those rumors then I have to act. I am sure that the two of you are aware of what is going on."
Kim hesitated for a moment.
"Mr. Barkin. Uhhhhh… I am not sure what is going on. I have had a bug for the past few days, but that is about it. We had that mission a few weeks ago."
Ron turned to Kim and whispered into her ear. Her face immediately turned the color of her hair.
She took Ron's hand.
"Mr. Barkin, we can both swear that we have not done anything that would lead to that condition."
Barkin put his elbows on his desk, placed his chin on hands and looked at the teens.
"I will accept the fact of what the two of you say. But let me remind you that the entire school knows where both of you were before you went on that mission. Now, I know that the two of you travel unchaperoned a great deal. It speaks well of you and your parents that they trust you to travel like that. However, you were not on a mission at the time of the stay at that resort and the two of you shared a room."
Ron raised his hand.
"Technically, Mr. B. We were still on a mission, it just we took a little detour coming back. With the permission of our parents."
Barkin stared back at Ron for a moment.
"That may be true Mr. Stoppable. However, the fact is that the two of you are a well known couple in the school and in the public eye. You have known each other for better part of their lives. The fact that the two of you have spent time in detention for PDA lends more to your reputations. Add all that to the fact that the two of you slept unsupervised in a hotel room and the fact that Miss Possible has been sick the past few mornings lends to some interesting rumors. Now. The two of you have told me that nothing has occurred. I will accept that as fact. However, if what you have said is not true, then I would ask you to reconsider what you have said and at least contact the school nurse. Now, it is after lunch and I think the two of you need to go home. I will sign you out."
Kim sat up.
"Mr. Barkin, if you don't mind. We would rather finish out the day. If the rumor is out there as you say. Then if we go home after being called into your office would only lend more evidence to that rumor."
Barkin stopped for a moment then nodded.
"Okay, Miss Possible. That could well be true. You may go. The secretary will give you your hall pass. If at any time you need to speak to myself or the nurse, you know where to find us."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron drove the Sloth out of the Student Parking Lot. Kim just didn't feel like driving. It wasn't that she really felt bad, but the whispering and pointing just out of her vision had driven her crazy. Both of them had collared Monique after class and gave her the lowdown on what had happened. She would make sure the facts got out, but right now the fiction was more fun than the fact. Luckily there was no cheer practice, after dealing with all the stares neither one of them was ready to deal with Bonnie.
Kim was silent as they pulled into traffic. Kim turned to Ron as he headed for Kim's house.
"I thought we were going to BN."
Ron shrugged.
"I didn't think you would want to. I mean you stomach is already upset and the food there is not really good for an upset tummy. Even one as beautiful as yours. Also, a lot of the students will be there. I thought you might have had enough of people staring at you for the day."
Kim put her hand on his leg and rubbed back and forth.
"Ron, my stomach is okay, though I might just get a coke or something. Plus, if we go hide then the rumors will just be worse. We need to go on like nothing is wrong, because it isn't."
Ron pulled through a parking lot to turn around and headed back to BN. They were just getting ready to pull in the parking lot when the Kimmunicator went off. Kim activated her wrist unit.
"What's the sitch Wade?"
Wade typed quickly on his keyboard.
"Drakken and Shego have been spotted in Sweden. I already have a ride ready."
Kim raised a finger at Ron before he could say anything.
"Pick us up at Bueno Nacho."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kim and Ron worked their way through some bushes lined the perimeter of the building were Wade told them Drakken and Shego were hiding. They glanced in one of the windows. They could see Shego sitting in a chair in across the room. Drakken was pacing back and forth across the room. There were a number of boxes piled up against one of the walls.
"Shego, why are we not in a regular lair?"
There was a bang as Shego slammed her chair down.
"DUH! The normal lairs are right where Kimmie and the sidekick would look. I don't think they would look for us in an old abandoned warehouse for a chocolate factory in Sweden."
Drakken inhaled deeply.
"Ahhhh, it smells just like CocoMoo."
"Well, breathe deep because you won't smell it where you are going."
Shego jerked up and fell back in her chair.
"Kim Possible?"
Shego scowled at Drakken as she stood up.
"Dr. D. Must you say that every time she shows up?"
Drakken wrung his hands out.
"Well, I guess it is a bad habit of mine."
Shego turned to Kim with a grin.
"Ohhhh, but I am going to enjoy this habit. Kicking your biscuit."
Kim slipped into her fighting stance.
"We'll see."
Shego drove at Kim while throwing a plasma ball. Kim ducked the plasma and kicked out at Shego. Shego blocked the kick and spun around to throw an elbow at Kim's head. Kim jumped expecting a leg sweep and caught the elbow right in her stomach. She gagged and fell to the floor. Shego looked down.
"Wow that was easy."
"KP!"
Ron, who had been dismantling the device Drakken had been building. He grabbed some paper off the lab desk and stuffed them in the pockets to his pants. Shego fired a plasma ball and incinerated the desk as he dove out of the way.
"Dr. D. Let's get out of here."
Shego grabbed Drakken and pulled him out the door. Ron heard a hovercraft take off and fly away. Ron ran to Kim's side. She lay on the floor gagging and throwing up.
Ron pulled her up into his arms and activated the Kimmunicator.
"Wade, Kim's hurt and I need to find a doctor's office fast and close."
Wade typed quickly and scanned his screen.
"Well, it's not a hospital but there is a clinic about a half mile away. I contact them and let them know you are coming."
Ron nodding and got Kim into his arms, she was pale and moaning. He gave her a little kiss.
"Hang on KP. I get some help for you."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ron pulled Kim's car into the garage of Kim's house then got out to run around the car and help her out. The Global Justice car had picked them up after they left the doctor's office. They had to take a regular flight because all the GJ assets were busy. Kim took his hand and he helped her to the door. Kim leaned on Ron as he helped her to the door. They were both exhausted . As he opened the door he was met by a red faced and glaring Mr. Possible.
"Both of you in the living room now! Young lady you sit over here. Ronald you stand over there."
Ron looked at Mr. Possible.
"Uh, MrDrP. Is there something wrong?"
Dr. Possible grabbed Ron and slung him against the wall.
"I SAID MOVE!"
Kim grabbed her father and spun him around to face her.
"DADDY! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
Mr. Possible stuffed a paper in Kim's face.
"YOUNG lady do you have an explanation for this?"
Kim looked at the paper and gasped. There was a picture of her being helped by Ron out of the clinic where he had taken her to be treated for the hit from Shego.
"TEEN HERO KIM POSSIBLE PREGNANT? GET'S AN ABORTION?"
Kim read the story quickly her face getting pale as she read. Apparently the clinic was actually an abortion clinic as well as a medical office. They had treated her as an emergency but a photographer had taken pictures of the two of them coming out. As Kim read she opened the paper for more of the story. She closed her eyes. There were pictures of the two of them from some distance while they were in the room at the resort. There was a clear set of three pictures of her from the back looking at Ron. The picture showed here taking off her robe. Since she was wearing a strapless bra and the photo were from just below her shoulders and up there was no doubt what the pictures implied. There were pictures of everything. Then there were stories from different students at the high school all confirming that Kim had been getting sick in the morning.
"Daddy. It's not like that."
Mr. Possible motioned for the two of them to follow him. Anne was sitting one the couch with more papers. The phone rang but no one answered it. James pointed to the TV.
Kim face began to tear. There on the TV was a video through the window of their room. Kim watched as she sat up and stretched her arms over her head then leaned forward like she was on top of someone. Ron appeared and Kim leaned forward to kiss him. She was pulled out of sight for a second when Ron appeared pushing up with his arms and looking down. You could not see them directly but with clothes flying around and one or the other of them appearing in the window looking down. His back moved up and down while his shoulders stayed still. Then he disappeared as he lowered himself down. As he did Kim's legs appeared waving in the air for a few seconds then disappeared. The tape ended at that moment. There was no doubt what it looked like.
Ron turned to Dr. Possible. The father of his girlfriend was glaring back at him.
"Mr.Dr.P. I know what it looks like. But nothing happened. I love Kim. But we haven't done anything like that. Please!"
James stared at Ron for a moment and spoke with clenched teeth.
"Ronald, right now I want you out of my house. I will decide IF and WHEN you will ever be allowed to see her again."
Anne stood up.
"James, calm down."
He turned to his wife, but didn't say a word as she glared back at him.
Kim was going to speak when her father turned to her.
"Kimberly if you say one word young lady you will be graduating from college before you will be allowed to speak to another boy much less Ron."
Ron took one step toward him.
"Please Dr.P. We didn't do anything."
James lurched across the room and pushed Ron who spilled to the floor. He knocked over a side table sending a lamp shattering to the floor.
"GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!"
"DADDY" Kim screamed as she ran to reach Ron, but her father grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"James!"
Anne ran to Ron and helped him get up. She ushered him to the door and in full view of her husband gave him a big hug and a kiss. Then she whispered something in his ear as he left. Ron stared back at her and nodded as he went out the door.
"DADDY HOW COULD YOU? Are you listening, don't you trust us? I am telling you nothing happened and I am not, was not pregnant!"
Kim forced herself to be calm. She looked calmly up at her father and spoke with a soft voice as her mother returned to the room.
"Daddy, nothing happened. We were fully clothed at all times. Ron built a wall of blankets and pillows between us in the bed. He was a perfect gentleman at all times and has always treated me with the greatest care and respect. He told the truth when he said nothing happened. I am telling you nothing happened. Now. I am going to ask you. You have always, always trusted me. You have let me live this life and trusted me to make the right decisions. Nothing happened. I was a little sick when we had to go on this last mission and Shego caught me in the stomach. It just took me out of the fight. Ron got me to the closest doctor he could find. We didn't know it was an abortion clinic until we just walked in the door. Now I will ask you and I want you to look me straight in the eye. Who are you going to believe? Ron and I or the news people who are always after us?"
Kim stood there waiting for her father to answer. He hesitated for a moment as he rubbed the back of his neck. Tears began to flow from Kim's face. She slumped and bowed her head. Mr. P stepped forward.
"Kimmiecub, I…."
Kim raised her hand.
"No daddy. I am not Kimmiecub anymore. You just answered my question quite clearly. I no longer have your trust. I am going to my room now. I would ask you to give me some privacy. You seem to have taken away everything else that matters to me."
Kim turned headed up the stairs to her room. She stopped faced her dad, her face soaked in tears.
"No matter what daddy. I love you."
"Kim."
James tried to speak to Kim after she had already left the room. A hand landed on his shoulder and spun him around. Anne stood there staring into his face trying to speak but couldn't. Her mouth was almost a snarl, but all of James' attention was on the raised, open hand of his wife. She worked her fingers a bit, and then slowly lowered her hand to her side, holding it in a clenched fist.
"Anne?" James said with wide eyes, and an almost shaky voice. Neither one of them had ever come this close to striking the other in their history as a couple.
Anne turned, reached down and grabbed the blanket off the couch and threw it into his arms. After she shook her head and left the room, the sound of the bedroom door slamming and locking came to his ears. He stood looking at the overturned table and shattered lamp. The papers lay strewn on the floor and the TV droned on. He closed his eyes and slumped onto the couch. Dropping the blanket he covered his face with his hands.
"OH my god what have I done?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's it for my part now. Things seem to be falling apart for Kim and Ron now. Now it's in the capable hands of Whitem. Take it away partner.
