Awww thanks for the reviews guys!
Jesse's POV
I awoke to Zim shaking me. Today he seemed nicer...wait...this wasn't Zim shaking me.
"Hey sweetie. Jesse, baby it's time to get up." I looked up and saw...Cameron?
"Cameron?" I whimpered. He nodded.
"I have a lot of explainig to do, don't I?" I nodded, and put my arms up.
"Carry me." I whined. His arms slipped under me and I was lifted from the bed. I put my arms around his neck, and almost fell asleep in his arms. If he hadn't sat down on the couch when he did, I would have. He leaned back a little as I cuddled into him. We were still at Zim's base.
"I'm sooo sooo so sorry Andrea and Matthew left you here, hun. I didn't even know that they were moving! I had to go into work and I guess they packed everything up and left quickly. I'm sooo sorry baby I didn't even know." He said, brushing some of my stray hair out of my face. "But...I understand if you want to stay here. Zim seems like a very nice kid and he's helped you out I think a little more than you realize. But there's something that I want you to know and you have to promise me you won't hate me after I tell you, because I was sworn to secrecy but now I'm off the hook." I nodded and looked up at him.
"I know about Irkens. I was the one they chose to take care of you and I am so sorry I didn't tell you sooner." I was stunned. I shakily stood and stretched.
"Where's Zim?" I asked.
"His lab. Preparing." I nodded and walked down the stairs, and saw Zim in his lab trying on a tux. There was a Purple dress with no straps and it looked like it would go down to my knees. It had a black belt right under the chest area that tied in the back. I saw a pair of black high heeled shoes and then a box that looked like it held jewelry in it.
"Zim...you look amazing." I said. I really never thought I would see him in a tux. He smiled at me and motioned towards the dress. I walked over and he turned. I undressed and got into the dress.
"Hey Zim can you zip me in the back?" He turned, zipped me up, and then put the sash on. He tied it in the back and then lifted me up and set me on a table. He slipped the black high heeled shoes on my feet and then opened the long box that held a silver bracelet with purple gems and earrings that were the Irken Insignia; one was red and one was purple. He put the bracelet on my wrist and carefully put the earrings in.
"Zim I can do this by myself..."
"You are my mate. I insist on doing it for you." He said. I got down from the table, walked to my bathroom, and got my makeup on. I decided to wear purple eyeshadow and then I walked back into the living room.
"I don't see why we had to get so dressed up..." I said as a knock at the door cut me off. Zim walked over and answered. Two men who looked like they were in their mid-forties walked in. They were both wearing tux's, one had a purple tie and one had a red tie. The one with the purple tie had purple eyes and a hairstyle like Zim's. The other man looked the same only he had red eyes. I grasped my amulet and then my hands went back behind my back. Zim quickly came and stood by me. I curtsied, Zim bowed.
"My Tallest, it is a pleasure." We said at the same time. We both stood after three minutes. Tallest Purple cupped my cheek in his hand, and stroked it slightly with his thumb.
"My daughter...you have turned into a beautiful, caring, young woman. I must say I am pleased." I smiled, and warmed at the feel of his hand. He smiled.
"Cameron, you have done well and for this you will be rewarded. I'm sorry it took so long for us to get back-" Cameron nodded.
"I understand. I'm just glad you were reminded." I was very confused. How could someone forget they had a daughter? I shrugged a little, it wasn't noticeable, and then Tallest Purple turned his attention back to me. He removed his hand from my cheek and pulled me into a tight hug. A hug that I longed for at night...a hug that made me feel safe. I teared up a little and felt a few tears roll down my cheeks. I was just so happy to be back in my real father's arms...I caught a slight heart-broken look from Tallest Red, as if he missed something similar...I shook it off and buried my face in my fathers chest. I was so happy to feel loved...I'd never felt this way before. I felt my dad lean down and kiss me on the forehead.
"I love you baby...I don't think you'll ever know how much I missed you." My little tears became rivers as he said this.
"I-I love you two daddy!" I said, hugging him tighter. He rubbed my back and after a few minutes pulled away and crouched down to eye level with me. He rubbed my arms; I saw he had tears in his eyes too. He smiled.
"L-last time I saw you you were just a little girl...and now you've gotten so tall and even more beautiful than you were. You've grown up; I'm so sorry I missed every second of it." He said, hugging me around the waist. Tears continued to roll down my cheeks and onto his jacket as I hugged him back. "I wish I could have those thirteen years back." He said apologetically. I nodded and he stood, and kissed me on the forehead again. I smiled bigger than I ever had- This was the best late birthday present I could have ever gotten.
"Come on, let's go celebrate Jesse's birthday like we planned." Zim said, walking over. My dad let me go and me, my father, Zim, and I guess My Uncle Red walked out of the house and to the 'car' (voot disguised as a car) that The Tallest arrived in. Zim and I sat in the back-my father and Uncle were in the front. We pulled up to a fancy resturant and had a wonderful dinner. Zim had made sure he and the tallest could actually eat the food-he just was too stubborn to tell me how.
After dinner, Red, Dad, and Zim dropped me off at the house and told me they'd be back in about an hour. I sat on the couch with Gir and Erin. Gir had his arm around Erin and Erin had her head on his shoulder...you just couldn't help but say AWWWWWWWWWWWW! I smiled at them and turned and watched the Angry Monkey Show.
"HAHA DE MONKEH IS SOOO MAD! HE BE LIKE MASTAH GETS SOMETIMES!" I stared at Gir in confusion. The little robot...I loved him but I could see how Zim could get annoyed. Before I even realized it, Zim, Red, and Dad were walking inside with gifts in their hands. A hand felw to my mouth.
"Aw you guys didn't have to do that!"
"Yes we did." Zim said as he and Red as next to me and Dad sat on my other side. Zim handed me his first. It was a cute purple purse.
"Aw thanks Zim that's really thoughtful of you!" He smiled.
"That's not all." He said smiling. I opened the purse a little, and saw that there was a whole new set of make up and a gift card to Hot Topic inside. I hugged Zim and then sat back down as Red handed me his.
"Happy birthday Sweetie." He said as I opened it. It was a brand new cell phone. I almost dropped it in shock. He had even taken the time to get a sparkily purple cover for it.
"Oh my gosh thank you so much!" I said, standing up and hugging him. He chuckled.
"It has an unlimeted text and talk package, I figured you'd like it." He said.
"You figured right!" I said, turning on my new blackberry. I then put the phone in my purse and my dad handed me a gift bag. I took the tissue paper out and there was a purple diary with a $250 giftcard to the mall inside and then a set of keys. One key was labled home and the other voot. For a second, I couldn't breathe or speak. My dad smiled.
"I have a house on Irk waiting for you, and a voot waiting also. I want you to finish out your skool years here on Earth, and then you and Zim could come live on Irk. Zim and I both smiled. "It's also a summer home, so during the summer you guys can come visit." He said. I hugged him and he pulled me into his lap.
"Happy Birthday Baby." He whispered in my ear and kissed me on the cheek.
"Thank you so much Daddy." I said, snuggling into him. A few hours later, It was nine o'clock and Red and Dad left to go to their hotel room they had rented. I got out of the clothes I was wearing and into my pajamas, and then went on to bed; Erin following and sleeping in the bed with me.
This was the best birthday ever.
