Doofenshmirtz opened his tired eyes smiling. Perry was still nestled in his arms. He lightly hugged him "Morning Perry the Platypus…" Perry nuzzled into him stretching his arms. Doofenshmirtz got up stretching but Perry pulled him back onto the bed tickling him.
Doofenshmirtz laughed blushing "haha! No no Perry the Platypus stop it…! I've got to check on our little Becky!" Perry smiled releasing him. Doofenshmirtz got up again and Perry closed his eyes once more to get a bit more sleep. He opened his eyes wide to a deafening scream and Doofenshmirtz panting in the doorway "BECKY…SH-SHE'S GONE PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"
Tears were welling up in their eyes as they both ran towards the empty cot. Perry climbed into it helplessly searching for their child. Doofenshmirtz fell down in a feeble position on the floor and began to cry "oh it's all my fault…i-i-I shouldn't of left her…I'm so useless…a terrible father twice over!"
Perry looked at him angrily 'yes, yes it is all your fault! If we hadn't of gone on that magical evening this never would have happened!' Perry's eyes began to well up as he looked at her toy duck that she loved so. He hugged it tears streaming down his face 'Oh Becky…' he opened his eyes to find a blue note underneath her pillow. He handed it to the snivelling Heinz who was now in a puddle of his own tears. Doofenshmirtz read it aloud and the lump in his throat began to go down
"Dad, I found you're so called daughter Becky and I can't believe you never told me! This is the stupidest thing you've ever done! I'm taking her to Mom so she can be raised properly not by some incoherent 15 dollar doctor and a platypus! From your REAL daughter Vanessa a.k.a the babysitter you hired…" he blinked a few times staring at the note blankly. So many questions were running in his head but before he could think of any answers Perry punched him in the mouth
"Ow! Perry the Platy-" tears were still going down Perry's cheeks as he held Doofenshmirtz up by his lab coat, an 'I'm-going-to-bloody-kill-you' look on his face. Doofenshmirtz was struggling in Perry's grasp "Look Perry the Platypus I had no idea that Vanessa was the babysitter! V could've stood for anything! Victoria perhaps or…Vicky or…um can you think of any names starting with V?" Perry kicked him in the stomach sending him across the floor. Doofenshmirtz coughed holding his stomach "…I-i-I'm sorry ok? I screwed up big time…" he looked at the note once more sighing "I have no idea what Vanessa means raising her properly anyway…" he looked up at the confused but still angry Perry "you're the best mother that girl could ask for…a-and I'm sure I couldn't have looked after her without your help Perry the Platypus…I'm nothing without you…you're my nemesis and i…I think I love you more than that…"
Perry looked at him as Doofenshmirtz struggled to get up.
Perry ran over to help him 'I'm sorry…'
Doofenshmirtz smiled as Perry hugged his leg "Besides I don't think beating me up is going to help us get our daughter back"
Vanessa looked up from computer screen glaring at the crying hybrid child a few feet away. Her mother had gone out and Becky had been crying non-stop for 4 hours "Oh would you shut up already?!" Becky continued to wail "I've checked everything I'm supposed to! I've fed you proper baby food rather than that newt stuff I found in the back of the fridge, I even 'checked' you! I don't even know if your digestive system is human…" she waved up a drool covered teddy bear "I even gave you my favourite toy to play with and you ruined it with your secretions!" she stormed off slamming the door behind her "I don't know why I even bother with you!"
Becky sniffed wiping some tears away with her sleeve. She looked back on tail and hugged it tight "…Mama"
After giving Doofenshmirtz a few aspirins and after pacing the floor a few hundred times Perry had finally worked out a plan (well Doofenshmirtz had worked out a few plans but they were declined for being too stupid). Doofenshmirtz sat next to him as Perry drew out some diagrams "Ok Agent P, what did you have in mind?"
Charlene heard the doorbell ring and got up from her book. She opened the door to a well dressed Doofenshmirtz holding flowers.
"Heinz? What are you doing?"
"well I was just in the neighbourhood and saw these flowers and thought of you" he said putting on his best cheesy smile.
She raised an eyebrow closing the door "I find that hard to believe"
Doofenshmirtz put his foot in the way of the door "I'm serious these almost remind me of those flowers I got you on our first date…"
She paused "except they're not on fire" she smiled at him
"See you do remember…don't you remember the way I held your hand as we walked down Danville pier?" Doofenshmirtz walked in getting closer to her
"I remember those crabs attacking you and I had to pull them all off of you one by one" Charlene laughed. He chuckled with her looking down, seeing Perry entering the room. He winked down at him 'God I hope this works…'
Perry sneaked across the wall as Charlene and Doofenshmirtz continued talking.
She brushed her hair back "so what is all this Heinz..? The flowers, the charm…is this about the child Vanessa told me about?"
Doofenshmirtz began to sweat "…huh w-what child?"
Charlene smiled "of course I didn't believe her…should I?"
"Honey…she says I'm evil." He said thinking quickly
"Yeah you're right" she paused thinking "so if it's not about her then what is this about?"
He smiled sitting her down "It's about you. I just think you deserve the best…Specks" She sniggered "wow you haven't called me that since we were married…meine liebe" She placed a hand on his leg. He almost panicked but kept cool 'Keep it together Heinz…you can't give the game away"
Perry winced "eww…but keep up the good work" he turned around walking straight into a table. The vase began to topple and fall. Perry closed his eyes hearing the almighty smash of the vase. Charlene turned around at the new noise Doofenshmirtz panicked. He turned her head towards his and kissed her hard on the lips. She opened her eyes in surprise but eventually closed them again in passion. Doofenshmirtz still had his opened looking at Perry 'Move!' Perry quickly ran into the room with the painted black door which he assumed was Vanessa's. Doofenshmirtz swallowed down some bile looking back on his ex-wife 'that platypus owes me BIG time…'
Becky was sitting on Vanessa's desk playing with some pencils; she didn't notice her mother tip toeing past the sleeping teenager who was flopped over her laptop. He took out Becky's duck from underneath his hat but squeaked it by mistake. Vanessa and Becky stirred at the noise and Perry dived under the bed. She stretched picking up Becky "what do you want beaky?" Becky was clambering over shoulder reaching for her mother and her duck toy "Ba! Ba!" Vanessa struggled to keep her in her arms "would you stay still you little…!" Becky slipped out of Vanessa's arms and began to fall. Perry's eyes widened, he ran and dived under Becky. Luckily he caught her in his arms. "Mama!" she said squeezing the platypus tight in a hug. Perry was panting but suddenly smiled '…her first word!' Vanessa was too stunned to do much. She suddenly closed her front door "Not so fast Perry the Platypus!" Perry began to panic and ran for the window. Becky took of Perry's hat and placed it on her head. She laughed as it went over her eyes. Vanessa headed towards the two "MOM! You've got to see this!"
Charlene looked up from the sofa glasses a skew "what was that?"
Doofenshmirtz was on top of her covered in lipstick his eyes wide "Oh no Perry!"
She looked at him "Perry…?"
Doofenshmirtz eyes widened and smiled bashfully "Hehe…well"
Charlene pushed him off and headed for Vanessa's room.
Becky was pulling stuff out of Perry's bottomless hat; a pencil, a techno watch and a jetpack. Perry blinked at the jetpack and placed it on his back holding Becky in his arms. They darted out of the window with a blast of smoke.
Charlene burst through the door to a smoke Vanessa "Vanessa what is going on?!"
"But mom there was this kid here with Perry the Platypus y'know that secret agent and they were together and they blasted out the window!"
Charlene tapped her foot "you're going to have to clean up that scorch mark you know"
She gaped and looked at Doofenshmirtz "Dad! Tell her!"
He looked at both of them and shrugged "Hey don't ask me" he then darted out the room. He then suddenly came back poking his head through looking up at Charlene "you know I meant none of that ri-"
"I know Heinz."
He waved at Vanessa "Bye sweety!" and re-darted out of the flat.
Vanessa growled looking out of the window "grr…curse you Perry the Platypus!"
Perry landed softly on the balcony of the D.E.I building placing Becky down on the ground. He hugged her tight 'I'm never letting you out of my sight again…' a happy tear slid down his cheek. Doofenshmirtz gasped as he made it up to the balcony. Becky saw her daddy "Wumbo!" he ran up to her pulling her close "Oh my Becky…I'm so happy you're home!" he smiled looking into her eyes "and your first word too!" Perry crossed his eyes. Doofenshmirtz looked at him "what? It's a word. Y'know? I wumbo, you wumbo, he she me wumbo…" Perry laughed as he leapt up at Doofenshmirtz. The three of them fell to the floor laughing. Perry reached up his watch again taking a commemorative picture. They kissed the giggling Becky on the cheeks. Perry and Doofenshmirtz then smiled and kissed each other. It was the three of them, together at last.
