Chapter Two: Unexpected Events
As Rufus fanned a fainted Kim back to consciousness, Ron paced himself around the room glancing a Kim's son. So many things raced in his mind that Ron didn't know where to start!
"Derek," Ron said finally stopping his pacing.
"Yeah?" The 10-year old asked looking at Ron. "Are you going to let me go?! I need to get home!"
"Sure buddy I'ma let you go before your mom wakes up but you gotta tell me something first."
Ron came behind the boy and began untying him.
"Fire away," Derek said.
"If KP's your mother," Ron asked, "then does that mean… uh… ahem… I'm like, your dad?"
"My dad?" Derek asked. "You're not Dad. I never even met you till just a few minutes ago."
Ron froze dead in his tracks. He wasn't his Derek's father? Did Kim… break up with him in the future?
Finally free, Derek jumped up from the chair and grabbed Kim's super suit rapidly. He ran over to Kim's bedroom window and turned his head to Ron as he opened Kim's window.
"Thanks, whoever you are," Derek said saluting Ron as he jumped out of the room.
Ron was bewildered beyond belief. Here he thought his relationship with Kim was at its best ever; he was even planning to propose to her, and then this kid shows up, telling him he wasn't the father of his girlfriend's son and not even knowing who he was!
"Ugh," Kim groaned.
Ron walked towards to Kim's bed. Rufus patted Kim's hand, smiling at her.
"Ron? Rufus?" Kim said placing her hand on her head, feeling a bit light-headed. "Whoa what happened?"
"I think you had too much to drink at the restaurant; that's what happened," Ron teased flashing his goofy smile. He tried desperately to forget what Derek had told him but it was though his mind was set on automatic replay.
"Very funny," Kim said rolling her eyes. She got up from her bed as she continued. "I had the weirdest dream. I dreamt I had a son who came from the future."
Kim spotted her pajamas on the floor and decided to put them and went behind her changing screen. "And the only reason he came from the future was so he can steal my battle suit! Strange huh?"
"Yeah ha-ha-ha, strange," Ron said scratching his nose.
"Something up Ron?" Kim asked, her head sticking out behind the changing screen. "You sound nervous."
"Nothing KP it's just…something made me think about …AH!"
"Ah?" Kim said stepping out of the changing screen to see a teary Derek.
"It's him!" Kim said taking a step back. "It's the kid from my dreams!"
"KP focus," Ron said, looking at a saddened Derek. "What's wrong Derek?" Ron asked, sounding like a father than his usual goofy self as he placed his hand on Derek's shoulder. "Why didn't you go home?"
Kim's mouth dropped as she saw Ron trying to talk to Derek.
Derek didn't say anything but looked at Kim. When Kim didn't say anything he turned his head, shrugged off Ron's touch and walked to Kim's window.
"I wasn't dreaming," Kim said feeling like she was going to faint again. "I have a son."
Kim placed both hands on her head. She shut her eyes and shook her head. "This can't be real! This can't be happening!"
"Kim!"
Kim heard Ron's stern voice and opened her eyes to see her boyfriend's serious face.
"This is real," he said, walking towards her. "Pull yourself together! This isn't the Kim Possible I know. The KP I know would be over there talking to her son." Ron pointed at Derek who was looking at the night sky through the window. "The kid needs his mother Kim," Ron said.
Kim nervously looked at Ron. "Ron, I can't."
"Sure you can. You can do anything," Ron said grinning.
Kim looked at Derek and gulped. She slowly walked to Derek with her hand over her mouth. She turned to see Ron gesturing for her to go ahead and smiled an encouraging smile as he followed her.
"Derek?" Kim asked placing her hand on his shoulder. Derek quickly turned around and hugged Kim tight.
Kim, not knowing what else to do, hugged the boy back, patting him on the back as well. "Hey what's wrong?" Kim asked as sweetly as possible. "Don't cry."
"Mom, I'm stuck here! I can't go home!" Derek cried out.
"Whoa Derek my man, don't fret," Ron said smiling at him, trying to make him feel better. "We'll figure something out, but why don't you tell us what the matter? Why can't you go home?"
Derek let go of Kim's embrace and took out a broken stopwatch from his pocket. He showed it to Ron. "It's broken. When Mom tackled me it must've broken and now I'm stuck here!"
"Hey, it's okay," Ron said.
"No it's not!" Derek said angrily.
"Don't speak to Ron like that, young man," Kim sternly said.
"Sorry," Derek said. "I didn't mean to talk to you like that. It's just...this was the only way of talking to my uncles to let them know I was heading back!"
"It's all good Derek. No hard feelings," Ron said flashing his goofy smile. "Now let's get down to business with this watch sitch. I'm sure Rufus can have that thing up and running in no time," Ron said.
"It isn't that simple," Derek said. "Even if I was able to communicate with them, I still wouldn't be able to get home."
"And why is that exactly?" Kim asked.
"Because the watch is what generates the portal. The energy is transferred from the mainframe to the watch. Without the watch working at its fullest it can't create the portal."
"Okay, so not the Drama," Kim said sounding like herself. "We'll have Wade fix it good as new. After all, he is the creator right?"
Derek nodded.
"Okay then, Wade will just fix it. And before you know it you'll be home in your bed safe and sound."
"Good plan but aren't you forgetting something?" Ron asked making Kim looked at him in confusion. "Wade's on that trip with his parents. You know that place where no technology is allowed. And he won't be back until next Sunday. Ring any bells?"
"That's right." Kim face palmed. "Then I guess Derek has to stay with us until Wade comes back from his trip."
"What?!" Derek exclaimed. "I've gotta stay here a whole week?"
"Plus the time it takes for Wade to fix it," Ron added.
"Not helping," Kim glared at Ron before looking at Derek again. "Don't worry; we'll have it up and running in no time. The time will fly by; you'll see."
"Not that I have a choice in the matter huh?" Derek said.
"Nope. So we both gotta deal with this… um… arrangement," Kim said.
"Okay," Derek mumbled.
"Now how to break the news to my parents about this," Kim wondered, thinking about how her family would take the news or even if they are going to believe her.
"Derek can stay with me for the night, Kim," Ron said stepping in. Both Kim and Derek stared at Ron.
"Ron, are you sure about this?" Kim asked.
"Sure as I've ever been, KP," Ron said, smiling. "Derek can spend the night with Rufus and me until you find a way to tell your parents. My folks won't even notice him since they'll be on a plane to L.A for Dad's actuary conference in a few hours."
Kim thought about Ron's offer as she looked at Derek. It would ease her mind to not worry about someone spotting him in the middle of the night before she could explain the sitch.
"Whacha say Derek? You want to spend the night with Ron and Rufus until I talk to my parents and the tweebs?"
Future
Kim opened the door of her home.
"I'm home," Kim said putting her purse and blazer on the coat rack.
"In here!"
Kim could hear her husband was in the kitchen. Kim walked down the hallway into the kitchen. She stopped when she saw the picture of her and Ron when they were younger, with Ron wearing his camp Wannaweep hat. She touched the picture, smiling as she entered the kitchen.
"Hey sweetie," Kim said wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Hey yourself," Jason said kissing Kim gently on the lips. Jason was a tall man, with jet black hair, blue ocean eyes and a 5 o'clock shadow. "How was work?"
"Fine, but Crazy Al came into the office again," Kim said opening the cabinet next to her taking out the dining plates.
"Fun; I bet that hour session just flew by," Jason teased taking the plates from Kim's hands.
Kim chuckled as she grabbed the forks and napkins. "At least I never have a dull moment at work with him as a client. I guess it's just one of the many benefits of being one of the world's top renowned psychologists."
"Hey, a doctor's life is never dull," Jason countered placing grilled chicken on the plates.
"And being married isn't either," Kim said kissing Jason again. She took one of the finished plates of food and took a seat on the table.
"You know it Kimbo," Jason said grinning. He placed a plate of food inside the microwave before placing his plate on the table and taking a seat.
"Derek's not home?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, he's with your brothers. I wouldn't worry about him though. I mean, how much trouble can he get into with them?"
