The Right kind of Wrong 3
"Kimmie."
The red head stirred slightly.
"Kim wake up."
She squeezed her eyes shut even tighter. She felt a hand on her shoulder which was softly urging her to wake up. She opened her eyes and found herself staring up into a bright light. She blinked a few times before her gaze focused on an older version of herself.
"Mom?" She groaned out.
"Yes sweetie, how are you feeling?"
"I feel like a building collapsed on top of me."
"Well that's close." Her mother replied softly.
Kim groaned and closed her eyes again. She gasped when everything that had happened came back to her. The fight, the huge weight, the agonizing scream and darkness that surrounded her.
"Mom where's Shego?!" She almost yelled. She looked at her mother who returned the look while biting her lower lip.
"Kimmie honey, I don't think Shego is going to make it."
"What?! What happened to her?"
"Well you were both found underneath a collapsed ceiling. Shego was lying on top of you and protected you against the ceiling that came down. The impact broke her right arm, her left leg and a piece of rubble pierced through her right leg. Aside from that she has a lot of internal damage and I don't think she'll survive."
By now Kim was silently crying. Her mother reached out and wiped a few tears away.
"We'll do everything to keep her alive."
"She… she saved my life didn't she?" Kim questioned. Her mother smiled a sad smile and nodded.
Kim felt like her world came crashing down. As if it got shattered in a matter of seconds. She blamed herself for what happened to Shego. She kept telling herself that she shouldn't have played a game. All she wanted to do was go back in time to stop all this from happening.
Her mother left her to rest, leaving her alone with her sorrow. Thinking about Shego was all she could do. She hoped that the green skinned woman would make it. The feeling of guilt came down on her like a tidal wave and all she wanted to do was tell her how sorry she was.
Several hours slowly passed by while she felt her guilt grow. She had to know if Shego was going to be okay. She wanted to see her so badly that she decided to go and find her.
She slowly got out of bed and made her way towards the door. She peered through the little window and saw that the coast was clear. She opened the door and headed straight for the intensive care. She figured that Shego had to be there if her life was in danger.
The thought of Shego dying brought tears to her eyes. She walked as fast as she could, not knowing if somebody would stop her from seeing Shego.
Suddenly she stopped at the door that led to the intensive care. Her hand trembled lightly as she reached out for the door. She pushed it open and stopped right in her track.
Her eyes widened at the sight before her. Shego. Was the first thing she thought.
Her eyes had fallen upon a woman who was surrounded by machines. Several wires were attached to her body and even now it looked like she was in great pain.
Kim slowly closed the distance between her and the woman. She didn't want to admit that it was Shego. She denied it over and over again as she gazed at the green skinned woman. She reached out and gently touched Shego's cheek.
Her heart skipped a beat when Shego's eyes opened slightly. She smiled a small smile behind her oxygen mask and lifted her hand a bit. Kim held her tears back and softly grabbed Shego's hand.
She lowered herself to Shego's level and gazed at their entwined hands.
"I'm so sorry." She whispered. She felt Shego squeeze her hand lightly and a sad smile appeared on her face. She turned to look at the woman and saw that her eyes were closed again.
She let out a long sigh and blinked a few tears away.
"Please don't leave me." She whispered and she felt that gentle squeeze again. Kim leaned forward and gave Shego a kiss on her cheek. Even now a light blush covered her cheeks but she didn't care.
She knew she had to go back to her room. Her mother would definitely be worried if she found out that she was gone.
She gave Shego's hand a last squeeze and released it. She straightened herself, her eyes never leaving Shego's features.
"Kimmie!" A voice yelled. She winced slightly at the sound of her mother's voice. She turned around and faced the older red head.
"What are you doing out of bed!? And why are you here?! I was worried sick!"
"Sorry, I had to see her myself." Kim whispered and her mother's expression softened immediately.
"Honey you know we'll do everything we can for her."
"I know mom, I just don't want to lose her."
"You love her don't you?" Her mother questioned. Normally Kim would be shocked because of that question. She would stutter a no and her cheeks would be as red as her hair. But this was different and she knew she couldn't deny it. Her gaze shifted to the floor and she nodded.
Her mother reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. Kim looked up at her mother, sadness clear in her eyes.
"We'll do everything to keep her alive."
"Thanks." Kim whispered and her mother pulled her into an embrace.
"Come on; let's get you back to your room." Her mother said as she guided her out of the intensive care. Kim looked back at Shego one more time before she disappeared out of view.
Once back in her room she felt how tired she actually was. Her mother left her alone again and she slipped into her bed. Her head hit her pillow and she was gone. Drifting of into a deep slumber.
Meanwhile at the intensive care…
Shego's condition was slipping and every skilled doctor was there to try and save her. The heart monitor showed that her heart was slowing down and beating unsteadily. They tried their best to stabilize her heart but everything seemed to fail. At that moment it really looked like Shego was going to die.
Even Dr. Possible had her doubts about if she would live or not. She thought about her daughter and her mood slipped away even more. She's going to be devastated if Shego dies.
She couldn't do much as brain surgeon at the moment, but she knew that Shego's condition was bad. A lot of people would've been dead already. So she was surprised that Shego appeared to be holding on.
It gave her a bit of hope even though she knew it shouldn't. False hope was never good but at that moment it didn't matter.
A single high beep broke through her thoughts and her eyes fell upon the heart monitor. She looked in a daze as the doctors began to revive Shego. She could help them but she was frozen to the spot.
Everything seemed to slow down as the doctors fought to save Shego's life. She broke out of her daze when she heard the monitor beeping. Everybody sighed in relieve when Shego's heart began to stabilize and started beating steadily.
She's definitely a fighter. Dr Possible thought. The other doctors stayed close in case she would give up on them again. Everybody seemed to fight for her life. Yet they all knew that she was fighting the biggest and hardest fight of them all.
At Kim's room...
Her mother smiled at the sight of her sleeping daughter. She was glad that her daughter was sleeping. That gave her the time to relax a bit. Because she knew that Kim had been worrying about Shego since the morning she woke up.
The night was slowly passing by, the moon disappeared and the sun appeared above the horizon.
The next day arrived and Kim started stirring in her sleep. The bright sun lighting her room and making it impossible to sleep. She opened her eyes and spotted her mother in a chair across the room. What she saw was shocking…
The look in her mother's eyes told her that something was wrong. She immediately knew that something was wrong with Shego. Yet she was afraid to ask what it was.
"Mom?" She questioned softly. Her mother smiled at her and nodded.
"Are you okay?"
"I've had better days. How are you feeling today honey?"
"I'm okay." Kim replied and she bit her lower lip. Her mother kept looking at her with that look in her eyes. She didn't want to know what was wrong but she knew she had to ask about it. It took her a while to gather all of her courage and strength, but she decided to ask it any way.
"What's wrong?" She asked softly.
"Kimmie, honey… I don't know how to tell you this..."
"Tell me what?"
"I'm afraid I have some bad news." Her mother explained. Kim felt her eyes already filling up with tears. She knew what her mother was going to tell her.
"Don't tell me."
"But you have a right to know."
"Yes but I don't want to know it." Kim replied sad.
"Kimmie I really think you should know this."
"How's Shego?" Kim asked knowing that she wouldn't like the answer.
"Honey, Shego is d….." The door slammed open with a loud bang. Both red head's jumped up in fright. Their eyes widened when they saw who was standing there. Their mouths hung open as they stared in shock at the person standing before them.
Dun Dun Dun!
Whoa! Who barged into that room just like that?! The nerve of that person! Cutting off Mrs. Possible's sentence!
And What's wrong with Shego?!.. Well you don't know..
