Shego cracked open her eyes. She was in a comfy bed, but felt something on her. Without getting up, she looked around and noticed a head full of red hair beside her. A stray arm was laid out across her stomach.

After an awkward goodnight kiss, Kim had somehow managed to go from her side of the bed to Shego's. That ended up in snuggling in bed and the sounds of contented sighing.

Shego closed her eyes. Were they moving too quickly? As innocent as Anne's request was, she couldn't help but feel like this step was too big of one to take. She felt Kim stir from her sleep and felt soft lips on hers.

Opening her eyes, she saw a bashful Kim looking back at her.

"How long have you been awake for?" asked the redhead.

"Long enough to know you just kissed me," Shego smiled. She sat up and gave Kim a 'good morning' kiss.

Kim smiled and ran a hand through her messy hair. "When do you want to leave today?"

"Don't know, after breakfast?"

"Yeah, that sounds good."

"Should check with the Wegos though... I think they stayed up building something with your brothers," said Shego.

They heard knocking down below them. "Girls, time to get up, breakfast's ready." It was not Anne's voice, but James'.

Embarrassed that he might've overheard their conversation, or even their relatively tame 'make-out' session, Kim shouted back, "Sure, Dad, we'll be down in a bit."

They stayed silent and heard the shuffling of feet disappear.

"Honey, did you ask Shego to sleep in Kim's room?"

"Hmm, oh... Well, we don't have that many rooms in the house, James. Besides, Kimmie's room is rather big," replied Anne as she flipped pancakes.

"Anne..."

"It's not like they're rambunctious teenagers, James. They're grown women," commented Anne as she moved onto her batch of blueberry pancakes.

James sighed.

"She's not a child anymore, James," Anne stated matter-of-factly. "She has her own life and we have our own."

The shuffling of feet down the stairs told the oldest Possibles that their guests were coming down for breakfast, so they remained silent until Kim and Shego appeared.

"Good morning, girls," Anne said. "Had a good night's sleep?"

Shego nodded. "Good morning, Doctors Possible."

"Please, I think we're on a first name basis now," Anne chuckled.

"Um, ok," replied Shego.

"How do you like your pancakes, Shego?"

"Any kind is fine."

"Help yourself. We have regular, chocolate chip, and blueberry," said James.

"Ok," said Shego as Kim handed her a mug of coffee.

A sudden, yet muffled, explosion in the basement caught everyone's attention.

"Boys!" roared James. "What are you building down there?"

"Wegos! You'd better not have damaged anything down there! I'm not going to cover for you, so it'll be out of your own pockets!" yelled Shego as she opened the basement door. Before going downstairs, she turned to Kim's parents and said, "I'm so sorry. I'll talk to them."

When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she found two pairs of twins with dust and dirt all over their clothes.

"Walter, Wallace," growled Shego. "What just happened here?"

James, Kim, and Anne had come down as well, and had amused looks on their faces as the Godeaux twins had horrified looks on their faces.

"Nothing, sis, the valve just broke," replied Wallace.

"I told you not to put so much pressure!" snapped Walter. He slapped his twin on the arm.

"Ow! Hey, you were the one who said it could handle more!"

"Stop it! Both of you!" Shego regained control of the situation by physically pulling her two brothers apart.

"Jim, Tim, what were you building?" asked Kim. She had noticed they were laughing at the Godeaux twins while their sister was disciplining them.

"Proton..."

"...accelerator."

"In the basement?" exclaimed Shego. "You'd need thrice the size of the room to do that!"

Everyone turned their attention to Shego.

"What, I know my science and physics. It's physically not possible in here."

"We added loops and everything," commented Wallace.

"That just slows it down, unless you were trying to build a cyclotron" snapped Shego. "Wait, why are you even building these things? Doctor Possible's lab should have one."

"Just..."

"...for..."

"Fun!" shouted both pairs of twins.

"I can see why mom and dad were so glad you moved out for university," mumbled Shego. "If you broke anything, you're going to foot the bill, you hear me?"

The Wegos nodded as the Possible twins just grinned.

"Oh, just because they're in trouble doesn't mean you aren't," Anne said. Jim and Tim both went, "Aww mannnn" as Kim laughed.

Anne cleared her throat. "Judging by how nothing seems broken, just dirty, I say we go upstairs and have breakfast... We'll worry about clean-up later."

After breakfast was done and the boys had cleaned up their mess, James and Anne had asked to speak with Shego alone.

"Sit, Shego," said James as he took a seat across from her. Anne sat with him on the couch.

Kim was hovering outside the house, attempting to eavesdrop as she waited with Wallace and Walter. Jim and Tim were tinkering with something in the garage while they all waited.

James cleared his throat. "Judging by how it's pretty evident you both care about each other, I'd like to offer you a piece of advice, Shego."

Shego blinked. "Um, ok."

"Don't hurt her," James stated bluntly.

Shego stared back at James. "I would never hurt her."

"What my husband is trying to say is that we don't want Kim to go through the same thing that happened in her last relationship. Of course, you don't have the media at your disposal, nor do you seem to harbour any ill feelings towards our daughter-"

"Why would I?" interjected Shego.

"Shego, you've been here since last year, everything was starting to fade at that point but surely you've heard-"

"I was only told about what happened - a really condensed version, mind you - very recently. I don't really read the tabloids at all... But I can understand your hesitation, but I," Shego stared at the floor as she spoke, "...really like your daughter."

James sighed. "I know the relationship is beyond our control, and that it's selfish for us to not see Kim hurt, but we're actually glad that Kim's met someone new."

"You are?" Shego looked up from the floor and saw the honest look in James' eyes.

"You know, it's not fair of us to focus on Kim," commented Anne. "She is our daughter, after all, but I can't help but wonder why you've come all the way from Go City to Middleton... It seems like you come from a good family and that there are many job opportunities, especially in graphics design, in Go City compared to here."

Shego bit her lip as she thought of how to properly word her response. "I had just gotten out of a bad relationship then, packed up my things, and left. Figured I might as well go places while I still can, and ended up here."

"Forgive me if it sounded like I was prying," replied Anne.

"It's no problem... After all, I probably seem like just a stranger to you," admitted Shego.

"Not at all," commented James. "Your brothers had brought you up several times while we were chatting in the lab... I guess I was a bit surprised when I found out that Kim is going out with you. It's an interesting coincidence, really."

Shego nodded.

"We're really glad Kim brought you over for Thanksgiving." Anne smiled. "It's much better when the house is more lively, especially with the twins around."

"It is," remarked James. "It's nice to see Kim smile again." He smiled at Shego. "Thank you for making our Kimmie smile again."

Shego nodded. "I'll do my best to make her happy."

"Well, then, I think that's all we had to talk about for now," replied James. He got up and offered his hand to Shego.

Shego stood and shook James' hand as Anne watched on, smiling.

Author's Notes: Shego is knowledgeable in experimental particle physics... What?

Aha, it still sounds like the Possible parents just gave her their blessing...

I've actually had this chapter written for about a month and realized I should upload something. Whoops. Happy April Fools' Day? =P
