Ch.97

After his talk with Felix, Ron went to look for Monique. Finding her was easy as she was in the livingroom meditating. Ron walked up to her and gently got her attention.

"Hey." Ron said as Monique looked at him.

"Hey Ron, what's up?" Monique asked.

"Thought I'd take you out." Ron explained.

"Really, what do you have in mind?" Monique asked excited.

"A shopping trip." Ron replied and Monique became visibly excited.

"Let's go! I've wanted to redo your style since forever ago." Monique exclaimed.

Ron smile knowing she misunderstood what they were shopping for. Still her excitement felt contagious so he rolled with it. The real thing they were shopping for was a location where Monique can set up her brand. Why? Because Monique really had a thought out plan for her brand and the designs for her first few seasons of clothing sales that she'd been working on since high school had been impressive, so after her presentation Ron had agreed to partner with her and invest in her brand. Now the contract had been drawn up and all that was left was a location for the flagship store and their signatures.

Ron drove to the most sought after street for shopping stores in London where the realtor was waiting. Why was it the most sought after Street? Simple really, it was home to many famous brands and was just down the street from Cross Industries. Why was it so? Ron owned the block from when Wade bought and built the main headquarters for Cross Industries. Later the street was developed and rented as a shopping capital of sorts and the results were extremely profitable. Here was where Ron was going to place Monique's store, right across from his company and in the crowned jewel for future development. Though saying right across was not exactly inaccurate it also didn't fit perfectly as there was about a half mile separating both stores. Why? Cross Industries was massive.

When Ron drove pass the third brand store in a row Monique finally asked. "Where are we going exactly? We've driven by some of the best stores London has to offer." Then Ron stopped at an underground parking lot to the one empty building in the area. "Ron I'm pretty sure the other stores had parking."

"I'm sure they did Mon but what we are looking for is here." Ron said.

"What are we looking for exactly?" Monique asked understanding they weren't shopping for clothes.

Ron simply smiled and got out of the car, then he walked around to open the door for her and hand in hand they walked to the elevators. They took it to the main floor were the realtor was waiting. Monique and Ron then were presented with every one of the floors. Ron had Monique chose the layout and she quickly caught on to what they were really shopping for. Her excitement was almost visible as Monique and the realtor discussed the finer details of her store. In three hours, thanks to the Neuro Linker and it's capabilities Monique was shown a 3D display of what her store would look like once it was fully renovated to her specifications and she was loving it.

With Monique satisfied, the contact was signed and work was set to start the next day. The logo for the store was something Monique patented with Wade's help ages ago, thus Monique was to become extremely busy as she now had to work towards a grand opening without a single outfit that could be sold.

On the ride back Monique was contacting people that she wanted to employ and getting her business up and running. Ron heard calls to different places that could begin producing her designs and people that could work on tailor made right in the store. Ron had to admit he was impressed at the speed Monique was getting everything up and running.

Now back at the estate, Ron kissed Monique and left her to her work. Then went to look for Wade so he could look at something long overdue, his asset's.

Wade was glad to help and when Ron started looking at the numbers with those of the ladies that were available he was stunned.

"Wade are you sure these numbers are right?" Ron asked for the fifth time.

"Yes Ron, this is the extent of your fortune as of this morning." Wade answered.

"Wow, Ron you're doing good for someone who just woke up from a coma." Shego teased.

"I'd say." Ron agreed looking at all the zeroes in his personal bank accounts. Two hundred and sixty trillion and rising. Ron had enough money to firmly say he was the richest man on earth. Richer than some countries even. "Run it by me again Wade, how did I end up earning so much?"

"Well, seventy percent of your income is generated by Cross Industries as I mentioned." Wade began. "The other thirty percent is generated thanks to the investments your parents were making on your behalf and your inheritance. Thanks to them you own forty percent of Martin Smarty's company, thirty eight percent of Mr. Porter's frozen food company and twenty one percent in Polly Pandati's entertainment company. They were three of the most richest people three years ago and your parents had acquired a decent set of shares to their companies making decent profits for you."

"You got to give it to them, they knew how to make money." Bonnie commented.

"Yeah." Ron agreed.

"Ron there's something I've wanted to talk to you about!" Tara finally works up the courage to ask Ron.

"What is it, Tara?" Ron asks as Wade, Bonnie, Yori, Shego, Ann and Amy look at Tara.

"I want your help buil..." Tara begins to ask but the more she says the lower he voice gets.

"What was that, Tara? I couldn't quite hear you." Ron asks.

Taking a deep breath Tara repeats. "I want your help to build some orphanages!"

"Sure." Ron agrees.

"I know this is a lot to ask but I really want to help those kids who don't even have a place to call home or are abused where they are currently at." Tara explained not hearing Ron.

"Okay, I'll help you." Ron said.

"And I plan to personally supervise each orphanage to make sure that all of them are providing the best care to these children available." Tara continued to explain.

"You got it." Ron agreed again with a smile as he looks at Tara pouring her heart out.

"And..." Tara continues.

"Tara." Bonnie calls out. "Tara, Ron agreed."

Tara looks at Bonnie then at Ron, each having a loving smile on their faces. Blushing, Tara looks away and sees everyone else is smiling too.

"Thanks Ron." Tara says while covering her face with her hands.

"No problem Tara." Ron says smiling.

After Tara's request, Ron asked Wade to help Tara get everything up and running.

Shego had found Tara adorable as she asked Ron for help but she was glad she was witness to it.

The rest of the week Shego helped Yori and Ron to teach everyone the proper way to meditate as well as watched Ron take the other women on dates. After his dates with everyone but Amy Shego herself suggested Ron take her out even though it was the night before their move on Hench Co. Ron easily agreed to her request and off they went.

After watching them go Shego went to her room hoping to lie down. At the door Yori was waiting for her.

"Hey Yori, come in." Shego invited her in.

Yori came in and looked like she wanted to say something but didn't know where to begin.

"What's wrong?" Shego asked feeling a bit worried now.

"Shego, I missed my period." Yori announced.

'Yori missed her period!' Shego repeated to herself before it clicked and she called out. "That's great!"

Smiling now Yori asked. "I was wondering if your period has passed as well?"

"My period hasn't." Shego replied and seeing Yori's smile widened repeated. "My period hasn't!! Yori we need to go to the store! We need to know for sure!"

"Here." Yori said and handed Shego a pregnancy test. "I prepared them for us." Yori showed Shego hers.

Shego kissed Yori. "Thank you, now let's drink some water. I need to know asap!"

"Okay." Yori said and went with Shego to the kitchen.

Together Shego and Yori drank a gallon of water and waited till nature made it's call. A few minutes later they were standing in front of one another anxious to look at the results.

"In three." Shego said. "Two, one!"
