Unexpected Plans

Threats

The next morning, Shego awoke with a start and bolted into the bathroom, where her morning sickness extracted all food remnants and energy from her body. She decided to get up a few minutes later, clambering to her feet as she tried to keep her balance. She made her way to the lab to see Drakken, staring paralyzed at the computer screen.

"Drew?" She asked, her voice weak and rasping, "What is it?"

He turned to face the screen to her and saw an e-mail from Professor Dementor.

Dear Dr. Drakken,

This is a letter of business, not one of pleasure. I have your lab bugged. I know all about Shego's pregnancy, and how you let Kim Possible free in exchange for her protection. This child will cause nothing but trouble for all villains! If you do not terminate the child within the next thirty days, I will personally make the choice for you.

Yours and evil,

Professor Dementor

P.S. GET A ROOM!

Shego stared at the screen, her face ashen and body shaking.

"W-what will we do?" Unchecked tears streamed down her face. He held up several smashed tick-like bugs.

"We do what we have to." He said, taking her hand.

When Wade had patched Drakken through during first period, Kim had been very surprised. Granted, she'd expected they'd call eventually, but never that soon. When Drakken had called, she'd grabbed Ron, arranged a ride, and headed for Drakken's lair.

At the lair, Drakken had ordered Shego immediately back to bed. He could see how weak she'd been feeling. He had one of the henchmen make her a small breakfast: blueberry oatmeal and a glass of orange juice. He hoped she'd be able to keep it down. He printed a copy of Dementor's letter, and waited (rather impatiently) for Kim Possible and the buffoon's arrival. Thankfully, the wait wasn't too tedious, and they arrived a few minutes after he'd printed the letter. He wordlessly handed them the letter and waited for their response. Kim scanned it quickly and handed it back to him.

"What's your plan?"

He told her quickly of getting Shego under her protection, and working with Wade to make sure it looked like she was traveling around the world. She had to admit, it wasn't that bad a plan. But one nagging thought kept pushing at her mind.

"I don't think I'm enough protection for Shego... But I know who'd be willing to help me..."

***

Shego let out a small moan and opened her eyes. One of the henchmen sat at the end of her bed.

"Where's Drew?" She asked sleepily.

"In the lab, ma'am. Would you like me to get him for you?"

She nodded and took small sips of water from the glass at her bedside table. She'd been feeling dehydrated since her pregnancy had begun. She frowned. It had made her weak. She hated being weak. She wanted to sit up, but her arms felt like jelly. She tried anyways, but ended up flopping back onto the bed. Drew came in, took one look at her, and handed her an aspirin.

"Thanks." She said, taking it. "How are things going with team 'too-annoying-to-be-Possible?'" He smiled at her cynicism. In this way, he thought it was one of her best qualities. Now, when she used her cynicism on his plans, that was another story.

"Better than you think." He said casually, trying to conceal the "additional protection" that team Possible had insisted that they had. She narrowed her eyes. He was keeping something from her.

"What is it?" She asked. He grumbled, cursing his terrible lying skills.

"Kim Possible thinks we need extra... Protection."

Shego raised an eyebrow.

"What Kind of protection?"

Before he could answer, Hego, Mego, and Wego burst through her bedroom door.
