10: Classics 211 — How to Rehash and Relive New Issues

Kim was certain her parents were not expecting a conference call at five in the morning and probably were not happy to get one, but they had answered. Shego's parents were much more awake and alert. It probably had something to do with it not being five in the morning in Greece. Kim had no idea why they were there and Shego had not shared. The trio was cuddled together in bed after a long nap, which was brought on by a few hours of lovemaking. They would get back to that as soon as they were done delivering the good news.

"All right, everyone here?" Kim said to be sure.

"You might want to make this fast. Your father wants to go look at the sky and you know how he gets about the stars," Ann warned them.

Kim was tempted to tell him to go ahead because she was not sure how he would receive the news. While he tolerated the relationship now, he probably would not like or approve of a wedding, for show or otherwise, between the three of them. Hopefully, her mother would keep him in check if he showed disapproval. But, more than that, she hoped he would be happy for her, for them.

"This will only take a second," Kim assured them.

"Then tell us what you need to tell us, dear," Isabel requested in a sweet tone that made Shego grimace. Kim patted Shego's thigh to keep her focused. Shego glanced down for a moment, losing all focus briefly as she lost herself in the soft feel of Kim's hand. Thankfully, she quickly came back to herself.

"We're getting married," the trio announced in unison.

"Oh, my god, yes!" Kane, of all people, shouted. That was followed by a sound of rattling and shattering. "Dammit!"

"Sit down before you break something important, dearest," Isabel scolded her husband, who was muttering in the background now. "Anyway, this is wonderful news!"

"It is! Who proposed?" Ann inquired.

"We all did," Bonnie answered.

"All? My firefly actually asked you both to marry her?" Isabel asked incredulously.

"Of course, I did, Mommy!" Shego huffed, clearly insulted, as if she had not been against the idea months ago.

"Shego asked first and then things snowballed. We're all wearing two rings," Bonnie explained while Kim caressed Shego's thigh to keep her calm. It worked for the moment, earning a gentle purr from the former villain.

"We have to look at locations and dresses!" Isabel cheered.

"And photographers and caterers!" Ann chimed in.

"The guest list!" Isabel said.

"Flowers!" Ann added.

The trio chuckled. "You two do realize this our wedding, not yours, right?" Shego asked with a light laugh.

"And your our daughters! We want to help!" Ann proclaimed.

"Help, but we do want to plan our own wedding," Kim gently insisted.

"Of course, dear!" Isabel chirped.

"Oh, I wanna help, too!" Kane proclaimed like an eager toddler.

Again, the trio laughed. "And we would love your help," Bonnie cooed.

They could practically hear him preening at that, so they were not surprised by the sound of a slap echoing through the air. Kane yelped and they laughed again. Shego shook her head.

"Look, we just wanted to let you all know first. Now, we'd like to go—" Shego was cut off.

"Back to sleep!" Kim declared while Shego gave her best angelic smile.
