12: Engineering 211 — How to Build on a Solid Foundation

The honeymoon was over. Paris had been brilliant, as expected. Bonnie was surprised Shego almost got lost in the Louvre. She was like a kid in a candy store and a professor in an art history course at the same time. They had to drag Shego to other sights beyond art museums. Kim shocked her wives by knowing plenty about the nightlife, but as it turned out, she had done research, which they preferred to the idea of Kim spending long nights in Paris when she was single. Bonnie had enjoyed just following her wives' lead. Kim proposed they make the trip at least once a year, even if it was not for their anniversary. Paris would become their city. The idea made her wives smile.

"It feels good to be home," Kim sighed as they stepped into the apartment.

"Yeah, it does, but we'll see Paris again," Shego said as she put down her bags as well as Bonnie's luggage. Kim carried her own bags.

"Until then, it does feel nice to be home. Although, I wouldn't be opposed to us having a beach in the backyard," Bonnie remarked.

"Duchess, if I could, I'd grant you that request in a heartbeat," Shego promised.

"What do you two even need a beach for? You never go in the water and you already sunbathe on the roof," Kim pointed out, strolling into the living room. Her wives followed her into the room to find it loaded with gifts.

"I happen to like watching you come out of the water if you must know," Bonnie answered before taking in the stack of wrapped boxes in the living room.

"That is an awesome sight," Shego agreed.

They were not surprised to find the pile of presents there. The Moms had promised to get all of the wedding gifts to their place for them to open when they got back from their honeymoon. They were surprised when Cali tumbled out of a small cave-like area made by the wrapped boxes.

"Cali, what are you doing here? We're supposed to pick you up tomorrow," Kim said as she picked the feline up. Cali purred and rubbed her head under Kim's chin.

Bonnie grinned and reached over to scratch Cali under her chin. Cali purred even louder. The little family sat down on the couch and Cali walked across all three of them, rubbing up against them. They each caressed her and petted her to her heart's content until she rolled over into the floor, too wrapped up in the attention to realize what she was doing. Shego snickered while Cali shook her head, trying to clear away the stars that she was seeing.

"Cali, you have to be more careful," Kim said and she reached down to pick the cat up, but Cali rolled away. She transformed into her humanoid form and grinned at them all.

"You must want to tell us how you loved being with Joss," Bonnie commented with a smile.

Cali nodded eagerly. "Yeah! It was great! She gave me lots of fish and cream and she let me go outside with her! She told me about a lot of the stuff outside and I did a lot of hunting. But, I was sad!" She suddenly pouted.

"Why were you sad if you were in what you just described as your version of paradise?" Shego teased, reaching out to playfully push Cali's head.

"I missed you guys! I wanted to be with you, but Joss said you had to be alone, but I wanted to be with you!" Cali practically howled.

Kim chuckled. It would seem they were off on Cali just wanting to live with Joss. They thought it would take a lot of persuasion for Cali to come home. "Of course. Well, we're all together now. So, you don't have to be sad anymore."

Cali grinned. "I know. Plus, Joss brought me home right after you called her and said you were coming back. I like Joss, but I like home more. Joss is one of my humans."
