Like most people, Kim Possible didn't like to admit that she made mistakes.

In all fairness, though, considering the early hour, and the fact that she was still half-asleep, one could hardly blame her for making such a mistake.

She had gone into the kitchen, recognized the figure at the stove as a tall female, and had instantly assumed that it was her mother. As such, she'd muttered a somewhat cheerful "Morning, Mom," and kept going.

"Wanna try that again, Kimmie?"

Kim came to a complete stop, blinked, and slowly turned around.

Shego grinned at her. "Don't look so surprised. You've seen me in disguises before."

This was true, but Shego had never tried to pass herself off as a housewife. As such, Kim was a little taken aback to see the woman wearing an apron, even if it was tied over a green jogging suit. She was even more surprised to see that Shego was actually cooking something.

"I didn't know you could cook?"

Shego shrugged as she turned back to the pan. "Can't, really. Pancakes, I can do. Anything else is pretty much...well, rocket science. Mom promised to show me some recipes later."

Kim smirked. "Did you just call my mother 'Mom,' Shego? Because that's a bit premature."

"Is it?" Shego countered. "I'm not going anywhere, and you're crazy if you think I'm gonna let you go. I figure she might as well get used to it."

"This wouldn't be yet another way of you pressuring me into telling my parents about us, would it?"

"Nope. Just getting them used to family life with me in it. Hence the pancakes. Want some?"

"Sure, I'll take a stack," Kim replied with a smile. Shego certainly had the right idea about easing her parents into the whole confession, but she herself remained less than confident about it, probably since it would be her doing the confessing. Shego had assured Kim that if the Doctors Possible didn't approve of their relationship, she wasn't above 'kidnapping' their daughter to some remote island where even Wade would be hard pressed to find them. The idea held some appeal for Kim, but in the end, she would just miss her family far too much.

But it was the fear of severing that strong connection that kept her from telling her parents the truth. Every time she tried, Kim ended up imagining the worst and chickening out at the last minute. She hadn't even worked up enough nerve to tell Ron and Monique, though she had a feeling that Monique had already pieced it together on her own and was just waiting for Kim to fess up.

On the other hand, it was entirely possible that her parents had also figured it out, and were just waiting for Kim to come to them. Shego had been entirely true to her word about not taking the relationship any further until Kim was ready, and she'd surprised herself by becoming more ready than she'd known. In fact, in their last few make out sessions, Shego had been the one to put a stop to things. The walls weren't paper-thin, but Kim had proven to be a rather vocal partner, just as Shego had proven to be a rather talented one. It was simply a bad combination for two people doing their best to get away with anything.

Shego brought all her thoughts to an abrupt end by waving a fragrant plate of pancakes under Kim's nose.

"Having a flashback?" Shego asked with a wicked grin.
