Coffee and Confusion

The smell of coffee woke her. It was an expensive blend and Shego highly approved. The name of the blend eluded her but it was a popular higher end brand. She sat up from the couch slowly, yawning. When she realized that this wasn't her apartment all of last night came at her in a rush shaking her. She wanted a shower, a toothbrush, coffee and to not have to deal with this. That this situation had the potential to turn very ugly didn't comfort her and she was at a total loss as to what might or might not be said. Shego just sat there, on the couch, clutching her knees to her chest, preparing herself for what was to come.

Based off of the noises coming from the kitchen, the two parents were up as were the twins. Kim wasn't up yet as far as she could tell and that kept her from getting up and moving. She was afraid of very little and unfortunately, this situation was on the list. Her thoughts warred in her mind and she finally decided to just sit there and wait for Kimmie. Thankfully, it wasn't that much longer for Kim to drag herself downstairs in her pajamas and bathrobe, clutching her knees.

The girl for whom anything was possible made her way to the living room first and spotted Shego on the couch looking a bit lost. She nodded to the red head and turned to the kitchen. So the thief had stayed. That surprised Kim some but Shego had said she would do anything to have some sort of relationship with the child that she was carrying. She waved her hand as she headed over towards the kitchen and Shego caught up with her.

"Good morning Kimmie." said Shego nervously, looking at the ghost of the girl she had fought time and again. Seeing her from a distance really hadn't conveyed just how bad things had gotten and now faced with how Kim had been looking for several weeks she was uncomfortable. This was not something she was proud having a part of.

"If you say so." muttered Kim, her depression over the recent events back in full swing after the excitement last night. The events of last night getting jumbled in the internal dialogue that had been playing for weeks.

"Uh...how we going to do this?" asked Shego worriedly.

Kim didn't answer but simply walked into the dining room. Shego held herself back some, unsure of what was going to happen. This is why she preferred blasting things, there was no discomfort there. You blast, it breaks, nothing awkward or uncomfortable, not like dealing with people and messy emotions.

The tweebs noticed Shego first, looking at her quizzically. "Kim...why is your..."

"...arch nemesis here?"

"Mom, Dad, we need to talk." Kim hadn't really reacted to her brothers at all at that moment. The Possibles all stared at each other and then back at Kim. She needed to talk to them?

Her mother was the first to break out of the near trance and answer, taking in the two girls and trying to arrive at some sort of answer. "Well, alright. Did you want any breakfast?"

Kim nodded and Shego replied, "Yes, uhm...thank you. Can I get some coffee, please?"

"Help yourself." said Kim's father, still reading the paper. He had lowered it earlier but now he was back to scanning the editorial page.

Shego poured herself a mug of coffee and headed back to the table after she had fixed it just the way she preferred. She had no idea where to sit at the family table and she just stood there indecisively while her mind struggled to find a place. Kim's mom said, "Shego, why don't you take a seat by Kimmie-cub?"
