Nighttime revelations

Shego and Ron were both in the room with Kim, both equally worried and both ready to beat some answers out of someone. If anybody who had been involved had been there it would have been the most severe beating imaginable. Outside four Global Justice agents were stationed to try and keep anyone from getting into the room unauthorized. After what had just happened it was felt to be prudent. A two line defense was the best Shego could manage on such short notice and with her and Ron as that last line, nothing would get through to Kim.

Kim slept through the night, not having woken up again which certainly was good for her, while the other two slept in alternating shifts, making sure one of them was awake at all times. After what had happened neither of them wanted to take any chances with Kim's life, almost certain that someone would make another attempt that night. Every nurse had to pass inspection each and every time they came in to check on her and if there were medicines to be given Wade checked the chemical composition for each batch. They weren't going to allow a repeat of that evening to happen if there was anything they could say about the issue.

Now that she knew her love would survive, Shego found that she was bursting with pride for what her Kimmie had managed to do and also terribly sad over what her Kimmie had to do. After she had viewed the footage on the Kimmunicator she had to acknowledge that killing the villain was all that she could have done. It had seriously been a choice of her life or the villains. The fall out from that could be dealt with when the red head woke up and Shego was not looking forward to that. It was good to know that none of the EEG's showed anything abnormal but they had to wait until Kimmie woke up to make sure that there had been no brain damage. One more hurdle left to clear before her Princess would be free to go home.

It was early in the morning towards the end of her shift when Shego felt light squeezes on her hand. She snapped her head up and stared into her wife's half open olive green eyes, which made her heart leap with joy. She managed to keep her voice steady when she asked softly, "Hey there Pumpkin, how you feeling?"

"Head hurts." mumbled Kim, her head feeling like it was stuffed with cotton. Things were sort of a blur right now, hazy, indistinct, like in a dream. But she could make out her wife's face and that made her smile.

"Yeah. It's okay though. Do you remember anything else about last night?" Shego wanted to find out what Kimmie knew before she said anything. She had gotten some yesterday but not terribly much.

"You came home, but you weren't you." Kim had a long slow blink that almost made Shego think she had fallen back asleep.

"That's right. Anything else?"

"No. Thirsty." Kim's mouth was dry and her throat a bit sore.

Shego grabbed the small pitcher that the nurses had brought in and poured a little of the cold water into it. She grabbed a straw to make it easier for her love to sip from it, as the idea of spilling cold water on her had no appeal right now. Kim took a sip of the water and then sighed. "Hospital again?"

Shego chuckled at that. It did seem to be a bit of an occurrence with the teen. "Yeah. You got really hurt this time and you needed to come here. You and Muffin are okay though. If you need to you can go back to sleep."
