Bedtime Stories with Gracie Anne 4

Kim Possible is owned by the Disney Corporation and they have no connection to this what so ever. These characters are used without their permission and include a plea not to be sued as I have no money.

Shego paced back and forth in the family room, glaring accusingly at the clock. Kim was supposed to be home well over an hour ago. It irritated the former thief to no end because she strove to be punctual. You had to be because some windows in security were only open at specific times and being late could ruin a job. But now, it was a courtesy thing and the fact that Kimmie had not called to let her know why she was late only made things worse. Sometimes her wife was so inconsiderate. Was it really that difficult to pull her head out of a book and let her know that she was occupied. What if she were dead in a ditch or something?

As she was pacing, with occasional flares of plasma coming up from her clenched fists, a tiny voice asked from the doorway, "Momma? Are you angry?"

Shego froze in her pacing, released her clenched fists and turned to face her daughter. Just what should she say here? It was clear that she was upset and Grace had clearly picked up on that. Should she be honest with her daughter or should she lie? As a kid she hated adults lying to her but could it have been for her own good? She didn't have a clue but went with her own feelings on the matter, "Yes baby. I am a bit angry."

"Are you angry at me?" Grace was clutching her pandaroo to her chest, almost afraid of the answer.

"No Muffin, I am not mad at you. I am mad at your Mommy." replied Shego, her voice a bit tight. She kind of wanted to yell but she was certain that Grace would not understand.

Grace's big green eyes got wide as tears began to glisten in them and Grace's voice seemed close to tears when she asked, "You're mad at Mommy?"

Shego crouched down and took her daughter into her arms. This certainly called for comforting of her daughter. "It's okay Muffin. Mommies get mad at each other sometimes. It doesn't mean we don't love each other, just that the other person did something stupid."

"Mommy did something stupid?" This seemed to confuse Grace as she had not known such an act was even possible.

"You bet, but let me worry about that. Now what is my Princess Elphaba Zenobia doing up? Aren't you supposed to be in bed asleep? I remember you being tucked in."

"I wasn't sleepy." yawned Grace, trying to look defiant.

Shego smiled. Her daughter always seemed to be able to calm her down, which was a good thing as she still had a hot temper. Kim was still in trouble but Grace had saved her wife from a good roasting. She had to wonder if Kim even knew how many beatings Grace had saved her from. "So I see. Let's put you back into bed, as it is late and Princesses need their beauty sleep if they are going to grow up to be beautiful Queens someday."

"Beautiful like you and Mommy?"

"You bet. Come on." Shego picked up her daughter and carried her back to her bedroom, cuddling with her the whole time. She tucked her under her sheets and sat on the side of the bed. "Now are you good?"

"Can I has a story?" asked Grace.

"Sure. Want Goodnight Moon again like earlier?"

"No. Want Big Blue Dork." Grace yawned again, really wide so Shego had a clear shot at the girl's uvula.

"Okay. Let's see... so this one time, Big Blue Dork had this plan to make an evil death ray to zap all the tires on all the cars, bikes, planes, everything with wheels so that no one could drive anything anywhere. Well, during his big rant about how awesome he is and what a great plan it was the Blue Fox and Monkey Boy burst through the air shaft and tried to stop him.
