CHAPTER 26

Drakken hurried down the street and looked at his watch. Well, it wasn't exactly his watch. It was Mego's, and it was bright purple. Drakken had stolen it that morning on his way out of the Go Tower.

"Three twenty..." He muttered to himself as he entered the store he had been walking so fast to get to. He had to have time to get exactly what he wanted and then be back in ROOM 717 in time to see Shego with her newborn, and give her the surprise of her life. He was very nervous.

The lady behind the counter was a tall slim lady with blond hair, a pointy nose, and a name tag that said 'Amberly'on it. Her fingers were COVERED in Amber-colored rings.

"How may I help you sir?" She asked in a polite high-pitched voice.

Drakken looked behind all the glass display cases and then suddenly saw exactly what he was looking for.

"I want to purchase...this."

Drakken walked back to the hospital with butterflies in his stomach like never before.

Today was the day. His day. Shego's day. THEIR day. Drakken had decided he would ask Shego to marry him that afternoon. He tucked the velvet case with the ring that he had just bought in his pocket and tried to breathe slowly. His heart was racing. His mind was filling with thoughts and worries about Shego, himself, and the new baby.

At last Drakken arrived at the hospital and made his way back to room 717. He knocked first, then entered, to find Shego still asleep. Sitting down on the bedside stool, Drakken checked his watch again. It was four o clock already.

The nurse should be bringing the baby in any time now, Drakken thought anxiously.

All of a sudden, the door opened and in walked not a nurse, but Doctor Shanna pushing Shego's baby in an infant incubator on wheels. The baby girl looked so tiny and fragile to Drakken that he was scared to even think he had touched this precious infant when he took her from Shego's stomach less than 24 hours ago.

The baby was wheeled up to Shego's beside, opposite from Drakken. It was then Doctor Shanna turned to look Drakken in his small black eyes.

"Do I know you?" She asked, sounding almost certain she did.

"N-no, I don't think so..." Drakken stuttered nervously. He was sure Doctor Shanna was remembering last night, and Doctor Dronic.

"What's your name?"

"Drew...Drew Lipsky. W-What's your's?"

"Shanna." She said softly, "You can call me Shanna."

And with that she turned and left, leaving Drakken mystified, and alone with Shego.

Drakken let out a huge sigh of relief as Doctor Shanna left the room. Had Doctor Shanna been flirting with him? Shaking that off, Drakken leaned down to his love, Shego, and kissed her tenderly on the lips.

"Shego, wake up and see your baby."

Shego's eyelids fluttered and then opened.

"Dr. D?"

"Yes, it's me, and your baby is here now too." Drakken said softly stroking Shego's hair.

Shego sat up as fast as she could and turned to look at the tiny little baby.

"She's really mine..." Shego murmured, as if in a trance. She secretly always had wanted a little girl of her own. But she still couldn't shake the fact that it was Junior's little girl, as well as hers.

She sighed and turned back to Drakken. 'If only it was Drakken's baby, not Juniors.' Shego found herself thinking. She lay back down, her head was spinning. Probably from all the needles stuck in various places all over her body. They were really starting to get uncomfortable.

"Shego?" Drakken asked nervously, taking the small box out of his pocket.

"Yeah?"

"Well, we've known each other for a long time now, in fact, we've know each other for many, many years and I know we've only been boyfriend and girlfriend for a little while out of those many years but maybe if-"

Shego was getting excited, "What is it Dr. D? Just tell me!"

Drakken took a deep breath, "Could you find it in your heart to..." Drakken was sweating now and his breathing was getting shallow. He decided to just cut to the chase. Taking Shego's hands in his he said, "Oh Shego, will you marry me?"

Shego smiled like she never had before in her entire life.

"Yes!" She exclaimed. "I will! I'd...I'd LOVE TO!"

Drakken opened the velvet box and slid a bright, vibrant ring on Shego's finger, that was the same color as her eyes. They both gazed into each other's eyes and smiled sincerely. Then Shego turned back to her tiny baby girl.

"What are you going to name her?" Drakken asked as Shego's eyes sparkled.

"Avalon Mirari Lipsky." She said proudly.

Drakken smiled, hearing his last name being used for the child and then asked, "Why Avalon Mirari?"

"Because." Shego replied with even more sparkle in her emerald eyes, "Avalon means island, Mirari means miracle."

Drakken smiled even more. "That's a perfect name, Shego."

"Thank you." Shego whispered, laying back on her soft pillow and closing her eyes,

"She's our island miracle."
