Kim Possible and Street Hawk: The Wedding Sitch
Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible or Street Hawk. Wish I did though.
A Walk in the Park and a Quack
Author's note: This story deals with a sensitive subject. Drunk driving. Driving while intoxicated does not enhance your driving skills. It dulls them. If you get into a wreck, are drunk and claim it was an accident, wrong! If you drive after drinking alcoholic beverages, you are making a conscious decision to ignore the Law, human life and choosing to kill someone on the streets. Please, do not drink and drive. It will definitely save lives.
Side note: I thought about possible scenarios for Felix's reason for being in a wheelchair and it seemed the most likely.
In Middleton, Colorado, three months after their second Doctor's appointment, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable are walking to a different Doctor's office for their first ultrasound. They had been recommended by their usual Doctor to a new Doctor that had just opened up shop. She is one month into her third trimester and really starting to show. Ron walks right beside her, ready to catch her if he has to and also to hug her when she needs it. Kim looks right at him by her side and sighs a sigh of contentment.
She then loops her arm into his and puts her head against his shoulder. Rufus, Ron's naked mole rat, pokes his head out of Ron's pants pocket and giggles with glee, eagerly anticipating the news. Shortly, they arrive at the Doctor's office and wait for their turn. Today, they will find out just how many children they are going to receive into their lives. They sign in with the receptionist when they are called for and wait a little bit longer, like fifteen minutes. They then see someone they hadn't expected to see coming out of an examination room.
Ron asks, "Tara? You're expecting too?"
Tara King giggles and replies, "Yep, sure am. Three months now. Kim, you are so lucky to have a sweet guy like Ron. My guy is just like him for the most part. Here he is. Oh, Felix." Kim and Ron turn in surprise and see Felix Renton wheeling up beside Tara, a dazed look on his face.
Kim starts to say something, but then decides to keep her mouth shut so she wouldn't humiliate herself. She is instead surprised to hear Felix chuckle, saying, "I bet you're wondering how I pulled it off. Well, truth be told, I'm not sure myself. Here for an ultrasound?"
Kim smiles weakly and replies, "Yeah, we are. You know, I never did ask you how you wound up in that wheelchair."
Felix frowns a bit and says, "It was a drunk driver. The day it happened was on my birthday, about a year before we moved here. The weather was nice and clear, a perfect day for driving go-carts at the track back home. We were on our way to the track there when it happened. The man was double drunk and ran through the stop light. He smashed into our car. My Dad died and I came very close to dying as well. My Mom barely survived the crash and she pleaded with me to hold on, that it'll be all right."
Tara sniffles at that and Ron's anger level starts to rise. Kim sees this and touches his arm gently to stabilize him. When he's stable, Kim nods for Felix to continue.
"The Police came out to the accident scene, checked us all, got an Ambulance for my Mom and myself. The D.A. charged the driver with Driving Under the Influence and involuntary vehicular manslaughter. He, of course, said it was an accident and we had no business driving while he was. The Judge presiding over the case ruled against him and convicted him on both counts. He also awarded damages to us in the case. The guy appealed the case and lost. As far as I know, he's still in Jail. But, the damage had been done. My spine was badly damaged, so I can never walk again. So my Mom decided to take up robotics after she healed up enough. She had hoped to find a way to meld robotic technology with human's spinal columns to give people like me a chance to have a normal life. So far, no dice. So, that's how I wound up here, in this chair. As for Tara's pregnancy, I'd say it is a miracle."
Kim smiles and says, "I have no doubt about that, Felix. Oh, I felt one of the babies kick. They are going to have strong legs by the time they come out."
The receptionist then says, "Miss Possible, Mr. Stoppable. The Doctor is ready for you now." The two teens nod and ask Felix and Tara to hold up for a bit and they agree.
Kim then goes into a changing room and undresses. When she's done, she puts on a gown as per the rules and goes out of the room. She then sees the Doctor talking to Ron about his leg, telling him to bend it, Rufus gesturing angrily at the Doctor. She then hears Ron speak in his defense.
"I don't know if you noticed, but I lost my right knee several months ago! That's why I have a cane! It's not a fashion statement, it's to help me walk! The Doctors that worked on me had to glue my knee joint and cap together! So, therefore, I cannot bend what I don't have! Now, you can accuse me of lying if you want, but it's true."
The Doctor says, "I say you're lying. Now, bend your right knee. And lose that rodent!"
Kim comes up and says, "My Fiance lost his right knee saving my life! He was injured in the line of duty, protecting me from harm! And that rodent is our dearest friend! Now, if you will not accept that, I will take myself, our children, our friend and my Fiance elsewhere since you're being such a pompous jerk!"
The Doctor smiles cruelly and says, "Get dressed and get out, you single, knocked-up little..."
Before he could continue, Ron slugs the guy in the mouth, saying, "You ever talk about Kim or Rufus like that again, I'll break your knee for you. It don't really matter which one it is to me, either." Ron looks at Kim with tears in his eyes and he says, "Let's get you dressed and away from this moron, KP. This guy is obviously a quack." Kim smiles and nods, knowing just how right he is.
Kim then goes back into the changing room, rips up the gown, gets her clothes on, steps out of there and links arms with Ron. As they head out, they see Tara and Felix waiting for them. They smile when they see Kim and Ron, but then their smiles fade when they see them scowling.
Tara asks, "What's wrong, Kim? Doctor give you bad news?"
Ron replies, "Worse, seems the guy is a freaking quack. He was telling me to bend my knee and I told him I couldn't. He even said for me to lose Rufus. Kim came to my aid and told him the sitch. Well, next thing I know, he's dissing KP and the next thing he knows, he has my fist in his face. That's when we decided to blow this rat hole."
Felix says, "You know, I think that guy's got something about Disabled Americans. As if he doesn't like them. He kept looking at me and asked me if I was the child's Father. I then told him it's none of his business. He then called Tara an airhead and me a cripple. It took every ounce of willpower not to strike him, but I wish I did strike him. That guy was an arrogant jerk for sure."
Kim nods, saying, "No doubt about that. Tara, we're going to the Hospital. Let's see about a second opinion, in case he's the one that told you you're pregnant." Tara nods in agreement and anger. She then walks ahead in a huff. As the others proceed up the way, they do not look back to see the quack looking at them through the window.
