A/N: Tis the season to write Christmas stories. So grab some hot chocolate and enjoy. This takes place the Christmas after The Struggling Falcon but before The Frightened Pterodactyl.

"Well if it isn't the mother of the year!" A loud voice declared, as Kimberly and Tommy Oliver stepped into the youth center, the voice's owner sweeping Kim into a big bear hug.

"Careful Zack, Tommy might get jealous," his girlfriend teased him as Tommy faked a sigh.

"Can't go anywhere without men throwing themselves at my wife," Tommy grumbled.

"Says the man who let's another woman to buy him lunch," Kim countered.

Their friends looked at each other, was there trouble in paradise? However, the two made eye contact and couldn't keep up the charade any more, they both burst out giggling.

Jason let out a sigh of relief, "Don't scare us like that, this might sound corny but a lot is riding on the two of you having a strong relationship."

Kim rose an eyebrow at her older brother, knowing what he wasn't saying, that the world, and half the universe relied on her and her husband to keep the power rangers strong. An actual fight between them could be catastrophic. Good thing they were beyond letting jealousy get between them, "Jason, Tommy and I have never fought in our lives, at least not with each other."

Jason placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, "Yes, I know, but there is a first time for everything."

Kim laughed, shrugging the implication off, she and Tommy had never fought, and she doubted they would.

The rest of the time was spent talking. How big the babies had gotten, the fact that Kim and Tommy had been approved to adopt their three oldest. Rocky told everyone about his restaurant he was planning to open as soon as he got the money to. Billy had asked Kat the big question, Tanya had signed a record deal. Everyone had some news to share.

"Junior sure is getting big. Be glad there is only one of him, once he gets mobile you'll have a hard time keeping up with just one and if Troy goes one way, Ruby goes another," Kim stated, handing back the photo to her sister-in-law.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Angel of Angel Grove," the voice sent shivers down Tommy's back, beside him Kim stiffened. Tommy frowned as waves of discomfort and terror came through their link. Who was this guy.

He was tall, dark and handsome, with piercing blue eyes, and Tommy did not like the way this man looked at his wife, at all.

"Matthew, you aren't welcome here!" Jason snapped, standing up, ready to force him out.

"Whoa, now Jay man, no need to lose your cool," Matthew said, "This isn't your place, you can't kick me out."

"I'm asking you to leave before I get arrested," Jason snapped back.

Kim quickly stood up, sensing that her brother was not making an idle threat, "Matthew, please leave us be, It's Christmas, and I don't want to cause trouble."

"Well, I'm attending Angel Grove University," Matthew stated, "And I heard from Veronica that you were in town for the weekend."

Kim rolled her eyes, she and Veronica had been rivals since they had butted heads about the Angel Girl Club. She had heard rumors that she was holding a grudge, but this was low, even for her.

"Did she mentioned that I was married and had kids?" Kim asked through clenched teeth.

"Yes, she did mentioned that you were stuck raising kids, half of them not yours and paying the bills while you're so called husband throws money away chasing girls at the local college. A shame really."

"All six children are mine, no matter where they came from, and for your information my husband has an intern job at the local museum that pays for his tuition." With that Kim grabbed Tommy and hurried out to the car.

As soon as she was in their Suburban, the only vehicle they could find big enough for their family, she let out a sigh, "I'm glad we are only here for the weekend. I knew she didn't like me but making my ex believe I was some sort of slave." Kim's whole body shook, "I wanted to blast him to shut him up."

Tommy eyebrow arched, ex, that explained why the original team had acted like Goldar had just step into the room, "What went wrong?"

"With our relationship? He didn't understand the word no, one night I couldn't convince him that I meant no when I said no. I used some self defense moves that I learned and ran next door to the Scott's. Papa called the police. His parents were so embarrassed that they moved. I didn't think he'll come after me, not after all this time."

Tommy groaned, "Why can't Drama wait until after the holidays to arrive, last year it was a mass invasion, this year an ex boyfriend."

"Tomorrow is Thanksgiving we are spending the whole day at your parents, so how about Friday morning, after breakfast, we pack up and head home early," she said with a smile.

"What about Black Friday?" Tommy asked.

"We are rich, Tommy, we don't need the sale!"

...

"Matthew was bad news Tommy," Jason said, carefully wrapping a Christmas present, "All he wanted was to get Kim in bed with him, and he did whatever he could to do it. Luckily, Kim had the makings of a power ranger, and got away. Dad called the police, but they where both under age and nothing happened, so they dropped it." He quickly placed a name tag on the present, "I'm glad I got my Christmas shopping done early. I hate the mobs at the mall on Black Friday. I'm hoping Kim doesn't try to drag me along."

"She doesn't even want to be near Angel Grove any longer than she has to. She told me that Black Friday was just a sale."

"Well, if dear old Matt shows up at your parent's house, maybe a red ranger can drop by?"

Tommy stood up, "I'll keep that in mind," he paused as he reached the door, "Oh, Jason?"

"Yeah."

"Happy Thanksgiving."
