Chapter 1: Back to normal…or not

Two Months Later

Kate had moved in with Tommy and Kim after her return home. Reefside was a lot like Angel Grove quiet now that the big baddy was gone. Two months of therapy and Kate's knee where she was shot was almost back to normal. She still limped a little bit.

Kate awoke to yelling downstairs. She knew it was Tommy and Kim fighting. It had been happening more and more. She also knew it was her fault. It had taken longer for her to get her disability from the military then she thought it would. Kim was ready to start a family and though Kim would never say it she was ready for her and Tommy to have the house back to themselves.

Kate wanted out too. Her and Tommy had been arguing more, yelling matches at times and Kate was hardly getting any sleep. It was time, she couldn't live like this any more then they could.

She made her way downstairs walking through the living room and into the kitchen where Tommy and Kim were having there normal fight. "Moring," she mumbled. No one answered her not that she thought they would.

"We need to start a family. That's what we had talked about before all of this," Kim's voice was rising.

"Now isn't a good time Kim we've been over this."

"WHY? ITS NEVER A GOOD TIME WITH YOU!"

"Damn it enough! How long are the two of you going to do this? Dance around the subject of me leaving as being the thing standing in your way of having kids?"

Tommy went to protest, but she stopped him.

"Its beyond time for me to leave. None of us thought I would be here this long. You guys can't live like this and I sure as hell can't either. I fell like I want to throttle the both of you most of the time. And I'm sure you both feel that way about me sometimes," Kate smiled slightly. "So, I'm going to look for an apartment and I have to make a trip to Phaedos."

"What are you going back for this time?" Kim asked clanging a coffee mug on the table.

"I have an idea where the other scrolls may be hidden. The three of us need a break. We've been on each others nerves and space for to long. I love you both but I can't take anymore of your guys' fights and the mutters from Kim," she rinsed out her coffee cup.

"I'm sorry Kate. It's not that we don't want you here its just…" Kim paused.

"I interrupted a plan you had set. Its fine, I'm not mad. I didn't think I'd be here this long either. Besides, Jason comes back in a week so I wouldn't be around much anyway."

Tommy smirked, "Planning on whisking him away to a far off planet?"

"No, but I think it's time that we both have what we wanted back in school. I mean eight years is a long enough wait don't you think?" Kate caught the looks on their faces. "What's wrong?"

"He didn't tell you did he?" Kim asked quietly sitting at the dark wood dinning room table.

"Tell me what?"

"She was drunk and crying Kim, how was he supposed to tell her then?" Tommy started pacing.

"What the hell are you guys talking about?"

"Jason has a girlfriend Kate. He told us the night you came back. That's what he had wanted to tell you when you sitting out back but then we found out what had happened to you in Iraq," Kate looked at Tommy in shock. "He didn't want to hurt you so he made us keep it a secret until you two could talk. Then Dulcea got sick and the funeral."

"It's fine, I told him not to wait for me. I just thought…well it doesn't matter. So, I'm going to start looking for an apartment and head out to Phaedos. I'll give you guys a call." Kate slammed the door behind her.

Kim closed her eyes at the sound. "He should have told her that night, it shouldn't have taken two months."

"Jason made his own choices now he has to deal with the consequences of a very pissed off Kate. She thought he would wait, she never thought he would actually do what she said. In all her letters she kept saying how she couldn't wait to get back; how she missed fighting along side Jason." Tommy grabbed his briefcase for work.

"She loves him, handsome. Love makes you do crazy things."

"Don't I know it beautiful. I'll be home around 6."

That day in the park kept running through Kate's head. She really had no right to be mad at all. She had said don't wait. Jason had also said that he cared about her a lot. Kate was confused. She pushed the left button on her communicator. Hopefully, she'd find more peace on Phaedos.

Jason Lee Scott felt like the biggest ass on the planet. He had plenty of chances to tell Kate that he was seeing someone and what's he do…not a damn thing. He finds out from Tommy that she knows the truth now and that she's moving out of Tommy and Kim's house. He had to talk to her, make her understand somehow. And pray that she didn't shoot him on site.

A/N: Bad bad Jason. Hmm…how will Kate react to seeing Jason after she's found out the truth?
