More Than This
A/N: Thank you for the reviews, glad you all like the story. sorry this took so long to update.
Good news though; I Bought MMPR season 1 on dvd and they are still as awesome as i remember!
I do not own power rangers. If i did, Tommy and Kim would've never broken up.
I also don't own any rights to paramore's songs. I just own my own copies of all their albums.
Chapter Three takes place in an A/U where Kim was in Dino Thunder
Italics : flashback memories
Chapter 3: Hallelujah.
Kimberly Oliver (yes Oliver) was doing her usual mundane routine with a little difficulty nowadays. Well being 8 months pregnant had something to do with it.
Here she was; cleaning up after teaching her gymnastics lesson, cursing her belly for not being able to bend properly. Sure her students were only 8 year olds but she could only show them so much.
Looking back on everything, Kim couldn't believe how far she'd come...
When she and Tommy got back together all those years ago, nobody could really believe it. Even though she had returned to Angel Grove and the love of her life, she still let Kat remain as the pink ranger stating that her time as a ranger was done.
When they graduated high school and Tommy decided to give up his rights as a ranger to do race car driving for his uncle; Kim stood by him all the way, never judging him. Hell, she even went with him.
To say that she was shocked when Tommy told her he wanted to study paleontology at college was a total understatement. Kim encouraged him to do it though while she herself decided to study sports, a crash course in first aid as well as her main choice Business Management; hence where she met Hayley Zicktor.
Tommy, Kim and Hayley got on like a house on fire and even trusted her enough to tell her about their ranger days. A secret she has kept ever since.
Kim and Tommy married straight out of college. It was a small ceremony with family , the past rangers and Hayley. Tommy's brother was his best man while trini and aisha were her bridesmaids. When they were announced as man and wife, the entire crowd cheered like no tomorrow...
A few months later however; everyone had gathered once again, this time it was an unhappy occasion;Trini had been in a car accident and didn't make it. Kimberly had taken the news worst. Trini was like the sister she never had and now she was gone. Tommy was there to comfort her and kim was very thankful for that.
6 months later...
Tommy and kim were on vacation at a hotel (which they later discovered belonged to bulk and skull) when Tommy got the call. He left kim at the hotel, while he and several other red rangers went on a mission to the moon. To say that kim was happy about this would be a lie. She was down right pissed, but when tommy returned , he somehow made it up to her one way or another.
The call then came for tommy to go to Anton Mercer's private island.
Kim hated that he had to go, but it was only for a few weeks. That is until the island EXPOLDED! Kim however; remained calm and thanked her lucky stars when tommy called the next day and said that he was safe. He was safe and that's all she wanted to hear...
The couple moved to reefside a few years later.
After getting a phone call from Hayley saying that the local gym was looking for a gymnastics instructor and the high school was looking for a new science teacher, they couldn't believe the convenience. They both got their jobs on the spot but didn't bet on evil dinosaur monsters turning up or new power rangers.
When Kimberly discovered that her husband was a ranger again, she went crazy "Why? Why do YOU of all people get to be a ranger again?" Tommy calmed her down and started explaining himself "i'm sorry beautiful, I started this mess, I'm gonna help finish it" from that moment on, kim helped hayley as technical support while tommy and the rangers attempted to take down mesagog and his henchmen.
It took a good few months, but in the end mesagog was finally defeated and had turned back into tommy's old friend Anton mercer...
When it was time for the school prom, Kim had accompanied tommy and had accepted the offer to sing one song before Kira would perform. Unfortunately that meant that she would be introduced by Cassidy Cornell, who kim actually thought was really annoying.
"Okay everybody, just for tonight, for one song and one song only, give it up for Kimberly Oliver". Kim approached the stage, grabbed the guitar and said " Hi guys, I hope you're all having a good night, This song goes a little like this..."
Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place This time we're not giving up Holding onto patience wearing thin This time we're not giving up And we've got time on our hands This time we're not giving up
If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
If only time flew like a dove
Well God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah"
We'll make it last forever
I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
We could watch it fly and just keep looking up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah"
We'll make it last forever
(We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands
Got nothing but, got nothing but
(We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands
Oh, let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah" (hallelujah)
Hallelujah
When she finished singing and the cheering ended, Kim introduced Kira and went off to dance with Tommy.
"You were fantastic beautiful" he said with a smile. "Thanks handsome, I have you to thank for it though" Tommy arched his eyebrow out of curiosity.
"it kinda reminded me of us and how far we've come... and even further we'll go" "it kinda does doesn't it?" he said thinking and looking back on it all. 'Great Kim now's your chance...' she thought to herself.
"Hey Tommy, are you gonna be busy in the next 18 years?" Tommy gave Kim a puzzled look "Kim honey, do you know something i don't?"
Kim looked him straight into the eyes and said "I went to the doctors this morning, they confirmed that i'm 3 months pregnant" Kim didn't say anymore due to the fact that she was lifted in the air and spun around by her husband.
That was 5 months ago. During this time Kim went down to part time shifts at the gym as she got bigger. Tommy had been supportive during her weird cravings to even getting excited when she let him feel their baby move and kick. At one point, they had been arguing over what colour to decorate the nursery; but in the end they both settled on a pale yellow for two of the walls and a pale green for the other two sides.
Kim had got home and had just decided to chill out infront of the TV. She had been getting cramps for a good few hours now but had decided to not let tommy worry. They had already had two false alarms this week and she wasn't even 40 weeks along yet. 'Kim, you are 37 weeks; get a hold of yourself. You could pop at any time now.
And POP she did.
About an hour later, Kim's water broke and she called Tommy hoping that he would pick up the phone. 'Damn these stupid staff meetings'. With a stroke of luck she heard his magical voice that always kept her calm.
"Hello" he whispered into the phone. "Tommy, it's me; My waters broke" she said, trying to get her breathing right. "WHAT!" He screamed down the phone "i'll be right there to take you to the hospital, grab your bag beautiful" he said.
6 Hours later...
Kim was fully dialated with Tommy right by her side. The doctor kept telling her "Push kim, Push" Kim screamed in pain "You fucking push" as she grasped tommy's hand in a death grip. Even though he himself wanted to scream at the pain his hand was bearing, he knew full well that kim was bearing more.
About 30 minutes later the doctor said those magic words "It's a girl, Congratulations". Kim fell back on the bed, while Tommy cut the cord with a chesire cat grin on his face. After the doctors delivered the afterbirth and cleaned kim up a bit, the nurse handed their daughter to her. "Hey baby" Kim cooed to the little girl "We've been waiting for you to arrive" She felt an arm around her shoulder and saw Tommy sit on the bed with her.
"She's beautiful kim" Tommy said in awe. "She's ours" Kim said with a matter of fact in her voice. She moved out of his grip by turning slightly and gently put the baby in his arms. "Welcome to the world Abigail Trini Oliver" he said as he placed a kiss on his daughter's forehead.
"I love you Kim" Tommy said as he gave her a passionate kiss. "I love you too Tommy" she said in return as she snuggled into his shoulder to watch their baby sleep in his arms.
To kim, This was the life. Her life and as long as she had Tommy by her side, She loved every minute of it.
