Always and forever
30 minutes later (at the reception)
The Youth Center was a flurry of activity there were people dancing on the dance floor, which Ernie had created by moving tables around. People stood all over the place talking. The wedding party was still outside finishing up the pictures.
But sitting on a table, all by her self was a girl around the same age as the others. She was watching everything around her with her nose turned up. She was happy for Jason and Trini although she had never actually met Trini. But that didn't matter because Jason was her friend and Trini made him happy and that was good enough for her. However there was one thing that was making her sick; it was the looks that were passing between Tommy and Kim. No one had noticed her at the wedding, but she had noticed them. She watched as Tommy and Kim would stare lovingly at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking then cower away and glare when they caught each others eyes. She had never done anything to Tommy, but love him, he just never loved her back at least not in the same way she loved him.
Five minutes later everyone had made it inside and the official announcement of Jason and Trini Scott had been made. The happy bride and groom were busy greeting their guests and bridesmaids and groomsmen had broken away to greet old friends when one of the people the girl wanted to talk to walked straight past her. She took her chance and grabbed her arm to stop her in her tracks.
"Hello Kimberly" she said glaring at the girl in front of her.
"Oh, Kat you scared me. Hi how are you?" Kim said with a fake smile as Katherine Hillard was last person she wanted to deal with today.
"Don't hi Kat me" Kat growled using the vice grip she had on Kim's arm to pull her outside and failing to notice the small children watching her and their mom closely.
Scott and Emily ran to Tommy who was talking to Trini and Jason. "Daddy" The twins screamed in unison as they reached the adults.
"What" Tommy said still laughing at what Jason was just saying, but stopped abruptly when he noticed the twins had tears in their eyes. "Hey what's wrong" he asked as he knelt down to their level.
"Daddy, this mean lady, just grabbed mommy and pulled her outside" Emily mumbled as she put her arms around Tommy's neck.
"What do you mean by a 'mean lady', what did she look like" Tommy asked starting to panic, because no matter how angry he was at Kim the thought of someone hurting her killed him.
"Well she had really light hair, daddy, it looked white" Scott said.
Tommy, Jason and Trini looked at one another "Kat" they all said in unison. Trini took the twins while Tommy and Jason went in search of Kat and Kim.

Meanwhile outside
"Ow, Kat your hurting my arm. Let me go" Kim said staring at Kat in alarm.
"Oh more than your arm is going to be hurting, once I'm finished" Kat said looking down her nose at Kim.
"What have I ever done to you" Kim asked curious as to why Kat would treat her this way.
"What did you ever do to me? Tommy. You took Tommy from me. All I ever heard was Kim this, Kim that, Kim loved this. He never stopped talking about you or comparing me to you. That's what you did, you destroyed my life" Kat said screaming at Kim.
"I destroyed your life?" Kim asked in shock. "Kat, I gave you my life. I gave you my power coin and my friends but that wasn't enough for you; you took my boyfriend too. So don't give me some bullshit line about how I ruined your life. You knew damn well that Tommy didn't see you like that but you went for him anyway. You put everything you had into someone that you never will. You ruined your own life, don't blame that on me. I wasn't even there, I had nothing to do with your relationship with Tommy and I had nothing to do with ending your relationship with Tommy and if you can't see that then I think you need psychological help."
"I need help? No Kim you're the one that is going to need help" Kat said as she balled up her fists. "You stole my life" she threw herself into the punch. Her fist was five inch's from Kim's face when her arm was grabbed from behind.
"Like hell" Jason said as he tightened his grip on Kat. Tommy grabbed Kim and pulled her behind him out of Kat's way shooting a death glare at Kat.
"Who…" Tommy said trying to calm himself down. "Who the hell do you think you are? You don't have any right to tell me who I can love, and you definitely don't have the right to hit the mother of my children."
"Kat I think its time that you left, and that wasn't a suggestion" Jason growled still restraining her.
"Fine, I'll leave, but Tommy when she hurts you again I will be waiting." Kat shouted out as Jason dragged her to her car.
"Kim are you okay" Tommy asked looking down at the brunette behind him.
Kim just nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." Kim said trying to keep her tears at bay. "You didn't need to do that. I don't need you to save me."
"Hey, stop that right now, no matter what is going on between us I will never let anyone hurt you" Tommy said as he wiped away Kim's tears. "Come on lets go back inside there's a couple of kids who want their mom" Tommy said taking Kim's hand and leading her back inside. As soon as they walked in they were assaulted by two five year olds.
"Mommy are you okay" Scott asked.
"Mommy did that mean lady hurt you" Emily asked in a small fearful voice.
Tommy smiled sadly at how close his children and their mother, his family, were; and yet he had no idea where he stood with them. Kim knelt down to the level of their children.
"Yes, I'm okay and no that lady didn't hurt mommy" Kim said as the twins hugged her then went back to there Grandma Sarah where Trini had taken them.
Tommy and Kim took their seats at the head table for the wedding meal. Tommy was next to Jason and Kim was next to Trini. As they finished the main course Trini leaned over to talk to Kim.
"Hey, girl you okay" Trini asked as she hugged Kim.
"Yeah thanks to Tommy and your husband" Kim said as she smiled sadly at Trini.
"Husband, that's going to take some getting used to" Trini said grinning. "But…" Trini was interrupted by someone tapping their glass on the stage where the D.J was set up. It was Zack.
"I think its time for the speech's, so we can officially get our freak on or is Tommy MIA as usual" Zack said making everyone laugh.
"Watch it Zack or else" Tommy said as he walked up to the stage and stood in front of the microphone.
"Well I have known Jason and Trini since I was 15. I first met Jason when we were trying to beat the crap out of each other at a karate tournament in this very youth center, the match ended in a draw, which I was not happy about because I had never lost a match before. But my unhappiness turned to envy as I watched him walk over to four people who had been cheering him on, you could tell they were the greatest of friends. But that match ending up changing my life. That day I met my best friend and the love of my life." Tommy smiled sadly at Kim. "And I met her best friend, who just happened to be the love of Jason's life. Right from the start I could see the love that this group of friends had for each other, and mainly the love that Jason and Trini had for one another. I was lucky enough to be around to watch that love bloom and blossom into what it is today. And all I can say is I hope I am as lucky in my life as you two will be because I know that this will be the first of many happy days for you. So raise your glasses to the bride and groom, to Jason and Trini."
After Tommy had finished there was around of 'to Jason and Trini' and some here, here's but once all the applause and cheers had finished, Tommy was back down with Kim, Trini and Jason.
"That was amazing man thanks" Jason said clapping Tommy on the shoulder trying to break the tension between Tommy and Kim.
"It was beautiful, thank you Tommy" Trini said with tears in her eyes.
"Okay if Tommy's done being a girl, next up we have the maid of honor" Zack laughed into the mic as Kim walked up to the stage.
"I have known Jason, well my whole life, as our moms were the best of friends, they grew up together so in turn me and Jase grew up together. Jason became the big brother I could always talk to and I did talk to him more than I actually talked to my own brother. In the last few years I pushed everyone away including Jason. But he still embraced me with a massive hug when we saw each other for the first time in six years and I will never be able to express how much that meant to me. Trini on the other hand" Kim paused looking at her best friend and watching as tears flowed down her face. "I will never be able to thank you enough or make up for everything you have done for me the last six years. Whether you agreed or disagreed with my decisions you stuck by me, you are more than my best friend you are my sister and I love you so much." Kim said looking at Trini with tears coming down her face. "And I couldn't have picked a better match for you than Jason, you two were made for each other and I feel honored to be part of the most important day of your lives. I love you guys." Kim finished stepping of the stage to be engulfed in a hug by Trini.
"I love you girl" Trini cried hugging her tight, as they hugged they felt a pair of arms wrap around the two of them.
"I love you too Kimmy, you're the sister I never wanted but couldn't live with out" Jason whispered to Kim. "I know it might not feel like it but everything will work out. Lets face it Zordon is somewhere watching over us" Jason said smiling the last part to Kim making her giggle. They were interrupted by the DJ.
"If everyone could clear the dance floor, its time for the first dance"
Jason and Trini walked to the center of the dance floor hand in hand. Jason placed one hand on Trini's waist as she placed a hand on his shoulder. Her other hand came to rest on his chest still holding tight to his. She looked deep into his eyes as the music began to play.
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
"I love you Jason" Trini said with her head now rested on his shoulder as they danced.
"I love you too Trini" Jason said as he bent down to kiss her.
And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the
comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right
before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I want to stand with you on a
mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
"Okay, now this one is for the bride and groom and the best man and maid of honor, Tommy and Kim" the DJ said.
"Kim, may I have this dance" Tommy laughed offering his arm.
"It's not like I have a choice" Kim said sarcastically as she let Tommy lead her to the dance floor. Luther Vandros' 'Always and forever' began to play. Kim eyes swam with tears at the song, as they danced Kim cried softly on to Tommy's shoulder.
Always and forever
Each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true, yeahAnd I know tomorrow
Will still be the same
Cuz we got a life of love
That won't ever change andEveryday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever
Tommy started to feel a wet spot on his shoulder that made him pull away and as he pulled away he saw that Kim had tears flooding down her face. Just seeing Kim as broken as she was broke his heart, he did the only thing he could think of and pulled Kim flush against his body and held her tight as she cried.Ever, ever, ever
There'll always be sunshine
When I look at you
It's something I can't explain
Just the things that you do
If you get lonely
Call me and take
A second to give to me
That magic you make and
Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together
Ooh baby, I'll always love you forever
"Kim are you okay" Tommy asked. Kim didn't answer she just shook her head.
"I'm going to the bathroom" Kim whispered as she walked away from Tommy trying to hide her tears. Ten minutes later she came back out and joined Trini at the table.
The rest of night passed in a blur. Trini had her father/daughter dance, during which Tommy danced with Emily holding her in his arms and spinning her around. Tommy never let the twins out his eyesight. Kim only left his sight when Trini said she was throwing the bouquet.
All the women were going crazy; they were pushing and shoving each other. Trini threw it high and it landed straight in Kim's arms. Trini laughed and shouted at Kim 'it looks like your next girl' pointedly looking at Tommy then back to Kim who rolled her eyes.
"Not likely" Kim muttered as she and Trini walked over to Jason and Tommy.
Everyone went outside to see Jason and Trini off on their honeymoon, once they had left everyone else left too, except the gang.
Rocky and Aisha were welded together on the dance floor as were Adam and Tanya. But Billy, Zack, Tommy and Kim sat chatting. The twins had fallen sleep on their parent's laps.
"I think its time I got these two home" Kim said standing up without waking Emily. Tommy did the same with Scott.
"Can I take you so we can talk" Tommy pleaded with his eyes and smiled as Kim nodded. "How about we meet up here tomorrow before we all start heading home" Tommy said looking at Zack and Billy.
"Yeah, that would be cool. We'll square it with them, you two get those little cuties home" Zack said looking at the twins.
"Okay, meet here at 11" Kim said looking between Zack and Billy.
"Affirmative, see you two later" Billy said picking up Kim's purse and handing it to her. "Night"
"Night guys" Kim and Tommy replied.
Tommy led Kim over to his car, as he secured Scott and Kim secured Emily. Kim walked to passenger side but Tommy was already there holding the door for her.
"Thanks" Kim whispered.
"Your welcome" Tommy smiled.
Within twenty minutes they were at Kim's old house, they took the twins out of the car and carried them inside. It took about ten minutes for Kim to get Emily dressed and ready for bed, once she had finished she walked into Scott's room to see Tommy sitting on the side of the bed watching over his son. The sight made her fall in love with him all over again. She had to swallow the lump in her throat.
Kim walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "Tommy" Kim whispered to him. "He is a really light sleeper. If you stay there much longer he will wake up"
Tommy stood up and Kim led him out the room and downstairs.
"Can I see them tomorrow" Tommy begged looking straight at Kim. Kim lifted her head and looked straight into Tommy's eyes. Chocolate clashed with hazel neither could break away. Kim was first to break the glance and to look away.
"Yeah sure" Kim whispered not looking at him but her heart was hammering in her chest.
"I better go" Tommy said but didn't move from his spot. He had decided to take a chance. As he leaned closer Kim met him halfway and when their lips met for the first time in almost six years both felt an instant spark. What started out as a sweet kiss slowly turned to something much more passionate. Six years of pent up love and emotion came out as Tommy slowly sucked Kim's lip into his mouth then pulled her flush against his body. Tommy moaned as he felt Kim pressed up against him. This caused Kim to pull away and remove herself from Tommy's arms to see his dejected look.
"I'm sorry Tommy. I can't do this, I need time" Kim whispered as tears flowed down her face.
"Yeah, I should go, see you tomorrow" Tommy whispered as he left.
