DISCLAIMER: Nope still not mine. Still holding out hope.

SUMMARY: Kim's tucked away in the infirmary about to start purging her body of all the potion. Billy has returned and become a member of the team. Can the love of her team and especially the love she holds in her heart for Tommy save her?

A/N: I have read each and every review and feel fantastic the more I read of them. Thank you all.

Tommy was holding Kim's hand as she grew more and more restless. They were all watching her fever climb and were worried that she might go into convulsions.

Billy had spent the past two hours trying to make sure that they had plenty of blankets, sheets and towels handy for changing out over the next several hours. Trini was making sure that there was plenty of ice to help with cooling Kimberly down and for cold water for her to drink. Jason and Zack were just getting more and more nervous about this.

"Tommy," Kimberly whimpered, drawing everyone's attention. "I want Tommy."

"I'm right here, beautiful. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere until this is over." He brushed the hair out of her face. Trini handed him a cool washcloth with which he wiped off her face. "I'm here, Kim. I'm not leaving you."

"We're all here, Kimberly," Trini said sitting down next to her friend. She took Kim's other hand. The three guys gathered close each just letting her feel their presence in the room.

"Tommy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Kim was nearly in tears. "Forgive me."

"There's nothing to forgive. Just relax, Kim. Relax."

Trini placed her hand on Kim's stomach and felt the convulsions start as she started to heave. They pulled her up to her side, facing away from Tommy, her head hanging over the side. Trini pulled her hair back out of her face and Tommy rubbed her back as she threw up over and over again.

When it seemed safe, they let her lay back again. Tommy wiped his love's face gently before Trini offered her a few sips of water. Billy had replaced the bucket beside the bed with another one, going off to clean the first out.

Jason and Zack went to the windows and opened them in order to keep some fresh air flowing through the room. They quickly returned to the bed.

Suddenly, Kim sat up screaming, clutching at her stomach and doubling over. Tommy wrapped his arms around her, murmuring against her hair. "It hurts! Tommy, help me!" she cried, tears flowing from her eyes.

Tears flowed from his own as he held her. They knew then that they were in for a long day.

Six hours later, Tommy felt like someone had hit him with a sledge hammer. Kim had alternated between throwing up and other nasty side effects of purging her system of the potion that had held her under Zedd's spell. They had changed her bed several times and bathed her at least six times. The last time had been the worst.

FLASHBACK

Kim had just finished soiling herself for what seemed like the hundredth time. Tommy carried her into the bathroom where he helped Trini to strip her down. He wouldn't let any of the other guys help with this part.

He knew his jealousy was unfounded; Jason, Zack and Billy all saw Kim as a little sister. But he couldn't help but feel the way he felt. He didn't want any other man to see his Kimberly.

The water was room temperature. Any colder and they were afraid that it might shock her too much. But as he lowered her into the water, she started crying, clinging to his neck.

"Not again. Too cold. Not again. Please, Tommy. Please don't do this to me. I'll be good." Kim's whimpering had broken him.

"Jason!" he called. When the young man appeared at his side, Tommy just looked up at him. "I can't do this."

Jason just nodded and held his arms out. "I'll do it, man. Go." Tommy gently deposited the woman he loved more than life itself into his friend's arms and walked away.

As the bathroom door closed behind him, Tommy heard Kimberly scream as Jason lowered her into the water. He fell to his knees and sobbed like a baby.

END FLASHBACK

All of them were worn out and wanted nothing more to collapse into bed and sleep for a good long time. Zack had already crashed over by one of the windows. Billy was asleep on another window seat with Trini curled up in his arms. Tear tracks stained the former Yellow Ranger's cheeks.

Jason and Tommy sat on opposite sides of Kim's bed, wanting to sleep but being afraid to with everyone else already out cold. They were afraid that she might throw up and choke on it if everyone was asleep.

"Man, I'm sorry about earlier," Tommy started.

"No problem, bro. I was wondering when it was going to break you."

"I just… I forced myself to do it because part of me didn't want any other guy seeing her naked like that." He looked up at his friend. "I know that my jealousy is crazy but it's there and I have to deal with it."

"Man, don't feel so bad. I went through the same thing every time I saw you with Kat. I wasn't even dating her and yet I wanted to rip you apart for being that close to her."

"If I had known, I'd have backed off. She liked me but I just couldn't give her the emotions she wanted. My heart has belonged to Kim since the first day I saw her at the Juice Bar."

"She was so hooked on you from the start. She just couldn't stop staring at you after the match. Trini had to practically drag her out of there." Jason was laughing softly, remembering how hard it had been to get Kim to pay attention to anything for the rest of the day.

"She was so beautiful and every time she looked at me I could feel her eyes on me. And then, when she talked to me the next day in the hall and invited me to the Youth Center to hang with you guys, I was hooked. That was it. There was no way out. Not that I'd have taken it if there had been." The two young men laughed over their fond memories, trying not to wake their friends.
