A/N: Let's get the story started. There's a lot going on in this chapter. Someone finds out their pregnant, there's a premonition, and Sam comes back.
A/N: If I confused anyone in the last chapter, I apologize. The point I was trying to make was that both future and present Kim were fainting around the same times.
Chapter 20- The Countdown

Mariner Bay- Dr. Grayson's office
Mrs. Kimberly Hart-Oliver was inside Dana's office. Tommy ordered his new wife to see a doctor the weekend after their wedding. Kim smiled at the thoughts of the weekend. The elopement was a success, there was no drama, and everyone had a great time.
(Flashback)
The car ride from Reefside to Las Vegas, Nevada was an eventful one to say the least. Tommy was coasting it at 95 mph. He would've done 120, but Kira was in the backseat of the car. She was looking a bit green.
"Dr. O, slow down please!" Kira pleaded with him. Conner gave her a water bottle.
Kim nodded. "Handsome, if you don't slow down, I'm pretty sure this car will need new tires." She held on to the dash for dear life.
"Live a little." Tommy said as he floored it.
"Damn, I knew he used to be a race car driver, but jeez." Conner said as he held on to Kira. She unbuckled her seatbelt, so she can lay her head on Conner's lap.
Jason's car was right next to them. Rocky decided to moon them.
"Ew, that is so gross!" Kim covered her eyes. She texted Trini's phone. 'Look at the back, Rocky ismooning us'. Kim looked at the car, and saw Trini had read the text. The 'original pink' didn't get a response. She saw what the 'original yellow' did to Rocky. She laughed.
Conner was looking at the desert scenery outside. Then his attention floated to Trini, her seatbelt was unbuckled, and she was punching Rocky. The red Ninjetti was covering his body. "What did he do?" He missed what really happened.
"Rocky shoved his ass against the window." Kimberly informed.
"I am so glad I am driving." Tommy kept his eyes on the road. "He would do that with Bren in the car?"
"Thank goodness I didn't witness that." Kira muttered. Conner kissed her.
Tommy noted the silence. "Are you making out in my car?" He looked at the rearview mirror. Conner's head was facing down.
"Your car?" Kim echoed. Tommy nodded. "I believe it's my car!"
"You are about to be my wife. We share everything." Tommy joked.
Kim giggled. "I am going to love your bank account, huh?" He nodded. "Good, your credit cards are going to get a good workout this weekend."
Tommy rolled his eyes. "You are lucky I love you and everyone else." He smiled. "Conner."
"Yes. Um." Conner tried to catch his breath. "Yes, Dr. O."
"Since, you, Kira, and Brennan can't do much. I'm sure you three will head to Circus Circus." Tommy knew that casino was more kid friendly than anything else. Conner nodded. "I'll give you some money."
Kim smiled. "You can take my car, so you three won't have to worry about taking the bus or something."
"Wow." Conner said. He was stroking Kira's hair. "I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me, Kira, and our unborn baby. You guys are amazing."
"Don't think anything of it." Kim humbly replied. She turned her head to look at him. "You're like a teenage son to me."
It was true, after everything,] Tommy and Kim had been doing for Conner and Kira, they might as well had adopted them. The soon to be teenage parents had been living in the condo for a month now. At school, kids would make fun of them because they were going to be parents by the end of the school year. Kim and Tommy made sure to stick up for them. Conner worked over the weekends at Adam and Rocky's dojos. Carlos Vallerte, former Green Turbo and Black Space ranger, informed Conner he could start working as an assistant coach for his soccer team. Things were falling into place for Conner. While Kira, would still perform at Hayley's. Hayley would pay her for the gigs.
"We should be there in an hour." Tommy sped up. "I am so winning that $100."
The occupants smiled.
45 minutes later. . .
The WhiteNissan Armada arrived first at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. Tommy went to check in. He reserved two rooms. One, for him and Kim, the other for Conner and Kira. He didn't want to share the room with his students especially after he was married.
Twenty minutes later, the Red Ford Expedition arrived at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. Jason looked around.
"Shit." The 'original red' cursed. He knew he had lost.
From the back, they heard Brennan. "Rocky, what does-" Aisha covered his hand.
"Thanks 'Sha." Trini knew Aisha prevented the little boy from repeating the word. Trini put down her phone. "Alright, they should be here by tomorrow." She let everyone know. They all nodded.
"So Bro, you already down 100?" Rocky chastised.
Jason parked his car. They all started to gather their things. "I'll get it back." All of them checked in. Of course they got separate rooms, Jason, Trini, and Brennan in one, and Rocky and Aisha in another. Jason called Tommy to see where he was.
The former rangers and a toddler met by one of the buffets.
Tommy smiled. He held out his hand. Jason gave him a Benjamin.
"Here." Tommy handed the money off to Conner.
Conner took it. "Thanks, Dr. O." Kira took a picture of him holding it. She smiled at the sight of Conner and the money.
"We need to be careful of where Kira goes." Trini informed. They nodded. "We don't want the baby to get the second hand smoke."
All of them went to the buffet to eat dinner. They stayed there for two hours. Rocky, Kira, and Conner had a dessert eating contest. Kira was supreme, as she ate 6 desserts. Rocky and Conner chorused it wasn't fair, since she was eating for two. It was a good dinner. There was no stress, they had fun, and there were no unexpected visitors. Conner and Kira took Brennan to their room. Kira was tired, plus the adults were ready to gamble the night away. Some won, some lost, and others broke even. Aisha made sure to monitor Rocky's drinking. He whined about it, but Aisha didn't back down. Jason and Tommy drank in moderation, which made for a very happy Trini and Kimberly. The whole night, Tommy and Kim were making out and holding hands.
Tommy's eyes did flash green once. A drunken guy got a little too close to Kim. His falcon senses were on point because the white Ninjetti noticed the altercation by the bar and Kim, Trini, and Aisha were almost half a mile away Kim's eyes flashed pink once. A similar altercation happened to Tommy. A woman threw herself on Tommy, and Kim took care of that, right away. The three couples finally parted for their rooms. The next afternoon, a wedding was to take place.
The Next Morning
The rule of seeing your spouse the day of your wedding flew out the window. All of them went shopping for their wedding attire. The guys separated while the women went to look for Kim's wedding dress. The first store they walked into had a lot of wedding dresses to choose from. There were so many styles; Kim knew she would find the dress. She felt it.
"Are you ready to find your dress?" Kira looked around.
Kim smiled. "More than ready."
Trini, Aisha, and Kira went to look for their bridesmaids' gowns. They all knew it had to be yellow.
A woman came to help Kim. "Are you looking for anything in particular?"
"I just want it to be unique yet classic." Kim said. She looked and a dress caught her eye. She grabbed it, and for her, it was the dress. "I want this one." The pink Ninjetti picked out a strapless A-line dress. It had lace, and it was vintage. She went to try it on.
Trini, Aisha, and Kira were waiting for her. The sales lady came up to them. "Are you the bridesmaids?" They nodded. "What are you three looking for?"
"Actually, there's going to be three more of us, but she doesn't know." Trini said. The lady nodded. The other three bridesmaids entered the shop. "Here they are." She whispered.
Kim walked out of the fitting room. She hadn't noticed the other women there. The 'original pink' looked in the three way mirror. The dress fit her figure perfect. The halter hugged her upper and lower body, while the rest gradually flared out. Kim did a twirl in the mirror. Then she looked at the reflections staring back at her. She gasped. Tears were in her eyes.
"You thought you were going to get married without us?" Kat had her hands on her hips. Bailey was with her.
Tanya nodded. "Girl, you were at my wedding." Earlier in the month, Mrs. Park found out she was having a baby boy.
"And, I needed to come witness this myself." Hayley said.
All three of them went to hug her. Kim looked at them. "I can't believe you're here!"
Eileen laughed as she walked in. "I'm definitely not missing this. After all, you had a crazy year." She hugged Kim as well. "Oh and here." She handed a credit card to Kim.
"I can't take this." Kim knew who it was from. Eileen shushed her. "Thank you." Kim hugged her again.
"Well, let's find some dresses." The sales woman said.
"I'll wear yellow." Kat rolled her eyes. She had to match the bridesmaids.
"Aw, do I have to?" Bailey whined. Bailey was really into blue and pink.
All the women laughed at the Cranston girls. It was only appropriate they change their color for the day. The elopement was turning into a full blown wedding.
"Maybe not for you, Bailey" Kim said. She smiled. "You can still wear pink." They continued looking for dresses, and a tailor started right away on the alterations on Kim's dresses.
Meanwhile, the men were trying on their tuxedos when Anton, Trent, Ethan, and Mike arrived to see them.
"Anton, Trent, Ethan, Mike!" Tommy was shocked. He went to shake their hands. "What's going on?"
"Ask Trini." Anton informed. He saw the salesperson, he handed him a credit card.
"Anton, I can't let you do this." Tommy shook his head.
"Don't worry about it." Anton looked around. Adam and Billy came in. They had coffee for everyone.
"Adam, Billy!" Rocky said as he looked at the ties. "William!"
"Uncle Rocky!" William gave him a high five. He did the same to Uncle Tommy, Uncle Rex, that's what he called Jason, and Uncle Conner.
Adam gave Rocky a 'guy hug'. "You think you're the only one who can get away from the dojo? Hell no, I am too."
"Plus, I am here to witness the marital bliss of the falcon and crane." Billy winked. "Oh, and Zack and Angela send you their love. Zack got a new job, and he couldn't make it."
Recently, Zack was offered lead choreographer for Usher. He accepted the position, and he moved the family to Atlanta.
"Hayley dragged me here." Mike added. They chuckled. The former Magna Defender and the owner of a café hit it off. They've been dating ever since. "You know, I swear she's picking up after the ranger women." He whispered. The men snickered.
"Why didn't you invite us?" Ethan was offended. He saw a blue tie and went to look at it.
Conner was helping Brennan put on his bow tie. "Dude, we weren't even supposed to know." Conner and Brennan walked up to the mirror.
"We look good." Brennan praised himself. The two of them struck poses.
Jason laughed at the two. He walked up to Conner. "You're going to make a great dad." Conner gasped. Jason nodded. "Brennan loves you. Imagine how you are going to be with your own child. I am proud of you."
"That means a lot to me." Conner admitted. He sniffled.
"Dude, are you crying?" Trent questioned him as he looked at the white dress shirts.
Conner wiped his tears off with a handkerchief he saw. "No." He hid his face.
All the guys laughed at him.
Tommy walked up to Billy. "I need you to check something for me when we get back to California." Billy nodded. The white Ninjetti informed him of his suspicions. The blue Ninjetti nodded.
One more person entered the tuxedo shop. For the people who knew him, there was a smile forming on their faces.
"So, my little brother decides to get hitched, and I am the last one to know about it." David mockingly chastised his brother.
Tommy turned around. "What the hell are you doing here?" He ran up to his brother and gave him a hug.
"Daddy!" Brennan and William called out. Conner covered both, Brennan and William's, mouths. He knew what they were about to ask. Jason and Billy gave Conner a nod.
David looked his little brother. "If you really want to know, I get a phone call from the lovely, Mrs. Scott." David smiles at Jason. "She lets me know everyone is on their way to Vegas. I am here to be best man of course."
"You're best man?" Jason queried. David nodded. "I am best man."
"Are not!" David whined.
"Am too." Jason shot back. He went to stand toe to toe with David.
The men were taking bets on who Tommy would pick as the best man.
"Are not!"
"Am too."
"Tommy, who's the best man?" David and Jason yelled together.
The guys laughed. Tommy wasn't sure who to name as the best man. "Um. " They looked at him. He didn't know who to choose. "Flip a coin." He grabbed a quarter out of his pocket.
"A coin?" Anton chuckled. This is something new.
Jason grabbed it. "Fine then." He flipped it. "Heads."
"Tails." David called.
There was anticipation on who was going to be best man. The coin landed. William went up to the coin, since no one else wanted to look. "Heads." He said.
"Ha!" Jason did a dance. "I'm best man."
David couldn't help, but laugh. "I'll let it slide for now." They shook hands. After the men were finished getting their tuxedos, they were ready to meet with the women. However, a text message was sent to the men.
"See ya, at the wedding chapel."
It was now, 4 pm. Everyone had arrived at the wedding chapel. Earlier in the day, Tommy and Kim were able to find someone who would notarize their marriage license. Tommy had already purchased the new wedding rings. He went a little bit bigger with Kim's wedding ring, but he didn't let anyone know that.
It was a Saturday afternoon, so no one had missed work or took off school. Plus, no one wanted to miss the wedding of the 'original power couple.' The chapel started to fill with people. In addition to the surprise couples, more couples were there.
Andros and Ashley, T.J and Cassie, Zhane and Karone, Wes and Jen, and Eric and Taylor. Eric and Taylor, even brought their newborn son, Eric Wesley Myers Jr. He was about a month old, now. They were happy to be witnesses to this occasion.
Trini and Aisha were the matrons of honors. They had on gold, spaghetti strap, floor length gowns. Kira, Kat, Tanya, and Hayley were the bridesmaids. They were wearing, gold dresses as well, these were gold, halter dresses that went to their knees. All the women were wearing black heels. Jason was the best man. All the men had on black tuxedos with their respective colors as ties and flowers. Rocky, Conner, Billy, Adam, and David were the groomsmen. There were two ring bearers: William was holding Tommy's ring while Brennan was holding Kim's ring. Each wore their father's color. Bailey was the flower girl. She had on a blue dress; the top of the dress had diamond like accents on it. For a wedding that took a day to plan, it was pretty elaborate. All the ranger women used their ingenuity skills, and got everything together for the couple.
Kim asked Anton to walk her down the aisle. He was surprised, but Kim felt it was right. After everything Anton had done for Tommy, her, and everyone else it was the least she can do.
"Kimberly." Anton linked his arms with hers. She looked at him. "You are like a daughter I've never had. I am very much honored to accompany you."
Kim's eyes started to fill with tears. "Anton." Kim wiped them away. "Thank you for everything." They hugged.
William and Brennan walked side by side down the aisle, first. Bailey daintily threw pink and white rose petals as she strolled down the aisle.
Tommy was waiting with the wedding party and minister at the altar. He wore a classic black and white tuxedo. The minister's name was Preacher Zen. Zordon must've been in spirit with that day. He gave off an ethereal glow.
As soon as the wedding march started, the congregation stood up. Kim and Anton were ready to walk down the aisle. Tommy's breath was taken away at the sight of Kim. His eyes were glued to her. She was wearing the A-line dress, her hair was in an elegant up do, and she had a tiara to hold the veil in place. Already, there were tears in people's eyes. Eric and Wes, especially, were emotional.
As soon as Kim saw Tommy, it reminded her of their first meeting in the halls of Angel Grove. After all these years, the love between them was still there. Their eyes locked the entire time down the aisle. Anton gave Kimberly away, and he went to sit with his wife. Tommy couldn't help himself; he flipped her veil up and kissed her. All of the guests had smiles on their faces, and some giggled.
Preacher Zen chuckled. "Thomas, wait until after the vows are said." He winked at Tommy. The crane and falcon calmed down. "We are gathered here today to celebrate the holy matrimony of Dr. Thomas James Oliver and Kimberly Ann Hart. This wedding was put together in a day, but this moment was 12 years in the making. The union of the falcon and crane has been a journey, maybe even a mission, and everyone has been in great anticipation of their love combining as one." He smiled at them.
Everyone looked at the Preacher. No one told him about Kim and Tommy's history. They mentioned their names, but not how long they've been together.
"Thomas and Kimberly, the time has come to forget all the stress of planning this day, and simply enjoy your friends and family who have gathered to spend this day with you." Preacher Zen grinned at the congregation. "If I may, I would like to say some words from the Prophet, Khalil Gibran."
"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of your love; let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. Even as the strings of a lute are alone, though they quiver with the same music, give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: for the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow"
This spoke to the already married couples as well. Maybe, even, for the non-married couples.
Preacher Zen knew to speak the next lines. He was determined to make sure no one interrupted. "If anyone objects to this marriage, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace."
No one dared to say a thing. Everyone kept look out to make sure there weren't uninvited guests to this wedding. Nothing was said, and no one else showed up. All the occupants blew out a sigh of relief.
"Will there be wedding vows?" Preacher Zen had to ask before continuing. They nodded.
Kim spoke. "Thomas, my white knight, my falcon, you have been there for me, since we first met. From the time I fainted in the 1800s." She winked. "To the time in the halls of Angel Grove, the time you saved my float, our first, school dance, and I have to say you can't dance." They laughed. "You are my inspiration and motivation in life. You were always my protector, and you even supported for when I went for the Pan Globals. When the downs came, we were separated for a while." Kim's eyes were filling with tears at the thought of the time they were apart. Tommy wiped them away for her. "I came to Reefside to connect with you again, and for a little bit, I thought it wasn't possible. Now, I look back, and I knew we were meant to be. I believe it's written in the skies for us. Thomas James Oliver, you're stuck with me now." She smirked. "I am never letting you go again."
Tommy chuckled at her boldness. "Kimberly Ann Hart, I don't need words to tell me how much you love me. I don't even need to use words to tell you how much I love you. I believe it's obvious I do. Everyone knows I do. We've been through plenty ups and downs. There have been so many trials that we will fight together. I, too, believe it's written in the skies. I will love you until the day I die, or maybe, even eternity."
Kim and Tommy mouthed 'I love you' to each other. For the people who have known them from the beginning, they had tears in their eyes. Out of all the couples, they should've been the ones to get married first, but they didn't. Better late than never rang through their minds.
"Do you, Dr. Thomas James Oliver, take Kimberly Ann Hart, to be your lawfully wedded wife promising, to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, in sickness and in health, and whatever other challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?"
Tommy's eyes stared into Kim's. "I do."
"Do you, Kimberly Ann Hart, take Dr. Thomas James Oliver, to be your lawfully wedded husband promising, to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, in sickness and in health, and whatever other challenges you my face, for as long as you both shall live?"
Kim bit her lip. She turned around, fake contemplating whether or not to say yes. Some held their breath. Others smiled.
"Kimberly." Tommy called.
She turned around with a grin on her face. "You didn't think I'd make it that easy for you, huh? Of course I'll be your wife."
There were giggles heard.
The preacher smiled. "The rings." Preacher Zen announced. Brennan gave Kim's ring to Tommy. William gave Tommy's ring to Kim. "The circle is the symbol of eternity. It is a symbol of union and of the earth. It is a symbol of the holiness and of perfection and of peace. The rings you exchange and which you will wear are a symbol of a shared love which you are entering now, as husband and wife."
Tommy held Kim's left hand. "I, Thomas James Oliver, give, Kimberly Ann Hart, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you." He slid the finger on to her hand.
Kim took Tommy's left hand. "I, Kimberly Ann Hart, give, Thomas James Oliver, this ring as an eternal symbol of my love and commitment to you." She slid the finger on to his hand.
"By the power vested in me by the State of Nevada, I now pronounce you husband and wife." The Preacher nodded. He knew he didn't need to say anything. Kim and Tommy attacked each other's lips. The cat calls and whistles began. Tommy even bent Kimberly down a bit as he kissed her. "Family and friends I present to you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Thomas James Oliver."
Everyone clapped and threw rice as the newly married couple ran out the church. The wedding party followed, then the guests.
Preacher Zen smiled, as he began to dissipate. "It's about time they got married." He was gone after that.
Outside, the newly married couple and their friends left to go to the Bellagio. They had the reception at the buffet there. Mr. Collins called in a favor, and he requested their private room. He paid for it of course. For the rest of the day, all of the former rangers and villains, even a technical advisor, celebrated the momentous occasion. Conner, Kira, Ethan and Trent took the kids to Circus Circus. While the adults gambled the night away. Tommy and Kim retired to their room, no one asked why. The following day, all of them spent their day doing whatever. They still had work or school the next day. Kim felt fine the whole weekend; there were no 'Phantom Kimberly' sightings or any problems from Samantha. They spent all day in Vegas, and everyone had a great time. Tommy and Kim discussed they would have their honeymoon another day. For now, it was enough to be Mr. and Mrs. Hart-Oliver. However, Kim still whined about having to do go to the doctors on Monday. Thomas didn't budge on that.
(End Flashback)
Dr. Grayson walked into the room with test results. "I'm still jealous, I couldn't go to Vegas." She sat on her chair. Dana had been busy with delivering babies all weekend.
"You didn't miss much." Kim giggled. "Well, 'Erica' did hit on Mike."
"Erica?" Dana questioned.
Kim smiled. "She was really a man. Hayley was so mad, she was ready to get into a fist fight."
"She would make a great ranger one day." Dana chuckled. She got serious. "Everything came back normal. No high blood pressure, diabetes, or thyroid problems. However, you are pregnant."
"What?" Kim looked at her. She did the math, there is no way she could've gotten pregnant by the time the weekend was done. "Are you sure?"
Dana nodded. "Lie down." She brought the ultrasound machine around.
Kim laid down. There were several thoughts running through her mind. She had been drinking, she was around second hand smoke, and the exercising, or well love making with Tommy. Those types of things can harm a baby. She felt the gel on her. "Why is that so cold?"
Dana placed the transducer on her stomach. She started to move it around. "You said you have taken several pregnancy tests?"
"Yeah, they've all come back negative." Kim thought harder. "Well, one came back positive. I had my period too. I didn't think anything of it." She looked at the monitor. There was an amniotic sac.
"False negatives are common. There could be several causes for them." Dana took pictures. "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, or hCG, there could haven't been enough of the hormone present to detect the pregnancy. The pregnancy tests could have been old, then there could be your fainting spells." Dana informed. "Those can affect the outcome of a pregnancy test." She took more pictures, and she calculated the expected date of birth. "Your baby should be due by August 16. You are measuring at two months."
Kim gasped. "Dana, I've been drinking, what about my baby?" Kim was worried now. "What if I harmed my child." Kim thought about the dream she had. "What's going to happen to her?"
"Her?" Dana inquired. Kimberly nodded. "You already know what you're having?"
"Um, it was more like a premonition, I think." Kim's dream entered her mind. "Oh no." Worry and concern was present on Kim's face.
Dana was now worried. "Kim?" Kim didn't answer. "Kimberly." No answer. "Mrs. Oliver?"
"I need to talk to Tommy." Kim snapped right out of it. She also had to remain calm, stress could harm the baby.
"Here are the pictures." Dana smiled. "I'll probably travel between here and Reefside, so I can be your primary doctor."
Kim nodded and smiled. "Thanks Dana." Kim hugged her. "When's my next appointment?"
"Used to it, huh?" Dana giggled. "I know about you taking Kira to her doctor appointments sometimes."
Whenever Conner couldn't take Kira to the doctors, Kim would step in and do it. It was now February 10, Kira was about 4 months pregnant. Now, Kim was two months pregnant. The power ranger women were getting knocked up left and right.
"So, what's the total number of women pregnant now?" Kim joked as she cleaned herself up. She grabbed her things as she and Dana walked out.
"Eileen, she's due soon, Tanya, Kira, you." Dana counted off. "That should be all, but then again we haven't had a reunion." Dana smiled. "Kim, take it easy."
"I will." Kim hugged Dana goodbye. She walked to her car. "I'm two months pregnant, and Tommy is going to die. Great." Kim mumbled as she got in her car. She wasn't sure, when he was going to die though.

Oliver Residence-Later That Day.
Tommy came through the front door. He couldn't wait to see his wife. "Beautiful!" He called out. "Beautiful!" The falcon looked around. Finally, Tommy ascended the stairs. He found his wife in their bedroom. She was naked. He gulped.
"See something you like?" She seductively said as she walked towards him. Kim grabbed his tie, and she brought him in for a kiss.
Tommy tried to catch his breath. "What was that for?" Not that he was complaining, it was nice to have a welcoming like that.
Kim grabbed some pictures. "Here."
Tommy looked at them. He gasped. "I'm going to be? I'm going to be?"
"Yes, Mr. Oliver, you are going to be a father." She informed. He kissed her again. "Ready?" She smirked.
Tommy nodded. He loved when his wife got like this.
The newlyweds continued their love making until it was night time. After they ate dinner, they decided to take a nap. Kim was lying on Tommy's bare chest. "Tommy."
"Yes, Beautiful." His eyes were closed, and he held her tight against him.
"I keep having dreams, you are going to die." She confessed.
Tommy got up. He looked at her. Kim sat up as well. "Beautiful, do you think that's why you keep fainting, is it trying to tell you my death is coming?" The doctor of paleontology thought about it. She could be having premonitions. He saw the tears in her eyes. "I'm not going to die."
Kim shook her head. "You don't know that!" She stared at him. "Tommy, you aren't seeing what I'm seeing or hearing! We are going to have a little girl, and I am going to name her Sophia Annabelle-"
Tommy interrupted her. "Sophia?" The woman at the court house he met. That could've been his future daughter. Was that her? Is it possible for her to come to the past? She looked like she was in her 20s, how did she find him.
Kim nodded. "Sophia Annabelle Hart-Oliver." She contemplated harder. "Handsome, I heard a gunshot. I heard your voice. I know it's you!" The tears rushed down her face. She thought about the other voices; she thought the others were Conner and Kira, but the third, she doesn't know who it was. "I don't want to lose you. We just got married, and we are going to start a family." Kim was understandably upset. She didn't want to lose the love of her life.
Her husband tried to calm her down. "Beautiful." She looked at him. "Do you know when?"
She wiped her nose. "I believe it's before Sophia's born."
"That's roughly six or seven months away." He didn't know what to think. Their daughter must've come from the future to warn him of his death. "Do you know if our daughter is this 'phantom' people keep seeing?"
"I don't know. Tommy, hold me." She rested in his arms. "What are we going to do?"
"Beautiful, we've cheated death so many times as rangers." He rubbed soothing circles on her back. "No matter what happens, I love you. Always and forever." Tommy bent down and kissed her passionately.
"I love you too, Handsome." Kim declared.

Over the next three months.
Eileen Mercer gave birth to her daughter, Francesca Michelle Mercer, on February 23, 2005. She weighed in at 7 pounds 8 oz., and was 21" long. Her features were unique. She had Anton's eye color and lips. Francesca had Eileen's hair and skin color. The baby was gorgeous with bushy hair. Tommy and Kim were named as Godparents.
In March, three more ranger women were pregnant: Alyssa, Jen, and Kelsey. On March 12, Tanya gave birth to her and Adam's first child. Anthony Rockford Sloan-Park was 9 pounds 12 oz., and was 22" long. He was a big baby. Rocky and Aisha were named the Godparents. For Kira's 18th birthday, Conner bought her a promise ring. Kira was surprised he would do something like that for her. He told her in the future they would marry, but for right now, their main priority is their child.
April had rolled around. Kira found out the sex of her child, she was having a boy. Conner couldn't wait for his little mini me to be running around. They were thinking of names already. The next couple expecting a baby was Aisha and Rocky. She was now going to be a pregnant bride.
The last few months were peaceful for the former rangers. Kim and Tommy hadn't thought about the premonitions because, they were safe. Samantha hadn't interrupted their lives however, it was now May. Samantha was back in the United States. She had been living in Fiji for the past 5 months. And, she had a new look too. Her hair was dirty blonde again. She had a plan, and her plan involved getting Tommy back. She was in Los Angeles with her family. They all did their part to protect her.
Her sister, Mina, came into Sam's room. "Sam." Mina was holding a bottle of Grey Goose and shot glasses. Both sisters loved to drink.
"Yes." Samantha smiled at her. Her sister definitely grew into her looks as well.
"When are you leaving?" Mina asked. She poured some shots for them.
"I'll be out here in a day or two." Samantha answered. "It's only two more weeks now." It was May 13. Sam had been counting down the days in her mind of when she would see the man she claimed as the love of her life.
Her sister walked up to Sam's dresser. She grabbed the gun. It was a Glock 19. "Is this what you've been practicing with?"
Sam nodded. "You like it?"
"I like mine better." Mina mentioned.
Sam giggled. "Is that what you threatened your competition with?"
"Hey, bitch deserved it." Mina smiled about the confrontation she had with her boyfriend's former flame. Her boyfriend broke up with her, so Mina took care of things. She confronted the lover of her boyfriend with her Glock 35. No one told on Mina, she had a gun, it was obvious she could kill them. "Are you going to get him back?"
Sam thought about it. "I'm sure I will." She looked at her sister. "What does Mama say though?"
"If he never comes back, then get revenge." Mina answered.
Sam smirked. "I love you, sis."
"Love you too. I can't wait to meet my brother in law, or not." Mina picked up the alcohol and walked out.
Sam cocked the gun. She looked at herself in the mirror while holding the gun. "14 days until I see you, Dr. Oliver."
However, something was going to derail her plans; no one was expected for the events that happened on May 27th.
