Tommy woke up next to his new wife. Yesterday had been the best day of his life, all of his dreams came true and the only girl he ever loved is now his wife. Kimberly was sleeping on his bare chest with the blanket pulled up to her neck.

"Hey Beautiful, time to get up." Tommy said leaning down to kiss her.

"Last night was wonderful. I swear it gets better with each time." Kimberly replied.

"It sure does, however, we need to get up."

"Handsome, can't we just stay here. I could stay like this all day." Kimberly answered.

"Well, I guess we could stay here a few more minutes." Tommy gave in.

A knock on the door

Tommy and Kimberly made sure they were completely covered up.

"Come in!" Tommy announced.

Conner opened the door. The teens and the twins were all standing there.

"Mommy, Daddy, we brought you breakfast in bed." Diamond announced as Kira and Mercy brought in the two TV trays of food and placed over both of their laps.

"We also brought you coffee and orange juice." Ethan added as he and Trent handed the drinks to their parents.

"WOW, thank you all for this." Kimberly answered.

"Enjoy" Star said.

"We will see you guys in a little awhile. Don't hurry on our account." Kira added.

"Where are Jason and Jessica?" Tommy asked the teens.

"Dad took her out to breakfast. I think that he is considering proposing." Mercy answered.

"Are you okay with that?" Kim asked.

"Sure, I like Jessica. I haven't had a mom in a long time. I am not only gaining a mom but a sister." She replied giving Jasmine a hug.

"What about you Jasmine?" Kimberly asked.

"Jason is cool; it will be weird at school. He is my PE teacher, but he has always been nice to everyone." She answered.

"Now we are going to go and let you two enjoy your breakfast." Kira said closing the door behind here after everyone left.

"That was so sweet of the kids to do this for us." Kimberly said looking down at the chocolate chip pancakes with the words 'Congratulation Mom and Dad' spelled out in chocolate chips on top.

"Yeah I agree. Are we still going down to the courthouse today to file the adoption papers for Kira, Conner, Ethan and Trent?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah, we will have to get up soon. The courthouse closes at 11 on Sunday." Kim answered.


Around 9:30 Tommy and Kim finally made their way downstairs. The kids were in the living room watching a movie. Tommy picked up the remote from the side of the couch and hit the stop button and then turned off the TV. The kids weren't expecting the TV to go off so they turned around to see what happened.

"Mercedes, we need you to watch the twins and Jasmine this afternoon." Kim told her.

"Sure Kimberly, no problem." She answered.

"The rest of you are coming with us to the courthouse. You should be there when the adoption papers get filed." Tommy told his teens.

"So Kimberly, you are going to be our mom?" Kira asked excitedly.

"I am; that is if you guys still want me to." She replied not wanting to force them into anything they are not ready for.

The teens nodded, they had been expected this since their adoptive father started seeing her.

"In that case we should get ready to go." Tommy told the teens.

The teens went upstairs to get ready to go to the courthouse. Tommy gave them a few minutes before going up to talk to Trent. He knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Trent, even though you are grounded for the party the other night, you are still a part of this wild and crazy family we seem to have."

"I know that Dad." Trent interrupted annoyed at this conversation.

"I just want to make sure that you understand that. You are not grounded from any family activity we do."

Trent looked away from Tommy to stare out the window. He just wants him to leave and to leave him alone.

"Trent, I wish you would just talk to me. Or if not me, Kimberly, Jason, someone about whatever it is that you are feeling. If you could talk to us, you wouldn't be so inclined to lie."

"Dad, I wish I could, but I just can't. Please just leave me alone." Trent begged.

"I can't do that, besides you are going with us to the courthouse and then Mercy is going to meet us at the movies with the girls. So get ready, we leave in 10 minutes." Tommy ordered and left the room.


Downstairs

"How is he doing?" Kimberly asked.

"It is hard to say. I can see that he is depressed and he won't talk to me." Tommy replied.

"Maybe, I can get him to talk to me. I know something about depression. I went through it myself when I was pregnant with the twins and then afterwards I had post-partum depression. I had it bad though. I had the surgery on my arm the day they were born and my arm was in a cast, which made it really hard to pick up my babies. I felt like a complete and total failure as a mother and as a person in general. I never would have made it through my depression without Jason's help." Kim told him.

"I wish you would have let me help you. I would have done anything for you and the twins were my responsibility as well."

"I know that, but I shattered my arm and I had anemia. I saw myself as useless and I didn't want you to see me that way. I didn't want your love for me turn to nothing but pity."

"It wouldn't of." Tommy interrupted.

"You say that know, but whose what would of happened at 16 years old. Just give Trent time; he'll open up when he is ready." Kim told him as the kids started coming down the stairs.

"Alright let's go. Mercedes, 2 hours then meet us in front of the movie theater." Tommy said as he led everyone out the door.


As Tommy was driving to the courthouse, Conner saw someone he recognized. 'What is he doing in Reefside?' he wondered. 'One way or another, I am going to have to catch up with him and find out.'
