Chapter 12: Moving Out and a Night at the Oliver's

Rainbow Manor Home for Teenage Mothers, Stone Canyon

August 15, 1996

3 pm

Kim was upstairs packing her, Tommy, and Luca's things while Tommy was downstairs with Luca and Ann. Ann was holding Luca as Tommy was looking on.

"You need to bring him by here every now and then. We want to see him grow up," Ann said to Tommy.

"Oh we will. You, Angie, and Mariah are part of our family now. If it wasn't for Rainbow Manor, Kim would've had nowhere to go," Tommy said.

"Yeah, most of the girls that come through here say that very often. They or their boyfriends thank us for having the home available to girls like them. We've saved a lot of lives with the work that we do."

"And me and my parents thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

"Thank you, Tommy. It's because of kids like you and Kim that keep me going. I love my job and what I do. Just knowing that I make a difference is enough."

"Anytime, Ann, anytime," Tommy said giving Ann a hug.

Kim came downstairs with three bags full of hers, Tommy's, and Luca's things.

"All packed up, Kim?" Ann asked.

"Yes. Thank you Ann, for everything," Kim said hugging the older woman as Tommy held Luca.

"Oh honey no need to thank me. It's my job," Ann said.

"We'll bring Luca by often, and we'll keep everyone updated," Kim said.

"Thank you, dear. You and Tommy take care, now. Best of luck to both of you," Ann said as Kim, Tommy, and Luca walked out of the house.

Halfway down the sidewalk, Kim paused to look back at the house, then turned towards Tommy's truck and got in. Tommy and Kim then drove to his parents' house.

Jan and James Oliver's House, Angel Grove

4:30 pm

Tommy pulled into the driveway of his parent's house. Kim got out and opened the back passengers side door and got out Luca's car seat and carried it to the house. Tommy got their things out of the back.

"Hey Tommy, Kim! Hey little guy!" James said as he took the car seat from Kim as Kim went inside, Tommy following.

"Where's Mom?" Tommy asked James.

"She'll be here in a few minutes. She went to the store to get some more food and some diapers and baby clothes," James said.

"We still have half a package of diapers left and three cans of formula that the hospital gave us," Tommy pointed out.

"Tommy, babies go through a lot of diapers when they're this young, so we need a lot of diapers," Kim reminded him.

"She's right, you know," James said.

Tommy just shrugged as his dad was now holding Luca.

"He definitely looks like you except he's got Kim's button nose. I don't know whose eyes he inherited since both your eyes are brown. He's got your hair though," James said studying Luca.

"I think he's got Kim's eyes more than mine," Tommy said.

"Maybe, but his eyes got more gold tones like yours do," James said.

"True. Hey Kim, whose eyes does Luca have yours or mine?" Tommy asked Kim.

"Yours. When I look into his eyes I see you in them," Kim said.

"Told you," James said.

Tommy shrugged again as Jan came in the door.

"Sorry I took so long; it was hard finding newborn diapers in any store, but I finally got them at Target and on sale. I hope two packages is plenty," Jan said dropping both boxes on the floor and putting two bags of baby wipes and baby clothes on the kitchen table.

"I'll grab the bags and take them upstairs if you want to put the packages of diapers in the back of your truck, Tommy," Kim said to him as she grabbed the bags and went upstairs. Tommy grabbed the packages of diapers and took them out to the truck.

Jan put their dinner in the oven to heat it up.

Kim came back downstairs as Tommy came back inside.

"I hope everyone is hungry for lasagna. It'll only take 15 minutes to heat up," Jan said.

"Should we show them the guest room we made up for the baby?" James asked.

"Oh yeah! Almost forgot! Come upstairs with me, Kim and Tommy," Jan said as Kim and Tommy followed her upstairs, followed by James with Luca.

Jan came to the room across from Tommy's and opened the door.

"Don't just stand there, go on in," Jan said as Kim and Tommy went in. Kim gasped.

The room was painted in blue and decorated with airplanes. The bedding was even in an airplane theme.

The crib was white and so was the changing table.

"We purchased another crib and changing table just like these for your new place, complete with the same bedding you see here, along with a bassinet, which is a fold away one. James and Tommy will put all of it in Tommy's truck tomorrow. We're keeping the crib and changing table in this room in case we have to babysit Luca overnight," Jan said.

"Oh Mrs. Oliver, thank you. We'll pay you back…" Kim started to say until Jan stopped her.

"Oh, consider them gifts since you didn't have a baby shower given the circumstances," Jan said hugging Kim.

"Mom, you're the best, thank you," Tommy said hugging his mother.

"Oh, dinner's ready!" Jan said as the oven dinged.

After dinner Kim, Tommy, Jan, and James sat in the living room watching some movies. Jan held Luca as Kim and Tommy were discussing their plans for the townhouse.

"So, what's your color scheme, or don't you have one?" James asked.

"For the kitchen? I was thinking a lot of blues. I've been liking that color lately," Kim said.

"That sounds nice. So, how's the working world been treating you?" Jan asked.

"Very good. We have enough saved up for some furniture and other things that we need for Luca," Tommy said.

"That's good. I love this scene in this movie. It's very comical," James said as he and the others turned their attention to the movie.

3 am

Kim woke up to Luca crying. She wanted to ignore him, but he needed to be fed. Kim got up and walked over to the guest room.

Luca was in the bassinet that was set up. Kim picked him up and carried him over to the rocking chair, sat down, and opened her nightgown. Luca found what he was looking for and started to suckle. Just then Jan came in the room.

"That was his hungry cry, huh? I can tell," Jan said.

"Yeah, he gets fed around this time," Kim said.

"Tommy made that same cry when he was hungry."

"How was Tommy as a baby?"

"He was very needy, as most babies are. But as he got older he became easier going and very laid back. I just hope his parenting skills aren't as laid back as he is."

"He's really good with Luca. I mean he changes poopy diapers easily even though he gags but he doesn't make a fuss of it."

"Yeah, James wasn't too keen on changing poopy diapers, but he got better as time went on."

15 minutes later Luca was done eating and Jan offered to burp him so Kim could get some sleep.
