Summery for this chapter: Everyone finds out about Kim's surprise. This chapter is a little slow and short, but I'll try to liven things up a bit in future ones.

Rated R I believe. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Kim and Trini's Apartment
Saturday, March 25, 2000 3:32 P.M.
Angel Grove, Ca
"Kim, are you home?" Trini walked into the huge two bedroom apartment and sighed as she heard no response. 'Where is that girl?' The two had decided to get an apartment together after the death of Trevor since the place he and Kim had shared brought back too many painful memories.
"...Kim...?"
Trini disposed of her purse on the coffee table and casually made her way down the hallway to Kim's ajar door. She peeked inside and saw Kim, with only her feet sticking out of the heavy lavender comforter, on her bed facing the wall.
"Hun, are you okay? It's three thirty in the afternoon," she said with a fine line of patience. "Why didn't you come to Tommy's birthday party? You know how much it means to him when you come to his stuff...Are you sick or something?"
Kim turned over as Trini insistently tugged at the blankets covering her face. Trini's eyes filled with worry as she saw the blotchy complexion of her long time friend.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant and I don't know what I'm going to do," she sobbed barely above a whisper.
"You're what?" Trini's hand went to her mouth as tears formed in her own dark eyes.
"Oh God Kim...I'm so fucking sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"No, there's NOTHING you can do for me. You can't do anything!
No one can do anything!" Trini took the blows with only concern for her friend. "Why do I always get the shitty end of the deal huh?! What did I do?!"
"Nothing Kim, you didn't do anything. You didn't do anything."
Trini climbed up on the Victorian bed and wrapped her friend in a comforting hug. Then, they sobbed for all that had been lost, and all that had yet to come.

"How's Kim doing," Jason said. He had been totally shocked when Trini had called him late last night. He had literally fallen off his bed when she told him the news. That had sent Tanya into a fit of giggles, but she wasn't laughing any longer when she learned of the terrible situation her friend had been put in. Jason's heart went out to Kim. She was like a little sister to him, and he couldn't stand to see her in pain.
Glancing at Tommy, Jason realized that he wasn't up for discussing this topic at the moment. He looked as if he only got two hours of sleep and he was unshaven and had wrinkled clothes on. He knew the toll on Kim would be great, but what would it do to her other half? He looked even worse than the day he learned she was getting married. 'And I thought that was bad...Tommy was so depressed, but he just smiled, gave her a hug, and wished her luck. I know that took balls.'
Tanya interrupted his train of thought when she answered his question. "I haven't seen her, but I talked to her on the phone this morning. She said that she hadn't gotten much sleep. She sounded like it too."
"I bet." Kat chimed in. "I can't even begin to imagine what is going through her head right now."
"Look, I've got to go. I promised my dad I'd help him paint the garage today, and he'll be pissed if I'm late..." And with that, Tommy was gone.
"He's not taking this too well is he?" Kat was genuinely worried for her ex boyfriend. Even though their relationship as lovers hadn't worked out, she still cared deeply for him as a friend. She remembered vividly the beautiful relationship Kim and Tommy had, and she wished with all her heart that her and Billy could someday have that same love and desire for each other.
"He'll be okay; I know he will. We'll all be okay. We have to...for Kim's sake." Jason's words put an end to the conversation.

Kim and Trini's Front Porch
Sunday, March 26, 2000 12:21 P.M.
Angel Grove, Ca
Tommy fidgeted as he decided whether to knock on the glass door or not. He wasn't entirely sure how he had ended up at Kim's place, but he knew that he shouldn't just stand on the front porch all day long looking like a fool. Gathering up all the courage in his body, he knocked and waited for someone to answer the door.
"Oh, hello Tommy."
Tommy looked only slightly surprised as Kim's mother, Cynthia Dumas, answered to door. "Hello Mrs. Dumas."
"Call me Cynthia Tommy...How are you? Its been, what, three years since we have spoken?"
"Yeah, just about. Is Kim in?"
"Yes, come on in Sweety. She's in her room...she hasn't come out all day. Maybe you can get her to open up."
"I'll do my best," Tommy said as he inadvertantly made his way to Kim's bedroom. Tommy knocked on the door and said,"Kim?"
"Tommy? Is that you?" Kim's voice from inside tore at his heart.
"Yeah Beautiful, It's me...Can I come in?" After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the door creaked open...

So...what'd ya think? Okay, most people usually tell you what's to come right now...but I honestly have no idea where this story is going. Well, I have a little idea, but I'm still open to any comments or suggestions. ~Morgan~
