"Hey bro, thanks for coming man. Do you want sausage or pepperoni on your pizza?" Tommy greeted his friends as they all stopped by to help move Kim's possessions into her room and to paint and remodel the nursery that will soon be occupied by Kim's offspring.

"Um...Sausage. So, where's Kim's stuff?" Jason was a little late because he had gotten a flat tire on his way home from work. He knew how to change it and had a spare, so he didn't bother to call anyone to help him repair his truck.

"It's in the back of my car. There is some small stuff left in Kim's car as well, but it shouldn't take long to unload. We already got the furniture in there; all that's left is a bunch of boxes with clothes and stuff."

"All right man, I'll be right back," Jason said as he exited the apartment and ran down the cement stairs to retrieve a couple boxes from Tommy's convertible.

"Hey handsome...you want something to drink? We have some sodas, water, tea, and orange juice, what do you want?"

"Tea would be great. Thanks beautiful," Tommy answered as he pulled her into his arms and gave her a small kiss on her lips. He rubbed her rounded belly with care and kissed her brow. Tommy and the rest of the guys, sans Jason, had already washed the plain white walls in the soon to be nursery so that they could paint it. Kim and Tommy had unanimously decided that a light lavender color would be great for the baby girl's room. It would match the traditional white crib, changing table, and dresser that they had purchased the day before beautifully.

"Okay, open that window and we can get started. Has anyone seen the paint brushes and lining for the carpet?...Trini, will you make sure Kim doesn't come in here until after we're done? I want to surprise her and I don't think the fumes would be that good for the baby." Every day that passed, Tommy got more and more protective of Kim. Even though she wasn't Tommy's wife and she wasn't carrying his baby, he liked to think she was.

She smiled as she saw the loving emotions cross Tommy's face. "No problem, we'll be in her room unpacking things if you need us," Trini said and then left the room.

Rocky got up off the floor where he had been sitting and said, "Okay, does anyone know anything about painting? I know I don't. I really just came for the food...When are we eating again?"

"No, not really," Tommy said as all the "handy men" shook their heads no. This was going to be an eventful night.

"Oh my gosh! It's so pretty. You guys did an awesome job. Thank you so much for doing this for me. She'll love it; I know it," Kim beamed as she looked around the nursery and patted her tummy. While the paint was drying, the guys had washed up and moved the furniture, teddy bears, toys, and baby equipment Kim had bought into the room. They had put the finishing touches on the nursery by adding a couple shelves, an old rocking chair that had belonged to Tommy's mother, some cute little light fixtures on the walls, and putting up the curtains and blankets that went in the crib. It was a beautiful nursery and Kim was extremely grateful for their hard work.

"I hope so Kim..." Jason said as he looked around at their handiwork. He couldn't believe that they had actually finished. It had taken him and Adam literally forty-five minutes just to hang the curtains...

Kim gave them all hugs then said, "Okay, I'm hungry...lets eat!"

"Whoa Kim, you almost sounded like Rocky there for a minute. You better be careful..." Tommy said as he smirked at her. Tommy was used to her appetite already and he liked to make fun of her about it. He remembered the time he had driven to Stone Canyon just to get her some watermelon when their local grocery store didn't have any. She had to repay him with a back rub when he got home, which she happily did as she ate her juicy watermelon. He didn't mind doing those small things for her, that was just one of the small ways they showed their love for each other.

"Hey! I resent that..." Rocky said as he made his way to the kitchen where the pizza was. He dug in as if he hadn't eaten in three months, but the truth was that he had snuck in the kitchen twice already to snatch a piece of pizza.

"God, I wish Marie hadn't gotten her father's appetite. That child eats all day long!" The others laughed as they served themselves the dinner they had more than deserved.

Trini and Adam set in his car after he had offered to give her a lift home. Kim was supposed to have taken her home, but she had fallen asleep a little after ten thirty, exhausted from the day's events.

"Thanks for the ride home Adam, I really appreciate it." Trini was a nervous wreck as she set close to Adam. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, and her cheeks were flushed with anticipation and a little fear.

"Well, it was no problem Trini, just ask me if you ever need anything and I'll be glad to help you out," Adam said. It had been hard to concentrate on the road on the way to her apartment as the smell of her floral perfume made its way to his senses. Ever since their kiss that Saturday afternoon, Trini had been just about the only thing on his mind. She was all he thought about, and all he dreamed about.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Oh yeah, at Ernie's...Jason and Tanya had something they wanted to tell us," Adam said as he looked at how beautiful Trini was in the moonlight. He especially liked the way her long, layered hair fell softly against her face and shoulders. Oh how he wished he could be just one tiny strand.

"I bet they went off and got engaged without telling anyone. Wouldn't that be wonderful news? Or maybe they are getting a place together or something."

"Maybe...Um Trini? Can I ask you something," Adam said with fear lighting his eyes. "Would you maybe like to go out with me some time to the movies or something?" He braced himself for the crushing blow but she agreed.

"Yeah! That would be fun." She leaned in as he did so too and their lips met in another tender kiss. When they finally parted, they were both smiling and blushing. "Will you call me?"

"You bet I will. Night Trini," he said as he tucked a lone lock of her hair out of her face.

She grinned softly and said, "I'll be looking forward to it."

She got out of his car and made her way to her second story apartment with a big smile on her face. 'I'll definitely be looking forward to it.'

Tommy had just finished the last of the dinner dishes and was making his way to his bedroom to get ready to bed as he passed Kim's new room. He looked inside as he walked by and saw her sleeping peacefully on her bed. He noticed she wasn't covered up and made his way to her bedside. He grabbed the blankets and gently laid them across her body to warm her. She sighed and stirred a little, but immediately settled back down. He rubbed her head and toyed with her silky hair as he studied her face. He could easily get lost in her, but right now was not the time.

"Goodnight beautiful, goodnight baby...sleep tight," he said as he leaned over and gave her a butterfly kiss on her forehead. He turned off her bedside lamp and with one last longing glance went to his room to get ready for bed.

::BBBBUUUZZZZZZZZ::

Jason rolled over and swatted at the alarm as it tore him from his blissfully sound sleep. He hit the snooze button and pulled Tanya's body close to his to ward off the morning chill his bedroom held within.

"Mmm," Tanya moaned as she was awoken. She absolutely dreaded mornings, because morning meant that she had to get up and go to work. She loved to cuddy with Jason in the morning however, and couldn't wait until they were married and she could do it every morning.

"Rise and shine sleepyhead," Jason said as he planted a kiss on her neck. He loosened his grip on her as she shifted.

She turned and kissed him on the lips. "Good morning," she said rubbing her eyes. "Today's the big day huh? I can't believe we've waited this long to tell everyone about our engagement. I wanted to tell Kat so badly last night."

"Me too, I wanted to shout it from the rooftops..." She laughed as he tickled her side a little. "I think we should just get eloped. We wouldn't have to worry about the wedding planning and all that stuff. We could fly to Vegas and just do it...today." Jason didn't really want to get married in Vegas, he just knew this would press her buttons and he loved to see her cute little pout.

"No way Jase. I want to go all out. I want the big cake with the bride and groom people on it, I want the huge white dress with the ten foot train, and I want all our friends and family to be there when we say our vowels." She knew she would win this battle...she always did.

"All right, but if we have the whole big wedding, you have to dress up like a nurse on our honeymoon night. I mean the hat and everything...a sexy teddy and white gloves...you go all out," Jason said as he leaned on his left arm to look down at her with a smirk.

"A nurse? You've got to be kidding me. If i dress up like a nurse, you have to dress up like Tarzan and..."

"Nevermind."

Okay, I know it was short and I was thinking of writing more on this one, but I'm getting tired and I have a test to study for. Did you like it? Hate it? Whatever you thought, just review it please. I'm also taking suggestions on the baby's name...even though I think I already have one. But names would be great. If you have any comments on people you think I need to write more about just let me know and I'll try to write more scenes with them in it. Thanks. ~Morgan~
