Chapter 7
Rated R
A/N Thanks again for the reviews. Even the ones that weren't so great. I do have something to say though. My intention is not to stray from the original story line. The facts are: Kimberly wrote Tommy "the" letter. Afterwards he started dating Kat. I'm just wanting to add to the main points in the original story line. If that makes me uncreative in some peoples eyes, then that's fine. But it IS my story ( and I've read it over several times, and there really isn't much I would change except maybe some of the dialogue the last few chapters. I was in too big of a rush. Maybe next story will stray from the original facts more than this one did. I enjoy constructive criticism, so keep it coming.

Tommy carried Kimberly to the bedroom and softly laid her on the bed. What a night it had been. When the food finally arrived, Kim and Tommy told Rocky what had been going on. Well, mostly Kimberly told him, Tommy had too many things running through his head. Was it all for nothing?
Rocky had long been gone after dinner. Tommy quietly made his way into the kitchen. Staring out the kitchen window, he knew what he needed to do. He'd never be able to be with Kim until he cleared the air. But if Kim found out, she would surely hate him.
Pounding his fist on the counter, he quickly ran to his car and headed east.
Kat's Place 12 pm
"Kat honey, tell me what's wrong" Billy pleaded. He couldn't stand to see his girlfriend cry.
"Oh Billy, I've made a mess of things" Kat cried. "I was so young, I didn't know what to do!!!"
What is she talking about Billy wondered? "It's ok baby, I'm here now. Nothing you could do would ever make me leave"
"Just like Xander… just like Xander" Kat moaned.
Xander?
"Do you want to talk about it Kat?" Billy asked?
"N-n-no" Kat whimpered through her tears.
"Well too late Kat, we need to talk now" Tommy said walking into her place.
"Tommy, don't you think this could wait, she's upset!" Billy said.
"Bill man, I don't mean to be rude, but this is something between me and Kat. We have to discuss this. Now you can stay or leave, choice is yours" Tommy said sternly.
"He's right Billy" Kat said calming down slightly "This is a long overdue conversation between us."
Tommy sat right in front of Kat and took her hands in his. "The baby, Kat, was the baby mine?"
Kat immediately looked away "Boy you don't waste any time do you Tommy?"
"Kat we've beat around the bush enough, I need to know why you lied to me, but I think I already know."
Billy's eyes went wide A baby?!?!
Kat started sobbing again. Tommy sighed. "Let me make this easy for you Kitten" Tommy said softly. "I'll say what I think, and if at anytime I'm not right, you stop me ok?" Kat nodded still crying.
"The baby wasn't mine… you were pregnant before we started dating, not very long tho. You needed a Daddy for the baby didn't you Kitten?"
"Tommy I'm so sorry!" Kat sobbed. "Why couldn't you just love me??? Everything I did for you was never good enough."
"Kitten, you seduced me into bed by telling me Kim slept with someone else, then told me a week later you were pregnant with my child. I didn't have time to get over her." Tommy reasoned.
"Would you have ever gotten over her?" Kat said plainly.
"I don't know Kat, I just don't know."
"What happened to the baby" Billy asked quietly. Kat threw herself into Tommy arms sobbing.
"She lost the baby a month later." He said quietly.
Kat quickly stood up and stared out the window. "My fate was changed by a putty. One kick to here…" She whispered rubbing her small stomach " and my life changed forever, not only did I lose my baby, but I lost you too Tommy."
"But Kitten," Tommy said, "I don't think you had me to begin with."
"You're right Tommy. I never had you, Kimberly always had your heart." Kat sat with such frustration. "How am I going to be able to be her friend again?"
"Do you want to be her friend again?" Billy asked?
"Do you still want me Billy?" Kat whispered.
"Of course, I told you earlier…"
"Yeah, well I've heard that all my life! 'I'll never leave you Kat. No matter what you do I'll be with you Kat' What a load of shit!" Kat yelled. "Xander stuck around until I got pregnant. Then he left me because he couldn't be bothered. Do you know how it feels to be used?"
Tommy opened his mouth to protest, but decided to leave it unsaid. He knew Kat was aware that she used him.
"Well Kimberly doesn't even know I'm here. She doesn't know that I slept with you right after the letter. I think she might wonder if we eventually did, but I also think she would be devastated if she knew I thought so little of her that I hopped into bed with you so quickly" Tommy said.
"She did break up with you Tommy" Kat pointed out.
"No Kat, she didn't. I don't think I really understood that until last night. She didn't break up with me. She let me go. She knew I was lonely, and I don't doubt she was too. But she never cheated on me. I can't explain it, you wouldn't understand our way of thinking. To normal people, yeah she broke up with me. We've always been connected like that. I even understood then if you think back Kat. I knew in my heart when I read the letter it wasn't over forever. Remember I said I wasn't upset until you told me…" Tommy looked at Billy.
"I'll say it for you Tommy. Billy, I told Tommy that Kim was sleeping with the "new" guy and that she never loved him." Kat said shakily. "I was a horrible, horrid person, but I was also lost and scared, and well… pregnant"
"I heard you say something like that earlier. Kat, yes you were wrong to say such things, but you were young, as Kimberly was young once. I'm sure if Kimberly knew the truth, she wouldn't be as upset. I'm sure she's going to be a little ticked about what you told him, but maybe if she knows why…" Billy trailed off.
"Oh I dunno, she was awfully upset." Kat sighed.
"I told her to wait and confront you when we all had time to sit down and talk, I didn't want it to end up this way. But when you started teasing her about messing around with Rocky and told Aisha she was should keep an eye on him, she flipped." Tommy explained.
"Well, considering, I can't blame her really." Kat said.
"No offense Kitten, but I can't either." Tommy sighed. "I guess I should be heading back before she wakes up. I'm going to have to tell her everything too. I tried so many times to tell her when we were writing letters… I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I feel like I cheated on her, eventho we were technically broke up. I don't feel like we ever broke up."
"I take full responsibility for everything Tommy, this was all my fault."
"No Kitten, you started it, but I still had a head of my own, unfortunately, I was thinking with the wrong one" he snickered.
Billy and Kat joined in with their small laughter.
"I'll make everything right Tommy I swear, I owe that to you. Even if Kim and I can't be friends anymore, I will do right by both of you."
"That's my Kitten. I knew that somewhere, my time with you was not in vain. I did care about you Kat. And I love you with all my heart. But I just couldn't be in love you." Tommy said sadly.
"That's ok Tommy" Kat smiled. "We had a good time, and we've both moved on to better people"
Billy put his arms around Kat and kissed her cheek. "We're all lucky to have each other" he said.
On the drive home Tommy thought about the best way to tell Kimberly what else happened. It's not like I've lied to her he reasoned with himself. But not telling her could be just as bad
Tommy sighed turning into Kim's driveway. What a night. What a year.
A/N I'm thinking about starting another story, taking place before this one when they were writing the letters. Most of the story would be the letters they wrote, but I would try to add some of how they reacted to the letters. The story would have everyone involved, but mostly letters between Tommy/Kim and Rocky/Kim. Occaisionaly I would throw one in from Jase or Trini etc. What do you think? If I some people interested, I'll start it as well. Thanks!!
