Disclaimer: Everything related to the Power Rangers, including the Rangers themselves, belong to Saban. On the other hand, I own the character of Tyler.
Note: OMG! I didn't think I'd have so many reviews only for one chapter! Whoa... Thanks you guys!
Achlys - Yeah, for the Kim & Tommy thing, I wanted to do something different... And maybe Adam knows something... keep reading to find out!
Jonathan Lee - Thanks for the compliment about my writing... I will admit that what you said is right. But that was ONLY chapter 1, the chapters will get longer and I will develop more of the story. And I know my subject is cliche, but I'm trying to do something different with it, something out of the ordinary.
goldstranger - I can't give a description of the kid right now 'cause everyone would guess who's Tyler's father right away, but I will give a physical description of Tyler in chapter 3.
Jennifer - Hmm... Jason and Kim together? I dunno yet, that's a good idea, but we'll see as the story goes on...
And all the rest of you that also reviewed - Thanks!
Oh yeah, and I edited chapter 1, 'cause I noticed some mistakes... they've been corrected :) Now, on with chapter 2!

MIXED EMOTIONS
By ~*DiscoHippie382*~
Chapter 2: Telling The Story
Everyone stared in shock. Only one of them, besides Jason, didn't look very shocked…
"How old is he?" Aisha was the first to recover her voice.
"He turned four in May," Kim answered.
Tommy's head shot up. Kim turned her gaze to Adam, who was looking down at the table. "You knew, don't you?" she asked him softly.
Adam startled, blushed as he looked up and cleared his throat before he answered. "Yeah. I found out last year."
Kim looked at Jason, who held his hand up. "Not my fault if the guy's clever," he said.
"Will somebody explain what's going on, 'cause I'm completely lost now," Rocky said.
"Let's go somewhere else," Kim suggested.
"My place," Jason added.
When they got to Jason's apartment, Kim tucked a sleepy Tyler in bed, then joined her friends in the living room.
"Okay, so I think I owe you guys some explanation," she said. "Especially to you, Tommy."
"Yeah. In fact, there's two things I want to know. You said that Tyler was four… that means you got pregnant before you left Angel Grove, right? Which leads to my second question: I know that we didn't do anything together, so who's the father?"
Everyone was too busy watching Kim to notice that one of them was turning crimson. Kim took a deep breath and sat down on the carpeted floor.
"Tommy, remember about two weeks before I left for Miami? One day, you had to visit your grandparents in Stone Canyon… Well, that night, Rocky threw a party…"
Flashback - August 1995
"Hey Kim! Glad you could come!" Kat exclaimed, opening the door.
"Hey Kat," Kim said. "Hey, it's Rocky's place, so why are you answering the door?"
"He's kinda busy right now," Kat answered, pointing to one of the living room couches where Rocky and Aisha were making out. Adam and Billy were talking nearby, throwing amused glances in the couple's direction.
Kim and Kat burst out laughing as Kim entered the house and closed the door behind her. Still giggling, both girls made their way over to Adam and Billy. "Hey guys!" Kim said, hugging her friends.
"Hey," Adam and Billy said together.
"Oh my gosh, they're playing tonsil hockey!" Kat exclaimed, glancing over at Rocky and Aisha.
"And I think Rocky's winning!" Adam said, waggling his eyebrows. They laughed.
"Well, I think I'm gonna go get a drink," Adam said.
Kim and Billy followed him in the kitchen. Billy selected a Coke while both Kim and Adam took a beer. Billy raised an eyebrow at Kim. "Beer?" he said.
"What?" Kim said, leaning against the kitchen counter as she popped the bottle open. "Girls can drink alcohol too, ya know."
"I know," Billy said, opening his Coke. "You just don't strike me as the beer-drinking type."
"There's many surprising and unexpected things about me," Kim said, winking. She took a swig from her bottle. "Oh yeah!" she exclaimed. Grabbing Adam and Billy's arms, she led them back into the living room. "Let's get this party started!"
THREE HOURS LATER
Kat snatched a half-empty bottle out of Adam's hand. Beside him, Kim giggled as Billy picked up the empty bottle laying at her feet.
"Damn, how much did you guys drink?" Billy mumbled, taking in their flushed cheeks.
Kim giggled again. "Lost count after the fourth," she said.
Kat rolled her eyes, then went off in search of Rocky to tell him that he'd have two more guests for the night. There was no way she'd let Kim and Adam out of the house. Spotting Rocky going downstairs with Aisha, she decided to leave them alone and went back to the living room just as a slow song came on. Kat felt someone tap her on the shoulder and turned around to see Billy grinning at her. "Wanna dance?" he asked.
Kat nodded, smiled and took the hand he was offering her, allowing the Blue Ranger to lead her to the dance floor.
Back to the couch, Adam turned to Kim. "Want to dance?" he asked with a slight difficulty due to the alcohol coursing through his veins.
Kim giggled, took his hand and pulled him onto the dance floor, stepping closer and closer to him until her body was pressed against his. Placing a hand in the small of Adam's back and the other to the back of his neck, Kim rested her head on his chest as they half-danced, half-stumbled around the living room.
Kat glanced at them over Billy's shoulder. "Look at these two!" she laughed.
Billy looked back. "Very interesting way of dancing," he commented.
"Let's just hope they don't run into something… or someone," Kat giggled quietly.
When the song ended, everyone dispersed in the house as a rock song blared through the speakers. Adam and Kim stood on the side, watching as Kat attempted to teach Billy how to dance. They had sobered up a little and were now laughing amongst themselves.
"Do you really think Kat can do something with him?" Kim asked Adam.
Adam grinned. "Nah… Billy's hopeless at dancing!"
The pair burst out laughing as they saw Billy trip over his own feet. They looked at each other, and as their eyes met, Kim had the sudden urge to kiss Adam's soft-looking lips. She'd been attracted to him for some time now, but had always pushed the feeling away, telling herself that she loved Tommy.
Adam's gaze was fixed on Kim's. God, she's beautiful, he thought. And taken, said a voice in the back of his head. He just wanted to take her in his arms, to kiss her, to tell her that he liked her, but something restrained him. Or rather, someone, he thought bitterly. Tommy.
Kim didn't know how long they stood there, just looking at each other. All she could see at the moment was Adam. His strong arms, his youthful but yet beautiful face, his dark eyes that you could read like a book… Tommy, gotta think of Tommy, she told herself. Tommy's muscular chest, his beautiful, long brown hair that she liked to play with… She almost found herself wishing that Tommy was there. Then, a thought flashed in her mind…
Tommy's not here, but Adam is.
Suddenly, without any warning, Kim surged forward and pressed her lips against Adam's. His eyes widened for a second, but then he leaned in the kiss and wrapped his arms around her.
"Whoa, that was… intense," Kim breathed when they parted, due to lack of oxygen.
Adam blushed and looked down at his hands. "I- I'm sorry, Kim," he said. "I- we- we shouldn't have… Tommy…"
Kim cut him off by pressing a finger to his lips. "You're not sorry and you know it," she said. "And I'm not either."
"You- what?"
"Adam, I'm really attracted to you," Kim admitted.
Adam blushed again. "So am I," he said sheepishly.
At these words, Kim had to keep herself from kissing Adam again. Instead, she drew in a sharp breath. "Why don't we… go somewhere else… to talk?" she suggested, making a gesture of her hand towards the living room door.
Adam nodded and followed her out of the living room. She found an empty room and pushed her shy friend in, closing and locking the door behind them.
"So," Adam said, licking his lips nervously, "you wanted to talk…?" He stopped when he saw Kim staring at him. "Kim?"
All of a sudden, she pounced on him, throwing him back on the bed as her lips attacked his. As their kiss turned into a make out session and things got heated up, both Kim and Adam found themselves shirtless.
"Adam, I want you," Kim whispered in his ear as he kissed her neck.
Adam pulled back and looked in her eyes. "It'll be my pleasure," he whispered back, his lips finding hers once again.
End of Flashback
"The next morning, when we woke up, we both agreed that it was just a spur of the moment thing, and decided not to tell anybody about what had happened between the two of us," Kim said. "Then, I left for Miami, and about a month later found out I was pregnant," she finished.
There was a long and awkward silence as everybody looked at Adam, then at Kim, and back at Adam.

A/N: Sorry for the wait, but I had some difficulties writing some parts of the chapter.
