Jimmy and Kim were sitting on the couch watching Joey play video games. "Do you think we should tell him now?" Kim asked.
"Yeah I think we should," Jimmy said smiling.
"Joey come sit on the couch with us. Your mom and I have something to tell you," Jimmy said.
Joey sat down on the couch in between his mom and dad. "Joey your dad and I are back together, and we're having another baby," Kim said.
Joey smiled. He wanted his mom and dad back together, and now they were.
After they were done talking Kim put Joey to bed. She and Jimmy were in her bedroom talking. "Joey seemed happy," Jimmy said.
"Yeah, he wanted us to get back together since we first split up," Kim said.
"Yeah, that was hard on him," Jimmy said. He hated being away from Kim and Joey.
"Well at least everything has worked out," Kim said.
Jimmy leaned over and kissed Kim. "Do you want to stay the night?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, I do," Jimmy said. They both lied down and fell asleep in each other's arms.
Kim woke up in Jimmy's arms. She smiled softly. She then got out of bed to check on Joey. She walked into the room and gently shook him. "Joey you have to get ready for school," Kim said. Joey slowly got out of bed. Kim left to start breakfast.
Jimmy woke up to an empty bed. He got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. He saw Kim cooking. "Morning," Jimmy said behind her as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Morning," Kim said leaning into him.
"So what are you cooking?" Jimmy asked.
"Eggs and pancakes," Kim replied.
"Mommy can I spend the night at grandma's?" Joey asked.
"If it's okay with her," Kim replied. Joey sat down at the table waiting for breakfast to get done. When he was done eating Jimmy and Kim took him to school.
Jimmy and Kim walked into work together. Everyone looked up with confused looks except for Alex. They both went upstairs to change.
"So you think they're back together?" Carlos asked confused.
"No they walked into work together for the heck of it," Alex said sarcastically. She couldn't believe Carlos was that stupid.
"Oh okay," Carlos said and then went outside.
"Is he actually that stupid?" Alex asked.
"Yeah I think so," Doc replied.
After the shift Alex went to talk to Kim. "So Kim, are you and Jimmy back together?" Alex asked.
"Yeah we are," Kim replied.
"That's good. I'm happy for you," Alex said.
"Thanks. I have to go. Jimmy and I were going to tell my mom about us.
"How do you think she'll react to this?" Alex asked
"Not to good. But she has a right to know," Kim said and left.
She met Jimmy outside. He was going to drive them there. He pulled up in front of Catherine's house. "Are you ready for this?" Jimmy asked. He knew Kim was fearing this moment since they got back together.
"No, but we have to tell her," Kim replied truthfully. If they didn't tell her now, Joey would.
Jimmy and Kim walked up to the door and Kim knocked lightly. Catherine answered the door with a confused look. Why would Jimmy and her daughter both be here together and holding hands. She just hoped they weren't together. Catherine let them in. "Mom Jimmy and I need to tell you something," Kim said. She just hoped her mom wouldn't react badly.
"What's that?" Catherine asked.
"Jimmy and I are back together," Kim said.
"What? How can you just go back with him after he hurt you?" Catherine asked. She couldn't believe Kim was being this stupid. All Jimmy would do is hurt her again.
"Kim and I are having another baby, and we plan on getting married," Jimmy said.
"Get out. I want you both out of my house," Catherine said.
"Mom, can't you just accept that Jimmy and I love each other and that we want to be together?" Kim asked. She couldn't believe her mom was reacting like this. She knew her mom wouldn't be happy, but she didn't think she'd act like this.
"Kim all he's going to do is hurt you like he did the last time. Are you that dumb that you'd go back with him just because you're pregnant? I want you and Jimmy to leave," Catherine said.
Jimmy parked infront of Kim's place. "Can you come up with me?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, sure," Jimmy replied. He knew Kim was upset and probably didn't want to be alone.
They walked into her apartment and sat down on the couch. "Are you okay?" Jimmy asked with concern. He saw the far away look on Kim's face.
"I can't believe she reacted that way. Why can't she just be happy for us?" Kim asked with tears in her eyes.
"She just wants to protect you Kim. She didn't mean to hurt you," Jimmy said pulling her into his arms.
"I know. Thanks for staying with me and making me feel better. Some how you always manage to make me happy," Kim said. She was so happy to be with Jimmy again.
"I'm glad I could help," Jimmy said. He loved her so much. He hated seeing her upset. He'd make things work this time. He'd get Catherine to accept them.
