Chapter 11: A Whole Day Together

After Kimberly got out of the hospital, Tommy had to make Kimberly to take some time off so she could keep the baby healthy. Ann was so excited to become an older sister and she couldn't wait to help her parents take care of the baby. Well, one day, Tommy took a day off from work. He told Connor, Ethan, and Kira not to bother him unless it was a dire emergency. He took his family out to the park for the day. Once they arrived, Ann ran as fast as she could towards the swings and she called for her father to push her. "PUSH ME, DADDY, PUSH ME!" She exclaimed. He walked over and began to push his daughter on the swing. Kimberly was sitting at the picnic table watching them with a smile on her face. She then walked over to a tree and sat down.

After a few minutes, Tommy walked over to join her next to the tree. They watched as Ann played with her friend, Heather. "She's so happy," she murmured. Tommy reached over and grabbed his wife's hand.

"Don't tell me you're not happy," he objected.

"Yes! Yes, I'm very happy, Tommy. It's just that, some times, I wondered what it would have been like if I hadn't sent the letter. You would've been able to help me raise Ann," she pointed out.

He sighed and wrapped an arm around her waist. "That part of our life is over. We're starting over now. I have you, Ann, and another baby. I'm very, very happy. I forgot about the letter until you mentioned it," he explained. She sighed and placed her head on his shoulder. Tommy held her close and watched as Ann ran over to them. "Did Heather go home?" He asked.

"Yeah," she replied.

She sat between her parents and then Tommy had an idea. "Ann, come with me," he insisted. He picked her up and Kimberly laughed as he held Ann up and spun her around. Ann was giggling as her father played with her. Kimberly sighed as she placed a hand on her stomach. Another baby was kind of scary for her. She wasn't as scared as she was when she found out she was pregnant with Ann.

After awhile, Ann began to grow tired. They had an idea of getting Ann tired before going out and having some fun themselves.

They dropped Ann off at Ms. Oliver's house and went out. They had dinner, went dancing, and then, Tommy was going to take Kimberly out to a beautiful spot to look over the city. "Come on, Tommy, where are we going?" She asked.

"You'll see, don't you dare try to remove the blindfold," he replied.

Kimberly sat back with a sigh.

When the car stopped, Tommy hurried to the other side of the jeep and helped her out. "You can take the blindfold off now," he whispered. She took the blindfold off and gasped at the sight.

"Tommy! This is beautiful!" She gasped.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled. "I was waiting for the right moment to show you this view. I thought tonight would be perfect since we're expecting another baby," he murmured. Kimberly sighed and placed her hands over his.

"We've been married for only a year and we're expecting a baby," she sighed.

Tommy looked down at her with a quizzical look. "Are you tell me you weren't expecting another baby?" he asked.

"No! I was expecting another baby. My worse fear is for Jake to track us down and take our children away from us just so he can have me," she confessed.

"It he lays a hand on our children, I'll strangle him with my bare hands," he assured.

"I'll be right by your side helping you."

They stayed like that for awhile before heading back home.
