"Kimberly." Kim was asleep and heard someone calling her name. All she wanted to do was sleep. "Kimberly." The voice called again. She groaned and rolled over in bed. Kira was holding the phone out to her while her head was buried in a pillow. "Take the phone so I can go back to sleep." She lifted her head as Kimberly took the phone. "And tell Dr. O not to call so early." She yelled. She rolled over and buried herself under the covers.

"Hello." Kimberly said into the phone sleepily.

"Hey Beautiful. Sorry to wake you." She heard Tommy's cheery voice on the other line.

"Hey. No it's okay. I was just thinking about you." She smiled and lay back down with the phone against her ear.

"Really?" She could tell that he was smiling. "Which means that you were dreaming about me."

"I didn't say that."

"Well if you were sleeping and I woke you up and you were thinking about me that means that you were dreaming about me." He teased. She rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Is there a reason you called Handsome? Or did you just call to wake me up and interrupt my dreams?" She laughed.

"OH BARF!!" Exclaimed Kira getting out of bed and taking a blanket. "I'm going to sleep on the couch so I don't throw up."

"Isn't she miss perky." Tommy said as Kimberly rolled her eyes. "And to answer your question I do have a reason to call but I would want to interrupt your dreams if I'm not in them." He paused. "Am I?"

"I'm not answering that." She rolled over and covered her head with a pillow. "What do you want? I'm sleepy." She teased. He laughed.

"Well I want you to get up and go with me."

"Where?"

"Angel Grove. I have a couple things I need to do there today and I thought you might wanna come with me."

"I wanna sleep though." She fake whined.

"Uncover your head and get up and get dressed. You are coming with me." He said firmly. "I'll be there in half an hour."

"Okay Okay I'm up." She muttered good-bye and hung up the phone. She curled up and closed her eyes again. There was no way she could get up right now. The phone began to ring again and she rolled her eyes. She tossed the covers off and swung her legs over the edge of the bed so she could sit up. She picked up the phone. "I'm up. I'm up."

"You better be." He laughed. He knew she would try and go back to sleep. She hung up before he could say anymore.

On the road

45 minutes later.

Tommy had shown up right on time as he said he would. Kimberly was surprised that he was actually on time now. She hadn't been there for that. It was actually quite funny. She had chosen a light pink sun dress to wear. She found that she was wearing pink more often now that she was with Tommy around. She had let her hair flow today. It was straight and reached her waist but she loved the way that Tommy had run his hands through it and kept touching it last time she had worn it down. She wanted that as much as possible. Now she was sitting in Tommy's jeep on the way to Angel Grove. She kept finding herself staring at him. She couldn't help it. He looked so good. She liked his long hair better but she could definetly get used to it. He was still in excellent shape which told her that he still did his martial arts.

"What?" He asked looking at her. He had caught her staring a couple times.

"Uh nothing sorry." He noticed that she turned about fifty shades of red. He grinned.

"Come on share with the class." He teased.

"Nothing." She stated. She knew she was caught. She had a feeling he had caught her before but he never said anything.

"Well then I need to pull over so you can drive."

"And why is that?"

"Cause I can't drive and stare back." She rolled her eyes and hit him on the arm. "What?" He asked. She burst into laughter. He loved it when she would laugh. He hadn't seen her do it much since she had come into town. She used to smile all the time. "Come here." He said to her.

"Huh?" She asked.

"Scoot over here. I want to be closer to you." He said.

She unbuckled her seatbelt and moved over to the middle seat right next to him. She rebuckled herself. She had to move right up against him to get the buckle latched though. She loved being this close to him. She hadn't felt this good since highschool. She smiled up at him. He held the wheel with one hand and put his arm around her shoulders with the other.

"Isn't that better." He asked.

"Much." She leaned against him fully and watched the road.

The drive didn't seem to take to long after that. She hadn't really been paying attention where he had been going as he drove through town. She was just drowning in the sensation of being in his arms. She was surprise when he announced that they had stopped. She was embarrassed that she didn't notice. She looked at her surroundings and noticed that they were at Angel Grove park.

"I have a surprise for you." He said opening the door. She was in the middle so she unbuckled her belt and moved to get out the same door with his help. He placed his hands on her waist so he could lift her out. He lifted her and set her on the ground. He didn't release her though. He placed her hands on his arms and didn't make an attempt to pull away. He looked up into his eyes. She wanted to kiss him. He held her close and moved one hand onto the back of her head. He slowly moved her toward him bringing his mouth closer to his.

"Can we join the party?" A voice said from behind them stopping them before their lips met. She pulled away slightly and moved her head around to see who was talking. Jason and Trini were walking up.

"OH MY GOSH!!" She screamed.

"Surprise." Tommy whispered releasing her. She ran to them and into Jason's arms. He hugged her tight and smiled.

"I missed you little sis." He said into her hair.

"You to." She pulled away and took Trini into a hug. She noticed Trini's stomach. "Your pregnant." She exclaimed. Trini nodded.

"Seven months." She gestured down to the stroller that she had been pushing. Kimberly hadn't noticed the stroller before. There was a child about three in it. "This is baby number one." She said laughing.

"Wow." She looked at the child. It looked like Jason. She looked up to him and he smiled and nodded pulling Trini to him.

"We've been married about four years now." He said to her. She looked at Tommy who nodded and smiled. "This is Thomas William Scott." Jason said pointing to the child.

"How sweet." She bent down to look at the Thomas. "Hi there cutie."

"Pretty." Thomas said pointing to Kimberly. She blushed.

"No Tommy." Tommy said coming up behind Kimberly. "She's Beautiful." Kimberly blushed again and smiled.

"Well what do you say we take a walk so we can talk." Trini said to Kimberly. Kimberly nodded and the two started towards the lake.

"I can't believe you and Jason are together." Kimberly started.

"Enough Kim. I want to know where you have been?" Trini snapped. Kimberly lowered her head and sighed. "Everyone has been worried sick about you. You leave Florida with only a note to Tommy and no one knows where you are for years and then you show up one day. Where have you been?" Kimberly stopped at the water's edge and sat down.

"I'll tell you." Trini sat next to her and looked at her friend. "I've been in Paris with my mom since I wrote Tommy the letter."

"What happened Kim?" Trini knew that something was up. Her friend would never have left without saying anything to someone.

"It's a long hard story that I'm not sure I'm ready to talk about to everyone. I just told Tommy the whole truth but he's the only one that knows anything." Kim knew that tears were forming in her eyes and could do nothing to stop them. Soon they were pouring down her cheeks.

"Kim." Trini said softly. "I know that something happened to you. I've been worried sick for almost seven years. I have the right to know something. Please." Trini placed a hand on her friends back. Something was defiantly wrong.

"I was raped. Right before I sent Tommy the letter. I didn't want anyone to have to deal with me after that. I was pretty messed up. So I left." She said simply. "I don't want to discuss everything right now though. Please respect that."

"I'll respect it Kim as long as you eventually tell me what happened." Kimberly nodded and hugged her friend. "Does Tommy know everything?"

"Yeah. He had to know about the letter and what happened." She paused. "I'm still in love with him." She hugged her knees to her chest and sighed.

"Yeah I kinda got that when you pulled up and you were practically in his lap." Trini laughed. "He's in love with you to you know. He hasn't had another girlfriend after that Kat girl."

"Are you sure?" Kimberly asked amazed. "He couldn't still be in love with me though."

"Okay just the signs girl. You pull up in his car sitting right next to him and then you get out and are like one second from kissing when Jason had to open his fat mouth. I'm gonna beat him for that by the way." Trini stood and helped Kim to her feet. Kimberly didn't respond. The guys were walking towards them slowly.

"What was that all about Bro?" Jason asked as they neared where the girls were standing.

"What?"

"You were about an inch from kissing Kimberly. What's going on? She's my sister and everything but she left you for another guy and just appeared in your life again two days ago..."

"Bro something happened to her. She didn't leave me for another guy and she had no choice." Tommy cut in.

"So you know what happened to her?" Jason stopped and looked at Tommy.

"Yeah and she will tell you in time. But not now. I trust what she says and I can see the proof in her. She was hurt and she went through a lot."

"Okay but you were about to kiss her. After this long without her. I thought you moved on."

"I'm still in love with her. I was before she explained what happened. Now knowing what I know I love her even more. I'm not sure what it is about her but she never gets out of my head." Tommy sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

"I know you can't tell me what's going on with her and I respect that. I just want to make sure you both are happy. Just be careful." Jason patted his back and they continued to walk.

"Hey baby." Jason said hugging Trini. "We had better get to the airport."

"Yeah sorry about the short visit guys. We have to catch this and get home." She turned to Kimberly. "Tommy has my number. Please call me okay." They hugged and pulled away. After more good-byes and hugs Tommy and Kimberly were left in the park at their spot alone. Kimberly was sitting on the grass looking out into the water.

"Beautiful." Tommy said sitting down beside her. "Are you okay?" He asked. She had been quiet since they had seen Trini and Jason. He was surprised to hear that Jason and Trini had married but thought that Kimberly might want to see them. He hoped he wasn't wrong.

"Yeah." She looked at him and smiled. "Just thinking."

"About what?"

"Something Trini said." He waited for her to continue. "I told her a little of what was going on and she said that she could understand why I wouldn't want to involve anyone else. I was confused by that."

"She just knew that you didn't want to worry anyone. That's all she meant." She looked away again. Tommy reached out and took her chin in his hand making her look at him. He stared into her eyes. She was the one that reacted this time. She felt her arms going up and around his neck. She drew him into her space and lightly covered his lips with hers. The kiss was light and soft but quickly deepened as Tommy pulled her closer to him. The kiss so full of love and feeling that it almost shocked her. Tommy was returning her passion with as much as she was giving.

She was the first to pull away as she was running out of air. He groaned in protest and didn't let her go. She looked into his eyes again. She could see the love in them as she looked. His eyes were always what told her the truth even when he couldn't. She didn't resist as he pulled her into another kiss. This one full of desire and passion. She hadn't even been this close to a guy since she was hurt. She was surprised at how easy she let herself go with him. She wasn't even afraid.

"I want to be with you." He whispered as they pulled apart. "In every way."

"Okay." She brushed his face with her fingertips.

"Please don't leave." She smiled at him full of love.

"Take me home." She whispered into his ear. He nodded and pulled her to her feet.
