Chapter 48: The Party

At the cyberspace café, there was a party celebrating Trinity's homecoming. Everyone had everything set up. Kimberly was setting up a balloon when she saw Katie fiddling with her dress. She smiled and walked over to her daughter. "Sweet heart, don't do that," she instructed.

"Mommy, Trent was making fun of my dress," Katie whined.

Kimberly placed a kiss on her daughter's forehead and smiled. "You look beautiful, Katie. Don't let anyone tell you any different," she insisted. Tommy placed a hand on Kimberly's shoulder and she looked at her husband. "Tommy, tell Katie that she looks pretty in her new dress," she insisted. Tommy smiled at his little girl. He then kneeled down in front of her.

"Katie, if you were anymore beautiful, you'd be glowing brighter than any star in the sky," he assured.

"Really?" Katie asked.

"Really," he replied.

Katie kissed Tommy's cheek before running off to play with Julia. Kimberly watched her kids with a sigh. Tommy wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the side of her head. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine, it's just that they are three already. It only seems like yesterday we brought them home from the hospital," she sighed.

"That's the thing of being a parent huh? You can have them but you can't keep them."

"Yeah, I know."

She then looked over at Ann and Brandon. Ann was trying to fix up the food table when he reached over to grab something off the table only to get slapped in the hand. "It's a good thing Rocky isn't here," Tommy chuckled.

"Yeah, I know, he'd be at that table already shoving food down," Kimberly agreed.

"Jack, could you help me with this sign?" Rebecca asked.

"Sure thing," Jack replied.

Jack got on a stool and helped her put up the other side. "Perfect," she commented. Jack helped her off her stool and smiled at her.

"Becky, I've been wondering something," he stated.

"What is it?" Rebecca asked.

Jack sighed and held onto her hands. "Rebecca, how would you like me to take you to the prom?" He asked. Rebecca smiled and hugged him.

"I would love it if you took me to the prom," she replied.

Jack smiled and hugged her tight.

Kimberly sighed and held Tommy's hands. The one thing she regretted was leaving Tommy and having Tommy take Kat to the prom. Tommy looked at his wife and practically read her mind. "Hey," he whispered. Kimberly looked at him and gave him a smile. "You were afraid when that happened," he stated. She nodded.

"Yeah, but it doesn't mean I don't regret telling you," she pointed out.

"You were seventeen."

"I was seventeen, still in love with my boyfriend, but yet I was stuck in a situation I couldn't get out of."

"You're here now. You have Ann, Rebecca, Josh, Tommy, Trent, Katie, and me."

"Yeah."

"That's all that matters now."

Just then the doors opened and Billy came in. Teresa stood in front of her parents with a smile. "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Miss Trinity Hayley Cranston," Teresa announced. A tired Hayley came in with a baby carrier. Hayley smiled and sat down. Billy undid the baby's straps on her carrier and placed Trinity into Hayley's arms. Kimberly smiled to see that Billy was finally happy. A little boy then stood by his mother and father.

He had sandy-blonde hair cropped short, blue eyes, he was wearing sneakers, blue jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a pair of thin framed glasses.

"I guess the eyesight runs in the family," a voice teased. Everyone looked up to see Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Tanya standing there. Everyone greeted their friends and Rocky walked over to baby. "Hey," he greeted. He touched the baby's soft cheek with a smile. "You two must be very proud," he commented. Hayley smiled and looked at Billy. However, it was Zack that answered him.

"Well, you could say that Billy was excited. He was practically going around to everyone he saw and told them that he has a daughter," Zack teased.

Everyone laughed. Then they looked over at the Galaxy Rangers. "How long can you guys stay?" Ann asked.

"We can't stay for too long," Damon replied.

"Yeah, I do have a couple of kids waiting for me at home," Maya replied.

Leo wrapped his arm around Kendrix. "We have our three kids waiting for us too," Leo added. They nodded before continuing on with the party.

"Nice, snacks," Rocky stated.

Everyone laughed as Rocky walked over to the table with Aisha behind him. "Since when did Rocky and Aisha hook up?" Tommy asked.

"They hooked up a long time ago. Rocky's just been lazy about asking Aisha to marry him. They have two kids already," Adam replied.

"Unlike you," Tanya teased.

Adam shrugged his shoulders with a grin.

Later, Hayley saw Kimberly watching her children with a twinkle in her eyes. Hayley walked over with Trinity in her arms. "Kimberly, would you like to hold her?" She asked. Kimberly smiled and took the infant into her arms.

"She's so tiny," Kimberly whispered.

The memories of holding her own babies came into her mind. She then looked at Hayley and Billy. "You have a lucky catch, Hayley, you better not hurt him," she teased.

"How could I leave him now that I have said my vows?" Hayley shot back.

They laughed before Tommy walked over. "Hey, we're not taking in another one are we?" Tommy teased.

"Nah, just feeling the weight of a baby again," Kimberly replied.

"How about you hold her, Uncle Tommy?" Brian asked.

"Yeah, come on, Uncle Tommy," Rocky teased.

Tommy rolled his eyes and took Trinity into his arms. The memories of holding his kids came back into his mind. He remembered holding Rebecca for two days straight without putting her down. Even if he wanted to he couldn't, she would scream if he did. Rebecca was daddy's little girl. Trinity opened her eyes and cooed. "She likes you," Hayley commented.

"Tommy always had a way with kids," Kimberly stated.

"Yeah, I did didn't I?" He asked.

They nodded before Tommy handed the baby back to Hayley. Compared to other nights, this was the best night, because the Dark Wizard was gone for good.
