The Flight Home and Talking to Tara
Kim and Ron get to the Airport in time for their flight and board. As they fly for seven hours toward Colorado, they think about Jesse's message and hope they get to Norman in time before he does something really rash. Ron looks over at Kim and sees tears in her eyes.
He then takes her hand into his and says, "I'm sorry about this, KP. When it's over, let's go back to Hawaii and finish what we started out to do." Kim looks at him, smiles and pats his hand.
She then says, "It's not about that, Ron. I was just thinking about Norman and how hurt he was when Jesse died. Meeting Mrs. Renton was the greatest thing that had happened to him in such a long time. I only hope we can get to him in time to support him and possibly save him."
She leans over and adds, "When we do go back, let's have our own gear. At least it'll be properly maintained. I still can't believe they missed that juncture on the hose connecting it with the tank." Ron nods with her assessment, knowing just how close he came to losing his wife to drowning.
He smiles and kisses her, saying, "I love you, KP. I'll always be around if you need me to be a diving buddy for you." Kim laughs at that, knowing exactly what he had meant by what he just said.
She then kisses him back, saying, "You'll always be my hero, whether it's on a mission or underwater, Ron. I love you so much." She embraces him as far as her seat would allow, he returning the embrace and they smile at one another. They stay that way for the remainder of the flight.
When they land in Middleton, they gather their bags and summon an Airport shuttle to take them to Ron's pick-up. When they get there, they see the pick-up is right where it should be. They then load their bags into the bed and head for the Possible residence to check on the triplets.
When they get there, they see the tweebs with Rufus jumping up and down excitedly. Kim then chuckles as she exits the pick-up and goes over to the tweebs. She then asks, "What's going on, guys?"
Jim says, "It's Tara."
Tim carries on, "She had her baby."
They both say, "It's a boy."
She then sees Rufus with the signal in his eyes. She nods and says, "We're going to go see Tara now. Let's go, Ron." She gets back into the pick-up and Ron drives them to the Hospital.
When they get there, they exit the pick-up and Ron starts his limp, only with a brisker pace to keep up with Kim. When they get to the Maternity Ward, they ask for Tara's room number and they head for it. They see Tara with Felix, smiling and discussing their wedding plans with him, making sure they are on the same page.
Ron knocks on the door and says, "Hello, new parents. We're home." Tara looks up and smiles. She then points over to the side of the room and giggles.
Kim looks and she sees Jane holding a bottle for the baby. Kim smiles at the sight and nods. She then says, "He's beautiful, Tara. The tweebs told me it's a boy. There is something else on your mind. What is it?"
Tara frowns and says, "I'll let Mrs. Renton tell you. It's for her." Jane looks up with tears in her eyes and smiles at Kim. She nods for Kim to come closer and to take a seat.
She then says, "I understand you can contact Street Hawk. It seems they have a mutual friend." She winks when she says it. She then goes on. "Norman Tuttle has gone on the warpath to avenge the death of a friend of his from long ago. I'd like Street Hawk to see about making sure he comes home alive. I know it's a lot to ask, and even if Norman doesn't, I'd just like for an attempt to be made for Norman's survival."
Kim nods and says, "I'll get on it, Mrs. Renton. Do you want to meet him here or somewhere else?"
Jane replies, "Have him meet me at my house, please. I'll be there in one hour. Here's the address, though I think he already knows where it is." She then has a gentle laugh, being careful not to disturb the newborn. Kim nods and smiles at Jane holding the little boy. She and Ron then head out of the room and go to Command Center, hoping to find Norman there.
