Leaving Tommy

"I miss you already." Kimberly said, tears slipping down her cheeks as Tommy pulled her into his arms.

"Its ok Kim, its not forever." he said softly.

"Its ok to cry, I know you want to. I can feel your heart breaking." she whispered.

"It can't break if I don't let it."

"I love you so much Tommy."

Tommy held Kimberly tightly in his arms for a few minutes, fighting to keep his tears from falling as he hugged her.

"Sweetie, you need to get through security." Christine said after a couple minutes.

"She's right . . . . ." Tommy said as he loosened his arms around Kimberly. "You need to get going."

"I'm going to miss you so much!" Kimberly said seeing the tears in Tommy's eyes.

"You'll be back soon though."

"Its not het same though."

"Kim, come on. No more tears."

"I can't help it." she said as more tears fell down her face.

"You gotta try." Tommy said with a sniffle as he wiped away her tears, then placed a shaky kiss on her lips. "This isn't goodbye, ok? Just a see you later."

" . . . . . Yeah . . . . ." she agreed, sniffling again. Tommy closed his eyes as he kissed her forehead. "Tommy, I can't do this without you."

"Yes you can. You are the strongest person I know. I have faith in you Kim. You can do this!"

"No, I can't. I need you with me."

"No you don't . . . . . We're just no good at saying goodbye." he told her.

"Why don't we all walk Kimberly to security." Daniel suggested, picking up her bags.

"Come on Kim, its time to go . . ." Jason said softly.

"Ok . . . . ." she agreed, reluctantly taking Tommy's hand.

"Try to think positive." Trini encouraged her as everyone headed through the airport. When they got to the security check line, everyone gave Kimberly one last hug, then stood back as she said goodbye to Tommy.

"Promise you'll call me as soon as you get there!"

"I promise. But you have to promise to not freak out when the plane is late getting in. No online flight checking."

"I love you Kimberly."

"This is so hard!" she said hugging him again.

"I know . . . But you can do this. Come on . . ." Tommy said pulling away and giving Kimberly her duffle bag and the handle to her rolling suitcase. "I love you Kim."

"I love you too." she said, wrapping her arms around Tommy again as fresh tears ran down her face.

"Ma'am, are you ready?" a security official asked.

"Yes she is . . ." Tommy said, reluctantly letting go. "I love you Baby."

"Bye Tommy . . . ." she said as he kissed her one last time.

"I need your ticket and passport please?" the official asked.

"Ok . . . . ." Kimberly agreed, digging them out of her bag, and handing them over.

"Hey, remember our deal . . ." Tommy said as Kimberly started to step away. "I'll be here when you get home." Kimberly nodded and smiled as Tommy kissed her hand, then let go and stepped back to watch her go.

"Here you go Miss. Hart." the official said, handing back her ticket and passport.

"Thanks . . ." Kimberly said softly, then looked at Tommy once more before turning to head through security. Kimberly took a deep breath as she forced herself to move forward , one foot in front of the other, step by step. Kimberly stopped for a minute, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as more tears flowed down her face.

"Who am I kidding . . ." a voice said from behind her. "Kimberly, wait . . . . ." Kimberly spun around and fell into Tommy's arms as tears rushed down both their faces. Kimberly's heart completely broke as she held tightly to Tommy. "Kimberly, I need to do something . . . . . . . . ." he said as he began to let go of her. "I was going to wait until Christmas for this but I just can't . . . . . I don't' have the ring with me, but . . . . ." Tommy's voice trailed off as he knelt down on one knee, and gazed up into Kimberly's eyes as more tears ran down their faces.

"Tommy . . . . ." AnneMarie said softly, holding her hand out toward him. "Its right here. Nana thought you might need it."

"Thanks . . . . ." he said as he carefully took the box from Annemarie, and opened it so Kimberly could see the beautiful engagement ring inside. Tommy took a deep breath, before speaking. "Kimberly Anne Hart . . . . .I love you more than anything . . . . . And . . . . . . . ." tears ran down Tommy's face as he stumbled for the right words to say. "You . . . . . You . . . . . I would . . . . . Kimberly . . . . . . . . . . . Will you marry me?" Kimberly cried even harder as she gazed at Tommy, trying to force a smile onto her face. Kimberly opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. All she could do was cry. "Kim . . . . . Sweetie, I need an answer . . . . ." Kimberly sniffled and nodded her head as she wiped at her tears with one hand.

"Yes . . . . ." she said in a cracking voice. "Yes, I'll marry you . . . . ." Tommy's smile brightened as he stood up, slid the ring onto Kimberly's finger, moving the promise ring to her other hand, then pulled her into the most passionate of kisses. They both cried together, as everyone around them wiped at their own tears.

"Ok, Sweetie . . . . ." Tommy started as he finally pulled away. "You need to go . . . I don't want you to miss your flight."

"I'll miss you." Kimberly said with a sniffle.

"I know." Tommy said wiping at his own tears, then her's. "I love you."

"I love you too." she said kissing him, then reluctantly pulling away.

"Have a good trip Baby. I'll see you when you get home."

"Congratulations Kim." Trini said smiling as she handed Kimberly her luggage.

"Thank you! Everybody, thank you." Everyone just smiled as Kimberly sniffled and turned back to Tommy.

"I love you baby. I'll see you soon." he said kissing Kimberly one last time before taking a step back and watching her walk through security, and head for her plane.
