Summary: This may be out of order in whatever way, but hey, its my story, I get to decide how it goes. ;-) Sorry if it takes a while for me to get it posted, but I've been writing it in whatever time I get between classes and stuff and I'm laptop less so its all scribbled down on paper and I've actually gotta find time to type it all up. But hopefully I'll find enough time somewhere. =) Happy Reading!

Secrets Revealed
1 Week Later - Royal Hilton Hotel, New York City, New York
Tommy let AnneMarie down the 5th floor hall to room 513 and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Kimberly's voice called from inside, where she was on the phone. Tommy slowly opened the door and followed AnneMarie inside the elegant room. "I'm on the phone, but I'll be out in a minute. Make yourselves at home." Kimberly said, popping her head around a door.
"I'll be right back . . ." Tommy said softly as he set their luggage down, then headed toward where Kimberly was on the phone.
"Yes . . . . . Yes . . . . . Yes, it's all here and ready to go . . . . . I've got it all under control . . . . . Yes . . . . . Oh its no problem at all . . . . ." Kimberly said with a bright smile as Tommy stepped up behind her, sliding his arms around Kimberly as he gently kissed her cheek. "Hi Tommy . . ." she whispered. "Yes . . . .. Yes . . . . . It's ready! Yes . . . . . I've got a run through scheduled at 7, with hair and makeup a 5. I'm all ready to go! . . . . .Yes, that's perfect! . . . Yes . . . Yes . . .Excellent! I will see you tomorrow then! . . . Yes, thank you! . . . Uh huh . . .Bye." Kimberly smiled brightly as she hung up the phone and turned to face Tommy.
"Hey Beautiful!" Tommy said cheerfully as he leaned in to kiss her.
"Hi Baby! Welcome to New York!" she said happily as Tommy pulled her into a heated kiss.
"Man I've missed you!" Tommy said when they finally pulled apart.
"I missed you too . . ." Kimberly said smiling brightly. "How was your flight?"
"It was good! AnneMarie and I both slept through most of it."
"Good! I'm glad you got some rest."
"What time did you get in?"
"Actually, I got in last night. I ended up getting an earlier flight, which actually worked out really well. I've sort of adjusted to the time change."
"Good! That's great Kim!"
"Yeah . . .I needed the rest." she said smiling as she gazed at Tommy."
"Kim, you look so beautiful!" Tommy said as he tucked a lose strand of hair behind her ear.
"You think so?"
"You look different somehow . . . . . But I can't seem to figure out how."
"Different how?" Kimberly asked curiously.
"I don't know . . . . . I just . . . . ." Kimberly smiled as she folded her arms across her chest. "You're just so beautiful . . . . ."
"Thank you Sweetie! Check this out, I've got a surprise for you . . ."
"No presents until next week."
"Actually, you have to get this one early . . . You deserve it . . ."
"Kimberly . . . . ."
"Just look . . .Tell me what you see . . . . ." she said as she pulled up the bottom part of her sweater.
"What am I looking for?" Tommy asked confused.
"Tommy . . . . . Give me your hand . . . . ." she said reaching for his hand. She gently placed it on her stomach and moved it slowly up toward her chest, then back down.
"Honey . . . . . I'm confused . . . . ." he said softly.
"Do you feel that?"
"Feel what?"
"You don't feel that?" Kimberly asked, her eyes searching Tommy's.
"What am I supposed to feel?" he asked as Kimberly let go of his hand, and let her sweater fall back into place.
"Tommy . . . . . Look . . . . ." she said smoothing her sweater tight over her chest, revealing a slight bulge in her stomach area. Tommy stared at her for a moment, before his eyes met her's, searching for answers. " . . . . . I'm pregnant . . . . ." Kimberly said softly.
" . . . . . You're . . . . .You're serious? . . . . ." Tommy asked, his throat suddenly dry.
"I found out a few weeks ago . . . I wanted to tell you, but I just couldn't do it over the phone. I'm so sorry!"
"But how? . . . . ."
"I'm almost 5 months . . . . . Remember when we talked about wanting a bay? . . . . . I was thinking I may be pregnant then, but kept telling myself no, I'm being silly. I just couldn't remember the last day I got my period because I was so happy being with you again . . . . ."
"I don't get it . . . . ."
"I didn't either at first . . . . . But then I remembered flying to Kentucky for the Springfield Classics in July . . . . We made love every night . . . . .And all day the last day . . . . That had to have been it Tommy . . . . . Because I didn't see you again until I moved home again. And then we waited 2 weeks to make love again . . . . It makes sense . . . . . I was just too stupid to see it . . . . . I finally went to the doctor when I realized my clothes were getting to small, and I couldn't understand why . . . . . . . . . But now I know . . . . . And I'm really happy, and I want you to be happy too . . . . ."
" . . . . . You're really pregnant? . . . . ." Tommy asked in an unsure voice. Kimberly smiled and slowly nodded her head as Tommy gently placed his hand on her stomach again.
"You're gonna be a Daddy . . . . ."
"Wow . . . . ." Tommy smiled as Kimberly placed her hands over his. " . . . I'm really gonna be a Daddy? . . . . ."
"You're gonna be the best Daddy!" Kimberly said proudly. "Merry Christmas Tommy!" Tommy just smiled and pulled Kimberly into a hug.
"I love you so much!"
"I love you too Tommy!"
"I feel like I should do something . . . . ." Tommy said as he hugged Kimberly.
"Like what?"
"I don't know . . . ."
"We should go tell AnneMarie. She's going to notice."
"You hardly even show."
"Yeah right! Its obvious! And you might want to tell our parents."
"Why?"
"Tommy!"
"It can be their Christmas present . . . They'll be happy, and we won't even have to buy them anything!"
"Tommy!!!"
"What?"
"Geez! You've gotta tell them before my Mom does!"
"Fine . . . For Christmas."
"Ok. But you still have to buy them something."
"You've got yourself a deal!"
"Good! Now let's go tell AnneMarie."
"Do we have to?"
"Yes! Come on." Kimberly said dragging him out of the room. "Hey AnneMarie!"
"Hey Kim! Nice hotel!"
"Thank you! I like it too. Your bed is behind that door over there. I figured you would like your own room."
"Awesome! Thank you!"
"You're welcome! Right now, you're free to do whatever you want. But we have to be out of here by 4 to have your hair and makeup done at 5, then get you to the dress rehearsal by 7."
"So what time is it right now?"
"11:30. So you've got a while."
"Are you hungry?" Tommy asked.
"A little. But I'm ok."
"You want some lunch?"
"You mean breakfast? Its only 8:30 at home."
"Tommy , hush. We'll go find food in a little while . . ." Kimberly told him. "Hey AnneMarie, guess what!"
"What?" she asked as Tommy wrapped his arms around Kimberly, and kissed he top of her head.
"You're not going to believe it!"
"Oh really?" she said looking from Kimberly, to her brother, then back to Kimberly. "Come on, I have Tommy for a brother. He was a Power Ranger during high school! What's not to believe?!?"
"What a minute . . . How did you know about that?"
"OOPS!!!" AnneMarie said, suddenly slapping her hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry Tommy! I'm so sorry! I thought she knew?"
"Its ok AnneMarie. I've known all along. I guess your charming brother didn't tell you the whole story."
"She only knows about me. I didn't think she needed to know the rest." Tommy told her.
"Oh . . . . . Well . . . . . I guess that's not important anyway . . . . . I was just wondering how AnneMarie knew."
"I got kidnaped in front of her . . . Well, almost . . ."
"Tommy beat up those clay heads in front of me."
" . . . Goldar told her . . ." Tommy explained.
"Oh . . . . . Interesting . . . . . Anyway! Enough of that! Guess what!"
"You're getting married for Christmas?"
"Actually no . . . But I bet Tommy would like that . . ."
"Nah, that huge wedding actually sounds pretty fun."
"Good! I'm glad you agree! But again, Anyway! Guess what AnneMarie!" Kimberly said excitedly.
"I don't know. What?"
"You're about to be an aunt!"
"You're serious?"
"May Third!"
"Really?"
"You wanna see?" Tommy asked.
"I already do! That's so cool!!!"
"Yeah it is!"
"Congratulations Auntie AnneMarie!" Kimberly said proudly.
"Me? What about you?"
"What about me?"
"You're the one having the baby!"
"Yes I am! And I'm excited about it too!"
"Does Nana know?"
"No. You're the only one other than my Mom. Tommy wants to tell them for Christmas."
"Cool! What about David?"
"Christmas." Tommy answered.
"Can I ask you something?" AnneMarie asked.
"Anything." Kimberly answered.
"Can we get some food now? I haven't eaten since dinner last night."
"Sure! Grab your coat. I saw a cool little café down the street."
"AnneMarie, why don't you take your suitcase into your room and change if you want to. I'm going to go splash some cold water on my face." Tommy told her.
"You have your own bathroom in there too." Kimberly added. "I thought it might be useful."
"Cool! I'll be back in a few minuets then." AnneMarie said cheerfully, as she grabbed her things and left the room.
"So . . . . ." Tommy started as Kimberly turned to face him.
"You're not mad at me, are you?"
"For what?"
"For not telling you as soon as I found out."
"No . . . . . I wish you had, but it would have been hard knowing I couldn't be with you."
"That's what I thought too. I didn't want to deal with the stress of not having you around, and knowing you wanted to . . ." she said softly as Tommy looked down at her stomach. "But the good news is that if this show goes well, I'll have a shot at moving to the LA office. As it is, I should b transferred to New York by Valentine's Day."
"That's great! Congratulations Honey!"
"But . . . . .I really want to move back home. I want to start a life with you . . ."
"As good as that sounds, you can't just walk out on your career. I can't let you."
"This isn't important to me anymore. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks now . . .All that matters to me, is you and the baby. I'm ready to walk away. And I know I'll never regret it."
"No . . . There is no way I am going to let you walk out on this one. I already let you run away from Paris, after you walked out on gymnastics. I can't let you keep on giving up your life for me."
"Not for you. Its for us!"
"I don't care. There's no way!"
"Tommy . . ."
"No!"
"You guys ready?" AnneMarie asked, walking back into the room. "I'm starving!"
"Yeah . . ." Tommy said, still looking at Kimberly. "Let's go eat."
