Chapter 2

It was a little a few weeks later, when the current rangers passed on their power to the new generation, Cassidy Chan, Ashley Hammond, TJ Johnson, and Carlos Valiente took the turbo powers. Tommy packed up to start the fall of UCLA with Kimberly. Adam, Rocky and Tanya joined them. Kimberly and Tommy walked into their loft apartment on the top floor. It had 2 bedrooms, and a partially room all on the top floor, kitchen, open living room and dining area. Balcony doors that led to a terrace open area.

"I can't believe your parents found this place," Kim said carrying a few boxes.

"I know. So close to campus." Tommy and Kimberly kissed.

Classes started at UCLA on August 27th. It was just August 22nd. Tommy would still be working at his uncle's racetrack to earn each cash every weekend. Kim's mother finally came to her senses and wanted to be apart of her daughter's life. She even agreed to pay for tuition bill completely, so Kim wouldn't have to worry amount money. Kim still had her endorsement money from '96 Olympics winnings. Tommy wanted an immediate wedding, but Kim wanted a special wedding with the works.

On September 22, 1997 in front of family and friend in Durham, North Carolina, the Duke Gardens made way for the most beautiful wedding ceremony in history. Tommy smiled as Kimberly walked down in a gorgeous, white with pink trim layered Vera Wang gown. Tommy's parents surprised them with fall break in Hawaii for their honeymoon. Trisha Rose Oliver was born February 24, 1998. The day she was brought home, Tommy stood over Trisha's crib. Kimberly came into the nursery.
"Hey."

"Hey."

"You know she's not gonna jump up and run away. Or change in a few hours." Tommy put his arms around Kim and kissed her head.

"I know, but watching her. She's soo tiny."

"5 pounds, 6 ounces, tiny?"

"Can I?"

"She's sleeping!" Kim pulled his hands back.

"She's my daughter! I should be able to wake her and hold her anytime I want."

"Tommy, she's sleeping. Books say you should never wake a sleeping baby."

"I know, you're right. I'm sorry."

"She need a feeding in a few hours. You can hold her all you want when she wakes up."

"Okay."

"Come to bed, doctor said I need to sleep when she's sleeping." Tommy reached down and kissed the baby's forehead, before being pulled away by Kimberly. She pulled him toward their bedroom and closed the door.

A few weeks later, Mrs. Oliver came by the loft to babysit little Trisha for the afternoon. Today, Kimberly was going back to classes.

"She loves being walked around," Kim said. "You know, while you feed her."

"Okay. Where's Tommy?"

"Left already, oh, she loves to be sung to and listens to Celine or Whitney while she sleeps."

"Kim, I know how to handle a baby." Mrs. Oliver laughed as Kim was still holding her baby. "Now, go."

"I know, I know, I just.." Mrs. Oliver took the newborn. Kimberly touched her daughter's face and chest.

"Go, you're going to be late."

"I've never left her before. Is it weird that I can't?"

"No. I did the same with Tommy. You've been in this house for 3 weeks with her. It's time you go back to class."

"Okay." She kissed the baby. "I love you my beautiful, beautiful babygirl. I love you, I love you. Mommy will be back soon." Mrs. Oliver smiled and walked her out. Trisha yawns in her grandmother's arms.

"We are going to have so much fun with Gama." Since the couple was searching for a nanny, Mrs. Oliver offered and took off work. Nearly 23 years of working, she deserved a break with her first granddaughter. Tommy got home around 5pm.

"Hey, Mom."

"Hey! Look what I have. Here's your little girl." Tommy put his keys up and bookbag down. He took the baby and kissed her.

"Was she good?"

"Of course! She loves her Gama!" Mrs. Oliver kissed the baby.

"Great."

"Well, I'm off. Tell Kim I said good luck. Traffic is gonna be hell to get back to Angel Grove."

"You should stay for dinner."

"Nah, your father will be worried if I don't get home until pass 8, You take care, okay." She kissed Tommy's cheek.

"Okay, thanks Mom."

"Just call me, anytime. I'm always here for you two."

"Thanks."

Kimberly came in just 20 minutes later.

"Hey!"

"Hey." She ran over to the basket. Tommy was making dinner with the baby asleep on the island in the basket.

"Whatcha making?"

"Uh, chicken parm with salad and vegetables."

"Sounds yummy." Kim was kissing Trisha's feet. "Did you change her?"

"Mom did. I guess she likes the yellow dress."

"She put her on the purple undies and booties, she soo cute." Kim kissed Trisha.

"I was thinking maybe we can take a night stroll with Trisha."

"I don't know, Tommy. She's still so tiny."

"She's over 3 weeks old. It's March 20th now." Kimberly looked up. "Come on, Beautiful. Fresh air."

"Okay." They kissed.

That night, Kim's arms around Tommy's waist as they walked around. He was pushing the stroller. It was 7pm, some stores were closing. Tommy saw Kim's eyes widen. She had a huge baby shower, getting everything and the sun. She didn't have a need for anything, but Kimberly smiled at the baby store.

"Come on!" They shopped until closing. Kimberly carried the 3 bags. They went home. Tommy was changing Trisha's diaper, as Kimberly put away some new clothes, bibs, diapers, shoes, toys and bathing clothes and towels.

"She's not even big enough for these." Tommy covered Trisha up. He adjusted the stuff animals around the room.

"So, when she does, we won't need to get them" Tommy shook his heads. "Oh this is too much." She held up the pink hooded towel with bunny ears.

"We already have 2 like that in white and yellow."

"Yellow is the ducky one, white is bear, this is bunny!"

"Should I expect this every baby?"

"Pretty much?" Kim placed the 2 stacks of diapers away in the bottom of the baby changer.

"Good. Wouldn't have it any other way, Mrs. Oliver." They kissed. "I love you."

"Say it again."

"I love you." They kissed. "I love you, I love you, I love you." He lifted her up and spun her around. She smiled. They kissed and slowly moved into their bedroom.
