Later on, with Tommy and Kimberly allowed to go home, Kimberly is sitting in the chair, Tommy besides her, as he explains how he had to battle his former ranger selves in order to fight for his life.
"I just want to say how much it means to me that you all were able to stick by me through all of this and handle yourselves with honor and grace."
"Yea, we're really proud of you guys," Kimberly said. "You should be too." Connor sniffs.
"Are you crying?"
"NO!" Connor said quickly to Ethan. "It's just really great to have you back, Dr. O." Everyone smiles. Tommy said goodbye to everyone. Their mothers finally leaving the house, but not without a little advise. Tommy's mother leaving her son with a warning.
"I know this whole superhero thing is important and you have this team to lead and mentor, but don't you forgot, you have a beautiful wife, 4 little girls and a baby on the way, don't go getting yourself killed. Your family should come before any Mesoevil guy."
"Mom, my family is the most important thing in my life. You of all people should know that already. I would give up my powers, these powers, without hesitation to keep them safe. But we will never be safe until Mesogog is gone. And only the Dino Thunder Rangers can do it."
"Good luck son. I'm soo proud of you!" Tommy smiled and hugged her. "I love you."
"Love you too."
Tommy came up from the lab. Kimberly was carrying Madison on her hip going into the kitchen.
"What's going on?"
"Trisha wants to watch movies."
"Disney night again!"
"Hush," Kimberly said handing Madison over to Tommy.
"Daddy, good now?"
"Daddy is great, sweetie." He kissed her cheek. "Daddy missed you." Mackenzie came running in crying.
"Mackenzie, baby, what's wrong?"
"Trisha hit me." Kimberly bent down and rubbed her head, while wiping her face from the tears she shed.
"I DID NOT!" Kimberly hugged her and lifted her into her arms after a few kisses.
"Trisha Rose Oliver, I will have your head!" Kim poured more popcorn into a bowl.
"Well, I don't want to watch 101 Dalmatians!"
"Tough, we are!"
"Awww...she always gets her way! Daddy!" Tommy took Mackenzie and carried the twins inside to the living room.
"Don't Daddy me, sit down." Tommy placed the girls on the couch as Trisha pouted and climbed into the loveseat. Her arms across her chest.
"You can pout all you want, be lucky I am not sending your butt upstairs for the night."
"At 8!"
"Yes, at 8!" Kimberly settled 2 bowls on the table. Trisha reached forward for some, but Kimberly pulled it back.
"Where is Sydney?"
"Oops!" Trisha jumped up and ran up the stairs. She was able to pick her baby sister from the crib and carried her downstairs.
"I told you to get her 10 minutes ago!"
"I forgot!" Kim loaded the 2 picked DVDs, playing the dog movie first. With the puppies on the ground under the coffee table, Kimberly took Sydney from Trisha and sat down. Tommy put his arm around Kimberly as she sat beside him. Trisha laid on Kim's lap with Sydney lying up against Kim's chest. Twins sharing Tommy's leg on the right side, he rubbed each of their heads before Tommy kissed Kim's head. They stared at each other as the movie started.
"I love you."
"Love you too." They kissed softly on the lips.
Many hours later, Tommy woke up in the middle of the early morning. He turned his head to find Kimberly peacefully asleep, Sydney asleep against her chest. Tommy looked down, 3 little heads on his chest sleeping peacefully as well. Tommy smiled. Trisha was the first to demand, not ask, to sleep in the bed. Twins following shortly. Kimberly just decided to make it a family affair out of it. Kimberly woke up. She smiled at Tommy.
"Hey," she whispered.
"Hey."
"Can you move?"
"Nah, don't want to wake the little devils up." Kim smiled. "I missed this."
"Sleeping in bed?"
"Sleeping with you, and our girls." Tommy reached over and rubbed her head. Kimberly reached over Trisha and they kissed.
"Me too. Having you in that suit, or invisible, wasn't nearly the same." They kissed again. "I love you."
"I love you too, Beautiful." They kissed much deeper, Kimberly holding Tommy's cheek. Sydney woke up, starting to cry. She sat up, crying.
"MOMMY!" Kimberly pulled away from Tommy.
"SHhh...baby," Kimberly picked her up and they got up, Sydney crying from a bad dream. Tommy patted Trisha's head, as she tried to wake up. Kimberly disappeared out the room. After a quick diaper change, Kim returned feeding Sydney a bottle. "I think she is teething." Kimberly laid down on the bed again. Sydney nearly back to sleep with the short rocking from the kitchen up the stairs.
"In the back?"
"Yea."
"Just like Trisha."
"I know." Kimberly kissed Sydney's forehead and laid her to her back to suck on her juice bottle. Tommy yawned and covered his girls up more before closing his eyes.
"Love you."
"I love you too," Kimberly said holding Sydney's head to her head as she went back to sleep.
Few days later, it was Thursday morning November 25th. Tommy woke up to sun shining through the windows. Kimberly asleep beside him. Her bare backside to his equally barefront. Tommy moved his hand that was holding her hand to her belly and smiled. It was Thanksgiving, his family and Kim's family coming here to have dinner. The house was going to be filled in just a few hours. Tommy pulled away and sat up. He slipped into some boxers and checked the clock.
"Just 8." As he stretched, Kim moaned and turned to her back.
"Tommy?"
"Hey, you." Tommy turned back, bent down and kissed her. "Just rest. I'm gonna get started."
"Nah, you are liable to burn the house down on our first Thanksigiving here."
"Excuse me, wife. I'm not the one who first thought that if you just crank the heat up to 500 degrees, the bird will cook faster." Tommy smiled. Their first Thanksgiving together, back in college a the loft, thoughKimwas extremely nausea all day Kimberly, being pregnant with Trisha, decided, actually had a fuss to make their dinner instead of dinner with the parents. And what a dinner was made. She caught the turkey on fire in the oven, burning the dressing, and roasted, bruntvegetables. Mash potatoes wouldn't thicken up, came out soupy, along with the pumpkin pie. All in all, a bad cooking experience. Tommy's parents found her crying in Tommy's arms as they came by and brought dinner over.
"Shut up," Kim said pouting. "Honest mistake."
"Honest my butt."
"You weren't better the next year."
"True, but I am a guy."
"You sexist little bi..." Tommy covered her mouth and stomach.
"Hey, don't you dare. My son can't hear such language at 8 in the morning."
"Son? It is too early to be calling our baby a boy. The doctors can't even tell if it is a he or she, so.." She blew a rasperberry at him. "Bite me." Kimberly got up and slipped on her robe. She put on one of his black shirts along with her sweatpants.
"Could you stay out of my closet for a change?"
"Blow me."
"My line, wife." Tommy slipped on some sweatpants and tee shirt. Kimberly wrapped her arms around his neck. Tommy lifted her up as they kissed. He carried her that way downstairs as they got started on the dinner.

Hours later
"MOMMY!" Mackenzie was running around from getting tickled by Kim's brother, Tim. Dinner was nearly done, as Tommy was setting up the third table for the children, there were about 8 running around the house now.
"TIM! Leave my little girls alone!"
"The Timickler monster is here! You hush Mommy," Tim said catching Mackenzie after letting go Madison. "When do I get to spend such time with my beautiful nieces!"
"True, but I am cooking here!"
"Ha!" Kim and Tommy's mother helping.
"The peas away from me," Kim demanded as Tommy's mother was putting them into a huge bowl. She smiled. Kim was a little moody this morning. Tommy came into the kitchen.
"Tables are set, want me to start bringing out these?"
"Sure." Kimberly groaned as Tommy passed her with the yams and peas. She stopped spooning out mash potatoes.
"Go, sit, you are not going to eat anything if you keep this up," Kim's mother said.
"I'm fine, just another whiff of peas and I might lose it!" Kim checked the biscuits. Kim's mother smiled. Dinner was finally set on the table, and the guests started to take their seats to begin their feast.
"Okay, okay," Tommy said hitting his glass. "Can I have everyone's attention?" The 2 main tables settled down. Everyone had their plates made first. "Thank you. Now, usually, I start the Thanksgiving toast, but this year, I want to hand it over to my wife." Kimberly smiled and stood up. "She has cooked this fantastic meal and it would be only fitting that she bless the food with her toast."
"Thanks for putting me on the spot!" The table laughed as she raised her water glass. "Okay. Wow, I can't believe this year is drawing to a close. It's been such a long time, since I've been surrounded by my entire family and friends. This has been a very interesting year. I mean, what a year!" Everyone laughed. "And yet, here we all are. Together. Where we belong. I'm truly grateful for my family to be gathered here. So, I would ask you all to raise your glasses. I toast to you, good friends and family. I am filled with such pride and honor to be apart of this hugefamily. Filled with such love and devotion." Tears formed in Kim's eyes as she paused. "Okay, I won't cry." Everyone smiled. Tommy took her hand and squeezed it. Kim shook her head. "I look forward to continuing our great lives all together. I love you all so much, I don't know where or what I would be without any of you. To my husband, my girls, my parents, all 4 of you, to my brother, gama, papa..uncles and aunts, cousins and little nieces and nephrews..friends..oh,to everyone, I say thank you. To our family." Kim raised her glass.
"To family." Everyone stood up and cheered to all.
"Okay. Now we say grace." They all took hands.
"O Lord, give us our daily bread.
Almighty God, let not Thy gifts lead us to sin.
While we enjoy our feast, let us also in charity remember
O give thanks unto the Lord
For he is good
For his mercy endures forever
In the name of the father and
Of Thy Holy Spirit, O Lord
Amen"
"Amen!" They all said and sat down. Kim sat down. Tommy reached over and they kissed.
"Beautiful." Kim smiled and held his face. They kissed again. Tommy turned to the table. "Now let's eat!" Everyone cheered and started digging in.
