It was now, February 24th, Trisha's 7th birthday. Tommy and Kimberly decided to let the professionals handle the party as they had a little tit city built in the park for the celebration. Kimberly had made the plans since February started. Not wanting to deal with cooking, only getting presents. They got home a little bit after sunset. Mackenzie was playing with her new toy. Sydney was banging with her toys. Kimberly was putting away some clothes, when Tommy came in carrying the huge bears and dolls inside from the car. Kimberly rubbed her belly another round of Braxton-Hicks today. Kimberly sat on Trisha's bed. Tommy saw that.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Can you just..."
"Sure." She stood up and walked out.
"Mommy, okay?" Trisha asked.
"Yea. Did you have a fun birthday?" Trisha nodded.
"Will you sleep in your room tonight?" Trisha nodded. "Alone?"
"But.."
"Please, Daddy needs to stay with Mommy tonight alone."
"Why?"
"Mommy needs Daddy tonight. Daddy wants Mommy to feel better."
"Okay. But will you come if I call?"
"Of course." Tommy kissed her head. "Happy birthday, princess."
"Thanks Daddy." They hugged.
"Give Daddy a kiss." Trisha kiss him quickly. "That's not a kiss!"
"Daddy! NO!" Tommy started tickling her and putting slopping kisses all over her. Madison came in to see what was all the screaming about. Tommy grabbed her and did the same. Mackenzie got caught too. Sydney, the only sane one, stayed in her bed at first, but then climbed down. Tommy laid in a pile his girls over him, trying to tickle him, as he got them. Tommy grabbed Sydney and played with her as well. Tommy put his girls to bed. He closed the bedroom door behind him. Kimberly was in bed on her side. She hasn't slept on her back for almost 3 months. It wasn't good for the baby, but more important, she hated it. She hated looking down and slowly seeing her feet disappear. Tommy undid his shoes and was about to sling them into the closet.
"You know better." Tommy stopped right before he was about to release them. He walked over to the closet and put them away. He came out from their bathroom in just some boxers. Tommy tosses his pants and shirt across the basket. "You know better."
"How do you do that?" Tommy said putting them down into the basket. Kimberly was laying on her side facing away from him. She laughed.
"I am your wife, I know you." Tommy slipped on his shirt and pants. He got into bed behind him. Kimberly turned over and laid to his chest. They kissed.
Mesogog decides to take Dr. Mercer's bad dreams and inflict the same on the rangers. Elsa monitors all the rangers. She was most disgusted to find the happy couple smiling and kissing. Tommy put his arm around Kimberly as they went to sleep. Tommy started having a nightmare about dealing with a monster and Kimberly being in labor in the middle of the battle.
With the battle between the Black Ranger and Plant monster. Kimberly sat there frightened and slight contractions. With every contraction, the ground shook because of the battle. She felt as if she was on the verge of the baby coming. Kimberly rolled to her side in pain.
"No," she whispered holding her stomach. 'I can't lose you, I can't lose my son!' she thought, as Tommy tried to deal with the monster. How he was in the middle of battle boggled him.
"Kim, hang on!"
"Is the Black Ranger worried about his wife," the monster taunted. Kimberly was backing away from the battle. Tommy was knocked backward, as the monster went to Kimberly. "Mesogog will make your son a great addition to our forces."
"Never," Kim said. She held her stomach. "OW!"
"Does it hurt? Do you want your Black Ranger? I can help you. Take all the pain away. Just ask me." Kimberly arched her back and screamed. "Your son will destroy the world!"
"Stay away from my wife and our son!" Tommy appeared and attacked the monster. Tommy defeats the monster.
Tommy sat up quickly.
"Whoa, Tommy, what's wrong?" Kim sat up beside him.
"I shouldn't have had that 2nd hot dog with everything on." Kim smiled. They kissed. Tommy quickly rubs her belly and head. "You okay? The baby is fine? Are you okay?"
"Yea. Yes."
"No contractions right?"
"No, baby, what's wrong?" Kim touched his face as she giggled.
"Something... that dream was too real." She kissed him.
"It was just dream, now go to sleep." Tommy smiled and kissed her again.
Elsa moved on to Kira, as Tommy and Kimberly hugged each other and laid back down. Elsa attacks the other rangers, Connor had a little probably but was able to come out of it once Kira and Ethan helped him.
Next morning, they all stopped by the Cyberspace. Connor every excited about the weekend being here. On the couch, they found Trent snoozing. They all laughed at him.

Tommy sat in his chair, holding Sydney, she had a fever all day and Kimberly was getting worried more now. Kimberly had to keep the girls away from in order to keep whatever Sydney had contained, though she knew that would be a little impossible as they continued to run around the house, breathing on Sydney, letting her sneeze and cough on them as well. It had been a few days now dealing with Sydney's cold. Kimberly came downstairs after putting Trisha to bed. It was almost 9 pm.
"How is she?" Tommy rubbed Sydney's back and head.
"Still hot."
"Maybe we should try another bath or..."
"She'll be fine, Beautiful, it's just a cold."
"Trisha or the twins never got colds or fevers like this." Kimberly hated her children getting sick, what parent would. Tommy knew that. She always got very concerned, almost obsessed with getting them well fast. It was as if every time, her heart breaks to see her children sick, Tommy knew it and felt the same. The helplessness of a parent when their child is ill is very torturest.
"It's going to be okay." Tommy knew he had to stay calm for Kim's sakes. Kim kissed Sydney's head. Tommy had her asleep against his chest, in just a diaper with a small blanket around her. Tommy made Kim go to bed. She had Sydney all day, since she first noticed the fever and having that on her mind wasn't good for her or the baby. Little Nathaniel (Or James) needed Mommy calm, if not, he would express that dislike with rounds of punches and kicks. Kim could always tell when she was getting a little too excited or worried, her son would give her his little warnings.
Tommy carried Sydney around the house later that night, she was fussing, unwilling to go to bed again.
"God, your still burning up." Tommy shook her as she moved her head and refused her juice bottle. "Please, Sydney!"
"NO!" She yelled and started crying, Trisha came out her bedroom, rubbing her eyes.
"Daddy?"
"Princess go back to bed." Tommy was trying to get Sydney to stop crying so the rest of the house wouldn't wake up.
"What's wrong with Sydney?"
"She's not feeling good."
"Can I help?"
"No, just go to bed, princess."
"Can I go sleep with Mommy?"
"Go." Tommy patted her head as she passed. Tommy closed the bedroom door as Kim woke up and helped Trisha get under the covers with her. Tommy went to the phone. He dialed the one person he knew he could help.
"Hello?"
"Mom, it's me."
"Tommy? It's 1 in the morning! What's wrong? Is everything okay? Is the baby coming? Is Kim..."
"Mom, it's okay! It's okay! It's Sydney."
"Sydney! Oh! Kim told me little Syd was running a high fever. Have you tried a bath?"
"Kim did that already. She got medicine from the doctor but still no change, Mom. It's been 2 days, what can we..what can I do?"
"Tommy, son, sometimes, these things happen. You got many colds when you were baby and...your father and I just had to wait it out. Don't worry, Sydney will get better. She will. Try another bathe, and her medicine with some juiceand just hold her close."
"Thanks, Mom."
"And son..."
"Yea, Mom."
"Don't ever call me at 1 in the morning and scare me to death like this." Tommy laughed.
"Sorry. Of course, Mom. Goodnight."
"Night, son. I'll come by in the morning with a special remedy if nothing has changed."
"Okay. Bye."
"Bye, son. I love you."
"Love you too, Mom.. Bye." Tommy clicked off his phone. He looked down at Sydney. "How about a bathe?" He kissed her head.
Tommy ran some water in the sink and settled Sydney in it. Sydney cried at first, but then allowed the water to soothe and cool her down. Tommy dressed her into a nightgown and went to the sofa chair. He wrapped them in a blanket tightly. Tommy and Sydney fell asleep in that chair. Kimberly woke up the next morning and felt the bed.
"Tommy?" Trisha moaned. Kimberly got up and slipped on her robe. The sight of Tommy asleep in the chair with Sydney touched her heart. Kim went over to them. She touched Sydney's head and she smiled. Tommy woke up.
"Hey."
"Morning," Kim said. "You did it."
"What?"
"Her fever is gone." Tommy placed his chin to her head. It was no longer warm. "You did it."
"No, we did it." Kimberly bent down and kissed him on the lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Just a few more chapters to go people!
