Chapter 37

Maria shook her head at her husband. Mr. Hart went back to his paper.

"The nerve of that boy!"

"He is right."

"Excuse me?"

"We are going at 3."

"I'll be damn if I..."

"Oh would you just give it up! It's time you shut up and swallow your damn pride. That is your daughter up there crying her eyes out! Your only daughter, your babygirl! If I had a daughter, I would never do this to her! Tommy is right. We are a family and it's time we started being one."

Kimberly was about to go into the bedroom, when she felt someone behind her. She hugged him.

"I screwed up everything, Tommy."

"Yea, you tend to that."

"Tim?" Kimberly looked up. "Where's..I thought you were Tommy."

"I think he is giving Dad a piece of his mind."

"What?"

"Yea." Kim wiped her face.

"You don't think I am making a colossal mistake, right?"

"Oh yes. You are 18! I'm 22 and no where near marriage! I mean, I love you baby sis, but married before me, just isn't right." Kim laughed with him.

"Stop kidding around. Tell me the truth."

"I did! I agree with Mom and Dad!"

"God, why does my family not trust me! Why do you all hate me! Tommy's parents supported us! Hell, they helped pay for half of it!" Tim hugged her.

"Just because I said I agree with them, doesn' t mean I hate you. We don't hate you! I know you little sis, remember. This maybe be a mistake...hush..but it's your choice, your decision to make. This is your life, squirt. No matter what Mom, Dad, or I say, you are the one that has to live with it, not us."

"You don't hate me?"

"Never. I trust you and I trust Tommy, though he whacked me pretty hard." Tim held her face. "I know love, Kim. I may have never experience it with someone, I see it. I see it in you and I see it in Tommy. The way he looks at you, makes you smile. That's love. You may be 18, but you have lived. You are smarter than any woman I have ever met, besides Mom and Maria, of course. You are more mature than me!" He kissed her forehead. "I won't lose you because of this and I know Dad feels the same, he might not want to show it, but he does. You are two are soo much a lot, that's why you two are fighting like this. He'll come around."

"Yea right." Tim wiped her face.

"I'll make him."

"Me too," Tommy said. Kim smiled.

"Thank you. I love you, Tim."

"I love you too, squirt." They hugged. Tommy came over. Kimberly turned and hugged him.

3:15 pm

Kimberly stood looking at herself in the mirror.

"Oh, I look ugly! I don't want to go!" Tommy finished buttoning his shirt.

"Beautiful, nothing about you is ugly!" He came up behind her and rubbed her stomach, as he kissed her neck. Dressed in pink cropped shrug, pink halter dress and white knee-high shearling boots.

"You think I should change my boots? Or my stockings from white to black?"

"NO! White is fine!" Tommy didn't want another sessions with ring around Kim's dresses, skirts, and tops. "You look great, Kim."

"I just want my Dad there." She turned and hugged him.

"Hey, none of that! This is our first New Year's Mrs. Oliver, let's make the best of it. I brought you something."

"A present!" Tommy kissed her.

"Yes, a present for my wife." He went under the bed and pulled out a bag. Kim gasped at the new hat, scarf, gloves set Tommy brought her, it was white with pink snowflakes.

"So soft!" She kissed him. "Thank you, they go great with my dress."

"I know, see, that little fashion gene is passing on." She smiled. Kimberly packed her purse with the camera and films. Tommy had the camcorder open since the moment Kim stepped from the bathroom. Kim pushed him away and slammed the bathroom door to him. Tommy laughed as he put the camcorder back on Kimberly.

"Oh, not that again! Didn't you get enough at the wedding!"

"Come on, the camera loves you! Give me some loving!" Kim did a pose before putting on her scarf. "Dance for me baby!" Kim did. She pulled Tommy to her and they kissed, Tommy getting all of that on camera as well. They walked out their room. Kimberly stopped mid-step on the stairs.

"Daddy?"

"You said 3, do you want to have a horrible sight of the ball!" Kim ran down the stairs and hugged him. Mr. Hart smiled and hugged her tightly back. "We are already late, so come on!" Kim turned to Tommy, he was still filming. Kim pushed the camera away.

"What?"

"What did you do, what did you say to him?"

"Nothing special, just what was needed. Hey, hey, don't care. Do you want raccoon eyes the whole night?"

"It's waterproof mascara."

"It was nothing special."

"You are special and I love you so much for it." Tommy smiled. Kim cupped his face and kissed him.

"We have to save those kisses for later, wife," Tommy whispered.

"Oh, I'll have many more of those left for tonight and into the morning." Tommy groaned. He bit her chin, causing Kim to giggle.

"Married people, let's go!" Tim yelled at the door. His arms around his date, Julie. Tommy put his arm around Kimberly and lifted his camera.

11:55 pm

Tim quietly started handing out tiny Champagne bottles.

"Now, normally, you two shouldn't be drinking this stuff, being babies in all," Tim said. Kimberly shoved him, he knew they had been drinking Champagne since they were little and he knew that. Kim snatched the 2 bottles from him as Tim taunted her.

"Oh, shut up!"

"You're welcome." The countdown started.

' 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Tommy held Kim's face as they kissed.

"Happy New Year, Tommy."

"Happy New Year, Beautiful. To many, many more, wife."

"Many." They cheered their bottles and drank the rest. Kimberly turned to the rest. They all exchanged hugs and kisses. Tommy held out his hand for Mr. Hart to shake.

After a tense moment, Mr. Hart took his hand

"Welcome to the family."

"Excuse me, sir."

"You were right. I may not be happy about this, that you married my babygirl, but I can see, you make her happy and that makes me happy. If you continue to always do that, I foresee no problems between us."

"Oh, sir, my life from now on, is making sure your daughter, my wife is happy. " Mr. Hart nodded. Kimberly came over with the camera. She was filming the exchange.

"Thank you, Daddy. I love you."

"I love you too, princess." They hugged. Kimberly went to Tommy and hugged him. They sung the famous New Year's song with many kisses in between.

"Okay, time for bed," Mr. Hart said.

"Awww...Daddy, it's barely 12:10!"

"Come on, Dad. Just a little longer, besides, there are parties to hit."

"You young ones go, old folks need their sleep."

"Okay, your lost, see you later." Kim followed her brother.

Passion nightclub was getting packed. Tim and Julie got in, but Kimberly and Tommy were stopped at the doorway.

"Under 21, don't even think about it."

"Oh, come on!"

"Tim!"

"No." Tim went back.

"Hey, man, please. This is my baby sister, her first time in the city! She just got married!" Kim held up her left hand with a hopeful smile. "I wanted to give them a nice time out in the Big Bad City."

"No drinking, or I kick all 4 of you out and send you to the police!"

"Deal. Thanks, man!" Tim slipped him a 20 bill. Kim and Tommy went inside first.

"TIM! I have been to the city before!"

"Yea, but never this club!" With the music blasting, Kim gasped, no clubs in LA could ever compare to a night on the town in New York City.

Tommy and Kimberly spend hours on the dance floor, loving the closeness, the sweet kisses here and there.

"I love you."

"I love you too," Kim said. They kissed. Tim and Julie came over.

"Hey, buddy, my sister need to breath you know." Tommy pulled away. Kim's face went to Tommy's chest. "That had to be a Guinness record, 6 minutes without air."

"Shut up!" Kim shoved him away. "I need water." Tommy took her hand as she led him to the bar. "2 waters!"

"Those 2 are so cute," Julie said. "I can't believe they got married and your father didn't kill him!"

"Oh, he tried!" Julie hugged him.

"I can't wait to be married." Tim coughed.

"Really!"

"And I am not saying to you."

"Oh, really!" Julie laughed and pushed him away. Tim hugged her. They kissed.

4 am

"I'm ready to go, Tim."

"It's not even day break! Come on, babe, you can last out a little longer. Look at those 2." Kimberly and Tommy were on the dance floor, slow dancing in each other's arms. "If they can last, so can we." There were only 5 couples left, when a few hours ago, you couldn't move.

"I don't care, let's go!"

"Fine." Tommy looked up from kissing Kim's shoulder.

"We are heading home, want to share a cab?"

"Uh, sure," Kim said. "I'm pretty tired, aren't you?" Tommy nodded.

They got a cab, Tim and Julie got dropped off first. Kimberly and Tommy kissed the entire way into the house.

"I thought you said you were tired?"

"I was tired from dancing. I want to dance another way." She pulled Tommy by his coat and scarf into their bedroom. He closed the door behind him. She pushed him to the bed.

"What do you have in mind, wife?"

"This." She held his face and kissed him. She pulled his hat and scarf off and tossed it behind her. Tommy pulled his gloves off and pulled down into his lap as they still kissed. Kim pulled her scarf, gloves, hat, and coat off, dropping it to the ground behind her. She pushed his coat off his shoulders and ripped his shirt off, sending buttons everywhere.

"You brought that shirt!"

"I'll get you another one." She started kissing his chest. Tommy slowly fell to the bed. Kim kissed his chin, neck and chest. She came back up to his lips. Tommy pulled her shrug off as they kissed, so he could touch her better. Kim got off him to remove his boots, pants, and boxers. Tommy laid on the bed, his legs, partially hanging over, completely naked. Tommy raised his head to see Kimberly smiling.

"You have too much on," Tommy said. Kim pulled her dress up and shoved her stockings down. She tossed her white lacey tanga at him. Tommy pulled it from his face. Kimberly rubbed up Tommy's legs as she slid on bed. He moaned as his head fell to the bed. He took handfuls of blanket, as Kimberly brought him to the edge, only to pull back. Tommy groaned in frustration each time. Kim came up and straddled his waist. When he went to touch her, she pushed his hands away and pinned them above his head. She continued to torture him and bring so close only to move into another position. His groans of frustration only drove her delight and banter. Tommy ripped at her dress to be taken off. Kimberly slowly pulled her dress off, as Tommy moved her back to straddling his waist. His hands held her hips, but Kim moved them to the bed. Tommy refused to take any more and pulled down to his chest. Kim laughed as he tickled her.

"I'll teach you wife!" Tommy quickly rolled her under him to her stomach. He kissed her neck, his tongue tasting every inch around her neck and shoulders. He moved up and down her back, with many kisses and finally nibbling her round delicious butt. Kim would reach back to touch him, but Tommy would place her hands back to the bed, his hands on top.He swallowed her moans, her cries of passion with his mouth. Finally, they came, emptying out all reserved energy and passion. Together in the total blissfulness of happiness, they slept as one.

Teaser: Mr. Hart opened Tommy's camcorder and hooked it up to the huge tv in the living room. Kim and Tommy left a copy of the tape for Mr. Hart to watch. After breakfast, Maria finally made him watch it. It was one of the reason Mr. Hart did come out with them. Mr. Hart got a box of tissue and sat beside his ex wife on the couch.
"You're going to need these."

The film started in the car. Tommy was driving, holding the camcorder. Kim rolled her eyes. She shoved it away over and over
"Boy, you are going to kill us before we reach Vegas!"
"Okay ok, so here we have, it is almost 1. Thomas Steven Oliver and his soon-to-be wife, Kimberly Ann Hart on their way to Vegas. My parents.." The camera moved to viewing behind them. "Following us in their car. So, the future Mrs. Oliver, how are you feeling on this lovely day?"
"Much better when you turn that damn off and drive!"
"Wow, language babe! Our children will be seeing this one day!"
"Oh, shut up! Besides, with a father like you, cursing will come natural to them!"
"Cute." Kim smiled. "We are also going to need this to prove to your parents we were sane in mind when we got married."
