With the soft breathing above, Kimberly woke up with a smile. She rubbed the hard, yet smooth chest, her cheek had been laying on for the past few hours.

Tommy sat on the bus. He was pissed, not at Kimberly, he loves her, truly with all his heart, but she slept with another man. His wife slept with another man. 'But did she do it?' he thought. 'Was it really to save him from a life in jail? . Tommy looked out the window to see Kimberly being held back by officers. Her screams, cries of agony filled her face. Tommy turned his eyes from that sight. If he stayed looking at her, he wouldn't be able to leave. Leave his wife. Tommy looked up a young woman passed by. She laid a letter besides him. Tommy looked at her.

"What is that?"

"I think you just need to read it." Tommy picked up the letter, looking over the water letter. He couldn't read it with the water, but he could read one particular line. " 8 weeks? 8 weeks!" Tommy looked up and out the window. The bus has started and was pulling down the terminal. "STOP THE BUS!"

Kimberly looked up from the cop's chest to see the bus stop lights come on in a halt. The doors opened. Tommy came down the steps. He was holding the letter.

"Is this true!" Kimberly nodded. "Does it mean what I think it does?" The rain pouring down on them. Kim nodded. Tommy dropped his bag and ran to her. Kim pulled away from the 2 officers and hugged him.

"I'm sorry!" Tommy hugged her back. "I'm so sorry!" Tommy just hugged her. "I love you!"

"I love you."

"You two might want to get out of this rain."

"This is how it all started, with rain." Kim smiled as Tommy cupped Kim's face and kissed her.

Tommy woke up to find Kimberly awake stroking his bare chest. She looked up into his eyes.

"I have something for you."

"What?" Kim sat up, holding the sheet to her bare chest. She opened his top drawer. She pulled out the wedding band. "My ring. You found it?"

"I had to. I couldn't let it go. Not like that." Tommy had her slid the ring on his finger.

"Whether this baby is mine or not, that doesn't matter. I will always be it's father."

"But it has to be yours, I only..slept with Tyler..." Tommy shook his head.

"It doesn't matter anymore. I love you and our son.."

"Or daughter."

"Our child. I love you both, no matter what." Kim reached up and kissed him.

3 months later, in front of family and friends, in Durham North Carolina, Kimberly and Tommy were married in a formal celebration. Family and friends surrounding the couple in the beautiful garden of DUKE Gardens. White roses all around. The wedding a secret kept from the couple, as the maid of honor, best man, and parents, but together the entire ceremony. Tommy stood with Jason beside him, everyone smiling throughout the ceremony. After the vows were read. Everyone awaited the final statements.

"I do," Tommy said. Kimberly, now a little over 5 months pregnant stood opposite him, tears down her face.

"And do you Kimberly take this man, again, to be your husband. To hold and cherish...for all of your life?"

"I do, forever."

"Before this royal celebrations of family and friends, I now pounce husband and wife to you all. Mr. Oliver, you may kiss your wife." Tommy smiled and kissed Kimberly deeply. Tommy lifted her up and twirled Kimberly around. Kim held his face and kissed him again. The crowd erupted in celebrations around them.

October 31st, 1998, Christopher Thomas was born to the world. Though he was nearly 2 weeks late, he was a tiny baby. He weighed about 4 pounds, 7 ounces with a head filled with of that brown hair. And was spitting image of his father, Tommy Oliver.

THE END

Wow, I can't believe it's over. Trust me, it was well worth the headache, writer's block, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I know my writing probably sucks, what spell check misses, I can't help it. I live by my spell checker and if it can't fix the problems, I'm seriously screwed! So thanks for bearing with me through this process, bad grammar in all!
