It's been a busy week for me and I haven't had as much time as I would have liked to work on this story. But I am busy working on the next couple of chapters so hopefully this will keep you satisfied until I can upload them all. Thanks again to all of you who love this story and are sending me the great reviews. I am planning another story about Tommy and Katherine and why there was no mention of her during Dino Thunder and I hope you will like it as much as you do this one.
Tommy sat on a bench in the park and waited for Katherine who was on her way to meet him. She had called and begged him to meet her in the park. From the way she sounded, Tommy knew that her talk with her parents hadn't gone well.
"Thanks for meeting me," Kat said as she approached Tommy and he stood up to give her a hug.
"I'm a little surprised that you wanted to meet here," Tommy replied.
"I know it's risky since we haven't exactly told anyone about us but I needed to see you right away," Kat commented.
"You sounded so frantic on the phone, I take it that means your talk with your parents didn't go so well," Tommy said once they were both seated.
"That's putting it mildly," Kat replied.
"Well if it makes you feel any better, my parents weren't exactly pleased about our news," Tommy remarked.
"What'd they say?" Kat asked.
"My dad didn't say much, just that he knew I would do the right thing and my mom was upset that after all the times she lectured me on being safe I didn't listen, but they both said they would help us in anyway" Tommy told her.
"Wish my parents had been so supportive, I broke the news to my mum first, she said she was really disappointed in me but that she would stand by whatever decision I made, and then she said she would help me tell my father," Kat began.
"I'm guessing that's the part that didn't go well," Tommy concluded.
"You can say that again, I've never seen my father so angry, he started yelling about me messing up my life and that he wished we'd never come to America and the only reason that we did was because of his job and he actually threatened to send me away," Kat explained.
"Send you away?" Tommy questioned.
"He wants to send me back to Australia to live with my aunt and said that after I had the baby I could come back here to be with him and my mother," Kat said.
"Am I missing something here, why would your dad want to send you away to have the baby only to let you come back home," Tommy said a little confused.
" Because he only wants me to come back, he said that if I agreed to go home to Australia until the baby's born and put the baby up for adoption that we'll forget this whole thing ever happened, can you believe that, he actually thinks I'd agree to something like that," Kat replied.
"So does this mean you've decided to keep the baby?" Tommy asked.
"I just can't bear the thought of giving my baby away to strangers, but what I need to know is how you'd feel about all this," Kat told him.
"Well for one thing, I'd never let your dad send you all the way to Australia and as far as adoption goes, I was lucky that I got such great parents out of it but there isn't a day that I don't wonder what my real parents are like and I could never do that to a child of mine," Tommy said.
"Then it's decided we're keeping the baby, I can only imagine what my father will say after he hears this," Kat replied.
"Are you sure you should go back home, I know my mom would let you stay with us once we explain about your dad," Tommy said.
"I'll be ok for now, my mom won't let him kick me out, especially since my Aunt Miranda is coming to town in a few days, he won't say anything until after she leaves," Kat told him.
"Alright but if he says anything, don't hesitate to call me," Tommy replied.
"I'll be fine as long as you're with me," Kat declared.
"Good because I'm not going anywhere," Tommy promised and then kissed her.
Neither of them noticed the person standing a few feet away shocked by what she was seeing. The person turned and walked away in the opposite direction.
"Hey, I thought you were meeting Adam in the park," Kim said when Asia came into her bedroom.
"I was but I saw something that I think you should know about," Asia said sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Oh and what's that," Kim remarked.
"I saw Tommy and he wasn't alone," Aisha told her.
"So who's the mystery woman that he left me for?" Kim questioned.
"Your not going to like this but I feel like I should tell you anyway," Aisha replied.
"Come on out with Aisha, who is she?" Kim asked.
"It was Katherine," Aisha revealed.
"Oh is that all, I'm sure she was just being friendly you know just seeing how he was doing since our breakup, Kat's dating Rocky," Kim pointed out.
"Kim, Rocky and Katherine only went out on one date and Tommy and Katherine weren't talking when I saw them, they were kissing," Aisha explained to her best friend.
"But Tommy said he'd been spending time with this girl while I was away, if it was Katherine then wouldn't you and the others have noticed they were spending so much time together," Kim replied.
"To be honest with you, neither Kat or Tommy was around very much she always claimed to be busy with dance classes and when she did hang out with me, she always had to leave for something," Aisha told her.
"I can't believe this, from the minute Kat came to Angel Grove, she's done nothing but take things from me!" Kim exclaimed.
"Yeah but she was under a spell," Aisha reminded her.
"A spell that made her wants me out of the way so she had a clear shot at my boyfriend," Kim retorted.
"Come on Kim, I know it wasn't right of them to be sneaking around, but this isn't all Kat's fault, Tommy had a part in this too," Aisha said.
"How could he do this to me with someone I thought was my friend?" Kim questioned.
"I'm so sorry to have been the one to tell you but I thought you should know," Aisha replied.
"Well I'm glad you told me because Tommy was obviously too chicken to tell me the truth," Kim said angrily as she got up and ran out the door.
"Kim, where are you going?" Aisha asked.
"To get some answers!" Kim yelled as she got in her car with Aisha running behind her and getting into the passenger seat.
