Part Four

The group finished decorating the Youth Center and decided to go to the park. They felt they needed some fresh air.

Alison pouted and planted her feet firmly on the ground as they began to leave.

"I don't wanna go to the park." she said.

"Why not?" Aisha asked. "You love the park."

"Because," Alison said with a roll of her eyes. "I can't play. I'll ruin my dress."

"She has a point." Kim said. "How about we go home and get you changed?"

"No!" The girl said. "I will have to get this stuff back on for the Christmas party."

Tommy smiled. Did his eyes really turn that dark when he was angry?

"Why don't we just go to the park? I want to show you the spot where I first asked you mom out."

Alison thought for a second, then smiled.

"Ok." she said.

"And when you come back," Ernie told the youngest member of the group. "Santa will be here."

Alison's face glowed and she quickly grabbed Tommy's hand and tugged him out the door.

The former white ranger just laughed and picked up the small girl. He kissed her cheek.

"What was that for?"

All Dr. Oliver did was point up. They were standing under the mistletoe.

Alison kissed his cheek too and they left as the others laughed.

At the park, the group found a couple of picnic tables to sit around. They discussed their ranger adventures as Tommy, Kim and Alison found their way down the lake.

The small family came to a stop near the water's edge.

"Is this the spot?" Ally asked her father and he nodded.

Images of the day he had first lost his Green Ranger powers flashed through Tommy's mind.

He had come out here to practice some kata. It helped him think when he was out in nature.

Kimberly approached him. They talked for about and then Kim said the they missed him. When he just shrugged of the statement, she told him she missed him.

He kissed her then and then asked her to the dance.

It was one of his faverite memories.

It took Tommy awhile to realize Kimberly was telling their daughter the story.

"You really kissed her before you asked her out?"

"Yeah, I did. It seemed like the right thing to do."

Kim smiled up at him and he wanted to kiss her then. This was their spot after all.

Tommy had spent time with Kat here, but they never really kissed or sat by the lake on the days when they weren't in school or fighting. This was just a special place he had shared with only Kim and now their daughter.

"Boys are weird."

"Yeah," Tommy chuckled. "And you keep saying that until you find one all of us approve of."

"That's going to be close to never." Kim mumbled.

"Your parents liked me."

"Yeah, but they still didn't trust you."

Tommy noticed a sad look came upon his former girlfriend.

"Ally, go back to the others." Tommy said not even looking at the child. "Shout out you're coming really loud, ok?"

Alison nodded and ran to the tables screaming that she wanted to be hugged by all her uncles and aunties.

"Kim?" Tommy said and took ahold of Kim's small hand.

"Hmmm?"

"What happened when you told your parents you were pregnant."

Kim sniffled and wiped a tear from her eye.

"Nothing much. They just said you took advantage of a young innocent girl and that you would probably dump me when you found out."

Tommy tugged Kim closer to him so he could hold her.

"You know I would never have abandoned you."

"I know." Kim said and nodded into his chest. "I was scared and it was the last thing I wanted to hear, but I called Trini soon after and she comforted me."

Tommy held Kim tighter to him. He would have been there for her if she had told him. He wished he was the one to put her doubts to rest. It wasn't fair. He wished she had told him. She should have told him.

He rubbed her back gently and a small smile appeared on his face.

He was going to get that chance. They had promised each other, if Kim were to move back to California, they would start over.

Tommy pulled Kim away and smiled down at her. He took her hand and then he kissed her just like the first time.

"Kim will you like to have dinner with me later tonight?" He asked as he pulled away.

"I would love to." Kim said blinking up at him in her confusion.
