Chapter 7 Changing so Fast
Tommy and Kim have been married for about five months. Kim had just arrived from the doctors and had received some shocking news. It had almost been a year since the accident.
"Tommy," Kim said as she looked down and put her hands on her stomach.
She had not been feeling well for about a week. Tommy had finally convinced her to see a doctor.
"Kim, you're not…" Tommy began.
Kim just smiled.
"You're going to be a daddy," she replied.
Tommy gave his wife a kiss.
"This is amazing, we're going to be parents," Kim smiled.
"Are we really ready for a baby?" Tommy asked.
"Honey, we're not seventeen anymore," Kim reminded him. "Don't think twice that we're not ready, because I am, and I'm not going to do anything to endanger this child."
Tommy smiled and nodded.
"That's what I want to hear," he said. "A strong, confident mother-to-be."
They had stopped using protection the night of their wedding. Kim had to admit, five months trying to get pregnant felt like forever. She was scared at first that she might not even be able to get pregnant, but the doctor had cleared her of anything like that. Tommy had to continually remind her that these things take time sometimes. In reality, five months really was not that long considering the fact that when Kim found out, she had already been two months pregnant.

A few minutes later, Kim was on the phone with her mom.
"Hello?" her mother answered.
"Mom, it's Kim," she said.
The two had not seen each other since the wedding. It made it hard to when Kim was in California and her mother being in Paris.
"Hey sweetie, how are you?" her mother asked.
"Never better, Mom," Kim smiled. "By the way, did you get mine and Tommy's birthday card yet?"
"As a matter of fact, I did this morning. Thank you sweetie," her mother said.
"Sorry I don't have your birthday gift with me right now," Kim apologized, "but you're going to have to wait about nine months."
Mrs. Hart started screaming.
"I don't believe this, my baby is now having a baby," she said.
"Amazing, isn't it?" Kim smiled.
"I'm so proud of you, Kimberly," her mother cried.
"Mom, I haven't had the baby yet," she laughed.
"I proud of you because I saw what losing your first was like, and I've seen how well you've pulled through it," she said. "You're going to me a wonderful mother."
"Thanks, Mom," Kim smiled.
"Oh Honey, your step-father's calling me. I'll talk to you later sweetie, I love you," her mother replied.
"I love you too, Mom," Kim said hanging up the phone.
Kim walked into the living room and sat next to Tommy on the couch.
"What did your mom have to say?" Tommy asked.
"She's thrilled," Kim said.
"I knew she'd be," Tommy smiled.
Kim closed her eyes as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"We're having a baby, Tommy," she whispered.
"I can hardly believe it myself," he said. When he looked down at Kim, she was fast asleep. "Goodnight, Beautiful."
He leaned forward to kiss to top of her head. Kim was once again with child, and this time, the turnaround would be different.

A few days later, Tommy came up with an idea. He called Zack, Jason, Rocky, and Adam to the house.
"Are you really making a dojo?" Zack asked.
"Sure am," Tommy said, "and I want you, Jason, Rocky, and Adam to join with me. With Kim being pregnant, I'd like to earn a little more money on the side. "
"Why not Billy?" Jason asked.
"He's working at some high school," Tommy said. "So, what do you say?"
"Sure," Jason smiled.
"Sure, let's do it," Zack replied.
"Rocky, Adam?" Tommy asked.
The two looked over at each other and nodded.
"Sounds good with me," Rocky said.
"I'm in," Adam replied.
Kim then walked into the living room, arms wrapped her stomach. Being pregnant was definitely something to get used to again.
"And here's my beautiful sis now," Jason said.
"You're sweet," Kim smiled, "but I don't think my attitude won't be so beautiful after a while."
"Still getting used to the whole with child thing, huh?" Adam asked.
"Just a little," Kim said. "I never had morning sickness this bad the first time."
Zack walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"You're going to be a great mother," he smiled.
"Yeah, you were a natural with them at Christmas," Rocky said.
"Thanks guys," Kim smiled.
The guys soon left mostly to give Kim some room.
"I think I'm going to take a nap," Kim yawned.
"Dinner will hopefully be ready by the time you wake up," Tommy said.
Kim turned back to Tommy and smiled.
"Oh, you don't have to do that," she said.
"But I want to," Tommy smiled.
Kim shook her head and headed to the bedroom.

A year had past. Kim walked into the dojo, baby Maggie in her arms.
"Jason, where's Tommy?" she asked, walking towards him.
"His class will end in about ten minutes," he said.
Jason picked up Maggie.
"And how's my favorite niece?" he cooed.
"Your only niece right now," Kim laughed.
Zack, Rocky, and Adam joined them.
"This was a great idea of Tommy to make a dojo and us helping him," Rocky said.
"Maggie is getting so big," Adam replied. "Looking like you, too."
"That's for sure," Zack smiled.
"She's as beautiful as her mother," a voice said.
"Hey, Honey, how's work?" Kim asked.
"Great, but..." Tommy began.
Kim did not like how he said those words.
"But what, Tommy?" Kim asked.
"I was offered a job at a high school with Billy," he said.
"Tommy, that's great," Kim smiled.
"He just doesn't like the idea of leaving the dojo," Jason said, handing Maggie back to Kim.
After Kim had Maggie back in her arms, she turned her attention back to her husband.
"Tommy, you should take the offer," Kim said.
"All right, I will, but there's one problem," he told her.
"What?" Kim asked.
"It's in Reefside…" Tommy said.
