Outline: Why is Kim so sick?

Chapter 15 Sickly Kim

The last bell of the day had just rung. Everyone needed the three day weekend break.

"See you guys tomorrow," Rocky waved.

Adam and Jason waved as Rocky left.

"Tommy, you coming?" Aisha asked. Tommy's mind seemed to be on Mars. "Earth to Tommy, hello."

Jason and Adam laughed. Tommy had been like that all day.

"Um, huh? What?" the White Ranger asked.

"What's the deal? You were spacing on us there for a while," Adam said.

"Yeah, bro," Jason laughed.

"I guess I was thinking about what Aisha said about moving. Aisha… Kim can't go to Paris," Tommy said. "You know how I reacted when she told us that the first time." He did not want to think about. "I won't lose her. I have to talk to her mom or do something."

"You're going to do something about it, right?" Adam asked.

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking," Tommy replied.

"Well, you better start thinking faster, mister. Cause if you don't, you'll lose Kim forever," Aisha said.

"Gee, love the attitude. I never said I'd lose her forever," Tommy protested.

"Well, wouldn't her moving to Pairs feel like that?" Jason asked.

"Never thought about it that way," Tommy frowned.

Aisha put her hand on his shoulder.

"Come on, Kim's waiting for you," she replied.

"Got to go. Kat and Tanya are waiting for us," Adam said.

"All right," Aisha replied.

"How has Kim been since you got her home?" Tommy asked.

Aisha sighed as he opened the passenger door for her.

"All right. She's pretty much the same as before."

"I wish I knew what was going on," Tommy said.

In the back of Tommy's mind, he knew more than likely what was wrong.

"Mom, Tommy's here to see Kim," Aisha called.

Her mom came out of the kitchen.

"I'm sure she'd love the company," she said.

He walked across the hall and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Kim asked.

"It's me, beautiful," Tommy said. "Can I come in?"

"Sure, Tommy," Kim smiled.

Kim looked up as Tommy opened the door and smiled.

"How are feeling?" Tommy asked.

She sat up in bed and sighed.

"Like shit," Kim laughed.

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital and get checked out?" Tommy asked.

"No way," Kim objected. "The doctor won't tell you what's wrong with me unless you're a relative anyway."

"I know one," Tommy said.

"Oh yeah, who?" Kim asked.

"Your Uncle Steve," Tommy reminded her.

"Oh, yeah… forgot," Kim sighed.

"So, come on," Tommy said.

"All right, I'm not going to have you drag me," Kim sighed.

"Hey, Aisha," Tommy called.

"Coming," she said. She walked into the room and saw Tommy helping Kim up. "What's up?"

"We're taking her to the hospital," Tommy said.

"All right, you're the boss," Aisha replied.

"More like leader," Kim smiled.

Steve walked into the hospital.

"Thanks for coming on such short notice, Steve," Tommy said, shaking his hand. "They won't tell us anything if we're not a relative."

"No problem, Tommy."

Tommy and Aisha walked out of the room.

"So, Doctor, what's wrong with my niece?" Steve asked.

"I'll tell him, Dr. Walker," Kim insisted.

"If you want to, Kimberly," he said.

"Uncle Steve… I'm about two months pregnant," she sighed.

Kim closed her eyes, waiting to hear yelling.

"If that's it, why couldn't her friends know, Doctor?" Steve asked.

Kim slowly opened her eyes in shock.

"It's best for a relative to know first," Dr. Walker replied.

"Uncle Steve, didn't you hear a word I was saying? I am a senior in high school, and I'm having a baby," Kim cried.

"This might sound a little weird, Kimberly, but I have no control on what you do with your life."

"Thanks for not going crazy on me," Kim said.

"I'll get the rest," Steve smiled.

Adam, Rocky, and Tanya walked into the hospital.

"How is she, man?" Adam asked.

The White Ranger turned and sighed.

"The doctor wouldn't say," Tommy said.

"When will the doctor tell you anything?" Tanya asked.

The Yellow Ranger just shrugged.

"I guess not until her Uncle knows," Aisha said.

Rocky put his hand on Tommy's shoulder. Fear was in his eyes, and everyone could tell. Kim had never had something like this happen to her.

"Kim's going to be all right," Rocky said.

"I know she will," Tommy sighed. "Hell, if she was going to be Zedd's wife at one put, this is nothing."

The laughing did not lighten the mood much.

"Hey, it's Zack, Billy, and Jason," Adam said.

At the same time, Steve and Dr. Walker walked out of Kim's room.

"Steve, what is it?" Tommy asked.

"Kimberly's two months pregnant," he replied.

"Damn it Kim, I knew something like this would happen," Zack yelled to himself.

"Congratulations, Tommy," Jason smiled.

"Um… gosh, this is some news. It was in the back of my mind, but I never really thought about it," he said.

"Why don't you go see her?" Dr. Walker suggested.

"Thanks, Dr. Walker," Tommy said.

The Red Ranger noticed that two people were missing.

"Hey, where's Kat and Trini?" Rocky asked.

"They're picking out flowers for Kim," Billy said.

"Hey, beautiful," Tommy softly whispered.

Kim slowly opened her eyes and sat up in the bed.

"Tommy… you know, right?" she asked.

He smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I guess we're still in shock, huh?" Tommy asked.

"Damn Zedd. I hate it when he's right," Kim said. Tommy shook his head and laughed. "Who would have known I would become pregnant?"

"Kim, we both didn't know," Tommy replied.

"You heard about Aisha moving, too?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, and I think I came up with a solution," Tommy smiled.

"So what is this big plan of yours, Mr. Oliver?" Kim smirked.

"Well I was thinking…" Tommy began.

Before Tommy could answer, everyone entered the room.

"Are those flowers for me?" Kim asked, noticing the flowers in Kat's hands.

"You bet they are," Trini smiled. "Your favorite, pink and white."

"They're beautiful," Kim said.

"What have you two been talking about?" Kat asked.

"Well, Tommy thinks be found a solution for when Aisha moves," Kim said.

All their eyes grew. That had to have been the second best news of the day.

"Spit it out then," Aisha smiled.

She was excited to know Tommy had found a way to make Kim stay.

"Yeah, what's this genius plan of yours?" Rocky asked.

"All right, all right. I was thinking about Kim and me getting an apartment," Tommy said.

Kim's eyes grew. Was she hearing correctly? Tommy... wanting an apartment? This was big. Really big.

"Are you sure about that?" Kim asked.

"Sure, why not?" Tommy replied.

"Kim, I think that's a great idea," Tanya said.

Adam looked over at Tanya, then back at Kim.

"I second that answer, Kim," he said.

"All right, I'll live with Tommy," Kim sighed.

Sure, like she could say no? With Aisha leaving, she had nowhere else to go.

"I don't think you have a choice, girl," Zack laughed.
