Chapter 18 My Class Ring
"Thanks, Dr. Walker," the Red Ranger said.
Tommy hung up the phone as Kim walked in the door with a bag of groceries in her hands.
"Here, let me help," he offered.
She looked up and smiled at him. Tommy was now doing house work more than ever, and helping his pregnant girlfriend with the easiest things.
"That's very sweet of you, but I can handle it. Who was that anyway?" Kim asked. Tommy took the bags out of Kim's hands and placed them on the counter. "Are you going to tell me?"
Tommy turned to her and smiled.
"That was Dr. Walker. How would you like to find out the sex of our child?" Tommy asked.
"It's already that time? Great," Kim smiled.
Tommy was surprised when she jumped into his arms.
"He wants us to go right now," he told her.
"But our date's tonight. And not just a date, it's our anniversary," Kim frowned.
They were being torn between going out to eat and finding out the gender of their baby.
"I know. We'll be back in time. Tonight, we'll have two things to celebrate about," Tommy said.
It would be three if he had it his way, but it was not quite time for that question to be asked right now.
"Oh, good," Kim sighed.
She was happy to know it would not get in way of their night out.
"All right, let's go," Kim smiled.
"Sorry if this sounds mean, Kim, but are you supposed to be this big already?" Tommy asked.
She looked over at him and frowned.
"I know, it sucks. The surprise I got won't fit," Kim laughed.
"A dress?" Tommy guessed.
"Yeah, I can tell you now," Kim sighed.
Tommy acted like he did not know, than he told her.
"I kind of knew about the dress," he admitted.
"Oh, really?" Kim laughed.
"Yeah, when I mentioned this date, the girls just had to get you to the mall as soon as possible," Tommy replied.
"What color is it then?" Kim asked.
Tommy was not into the whole guessing game.
"Oh, come on, Kim, they didn't tell me. I'm guessing pink," he said.
He did not even give it any thought.
"Wrong. It's red," Kim smiled.
"Red? That sucks, I would have liked to have seen you in that, rather than pink or tan," Tommy said.
Kim rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Yeah, and look at what seeing me in tan did to me," she said.

"What are we naming the baby it it's a boy or a girl?" Kim asked.
Tommy looked over at her and shrugged. He did not want Kim to dislike the name he had.
"For a boy, Marty Frank Oliver-Hart," he replied.
He was praying it would change to just Oliver soon.
"Tommy, there is no way my child is having my last name. It's going to be Marty Frank Oliver if anything," Kim said.
"You sure?" Tommy asked.
"You bet," Kim smiled.
Tommy was jumping up and down inside. That was a sure yes in his book. He paused to take in what Kim had just told him.
"All right, Kim, what about a girl?" Tommy asked.
"I was thinking Elizabeth Ann Oliver," Kim replied.
"You just had to add the Ann in it, didn't you?" Tommy laughed.
Last year, he caught Kim looking through a baby names book, which made him uneasy.
"I've had that name picked out for years," Kim said.
"Even the Oliver?" Tommy asked.
"Of course," Kim smiled. "I've always wanted Ann, and it went well with Oliver, don't you think?"
"It sure did," Tommy replied.

"So, Dr. Walker, blue or pink?" Kim smiled.
"How about both?" he asked.
Tommy smiled and leaned over to Kim to hug and kiss her.
"We're having twins, Tommy. This is amazing," Kim cried.
"At least we don't have to tell them apart," he laughed.
Kim could not stop crying. She was both happy and scared at the same time.
"Have you picked out any names yet?" Dr. Walker asked.
"Elizabeth Ann and Marty Frank Oliver," Kim said.

Sitting down eating, Tommy shoved his hand in his back pocket and nearly gasped. He forgot the ring! They had gone straight to the restaurant after the hospital.
"Tommy, you all right? You're very pale," Kim said.
"Um… I'll… be back," he told her.
Tommy ran by the bathroom and picked up the pay phone. He was panicking even more as each ring ended.
"Damn it Jason, pick up the phone," Tommy begged.
"Hello?" asked a voice.
"Jason, thank God you're home," Tommy said.
"Tommy, what's the matter? You're out of breath. She didn't say no, did she?" he panicked.
She could not have done that to him, could she?
"Worse," Tommy said.
"What can be worse than that?" Jason asked.
"Do you have the spare keys to the apartment?" Tommy wondered.
"Oh no, please say you didn't forget the ring," Jason begged.
"All right, I didn't leave the ring, but then that would be lying, cause I did forget the ring," Tommy yelled.
"I'll bail you out this time. Tell me where it is and Kat and I will drop it off on our way to eat," Jason said.
"Thanks man, I owe you. It's on the kitchen table," Tommy told him.
"Yeah, yeah. See you in a bit," Jason laughed.

Tommy sighed as Jason and Kat entered the restaurant.
"Kim, look who just showed up," he said.
She gave him a puzzled looked as she turned around.
"Hey you two," Kim smiled. "You're eating here, too?"
"Na, just past by to say hi. Pathetic, I know. We shouldn't be bothering you on a date," Jason said.
Kat blocked Kim so Jason could give Tommy the ring.
"Kim, why aren't you wearing the dress?" Kat asked.
"I didn't think I would get this big this fast," Kim replied.
"Hopefully it isn't a big baby," Jason joked.
"It won't," Tommy said. "We found out why Kim was getting so big."
Kat and Jason turned to Kim for the answer.
"Twins," Kim smiled.
Kat and Jason looked at each other in shock.
"Kim, I'm so happy for you," Kat smiled.
"Thanks, Kat," she laughed.
"Congratulations," Jason said.
"Thanks, Jason," Tommy smiled.
"Well, we better get going," Kat said.
"Bye," Kim replied.
Kat and Jason stood outside the door and watched as Tommy gave Kim his class ring.
"Tommy, what's all this about?" Kim asked.
"It's my class ring," he replied.
"I know that. Why are you giving it to me?" Kim asked.
"It'll have to do until I can get you an engagement ring," Tommy said.
"Tommy, I don't know what to say," Kim sobbed.
"Say you'll marry me, Kimberly Ann Hart," Tommy smiled. Kim looked down and smiled. "Well? Kimberly!"
Tommy began to panic.
"Do you have to ask? Yes, Tommy, I'll marry you," Kim smiled.
"What did she say?" Kat asked.
"Well, Kat, by the looks of it, Kim said yes," Jason said
"Oh my, we better go before they found out we're watching them kiss," she laughed.
