Chapter 9: A Beautiful Thing

Kimberly ran down the fortress back toward the throne room. She was going to end this war forever. No more will that monster have a hold on her family. Kimberly kicked opened the throne doors. She pulled off her helmet and dropped it at her feet quickly.

"Ahh, you have returned," Zedd coughed, holding himself up by his staff, as Kimberly appeared with her laser gun high.

"Let's end this, Zeddy. This ends right now."

"As you wish." They fought. Kimberly drew in power of old, all her ninja training, all her days watching Tommy and the other rangers, all the frustration of built up rage and anger for the lost of her son came to surface. Zedd realized from the first punch to the face, this Kimberly was not leaving here with him still breathing.

"Do it! You know you can't! I know you, Kimberly. You don't have the heart to kill me." Kimberly stood with his staff in her hands, as Zedd stood before her, both breathing hard. The staff slowly went down. "I told you, you can't defeat me, I am a monster and the only way to defeat a monster is to become one. And you will never do that. Especially carrying that baby within you." Kimberly gasped. "Yes, I knew, I could sense the young one growing strong inside you. Another baby, you two don't wait long. I wonder how this one will take to his Ed." Kimberly looked at Zedd. Her grip on the staff tightened. "I will take it just as fast as I took poor Christopher." A tear rolled down Kim's face. She turned to walk away. "You're weak, Kimmy! You always needed a man to save your li...fe."

"Burn in hell," Kimberly said piercing the staff into Zedd's chest to hold him there. She pushed him backward into the wall, pushing the staff as far as she could into him. Zedd fell back into the throne chair with Kimberly standing there, his blood on her hands.

"I didn't think you had it in you, Beautiful." Kimberly slowly stepped down. "I hate how you are always right." She turned to leave, and then stopped.

"And I love it." Zedd laughed, then coughed. He couldn't pull the staff out if he tried.

"Well, I guess, this is over," Zedd said. Kimberly pulled out the bombs in her pocket. She placed one at his feet after setting a number on it. She placed one with each step she took.

"Yes, it is."

"You've won."

"And you lost."

"I did love you." Zedd fell to one knee. "And I did love Carl. We could have…"

"Never. Carl will have a family, with Tommy and I, and this baby. And we will never think of you again. Goodbye, Zedd."

"Goodbye, my love." Kimberly slowly stepped back after setting the last bomb. "My…love." Zedd fell forward from the throne chair face down. Kimberly slightly gasped as another explosion went off somewhere. She picked up her helmet and ran as fast as she could back to the pod.

Tommy sat there as Kimberly arrived. He opened the pod for her. She came into the pod and pulled off her helmet.

"We really have to go," Kimberly said.

"What did you do?"

"What was meant to be done," Kimberly said. "We got 30 seconds."

"Is he dead?" Kimberly pushed down the throttle to the pod. "Kim?" They flew back to the ship. Carl opened the panel and the pod landed. Tommy and Kimberly rushed to the main deck.

"Hold on!" Kimberly patted Carl's back and took over the controls. She took the thrusters control. She took off into space back to Earth with Tommy and Carl beside her.

Zedd lay near dead on the ground. He looked through the windows to see the ship outside his fortress.

"You really did it Pink ranger. Zordon would be proud." Explosions occurring everywhere now, and just as the pod left the fortress and docked into the ship, the fortress exploded completely.

"Mom, Dad…" Tommy looked down at Carl as he felt the rumble.

"Hold on," Tommy said. He pulled Carl to him, as Kimberly pushed down the throttle to maximum as the ship raced back toward Earth and away from the explosion. They all felt the rumble of the explosion coming upon them fast. Kimberly gasped and turned to Tommy. They held each other tight, with Carl between them. Carl hugged his parents tight, as the ship started to shake badly as it was hit with the waste of the exploded fortress.

Aisha, Billy, Jason, and the rest stood at the ruins of Command Center. Billy's eyes lit up as a beep came on the computer.

"What is it?"

"The ship!" All of a sudden, as ship came from the dark clouds and landed a bit rough right before them. The ship was smoking, many piece falling off in the return home, as the panel opened to rounds of coughing. Tommy kicked the top off the panel off. They walked out the ship, laughing, Tommy with his arms around Kimberly and Carl.

"You made it!" Aisha rushed to them.

"You guys made it!" Jason yelled as he ran toward them with the rest of the rangers. They all laughed and hugged each other.

"And Zedd?"

"Gone," Kimberly said with a smile.

Kimberly, Carl, and Tommy were cleaned up after another stay at the hospital. Tommy just had to clean up the cuts all over his body. Carl had a few bruises, nothing major. Tommy wanted Kimberly checked by the doctor about the baby immediately.

"I am fine, Tommy."

"I still want the doctor to check the baby and make sure everything is okay." The doctor came into the room.

"Mrs. Oliver, I am glad to see you have returned."

"Doctor Kenneth, this is ridiculous, I am fine."

"Let's do that ultrasound still. You ran out of here before I could confirm the pregnancy with the ultrasound." Tommy smiled and rubbed her back. Kimberly was made to lay back and her shirt was lifted up as a nurse brought in the machine. Tommy let out a laugh as the heartbeat of his second child filled the room.

"Is that it?"

"Yep, that's your baby."

"It's a little fast, should the baby's heartbeat be that fast?"

"Yes, Tommy. Remember, babies' hearts beat a lot faster than ours," Kimberly said rubbing his face.

"I just…I missed the beginning the last time."

"Well, you won't this one. You are at least 6 weeks, Mrs. Oliver."

"What a beautiful thing," Tommy said looking at the baby on the monitor.

Carl came into the room where Kimberly and Tommy were. Tommy was rubbing Kim's head, as the doctor was doing an ultrasound on her belly.

"You want me to keep this picture?"

"Can we have another?"

"Sure."

"What's going on?" Carl asked allowing the door to close behind him.

"Oh, Carl, baby. Come see quick. It's your baby brother or sister," Kimberly said.

"What?"

"Your mother is pregnant Carl." Carl stepped back. "Isn't that great?" Tommy asked. Kimberly looked up at Carl, his face was pale.

"Carl, sweetie, you okay?"

"How could you!" Carl yelled.

"Carl?"

"Carl!" Carl ran out the room, bumping into Jason on his way.

"Hey, little T, what's up?"

"Carl, honey, what's wrong?" Aisha asked.

"Don't touch me!" Carl pulled from Jason's grasp and ran down the hall.

"Carl!" Kimberly yelled.

"What's going on?" Kimberly was rushing to pull down her shirt, as Tommy jumped up.

"He found out about the baby?"

"What baby?"

"Oh, I'm pregnant," Kimberly said to everyone standing there.

"Oh, congratulation!"

"Thanks."

"Carl!" Tommy rushed down the hall.

"We have to find Carl, he looked upset!"

"Let's go after him!" Everyone rushed out the hospital for Carl.

They found Carl at a park. Kimberly and Tommy looked at each other.

"Could you guys stay back and give us a moment?"

"Of course," Jason said. "Go, we'll be waiting here."

"Thanks." Kimberly and Tommy walked over to Carl, who was sitting on a bench. Kimberly and Tommy sat on the bench with him.

"Go away!"

"Carl, sweetie…you know we can't."

"Go away!"

"Son, what's wrong?" Carl looked up at his parents.

"You! You're having another baby! You don't want me anymore!"

"What? Of course we do!" Kimberly squatted before him. "I want nothing more than for us to be a happy family! I love you and I can't wait to have you with us forever." Kimberly hugged Carl and sat back on the bench. She kissed the top of his head. "I love you, baby." Carl sat on her lap.

"You still want me?"

"Are you kidding me, son? We can't wait!" Tommy squatted before them.

"We're going to be a family?" Carl looked up from Kim's shoulder.

"Of course!" Carl smiled and hugged Tommy.

"I just thought, you guys wouldn't, wouldn't want me now." Tommy lifted Carl up as he stood up.

"Oh, we want you, we need you now. With this new baby, it's gonna need his big brother to show him or her everything." Carl smiled at Kimberly. She kissed his cheek. Tommy kissed her, and carried Carl back to the jeep.

Tommy and Kimberly brought Carl back to the Edwards to pick up all the things he wanted, clothes, toys, and stuff like that.

"So, we'll bring Carl by early Christmas morning."

"Thank you."

"And don't hesitate to call us for visits," Kimberly said. "We still want you guys in Carl's life." Mrs. Edwards nodded as she was hugging Carl. Carl strapped up once he got into the jeep. Tommy closed the small trailer behind the jeep that held all Carl's things. They went home.

"We'll unload your things in the morning."

"Okay. Let's just get a good night's sleep. It's been a very long day."

"Yes, it has," Tommy said catching Carl as he jumped from the jeep. He put his arm around Kimberly as they walked to the house.

Christmas Day with the Olivers was a special day. Carl woke up just after the sun rose and raced downstairs to the Christmas tree.

"Mom! Dad!" Kimberly and Tommy came from the kitchen with smiles.

"We were wondering when you would get up, son," Tommy said with his mug of coffee. Kimberly settled down a tray of cookies with a pitcher of milk.

"Look what Santa brought!"

"I see, I think someone was very good this year," Kimberly said as Carl brought over a box.

"Can I open them all!"

"Of course! If you don't, I will!" Kimberly said with a smile. Carl shook the box before tearing through the paper. Tommy laughed.

"Is it going to be like this every year?" Tommy asked sitting next to Kimberly. Carl was tearing through another present

"I hope so." They kissed. "I love you."

"I love you, Beautiful."

"Mom, Dad, look! A car shop set!" Kimberly and Tommy smiled.

Kimberly sat with her son on the couch. They were eating breakfast with tv set on cartoons. Kimberly would look over often at her son. She loved having him in her life again. It was about time.

"Mommy, why are staring at me?"

"I'm not staring."

"Yes, you are. What is it?"

"Nothing." Kimberly went back to eating her cereal with a huge smile. The bowl rested comfortable on her small rounded stomach. She was pregnant again and loving it. Kimberly looked back over at Carl.

"Mom, seriously, you're freaking me out."

"Sorry." Kimberly smiled and went back to eating and watching tv. It was a Saturday morning in January. "I think you deserve a baby brother."

"What?"

"Yeah, I think a baby brother is what you need."

"But Daddy wants a little girl."

"And when has your father gotten what he wanted." Carl laughed. Tommy came into the room and found them laughing as he got another bowl of cereal.

"I get what I want."

"Yeah right." Tommy sat beside Kimberly, kissing the side of her head. He touched her belly. Kimberly took some of his cereal. He had wanted to go out for breakfast at the Waffle House, but Kimberly just wanted cereal, as did Carl, so they got their cereal.

"I get what I want," Tommy repeated sternly.

"Of course you do, baby." Kimberly patted his face. "Of course you do." Carl laughed as Kimberly kissed Tommy's nose a lot.

Aisha came in February to help start the planning of the wedding. Kimberly was just 17 weeks, a little over 4 months. Aisha was staying over with the Olivers for the next week, since she was on vacation. Kimberly and Tommy were thinking about a May wedding with family and friends in their backyard. Aisha and Kimberly were out in the backyard, as Carl was at school and Tommy was teaching at school as well.

"So, when exactly do you want this wedding, sweetie?" Aisha asked with her dozen of wedding books and packets out.

"May."

"So, when you are about 7 months pregnant, you want a wedding?"

"Basically, yeah. I want to wobble down the aisle." Aisha laughed.

"Okay. I will do everything you want."

"Good. You know, you would make a great wedding planner," Kimberly said as she picked up another book

"You too, this is basically all you, I am just agreeing with you." Kimberly lifted up a picture of a bouquet.

"Oh, I have to have this one." It was with open red roses and white starflowers mixed throughout it. "Don'tcha think?"

"Those are nice. You really should think about a new career. You are having another baby and I'm pretty sure teaching does not pay that much."

"Tommy says we're fine, so I have to believe we are."

"I know."

"I want the same bouquet, but smaller in my hair." Aisha wrote that down.

"Wow, we have done so much this morning."

"I know," Kimberly said looking at the small pictures they had set aside for the wedding, like the cake and some decorations.

"You have to decide on a wedding dress."

"I have time."

"We still have to get the backyard decorations layout, catering, guest list, all that in just a few short months. You'll be surprised how fast the time goes by." Kimberly looked at Aisha.

A little over 2 months later

It was May 2nd now, Wednesday, the wedding was going to be Sunday morning, the 6th.

Kimberly groaned at another row of chairs were brought in. It was just 4 days until the wedding and the house was a mess. The house was filled with chairs, tables, flowers were coming later on tomorrow. Tommy was at school, leaving her to deal with all the incoming traffic. Kimberly was at 7 months pregnant with her second child. Carl came downstairs. He hadn't been feeling too well, so was allowed to stay home. Kimberly knew he only wanted to be near his mother.

"Okay, Mrs. Oliver, where do you want these chairs?"

"Uh, the bedroom down the hall with the rest."

"Okay."

"Carl, baby, get back in bed. I want you napping for another hour or so."

"I'm feeling better."

"Honey, if you can't go to school, then I want you in bed. You can't get sick for the wedding, you have a very important job to do."

"But I want to help now."

"Honey, we have a stress filled next 4 days. This going to be a marathon okay. We got the Welcome Cocktail Party today, picnic in the park tomorrow, Friday is the bachelor and bachelorette parties, Saturday is rehearsal and Sunday is the wedding. I don't want my baby sick."

"Okay." Kimberly kissed his forehead and shooed him upstairs. Aisha came into the house.

"Auntie Sha!" Carl yelled.

"Hey, little man, I got your suit!" Carl came downstairs and took the bag.

"Now, go hang that up until I tell you to shower and put it on," Kimberly said.

"Yes, Mommy." Carl went upstairs to his room.

"Here is your dress for today."

"Thank you!" Kimberly took the bag and tried to look at her dress. "Did the cleaners alter it right this time?"

"I hope so." Aisha was already dressed. She was in a turquoise silk charmeuse dress.

"You are already dressed?"

"Well, I want to be at the hall now, and I don't want to rush and get dressed in an hour or so. Where's Tommy?"

"School I guess, he was supposed to leave after first period and be here to help."

"Just breathe Kim."

"My wedding is just days away, Sha. I am freaking out! I'm fat and wobbly and, fat!"

"You're beautiful," Tommy said walking in. He was carrying his suit with him. Kimberly smiled. "Come here." They hugged. "Breathe. I'm here, everything is going to be okay." He kissed her cheek.

They went upstairs to get ready for the Cocktail party. Aisha left to meet the first arriving guests. She had set up hotel rooms for Kim's side of the family and Tommy's side, along with friends and friends of friends. She got great deals on the hotels since nearly 200 people were coming to the wedding. Tommy came into the bathroom after helping and making sure Carl was getting dressed. Kimberly had just finished her shower. Tommy opened his white robe, flashing Kimberly.

"What are you doing!" Kimberly laughed. Tommy did a stupid little dance and pulls her to him, undoing her towel. Tommy smothers her inside his robe. Kimberly giggled as they rocked about. "We have to get ready!" Tommy kisses her. Kimberly moaned, rubbing his face as they kissed passionately. "Shooo!" Kimberly pulled away. "We have to get dressed!" Tommy dropped his robe to the ground. He smiled and walked into the bedroom where his suit was laid out. Kimberly shook her head at her hubby's nicely pale butt. He had gotten the tan that she wanted for the wedding, but with the undies on, it still left that pale butt. Kimberly came into the bedroom after putting back on the robe he dropped. Tommy turned in his boxers. He cupped her belly.

"How is baby Oliver 2?" Tommy asked.

"Kicking up a storm."

"Good girl."

"Or boy," Kimberly said.

"Or boy." They got dressed. Kimberly slid on her white simply stunning dress as Tommy was fixing his hair. It was a bias cut satin faille gown featuring an unforgettable Austrian crystal piece at the base of the back. A daring side slit and a flowing train to complete the look. Kimberly had taken up the mirror for her hair and make-up for the past hour, not allowing him anytime before the mirror. Tommy went to help Carl with his suit. Tommy looked up from the mirror to see Kimberly attempting to bend over to put on her silver shoes. Tommy quickly got down on his knees and helped her. Kimberly smiled.

"Thank you." Tommy did the ankle clasps to her silver shoes. He kissed her leg as he finished.

"You look, amazing."

"I look fat."

"Beautiful." Tommy kissed her.

They arrived to the Cocktail Party with Carl. Only Kim's parents and Tommy's parents had arrived.

"Mommy!" Kimberly's mother rushed to her baby.

"Baby!" They hugged. "Look at you! So radiant and beautiful!" Kim's mother rubbed and kissed her belly before hugging Kimberly again.

"Daddy!" Kimberly hugged her father last.

"Mom, Dad!"

"Son!" Tommy hugged his parents.

"How are you?"

"Good, how was your flight?"

"Good."

"Mrs. Dumas, Mr. Hart," Tommy said to Kim's parents.

"Oh, Tommy, you can cut the Mrs Dumas, you and my baby are married now. It's Mom or Mother."

"Okay Mom." Tommy hugged Kim's mother.

"Hi, new Mom, new Dad." Tommy's parents laughed and hugged Kimberly.

"Is this little Carl?"

"Son, say hello to your grandmas and grandpas," Tommy said.

"Hello." Carl hugged them all and got kisses.

"He has gotten big since Christmas!"

"I have?"

"Yes, you have!" Kim's mother lifted him up and kissed him. "How's my baby boy?"

"Good."

"How about some candy?"

"Candy?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, Mom, he was a bit sick earlier…"

"Nonsense, right baby." Kim's mother took Carl away.

"He's so spoiled."

"How else would he be," Tommy said putting his arm around Kimberly.

Most of the guest arrived within the hour, having arrived by plane, train or car early this morning. Kimberly was being introduced to Tommy's cousins when she saw her brother arrive with his wife and daughter.

"Tim!"

"Hey kiddo!" Kimberly rushed over to him. They hugged. Tommy came over. "Sorry, I couldn't come Christmas."

"It's okay. You're here now. This must be Faith and Melody."

"Hi, we have heard so much about you."

"Good things, I hope," Kimberly said.

"Mostly." Kimberly laughed and took her 5-year old niece. Melody hugged her auntie.

"Hi, baby. Oh, she has gotten too big! Oh, this is Tommy."

"Hi." Tommy put his hand out.

"Brothers don't shake!" Tim gave Tommy a bear hug and lifted him up. Tommy laughed.

"Oh, and is this who I think it is?" Carl appeared behind Kimberly.

"Yes! Carl, say hello your uncle and aunt."

"Hello."

"Hey little Tommy." Tim bent down to Carl. They shook hands.

"Oh, this is Melody, your cousin." Kimberly put her down before Carl. Carl hugged her. Melody giggled as Carl kissed her cheek. "Go take Mel and play outside with the other kids."

"Okay, Mommy." Carl took Melody's hand and they ran outside.

"Boy, she has gotten big!"

"I know, lil sis. So, how is this little one coming on," Tim asked rubbing Kim's stomach.

"It's coming."

Kim's mother found a microphone. Kimberly looked up.

"Oh, good Lordly, who gave that woman a microphone?" Tommy smiled and squeezed Kim's hand.

"Does everyone have a drink? Everyone hold them up high. Welcome, welcome, family and friends! Daniel and I would love to welcome all the guests coming to celebrate my baby girl's wedding on Sunday. And since our couple is already married and this is just a formal ceremony for the families to become accustomed to one another, I want to be the first to welcome our families together for the very first time. So, let us toast to the already bride and groom, may all their dreams continue to come true. And give me another granddaughter!" Everyone laughed. "Cheers!" They all did. Kimberly shook her head.

Friday morning

Tommy woke up to find Kimberly sitting up by the window. He groaned and rose up from his stomach.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Tommy asked.

"Huh, oh, nothing. Just thinking."

"About the wedding?"

"Yeah." Tommy got up and stood behind her, rubbing her shoulders. "And a bouncing baby early in the morning doesn't help."

"Baby awake?" Tommy asked.

"Oh, yeah." Tommy pressed his hand to her stomach as he sat behind her.

"She is active."

"He is," Kimberly said.

"I saw we find out after the wedding."

"I saw we find out like we did with Carl."

"Fine. Fine. Want something, I'm going downstairs."

"No, I'm fine. Are you excited about your bachelor party?"

"Let's see like a 80 guys, a bunch of strippers and endless amount of beer and liquor... sure."

"You can't drink too much tonight. We still have rehearsals tomorrow."

"I know. How about you, you and the girls are playing golf tonight."

"Pub golf, and it's different, besides I can't drink."

"Still, you are getting all the girls…"

"Ladies…."

"Ladies drunk senseless from hopping around bars tonight, and all I get is one club."

"Well, you're just not that special."

"Oh!" Tommy kissed her cheek. "Is that right?"

"Of course." Kimberly giggled as he tickled her. "Stop! Stop!" Kimberly and Tommy tickled each other.

Tommy was about to leave for his party, as Kimberly was waiting for that. Tommy stood between her legs, as she was rubbing his face after they shared many passionate kisses. Kimberly was dressed in a white long tunic with pink pleated mini, purple vest and white go-go boots.

"Don't give the first girl you see that spreads her legs all your dollars." Tommy smiled. "Make them earn it."

"Yes, wife."

"And absolutely no kissing."

"Of course not. I still think Carl should come." Kimberly looked at him as if he had gone crazy.

"I would send him to bed before the strippers came."

"No way. My son is not getting into that environment of rowdy drunk men."

"Hey, not all of us is going to be rowdy," Jason yelled back.

"Oh, I will be," Rocky yelled inside the limo's sunroof.

"You better go."

"I love you."

"I love you too," Kimberly said kissing him. Tommy kissed her cheek one last time before being dragged to the limo. 2 limos drove away from the house and headed to the bachelor party. Kimberly closed the door.

"Okay ladies!" Kimberly pulled up a poster board. "I want everyone to grab a Scoring Card on her way out. Time to party!" The card had all the activities of the night lined up and drinks that would be consuming.

"Woohoo!" All the ladies yelled. Their limos arrived shortly after the boys left. Kimberly and Aisha handed tee shirts to each lady on their way out the house into the limo. 20 ladies, one night filled with fun.

Kimberly sat on the top of her the bar with the ladies all standing before her. She turned to the bartender with her white veil crown pulled aside and nodded to him. He started making drinks.

"Ok, ladies! Listen up! As the bride, I have made foolhardy and perhaps fatal request, that we play Pub Golf tonight, since I can't drink," Kimberly said holding up a shot glass. Aisha took the glass. "Behold hole one. There's a two-stroke penalty for failure to finish a hole and a three-stroke penalty for barfing. Yell "Fore!" before you barf and it's only two strokes. Ready to play?" Every lady smiled and picked up a shot glass. "Ready? To me!"

"To Kimberly!"

"Go!" Everyone but Kimberly took a shot. "Good girls! We got 8 more holes to go and 8 more bars, and different drinks, so in the name of everything sacred, pace yourselves!"

Tommy sat at the table alone, with the other guys watching several girls moving around on top of the bar. Jason laughed and went over to Tommy.

"Bro, what are you doing here?" Jason asked.

"Watching you all drool."

"Come on, this is your party!"

"This party is for you guys, not me. I am already married."

"We all know you got the hottest girl from Angel Grove," Rocky said. "The cutest smile, perky breasts, round bottom…." Tommy pushed Rocky away.

"Don't you dare comment on my wife's butt or breasts!"

"It's a nice butt, be proud."

"It is a nice butt," Jason said.

"See!"

"Go back to your strippers." Tommy handed over another round of ones to Rocky.

"You don't have to tell me twice." Rocky snatched the ones and rushed back to the stage. Tommy was holding Rocky's money, since he seems to be the only so willing to just give his money away quickly.

Kimberly was sitting, rubbing her very rounded stomach. Aisha came over to her and plopped down next to her.

"Having fun?"

"Yes, are you?" Kimberly asked.

"I'm drunk, of course I am having fun." Kimberly smiled. "What's wrong, sweetie?"

"Nothing."

"You can't lie to your maid of honor and older sister."

"By a month!"

"Still, I am older and wiser."

"You got the old part right."

"Come on," Aisha said taking her hand and leading Kimberly outside. The ladies were on their 7th bar drink. They would be leaving shortly for the 8th bar. "Drive, around the block until I say stop."

"Yes, ma'am. So, talk."

"I killed him, Sha."

"Oh, that can't be what's on your mind! You're getting married in like 24 hours!"

"I still did it."

"Hey, he was threatening your family, your life. If it was me, I would have done the same! He deserved whatever he got. He was a monster."

"I know that, but…to take his life. I still sometimes, at night see his face."

"That ugly mug? I'm sorry for that. That was an ugly face."

"And what about Carl? How will all those years with that monster affect him?"

"You haven't seen any effect on Carl in the last 5 months with you guys. I'm pretty sure, he'll be fine."

"I hope so." Aisha put her arm around Kimberly.

"I know so. He's your son, you have too much good in you, girlfriend, as does Tommy. You two were meant to be parents. Carlton Thomas Oliver is going to be just fine." Tommy and Kimberly decided to keep Carlton, since that has been his name, since he would speak. The Edwards didn't change his name when they got him, he was already 7 by then, and has been called Carlton. Kimberly felt Christopher was lost that night, but they had Carl now. Kimberly smiled. Aisha kissed her cheek.

"Thank you. I love you so much, I don't know where I would be without you in my life. You're the sister I always wanted, you and Trini are my true best friends. I never thought I was so lucky until I met Trini to find another friend I found to be my sister, then I met you. What we have is once in a lifetime and I am lucky to have had both of you in my life, especially you." They hugged.

"I am too drunk to be crying, so stop it!" Kimberly laughed. Kimberly saw the others coming out. She opened the sunroof and stood up.

"Ladies, ready for our final 2 stops?" Kimberly yelled.

"Yes!"

"Bacardi 151!"

Kimberly and Aisha were standing through the sunroof, singing to the people walking the streets.

"I'm getting married!"

"She's getting married!" Everyone on the streets cheered them on. The other girls yelling and singing from the windows at anyone they passed. Once all card was filled, Kimberly dropped each lady off at their motel.

"Hydrated before you go to bed," Kimberly warned every lady. "Rehearsal will be at 4, so sleep til noon if you want." Every woman nodded before heading inside their rooms. "This was great. Thanks for the party."

"Of course," Aisha said.

"Do you know why I really love this?"

"Because there is finally a reason for the whole world to revolve around you."

"Exactly, but there is more! I get to share this with my family and friends. Everything is perfect," Kimberly said.

Tommy was lying in bed asleep, when Kimberly came into the bedroom. She stared at her husband before walking over to the bed. Tommy woke up, as she ran her hand down his arm.

"Uh? Oh, baby, you okay?" Tommy asked sitting up a bit.

"Shhhh." Kimberly bent down and kissed Tommy before climbing on him. She straddled his waist. Tommy placed his hands at her waist before sliding up to push her hair aside. Tommy sat them up. He looked at her as he unzipped her boots. Kimberly reached down and slipped him a kiss. She pulled her top off with a sultry smile. Tommy watched her remove his gold ring. She pulled hers off as well and placed them on the table beside their bed.

"Tonight, we're not married."

"Oh, is that right?"

"Yes. Tonight, we're lovers."

"And here I thought we are always lovers." Kimberly cupped his face and kissed him passionately. "I love you, Beautiful."

"I love you too tiger." They kissed slowly as Tommy slowly fell back to the bed. He quickly turned her under him, pulling her skirt and panties off. He kissed her back to the bed, when she tried to move him beneath her. Tommy shoved his boxers off and slid into his past, now and always true love. They made love passionately under the moonlight and starry night.

A wedding, a labor, a family at peace, all that to come guys. Epilogue is next :P
