"Hold Out"

When Kimberly's eyes opened again, it was four hours after the attack at the convent. Her head was pounding as her eyes tried to focus in on her surroundings and she was utterly confused. Just where was she exactly?

When her eyes finally came to, Kimberly was staring up at an all-white ceiling with rows of fluorescent lights hanging from it. She turned her head and took in the rest of her surroundings. There was a giant wooden door across the room. The walls were painted a light, pastel blue and there was one window to her right. There were two living chairs, a counter that held a sink and jars filled with medical supplies, a television mounted on the wall, a few cabinets, another door that led to a bathroom, and the bed that Kimberly was lying in. She was definitely in a hospital.

"You're finally awake." A male voice came.

Kimberly jumped in surprise at the sound of the voice and began searching the room for its owner. Her eyes stopped when she spotted a man walking into the room with a clipboard in his hand. He was wearing a doctor's coat and he was smiling at Kimberly brightly behind the hairs of his furry brown mustache.

"I'm Doctor Reeves." He said as he approached her bed. "I've been taking care of you since the medics brought you in."

A thought suddenly crossed Kimberly's mind and she began to panic. "When I was riding in the ambulance, I had a baby with me. Where is she now?"

"In the nursery." The doctor said. "One of the nurses is tending to her right now. She looks only a few hours old."

"That's because she is." Kimberly said as she let her eyes drop to her blankets.

"Why on earth isn't she being cared for in a hospital?"

"That's a long story Doctor Reeves and I'd really not like to discuss it right now."

"What happened?" he demanded as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Um, I gave a natural birth at the convent." Kimberly lied. She couldn't let this doctor find out about the clinic she and Sister Teressa had fled from. "All of her birth information and everything was taken care of a few weeks ago."

"How?"

"I already talked to a doctor about her birth information. Her certificate is basically filled out already and when I get her back to where I live, her footprints, weight, and everything else will be calculated there."

"Are you sure you don't want to do all of that here? It will only take a few minutes."

"I'm positive." Kimberly said quickly. "I don't want to worry about that right now."

Doctor Reeves nodded as he walked over to the door and opened it to pull a file folder out of the holder. He walked back into the room as he began flipping through it. "You're recovering very well." He said admiringly as he stopped beside her bed. "Your legs are a little weak from walking around so much after birth, but they should feel better within the next couple of days. As for the bullet wound in your arm, no serious damage was done. The bullet barely hit it so you just had a flesh wound. We cleaned it out and wrapped it up for you and it should be completely healed by the end of the week."

"That's great." Kimberly's eyes suddenly widened as her thoughts turned to Zeke's other two victims. "Tommy and Sister Teressa! Where are they? Are they alright?"

Doctor Reeve's face grew serious at the question. "The nun suffered a gunshot to the chest."

"Oh no." Kimberly said as tears came to her eyes.

"Don't worry. The bullet didn't go all the way through so we were able to remove it and stop any serious damage. She's having a few issues breathing so we've got her hooked up to an oxygen tank. She'll recover, thankfully."

"What about Tommy? Please tell me he's alright."

"Tommy has lost a lot of blood through a stab wound in his side. He's also suffered from several injuries. When we prepared to treat the wound, we noticed that he'd previously been bandaged up. A few medics found the wrapping tape back at the convent in a squad car."

"A squad car? There were police officers at the convent?"

"Yes, but they were dead near an apartment complex in the back of the convent."

"Oh no."

"Yes. It was very sad. As for your friend, things aren't looking too good. We almost lost him because he's lost so much blood. He's in stable condition right now, but he isn't waking up."

"Take me to him." Kimberly commanded as she pushed the blankets off her legs.

"I'm sorry Kimberly, but you need to rest right now. I know you're concerned about your friend but you have to think about your health too."

"I don't care about myself right now. The only reason Tommy's lying in here is because of me! He's been trying to protect me and keep me safe for eight months and look what's happened to him because of that! Zeke has taken practically everything away from me and I won't let Tommy be the next."

The doctor sighed and told Kimberly to wait patiently while he went to retrieve a wheelchair.

Angel Grove

Rocky and Tanya were in the diner wiping down tables as they closed up the diner. Tanya's cell phone went off, stopping her work.

"Hello?" she said into the receiver. "Oh, hi Collin. What? No way! Oh my God!"

Rocky looked up from the table and raised an eyebrow at Tanya as she jumped up and down excitedly.

"That's great news!" she laughed. "I can't wait to see her. Alright. I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye."

Tanya flipped her phone closed and turned to Rocky. She smiled at him before walking towards him.

"Katherine just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl!" she exclaimed.

"What?" Rocky said as he dropped the dishrag onto the floor. "But…how!"

"What do you mean how Rocky? She was pregnant, meaning she was bound to have a baby eventually."

Rocky laughed mentally at the thought. Just how did Katherine manage to pull this little scheme of hers off?

"So," he said as he shook the thought from his mind, "what did they name her?"

"Neveah." Tanya said. "Isn't that the most precious name you've ever heard?"

"Yeah." Rocky said. "So, are you heading to the hospital to see her after you get off?"

"I can't. They're all the way in Reefside."

"Reefside? But that's four hours from here."

Tanya shrugged as she continued to wipe tables down. "I know. Katherine's doctor has a clinic there so I'm guessing that's where she had the baby."

Rocky grew angry at the news as he bent over to retrieve the dishrag. He was going to be having a nice chat with Katherine when she got back.

Reefside Memorial Hospital

Kimberly felt nervousness in the pit of her stomach as Doctor Reeves wheeled her down the hall towards Tommy's room. When he stopped her in front of his door she could literally hear her heart beating in her ears. She was going to lose it when she saw him and she knew it. Doctor Reeves grabbed hold of the door handle and pushed the door open revealing a nurse leaning over a machine by the bed. She was blocking Kimberly's view of Tommy, so that made the former Pink Ranger even more nervous.

"Here we are." Doctor Reeves announced as the door closed behind him. The nurse over at the monitor looked up and was surprised to see Kimberly and Doctor Reeves.

"Doctor?" she said. "What's going on?"

"Kimberly would like to see Mr. Oliver." He stated simply. "I'm giving her permission to be alone with him."

"Oh, alright then. I was just checking over his vitals. Nothing's changed."

"I was afraid of that." He sighed. "Alright then Kimberly, let's get you over to the bed."

Kimberly nodded as she was wheeled over to Tommy. Tears sprang to her eyes at the sight of him. Tommy's hair was no longer in a ponytail. It was fanned out around him as he lay on the bed pale as a ghost. Kimberly burst into tears as she grabbed onto his hand and held it.

"We'll leave you alone for ten minutes." Doctor Reeves said. "After that, I'm going to take you back to your room."

Kimberly nodded as she continued to cry. Doctor Reeves and the nurse left the room and she looked up to stare at Tommy's pale face.

"Tommy, I'm so sorry." She cried. "This is all my fault. You got hurt protecting me from Zeke."

Kimberly stared at Tommy wishing that he'd open her eyes and claim that he was fine. However, he wasn't showing any signs of moving.

"I don't understand." She said. "Why won't you open your eyes like you did earlier? If it wasn't for you waking up long enough to tell me about your pen, Zeke would've shot me. You helped me then Tommy and I need your help now. I need you to stay alive and I need you to come back to me. You're the greatest friend anyone could ever have and you're a damn good agent. You're amazing Tommy. I mean…at first, things weren't so peachy between us, but things are getting much better. At least I think so. We can sit in the same room for days at a time and not get on each other's nerves."

Kimberly's tears continued to fall as she stared at him. "I want you to meet my daughter." She said. "You know what? In a way, she's kind of your daughter too. I mean, no, you didn't help me conceive her, but you were here with me throughout the entire pregnancy rubbing my back and my feet when they were sore, getting me food when I was hungry, putting up with my mood swings, and being there for me when I always felt lonely. You did more for me than Collin ever did when I was pregnant with Jacob. Sure, you did admit to me that babies weren't your thing, but I think you warmed up to them. You kept my pregnancy a secret even though it can cost you your job. That's a risk you were willing to take for me and I don't know how I can repay you for that. Please Tommy. You have to wake up."

The minute the words left Kimberly's lips, a c-note filled the room, making Kimberly's heart stop. Her eyes darted to the heart monitor beside Tommy's bed where a single line was on the green screen. It was a flat line, meaning his heart was beating.

"Oh God! Tommy!"

Angel Grove

Rocky sighed as he and Tanya finished stacking the last chairs. They looked around, pleased with their cleanup job before high-fiving each other.

"We're finally finished." Rocky sighed. "Thank the Lord."

"Right on time too." Tanya laughed. "Now, I can finally go home and go to bed after working this twelve hour shift."

Rocky laughed. "Hey, you're getting more hours than the other employees because we're good friends, so quit complaining."

Tanya smiled. "I'm gonna go grab my coat and purse. Did you need anything from the back room?"

"My helmet and jacket." He said as he pulled his apron off and tossed it on the hook.

"I'll grab it for you then."

Rocky nodded as Tanya disappeared to the back room. As soon as she was gone, his mind turned back to Katherine and the fact that she'd managed to pull of one of the most insane plans he'd ever heard of. She'd miscarried seven months ago, pretended to be pregnant for the rest of her "pregnancy," and she'd managed to get a baby for the grand finale. She was one twisted woman regardless of the way he felt about her.

Suddenly, a pounding sounded at the door. Rocky looked up and spotted Adam, Jason, Trini, and Billy standing outside the glass door. Rocky raised an eyebrow as he walked over to them and unlocked the door.

"Hey guys." He said. "I just got finished closing up so I hope you aren't here to eat."

"Adam?" Tanya said as she appeared. "What are you doing here?"

"We have great news." Adam said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Trini beamed as she clapped her hands excitedly. "Adam just got the best news ever!"

Rocky crossed his arms over his chest as he awaited an explanation as to why they were all in his restaurant.

"Kimberly's coming home." Adam said.

Rocky's eyes widened in surprise. That definitely wasn't what he was expecting to hear. Tanya gasped at the news.

"Seriously?" she said.

Adam nodded. "Kimberly gave her statement to the police in Reefside. Zeke had killed two police officers and an FBI agent and he'd seriously injured Kim's bodyguard and the nun at the convent she was placed at. Kimberly held Zeke off and sliced a chandelier's rope, sending it crashing on top of Zeke. He's in hospital and so are the rest of his victims. Zeke will be sent to jail as soon as he recovers and Kimberly will be released in about two days. She'll be coming home soon after that."

Rocky and Tanya laughed happily at the news. Kimberly was finally coming home. Rocky's smile faded as a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

"Did you just say Reefside?" he said.

Adam nodded. "Yep."

"That's strange."

"What's wrong Rocky?" Billy asked.

Rocky turned to Tanya. "Isn't Reefside where Katherine and Collin are right now?"

Tanya nodded. "Now that you've reminded me, yeah."

"What the hell are they doing there?" Jason asked suspiciously. "Do they know where Kimberly is?"

"I don't think so. Collin just called me saying that Katherine's doctor has a clinic there where she delivered her baby."

"Katherine had the baby?" Trini asked. "Wow."

"Yeah, I know."

"Let's worry about her some other time. Right now, we need to plan a welcome home party for Kim!"

"That sounds like a wonderful idea." Tanya agreed.

"Let's go then." Billy said as they all slowly filed out.

Rocky lingered behind in the diner for a few minutes as he thought over all of the information he'd just been told. Katherine was seeing a doctor in Reefside where Kimberly's been located all this time. Something wasn't right, and he knew that without a doubt.

Reefside Memorial Hospital

Kimberly was lying in her hospital bed holding her daughter as she stared straight ahead at the wall. Her mind was trying to wrap around the fact that Tommy could be dying and it was practically her fault. The baby in her arms began to squirm as it whimpered sadly. Kimberly hushed the little girl as she held her to her chest and gently rubbed her back. The baby's whimpers died and were replaced with slow, even breaths.

Kimberly blinked a few tears free as she thought about Tommy again. Since when had he become the main focus of her thoughts? Usually, she was consumed by the thoughts of Collin figuring out her secret and about how much she missed her son, friends, and home. Now, none of those things mattered. Tommy was the only important thing to her and if he wouldn't pull through this and live, she didn't know what she was going to do.

Suddenly, a knock sounded the door as Doctor Reeves walked into the room.

"How's Tommy?" Kimberly asked quickly.

Doctor Reeves stared at Kimberly sympathetically. "Kimberly I'm so sorry…"
