"Mission Accomplished"

Katherine smiled happily as the Ignalis Mansion came into view. It was standing proud and tall at the top of its hill as it stared out into the horizon. Ignacio drove the family limo through the front gates and parked right in front of the steps. Collin thanked him before hopping out and walking around to the other side to let his wife and their darling daughter out. Katherine wrapped her little girl in her baby blanket as she stepped out of the limo's opened door. She then proceeded to walk up the front steps with Collin right behind her.

"It's so good to be home." She said as they reached the front door.

"Indeed it is. Need I remind you darling, we could've come home two days ago but you wanted to stay at the clinic."

"I just wanted to ensure that everything was okay with Neveah Collin. Afterall, most mothers don't leave the hospital for a few days after they've given birth."

Collin smiled as he pushed the front door open. Colleen and several other staff members were standing in the hallway when the couple and their new baby walked in. There were several congratulations and squeals at the sight of the little girl.

"What's her name?" one of the maids asked.

"Neveah." Katherine said with a smile.

"It's so cute! I love it Katherine."

Katherine thanked the woman as she and Collin made their way up the grand staircase in the hall. When they reached the top of the steps, Mr. Ignalis and his wife were waiting for them.

"My boy." Mr. Ignalis greeted Collin as he gave his son a giant bear hug. Mrs. Ignalis went over to her darling granddaughter and begin pinching her cheeks like most grandmothers do. The baby shuddered at her touch making her raise an eyebrow.

"Cute baby." She complimented. "She looks an awful lot like her father when he was an infant."

"You said the same thing when Jacob was born." Her husband commented with a roll of his eyes.

"Well, it's the truth dear. He's the spitting image of him."

"Do you think she looks like Katherine?" Mr. Ignalis asked as he studied the child's face.

Katherine held her daughter closer to her chest and turned to walk towards the nursery.

"Now look what you've done." Collin scolded his parents. "You've upset her."

"Whatever for?" his father demanded. "I simply asked a question. Do you think the baby looks like her mother?"

Collin sighed. "No, Neveah doesn't resemble Katherine at this point. But who knows? She may develop some of her behaviors or her facial structure the older she gets. Remember how Jacob didn't look a thing like Kimberly until he was six months old?"

Mrs. Ignalis nodded. "Yes. For a second, I thought the baby was switched at birth or something."

The three of them laughed as Katherine sighed nervously as she turned a corner at the end of the hallway. Why must they bring Kimberly up? She was trying her hardest not to think about the irritating brunette.

Katherine stopped at the end of the hallway near Jacob's room. She peeked inside and noticed that the little boy was nowhere in sight. She shrugged and walked into the room to the left of his. The room had creamy, yellow walls with a light-lavender colored trimming. There was a border of purple butterflies right below the purple trimmings. There were two large windows covered with white see-through curtains a giant purple rug in the center of the wooden floor, a space heater in the corner near a wooden rocking chair, a book case, a changing table, several decorations, a toy box, and a beautiful crib with a white-lace canopy hanging above it. Katherine smiled as she walked further into the nursery and laid her new daughter in the crib.

"So little one?" she smiled at the little girl. "What do you think of your new room? It's a lot better than that drafty clinic isn't it?"

Neveah started to kick her feet playfully at the sound of her mother's voice. Katherine giggled as she leaned over the crib and held out her index finger. Neveah took the finger and held onto it tightly.

"So far so good…" she muttered. "Everything's going perfectly, minus the fact that this beautiful little angel has Kimberly's eyes."

Katherine practically jumped out of her skin when a knock sounded at the door. She looked up and raised an eyebrow, remembering that she hadn't even shut the door. She smiled at the sight of her visitor. Tanya was standing in the doorway holding a stuffed pink rabbit.

"Well hey there momma." Tanya smiled.

Katherine and Tanya squealed as Tanya walked into the room to hug her friend. "I got you something." Tanya admitted as she held the rabbit out for Katherine.

"Oh Tanya," Katherine smiled as she took the toy, "it's so adorable! Neveah's gonna love it."

"Neveah huh? That's such a pretty name Kat."

"Thanks."

"So, how was the labor? It couldn't have been worse than having twins."

Katherine smiled as she developed an explanation in her head. "Well, I went into labor on my way to the clinic for my next checkup. I tried calling Collin, but I figured what was the point? It's not like he could get to me in time. I finished the drive and made it to the clinic just in time. The labor was very quick. A little painful, but I managed. It only took two hours to deliver."

"Two hours? That's impressive. It took me a whopping eighteen."

Katherine laughed. "I remember. Adam's face was purple when he came out the delivery room."

The two women started giggling at the memory.

"Well, at least the little princess arrived safely." Tanya smiled as she stroked Neveah's cheek. "She looks an awful lot like Collin. It's the curls."

Katherine sighed. "I know. They must be a trademark. So, what are you doing here? I didn't even tell you I was back."

"Well, I came by a few days ago when Collin told me you two were coming back but neither of you were here. So I called him last night and he said you were coming in today instead. So I rushed right over."

"Well I'm glad you're here." Katherine smiled as she hugged her. "Who better to spend my first day back at home with than my best friend?"

Safe House

Kimberly sighed sadly as she finished stuffing her last item of clothing into her suitcase. She looked up and did one final look around the room to make sure her eyes hadn't missed something. When no stray items were seen, she zipped her suitcase up. A few seconds passed before the door swung open revealing Tommy carrying Grace. Kimberly smiled at the two of them.

"How was she?" Kimberly asked with a smile.

Tommy looked up to smile back at her. "She was a perfect little angel." He complimented. "She's a newborn so there isn't too much she can do to cause havoc."

Kimberly laughed as she pulled her suitcase off the bed. The room then grew silent as she frowned.

"What's on your mind Kim?" he asked.

"I just now thought about something and I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. How am I supposed to explain to everyone back home that I have a baby?"

Tommy's eyes narrowed as he pondered the question. "That's something you need to think about." He said. "You've spent all this time keeping it a secret from everyone but three of your friends."

"I need a good explanation and I can't come up with one right now."

Tommy suddenly smiled as a thought hit him. "I've got it." He said. "Why don't you leave her here?"

"Are you insane?" Kimberly laughed. "I can't leave Grace here with no one to look after her."

"Who said no one was going to look after her?"

Kimberly raised an eyebrow as she folded her arms across her chest. "What are you getting at Agent Oliver?"

"Look, I know I told you I was going to take a leave of absence from the bureau after I was released from the hospital, right?"

Kimberly nodded as she remembered their conversation from a few days ago. "Right. You said you were going to visit your older brother in Arizona. What does that have to do with this?"

"Well, I've been given a two month vacation from the agency so I was thinking that maybe I could stay here at the convent to watch Grace until you come up with a cover story?"

Kimberly's eyes widened at the suggestion. "Oh, wow Tommy. I don't know what to say. Are you sure you wouldn't mind?"

"Positive."

"But, are you up for the job? I mean, babies are a big responsibility. You'd have to put up with the crying, checking for occasional illnesses, keeping her happy, and oh no! There's the fact that I'm breastfeeding her. Lord knows you aren't capable of doing that."

"Kimberly, it's fine. And besides, I've heard that not all babies have to be breastfed. You can just start her on formula a little early."

Kimberly sighed. Tommy was absolutely right. "Alright then. Thank you Tommy. For everything you've done for me."

"No problem Kim."

The two of them smiled at each other but looked away when knocks sounded at the door. Tommy walked over to the other side of the couch, where Kimberly had placed a baby car seat, and quickly laid Grace inside so the officers wouldn't see her. He then walked over to the door and opened it to let them inside. The commander from the Angel Grove Police department walked inside with Adam. Kimberly squealed at the sight of her old teammate and ran over to him to give him a hug.

"Adam!" she exclaimed when she let go. "You came to pick me up?"

"Hey, I dropped you off remember? Why shouldn't I be the one to pick you up?"

Kimberly laughed as she hugged him again. "It's so good to see you."

"Likewise."

When Kimberly released him again, Adam walked over to Tommy. "Agent Oliver." He said as he shook his hand. "It's nice to finally meet you in person."

"Yeah." Tommy smiled. "Likewise."

"Thank you so much for taking care of Kimberly. She's one of my closest friends."

"Actually, she did a pretty good job protecting herself. She's quite the fighter."

"Believe me Tommy, I know."

"Well Ms. Hart?" the commander's voice came from the doorway. "Are you ready to come home to Angel Grove?"

Kimberly glanced at Grace sleeping in the car seat before looking back at the commander. "I'm ready." She said.

Tommy grabbed Kimberly's suitcase and followed the two officers to the door. Kimberly quickly bent down beside the couch and placed a kiss on Grace's forehead. "I love you Grace." She said. "I'll be back soon to get you. I promise."

"Come on Kimberly." The commander's voice boomed in the hall. "We have a four hour drive ahead of us."

"Coming." Kimberly called out to him. She leaned down to kiss Grace one final time before jumping to her feet and running out to the hallway.

When Kimberly got out to the hall, the commander was halfway to the staircase with her suitcase in hand. Adam was standing beside Tommy chatting away about the case.

"So, I guess your mission's accomplished then." Adam smiled.

Tommy nodded. "Yeah. I get a two month vacation to get a little rest so I can recover. I'm going to be here in the safe house for a few more days though before taking off."

"That's good. Well then, I guess I'll be seeing ya Tommy."

The two of them shook hands as Adam started to walk off. "You coming Kim?" he called over his shoulder.

"Right behind you." She smiled before turning to look at Tommy.

Tommy was smiling at her when they're eyes met.

"Well Tommy…" she said quietly. "It's…finally time."

"Yeah." He nodded. "I guess it is."

Silence overcame them for a few short moments before Kimberly spoke again. "Please watch over my daughter. And…take care of yourself. I'll really miss you."

"Yeah. I'll miss you too."

Kimberly wrapped her arms around Tommy's waist, careful not to put pressure on the bandages beneath his shirt, and hugged him. Tommy wrapped his arms around her too, sealing their hug and rested his head on hers.

"You truly were the toughest, yet the greatest case I've ever had to work on." He joked.

Kimberly laughed, shaking in his arms. "You can go back to the agency and tell everyone about it."

The two of them smiled as Kimberly looked up at him, being that she was the shortest between the two. Tommy bent down and kissed her forehead.

"See you around beautiful." He smiled.

"Bye handsome." She smiled sadly as they pulled apart.

Kimberly waved at Tommy before following Adam down the hall. Just as she reached the steps, she looked over her shoulder one final time. Tommy waved at her before disappearing into the apartment. Kimberly turned away and swallowed tears that almost came to life before walking down into the dark tunnel.

The Ignalis Mansion: Four Hours Later

"Collin." Mr. Ignalis called to his son from his study. "Collin!"

Mr. Ignalis furrowed his brow when he could hear his son groan in irritation down the hall. Collin appeared in the doorway a few seconds later.

"What is it father? I'm busy trying to take care of Neveah while Katherine's talking to Tanya."

"She's still here?"

"Yes father, she is. Now what in God's name do you want?"

"I take it you haven't heard?" he said.

Collin stared at his father questioningly. "Heard what?"

"Kimberly's on her way home."

Collin's expression turned to one of surprise at the news. "What? How do you know this?"

"You obviously haven't read the local paper son. It's been on the front page for the past two days. Kimberly took out the guy that was after her."

"She killed him?"

"Of course not you buffoon. She simply immobilized him long enough for him to be arrested. She's on her way back as we speak."

Collin seemed to jump into action at the news. "I can't believe it! I can't wait to see her."

"Uh, son? Aren't you forgetting something? You're over her, remember?"

Collin regained his composure at his father's words. "Just because I'm over her father, that doesn't mean I don't care about her. I want to see for myself that she's alright. Besides, she's gonna have to come see me at some point during the day. Jason dropped Jacob off a few hours ago so he could meet his baby sister."

Mr. Ignalis smirked. "I can't believe you. You're such a naughty boy."

Collin laughed. "What on earth are you talking about?"

"You're with one woman while you're still pining after another. It's pitiful."

Collin's face turned a deep shade of crimson as he balled his fists at his sides. "I am not pining after her you old bastard! I don't know how many times I have to tell you that!"

Mr. Ignalis began to roar with laughter as he slapped his hand on his desktop. His son was in such a state of denial that he found it humorous. Collin growled before disappearing into the hall.

Billy's House

"Thank you so much for bringing me here Adam." Kimberly smiled. "I really appreciate it."

"No problem Kim. You have a wonderful reunion with the others. I'll be back by after I get off work."

"Right. See you later then."

Kimberly pulled her suitcase out of the backseat of the cruiser and walked up the walkway of Billy's house. She smiled when she spotted her car parked in front of Billy's. As Adam's cruiser pulled away from the curb, she waved at him before turning to the doorbell. She pressed it and waited patiently for someone to answer. It only took two seconds before she heard footsteps running on the other side of the door. A few seconds later, the door flew open revealing Jason. Kimberly burst into tears at the sight of her older brother. Jason crushed Kimberly in a giant hug as he held onto her tightly.

"You're back." He whispered as he rocked the two of them back and forth. Kimberly nodded into his chest as she dropped her suitcase to the ground. When Jason pulled away from her, Kimberly forced a smile through her tears.

"I'm back." She agreed. "And I plan to stay."

Jason laughed before looking over his shoulder. "Guys! Kim's here!"

Kimberly squealed happily as Trini and Billy appeared. The two of them welcomed her home with hugs and sighs of relief before ushering her into the house.

"We read the newspaper article." Trini said as they walked into Billy's living room. "You really took down Zeke?"

"I did." Kimberly smiled. "Well…with a little help. The agent that was hired to protect me was conscious long enough to give me a little advice. You guys, I'm telling you…I was more scared of Zeke than I've ever been in my life. While I was defending myself against him, I tried to imagine that he was just one of Rita and Zedd's monsters. It made the whole situation more terrifying."

"Is that even possible?" Trini asked. "Fighting against Zedd and Rita's monsters were terrifying enough for me."

Kimberly shook her head. "They can't even begin to compare with the fear of having a murderer in your presence."

Everyone laughed as Kimberly took a seat on the couch. Billy looked and Kimberly and noticed something odd.

"Uh, Kim?"

"What's the matter Billy?"

"You look rather small for someone who's supposed to be nine months pregnant."

Trini and Jason looked back at Kimberly as they recalled the information as well.

"That's right." Jason said. "What's going on Kim?"

Kimberly sighed as she patted her now empty belly. "I had the baby." She admitted with a shrug.

"Then where is it?" Billy asked. "You didn't leave it in Adam's cruiser did you?"

Kimberly giggled. "Of course not. She's back at the convent."

Jason, Trini, and Billy stared at Kimberly with wide eyes.

"Why the hell did you leave your baby at the convent?" Jason demanded. "Explain. Now."

Kimberly sighed. "I had the baby the same day that Zeke was arrested."

Trini raised an eyebrow. "How did that work out for ya?"

Kimberly giggled as she went on to explain everything that had happened from Tommy's disappearance, to her labor starting, to the birth of Grace, and her escape back to the convent. Billy and her other two friends listened to her story attentively, occasionally stopping her to ask questions.

"And that's when Tommy came up with the decision that he should stay at the safe house and watch Grace until I can come up with an explanation to get her back to Angel Grove."

Jason ran a hand over his face as he tried to process the information. "Tommy sounds like a pretty nice guy." He said. "It was a good idea for him to watch Grace until you could get her."

Kimberly nodded. "I'm eternally grateful to him. He's…the best guy I know."

"Hey!" Jason said as he placed a hand on his chest. "What am I? Chopped liver?"

"Okay." Kimberly laughed. "He's the second best next to Jason."

Trini and Billy laughed. Suddenly, Kimberly gasped.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked.

"Trini?" Kimberly said, pointing at her friend's finger. "Is that…an engagement ring?"

Trini blushed as she nodded. "Jason proposed to me on New Years."

Kimberly squealed as she hugged the two of her friends. "Everything's falling into place." She smiled. "I'm home, I know that Grace is safe, two of my best friends are getting married, and I'm home! Now all that's left for me to do is to see Jacob. Where is he?"

Jason sighed. "With Collin."

"What the heck Jason? I thought Adam told you all that I was coming back. Why did you send him over to his father's?"

"Katherine just had her baby too." Billy said. "She was born the same day that you had Grace."

"That's weird." Kimberly said. "Who would've thought…?"

"I'll head over there with you to pick him up." Jason said. "You're going to love seeing him again."

"I bet he doesn't even remember me." Kimberly said sadly.

"I wouldn't say that." Trini said with a smile. "We did everything we could to make sure he'd never forget you."

Kimberly smiled. "Alright then. Let's go and get Jacob."

The Ignalis Mansion

Katherine stood on the top steps outside the mansion as she waved after Tanya's car. As soon as it was out of sight, she turned to walk back inside. However, the sounds of an approaching engine could be heard. Perhaps Tanya had forgotten something? Katherine turned around and gasped as Rocky's motorcycle pulled into the driveway.

"Rocky?" she said as she walked down the steps.

Rocky cut the bike's engine off and removed his helmet as Katherine's feet touched the ground. He set the helmet on top of the seat and turned to face her as he folded his arms over his chest.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I came to get some answers Kat."

"About what exactly?"

"I want answers to every lie that you've told since you miscarried that night at the lodge."

Katherine felt her heart sink into the pit of her stomach at Rocky's words. She wasn't going to like this conversation and she knew it.
