Kim rubbed her eyes, she was tired and she seemed to be snapping at everyone, it wasn't Inya's fault she didn't feel good and wanted to be held and comforted. Maybe she just needed a break from her, but first, she had to deal with Tommy and Jaslee. Tommy was a grown man he should know better than letting their daughter not go to school just because she didn't want to. Everyone has to do difficult things sometimes and Jaslee was old enough to understand that.
She took a deep breath, she needed to calm down, she didn't understand why she was so crabby, but she needed to get her emotions in check. If she didn't, she would probably do something that she would regret. She needed to figure out what was wrong with her, she was like a spring round to tightly, she felt as though she was about ready to burst. Maybe she needed to spar with Tommy, get some of that action she's been missing.
Maybe I should take the weekend off and visit Jason, she thought to herself as she pulled into the parking lot of the high school, maybe a nice shopping spree with the others would calm my frazzled nerves.
Kim climbed out of the car, shaking her head as she locked it behind her, she needed to get Jaslee to school and get back to the gym, where she had left Zordon tending to the crabby and ill Inya.
Jaslee was waiting in the hallway, sulking, "I don't wanna go to school!" she cried out as soon as she saw her mother.
"Too bad, you have to go to school," she said, snatching the five-year-old's hand in her own and starting to walk towards the door. Jaslee dug in her heels, pulling on her mother, at least she didn't have super strength like Inya, and could be dragged.
"Mommy!" Jaslee shouted, yanking her hand free.
Kim took a deep breath and held it as she counted to ten, yelling at Jaslee wasn't going to change anything, beside's she wasn't really mad at Jaslee, or Tommy, she was just irritated, that was all. She needed to talk to Jaslee, calmly. She kneeled down so she was eye level with Jaslee, "Jaslee," she said as she let out a deep breath, "I know that you don't want to go to school because of what happened yesterday, but sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do."
"You didn't want to marry Luke," Jaslee pointed out, reminding Kim once more that Jaslee was extremely bright, "But it did and it made you unhappy. If you had ignored him and gone to Daddy you would never had been sad."
"But then I wouldn't have you and Ellie and Inya would I?" Kim said with a smirk, "Besides not every time that you do something you don't want to do is it a bad experience. Your uncles, Aunt Trini and I did not want to become power rangers but we did and that was a wonderful experience that we all enjoyed."
"Really?" Jaslee asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes really," Kim said, smiling, feeling lighter already, everything seemed so much better than it had not even two minutes ago. If I didn't know better I'd say that I was pregnant.
"What's wrong Mommy?" Jaslee asked.
"I don't know," Kim stated, grateful that Jaslee was at least now following her to the car.
"Is it because Willow and Z.K. are coming?" Jaslee asked, "You acted like this when Inya was coming too."
Kim unlocked the car, opening the door to the backseat for Jaslee, this wasn't the first time that her five-year-old mentioned Willow and Z.K. but she was still confused as to who they were, "I see, and who are Willow and Z.K?"
"My baby brother and sister silly," Jaslee said as innocent as ever.
Kim climbed into the driver seat, turning the car on and checking to make sure that Jaslee had buckled up in her booster seat before backing up, "Jaslee I know that you want a baby brother or sister, but you already have Inya and Ellie and I'm afraid that that is all you are going to have for siblings."
"But Willow and Z.K. are coming, after the wedding and after Grandma Harmon leaves."
Kim slammed on her brakes a little harder than necessary, "Grandma Harmon?" she asked through gritted teeth, she wasn't sure how to feel about Jaslee mentioning her ex-mother-in-law, she wasn't sure how she felt about Luke's mother who had wanted nothing to do with the family, certain that Kim had destroyed her precious baby boy's chance at the Olympics.
"Yeah, but don't worry, she'll make the mistake of stopping in Angel Grove first."
Kim had to stop herself from laughing, she could just imagine what several residents of Angel Grove would say should a relative of Luke Harmon should show up at their doorstep. She could also name a few that would slowly reach behind them for their morpher.
She shook her head, just because Jaslee knew things she shouldn't doesn't mean that everything she said will be true, after all, she was just a little girl and had a hard time separating fact from fiction. It was after all completely impossible for there to be even one baby let alone two.
"Look Jaslee, I know that you thought you saw Grandma Harmon and babies, but are you sure, you've never met Grandma Harmon and the babies could have been some of your cousins."
