chapter 5:
Everybody was quiet they weren't expecting this.
"You are moving? Where are you going to live?" Tommy asked with a small heart hoping they weren't going to move even further from them.
"We are moving here to Reefside, Ian and I found a great shop to open our second gym and the building is big enough for our first shop. We will sell everything from things for diets to equipment." Kimberly smiled happily, hugging Ian.
Tommy opened his arms to Kimberly, who happily walked into them before he shook hands with Ian. Jason was the next one to congratulate them before the rest of the friends.
"This is wonderful news," Tommy said, his boyfriend nodded in agreement before he asked, "When will you move back here?"
"That's another thing, if you guys agree on this then I will be staying here to help with Tommy and Ian will travel back to Florida to take care of the moving as soon as possible. We already have a manager for our gym there so no problem it's just a question of selling our apartment, while I will look for something here. If I can stay here so long?" Kimberly asked.
Tommy looked at Jason, Kim wasn't Kat but still, Jason had to agree.
"Of course you can stay here, as long as you don't own a gun." Jason quipped. Kim laughed and shook her head.
"One crazy ex-girlfriend is enough for a man's lifetime." Tommy quipped while he pulled Kimberly in his lap. Jason and Ian watching the two friends.
"Thanks, guys," Ian said.
Tommy thought Kim had gained some weight since the last time but he didn't say a thing about it. He knew how Kim her career ended.
Kim still sitting in Tommy's lap looked towards Ian and nodded.
"To be honest, we had another purpose to come here," Ian said.
Kim nodded we have a little gift for Tommy. We already gave Trini hers a few weeks ago. Ian gave the gift to Tommy who opened it. Inside was an ultrasound with a little card attached to it, "Do you want to be my godfather?"
A tear escaped over his cheek before he nodded, "of course, I will." he smiled hugging Kimberly, holding his hand out to Ian.
"Ian, buddy, take good care for both of them or I will come after you wheelchair or not," Tommy said sternly but with a wink.
"I will Tommy, they mean the world to me." Ian smiled lovingly while helping Kimberly from Tommy's lap. Tommy gave the picture to Jason who crouched down next to his boyfriend's wheelchair.
The first red ranger leaned his head against Tommy's shoulder while looking at the picture of the ultrasound. Tommy smiled when he looked at the picture in Jason's hand. He wasn't going to be a father but he still had his Godson or daughter to spoil now.
"We will have some time to spend together, fellow godparent." Trini smiled.
"Yeah, we do. To make sure the child gets anything it needs." Tommy laughed.
"Look out Kimberly, your child is going to be spoiled with these two workings together," Zack said with a smile.
"Welcome to our family, Ian." Aisha smiled.
"Ethan, Haley and I will start to search for Kat tomorrow," Billy said.
"I want to confront her first before she's brought to the cops," Tommy said determinedly.
"Are you sure, baby?" Jason asked a tone of worry in his voice.
"Yes, Jason I am sure and I know the perfect place to do that. The secret ranger monument for Zordon." Tommy said before he sighed, "if you don't mind helping me to that place, honey."
Jason smiled, "Of course I don't mind but I want the rest there too because I need people between me and her."
"We will all be there, Mister S," Connor said.
Rocky agreed, "She will need to face up what she has done"
"We don't do this to family," Adam said.
Trent shook his head, "Not even when you don't agree with certain life choices."
"I am having a break of three weeks from school so I am going to help Jason and Kimberly with Dr. O." Kira smiled.
Tommy smiled at how much everyone was willing to help him.
"I want to thank all of you for what you have done for me, for the adjustments and the party. You all help me to keep the faith that I will walk again." Tommy smiled.
The party continued with stories from the early rangers days. Stories the youngest team was all too glad to hear about. Ian learning more about his girlfriends past. He knew she was a ranger the moment he had found her box with her old morpher and communicator. He had found the secret compartment in her closet by accident. She had told him everything after he had to swear that he wouldn't tell another person outside the ranger family. It made her love her even more. Not because she was an original ranger but because of the responsibility of it that she carried from her teenage years. No being able to tell her loved ones that it was her. Kimberly was the love of his life but he knew he had to share her heart with Tommy Oliver.
He didn't mind that, he knew why she had written the letter. She had been forced by a guy who had threatened to kill her after her accident if she didn't start with him. It was Ian who saved her from that relationship because her abusive boyfriend didn't know was that Ian was a Kickboxer. The young man helped her physically and mentally before they fell in love and moved in together. She also explained why she couldn't tell him before, that she took the vows made to Zordon very seriously.
"So if I understand, Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini were the first five. Shortly after a detour, Tommy became number six?" Ian asked.
Jason nodded, "Tommy took over from me as commander when he became the white ranger. I was confident that I left the team in good hands."
"When did you find out that he was more to you?" Ian asked curiously.
"When I went to Switzerland. I finally understood who I missed the most." Jason smiled.
"It was a few months after the breakup. I had called Jason almost every day that I found myself falling more and more for him. I thought maybe I could forget if I start a relationship with Kat but, besides Kim, my heart belonged to Jason and I don't think she could handle that." Tommy said sadly taking Jason's hand in his.
"Honey, do you mind taking me upstairs? I am getting tired. It's been a long day." Tommy asked his boyfriend.
Jason smiled, " I don't mind, baby. Maybe it's time I went to sleep as well. You are all welcome to stay until tomorrow."
The rest of the group nodded, they had agreed that they would start cleaning up before finding a place to sleep. Haley was going to help them search for a place. She knew where everything was.
Jason took Tommy in his arms in bridal style and carried him to their bedroom. He helped his boyfriend to change and smiled when he finally took his place next to Tommy.
Jason placed his head on his elbow and looked towards his boyfriend. His finger making infinity signs on Tommy's bare chest. Tommy looked at him and smiled, his hands going to Jason's black hair.
Jason closed his eyes and sighed, "I missed this, I missed you."
"I missed you too, rexy." Tommy yawned
"Go asleep now my little dragon. I love you" Jason smiled before he kissed Tommy with all the love he felt.
"Come here my rexy," Tommy said after the kiss and opened his arms. Jason snuggled into his side his head resting on Tommy's chest listening to the sound of his beating heart. Tommy stroked Jason's hair again, "I love you too, rexy." before they both fell asleep.
Tomorrow would be a new day, with new challenges and a woman to search for.
