The next morning, Kim is standing in the Scott's living room, looking outside their bay window and drinking something out of a tea mug. Kim sighs as she watches birds fly pass. Kim turns away and looks at the pictures that are sitting on Trini's piano. Jason and Trini moved into there new home about about three months ago, and they have just started putting pictures up. Kim smiles at a picture of Jason and Trini holding her girls in the hospital for the first time. Kim picks it up and looks at her daughters.
Kim:(thinking)I do not understand how my life was so prefect almost three years ago and now it just feels like the end(sighs)but I'm going to keep it together for my little girls. I have too(puts the picture down and another picture catches her eye)(thinking)I've never seen this before(picks up the photo frame and it is two pictures in one. The pictures are of Tommy, Jason and Trini, who, are standing in front of "The Scott's Old" home smiling and holding boxes. The first picture, is when Jason and Trini first moved to Kansas. The other picture is from when they moved out. Tommy and Jason both have their hand on Trini's then small baby bump. All three of them are smiling)(mumbles)He cut his hair…hmm(Kim stares him down. Trini walks in wearing jogging pants and a sweat shirt. She stares at Kim as she looks at the photo)
Trini:(softly)Kim(Kim looks at Trini)Good morning
Kim: morning(Trini waddles over to her)
Trini: How are you?
Kim: I'm a little tired but I'll be ok(Trini looks at what she is looking at and smirks)oh?(smiles and puts down the picture)he cut his hair.
Trini: Yeah(crosses her arms)said he was looking for a grown up look(Kim giggles a little)
Kim: He does look older(looks Trini up and down)You look cute!
Trini: Thanks(sighs)I feel swollen!(Kim rubs her stomach)I can only fit exercise clothes. Good thing I start maternity leave next week. I can't keep paying Karen to take my suits out. It's costing me a fortune.
Kim: Yeah I bet(frowns a little)Hey, you do hide the pictures of me and the twins when Tommy comes?
Trini: I do! But we barely see Tommy(walks over to the couch and sits)The picture that you looked at was the first time we saw him in two years(Kim nods and sits across from her)Don't worry Kim, your twins are total secrets(mumbles)it's not like he ask about you anyways(Trini looks at Kim who looks surprised)
Kim: oh(sips her drink)
Trini: Kim(sighs)I'm sorry! I woke up on the wrong side of the bed(rubs the back of her neck)He does ask about you but nothing too personal. He knows we won't go into much detail about your life.
Kim: oh!(laughs a little)well it's ok if he doesn't ask. I don't ask about him.
Trini: You should(smiles at her)I know you still care for him. Even if you want to deny it.
Kim: I do(stops)I do care! I don't want anything bad to ever happen to Tommy.
Trini: I know you don't(Jason walks in the room and they look at him. He is dressed up in sweats as well)
Jason: Morning ladies!(walks over and kisses Trini's head)
Trini: Morning babe!
Kim: Morning Jason(smiles)what are you dressed up for?
Jason: um its(walks over and sits on the couch with Kim)moving day Kim(wraps his arm around her)remember?(Kim frowns a little)
Kim: No I haven't(sips her drink)I don't even know where to put my stuff?
Jason: Don't worry Kim! My job has a couple of storage units and I have a moving truck ready.
Kim: Moving truck?
Trini: How big is your storage?
Jason: Enough to fit whatever she wants to put in it(Kim sips her drink)What are you drinking?(Kim nods nothing. Jason and Trini look at each other)Let me see(Kim nods no and Jason snatches it)Kim(sniffs it and moves her hands away)mm a hot tottie?
Trini:(shocked)Kim!(Kim sighs and stands)
Kim: Don't judge me(holds herself)my world turned upside down in less then 24hrs. I had a happy family(Trini and Jason look at each other)well not that happy but "ok" family. I had a house, I had my own room and I had a husband(sits down and covers her face)My life was almost prefect up until yesterday.
Trini: Kim(softly)your life was a lie(stands and walks over to her)and now it's time to live in your truth. It might seem horrible but at least it's honest(sits on the other side of her) That's more respectful and deserving then a lie(holds her)and you know that.
Kim: You're right(groans) I just don't feel like dealing with this.
Trini: Kim I know(rubs her back)but it's also not a time to go numb and go into a depression.
Jason: Kim everything will be ok(touches her shoulder)Soon you'll get into your normal routine and this will not be so big(puts her drink down)Those girls need you(Kim nods)
Trini: Don't give Donald a reason for the court to question your parenting because you have fallen in a depression or a drinking binge.
Kim:(grumbles) I'd kill him!(shakes her head)Guys I still need time to process this. No offense to you two….but none of you have been through this.
Jason: No we haven't Kimberly! But did your mother ever fall into a depression?
Kim: Not that I know of! My mom made the best life for my brother and I! She was so strong and put together after her and my dad split.
Jason: Maybe you should call your mom!
Trini: I agree with Jason!(touches her stomach)because Kim we both know those babies deserve a new happy life, with no mommy and daddy arguments.
Kim: Your right! It hurts them every time that we do. Emily has nightmares. I just don't know what to tell my girls.
Jason: That daddy is on Santa's naughty list(Kim now chuckles, sits up and hits him)
Kim: shut(laughs)up! I will not say that
Trini: Maybe your mom will know what to say!
Kim: Yeah! I'll call her in a few hours. It's five am over there(shrugs)She never liked Donald. I should've listened to her last year. She told me he was showing behavioral signs that my dad showed her(shivers a little)oh well soft head makes for a soft behind(sighs)Thanks you guys for listening(looks at Jason)Jason….Trini I don't think I want anything from that house. He can keep it?
Trini: What do you mean?(Kim looks at her)
Kim: Everything in the house will remind me of what Davis probably had sex on when he was with the bimbo. For example my bed, my couch, my tables(shivers)the bastard
Trini: That he is(softly)However, what happens when you move into a new home?
Kim: I'll buy new stuff! New stuff for our new life.
Trini: Some of that stuff is from your family. Rugs, side tables, picture frames, the girls bedding.
Kim: I'm not opening up a new shop anytime soon(sighs)If I save about two more checks….I can have a new house by next month.
Jason: Kim what about your family house? I thought you were going to move back into the house you grew up in.
Kim: No!(scratches her chine)I don't want to up root the family that is living there now. They deserve a chance to sign the lease again. Besides I want to move to somewhere new.
Trini: That's fine! But, Kim you don't need to take money from your gymnastics center. That's what the spousal support will be for.
Kim: Honestly, I don't want anything from him. I thought about it and the only thing I want him to do is take care of his children.
Trini/Jason: You're getting your stuff Kimberly(Kim jumps)
Jason: There is no need to be passive aggressive. Look you married him right?(Kim sighs)So half or more is only right. You put more than half into your marriage. So you will get what you deserve. I don't care if you sell, burn or keep it. We're getting some stuff(clears his voice)I'll call Rico(stands up)tell him to get a smaller truck. Kim be ready in ten minutes(Jason walks out before she can object. Kim looks at Trini)
Trini: Sorry Kim(stands with the help of Kim)I agree with him.(Kim plays with her fingers)At least get some stuffed animals for the kids. We want to make it as normal as possible with Davis being a huge impact then he already is. Also Kimberly spousal support will help take care of you guy's kids. When you are financially good and have a roof over your head, so do they. You didn't make them alone Kim so you don't need to do this alone. Don't feel guilty about getting what you deserve.(Kim nods)I'll check on your food(takes the mug off the table)and you should be ashamed of yourself(Kim goes to answer)liquor for breakfast(goes to walk out when the doorbell rings)must be Zach(to Kim)Can you get that?(walks to the kitchen)
Kim:(mumbles)Seeing as how I don't have a choice mom(stands up, stretches and heads for the door)(calls)what is he doing here?
Trini:(calls)Breakfast on the weekends(Kim nods)
Kim:(thinking)I forgot it was Sunday(walks over to the door and opens it. There stands Zach with a warm smile)(smiles)hey Zach
Zach: Hey Kimmy(he walks in and they hug)I'm surprised to see you! How are you?
Kim: I'm(kisses his cheek)I'm living(they pull away and Zach closes the door)
Zach: Living is always good(Kim frowns remembering he just lost Angela about three months ago. Zach still has a small scar above his right eye as a reminder.)
Kim: Zach(touches his face. He slowly smiles)
Zach: I'm ok(takes her hand and kisses it. Kim smiles)So where are my nieces?
Kim: Their grandparents(Trini waddles in)
Zach: There is(walks over)my favorite pregnant girl(pulls her in a hug and kisses her cheek)How are you?(Trini laughs and kisses his cheek)
Trini: I'm pregnant(they pull away)I feel miserable and great at the same time(Kim laughs)
Zack: Sorry I asked(laughs)I guess!(rubs her stomach)Morning little man(they watch her stomach move. Trini smiles uncomfortably)there is my little man!
Trini: You always get him riled up Zach(rubs her stomach and moves away from Zach)
Zach: Sorry Tree(smiles) He loves his Uncle Zach! He knows it's going to be a party!(Kim laughs)
Kim: Zach made Amy do the same(glares playfully)thing when she was in my womb! Now that they are out. I'm starting to think it was Emily who got a kick out of her Uncle Zack(They laugh)
Trini: ow!(they watch as Trini's stomach moves all around)Ow!(laughs) would you calm down son?
Kim:(amused)He is really going for it(nudges Zach)good going Zach!
Zach:(sheepishly)I guess he missed me and wants to dance(Jason now walks in)
Jason: Kim be ready to go in(stops when he sees Zach)(smiles)morning bro!(walks over and they hug)
Zach: Good morning(they pull away)Where are you two headed?(looks between Kim and Jason)and why are you wearing night clothes Kim?(she bites her lip)and you kind of smell like booze!
Kim: Jeez(laughs uncomfortably)thanks Zach(everyone becomes silent as he crosses his arms)that's because I was drinking.
Zach: You never drink in the morning(touches her arm)What's going on?(slowly)Why are you really here Kim?
Trini:(loudly)ow!(They look at her and Jason quickly steadies her)
Jason: what?(panicked)What is it?!
Trini: Zach woke the baby and now he thinks it's dance party time in there(Jason chuckles and looks at Zach. Zach smirks and shrugs)
Zach: Sorry! Didn't know I had that effect.
Trini: Sure!(mumbles)I need to lay down. Can someone watch breakfast?
Zach: I'll do it(scratches his chin)It's the least I can do.
Kim: I'll help….You know how Zach burns bacon.
Zach: Not burn….it's just crispy girl(Kim rolls her eyes and they head for the kitchen. Jason laughs and leads his wife to the couch. Trini sits then lays on her back. They watch him move)
Jason:(happily)Look at him go(Trini smiles as Jason touches her stomach)Hey son!
Trini: We need to calm him Jason!(moans in pain)not get him more hyped.(Jason nods and rubs her stomach)I don't know what he's doing in there. He has never been this active.
Jason: I guess this is pay back(she gives him a look)We did keep him up past his bedtime last night (sheepishly) We did have relations before Kim came. We probably pissed him off.
Trini: Don't be ridic(stops)Jason we are not having sex anytime soon(Jason laughs)I'm serious. This kid is kicking my butt(sits up a little against the arm of the couch as the baby starts to calm)I don't know how Aisha had sex up until she was eight in a half months. It's so uncomfortable.
Jason: We'll do whatever you want honey(kisses her head)I want you and our son healthy, happy and comfortable.(Trini smiles)
Trini: Then again! I can see how Aisha did it(grabs him by the collar)If Adam was just as sweet as you are right now. You are being pretty irresistible Mr. Scott(Jason smiles)
Jason: Oh yeah?(Trini bites her lip and nods)One of the reasons why you married me huh?
Trini: Hmm maybe(Jason stops rubbing her stomach, touches her face and goes to kiss her but stops when they hear something slam and hard banging)what(let's go of Jason)in the world?
Zach: Kimberly let me out(Jason helps Trini up and they head for the kitchen. Kim is standing outside of the kitchen bathroom, holding on to the knob)
Jason:(amused)Kim what are you doing?
Kim: You know(winces as Zach bangs on the door) just trying to tame a wild Mastodon.
Trini:(shocked) Kim let him out
Jason: Zach(calls)break my door and your paying for any new door that I want. You work for the mayor so I will choose something expensive and unbreakable.
Zach: That's fine!(bangs on the door) Tell her to let me out….so I can kick Donald's ass!(they look at Kim)
Kim: I told him(laughs nervously)he is not taking it very well!
Trini: I see(to Jason)I'll let you handle this. I gotta check on breakfast(kisses his cheek and walks out)
Jason: Zach, we took(crosses his arms)care of it last night
Zach: No but you didn't dance all over his face with your fist…..like I promised him.
Jason: No I did not(laughs and Kim hits him)ow sorry!
Kim: Zach enough violence has happened in the past nine hours….for a whole life time. Please calm down.
Jason: I agree with Kim!(laughs)Um what does "dancing on his face with your fist" mean?(Kim shoots him a glare)(mouths)what?
Zach: She'd let me out I'd show you(wiggles the knob and Kim holds on tighter)
Kim:(mumbles)not funny Jason!
Zach: It's great that you handled it….. But I feel the need to finish it.
Kim: Zach(sighs)it happened yesterday. It was handled. I don't need you going back to start any other problems. Through all the drama….there is some clamminess right now (crying)and please I just want to keep it that way because in the near future I know I'll have less drama(silence hits them)
Zach: Ok Kim(softly)I understand….I am calm
Kim: You promise not to go crazy if I let you out?
Zach: I promise! I promise on my wife(Kim quickly lets him out without a second thought. Zach walks out and pulls her in a bear hug. She closes her eyes and lays on his shoulder)I'm sorry Kim that you are going through this. I never wanted this to happen.
Kim: Thank you Zach(sighs)neither did I(he rubs her back and Trini walks in)
Trini: Breakfast sandwiches are ready(Kim and Zach pull away)Awe you guys made up!
Zach: It was never towards my Kimmy cub(nudges Kim)So, what do you want me to do Kim? Do you need me to help pack some stuff or help you find a relator?
Kim: We'll Jason and I are going to the house now to get stuff and(sighs)Damn, I forgot I have to get the girls.
Trini: I can do it! I'm off today. I can pick up the twins and take Zach with me(Zach slides over to Trini)
Zach: Most definitely! I will do anything you need me to do Kimmy! Besides I haven't seen my girls in about two weeks. I miss them(Kim looks between them and smirks)
Kim: Fine you can pick them up(points)but if Donald shows up!
Zach: I promise to be on my best behavior(Kim nods and holds herself)
Kim: Also Zach promise not to tell anyone. I'll let everyone know once I get some type of normal. Right now it's a little fresh.
Zach: ok! Secret is safe with me(Kim nods again)
Jason: ok lets get some food! Kim we need to meet Rico in 15minutes….lets grab those sandwiches to go
Kim: Ok captain(they laugh and head for the kitchen)
