Chapter 21: The Spiderman Senses

They had been fighting since Tommy's return so much that Tommy was kicked out the bedroom. He was sleeping on the couch, when he heard Kimberly sneaking down the back stairs. It was about 2:30 in the morning. Tommy knew something was wrong for Kimberly to be awake and wanting something from the kitchen this early. Tommy was going take a peak; in hopes she was much calmer to talk. Coming down the back stairs, Kimberly saw Tommy's briefcase. She went to kick it aside, but missed the briefcase. Lucky, Tommy was there to catch her.

"So, do you really want me that bad you nearly broke your neck to be in my arms?" Tommy asked sarcastically with a knowing smirk. Kimberly scowled at Tommy's smiling gleam of a face. She pulled away.

"If you didn't leave your fucking briefcase around so that I would fall on it…" She went to shove the briefcase into his chest, but Tommy grabbed Kim's arms and pulling away the case and taking her back into his chest. Kimberly spared their closeness by pressing her hands to his chest to stop him. Kimberly looked up at Tommy.

"Don't."

"Don't what?" Tommy asked softly. He couldn't believe she dared to wear this sexy pink satin slip with him on the couch.

"Don't look at me that." Kimberly turned her face away, knowing that look. Tommy always said she could put a spell on him; his dark eyes did the same to her. Those hungry eyes on her, that made a shiver run up her spine and it wasn't from any feeling of coldness.

"Look at you, like what Beautiful?"

"Tommy, don't…"

"Don't what?"

"Don't look at me and…" Tommy wrapped his arms around Kimberly tighter, and placed a deep kiss to her lips. Shocked somewhat, Kimberly wrapped her arms around Tommy's neck. Their fighting recently could be the fact of the lack of sexual fire in their lives since Tommy's new job. Tommy wrapped his arms around his wife's tiny waist. She always fit so perfectly against him, as he deepened their kiss. Tommy and Kimberly breathed against one another, not wanting to loose their connection. Tommy slid his hands down the back of Kim's satin nightgown, and cupped her perfectly rounded ass. He gave it a light squeeze. Kimberly moaned, pushing her hips into his hips. Tommy groaned. Kimberly brought one hand down between them and gripped his cock, squeezing the large cock in her small hand. His cock had sprung to life on their first kiss, now was rock hard with her teasing. Tommy picked Kimberly up, her legs immediately going around his waist without breaking their kiss.

Tommy carried Kimberly into the kitchen and straight to the countertop of the island. Pushing aside anything in their way, Kimberly pulled off his tank, as Tommy pushed down his PJ pants and boxers. Kimberly hopped up as she pulled her satin pink slip nightgown off tossing it aside like his tank. She got a nice look at Tommy's cock. Kimberly reached down and gripped the head, sliding her hand down his length. Tommy shuddered, burying his face into her neck before suckling there. Kimberly stroked Tommy's cock from root to tip just the way he loves hard. Kimberly so desperately wanted so badly to lick, kiss and suck the life out of it. Tommy groaned, sliding his fingers into Kim's hair to kiss her, their tongues battling to the beat of Kim's strokes of his cock. Tommy swirled his tongue in her mouth, sending sparks behind closed eyes. Kimberly's hand pulled away, going straight up Tommy's chest and around his neck. Tommy slid Kim's butt to the edge of the island and slid inside her welcoming heat. Kimberly moaned arching back and down on the island countertop.

Tommy laid across the top of the island, Kimberly sitting up on his lap, her feet planted on the island countertop, as she moved up and down his length. Tommy was content to holding Kimberly by the ankles as she pressed down on his chest with every thrust, but the faster she went, the more he wanted the control. She was fucking the hell out of his cock and if they continued he wouldn't last any longer. Tommy's hands moved up her ankles to holding the back of her calves as he rose up from the island to meet her thrust with even more powerful thrusts. He knew that little wrinkle would disrupt Kimberly. She looked down at Tommy. He did it again and Kimberly gasped. She squeezed his pecs. It wouldn't be long before Kimberly came with Tommy squeezing and kneading her breasts. Tommy knew it, Kimberly knew it . She was wildly riding his cock. She wouldn't last too much long. Kimberly fell off her feet to her knees, keeping Tommy deep inside her as she rode him harder. Tommy pushed her hair aside, pulling her down to kiss her again. Tommy held Kim's hands on his chest after pulling her legs tighter at his sides. Kimberly fell down to his chest as she came though still rocking her hips back and forth on his length. Tommy keep her moving against him though she came, grabbing her hips and rocking them back and forth. Kimberly pressed her soft lips to his.

"I missed you tiger," she whispered against his hips.

"Me too."

Kimberly laid flat on the island. Her body being rocked by Tommy's powerful thrust, now that he was on top. She knew there was another reason why she loved this island countertop so much, so roomy. Moans, slapping of joined bodies filled the kitchen. Kimberly's hands clutching at something, anything. Tommy slid easily into and out of her sloppy wet opening. It was just an amazing feeling, Kim's legs high up in the air, her knees sometimes hitting the back of Tommy's elbows. Tommy loved the dance of her breast, bouncing because of him.

"Oh yeah tiger!" Tommy groaned. Tommy lay a bit on Kimberly, crushing his chest to her chest as he was gripping her ass with one hand while his balls slapping her anus. Tommy kissed and sucked at Kim's neck and breasts, never stopping his wonderful rhythm of fucking. Tommy spread Kim's legs even more, as he arched up on his hands. Kimberly was holding the edge of the countertop above her head, holding on her dear life. "Uh! Tommy! Fuck!" Kimberly gripped Tommy's waist, sliding to his buttocks when he moved to lightning speed.

"Oh yeah baby." As her fingernails dug deep into those mounds, Tommy lost it. He pounded her to the island. Kimberly rose up, the top of her head against his chest.

"Yes! Yes! Oh!"

"Shit!" Tommy cried out.

"Uh, uh…oh!" Tommy felt her coming once again. And this time, he was there to share the bliss as well. "Tommy!" Kimberly fell back.

"Kim!" Tommy reached down, his tongue sliding into her mouth silencing their cries. They kissed like never before. Tommy slowed down with each thrust, content on just being buried deep inside the woman he loves. Tommy and Kimberly were both breathing hard, trying desperately to come down from their highs.

"Moron. Took you long enough." Tommy laughed. Tommy and Kimberly exchanged looks.

"Um…"

"Yeah…"

"We'll talk about this later?" Kimberly nodded. She reached up and gave Tommy one final kiss. Tommy rose up off Kimberly. He stood on somewhat shaky knees before helping Kimberly down as well.

"After we get some sleep." Tommy looked at Kimberly. He smiled back at Kimberly. Tommy pulled back on his boxers and tank, as Kimberly redressed too. Tommy followed Kimberly back upstairs, after taking her hand, knowing they weren't getting much sleep now. Not after that look Kimberly still carried in her eyes. Tommy smiled, closing their bedroom door behind him.

Later in the morning

Tommy was on his side, watching Kimberly sleep. Both naked, glowing under the early morning light. Tommy knew she was exhausted, and not from their previous engagement of activities. Tommy had checked on his sons. Chuck was sleeping peacefully in his crib with a fresh bottle and changed diaper, while Zeke was still sleeping holding one of the presents Tommy brought in bed with him.

"Kimberly…" In Kim's dreams, she heard the familiar voice of the man she loves. But somehow she knew it was all a dream. A dream she had been having for the past 6 months. Tommy was lying besides her, having never left her. "Kim…" Kimberly slowly opened her eyes to find Tommy towered over her. He was looking at her with those smoldering sexy dark eyes. He kissed her softly on the lips. His hands were caressing the curves of her body. Kimberly moaned, as Tommy deepened their kiss, pressing himself against her.

"Tommy…if this is a dream, may I never awake from." Kimberly clamped her thighs against Tommy's naked waist, as the ache between her legs grew stronger.

"Oh Beautiful, this is not dream."

"Promise?"

"I promise you." Tommy pressed against her, not meaning to, but didn't stop as he nudged and then thrusted inside her.

After their short, yet passionate quickie, Tommy and Kimberly started to set up for the party. Kimberly had wanted to decorate the house last night, since Tommy didn't get in until late yesterday afternoon. But those plans changed with their fighting, now here it was, late in the morning about 3 hours until the party started and they were still decorating. Kimberly left the boys, Adam, Tim and Jason decorating with Tommy as she went with Aisha to pick up the catered trays of food. Aisha had seen the exchange of Tommy and Kimberly, the way he pulled her back for a kiss before she left.

"So, what happened?"

"What?"

"With you and spikey?"

"Nothing."

"You were pissed off when you called last night."

"I was? I think you misunderstood. We made up."

"Correction, you two had sex." Kimberly just smiled. "I told you that was the problem, a little fucking would do you two some good. I mean it works with your brother."

"Oh! So did not need to know that!" Kimberly said covering her ears, though she was driving the car. "Pleease, do you want me cause an accident. That is not information a sister needs to know about her brother."

"You Harts are the same, you get pissed, you get some sex and everything is right again."

"Whatever."

Tommy had Rocky take Zeke out for breakfast and maybe some time at the park to delay him from seeing the house and how this year they would be celebrating his birthday. It was Rocky who came up with the idea of games outside and in the pool for the party. They went with a monkey luau party since Zeke loved monkey for whatever reason now. He had gone from dinosaur loving, to monkey after seeing King Kong movie. Tommy and Kimberly had rented a few arcade games, monkey related of course, for the children to play, along with games in the pool dealing with monkeys, from limbo to monkey toss. Also, they created a monkey treasure hunt game with the winner getting the huge money for collecting the most coins around the house and backyard. Rocky blindfolded Zeke and brought him around the backyard where everyone was waiting.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone yelled. Zeke excitedly pulled off the towel.

"Surprised baby!"

"Yeah!" Kimberly hugged him. "Thank you Mommy! Thanks Dad!" Tommy got a crushing hug from his son, which made him so proud to be his father.

"No problem son." Zeke was a bit worried about his birthday today after hearing his mother and father fighting over dinner before he was shoved to his bedroom for bed because it was his birthday in the morning.

"I hope your Uncle Rocko didn't tire you out that much at the park," Kimberly said.

"If anything, he tired me out," Rocky said going straight over to the trays of food."

"Not your appetite I see," Aisha yelled. Everyone laughed. It was a huge birthday bash, as huge as it can be for a 7-year old. Zeke had so much fun with his friends from school.

Tommy and Kimberly were in the kitchen about to bring out the cake. Kimberly could feel Tommy's eyes on her. He had been stalking her the whole party, wanting to get her alone again. Tommy wasn't listening as Kimberly was talking about getting something. He was too concerned with her backside in that white and pink printed caftan dress. He knew she had designed the dress it was just her style. And those white peep-toe pumps with her pink pedicure toes were just icing on the cake, as Tommy looked Kimberly up and down.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Huh, what?" Kimberly sighed.

"The cake Tommy."

"Oh right." Tommy went to get the cake out the fridge. It was a huge yellow square sheet cake with chocolate and vanilla icing, 2 layers thick, with a monkey face on it.

"Don't forget the ice cream bucket too Tommy." Tommy settled the cake on the freshly cleaned island counter top. Tommy went back and pulled out the ice cream bucket. Kimberly went to look for the candles, when Tommy stopped her, pulling her aside away from the door and window.

"Wha.." Kimberly took the ice cream bucket from Tommy's hand. "What's wrong?"

"We have a minute alone, shouldn't we talk about…"

"Do you really think now is the right time for that?"

"Kim…"

"Come on Tommy! This is not the right time to talk about last night?"

"When will it ever be?"

"We tried this morning remember, we tried in the shower, can we just let things flow as they are and talk about it never."

"I just hate all this fighting between us," Tommy said.

"Me too." Kimberly touched his arm.

"I want things to be right between us."

"They are."

"Better then."

"And they will be." Kimberly reached up and kissed him. "I'm sorry, I haven't been letting things go smoothly lately, it's just…" A kid ran by causing Kimberly to stop talking. She waited until the little boy was outside. Tommy and Kimberly went somewhat in the hallway away from the noise. "It's just hard with you not being here and not seeing you. I'm so worried all the time about you, about what you are doing and… And these dreams…" Kimberly whispered. Tommy cupped Kimberly's face.

"But they are just that Kim, just dreams. There is nothing going on at the Island that you should worry about."

"I just keep having this feeling something is wrong, I don't know what." Tommy put the ice cream down and took Kimberly into his arms. Kimberly nestled her face against his chest as Tommy wrapped his arms around Kimberly, caressing her lower back.

"There is nothing to worry about. I am fine. And this weird vibe you are getting from Dr. Mercer is silly. There is nothing wrong with the guy, he's a great man and what he's doing, what we are trying to complete is going to be good for the world. Trust me."

"I trust you Tommy, with my life, with our children's lives, but…" Kimberly sighed. "I will try to shake this Spiderman tingle I get about Dr. Mercer." Tommy smiled.

"Your Spiderman senses don't need to worry about the guy Kim, I promise you." Tommy pulled Kimberly to him and they kissed. As their short kiss turned passionate with Kim's arms going around Tommy's neck. Tommy kissed down Kim's jaw and suckled at her neck. Moans elevated the hallway, but as hot as it was getting, they soon quickly pulled apart with the screams of kids outside. Tommy and Kimberly looked back.

"Where's the cake!"

"We want cake! We want cake!"

"We, should get back to the party." Tommy nodded following Kimberly back into kitchen.

"Right," Tommy said. "Our little boy will be wanting his cake."

"He's not so little anymore." Tommy smiled helping Kimberly with the candles. "Oh, how the time flies by. He's not my little boy anymore." Kimberly lit the candles as Tommy lifted the cake.

"Yeah, our big boy now."

About 2 months later

Kimberly woke to her frightening nightmare. She cried out in her bedroom, scaring her poor baby Chuck and Zeke. The boys slept in bed with Kimberly a lot since Tommy was absent working all the time. Kimberly picked up baby Charles who was crying because of his mother's sudden outburst.

"Oh my baby, I am so sorry," Kimberly said rocking him. After a while, baby Charles quieted down against his mother's chest.

"Mommy, are you okay?" Zeke asked.

"Yeah, sorry baby, didn't mean to wake you."

"Did you have another bad dream?"

"Yeah, but it's okay, watch your brother." Kimberly laid the sleeping baby back to the bed, as Zeke watched him while his mother got up and left the bedroom. Kimberly was still somewhat shaken from her nightmare. Those Spiderman senses she promised to let go, lingered still. Kimberly immediately picked up the phone and dialed Tommy's number. After about 5 rings, Tommy's answering machine voicemail picked up.

"Hey this is Tommy, I'm not here to answer your call, just leave your name and I'll try to remember to get back at you as soon as possible." Bbbeeeepp!" Kimberly sighed.

"Tommy, it's me, I don't know… I just…Nevermind, Nevermind, I'm fine, the boys are fine. See ya next week." Kimberly hung up the phone. She laid her head against the wall. Why couldn't she shake this feeling, a sick feeling in the bottom of her pit that something was wrong? Dr. Mercer though a strange brilliant man, he wasn't evil. Not in the sense of evil can be. But why did she sense darkness and this huge evil cloud around the man? Kimberly went on back to bed.

Tommy was sitting at the dining table in the kitchen with Charles in his highchair. Zeke was still at school, but would be home in a few hours, happy to see his father just like yesterday. Tommy was trying to feed baby Charles his lunch, but he wasn't taking it from his father. Tommy gave up the food, as Charles was just crying and crying every time Tommy came at him with a spoon. Baby Charles would be turning 1 years old in a few days, plus Kimberly and Tommy were getting ready to celebrate Charles' baptismal as well. Kimberly had called their pastor to set up the baptismal. It was lucky that he was able to come on the same day as Charles' birthday celebration. They planned on meeting at the church and coming back to the house for lunch and the family get together.

Since Kimberly was the more religious person of the couple raised Catholic her whole life, Tommy was happy to get it done. He wasn't baptized until he was almost 4 by his parents, they weren't very religious as well but knew it was something they needed to have done. Kimberly had wanted to give Charles his baptismal at 6 months like she did Zeke, but Tommy thought it would be best to have it on his birthday. Choosing godparents weren't easy as well. For Zeke, it had been Trini and Tim as his godparents, but with Charles, of course Aisha would be his godmother, but Tommy was torn between choosing Jason, one of his bestest friends and David, his real brother.

Tommy sighed when Charles screamed out 'no' when he tried to give him his bottle.

"Come on little man, you're almost turning the big 1." Charles didn't care. Tommy tried to take him from the highchair, but baby Charles fought him. He was sleepy which was why he wasn't taking the food from his father, but Tommy didn't know that, if he had been around a lot more he would have realized that. Kimberly knew the baby wasn't hungry, but wondered how long it would take Tommy to realize the same. "What's wrong with him?"

"What do you expect, he doesn't know you," Kimberly said taking the crying baby from Tommy along with his bottle. Charles immediately took the bottle from his mother after she shook him a bit. "What does that supposed to mean?"

"It means your son doesn't know you."

"Can we not have this fight again?"

"Did you not see Jurassic Park?"

"Jurassic Park was a phony, over-managed, unrealistic stupid movie. What we are doing in the lab is far more better."

"If you are able to recreate a DNA sequence from those bones, that's what will happen. Dinosaurs had their chance on Earth Tommy! There is a reason they are not around, and it's best that you, Dr. Mercer and that Industry realize and accept that!"

"Not if there is a chance at an incredible discovery, Kim."

"What you are doing, what you are helping to recreate… it's, it is dangerous."

"Only in the wrong hands. Besides, we have yet to even break the DNA patterns, we are years away recreating dinosaurs, Kim. It's not dangerous, because we are doing something good."

"And how do you know Anton Mercer is not the wrong hands?"

"I just do."

"Oh, that makes me feel so much better." Kimberly wiped away from tears. Tommy stood up and put his hands on Kimberly, as she shook the baby asleep against her shoulder.

"Look, we have a big day coming up. Charles will be 1-years old, and it's his baptism. It's a big day for the family."

"You still have yet to pick a godfather." Tommy sighed again. He ran his hand through his head. They walked slowly into the living room.

"I know." Tommy took the sleeping baby from Kimberly. "I just don't want to hurt anyone." Tommy laid the baby down on the couch and brought Kimberly into his lap when he sat down next to the sleeping baby.

"I know the feeling. But Aisha understood why I chose Trini… Jason or David will do the same."

"How did you choose?" Kimberly laid her head against Tommy's shoulder.

"I was about to flip a coin. I loved them both enough to trust them with my baby."

"Why did you go with Trini?"

"Because we promised as teenagers if we had a baby each other would be it's godmother."

"So you stuck with a promise?" Kimberly nodded. Tommy kissed Kim's forehead. "Then I know who I must pick."

"Who?"

As Sunday morning came, the Oliver house was in disarray. Nothing was in order. Kimberly and Tommy were running around since some of the catering foods couldn't be delivered until a later time, the chairs came this morning instead of yesterday like requested. The backyard was decorated with more flowers than called for, but Kimberly couldn't do anything about it. Zeke split his juice on Tommy's tan pants, causing Kimberly to have to change her dress as well from the tan sleeveless taffeta tea-length dress with empire waist to her silver sleeveless short brocade dress with roll over collar, v-back and full box pleated skirt with her white stiletto sandals to go with Tommy's silver shirt and white pants. But now they went with Zeke's Sunday best, Eton suit, gray button front jacket with white shirt and gray pants.

Tommy was dressing baby Charles in his white beautiful high-end romper set with pie cap and romper, and white satin bootie shoes and making sure Zeke still looked good after breakfast. Kimberly was ironing the shawl with silver embroidered cross and dove and fringe along with the baby blanket as Aisha was attempting to do Kim's hair.

"Where's the flower clip?" Aisha asked. She was dressed in a white tie-front blouse with silver pencil skirt and white satin lace-up bootie.

"On the dresser," Kimberly said. Aisha quickly got it knowing they didn't have much time, they were running a bit behind schedule.

"So who all are staying behind to fix the chairs?"

"Uh, no one, got it done."

"Oh good." Tommy came into the bedroom.

"Ready?"

"Yes."

It was a great ceremony program with the family and friends all around to welcome baby Charles into the Christian family. Tommy and Kimberly sat on the front row with baby Charles in Tommy's arms, as Kimberly held Zeke on her lap. After the opening hymn, welcoming of everyone in the church, the service, it was time for the priest opened the floor for the ceremony of the baptism for Charles Aaric Hart Oliver.

"I will now ask the parents to present and bring forward their child to be christened." Tommy and Kimberly walked up the altar. Father John took baby Charles as the family and newly appointed godparents surround him and the baby. The Deacon held the bible up for the priest to read the ceremony.

"When a baby is born it is the symbol of all birth and life, and therefore all people must rejoice and smile and all people must lose their hearts to a child. This is a service, which recognizes the continual renewal of life through the waters of baptism. It is an occasion for naming a child, seeking God's blessing on his life, and welcoming him to life's larger community. It is also a service of thanksgiving for the gift of a son to Mom and Dad; an opportunity for them to dedicate themselves to the nurture of their child; and for us as family, friends and church to pledge our support to them as a family. You are presenting your Child for Baptism. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these". Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed them... Let us pray." Everyone's head went down.

"Dear Lord, as we gather here, may your Holy Spirit surround us and rejuvenate us. We pray that out of your glorious riches, you may strengthen this child with your Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in his heart though faith. And we pray that this child, being rooted and established in love, may know the love of God that surpasses all knowledge, so that he may be filled to the measure with the fullness of God. Amen." Everyone's head rose up. "Now we will ask a few simple questions: First, as parents are you people of Faith?

"Yes we are," Kimberly and Tommy said together.

"Will you do your best to provide a home where faith and spirituality are part of the nurturing of this child?"

"Yes, we will."

"Do you acknowledge this day that God's love is already at work inside this Child?"

"Yes, we do."

"Now I ask for the chosen godparents to take this baby and make your commit." Aisha took baby Charles as David held his bottom. "God our creator, we thank you for the wonder of new life and for the mystery of human love. We thank you for all whose support and skill surround and sustain the beginning of life. We thank you that we are known to you by name and loved by you from all eternity. Mom and Dad, have you chosen godparents for your child?"

"Yes, we have," Kimberly and Tommy said.

"Do you the God Parents, with the help of God, you do all that you can to help and support Mom and Dad in the bringing up of their child?"

"We will."

"Do you the witnesses give your love and support to this family wishing them all blessings this day?"

"We do." Aisha and David brought over the baby to the water bath. Aisha and David were chosen as godparents, Jason understood as Tommy promised the next baby he would be godfather.

"Father, we ask that you pour your blessings into this water, and sanctify it for our use today. In Christ's name," Father John said. Father John takes Charles from his godparents and holds him high in the air. "Lord, may you welcome Charles Aaric Hart Oliver

into our family and God please bless him. I baptize you Charles, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit," Father John splashed water on the baby. Baby Charles didn't take too kindly to the water bath, making a lot of people chuckle and laugh. Father John makes the sign on the cross on Charles's forehead with the blessed oils as well before handing the baby back over to his parents. "May the Lord bless you and watch over you, the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you, the Lord look kindly on you and give you peace. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you always. Charles, today we officially welcome you. We wish you long life and much happiness. May you face all challenges that come to you as a person of integrity. May you bring great joy to your parents and your godparents. I would like to thank you all for taking part in this ceremony. Please enjoy the rest of the day. And now, to Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before Him; to the only wise God, our Saviour, be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen."

"Amen." Kimberly smiled with Tommy. Father John handed over the Baptism certificate along with the candle. After church, the returned to the house to have their backyard cook-out party with tons of food and drinks for this joyous birthday/baptism celebration.

About a month later

It was mid-June now, and during the summer, Tim and his band hadn't made a new album in the last few years, so decided it was time to do so. They had written so many songs. Tim was excited to have new music and material from his lovely sister. Kimberly had been getting inspiration during those long nights alone without Tommy. Tim was happy since he could possibly be able to open another of his own recording studio in California, which meant the band could play and make new music there, along with his sister. It was pretty amazing how it barely took a few weeks before they had recorded almost a whole album. Tim always felt Kimberly was wasting her musical talent in fashion; she was rock star if she would only let herself be. And Aisha was very happy about it. Tim was over the house getting fitted since Kimberly was going to make his clothes or put together an outfit for an upcoming photo shoot to welcome back the band. Tim had moved in with Aisha to get back on his feet. Tommy was back on the island, hoping to get the whole 2 weeks off in July upcoming during the holiday with the family.

As much as Kimberly hated to admit it, Tim had really changed now that he was dating Aisha. Kim had thought it was just a fling, something that would fuzz out without a few months, but here it was, June, and it was still going strong, almost 2 years strong. It's funny, Kimberly and Tommy would be celebrating their 2 year anniversary the same day, since Aisha and Tim started that night of the wedding. Tim seemed to put her first, like a gentlemen, like Tommy. It was as if Tommy had given Tim lessons on love, because Tim always thinking about Aisha when he was about to come to a decision.

"So, make sure this look is new age rock, not pop sissy rock."

"Yeah, yeah…" Kimberly was happy Zeke was off to karate camp and Charles was spending the day with his grandparents. Tim was opening some mail, as Kimberly wrote down his shirt size as she worked on his waist and pant legs. Tim came across a letter from Lauren Morrison.

"What the.." Tim opened the letter rather quickly. The letter's envelope fell from Tim's hand as he sat down.

"Uh, Tim, I can't measure you while…" Kimberly saw his face. "Tim, what's wrong?" Kimberly put her hands on her brother's legs. Tim read over the note not believing it. He had a daughter. "Tim!" Kimberly looked at the letter he was staring at unbelieving what he was reading. Kimberly snatched the letter from Tim's hand. Kimberly read the letter that was written partially from a Lauren Morrison, claiming Tim had a daughter that she wished for him to raise now that she was dead. Tim took the letter back.

"Wait, wha? Is this true?" Kimberly asked.

"Lauren Morrison…I… I can't believe she…"

"Lauren? Lauren Morrison? That cute girl that followed you around a lot for like 5 years? Stalker L?"

"She didn't stalk me."

"Right, she just came to every show every week to hear the great music for several 3 years."

"Whatever, yeah. She was from New York too, very rich. We did a show for a charity event for her family on Halloween 2 year ago."

"Yeah so?"

"I slept with her."

"Wait, what?"

"I had sex with her."

"She was that girl! The one I talked to that morning! You slept with stalker L!"

"I was drunk and…lonely!"

"This letter says you have a daughter Tim, a daughter!"

"I can read! I didn't know she got pregnant! I used protection, I always used protection!"

"It obviously wasn't enough!"

"Obviously!"

"Gosh! She got pregnant! Wow. I can't believe it. I can't believe you have a child!"

"I know."

"Wait, the letter, Lauren is dead? How did she?"

"She had surgery and complications occurred. She's dead. She's gone."

"What's going to happen to the baby, your baby, my niece?"

"Then want me to come and get her."

"What?!" Kimberly took the letter and read it the last of it. "Oh my gosh. You have a daughter Tim. She's only 10 months old." Tim smiled. "She's only 10 months and lost her mother."

"Yeah."

"Oh my gosh! What the heck is Aisha going to say about this?" Tim's smile faded.

"Oh no," Tim groaned. Tim sat on the couch unable to think.

"You have to tell her."

"What?"

"You have to fly and get your daughter tomorrow! You have to tell Aisha tonight before you leave!"

"She is going to hate me."

"She is, but she'll hate you more if you don't tell her."

Tim went over to the shop. It was a busy morning with tons of customers coming in and out because of the huge start of summer sale Kimberly and Aisha decided to have today. Aisha was dealing out orders to the cashiers and helpers, Bella and Andre.

"Oh, hi baby."

"Are you busy?" Tim asked.

"No, why?"

"Can we get out of here for a bit?"

"Oh Tim, we can have sex anytime…"

"It's important." Aisha looked at Tim. Something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't… let's get out of here."

"No! Tell me now, I see something is wrong. Oh god, did you not get the recording company studio you wanted…. Are you moving back to New York? What is it?"

"Aisha, please…"

"Okay. Let me just make sure Bella and Andre know I'll be gone for a bit." Tim nodded.

Kimberly stood outside Aisha's apartment and found much array with clothes, shoes, music equipment tossed about. There was shouting coming from inside. Aisha called to tell Kimberly to come get her brother now, or the next time she would see him would be at the morgue to identify his body. At first, Aisha thought Tim was making up some sick joke, a reason why he was going back to New York, until she read the letter. Tim had showed Aisha the letter to make her believe it. He had a baby. The man of Aisha's dreams, got another woman pregnant.

"It was just one night Sha. I promise. I got a little drunk and…"

"Yeah and now you have a daughter."

"That doesn't have to change anything. I mean, I could use all the help…"

"You want me to help you raise a child you had with another woman, when you were supposed to be with me?"

"Is that too much to ask?" Aisha laughed.

"You are unbelievable Tim. You have the gull to ask that!"

"Look…"

"Get out! I said get out now!"

"Aisha…"

"Tim, I will kill you if you don't leave now!" Tim sighed and opened the door to find Kimberly standing there. Tim walked down the hall. Aisha let out a scream and went to slam the door but saw Kimberly standing there. Aisha rushed over to Kimberly and hugged her tight.

"I'm so sorry Aisha."

"He had the nerve to ask me…"

"I know…"

"I loved him."

"I know sweetie." Kimberly rubbed Aisha's back as she sat her best friend on the couch.

"I loved him… loved him…how could he do that to me?"

AN: Thanks everyone! Next installment The European Tour, more fighting ahead when Kimberly makes a decision without Tommy's knowledge.
