AN: OMG! First, I want to apologize for the extremely long delay between chapters... I had a wedding early this month, and other distractions mainly too much fun slacking off, but I am back to working on the story. We are hitting the back stretch everybody, just about a handful or so of chapters left to come. Hopefully the lemony action makes up for the long delay. Enjoy!

Chapter 22: The European Tour

The Next Morning

Kimberly waved off Zeke and Tim at the airport. Zeke was happy to be heading back to New York City, but was sad about possibly delaying his brown belt ceremony. Kimberly was cleaning up the guest bedroom, knowing that once Tim came back, he would probably be needing a place to sleep until he gets on his feet. Kim's phone went off.

"Hello Beautiful."

"Hey, Tommy! Wow, 2 days of calling back to back. What's up?"

"Nothing, just wanted to hear my lovely wife's voice again."

"Hard day on the island last night?"

"You wouldn't believe it. We were so close to the sequence, but one spontaneous mutation and…"

"The whole strand was lost?"

"Yeah." Charles was in his high chair laughing and playing with his food. "Is that my baby Chuck?"

"Yeah, he's a mess though, let me wipe his hands and then you two can talk." After 2 minutes of the funniest father and son exchange wher Charles just burped and baby talked , Kimberly took back the phone.

"Where's Zeke?"

"New York with Tim?"

"What?" Tommy asked very surprised.

"Yeah."

"But he has his brown belt test coming up next week!"

"He wanted to go."

"He wanted to go? Zeke wanted his brown belt so that when I came home he could start working on his black belt with me."

"He'll pass his test, they should be back in a few days."

"How could you let him just leave like that?" Kimberly gasped.

"Excuse me, your son can make up his own mind. Uncle Tim asked him to help him with something very important and our son agreed! He's doing Tim a favor by helping him get his daughter."

"Tim shouldn't need help! Lisa…"

"Lauren!" Kimberly corrected. She told Tommy what had happened, leave it to Tommy to forget the woman's name the next day.

"Whatever! She said he gets the baby, what problem is there? Zeke was just being too nice. He knows his brown belt is too important to miss a week of training for it."

"Oh, how do you know?" Kimberly asked getting a bit testy.

"Because I know our son and I know you."

"Oh, like you are here enough to know what your son really wants."

"Don't start with that."

"I'll start with anything I want. The only reason Zeke is doing karate because he saw your old commercial and wanted to please you by following in your footsteps. His heart is only in it to please you."

"Zeke loves martial arts!"

"He loves pleasing you! And since you loved it, he wanted to be just like you!"

"I just can't believe you let him go."

"Well, it's not like you are here to bounce ideas and decisions off, I make all the decisions and I decided it was okay for him to go, look I have to go."

"Kimberly, wait… I'm sorry for…"

"Save it Tommy. How dare you question my decisions when I'm the only one here to make them."

"Kim…"

"Goodbye, have fun with your dinosaurs." Kimberly slammed the phone down.


Few days later

Kimberly bounced baby girl Adelaide Hart, Adela, as she called on her lap. She looked so adorable with her hair in uneven ponytails clips; Tim did them, and her purple dress and shoes. Once Adela had her laughter filled from bouncing on Auntie Kimberly's lap, it was Charles' turn for the bouncing game. Tim was fixing the crib upstairs, so surprised with all the pink and purple Kimberly brought while he was gone. He had called to say he was bringing his daughter back, with little to no problem from Lauren's parents. It was great how much Charles and Adela got along. A stranger could tell they were related. Adela looked so much like Tim and Kim, it was scary. Of course, Tim and Kimberly looked like brother and sister for sure, same hair color, same eyes, same nose and smile. Kimberly was like Tim's twin on a 5-year delay.

"There's so much pink," Tim said coming downstairs. "I can't believe you got so much pink." Kimberly laughed. Kimberly had rearranged Charles's nursery to make space for another crib with dresser.

"She is a girl."

"I know, but it's like you in high school, everything was pink." Kimberly laughed. If Tim only knew why. Zeke came downstairs with some more baby toys for the babies as he called them to play with.

"Well, did you finish at least?"

"Everything," Zeke said. Charles held his arms out for the book. He started quarreling in his baby talk for the book as Zeke played like he didn't know.

"Yeah, the crib is done and her bed is made. Thanks for the bedding." Charles let out a cry.

"Book!"

"Zeke, give him the book!" Zeke laughed.

"Just playing with him." Charles picked up his bottle of water and started sucking on it with one hand as he turned the pages in the book.

"Well, I figured Tiger Lily was a great color to go with the Winnie Pooh Chuck loves. Did Adela take to you?"

"Not immediately." Kimberly was holding Adela in her lap as she feed her a bottle of milk with a pink Playtex Ventaire bottle, while Charles stood up thanks to the couch, reading the book on the couch.

"Mummmy…" Charles cried out. Tim held his hands out and the infant immediately wanted to be lifted up by her father. Baby Adelaide "Adela" was born on August 4, of 2003 in a New York City hospital. Just about 3 months younger than Charles. Lauren didn't even tell her parents she was pregnant until she was going into labor. They had been abroad across Europe for the summer. Lauren had hid her pregnancy from them with baggy clothes, and she was lucky she didn't start bursting out until after they were gone. When Lauren gave birth, the parents were shocked to get the call that their daughter had a baby. Lauren refused to tell her parents the father's name, but later on the mother was able to get the birth certificate and saw 'Tim Hart' on it. Lauren had Diabetes, type I, which usually just required insulin shots daily. Lauren had learned to deal with her injections and overhaul of her diet, but when she become pregnant, the struggle to keep things in order and still produced a healthy baby became difficult. She had times when she was very tired all the time. Her parents just thought it was the diabetes and when Lauren assured them she was okay, they believed her. But it was her pregnancy, a very difficult one, and her pancreas that just couldn't handle having diabetes and the baby's delivery on Lauren's body. And now, Tim had a 10-month-old daughter he was going to have to care and love until his dying breath.

"She's gorgeous."

"She's a Hart." Kimberly smiled.

"Mummmy!" Kimberly lifted Charles into her lap. Kimberly held the book as well, opening the pages as Charles looked at them while sucking on his bottle.


About a week later

Kimberly was feeding Adela, while Charles sat in his high chair eating eggs. It was close to the end of the month of June, boy had the days flown by. Zeke was finishing up some cereal. He had a big day with a baseball trip to see the Dodgers play the Yankees with his baseball team. Zeke had earned his brown belt, though a few days later than expected. Tommy would be home tomorrow afternoon and boy did they had a lot to discuss. Tim had to go and have his early morning meeting with the record company sponsoring his Europe tour that was supposed to start in September. Kimberly was running late, having slept a bit more after helping Tim with Adela. Aisha came into kitchen.

"You are so late…"

"I know," Kimberly said still holding Adela in her lap wiping her mouth from the oatmeal, since Tim had gotten the baby's eating likes and dislikes from the list Lauren left behind. Kimberly was still in her fluffy pink robe. Aisha hadn't really been by the house, since Tim and Adela had practically moved in. Kimberly only saw Aisha at the shop or if they went out to eat. Tim kept his distance with his daughter. Aisha looked at Adela. She looked so much like Tim, hair, eyes and all.

"Where's the babysitter?"

"Can't come today. Look can you hold her while I clean Charles?"

"Uh…" Kimberly did even wait for Aisha to answer and placed Adela into her arms. Aisha was a bit foreign with the baby holding her away from her. Kimberly went over to Charles. Eventually Aisha settled the infant against her chest. Adela liked standing up, which was the way Aisha held her.

"Zeke, finish up, the bus will be here soon." Zeke was dressing his white baseball suit and cap with his black cleats.

"I'm done."

"Drink your juice." Kimberly finished cleaning Charles's mouth and fingers. There was a honk outside. "That's your bus!" Zeke jumped up and rushed to open the front door. "Your bag!" Zeke grabbed it and ran back to the door. Zeke took 2 steps out the door before rushing back inside. He hugged Kimberly tight, nearly knocking her back.

"Bye Mommy!"

"Have a great day baby and be good." Kimberly fixed the baseball cap on his head, fixing the hairs sticking out.

"Bye Auntie Aisha! Bye babies!" Zeke ran back into the living room and out the door.

"Close the door!" Zeke did. She lifted the naked baby from the highchair. Charles was just in his diaper much like Adela. Kimberly didn't have time to dress them and knew it would be best to do so after breakfast. "Let me dress Charles first, I'll be back for Adela." Kimberly went upstairs with baby Chuck. Aisha was left alone with Adela who looked at her with those big doe eyes much like Kim's eyes. Aisha sighed.


All of a sudden, the front door opened.

"Hello!" Aisha was coming from the kitchen carrying baby Adela when she saw Tommy standing there with several bags.

"Tommy?"

"Oh Aisha, hi!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I got an early flight. Thank goodness, I almost missed Zeke. Oh, is that her?" Aisha looked at the baby.

"Yeah, this is baby girl Hart, Tim's daughter, Adela."

"Adela? What a pretty name." Tommy took the baby from Aisha, who was somewhat sadden and glad, which surprised her. "Hey, hey baby Adela, hey…" Kimberly came downstairs to see Tommy holding the baby.

"Tommy?"

"Hey Beautiful."

"What are you doing here?!" Kimberly rushed down the stairs and they kissed. "You weren't supposed to come until tomorrow!"

"Got an early flight for a change." Kimberly kissed him again.

"Oh, that's great, very great! You can watch the babies."

"Huh?" Kimberly switched Charles to Tommy for Adela. Tommy kissed his son immediately.

"They have been feed, so they will be ready for playtime then naps."

"Wait, I come home and immediately get 2 babies."

"Yup." Kimberly went upstairs.


When Kimberly came back from a long day at the shop, she was surprised that Tim still hadn't come from the Studio. And what didn't surprise her was the mess of baby toys, blankets, towels, bottles and books all around. Tommy must have had a field day with the 2 babies. It was getting to be 4 pm. Zeke would be home by 6 depending on traffic. Tommy had the babies since 10 this morning. Kimberly found the babies asleep in the downstairs crib, Tommy lying on the couch exhausted after a long flight and 2 babies for the past 6 hours.

"Oh, they are too cute, how were they?" Kimberly asked. She had stopped by the Studio to see Tim and how the progress was going. Tim got Kim to stay for a while and do a little guitar and singing the Studio, which was why Kimberly wasn't home until 4 when the shop closed at 3.

"How were they? They were terrors Kim!" Kimberly laughed.

"Oh, they weren't that bad, tiger. You sure made a mess."

"I didn't make the mess…they did." Kimberly laughed again picking up some toys.

"They are just 10 and 13 months, how tough could it be Mr. Rainbow Ranger?"

"Tough enough. It's like they teamed up against me."

"Well, they are cousins and they get along so great."

"Um… why is half the nursery pink?"

"For Adela of course."

"Okay, then can you tell me why a lot of Tim's things are in the guest bedroom?"

"Oh, he moved in."

"What?"

"Yeah." Kimberly picked up some towels.

"It's for a few weeks right, until he…"

"I don't know, it's however long he and the baby needs to be here."

"But why?"

"Why not?" Kimberly fired back.

"I understand he just found out just about 2 weeks ago he had a daughter, and I understand you want to help him…"

"He's my brother, if he wants to, if he needs a place to stay and needs help raising his daughter, I'm here for him. He had done the same if not more for me when I had Zeke."

"I understand that Beautiful…"

"Don't. Adela and Tim are here to stay, whether you like it or not." Kimberly walked away.


Tim gave his daughter the biggest 'Hello Kitty' birthday party in August. But with that party news came. Tim and the band could not get out of their European promotional tour in September. There was no way around it. The group would lose their label and thousands of dollars if they didn't do this tour. Tim and his band was under the American Alternate Records here in Los Angeles, second best after the most famous, Stuart Sound Company. This company dealt with the eclectic, more independent groups with quality and originality. But the label was taking a huge chance giving the group free range because of their prior success and since Tim dropped their other more famous label in New York to join this company was it's best bet to start a new path. Kimberly knew what she had to do and offered to care for her niece while Tim was away, though Tim hated to leave after just spending the past 8 weeks with his daughter. But the connection with Kimberly and Adela was so strong, Tim knew his daughter would be fine. Kimberly loved dressing Adela in those little pink, yellow and purple dresses.

Aisha was over the house for a late summer backyard pool party to help celebrate Tim and the band leaving in the morning for Europe. She kept to herself, away from Tim and the baby. Kimberly was playing by the kiddy pool with Charles and Adela. Everyone was watching either the tv, with the radio blasting or playing volleyball in the pool.

"Aisha, could you watch them, I forgot some towel."

"I'll go get the towels," Aisha quickly said going inside. Tommy had only been around twice, but he could tell just by Aisha's reaction around the baby and Tim, that she was not comfortable. Kimberly just seemed to always be shoving the baby into Aisha's face all the time. Maybe Kimberly thought with more time around, Aisha would come to accept the baby and perhaps forgive Tim. Adela was so close to Kim, and in just the last few weeks Adela started calling her 'Mama' on a few ocassions. Kimberly just felt Adela was adjusting, it wasn't that big of a deal. Tommy was scared that Kimberly was making Adela into her daughter, not Tim's daughter. Tommy saw Kim's ice tea glass almost empty.

Kimberly saw Tommy bring over more tea.

"Oh thanks tiger."

"You're welcome."

"What's wrong?" Kimberly and Tommy had gotten into a fight just yesterday over the fact that Kimberly was going to be taking care of Adela while Tim went on tour. Tommy couldn't believe Kimberly would make that serious decision without even discussing it. Things seem to get back to normal before Tim and Adela moved in. Tommy couldn't understand why she was so upset with him. She had gone and decided to take care of her brother's daughter without even discussing things with him.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Tommy finally asked.

"Doing what?"

"Aisha doesn't need you pushing the baby on her."

"I am not!" Kimberly took a breath closing her eyes. "I am not pushing anything on Aisha."

"She doesn't feel comfort around the baby, but you act like you don't notice that!"

"If she only took the time to get to know…"

"This is not her child to get to know!" Everyone somewhat looked over at the couple. Kimberly looked around. Aisha returned with some towels.

"This discuss is over with."

"No, it is not!" Tim came over to the couple.

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing!" Kimberly stood up. She lifted Adela from the kiddy pool and handed her over to Tim in a wrapped towel. She did the same with Charles. "I'm gonna go find them some shirts and shorts." Tim nodded. Kimberly went inside with Tommy not far behind.

"How dare you? How dare you start a fight in front of everyone?!"

"Because you won't talk rationally with me!" Tommy fired back. "You cannot take care of his child!"

"She is my niece! Tim can't take a 1-year baby on the European Tour!"

"That is his child, maybe he shouldn't be going on tour any ways! He should be here, finding a home and take care of his daughter instead!"

"Tim is trying to make money for his daughter with this tour! He can't get out of this contract! He has tired many times, but it just won't happen! With this tour he can make the money he needs to find a home and take care of his daughter. I am willing to…"

"You shouldn't be!"

"Because you say so! This is my niece, it's not like you are here anyways to complain!"

"That's not the point! You didn't even ask if we could do this! If the family could handle this!"

"You make enough money to support the family even with Adela's addition!"

"That's not the point!"

"I thought your job was the main reason we had all of this. Your work was bringing home so much which was why you are not here."

"Kimberly…"

"I make enough money on my own, so what other issue can there be?" Tommy went quiet. "Exactly, there isn't any. If David had a child and needed help from us there wouldn't be an issue."

"David would know how to take care of his child! David wouldn't leave his child to be a rock star! Tim will never grow up and be responsible if you are taking care of his child!" Kimberly shook her head.

"It doesn't matter what you think, it doesn't matter how you feel about it, because it won't change anything. I'm taking care of my niece."

"Just don't forget that's what she is, your niece, not your child." Tommy walked away. Kimberly stood there stunned.


Tommy knew he had better planned something a bit more special for their 2-year anniversary on September 14th. The stress of the fighting constantly was not good on their marriage and he knew the children could feel that animosity between the parents. Tommy wants to, needed to fix the problems of his marriage with Kim and the best time to do so was during their anniversary. Kimberly was cleaning up some toys when Tommy handed over an envelope.

"What is this?" Kimberly opened it.

"We leave tonight and come back Friday night."

"What about the babies, what about school for Zeke…"

"Mom and Dad are very willing to watch them. In fact, they can't wait."

"Your parents can't handle 3 children."

"Of course they can, especially Mom. Mom is very happy to do it for us, she knows how important this. They'll be here in 20 minutes; I just got off the phone with them. Come on, Beautiful. We need this." Kimberly looked at Tommy. He was right, their marriage was suffering big time lately, they need a short vacation just to two of them to try and rekindle that lost love. Kimberly looked over the letter. Tommy got them a romantic hotel stay away from the family at a 5-star Hotel and Spa Resort just 40 minutes away in Hollywood, so they wouldn't be too far from the family in case something happens. Kimberly looked over the brochure. She knew Tommy specifically chose this place because it suited her and him very well. This place housed one the best landscaping gardens and lawns. Plus it was an escape for Los Angeles with its legendary romantic discovery on why Hollywood is the movie-making capital of the world. Kimberly smiled. This just might work.


Tommy said goodbye to his parents carrying his overnight bag and Kim's small suitcase to the car. They would have left sooner, but Kimberly had to shower and change for a 40-minute ride to the hotel. She claimed wanting to arrive to the hotel in style not messy and slacker like Tommy with his black top and jeans. Kimberly was giving the rule to Zeke after kissing Adela and Chuck goodbye. They were too concerned with the toys in their playpen to care that Kimberly was leaving.

"You have school in the morning, so no twisting Papa or Nana's arm for late night tv or snacks."

"Yes Ma."

"Excuse me." Kimberly looked sternly at Zeke. He smiled.

"Sorry, Mommy."

"Okay, I love you." Zeke hugged his mother.

"Love you too. Bye Dad!"

"Bye son. Love you." Tommy came back and hugged him as well. Tommy gave kisses and hugs to Charles and Adela before placing his hand on Kim's back, leading her to the car. Tommy opened the passenger door for Kimberly.

"Thank you." Kimberly got into the car. Tommy smiled and they pulled for their romantic 2-day get away.

Tommy and Kimberly were treated as they pulled up to the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel and Spa like never before. It was as if they were celebrities. Kimberly walked into their executive bedroom in awe. It was so spacious, but not too big. Kimberly tossed her Kathy Van Zealand bag on the large bed. She passed chilled sparkling champagne already set up with strawberries and went straight to their balcony. Kimberly opened the doors and smiled. Tommy always preferred to be behind her so he could watch her. The way she moved with ease, though wearing such high heels.

"Oh my gosh, Tommy! You have to see this view." Tommy paid the guy a tip for carrying their 2 bags inside. Kimberly was leaning forward over the balcony as Tommy stood in the doorway. The sun was setting on the horizon but there was still just enough. Kimberly turned her head slightly and caught him staring. Tommy had to groan when a gust of wind slightly picked up the back Kim's black shirt collar, cap sleeve Voile wrap dress. Because the dress already had a flare shape about it, Tommy got a great view of the backside of Kim's butt covered by the navy blue with pink dots lace on lace cheek lace with lace trim panties. Kimberly heard Tommy's groan as she lifted her foot a bit, covered with black multi-strap 3" suede platform sandals. "Are you just going to stare the whole night?" Kimberly turned her back to the railing and leaned up against it with her elbows resting comfortably there.

"I don't see anything wrong with that when the beauty before me is just so amazing," Tommy confessed. Kimberly smiled. She turned back around. Kimberly stuck her ass out and started to slowly pull her dress up. Tommy stood deathly still lost in the beautiful scenery before him. Tommy groaned again, but Kimberly quickly straightened her dress up when she turned back around. She gave him that innocent and shy smile, but Tommy knew what it meant.

"Wow, and here I thought I would make you work for it tonight." Tommy smiled.

"How about this, we crack open that bottle of champagne, have some strawberries, then we see how comfortable that bed really is." Kimberly bit her bottom lip with that sexy smile when Tommy turned her on.

"I love it when you talk sexy," Kimberly said.

"And I love you Beautiful." Tommy took one stride and pulled Kimberly by the waist to him, kissing her passionately on the lips. "You do know that right?"

"I do, even when you make it impossible not to want to smack you silly," Kimberly said with a smile. Tommy kissed that smile away. "Now, let's go start our anniversary with a great bam." Tommy picked up Kimberly who giggled at the sudden surprising lift. He twirled her around. As Tommy slowly brought Kimberly down, her legs wrapped tight at his waist while her arms found it's spot around his neck. Tommy kissed the corner of Kim's mouth, testing the kissing waters. Kimberly sighed, hugging Tommy back as his arms wrapped around her back holding her up. "I love you so much Tommy."


Tommy and Kimberly had to somewhat composed themselves as the room service they ordered after amazing sex arrived. Kimberly held her robe closed as Tommy just opened the door with his quickly pulled on his jeans.

"Your dinner sir."

"Thanks, just put it on the side over there," Tommy said. The guy nodded seeing the disheveled bedroom with Kimberly sitting in the middle of that bed.

"Well, I'll let you two get back to…" He smiled knowing what the couple would be doing as soon as the door closed behind him. Tommy pulled out a tip from his back pocket and closed the door behind the guy. Tommy quickly opened the door and shoved the 'No Disturb' sign on the door.

"No more interruptions," Tommy said.

"Good, because I'm not finished with you." Tommy smiled. His jeans left right at the door. Tommy stalked over to the bed, as Kimberly went to untie her robe.

"No, leave it on." Kimberly moaned. Kimberly's bent her legs as Tommy stood on his knees between them. She saw positioned her robe to fall off her shoulders revealing her erect pink nipples. Tommy saw the glistening of her wet pussy and his hunger glare sent shivers up Kim's spine. Kimberly's back arched and her head fell back automatically when Tommy's lips surrounded her breast. His tongue making swirls around it inside his mouth. Tommy's hand slid between them, softly caressing Kim's wet pussy. Kimberly nearly came as Tommy thrust his finger into her. She let out an even louder moan.

"Tommy." Tommy's hand came up and he sucked the finger that was just recently inside Kimberly.

"You taste so good." Tommy locked lips with Kimberly into another deep passionate kiss. Kimberly took Tommy by his head, guiding his head down to where she desperately needed him. Tommy kissed down Kim's chest and across her stomach, as her sweet, sweet scent made him even harder than he already was. Tommy's tongue swirled around her clit just as it did her breasts. Tommy's mouth made love to her pussy, paying special attention to her clit. Tommy flicked his tongue over and over, bathing her with his tongue. Tommy licked, sucked, and nibbled every inch of her womanhood. Kim's hips were rocking over his face as she grabbed the back of his head, pushing him even further into her. Kim's body shook with the waves of pleasure that rocked through her. She cried out Tommy's name in gasps. Tommy just held on the ride of her amazing orgasm. Tommy immediately came up and slid into those welcoming walls. Kimberly gasped, as Tommy didn't even let her catch a breath before he was buried to the balls inside her. Kimberly moaned loudly as she briefly watched as Tommy slid in and out her. Her hand sneaked between them as she played with her clit. Tommy took that hand, and quickly slid those fingers in his mouth. The eyes rolled back in Kim's head. This man was going to be the death of her. Tommy in no shape was an average man. Everything about this man was perfectly sculptured. From head to toe, Tommy had no equal. It was amazing how passionate, how strong and how much he loved Kimberly. He dazzled women with just a glance. But he always had eyes for his 'Beautiful'. Tommy raised both of Kim's legs up and over his shoulder. Just the slight change of angle, caused Kimberly to shuddered. Tommy was thrusting deeper than before. Kim's held Tommy's elbows as he thrusted powerfully. Both moaning. Kimberly reached up and kissed him. Tommy and Kim's banter of heads kissing moving from side to side, as they made love. Tommy pounded Kimberly to the bed. Kimberly came hard around Tommy, screaming his name to the ceiling again. Tommy thrusted wildly a few more times before coming as well. He roared her name as hot spurts of cum exploded from his cock. Kimberly pressed her lips to Tommy's lips to silence their cries. Tommy knew at that very moment anyone around them must truly hate them. Their anniversary had officially begun.


Next Morning

Tommy wanted to apologize to Kimberly for neglecting her and infrequent visit over the past years. He calls to have their breakfast in bed to make amends. Kimberly didn't even wake up at the knock at the door for room service. Tommy slid out last night's dinner tray and pulled inside breakfast. Tommy thanked the guy and went to decorate the room. Kimberly slept on though the room had changed a bit. Tommy ran a rose along his wife's face and neck. Kimberly moaned as she woke up to Tommy's beautiful smile. And he says she has a beautiful smile, and boy how he doesn't know his smile makes any morning so much brighter and lately the morning have been rather dull and gray.

"Good morning Beautiful."

"You're acting like a guilty man," Kimberly said with a smile, as she was awake.

"I am. I feel like I've been neglecting you these last few months."

"You have been."

"I'm so sorry honey."

"Well, you should be."

"Well, I want to make it up to you."

"How's that?"

"Well first, I have made you the best damn second course breakfast in the world."

"Oh really," Kimberly said with a smile. Kimberly looked as Tommy lifted the tray.

"Well, technically I didn't make it, but I did have all your favorites brought."

"That sounds great. But, what's your first course?"

"You." Tommy kissed Kimberly and kissed down her chest. His hand ran down her body straight to her mound. Tommy stripped that sexy white nightgown from Kimberly's body along with the pink panties and proceeded to taste her sweetness. Tommy spread Kim's legs open wide as he brought Kimberly to simple cries of ecstasy with just simple sucking, licking and fingering. Kimberly moaned as Tommy came up. She made him roll to his back, it was her turn to strip him.

"You have way too many clothes on."

"By all means Beautiful." Kimberly ran her mouth down Tommy's bare chest after pulling off his tank and boxers. Tommy's body tightened as she sucked on his nipples.

"And you say I'm sensitive."

"Who would have know such a beautiful mouth could bring so much pleasure."

"I'll bring more," Kimberly said moving down his chest and stomach. Just as Kimberly's mouth surrounded his cock, and she gave him a few sucks, Tommy stopped her.

"Let's not let the morning be stopped so early." He dragged her up his body. They kissed passionately on the lips. Tommy pressed into her, and as Kimberly sat up on his lap, she felt him completely slid into her. Kimberly gasped. Her mouth open wide. Tommy took Kimberly by her waist as she moved on top of him. Each downward thrust met his upward thrust. Their bodies as one. Tommy loved how her breasts just bounced in front of his eyes. Kimberly felt herself close and Tommy knew it. He stopped them. Kimberly knew what he wanted. She bent down and kissed him as she let him slid from her. She moved off his lap as she kissed him again before Kimberly moved to the bottom of the bed on her hands and knees. Tommy was within her in seconds.

"Ohhh.." Kimberly moaned. Tommy just held on as Kimberly thrusted back at him again and again. She never missed a beat.

"Oh god, you're so wet!" Tommy moaned from behind Kimberly as he found his cock slick, easily sliding into Kimberly.

"Oh yes! Yes, yes, ohhhh!" Tommy marveled how Kimberly manage to make their sex, their love stronger each time they made love.

"I love it when you're fucking me." Kimberly moved faster. Tommy came inside her with Kimberly shouting his name to the skies. He just held her, held himself deep inside her not wanting to lose their connection. Tommy bent down and kissed Kim's back as his lips moved up. They kissed softly on the lips. Tommy lifted Kimberly against him and he fell back to the bed. They snuggled against each other. Before they went on to enjoy their breakfast. Tommy and Kimberly spent the rest of the morning and afternoon lounging by the pool after a walk around the garden. That night, they would take in a nice movie after a romantic dinner.


The final night, Tommy and Kimberly were standing on the balcony. They finished their drinks and turned to each other and locked into another deep passionate kiss. She loved the feel of his hands on her body. She could feel the soft summer breeze come up through her dress as it blew over her. That feeling sent shivers up her spine as her back arched and her head fell back while he kissed and licked her neck. He brought his free hand up over her thighs and slowly up to her hips bringing her dress up with it exposing her. She reached down and unbuttoned his pants and as soon as his zipper was down, his pants dropped to the ground. He loved the feel of the fresh air against his now fully exposed body. Neither of them stopped to even see if they were being watched by anyone. He slowly worked his way down her neck and moved down to her breasts. He slowly pulled the strap from her sun dress over one shoulder and then the other. Tommy laid Kimberly right on that balcony chair and had his way with his wife and didn't care if her moans and screams carried for miles.


Tommy was standing at the front desk for check out. Kimberly stood next to him and with every chance she got she would slip her hand down the back of his pants and caress his ass. Her hand slid into his back pocket, when Tommy handed over the keys.

"I hope you and your wife enjoyed our Executive Romantic bedroom suite, Mr. Oliver."

"Oh, it was a great anniversary," Kimberly said.

"I am happy we were able to make that possible. To many more."

"Thank you."


Kimberly was in a record store randomly shopping, enjoy her day away from the kids. Zeke was at school and she was trying for the first time Charles and Adela at daycare for toddlers just for a few hours to play with children their own age and get them prepared for school in less than 2 years. It was called "Head Start" for toddlers. Kimberly was humming a song, nothing really anyone would know, and she had just been feeling music flow through her lately. A recent fight with Tommy didn't help. He was her angry fuse that sometimes caused songs to be created from. Tommy was going to miss her birthday in a week once again like he did miss 2 years ago. He made up for it last year, but it wasn't fair. He was given 2 days off for his birthday before their anniversary, and he came back for their anniversary, why couldn't Dr. Mercer give Tommy the same favor for her birthday in October. Kimberly sighed. Tommy left on bad terms again after their anniversary since he found out Tim would not be visiting until Thanksgiving after he promised a trip earlier. Tommy felt Kimberly was spreading herself too thin with 2 toddlers, Zeke and 2 jobs. Kimberly had begged for the first time for him to stay and help out if he was sooo concerned over the family, but Tommy couldn't. He had to leave. He had to get back to the Island. Kimberly was so pissed, all he cared about was the stupid Island and his dinosaur work. It was his obsession.

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa

It's the way it is

A guy's ears perked up at the melody coming from the beautiful woman just a few aisles away.

I don't wanna love you

Don't wanna need you

Just wanna leave you (I swear)

Kimberly put back some CD's when the guy stops her.

"Wow, let me just say… wow again."

"Uh, excuse me?"

"Your voice! Are you a professional singer?" Kimberly laughed.

"No, no, sorry…I mean, I did with my brother, but that was years ago and…"

"You should be!" Kimberly looked at the guy confused. "Look, I am a manager and I have a club and tonight we are giving up and coming artist just like yourself a chance to win some cash and possibly a record deal."

"Oh wow." Kimberly took the pink flyer from the guy. Club Twilight was the name of the guy's place.

"I would love it if you came." Kimberly looked over flyer in her hand. "Say you'll come."

"I don't know…"

"Please, please, say you'll be there! I have a feeling you can and will win." Kimberly looked at the flyer again with a smile.


Tommy called as Kimberly was in a rush to get ready for the club.

"What's going on? You sound winded," Tommy said.

"I just… I am running a bit behind time."

"Oh, what's going on tonight?"

"Nothing big just movies for the kids."

"Movies?"

"Well, there's this movie I think they all will love and I want to take them."

"But Kimberly…how can you take 2 toddlers to the movies, they will…"

"It's for kids!" Kimberly yelled. Kimberly lied. She wasn't taking the kids to any movie tonight. But she knew if Tommy knew the truth he might not approve. It wasn't as if this Club Twilight was in the best area.

"What's going on Kim, you…"

"Can we not do this? I have to be going Tommy!"

"Look, I'm sorry about how we left things with me leaving, but I had to go…."

"Yeah, yeah, Tommy, I know you had to go, it's okay. Tommy, I have heard the story a hundred times now. I'll be okay"

"I'm sorry."

"You need to be."

"I love you Beautiful."

"Yeah, love you… Goodbye." Kimberly hung up the phone.


Kimberly was a bit self-caution as she arrived to Club Twilight. She had arrived much later than she expected, having to wait on the babysitter. Tracy agreed to watch the kids since she was watching Amber. Zeke and Amber would have fun since they were about the same age and Chuck and Adela would have each other to play with.

"Where is this girl?" Sean surveyed the crowd again. It had basically been miserable act after the next since the Talent night started. He was hoping the beautiful woman he saw at the record store would make it.

"There, there! Over there." Sean buzzed through the crowd. "Hey!" Kimberly looked up.

"Hey!"

"I didn't think you would make it."

"Sorry, problems with the babysitter."

"Babysitter? You got kids."

"Yup, 3."

"Wow, you don't look old enough to have 3 kids."

"One's my brother's daughter."

"Oh, well, that's great then. Are you ready? You look great."

"Thanks." Kimberly rubbed down the front to her black and silver metallic draped spaghetti strap top with her light blue denim skirt and black round-toe knee-high stretch suede wedge 4" heel boots. Kimberly had her guitar case in her hand.

"Oh, I forgot to ask your name."

"Kimberly Oli- Hart."

"Hart, Kimberly Hart. Wait, are you related to Tim Hart?"

"Yeah, he's my big brother." Sean smiled.

"Of course, my name is Sean."

"Hi." They shook hands again. Sean pulled Kimberly over to the head of the record company, Mr. Michael Stuart.

"Michael, here's the girl I was telling you about." Michael looked Kimberly up and down.

"Well, you were right, she sure is beautiful, but can she sing?"

"You better believe it." Sean went over to the stage as the last performer finish to a round of pity applause. "And now ladies and gentlemen, we have a real treat coming up next. Please, welcome to the stage, Kimberly Hart!" Little claps as she appeared. Kimberly smiled as she walked up the steps to the small stage. She opened her case and pulled out her guitar. On the cab ride, Kimberly worked through the nervous part of her new song, afraid that the first time she was performing it was to a crowd of strangers. Kimberly had been writing songs in a journal for years of course, but last night, she was thinking about the fight with Tommy when she creates this. She was just so frustrated at that moment when the song was created. She was pulling from all her failed relationships from the past and combined them into one expression. Kimberly fixed the guitar across her shoulder.

"Hello…" Kimberly smiled again. She played with the strings of her guitar just to get the feel of the guitar and make sure she was still in tune. "I wrote a song, I hope you like it. It's called, "I Just Want It"…" Kimberly smiled as she took a deep breath and hummed into the microphone.

Over and Over

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa

It's the way it is

Baby I remember

a time when we were so secure but

Now it's like December

when you say that I'm so insecure and

I gotta get away

cause' your making me weak

It's keeping me trapped (keeping me trapped)

I gotta be a fool

sitting here tryna get that old thing back

Oh

You use to keep your word

was one who always did what you said

You use to speak to me so sweet

with something caring to say

Oh, you don't even try no more

Oh, you don't even care no more

Chorus:

I don't wanna love you

don't wanna need you

just wanna leave you (I swear)

I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)

I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)

The crowd was nodding in approval of the song, smiling and clapping to the beat.

It's like I hate to love ya

a charade we play time after time (time after time)

It's like ya love to see me

confused and a mess I'm losing my mind (I'm losing my mind)

I gotta get away

cause' your making me weak

It's keeping me trapped (keeping me trapped)

I gotta be a fool

sitting here tryna get that old thing back (thing back oh)

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

You use to keep your word

was one who always did what you said

You use to speak to me so sweet

with something caring to say

Oh, you don't even try no more

Oh, why you don't care no more

Chorus

Hey

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (La,La,La,La!)

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (No I don't wanna here it no more)

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (All the lies, Oh!)

LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (You, You, You use to!)

You use to keep your word (hey)

You use to speak to me so sweet (so sweet)

with something caring to say (oh)

Oh! you don't even try no more

Oh! why you don't care no more

I don't (I don't) wanna love you

just wanna (don't wanna) leave you (I swear)

I just want it to be over (I just want it to be over)

I just want it to be over (Can it be over?)

Over and Over!

Michael exchanged a look with Sean. He had a knowing smile. Sean was clapping as Kimberly finished to the loudest commotion of the night.

"Well…"

"I think you might been right, for a change. Let's talk about a deal…" Sean smiled as he followed Michael Stuart to the bar. At the end of the night, Kimberly wins the talent show contest with her new song.
