Author's Note: Thanks to all of you who have read and reviewed this fic so far. I had planned to update a lot sooner but I found myself pretty busy with the holidays. Also I'm told that there was another fic with a similar title but that is merely a coincidence and I've never read it. And I am hereby proclaiming myself the dialogue queen (ha ha) every fic I write is very dialogue heavy and people keep reading them so I guess it doesn't bother you all that much. Oh and to all my Tom/Kat writers out there…keep the fics coming! Enough of this...back to the story.
"Hello, anyone home?" Kim shouted as she entered Kat and Tommy's home.
"I'm in the living room," Kat called to her friend.
Kim made her way into the living room where she found Katherine sitting on the couch putting the finishing touches on a baby blanket she was knitting.
"Hope you don't mind the intrusion, I just got home from shopping and the house was getting a little lonely without Jason," Kim told her as she took a seat.
"I don't mind at all, actually I was just getting ready to call you, I needed the company and I didn't wan to call Tommy away from the dojo until it was absolutely necessary," Kat replied.
Tommy had just recently started teaching a few classes at the De Santos Scott Dojo which was run by Rocky and Jason.
"You didn't want to call Tommy until what was necessary?" Kim questioned.
"Promise you won't freak out," Kat said.
"Ok, now you're starting to scare me," Kim replied.
"I've been in labor since early this morning," Kat informed her.
"What, then why the heck are you sitting here as if everything's perfectly normal, shouldn't you be in a hospital or something!" Kim exclaimed.
"I said not to freak out, besides I talked to my doctor and she said that labor could take hours and that I didn't need to be at the hospital until my contractions were less than 10 minutes apart," Kat explained.
"And what are they at now?" Kim asked still a little freaked out.
"About 15 minutes so we have nothing to worry about," Kat told her.
"Still, I really think Tommy should be here," Kim decided.
"If Tommy were here, I'd be at the hospital already and he would be driving me crazy, you know how impatient he is sometimes, he'd be worrying the doctors to death," Kat replied.
"I guess you're right, so what should we do in the mean time," Kim questioned.
"In the mean time, let's talk about something else," Kat replied.
"I talked to Aisha today," Kim informed her.
"Oh, how are things with her and Zack?" Kat asked.
Zack and Aisha had just met a few months ago while Zack was in Africa doing some relief work. The two had become good friends and had recently started dating.
"Things must be going really well, I haven't heard Aisha sound this happy in a long time," Kim told her.
"Hmm, maybe they'll be the next ones to get married," Kat mused.
"Speaking of being married, Adam and Tanya sent me the cutest picture of little Adam today," Kim replied.
"Yeah, I got that email too, I can't believe little Adam is walking already, it wasn't that long ago that we were visiting Tanya in the hospital after she gave birth to him," Kat answered.
"Tanya should be glad to have him walking, now that she's pregnant again, seems like everyone is starting a family but me," Kim stated.
"Oh Kim, you and Jason are still newlyweds, you have plenty of time for starting a family," Kat told her.
"I know but it's hard not to want a baby already, especially with Tanya being pregnant again and you about to give birth," Kim replied.
"Um Kim, I think it's time to call Tommy," Kat decided.
"Your contractions are 8 minutes apart already?" Kim questioned.
"No but my water just broke," Kat informed her.
"Ok, no reason to panic, I'll call the dojo and have Tommy meet us at the hospital," Kim replied jumping up from the couch.
"And I'll call my doctor and let her know we're on our way," Kat said.
Kim reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone to call the dojo.
"De Santos Scott dojo, this is Rocky speaking," Rocky said as he answered the call.
"Hey Rocky, it's me Kim, is Tommy around," Kim said.
"He and Jason are in the middle of a class but I can take a message for him," Rocky told her.
"Ok, Rocky there something really important that I need for you to do, now listen carefully," Kim said as she relayed the message for him.
Rocky hung up the phone and raced out of the office into the classroom where Tommy and Jason were teaching their class.
"Good work everyone, now we're going to show you a brand new move," Jason was saying as Rocky appeared.
"Excuse me for interrupting but Tommy where are your car keys," Rocky said.
"They're over there on the table, why is my car blocking someone's," Tommy wondered as Rocky ran and grabbed his keys.
"Ok, I'm going to take over the class and Jason you need to take these and drive Tommy to the hospital because if he tries to drive he might kill you both trying to get there," Rocky said as he gave the keys to Jason.
"Rocky, I think I'm perfectly capable of driving myself to the, did you say hospital," Tommy replied.
"That's right my man, you are about to be become a father, Kim is driving Kat and they'll meet you guys there," Rocky informed him.
"Let's go man," Jason said excitedly.
"I can't believe this I'm about to become a father!" Tommy yelled and the class laughed as he rushed out of the room.
Tommy and Jason arrived at the hospital to find Kim out in the waiting area.
"Where's Kat?" Tommy asked as they ran up to her.
"She's right through there with the doctor," Kim replied as Tommy rushed past her.
"Good luck bro," Jason called after him.
A few hours later, Kimberly and Jason were pacing around the waiting room along with Rocky and Adam and Tanya who had left little Adam with his grandparents.
"I can't stand this waiting, shouldn't we know something by now," Kim said.
"Don't worry Kim, I'm sure everything's fine," Jason said as he wrapped his arms around his wife.
Meanwhile, in the delivery room….
"Ok, Kat, just one more push and your baby will be here," the doctor told her.
"I love you so much Kat, you're the bravest woman I know, just keep pushing," Tommy said as he held his wife's hand.
"I have a son!" Tommy exclaimed as he came out into the waiting room where all his friends were waiting.
"Congratulations bro," Jason said.
"How's Kat?" Tanya asked.
"She's doing great, I'm going to get back to my family," Tommy said and returned to where Kat and his son were waiting.
"He has your nose," Kat said as she cradled her son in her arms.
"He's such a little miracle, I can't believe he's finally here, we're a family now," Tommy said as he leaned over to give Kat a kiss.
"I love you so much," Kat told him.
"I love you too," Tommy replied.
"Welcome to the world, Patrick James Oliver," Kat said.
