Author's Note: I've been doing some thinking and I might turn this story into a series. This story is of course mostly about Tommy/Kat but I've been featuring other ranger couples as well. So I was thinking that maybe I could write stories for all the other pairings in sort of the same format as this one. Taking a look into their lives and how those various relationships began. Would anyone be interested in that, because I don't want to write them just for myself. Now on to the next chapter.
HarryPassionFan: Yeah, it would have been great if Kat had appeared in DT.
PrettyDiva: Glad you liked that chapter. Tommy is the best husband in the world to Kat.
Purple Strobe: Overall, this is supposed to be a happy fic. So forgive me if some of the chapters are full of fluff. I really don't plan them that way, it's just how they come out sometimes.
Lushiouschell: I hope this next chapter isn't too cute for you. I'll try to come up with some more drama to add into things.
ULTRA SONIC: Thanks, I'll try to make this next one just as sweet and a little longer.
"Kat, honey where are you?" Tommy asked.
"I'm in the living room on the sofa," she called and seconds later he entered the room.
"Are you ok?" Tommy questioned growing a little concerned.
"I'm fine, just a little tired, which by the way is perfectly normal for a woman in my condition so please don't make a big deal out of it," Kat told him. She was nine months pregnant with their fourth child and was due to give birth any day now.
"Anything I can get for you?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm a little thirsty, how about a glass of water," she said.
"Coming right up," he said as he went to the kitchen.
"Sweetheart, why is it so quiet around here?" Kat inquired after Tommy returned with her water.
"Well, Patrick and Susie are out in the backyard playing with Zeo and Lauren is upstairs taking a nap," Tommy answered. Zeo was the name of the new puppy that Tommy's parents had gotten for Patrick on his ninth birthday.
"Just think, any day now, we'll be the parents of four children, are you ready for that," Kat remarked.
"Of course, I can't wait for this new baby to get here," Tommy replied.
"Funny, that isn't what you said nine months ago," Kat reminded him.
Nine Months Ago
"You're home early," Kat said as she entered their home and found Tommy there waiting for her.
"Yeah, I got one of the other teachers to cover detention for me today," he replied.
"Well, I'm glad you're home, there's something I'd like to discuss with you," she said as she went over and wrapped her arms around him and drew him into a kiss.
"I should come home early more often," Tommy remarked once they broke apart.
"Yeah, you should," Kat agreed as she headed into the living room and Tommy followed her.
"Hey, so where are the kids?" he asked.
"I had your mom pick them up for me, they're going to stay at your parents for dinner and then they'll drop them off a little later," she explained.
"Oh, so that means we have to house to ourselves," Tommy replied as he looked at her.
"Don't give me that look Oliver," Kat responded.
"What look?" Tommy questioned innocently.
"That, we have the house to ourselves look, so we should take advantage of it and go upstairs," Kat told him.
"And how do you know it wasn't a let's just sit here on the couch and talk look?" Tommy asked.
"Because I know you, and you never just want to sit and talk when the kids are out of the house," Kat replied.
"Can I help it if I just happen to be married to an incredibly beautiful not to mention sexy woman who I can't seem to stay away from?" Tommy inquired.
"You know, when you say things like that, it's no wonder we have three kids and another one on the way," Kat remarked.
"What do mean you mean another one on the way?" Tommy asked.
"That's what I wanted to discuss with you, I had a doctor's appointment today and she confirmed what I was already suspecting, I'm pregnant," Kat revealed.
"I don't know what to say, I mean I never thought about the possibility of us having another baby," Tommy told her.
"Well, it's not like we discussed not having another baby, are you saying you're not happy about this," Kat replied.
"I don't know, I guess I'm just kind of in shock, I mean I thought now that Lauren was getting a little older you were looking forward to working more hours at the dance studio," Tommy replied.
"I was but I have some really great assistants who can help with my classes and I'm sure Kim won't mind if I take over more of the business part of running the studio so she can concentrate on coaching," Kat told him.
"You seem to have really thought this out, why didn't you tell me you thought you were pregnant sooner," Tommy responded.
"I didn't want to say anything until I was sure but I'm starting to wonder if I should have told you at all, you're acting like this pregnancy is a bad thing," Kat replied.
"No honey, of course I don't think that, I guess I'm just scared," Tommy told her.
"Tommy, we've been through this three times already before, what on earth do you have to be scared about," Kat replied.
"I just don't want anything to happen to you," Tommy admitted.
"You're talking about the accident," Kat responded.
"I came so close to losing you, I just don't want to go through that again," Tommy said.
"Tommy, what happened the last time I was pregnant was an accident and it was terrible but it had nothing to do with my pregnancy, there's always a chance I could get into an accident pregnant or not, but the fact remains that I am pregnant and in nine months we're going to have a new baby in the family, I just wish you could be as happy about it as I am," Kat told him as she got up from the couch and started to walk away.
"Kat wait, I'm sorry, I love you and I love our family, and despite all my fears, I am happy about this new baby," Tommy said as he embraced her.
"Do you really mean that?" Kat asked as he held her in his arms.
"Yeah I do," he said as he kissed her.
Present Day
"Ok, Ok, so I admit, I was scared at first but I'm over that," Tommy said as he rubbed Kat's large belly.
"Dad, Zeo got out again!" Patrick said as he came running into the room followed closely by Susan who was starting to cry.
"Tommy, I thought you said you fixed that gate," Kat said as she motioned for Susie to come to her.
"I thought I had, come on Patrick we better go see if we can catch Zeo before he gets too far," Tommy said as he and Patrick raced outside.
"It's ok Susie, your daddy and Patrick will get Zeo back," Kat said as she held her daughter.
"Susie look Zeo's back," Patrick said minutes later as he returned to the house holding Zeo.
"He didn't go very far," Kat remarked.
"No, he ran into Uncle Jason and Aunt Kim's yard," Patrick told her as he let Susie hold the puppy.
"Where's your father?" Kat asked him.
"In the back, Uncle Jason's going to help him fix the gate," Patrick replied.
"Ok, why don't you and Susie keep Zeo inside until they're finished, I'm going to go upstairs and check on Lauren," Kat told her son as she headed up the stairs.
"Ok, Mom," Patrick replied as he sat down on the floor next to Susie.
A few days later, Tommy and Kat sat in their backyard and watched as all three of their children were playing on the swing set that Tommy had put in.
"Patrick, don't push Lauren so high," Tommy told his oldest child.
"Um, Tommy I think it's time," Kat said.
"Honey it's still early, we're not having dinner at Billy and Hayley's for another hour," Tommy replied not noticing the distressed look on Kat's face.
"I'm not talking about dinner, I think it's time for the baby," she responded.
"Are you sure?" Tommy asked as he got up and went over to her.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure, we should go to the hospital," she replied.
"Ok, ok, don't panic, I just have to call the doctor and get your bag, and we're all set," Tommy told her.
"Aren't you forgetting something," Kat reminded him and pointed to where the kids were playing.
"Right, the kids, I'll just take them over to Jason and Kim's, will you be ok till I get back," Tommy replied.
"Yeah, just hurry," Kat told him.
A day later
"Are you up for some visitors?" Kim asked as she entered Kat's hospital room with Patrick, Susan and Lauren.
"Thanks for bringing them," Tommy told her.
"Hey guys, come meet your new baby brother," Kat said as she sat in the bed holding her newborn son.
"Yes, I finally got a baby brother," Patrick said.
"He's so tiny," Susie said.
"He's beautiful," Kim remarked.
"Baby," Lauren said as Tommy held her.
"That's right Lauren, it's your baby brother," Kat told her.
"What's his name?" Patrick asked.
"His name is Joshua," Tommy announced.
