Chapter 2 Paris
Kim placed her hand on her stomach as she lay on her bed.
"Can this really be happening to me," she asked out loud.
Kim's mom then knocked on the door.
"Come in," she said.
Kim sat up on the bed as the door opened.
"Kimberly, sweetheart, it's time to go," her mother said.
"Go? Go where," she asked.
"It's a surprise," her mother smiled.
Kim had been in Paris around two weeks now and had called Jason, Trini, Zack, and Aisha to tell them the news.
"Just let me grab my jacket," Kim said.
"We'll be waiting," he mom replied.
Kim opened her closet door to look for her jacket.
"This is going to be a wonderful surprise," Kim's mom whispered to her new husband.
She smiled thinking about the phone call last week.
TOMMY'S CALL
"Hello Mrs. Hart, or…" Tommy began.
Tommy did not want her to be offended by calling her by her ex's last name. Kim had given him a glimpse of what her father was like, and it shocked him.
"That's quite alright with me, Tommy. You've always called me that," Kim's mom said.
"How's Kim doing," he asked.
"Why don't you ask her for yourself," her mom wondered.
"No! I want to surprise her," Tommy said.
"She's doing fine being four months pregnant," Kim's mom replied.
"That's good to hear," Tommy smiled.
"What kind of surprise do you have in mind for my daughter, Tommy," her mom asked.
"I'll be arriving in Paris on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. I'm taking off early from school to catch the plane. It was the earliest flight I could get," he said.
Kim's mom was a bit in shock after hearing Tommy's plan.
"I'm glad you're going to be here for my daughter," she smiled.
"Mrs. Hart, you know I love Kim. I'd do anything for her, and I'll always be there for her," Tommy said.
He stopped himself from going on. Tommy would have never imagined himself saying what he did to Kim's mom.
"You're really something else, you know that," she laughed. "You and Kim are extremely mature about all of this."
"Well, lets just say we learned from the best," Tommy replied.
He kind of was talking about Zordon, but also both of their parents.
"You're a sweet boy, Tommy. So, what Saturday," Kim's mom asked.
"Next Saturday," Tommy said.
"Lovely, I'll have time to clean and cook a decent meal," Kim's mom replied.
"Oh, you don't have to do that on my account," Tommy said.
"Tommy, you're family now. Remember that," Kim's mom told him.
"Wow, I guess I haven't let this all sink in just yet," he laughed.
"Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, just promise me something," Kim's mom said.
"Yes, Mrs. Hart," he asked.
"Stay in school, and get an education. That's why I'm able to cope with this a little easier. Kim did tell you she graduated early, right," she wondered.
"Yes, she did. And I promise you, I will stay in school," Tommy said.
"Alright then, we'll see you next Saturday," Kim's mom replied.
"Bye," Tommy said.
Tommy didn't let anyone know, but he was going to be taking extra classes to graduate by the end of December.

Right before they got to the airport, Kim was beginning to wonder if they ever were going to get there.
"Mom, can you please tell me where we're going," Kim asked.
"All I'm going to tell you is that it's at the airport," she said.
"Airport? Is Tommy here," Kim asked.
Kim beamed with joy at the thought of Tommy being in Pairs.
"I'm not telling," her mom said.
"Here we are," Kim's stepfather replied.
Kim looked at her stepfather.
"I take it you're not telling me either, right," she asked.
"Kimberly, it's a fantastic surprise," he smiled.
"Come on pregers, let me help you out," her mom laughed.
"Please, Mom, don't ever call me that again," Kim begged.
"Alright, alright. I'm sorry," she apologized.
"I think I can get out perfectly fine. I'm four months, not seven," Kim said.
They walked into the airport. Kim looked straight up at the ceiling.
"Man, I forgot how huge this place is," she said.
The plane had just landed, and Tommy was walking out of the gate. Kim was still looking up when he ran over to her and grabbed her waist.
"Tommy," she gasped.
"How's my baby," he asked.
Kim laughed, seeing that Tommy still had his hands around her waist and was talking to her stomach.
"The baby is doing just fine, Daddy," she smiled.
"Daddy… Man, I can't believe this is really happening," Tommy said.
"Well, it is," Kim laughed.
"And I'm not leaving you," Tommy promised.
She got on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
"Good to know," Kim smiled.
"Come on," Mrs. Hart said, "let's get home."
Kim looked at Tommy as he took her hand exiting the airport.

Tommy sneaked into the kitchen.
"Mrs. Hart, I have a question to ask you," he said.
"What is it, Tommy," she asked.
"I know I should be asking Kim's dad this, but I have no clue where he is so, I'm asking you. Mrs. Hart, I'm asking you for Kim's hand in marriage," he said.
He pulled out the ring to show her.
"Oh, Tommy. You didn't have to ask, but I thank you none the less," she laughed.
"I was planning on asking her tonight," he said.
"Well, you know you have my blessing," she smiled.
Tommy looked down and smiled. He didn't care at this point whether or not Kim's dad approved. He was just going to be nice and ask.
"Thank you," Tommy said.
"Now you have to address me as 'Mom'," she laughed.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Tommy smiled.

After the meal, Tommy began to get nervous.
"Delicious meal, Mom," Kim said.
"Thank you sweetheart," she smiled.
"I have an announcement to make," Tommy said, getting up. "Kimberly Ann Hart, I love you."
Kim looked at Tommy and smiled.
"I love you too, Tommy," she said.
"Kimberly, would you like to change your last name to Oliver," he asked.
"Oh, Tommy, yes," she smiled.
He took out the ring and slipped it on her finger. She threw her arms around him and then kissed him, something she had never done in front of her mother before.
"Look at me now. My make-up's coming all off," Kim cried.
"You look fine without it," Tommy smiled.
"It looks like you have a lot of people to call tomorrow," Mrs. Hart said.
"Boy, do I ever," Kim smiled.

Kim's mom walked into her room as she packed.
"Are you sure about this," she asked.
Kim smiled and hugged her mom.
"I'm positive, Mom," she laughed.
"Our plane leaves tomorrow," Tommy said.
"I'd rather go home and tell everyone than call them," Kim replied.
"What about Aisha, Jason, Zack, and Trini," she mom asked.
Tommy went behind Kim and covered his mouth with one finger.
"I'll just have to call them I guess," Kim said.
