It was now almost one year later Kim and Tommy were living with his mother until they could find a place of their own. Kim was looking but did not want to make any major decisions without Tommy. (And with him on the road constantly from February to November there was no sense in getting a place of there own yet.)
Kim was lying on the couch, reading an article in a magazine. Kim was waiting on Tommy to get home so they could go to Jason and Alex's. After looking up at the clock it was around two and Kim knew he should be home at any time in the next few hours. He would be home with her for three weeks.
Kim had not been sleeping much at night right now and was getting sick, which she thought was due to her not sleeping. Then after a visit to her doctor she found out that she was wrong. It was defiantly not what she thought it was. But after seeing the doctor she had been told exactly what it was (and what she found out she thought maybe but pushed to the back of her mind because she didn't think it was possibly but she had been wrong.)
Around five o'clock that afternoon Tommy had come home. When he walked into the house, he found Kim asleep on the couch. When he started toward the couch he stopped and watched her. (He loved to watch her sleep. She looked so peaceful almost like a child sleeping.) After a few moments he walked over to her and got down on his knees. Before waking her he moved the magazine that she had been reading and put it on the coffee table.
"Kim. Honey wake up." He said as he put a hand on her shoulder
"Tommy?" she asked quietly
"Yeah, I'm home now." He said
"Thank God." Kim said as she slowly sat up giving him a hug and then just as she was about to kiss him she started to get nauseous." Excuse me." She said and ran for the bath room. When Kim came back over to the couch and sat down.
"Are you Ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
"You don't look fine. What's wrong?"
Kim looked into his eyes and just told him what the doctor had told her a few weeks ago. "Tommy, I'm Pregnant."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I' am." Kim said again as she once again gazed into his soft brown eyes. Kim saw joy and hope in them and smiled weakly she was scared to death.
"That's great."
"Yeah it is."
"But..." he said as he crawled up on the couch next to her.
"I'm not ready for this. I can't do this by myself."
"And you wont have to I will be here for you and our child."
"How you are only home three months out of the year at this point so that leaves me to do everything on my own." She said as the tears started to fall.
"Kim I promise I will be here for you and our family no matter how big or small it is." He said as he tilted her face to his. "My contract is up with uncle John at the end of the season the only way I have to continue is if I sign a new one. But what I really want to do is open that Dojo here in town."
"You're going to give up racing?"
"Kim it's not what I want to be doing, it was only something to do. I was good at it. But I want to be home with you I hate all the traveling I always have."
Kim gave him a small smile and a hug. They had a lot to work on but somehow they knew that together they could get through anything life through their way.
Jan stood up at the top of the steps. She had worked the midnight shift at the hospital and was just now getting up. Jan watched her son and daughter. They reminded her so much of her and her late husband they were so mature for their ages (not to mention the bond they shared from being rangers) Thank you Lord for helping him find her again. He loves her so much. I hope that this child will only bring them closer. Jan said a silent prayer before walking down the stairs.
"Hi, Mom." Tommy said as he looked up.
"Hello Son. Kim how are you feeling today?"
"Better." Kim said
"I need to talk to the two of you in the kitchen please." Jan said
"Ok." Tommy said as he got up off of the couch and helped Kim up. They walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table.
"I know that you two need a place of your own. And Kim I know that you have been trying but, you don't want to make any decisions without Tommy. Well I want to do something for the two of you. And I won't take no for an answer."
"Mom." Tommy said looking at her as she put papers down on the table in front of them. Tommy looked at the papers. Then continued to talk to his mom and Kim looked through the papers.
"I want the two of you to have this house. It's too big for just me and I can't take care of it on my own anymore. I realized that after you moved in here Kim."
"Mom how can you even consider this? I can't do that."
"Yes you can consider it my wedding gift to you two. I will move into the guest house and all the two of you have to do is sign the papers and the house is yours."
"Why are you doing this?" Tommy asked his mom.
"Because it's what your father wanted."
Tommy stared at his mother "what Dad wanted?"
"Yes he and I talked about this a long time ago and he wanted you to have this house. And now with a child on the way it's the perfect time for the two of you to take it. Son the house is paid off you will have nothing to pay."
"I don't want you living in the guest house Mom this is you're home."
"It's yours too." She said "besides your father and I were fixing up the guest house just before he died and we were going to give you the house the day he died but that did not happen. I never did get to show you it."
"No. But why wait all this time. Mom it's been nearly three years."
"I know and I'm finally trying to do what your father wanted done. And The guest house is perfect for me I won't have a lot of work to do cleaning up and it has all my last memories of your father the last few days we were together we spent fixing up the guest house ."
"No I don't like the idea of you being in that house by your self it does not seem right."
"Tommy." Kim said as she handed them to him on a page she had found when he saw that he looked at his mom.
"Mom, this is signed two days before dad died."
"I know I signed it then too. I told you the day he died is the day we were going to hand the house over to you. All you two have to do is sign the papers and the house is yours."
Kim looked at Tommy then to Jan. "Ok on one condition. We'll sign the papers if you stay here in the house with us at least until after Tommy's contract is up." Kim said
"No."
"Jan…." Kim said but was stopped
"It's Mom and I won't hear of it."
"That's it we won't sign unless you agree to our terms." Tommy said
"Fine, I will call the attorney tomorrow and make plans for him to take care of the rest of the paper work. That way before you go back to work the house will be yours." Jan knew not to try to argue with the two it was a battle she could not win. So she gave in.
That night Kim laid awake in bed thinking about what Jan had just done. This house was perfect but to take over everything. But at least they convinced Jan to stay in the house with them.
"Kim?" Tommy said as he looked at her when he came to bed.
"Yeah." She said
"Are you ok you were kind of quiet at dinner tonight?"
"I'm fine just thinking this is a big surprise."
"I know and I wish Mom would have waited to do this but now we can stop looking for a place."
"I'm not sure I can just take over and run things here in my mind this is still your Moms house."
"I feel the same way but we have to do what she wants you know how she can be when she really wants something." He said "So how far along are you?"
"16 weeks." Kim said
"That's four months."Tommy said as he placed his hand on Kim's' lower abdomen, which was slightly swollen now.
"Yeah well it's not something I wanted to tell you over the phone, in an email or letter it didn't seem right and I've only know for about two weeks."
"Kim, how is that possible?"
"I didn't think that I could be pregnant because of your schedule so I ignored the signs I thought it was something else. Some of the symptoms were so mild that I really did not think about it."
"So when did you find out."
"Two weeks ago when, Mom made me go to the doctor and she was with me when I found out."Kim said "Mom recognized the signs."
"Have you told anyone else?"
"No I did not want them to call you before I could."
"So you're just going to show up tomorrow and let them find out."
"Yeah I am. Besides they won't really be able to tell I have not put on that much weight yet nor am I showing that much yet they only thing I might have a problem with is certain food smells."
"Trini and Alex are going to be mad."
"I know so will everyone else. And they will all get over it and besides"
The next afternoon after Kim had gone to see her doctor for her follow up appointment. She and Tommy headed to Jason's Hotel. Jason had closed it down for the week and got it ready for the party they were going to have to celebrate the two couple's anniversaries. Jason and Alex had celebrated the night before.
It was a warm late Thursday evening and the large group of friends had all come home for a party to celebrate the wedding anniversaries of Jason and Alex Scott, And Tommy and Kimberly Oliver. The first night there was rough on many of the couples with everyone arriving at different times because they lived in different parts of the country.
"So where are Kimberly and Tommy I would have thought they would have been here first?" Aisha said as she and Zack walked through the door.
"So did we, but something must have come up with his mom or something." Alex said
About an hour later Tanya and Adam were there, with their five month old son Mathew Park.
"He's adorable." Alex said as she looked into the carrier he was in.
"Thank you." Adam said
Almost 2 hours latter Rocky and Kat arrived with their almost year old son Daniel DeSantos.
A while latter Billy and Trini showed up the couple had just gotten married four months ago. The group was all sitting in the living room talking when Tommy and Kim had finally gotten there.
Tommy and Kim walked into the living room and Alex was holding Mathew, and Jason had Daniel.
"It's about time. What took you guys so long?" Zack asked.
"Sorry Kim had a doctor's appointment and we had to wait for almost two hours to get in to see him." Tommy said with his arm around his wife.
"Are you alright Kim?" Trini asked knowing how much Kim hated going to the doctor.
"Yeah I'm fine. It was just a check up." Kim said as she walked over to the couch to sit down. Tommy followed her.
Tanya looked at her with a knowing smile but did not say anything.
"So when do you two plan on getting married." Jason asked Zack and Aisha.
"September 21st next year." Aisha said
"Good." Tanya said and took Mathew from Alex who welcomed the use of her arms again.
"Kim would you like to hold him?" Tanya asked looking at Kim.
"Yeah." Kim answered as Tanya laid her so in Kim's arms. Kim looked down at Matthew. "He is adorable."
"Thank You."
"So how about we go into the kitchen and have dinner?" Jason said
"Dinner sounds good." Kim said
The group went into the kitchen and had dinner as Kim walked into the kitchen she turned and walked out. "What's wrong with Kim?" Adam asked
"She's not been feeling very well that's why she had to go to the doctor today." Tommy said "I'll be back."
"I think Kim is pregnant that would explain her running out of here like she did." Trini said.
Upstairs in their room Kim sat down on the bed."Kim are you Ok."
"Yeah I'm fine I just got really tired all of a sudden."
"Kim I think that that's part of you being pregnant."
Kim looked at him with one of those looks how did you know that? "Yes I know that but how did you?"
"Mom told years ago because of her being a nurse I learned some things a lot earlier than most children did but she also reminded me last night."
"I should have known."
"Do you think that you can handle a little more time around our friends then we can tell them tonight."
"Yeah, for a little while and yeah we can tell them. So I don't end up in any more trouble with Trini and Alex then I will already be. Trini already thinks that you are."
"I knew I would not be able to hide it from her for very long she is very perceptive. Trini always knew when something was wrong. Even when we were little she knew."
"That's weird but you two have been friends since second grade right?"
" Yes, we all met in second grade and we all became friends pretty quickly. We all helped each other out that's why we are all so close. I also think it's why we all were able to welcome you into the group so easily."
"Other than the fact that you had fallen for me when you first saw me." He said
"Thomas." Kim said
"What it's the truth and you can't deny it Jason told me all about it. And so did…"
Before he could say anything else Kim kissed him "Let's go down stairs."
The couple walked down stairs and into the kitchen. "Kim are you alright."Alex asked.
"Yeah I'm fine I'm just tired."Kim said
"So out with it Kim there's something else going on with you to right." Aisha said
Kim looked at Tommy and then told them. "I'm pregnant."
The group all got up and hugged them. "Just a year latter too." Zack said
"Guys there's something else." Kim said "I'm having twins."
There was a look of surprise on everyone's face. And then more hugging, "And when can we expect these two little bundles of joy." Alex asked
Kim looked at everyone. "Five months, But maybe sooner than that."
Everyone stared at Kim. "Why did you wait so long to tell us?"Trini asked.
"Because I only found out myself two weeks ago that I was pregnant and I did not want one of you guys to accidently tell Tommy I wanted to tell him myself so I waited until he came home."
The rest of the evening continued with conversion. Around 10 Kim went to bed. So had almost everyone else leaving Jason and Tommy to talk. "So how do you feel about Kim being pregnant?"Jason asked him
" Kim is scared to death but she's not going to tell anyone else that. When the doctor told us today that she was carrying twins I think that made things worse. We've talked but I don't think that it's helped with things and in only two days I'm not sure how to help her, bro."
"Just be there for her bro, that's all you can do now. Plus deal with those mood swings."
"I 'am."
"We'll we better get to bed before our wives get mad at us."Jason said.
The two retired to bed.
What do you think should I continue!!!!!!! Read and review let me know. Sorry it took so long for this chapter.
