Chapter 3 Waking Up to a New Day
When Kim opened her eyes, she was laying in bed. She yawned and gave a sigh. Waking up couldn't be good.
"It must have been a dream," she said to herself.
But what did Alpha say? She had forgotten and put her left hand on her forehead and sighed. She took a second look at her arm and hand and gasped. Two things that weren't there before she went to sleep were as plain as daylight. Why was a silver looking bracelet on her arm where her communicator used to be, and why was she wearing a wedding ring? Something flashed in her mind.
"No way," Kim whispered.
The reality of the past day finally kicked in. She had not been dreaming. She remembered going to the Power Chamber and asking Zordon to send her back in time, and it appeared it had worked.
"Take it easy Hart, just calm down. You can face him," she sighed.
Lying back down on her bed, Kim faced the nightstand and closed her eyes. She slowly drifted into a dream. It had to be three in the morning.
-KIM'S DREAM-
Kim looked up at Tommy as they heard her plane being called.
"Well, did you enjoy your Christmas visit here," Tommy asked.
"Very much," Kim smiled.
Tommy laughed as he leaned down to kiss Kim.
"Only one more thing would make this Christmas perfect," he said.
"What would that be," Kim asked.
"If you didn't get on that plane," Tommy said.
Kim tried to speak, but she could not.
"What about the games," she finally asked.
"Kim, I love you," Tommy said unexpectedly. "There, I said it. I love you. It kills me ever day that I can't see or touch you. I don't want you to go."
"Oh, Tommy," she cried.
The scene then changed to Kat and Tanya walking with a box of supplies for graduation.
"This is going to be great," Tanya said.
"Yeah, I only wish that Kim and Tommy were here," Kat frowned.
"I know you do, but they have a busy day today," Tanya said.
"True, I mean with Tommy driving for his uncle and Kim getting everything packed for them to move, I would be so tired," Kat replied.
"Did Kim tell you where they're moving to," Tanya asked.
"Oh yeah, they found this place in Reefside," Kat said.
-END OF KIM'S DREAM-
Kim's eyes opened. She knew she would have to face him sooner or later. Tommy would be lying in the bed next to her. Kim was still too scared to look. A hand then brushed across her shoulder.
"Mommy, mommy, its time to get up," a little voice called.
Now Kim really was freaking out. She had not thought about if she would have kids. This is what Zordon meant by 'consequences' she thought. Knowing that she would never know what it felt like to give birth to her child.
"Sweet pea, I think mommy's still sleeping," a familiar voice yawned.
She would have to face Tommy and her child sooner or later.
"I'm up, I'm up," Kim said.
Kim sat up in bed and glanced up at Tommy. His hair was cut all off, but he still was as handsome as ever.
"When did you cut your hair," she asked.
"Um, I've had it this way for a while now, Kim," Tommy replied.
"It just looks shorter," she said.
She let out a sigh.
"Nice save," Kim said to herself.
She looked back up at Tommy and half smiled. Her eyes moved down to his arm. They grew at the site she saw. He was wearing the same bracelet she was, except hers was pink in the middle, and his was black.
"Joe, we got to get ready for school," the little girl said.
A little body came up from under the covers. The little boy looked up at his older sister.
"Otay, Syd," he yawned.
Kim watched as the two walked out of the room. She pointed to the silver bracelet that was also on Tommy's arm.
"What's going on here, Tommy," Kim asked.
"Zordon told me something like this would happen," he sighed.
"What did he tell you," Kim asked.
She looked down as Tommy took her hand.
"That you'd wake up one morning, and not remember that much," Tommy answered.
"Did he tell you why," Kim asked.
"No, he said just to deal with it, and to answer any questions that you might have," Tommy replied.
"I only have one," Kim said.
True, there were other questions that needed to be answered, but this one was urgent.
"Shot," Tommy said.
"What's up with these," Kim asked.
She lifted up her left hand as she pointed to Tommy's left hand.
"That's all," Tommy asked.
"I'll find out the rest later," Kim said.
Kim had a feeling that they were back on duty.
"Alright then, these are our communicators," Tommy simply said.
"We're still… you know, Power Rangers," Kim asked.
"There was nothing we could do about it," Tommy said. "We thought we'd be able to live normal lives and raise Joe and Sydney out of the Ranger life. The gem chose us, we didn't choose them."

Kim walked into the kitchen with questions still in her head.
"When did Tommy and I get married? When were my children born," she asked herself.
"Mommy, who's taking us to school today," Sydney wondered.
"Why don't I take you and Joe today," Tommy suggested.
"Yippee," Joe squealed.
Kim laughed as she handed Sydney and Joe their backpacks.
"You two behave for Daddy now," she said.
"It's hard to believe those two are already five and six," Tommy laughed.
"I know," Kim sighed.
"Don't forget you, Trini, Tanya, Aisha, and Kat have to go wedding shopping today," Tommy said.
"Wedding," Kim asked.
"Oh, Kim, I'm really rubbing off on you," Tommy said.
"I hope not," she laughed.
"Anyway, Kat and Jason are the ones getting married," Tommy said. "See you after work."
He leaned forward and kissed her. Both Sydney and Joe grossed out.
"Eww," they said in unison.
"Alright, let's get you to school," Tommy laughed.

Everything had changed. It seemed like everyone was back. It was different hanging around all her old friends, but it was a good kind of different.
"So this is how my life's going to be," Kim smiled to herself.
"Earth to Kim, come in, Kim," Trini said.
"What, oh sorry," she apologized.
"Did the kids wake you up early today," Aisha asked.
"You could say that," Kim said.
Kat walked out of the dressing room wearing a white strapless wedding gown.
"Kat, you look gorgeous," Tanya said.
"Thanks," she smiled.
Kim still did not know when she and Tommy got married. She was hoping she wound not have to ask.
"Kim, you make Jason and I feel so old," Kat said.
"Why's that," she asked.
"None of us have gotten married since you two did after high school," Trini said.
"Do you regret marring so young," Aisha asked.
"Not at all," Kim said.
AN:
Let me know what you think. Should I go on?
