Oliver Residence:
"WHAT"
"He's your son Tommy," Kimberly said softly with tears coming from both eyes.
"This is some kind of joke right," Tommy said as he began to lean against the counter.
"It's the truth bro. I saw his birth certificate," said Jason with a pleading look in his eye.
"NO Jase. You saw what she wanted you to see," said Tommy with anger rising within his voice.
"Tommy you gotta believe us," said Jason trying to reason with him.
"WHAT I BELIEVE, IS THAT THE ONLY REASON KIM IS BACK IS BECAUSE THE GUY SHE DUMPED ME FOR DOESN'T WANT HER ANY MORE AND NOW SHE'S TRYING TO PUT THAT KID ON ME."
"Tommy what is all the yelling about," said his mother as she came into the kitchen from the backyard. "I could hear you all the way outside."
"Why don't you two tell my mother what you just told me. Go ahead, tell her," Tommy shouted to Kim and Jason.
"Tommy calm down." Looking at both Kim and Jason, Jill proceeded to ask them "What's going on guys?"
"I made Kim tell Tommy the truth," responded Jason.
"Which is….." said Mrs. Oliver hinting for them to continue.
"That Tommy is Nick's father," said Kim looking Tommy's mother in the face.
"Do you hear this bullshit mom?"
"TOMMY, watch your language." Trying to grasp what she heard, Mrs. Oliver looked over to Kim and asked, "Are you sure about that?
Taking a calming breathe, Kim answered her question in one word "Yes."
"I saw the birth certificate Mrs. Oliver. Nick's last name is Oliver and the certificate states that Tommy is the father," stated Jason.
Before anyone could say anything else, Trini came in carrying Nick who looked as if he had been crying.
"He started crying when he noticed you weren't around. We all tried to calm him down but he only wanted you," Trini said while handing Nick to Kim.
"Thanks Trini. You think you could give us a minute alone?" asked Jason.
"Sure, no problem," replied Trini before heading out the door.
As soon as little Nicky was brought into the room, all eyes went to him.
"Well Tommy, he does have your eyes," commented Jason.
"Why because there brown. Kim's eyes are brown." Closing the distance between himself and Kim, Tommy asked, "If I am supposed to be his father, then why did you send me a letter saying you left me for another guy?"
"The only guy I left you for Tommy, was Nicholas."

"It looks pretty intense in there. I mean Kim is in tears, Tommy looks pissed, his mother looks shocked, and Jason just look like he's caught in the middle," said Trini as she sat down in lawn chair with the rest of her friends.
"Well we could defiantly tell something was going in there because we could hear Tommy yelling all the way out here," said Aiesha as she took another sip from her lemonade.
"I would love to be a fly on that wall," said Rocky as he took another bit from his third hamburger.
"I wonder if their heated argument has anything to with their breakup three years ago?" asked Billy.
"I don't know, but from the vibes I was getting, I think it had something to do with Kim's son Nicholas" stated Trini.
"It's possible. Rocky where are you going?" asked Aiesha as she saw her boyfriend walking off.
"I'm going to fix me a plate of that crab salad Mrs. Oliver made. Did you want something?" asked Rocky as he made his way over to the table that held all the food and beverages.
Aiesha shook her head no.
"I wonder if Chris knows what's going on?" questioned Adam.
With a shrug of her shoulders, Trini stated "I don't know, but I know he was not in the there. As a matter of fact, where is Jaime?"
Trini's Car:
"You sure Trini doesn't mind me teaching you how to drive a stick shift in her car?" asked Chris as he looked over to Jaime with slight hesitation.
"Of course not, I did have her keys right."
"Okay, so look, her car is a 2005 which means it is an automatic and a stick shift. To switch between the two, all you have to do is simply move your gear shifter down to where you see the plus and minus with the 'S' in between to be in stick shift mode. Since there is no clutch, you simply use the brake as the clutch and shift the gears back and forth like so. I'm going to put it in 1st, so just watch what I do." And with that, Chris pulled off to show her how simple it was to drive the car.
"Okay. I think I'm ready to try it now."
"Alright let's switch seats." Getting out of the car first, Chris stayed there to hold the door open for Jaime and closed it when she got in. "Start off by shifting the gear shift down to 1st gear and pull off."
After going around the empty parking lot twice, Jaime was looking like a real pro.
"Looks like you got the hang of it really quick."
"Yeah well I had a great teacher." What seemed like a great moment for the two, was interrupted by the ringing of Jaime's cell phone.
Without looking at the caller id, Jaime already knew who it was. Picking up the phone, Jaime answered, "Yes Trini."
Without hesitation, Trini replied, "Where are you? And where the hell is my car?"

"The letter was a lie Tommy," Kim said in a tone above a whisper.
Tommy replied in the same tone, "Then how do I know that is not a lie also."
"Remember my last night in Angel Grove. Remember what we did Tommy. That was the night I got pregnant," Kim said looking Tommy square in the eye.
Forgetting that anyone else was in the room, the two ex-lovers reminisced about their past love affair.
"Yeah I remember that night. I also remember using a condom. Just like all the other nights we had together, I used protection," said Tommy not backing off his claim that he was not Nick's father.
"Oh yeah, remember when we had that pregnancy scare at the end of junior year, when we thought I was pregnant. You were so ready to take responsibility for a child then, why not know?" Kim questioned Tommy.
"Because back then, I knew that without a doubt in my mind, that I was the father of that child. But you come back after three years and expect me to just up and become father of the year to a child that I don't even know, are you serious" Tommy said getting himself all worked up again.
After calming himself down, Tommy turned to Kim and said, "You know Kim, there is an easy way to get to the bottom of all this."
"And what's that?" asked Kim.
"I want a paternity test."

"Your sister looks really mad," commented Chris as he and Jaime made their way into the backyard.
"That's not her mad face," Jaime said as they got a little closer to the group of friends. "Okay, now she is making her mad face."
"Where the fuck were you two for almost an hour?" questioned Trini as she approached the pair.
"Chill Trini, Chris was showing me how to drive a stick that's all," said Jaime as if it was no big deal.
"I'm starting to wonder which one of us is paying the note on this car you or me. You can't just jump in my car without at least letting me know that you have it or where you are going," said Trini calming down.
"Trini I'm really sorry, but Jaime said it was okay for me to take her in the car. If I had of known that you didn't know, I would have never agreed to teach her how to drive a stick in your car," said Chris with a sincere look on his face.
"Hey guys we really don't need you causing a scene out here when we already have going on inside the house," said Aiesha stepping in between the trio.
"What's going in the house?" asked Chris.
"We don't know. All we know is that Tommy, Kim, Jason, and your mom are all in there having some type of serious discussion," replied Aiesha.
"I guess I better get in there and do some damage control," said Chris as he turned to sprint into the house.
"So where did you two really go?" Trini questioned Jaime.
"Look, we went to an empty parking lot. He taught me how to drive the car then you called and we came back. Chris is a great guy. I thought that you would at least trust him since you have been good friends with his brother for so long." Replied Jaime.
"Your right. I will do my best and back the two of you," said Trini.
"Okay now that this Oprah moment is over, how about we go sit down and wait for the results of the Tyson Hollyfield fight that is going on inside the house," commented Aiesha as they all shared a good laugh and went to their seats.

"Are you serious Tommy?" asked Jason.
"As a heart attack," replied Tommy still looking at Kim.
"What's going on?" asked Chris.
We're in the middle of finding out your brother has a son," said his mother. Then addressing both Tommy and Kim, she said "If you two really want to do a DNA test, I can ask my sister Maria who works at Angel Grove Hospital to make you two an appointment to get one done."
"That's what I want mom," replied Tommy.
"What about you Kimberly?" asked Jill.
"It's with me," answered Kim.
"Well okay. Why don't you men go outside and leave me and Kimberly to have a little talk," said Mrs. Oliver.
Without a word, they all left the room.
"Kim, honey why did you wait so long to tell us about Nicholas?" Jill asked the woman she once thought would be her daughter in-law.
"Simply put, I was scared. When I got to Florida I was alone. I mean I had no one to turn to. Then came the physical. To say I was shocked is an understatement. Every since that summer, we were extra careful, but I guess it just goes to show you that those things are not 100. Anyway, once I found out that I was pregnant, they had me take teen parental classes. That's were I met Jennifer. She was a teenage mom also. Just like me and Tommy, she and her boyfriend thought they were in love. That was until she told him she was pregnant. He dropped her like a bad habit. He told that her that he didn't have time for a baby and that his parents would kill him if they found out he was going to be a father. After witnessing that, I panicked. I felt that if Tommy didn't know, then he could never hurt me like that. That's why I never told him and I'm sorry for that. Believe me I am," Kim explained with silent tears coming from her eyes as she rocked Nicholas to sleep.
"Kim after this test proves that Tommy is the father, I believe that he would make a great dad to Nick," said Jill as she wiped Kim's tears away.
"So you believe me when I said that this was Tommy's son."
"Of course I do. All I had to do was look in that little boy eyes. The first time I saw him in the grocery store last week, I knew it was something about his eyes that looked so familiar," Jill said smiling as she stroked the sleeping boys head.
"I'm gonna go see if Jason will give me a ride home. I think I have had enough excitement for one night," Kim said rising from her seat at the table.
"Before you leave, let me get your number and address at where I can reach you," Jill said as she went to retrieve a piece of paper and a pen.
Dr. Meyers Office:
Saturday Morning
After the screaming match was done, Tommy went outside and answered all the questions his friends had about what was going on in the kitchen. With their friends knowing the truth, they all agreed not to get involved and support their friends equally. When Kim arrived home, she called her mother and explained what happened now that she had finally told Tommy about Nicholas. Her mother explained that she would make time to come visit when the dust settled and have a talk with Mrs. Oliver that way both grandmothers would be on the same page. Kim had also called Kendall and Kenny and both said they would be there with her when she went to take the test. It seems as though the last couple of days had come and gone within the blink of an eye.
"So Tommy you nervous?" Jason asked even though he knew the answer just by looking at Tommy.
"What do you think," Tommy answered.
"Tommy, Kim the doctor will see you now," Tommy's aunt Maria said as she led them to Dr. Meyer's office.
"So Ms. Hart and Mr. Oliver, I see that you are here to determine paternity of one Nicholas Tomel Oliver," Dr. Meyer said as he read their file.
"Yes sir we are," Tommy answered for the both of them.
"Well this won't take long at all. All will need is a cotton swab from both parents mouths and one from the child. The test itself will take a minim of two hours to get the results," explained Dr. Meyer.
After Dr. Meyer's had taken all the DNA samples he needed, Both Tommy and Kim decided they would stay at the hospital and wait for the results.
What seemed like an eternity had finally ended when Dr. Meyer's called for Kim and Tommy to return to his office. Every one of their friends whom were out in the waiting area waiting for the results were sitting on the edge of there seats, including Mrs. Oliver and Kim's brother and sister.
"I'm glad that you both decided to stay and wait for the results. Now, in the case of two year old Nicholas Oliver," Dr. Meyer started which had Tommy sweating like a hoe in church.
"Tommy you are…………….
I know you want to know the answer, but I just had to put in another cliffhanger. So will the test make Tommy a father or not. You will just have to keep reading to find out. Thanks to all that have reviewed. You have my first fan-fic one that I will never forget. I truly thank you all. Please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions you may have. And as always please review.
