2 months later:

After Tommy's birthday party, life seemed to go back to normal. Tommy continued racing and every chance he got; he spent it with his son. Kimberly was getting used to her new life back in Angel Grove. She was also getting use to the fact that she was no longer a single parent. Even though she and Tommy were not together, he was always there to help her whenever she needed it.

Things were also going great with Aiesha and Rocky. A couple of days after Tommy's party, Rocky surprised Aiesha with breakfast in bed. After smelling the aroma of strawberry pancakes and crisp bacon, Aiesha took off running towards the bathroom to pay homage to the porcelain God. Noticing that the same routine had happened for the third time that week, Rocky asked if he should make her a doctor's appointment to figure out if she had the stomach flue. Once Aiesha saw how concerned Rocky was, she decided to tell him the truth right then. After the initial shock wore off, Rocky was as happy as could be. He started off by jumping up and down in the bed screaming, "I'm going to be a dad" over and over again and then called his parents to tell them the good news.

Kentucky Racing Circuit:

Tuesday Afternoon

"Yes Kim, I know his birthday is in three weeks. Don't worry I'll be there. I'm not going to miss his party," Tommy assured Kim as he spoke to her on his cell phone.

"It's just that Nick hasn't seen you in two weeks and I was just wondering if you were going to be away racing on his birthday" asked Kim.

"Yeah I'm going to be there and I got him the coolest birthday gift. You're gonna flip when you see it," said Tommy as heard his name being called over the loud speaker. "Kim I'm going to have to call you back because they're calling my name for me to do my practice lap around the track," Tommy said as he was walking toward his stock car.

"Okay, be careful," said Kimberly before she hung up the phone.

"I will. Kiss the little guy for me. Bye."

"Bye."

"So Oliver, your wife giving you a hard time there," stated another racer named Scott Williams as he was also walking to his car to do his practice lap.

"Naw man it's nothing like that, me and Kim are not together. I mean we have a son together but that's it," said Tommy as he put on his racing gear.

"So you mean to tell me that you guys aren't dating or living together."

"I care about Kimberly but I'm not in love with her. Our relationship ended years ago and I'm over her." With that said Tommy put on his helmet, jumped in his car and headed for the starting line.

Kimberly's Apartment:

Tuesday Afternoon

"So what did Tommy say?" asked Trini as she came into the front room from the kitchen and sat on the couch.

"Basically not to worry because he was not going to miss Nick's party," replied Kim as she folded her and Nick's fresh laundry.

"But you still think that he wont be here," stated Trini while looking at Kimberly for the truth.

"I saw Tommy's race schedule and he has a race every three days for the next month. I just hope it's not a big race that he has to cancel to spend Nick's birthday with him."

"Trust me if it was the Daytona 500 race, Tommy would cancel just to be here. Nothing is more important to him than Nick. I see the way his eyes light up when ever Nicholas is around. The way his smile just seems like it is too big for his face whenever their together. Trust me, Tommy would move heaven and hell to get here," Trini assured Kim.

"I guess you're right. Within the last two months, Tommy has spent almost everyday with Nick. Nick has even started calling Tommy daddy," Kim said with a bright smile on her face.

"I know that just about put Tommy on cloud nine."

"Yeah, it did."

"Okay Kim, enough talk about Tommy, let's talk about this guy named Tyler at your job."

Angel Grove Beach:

Saturday Afternoon

"Nick honey, don't run so close to the water okay," Kim yelled to her son as she watched him run by the water with Rocky and Jason.

"Don't worry Kim, he'll be fine were all watching him," replied Aiesha.

"Just wait til you have your baby. You're gonna be just as over protective," said Kim as they started to set up there area for a picnic.

"I can't wait. I know our kids are gonna be the best of friends," said Aiesha while rubbing her slightly swollen stomach.

"They sure are. So what do you want a girl or a boy?" asked Kim as she sat plates out for everyone.

"I don't care as long as it's healthy. I know Rocky wants a girl, but I really don't care what we have because I know I'll love anything that we've created," said Aiesha looking lovingly at Rocky.

"So when is Tanya and Trini coming?" asked Kim.

"Tanya should be on her way and Trini went to her mother's house to pick up Jaime."

After another twenty minutes of conversation, everyone sat down to eat. During that time Tanya, Trini, and Jaime had arrived. They all sat around and talked about how their week had been and what was new in their lives.

"So Kim, has Tyler asked you out yet?" asked Trini as she took a sip of her soda.

"Wait a minute Kim, who the hell is this Tyler guy?" asked Jason in an over protective big brother tone.

"Well dad, he's this guy at my job that has been checking me out lately," replied Kim.

"And does this guy know about Nicholas," questioned Adam.

"No. More importantly, does this guy know about Tommy," yelled Rocky as he asked the million dollar question.

"Yes, Tyler knows about Nicholas. My son comes first. Any guy that wants to get to know me will have to accept my son as part of the deal."

"So he doesn't know about Tommy and Tommy doesn't know about him. Damn girl we might have to give you a pimp of the year award," said Tanya as everyone shared a laugh at that comment.

"There is no need for Tommy to know about Tyler. Besides, Tommy and I are not in a relationship so there should not be a problem with me talking to another guy," replied Kim to all her friends.

"So what does he look like?" asked Aiesha while getting funny looks from Rocky.

"Yeah is he pure girl candy or what?" questioned Jaime following Aiesha's train of thought.

"Well, Tyler is 6'2 with blonde hair and eyes as blue as the ocean water. He has a nice muscular build and the cutest dimple on his right cheek. He's very nice and very easy to talk to," answered Kim with a slight blush on her face.

"Come on guys lets take Nick to play in the water and let these women folk talk about Kim's new man. Because I sure as hell don't want to hear what he looks like or anything else about him," said Rocky as he grabbed Nicholas by the hand and started to walk toward the water.

"Feeling a little jealous Rocky," asked Tanya.

"Hell no. Plus why would I be jealous of him, Kim didn't say he had a butt as gorgeous as mine," replied Rocky as he acted like he dropped something so he could bend over.

"Boy stop that. Nobody wants to see your ass," yelled Aiesha.

"Obviously you did, mom," Trini replied with a smirk on her face.

Monday Morning:

After taking a taxi to drop Nicholas off at Little People's College Daycare, Kim herself then headed to work. Once she got there, Kim then noticed a beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting on her desk. Before Kim could read the little card that was inside the flowers, the phone on her desk began to ring.

"Hello."

"Hey Kim, its Jason. I'm not interrupting you am I?"

"No. I just got here what's up."

"Tommy called me early this morning and said that his race tonight was going to be on TV later. So the rest of us were going to meet up at my house and watch his race. Did you wanna come over and watch it with the rest of us?" Jason asked.

"Yeah sure, why not."

Before Kim could say anything else, Tyler walked up to her desk and sat down on the edge of it.

"Just pick me and Nick up from my house around 5:30. Is that okay?"

"Yeah sure. I'll see you then. Bye."

"Bye Jase."

"Wow, those are some beautiful flowers. You must be a real special lady to have some random guy send you those," said Tyler as he flashed a million dollar smile at Kim.

"Well let me read the card and see whom these are from," said Kim with her on award winning smile. "Hope these flowers brighten your day the way that you have mine. Tyler." After reading the card, Kim walked up to Tyler gave him a hug and said, "Thank, they are beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you," replied Tyler as he gazed lovingly into Kim's eyes. "I should let you get to work."

"Yeah, thanks again for the flowers."

And with that said, Kim proceeded to start her work day.

Kim's Apartment:

Monday Evening

"Come on Nick, lets go use the bathroom again before uncle Jason gets here to pick us up," stated Kim as she lead her son to the washroom. Potty training young Nicholas was not an easy task, but somehow Kim had managed to get her son potty trained before his third birthday.

As Kim and Nicholas were finishing up in the bathroom, Kim's cell phone could be heard ringing in her bedroom. Racing down the hall to answer her phone before whom ever it was calling hung up, Kim sounded a little out of breathe as she answered the phone.

"Hello."

"Hey Kim, I didn't catch you at a bad time did I," asked Tommy on the other end.

"No. I just had to run to catch the phone before you hung up. What's going on?"

"Just wondering if Jase told you about my race being on television tonight?"

"Yeah he told me. I'm just waiting on him now to come and pick me and Nick up to take us over his house where me and the rest of the guys are going to watch your race at."

"If you need a car to get around in, my truck is at my mother's house. Whenever I'm away on the road I leave it there. She has my extra key. You could always use it whenever I'm gone you know."

"I couldn't use your truck."

"Why not? Nick has to get to school in the morning and you have to get to work. I mean how much money do you spend everyday on a taxi? So after the race have Jase drive you to my mother's house and get the truck."

"Thanks Tommy. I will. So are you nervous about your race?"

"Not really. I got a chance to get use to the track all week and I placed in the top five when doing practice runs, so I should do well."

"Well then I guess I'm going to be sitting on Jason's couch watching you win," Kim said with a smile on her face.

"I guess so." Looking at his watch Tommy noticed it was getting closer to race time. "It's almost time to race. I gotta go finish doing the final check on the car. Tell Nick I love him and I'll talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye and good luck," Kim said before she hung up the phone.

Ten minutes after Kim hung up the phone, Jason was there knocking at her door.

Stepping inside the door, Jason asked, "Are you ready to go?"

"We sure are."

Jason's Apartment:

Monday Night

With the race about to get started, the on screen commentator was announcing the racers as their picture showed what position they had in the first ten spots.

"Well racing fans, it looks like it's going to be a great race today. Filling up the first top ten spots are car #84 being driven by Scott Williams, the second spot is car #43 being driven by Mark Horn, the third spot goes to car #33 being driven by Wayne Smith, spot number 4 is car #29 being driven by Thomas Oliver……….."

"There he is. Wow, Tommy looks great in his racing gear," said Trini.

"Yeah I agree with you there. I must admit, he is the sexiest looking racer out there," agreed Kat while being threatened by Jason.

"You weren't saying he was the sexiest looking thing you had ever seen last night," teased Jason.

"Hush you two the race is about to start. Plus I don't even want to know what you two were doing last night," said Adam as he settled on the floor with a bowl of popcorn.

After about 45 minutes, the race was quickly approaching the end with Tommy and Scott in driving neck to neck with ten laps to go. As it got down to the last two laps, it looked as if Tommy was going to lose his position when he spun out in the middle of a curve. Being able to maintain control, Tommy did a full spin and managed to keep the car going straight without having to come to a complete stop. While only having to drop back a few spaces, Tommy was able to catch back up top Scott on the last lap. With the last lap underway, Tommy and Scott were dead even with each other when at the last minute, Tommy shot out ahead of Scott and was able to win the race.

"Oh my God he won," screamed Kim as she watched Tommy make his way to his pit crew.

On the television, every body watched as Tommy jumped out of his car and jumped up and down and celebrated with his crew.

"Look mommy it's daddy. Daddy's on TV," pointed Nicholas as he watched his father on the TV.

"Yes baby, daddy won," Kim said as she watched Tommy get back in his car and take his victory lap around the track.

After Tommy completed his victory lap, he took his rightful place in the winner circle.

"It is my great honor to present to you Thomas Oliver on behalf of the Kentucky Racing Circuit here at Revell Track this check for $10,000. So how do you feel after having won a grueling and intense race that came down to the last two laps?" asked John Revell owner of Revell Tracks.

"I feel great. First off I want to great race to all the drivers and especially to Scott for testing me out there. I also want to say hello to my mother even though I know she isn't watching because she doesn't want watch and see me crash. Hey to all my friends in Angel Grove, my brother Chris and a very special happy birthday to my son Nicholas who will be three in two weeks. Now go to bed buddy."

After making his speech, Tommy held his check up high and continued to celebrate the rest of the night.

Two weeks later

For the last two weeks, Kim and Tyler were talking more and more and getting to know each other quit well. They had been out to dinner once and Tyler had actually ran into Kim and Nicholas at the park once on his way home.

Grand Crossing Park

Thursday Evening

"After he is done can I get pushed on the swings too," teased Tyler as he approached the swings where Kim was busy pushing Nicholas.

"What are you doing here," asked Kim as lifted Nicholas out of the swings.

"I was riding pass when I saw you out here. This must your son that I have been hearing so much about. How you doing buddy," said Tyler as he reached to shake Nick's hand.

"High," replied Nick as he shook Tyler's hand back.

Twenty minutes had passed as the three played in the park. Seeing as how it was getting late, Kim walked Nicholas to the parking lot to place him the child seat in the back of Tommy's truck.

"Wow, this is a nice truck. What size rims are those?"

"I have no idea. All I know is that while Tommy is away racing, this is my way of transportation," said Kim as she closed the back door.

"So is Tommy one of your good friends or something."

"You could say that. He's actually Nicholas's father."

"Oh," said Tyler with an uneasy look on his face.

"Look, me and Tommy are not together okay. He is just letting me use his car while he is out of town."

"Well now that I have that cleared up, you wanna go out with me again sometime," asked Tyler in a voice a little bit above a whisper.

"Why don't you come to Nicholas's birthday party Saturday."

I know it has been a while, but my writers block is now gone. As always, please read and review.
