Author's Note: I'm really sorry for the late update..I've had problems on both ends..but now I'm back..enjoy!!
Angel Grove Airport
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver headed through the side doors making there way over to the terminal with alot going through their minds
that is until Mrs. Oliver sighed heavily.." Come on Franklin..why would Tommy just be so careless..it's dangerous out here."
" Shelby..he's eighteen going on nineteen, he knows how to take care of himself..and he's about to go off to college, besides his
relationship with Katherine seems strong, so maybe he decided to settle the rest of his ties for Kim and probably the true reason
behind the letter." Mr. Oliver exclaimed
" But Franklin..Tommy was so less enthusiastic for an entire month..when we sat down to eat dinner he was sitting there in a gloomy
state poking at his food..and spending all of his time up in his room." Shelby informed
" Shelby dear..let me guess that you've changed your opinion about Kimberly?" Franklin queried
" Yes I have..and I have the right..our son's heart was broken in the most heart wrenching way..she cheated on him."
" Shelby..we don't even know the truth about our son and Kimberly's relationship..so please hold off on judging Kimberly until we find
out what really went down..so let's go back to the day when we met Kim's parents and her stepfather..Tommy smiled everytime she
hugged him, held his hand in hers or draped her arm through his the way he looked down on her was full of love..and compare that to
the first day we moved here he was like a zombie..then he was jubilant always with a smile on his face."
" I remember..cause I asked him what bit him on his butt."
" And he replied saying the infamous love bug has biten him..and the name is Kimberly Hart."
" She made him happy..but then she broke his heart Franklin."
" They were young and still in High School..we raised Tommy to man he is today..considerate and understanding..and we both new that
when Tommy told us about Kim being chosen and they all supported her..I don't think they'd realize what was playing out before them..
or have they ever faced..yes they made it through the first set of months..but at Christmas we both knew that Kim was trying to fight an
inner battle..so when she went back they did not have the same kind of reaction they had when she went to Florida the first time."
" No there wasn't any tears or long hugs or memorable kisses..but it's Tommy's life we have to be there for him."
Mr. Oliver sat down in the cushioned chairs and exhaled.." Pheeww..I thought that I had to point to you."
Mrs. Oliver rolled her eyes at her husband.." Anyway Franklin as you were saying."
" Maybe Tommy has forgiven Kimberly and they trying to restablish their friendship..after all they both need closure..so once we get there
please don't jump to any conclusions." Franklin insisted
Flight 8520 to Miami Florida departing from Angel Grove California please have your tickets out your flight is now boarding"
Both Parents made their way upto the correct terminal handing their tickets to attendant then slowly making their way down the tunnel and up
to the plane and into their coach seats.." I won't Frank..I'll try to be patient."
As soon as all of the passengers were seated the Plane made it's way down the lane and into the sky heading to its assigned destination: FLORIDA
Miami Florida
Tommy's Hotel Room
10:30 a.m.
Kim sat on the bed in a pair of pink shorts and a black tank top going through some important papers and documents while Megan was perched
behind her propped up on her pillow toothing on her binkie and kicking her liitle feet against her mother's back.." Is my baby having fun back there
kicking me like before along with your.." Kim sighed deeply as as she carefully removed the papers onto the nightstand then laying down next to
Megan who turned her head slightly looking over at her mother.." Brother..oh angel I really wished that Evan could be here..I just hope that as you
grow up..you'll be able to be happy knowing that someone close is watching out for you just like me and your father do..I just that I had the courage
to have told him the moment I found out then I wouldn't feel guilty." Kim whispered as she rubbed Megan's little feet and chubby legs
Tommy stepped off the elevator after arriving to his floor and walked down hall then stopped at his door taking out his keycard and sliding it down
and opening the door after the green light shined.." Hey Kim I got some stuff and something else." Tommy stated as he entered the room and closing
the door behind him and walking over to the couch Kim sat up on the bed then picked Megan up and went over to Tommy and sat down next to him..
" And the something else is what."
Tommy pulled out the gift box and opened it for Kim then removed the blanket
" It's beautiful Tommy..but where." Kim exclaimed
" Thanks..I wanted Megan to have this blanket with her name etched on the corner of it..so I went upto the receptionist desk and asked for a telephone
with a embroideiery shop..I was given a telephone book with a tag already in place so I called them asked a few questions then gave them Megan's
Name and they said it wouldn't take no longer than an half hour..so after I went to for a walk around the park to think about some things then I drove
over to the shop..checked it over before and after paying for it..they then wrapped it up and I left and went to the store and came back here." Tommy
revealed
" Do I even have to wonder what you were thinking about at the park." Kim inquired
" No you don't have to wonder cause it's probably on your mind as well..my parents will be arriving this evening..I haven't told them what happened a few
months after the letter..not even our friends know..and to be honest I'm not sure how my parents will react to the fact that they are grandparents..all I know
that from the tone of my mother's voice sounded less than happy to hear that I was here with you." Tommy replied
Kim sighed as she leaned her head on Tommy's chest while the both of their hands played havoc on Megan's ticklish stomach and feet.." The reason she
sounds disappointed is because I broke her son's heart..and she probably realized that I'm not worth any of your time..I mean why would you even think
twice..and to quote you..I'm being honest..I haven't even thought about what our friends might think about me..Jason hasn't called me in over a few months
and neither has the others..I guess friends don't even want to see or talk to me after what I've done." Kim stated softly
Tommy released a deep breath then lifted his left hand up under Kim's chin tilting it upwards so that their eyes were locked on the other.." We are in the
same boat Kim..and how about I call Adam..and see what he wanted."
" It's up to you." Kim said
Tommy leaned over placing a kiss on Kim's cheek then reaching over and picking up his phone and dialed Adam's phone
" Hello." Adam questioned after the second ring
" Hey Adam it's me." Tommy informed
" Oh hey Tommy..what's up?" Adam inquired
" Nothing much..I'm just relaxing and chilling out." Tommy answered
" Are you at home..if you are I can grab Rocky and we can head over there."
" Actually I'm not at my apartment..I'm out of town." Tommy says cryptically
" Where."
Tommy flipped his cell off then reached over and picked up the hotel phone and redialed Adam's number who answered after the first ring and spoke
before he did.." Sorry about that..my cell needed to finish recharging." Tommy explained
" Alright..no problem..so where are you?" Adam asked
" Way out of Angel Grove California." Tommy replied
Adam sat up on his couch thinking for a minute.." Are you in Florida."
" Yes I'm here..and I'm with Kim." Tommy reported
" Oh..click..hold on that was my other line."
" Okay." Tommy said
Adam clicked over to the other line.." Hello."
" What's up Adam." Rocky wondered
" Nothing much..Tanya's out at work..and I'm on the other line with Tommy."
" Cool I'm on my way over to his apartment."
" He's not there Rocko..matter of face he's out of Town."
" Click over..I know he told you where he's at and I rather not spend any more time asking you." Rocky insisted
Adam reclicked over the line.." Tommy..I'm back."
" Yeah..I'm still here Adam." Tommy reassured
" Good..that was Rocky..he was on his way over to your apartment..you could've gave us a heads up."
" I guess you guys should keep tabs on me then..I just got in my truck and left." Tommy retorted
" No..it's just that as friends we thought that you would have called before or during your drive and told us not to come by your house..anyways
have you talked to Kat."
Kim flinched lightly that went unnoticed by Tommy who answered Adam's proposition.." Before I left."
" So she knows that your in Florida with Kim." Adam implied
' In Florida with Kim' Rocky mumbled to himself on the other end of the line
Kim started to get up with Megan but Tommy's arm slid around her waist and Kim shot a glance at him in which he mouthed 'Stay put'
Kim rolled her eyes nontheless slipping back into the warmth of Tommy's comfort
" Yeah I'm with Kim and I told Kat that we should remain friends the relationship we had was platonic and nothing but that..and we both agreed on that..
but she just like you have no clue to where I'm am."
" Alright..so when will you be back." Adam asked
" I don't know when we'll be back." Tommy replied softly
" Hold up we'll..your bringing Kim back with you." Adam commented
' Please say yes' Rocky chanted over and over again in his head
" Yes..Kim is returning to Angel Grove with me..but we are also bringing another guest with us as well."
" A guest.." Adam retorted
Tommy looked down at Megan who looked up at him smiling then she smiled at her mother as well.." Yeah a cute one."
" What gives Tommy." Rocky blurted out exasperately
"Hey Rocko..I sort figured that you was on the phone listening in." Tommy exclaimed
" Well when Adam said that you weren't home I figured that he was already clued in on your whereabouts so I told him to click over and
let me in on this conversation..anyway where is Kim at..is she there with you now."
" Yes..I'm here Rocky."
" Hey Girl..what's up and how you been crane." Rocky asked
" Nothing much Ape..how's your back."
" It's good..I'd miss you though.." Rocky says
" Me Too Crane." Adam injected
" And I missed you guys as well..I know that y'all hate me and my past actions..and I understand if you two are just being civil here in front of Tommy
and I don't hold it against you two."
" Kim..I don't hold anything agaisnt you it was a shock for all of us that was hearing your words read out by me thinking that the letter was
good..listen though..you had to come to alot of conclusions about writing and sending the letter..but that's in the past none of was chosen to
compete in your world of gymnastics and none of us knew that you had to leave home and go to Florida until the last minute..and with all that
pressure dumped on your shoulders..it had to be hard..so I don't hold any animousity towards you." Adam replied
" And neither do I Kim..I was happy for you we all were..but I knew that eventually something big or shocking was just around the corner..
and now that your coming home we can restrenghtened our friendship all over again." Rocky added
Megan started to whimper a little bit in the background
" Is that a Baby." Rocky and Adam both questioned at the same time
Kim placed Megan's binky into her mouth who instantly settled down
" Uh..Guys." Rocky and Adam inquired again
" Yes she's our daughter..and she's nine months old." Kim replied
" And you kept this from Tommy..his daughter all this long time." Adam inquired
" Yes..but we've talked all of yesterday..and his son."
" You had two babies." Rocky asked
" Yes I had twins..but unfortunately our son didn't make it."
" Oh God Kim." Adam said softly
" What happened Kimberly." Rocky implied sympathetically
" The Labor was handled poorly..the doctor who was taking charge of the delivery said that everything was progressing smoothly except for
Baby B..so instead of them performing an immediate C-Section..they allowed me to give birth naturally and when he was pushed out they
tried to resuscitate him at least two times..but I could see that the umblical cord was around his neck and I knew that he wasn't alive..so I've
buried him in the Hospital Cemetary." Kim revealed softly
" And your suing them for their negligence." Rocky injected testily
" Yes..and the process is still pending."
" Kim why didn't you call us..we would've been there for you." Adam said softly
" I couldn't bear it if I had managed to stay on the phone long enough to hear the greeting then getting the response of being screamed at and to never
call you again..so I let the fear take over me." Kim exclaimed
" What are you guys gonna do since the both of you are moving back to Angel Grove." Rocky wondered
" We're gonna have it unburied and have it sent to Angel Grove were another funeral will be held for him." Tommy informed as Kim looked down as
her eyes started to tear up as she breathed in and out quickly. Tommy glanced down at Kim then he reached forward slightly.." I'll call you guys back
soon and don't tell anyone else about this conversation..just that I'm out of Town."
" We got it Tommy..see you soon Kim..bye you guys."
" Bye guys." Kim said as the phone clicked of on all three ends. Tommy carefully picked up Megan and walked over to the bed on the end where he
set two pillows around her then he went back over to the couch and picked Kim up and carried her over to the bed placing her next to Megan then
spooning behind her and kissed her on the back of her head.." I'm so sorry Tommy."
" Kimberly I understand to a certain limit..so it's no need to apologize."
" Yes it is..our son died and I buried him..when I needed you there to hold and console me." Kim stated as she started to cry.." I..should've..have..had..
you..there..with..me."
Tommy carefully tightened his arm around Kim's waist.." And I would've been there for you..but I'm here now..we'll be recreating the burial for our son
properly..and I'll be there for you..like you'll be there for me..with our friends and family..speaking of family..how did your parents take it."
" Half and Half." Kim said quietly
" Half and Half..what happened Kim." Tommy inquired
Kim inhaled and exhaled deep breaths.." Well my mother only knows the fact that I was pregnant when she called me to congratulate me on the win, I said
thank you but then I told her about more news and before I could even tell her I was expecting she told me now that I've competed in the Games and won
good acheivements that I have the rest of my life to settle down and start a family..but College should be my next on my agenda..and I agreed to that so I
told her that I've been accepted to CSU and she just went on and on until I told her that I was pregnant and she just turned her back on me so I hung up
and called my father expecting the same treatment but he stuck by me and helped throughout my pregnancy and when it came time for the birth he raised
hell when they handled the delivery carelessly..I'm really sorry that our son died Tommy..I deprived you of everything."
" Beautiful..we'll still have more to come and look forward to..I want you to believe when I say that I'm not judging you..the point you had your father to
help you out during that period of your life..and I bet that your father wasn't pleased to know that I had been very intimate with his babygirl." Tommy
injected teasingly
Kim laughed lightly as her hands came up to her face and wiped away her tears as Tommy's thumb brushed against both side of her face then she turned
onto her stomach letting her head fall down then lifting it back up and locking eyes with him.." My father wanted to come to Angel Grove..take you by
your collar and placing you up against the wall demanding you to tell him what right did you have to go that far with his daughter..he wanted to see your
reaction..but I told him about the letter and he dropped it and promised that he would be there unlike my mother and then he told me that sometime down
the road I'll find a way to tell you..but I never would have thought that you would come to me and see what's now become my life."
" Correction..what our life has become..we'll take it slow and then somewhere down the line we'll take the next step into the married life." Tommy said
" I'm lucky..even if I don't deserve your compassion or you for that matter..I promise I'll make it up to you everyday of our lives..that means I'll treat you
like a king from now on." Kim proclaimed
Tommy reached up and gently moved a few strands of Kim's hair behind her ear as a rose color tinted her cheeks.." We both should be counted for the
downfall of our relationship falling apart like that..I shouldn't have went to the park to mope..what I should've done was call you or get the first flight out
of Angel Grove to get answers to the multiple questions that was swimming through my head..so your not the only one to blame here..we both are and I
want to know if you can forgive me." Tommy wondered
" Of course I can forgive you Tommy." Kim said then she impulsively leaned down and kissed Tommy on the lips but pulled back quickly.." I'm so-sor-
sorry..I-I did-didn't mean t-to." Kim explained as she leaned up on her knees giving Tommy space
Tommy sat up and got off the bed and making a hasty retreat into the bathroom closing the door behind him and leaning up against it..' It felt just like the
first time..and I'm getting the same feelings I got after we kissed at the park' Tommy thought to himself as his head shot up.." That's it I'm gonna show her
that we can still be like the teenagers we were but with more positive attitude towards the way our life that has been layed before us..we'll further our
education and all of the dreams we have will happen when it's time for them." Tommy muttered as he pushed up off the door and opened the door and
stepping back into the room then glancing down at the bed were Megan was sleeping soundly surrounded by two pillows on each side of her then he
looked out towards the balcony
Kim slowly gripped the railing as the warm breeze softly went through her hair as her eyes where shut tightly.." Why..why..why did I have to go and do
that..of course part me never wanted it to stop..I mean I had no right to go and kiss him."
Tommy silently approached Kim then linked his arms around her waist making her jump slightly then relax.." Not to disappoint you beautiful..but I'd
enjoyed the kiss..and you had the right to kiss me otherwise I would've done what you did and then the roles would've been reversed with you inside
the bathroom and me out here or somewhere..Kim the kiss felt right..just like this." Tommy commented as he leaned down a little bit and placed a kiss
on Kim's neck feeling her shudder then sway.." I still can get to you..like you can get to me..just like the time when you and Jason was taking by Divatox."
" I remember that event clearly especially when you and the rest of Rangers came into the pit..I had to fight to hold onto my laughter."
" Why." Tommy implied
" Because Jason didn't tell me about your color change..in fact he didn't say much about you or the others..otherwise he would be on the receiving end
of something being thrown upside his head..cause he would've wind up trying to reason with me about my decisions..did he try it with you when he was
the gold ranger." Kim retorted
" No..but sometimes I could tell he was gonna start..but he just dropped it and left it alone." Tommy explained as he moved himself behind her and locked
his arms around her waist.." This is how it's gonna be from now on Kim."
" How can you be so sure about that Tommy." Kim inquired
" I'm not sure Kim..I'm positive..life has given us a second chance..and with a baby to raise..it won't be easy on us..but we'll be there for her just like she's
depending on us to love her and be there for her..and besides I'm not gonna make the same mistake twice." Tommy exclaimed
" Neither am I handsome..neither am I." Kim agreed as she leaned in towards him
Tommy's hand tilted Kim's head up and leaned down kissing her lips gently and feeling Kim's hand brush the side of his face Megan's cry wailed into their
moment
" Our daughter want's some attention from us..so you gotta get used to it." Kim stated as she took his hand and led him back into the room and over to the
bed to see their daughter laying on her with the pillow underneath he
" You know what that means Beautiful." Tommy suggested as he leaned on the bed and picked Megan up and brought her into the cradle of his arms
" Yes I do know what that means." Kim replied as she buzzard Megan's stomach which resulted in Megan kicking her feet and laughing.." It's time to break
out the playpen and walker along with extra supervision on this soon to be road runner..also she trying to learn how to walk."
" At nine months old..I think my mother had told me that at nine and a half months I was walking some..but most of the time I was holding onto anything
that my little hands go grip into..like my life depended on it."
Kim looked up at Tommy.." I'm scared..I don't know what to expect from your parents..they might not want me to step foot in their home anymore."
" If they don't then we'll cross that when it comes..besides my apartment has two bedrooms and Megan can have the spare room." Tommy said
" Good..but my father brought back my old house for me."
" Cool..since we are starting our relationship off slow..how about we come up with an schedule for Megan." Tommy applied as he looked down at his
daughter.." Then maybe mommy can join daddy on a few dates here and there..what do you think Megan shall Mommy allow me to take her on some
dates." Tommy injected as he kissed Megan's head and she smiled showing two little teeth then Tommy looked up at Kim
" I would love to." Kim replied
" Do you think Megan will give us a run for our money when she get's to the infamous " Terrible 2's" stage." Tommy asked
" Tommy she's half us..you better believe she will." Kim answered as she spread out a large cover and placed some toys on and the two of them sat
down and entertained their daughter for a few hours
