"So, what do you want to do?" Tommy asked as Jenny ran around the yard. He was definitely enjoying watching her, but he knew that he had to get ready for tomorrow, when Jason and Trini were going to bring his car up here. He was sure that he would be seeing Kim tomorrow, as it must not be normal for Jenny to be out of her sight.

"I want to stay out here," Jenny said as Tommy merely nodded his head. There was still plenty of daylight and if she was having fun, then it was worth it. He was sure that she had gotten used to being stuck in space for very long periods of time, which was something that drove him near to insanity. He couldn't help but wonder how Kim dealt with it; she had always liked being among real things.

"All right," Tommy said as he sat down on the tiny ledge that he had in front of his house. He then heard something land in the back yard and looked over at Jenny. He could think of what it was, but he did not want that possibility to cross his mind. He had just gotten through with Mondo's cronies. He did not want to have to see Mesogogg today.

"What was that?" Jenny asked as she stopped her spinning and looked over at Tommy. He had an unreadable expression on his face, but she had seen that far too many times on her mother's face. She knew that it meant that they were in trouble. "You're one of them too?"

"Not exactly, Andros and your mom are kinda permanently stuck. I just get called up a lot," Tommy said with a forced smile as Jenny walked over to him.

"Come on, let's go see what it is," Jenny said as Tommy gave her a completely confused look. She did not sound like an eight year old at all with that vocabulary.

"Your mom will kill me if something happens to you," Tommy said as she started running off towards the back yard and Tommy quickly caught up with her and scooped her up. "I don't have to look."

"You don't?" Mesogogg taunted as he landed in front of Tommy and he glared over at him as Jenny's eyes widened. "Who is this? I never remember you having any family Tommy."

"I've always had family, I just never thought evil should know about it," Tommy said as he lowered Jenny to the ground and she crept behind him and hid her face in his back. She didn't want to see what was happening.

"Where's your wife then?" Mesogogg asked as tryannadrones landed around them and Tommy reached back and pulled Jenny closer to him.

"She's busy at the moment," Tommy said as she squatted down next to Jenny and placed his communicator on her wrist and pressed the teleport combination. "Now, what do you want with me?"

"Where'd the little one go?" Mesogogg roared as Tommy chuckled.

"To be with her mother, where she's safe. It's not exactly safe to be around you," Tommy said as he looked at Mesogogg. "Do you really want to do this?"

"Defeating you is my only goal," Mesogogg said as Tommy just shook his head and settled into a battle stance. "Get him."

------------

"Hey, what are you doing back here?" Andros asked as Jenny landed in the middle of the room and she ran over to him and clung to him. "Kim!"

"What?" Kim asked as she took her time walking into the room. "Why in the world…"

"Daddy's being attacked," Jenny managed to mutter as Andros looked over at Kim and watched as she picked up her morpher and then teleported out of the room. She knew that Kim was righteously pissed right now, even if no one else would admit it.

"It's going to be fine, Jenny," Andros said as she shook in his arms and Andros let out a sigh. Kim had always sheltered her from this life as much as she could and Andros knew that Tommy would do the same thing. He couldn't help that monsters just seemed to pop up in his life.

-------------

"You ass hole," Tommy muttered as he continued to fight the tryannadrones that had surrounded him and he just shook his head. Mesogogg did not want to fight him, he just wanted to see how bad he could make Tommy hurt.

"Don't say that too loud," Mesogogg leered as Tommy's eyes narrowed and he slung off all the tryannadrones and headed straight for Mesogogg. He was tired of living this life, tired of constantly having to worry about what might come at him next. He wanted so desperately to be normal again.

"Get inside, Tommy," Kim said as she landed next to him and Tommy gave her a crazy look. "Please, I don't want anything to happen to you."

"I'll be fine, Kim," Tommy said as Mesogogg looked between the two of them and smiled.

"So, you're going to fight about who is going to stay and try to defeat me," Mesogogg said with a grin as Kim just shook her head and charged Mesogogg as she morphed into the red ranger.

"Damn it," Tommy muttered as he spared her one more glance before he turned to the tryannadrones. After several minutes of harried fighting, Mesogogg decided it was best to withdraw his forces and as he did, Kim glared over at Tommy.

"You can't even protect her from this!" Kim roared as Tommy looked over at her, completely shocked.

"I sent her back to you, to protect her. Unlike you I don't want to make her live in a space center meant for rangers in order to keep her out of harms way. She's going to have to live on Earth at sometime. You know that she wants friends, but she can't have that there Kim," Tommy said, calmly, as Kim powered down and walked over to him.

"I've been her only protection for years, so don't you dare tell me that I don't know what's best for her," Kim said as she shook and Tommy pulled her into a reluctant hug.

"You don't have to be the only one anymore Kim; she's mine too and if you had told me earlier, I would have helped," Tommy said as Kim barely nodded. She knew all of this about Tommy. He had always been too good for her and even though she had told him they could never be together again, he still wanted to try to make things good for their child. "Oh Kimberly…"

"Tommy please, I can't take it now," Kim muttered as he nodded his head and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I understand if you want to keep her with you tonight. She probably won't want to come back to this place for awhile anyway," Tommy said as Andros and Jenny appeared and Tommy reluctantly released Kim.

"I just came to drop her back off and collect her. I think that both of them need a good nights rest," Andros said as Tommy nodded his head in agreement. The concerned looked that followed Kim was enough to put Andros' worries at ease, Tommy was going to be one of them, in time for him to be able to help Kim with something that Andros could not face. He knew he would be failing his friend, but he would be failing in the entire ranger world if he did not at least try what so many others had long suggested.

"Daddy," Jenny whispered as Tommy squatted down and opened his arms wide to let her give him a vicious hug.

"It's okay," Tommy whispered as he looked up at Andros and Kim and saw Kim wiping her eyes as Andros teleported them away. She had never thought this day would come, when the two of them would be united, but it had. And it had changed absolutely everything that she had thought she would be able to maintain.
