"Mommy, wake up!" Jenny said shaking Kim at about five o'clock and Kim groaned as she turned away from her. Why in the world did their child have to be an early riser when neither one of them liked getting up before the crack of dawn?

"What is it sweetie?" Kim finally managed as she sleepily opened her eyes and Jenny just smiled down at her as Kim smiled back at her happiness. You would never be able to tell that she had been captured yesterday by the way that she was acting.

"Where's Daddy?" Jenny asked as she suddenly seemed to remember that she had been with the both of them last night. She, however, didn't know that she was sending her mother into a panic as Kim scanned the room, thinking maybe he had only walked to the bathroom, but that door was still open.

"Stay here," Kim said as she jumped out of bed and Jenny was right on her heals before she could even stop her.

"What's wrong?" Jenny asked as Kim picked her up and started downstairs, hoping that Tommy would be down there. She, however, did not see him on the couch or anywhere in the living room, so she continued on to the kitchen and saw it was still dark.

"We just need to find Daddy," Kim said, with a false sense of calm as she pulled on the jaw that Tommy had showed her earlier, praying that he was in the basement. She didn't see him when she walked down and she knew that she wouldn't hold herself together much longer, so she walked back up and did one more frantic scan before she yelled out. "Tommy!"

"Daddy!" Jenny yelled, mimicking her mother's tone, which was close to hysterical as Kim covered her face with one hand as she stood in the middle of the kitchen, scared about what was happening.

"What's wrong?" Tommy asked as he ran down the stairs and Kim let out a sigh of relief as Jenny reached out for Tommy, who quickly took her, but he was still looking at Kim as she lowered herself into a chair and covered her face. "Kim…"

"Mommy…" Jenny said as she scrambled down and walked over to Kim, who looked at her for a moment before looking up at Tommy.

"You scared me, Tommy," Kim said as he looked over at her and reached down and pulled her into a hug. "I didn't know where you were and I didn't know what might have…"

"Sorry, I just went into the guest room when I woke up a couple of hours ago. I didn't want to wake the two of you with my walking around," Tommy said as Kim nodded against his stomach and tried to stop the couple of tears that flowed from her eyes. "I'm okay, Kim."

"I know…the last couple of days just haven't been that good for me," Kim said as Tommy nodded, he definitely had to agree with her on that point. These last few days had been hell for the both of them, but they had tried to keep it together for Jenny although they didn't do a really good job of that.

"We'll be fine," Tommy said, reassuringly, as Kim just clung to him and he held her for a moment longer before Jenny began tugging on his hand and he reluctantly let Kim go to face their anxious daughter. "What is it sweetie?"

"I want to show you something," Jenny said as she ran off and Tommy followed her as Kim smiled at the two of them. There was no telling what Jenny saw or found that was interesting.

"What is it?" Tommy asked as she led him into the guest room and Jenny scrambled over the bed as he walked around it and sat down on the side next to her.

"Isn't this a picture of you and Mama?" Jenny asked as Tommy looked at it and smiled. It was their last Christmas together and there were so many things that he remembered about that time and what it had meant to the two of them. They would have never had a lot of things happen if not for that night, but considering the fact that they had sex twice and made a baby twice now made him wonder about something else.

"Yeah," Tommy said as he took a long look at it before handing it back over to Jenny.

"Where was I?" Jenny asked as Tommy just shook his head.

"You weren't around yet," Tommy said as Jenny gave him a confused look. She thought that they had had her really soon after this picture.

"But Mama said she came to see you before she was pregnant with me," Jenny said as Tommy smiled down at her and he nodded. He just didn't have to heart to tell her that it was a different time. He knew that telling her all of this would not make her feel any better.

"She did," Tommy said as Jenny looked at him, but didn't say anything. There was nothing that he could say to make all of this any better, but he knew that Kim was the one that had to tell her everything about them. When she was older, she'd figure it out, but he didn't want to explain it to her at five.

"Hey, you want to go back to bed honey?" Kim asked, in an attempt to them some more rest, as they two of them, as she could see the circles under Tommy's eyes and the both of them needed the extra sleep.

"No," Jenny said as Kim let out a sigh and Tommy scooped Jenny up and carried her out of the room, seeming to have enough energy to keep up with a five year old.

"Get in touch with Andros in a little while, I'm going to make breakfast," Tommy said as Kim gave him a startled look. She could not remember him having any cooking skills. "My mom taught me how to cook Kim, she didn't exactly like coming here and seeing the fridge full of frozen pizzas."

"Your parents…" Kim murmured as she looked between Jenny and Tommy and Tommy grimaced. Her parents would never say that they hated Kim, because that was not the truth, but it was going to be one hell of a story when they turned up with a little kid in tow.

"I'll call and see if they can have us for supper. There is no use beating around the bush for all of this," Tommy said as Kim just nodded and then looked down at her appearance and let out a frustrated sigh. He could see that she was not really excited about this idea, but there was nothing that they could do to change what had happened to them.

"All right and I'll go down and contact Andros so that he knows we're not coming in any time today," Kim said as she walked out of the room and Jenny just looked up at Tommy.

"Who are we going to see tonight?" Jenny asked as Tommy smiled over at her as he picked her up and placed her on the counter.

"Your grandparents," Tommy said as Jenny's eyes widened, she had never known that she had more than two. "They'll be happy to meet you."

"I get to meet your mom and dad?" Jenny said excitedly as Tommy nodded his head yes and the little girl scrambled off the counter and Tommy smiled as she ran down the stairs to go find Kimberly. He just hoped that his parents would not freak out this weekend.

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

"Hey," Tommy said as he opened the door and his mother bustled over and gave him a hug.

"Tommy, it's been too long," Susan said as she squeezed Tommy and he smiled down at her.

"It's only been a couple of weeks Mom," Tommy said as his mother looked over Tommy's shoulder and saw the guests that had come with him. As she recognized the face, her eyes widened and she began shaking her head no as she looked between the girl and Tommy.

"Kimberly?" Susan managed to ask as Kim nodded her head yes and she then reached out and gave the girl a hug. "What made you come back?"

"That's a long story," Kim said as Tommy nodded and his mother shook her head as Jenny was peeking out from behind Tommy's leg, looking up at her. Jenny was not normally shy, but she had been thrown into a completely new situation and Kim had never done this to her before.

"Who's this little girl?" Susan asked, squatting down so that she was closer to Jenny's level.

"Jenny Oliver," Jenny muttered as Susan's eyes flicked up at Tommy and he just shrugged his shoulders as his father walked in time to hear the little girls muttering.

"We have a granddaughter?" Mack asked, as Tommy nodded his head yes as his father reached down and scooped the little girl up and twirled her around as she giggled.

"You didn't know about me?" Jenny asked as Kim looked over at Tommy, who gave his father a look that said to lie.

"Of course we did, I just have never seen a little girl so pretty," Mack said as he gave Tommy a look that said they would certainly talk about this later. He had a feeling that Kim and Tommy were going to have a lot of explaining to do to get Susan off their backs about the current situation.

"Oh, okay," Jenny said as she jumped down and Tommy silently wiped his forehead. He was glad that his dad went along with it, thank goodness. He did not want for Jenny to think that they had absolutely no idea that she existed until she walked in clutching on to Tommy like he was the only thing that was going to keep her alive.

"Thanks Dad," Tommy said as he walked up beside his father and he smiled over at Tommy, knowing exactly what he was thanking him for. "How you been?"

"I've been doing pretty good, considering that I just found out I'm a grandfather," Mack said as Tommy gave him an apologetic glance. "I suppose that Kim made you promise not to say anything."

"Yeah, that and the fact that Jenny wouldn't even leave the room while I called you," Tommy said as Jenny was pulling Kim around the house now and Tommy tried not to laugh too hard.

"She's the both of you son," Mack said as Tommy nodded, although he definitely thought that she was more of Kimberly than of himself, he knew that his father was right.

"I know, but I also know that this is something that the both of us are going to have to get used to. She used to just having Kim and I'm used to dreaming of having this family…" Tommy trailed off as Kim walked up to him and he saw the concerned look in her eyes.

"Andros just called," Kim stated as Tommy gave her a confused look and she saw the concern in her eyes.

"What did he have to say?" Tommy asked as a shimmer of light started around him and they suddenly found themselves standing in the Command Center. "What the hell are you doing? How in the hell am I going to explain that to my parents?"

"That's the least of your worries right now," Andros said as he pointed to the screen and both of their postures drastically changed. "That is where we are going to have to go to get the power to relieve all of us from this burden."

"No," Kim muttered as she stepped away from the screen, seeming to hope that that would make it less real.

"Phaedos," Tommy said as he just shook his head. "Why couldn't you wait to tell us this?"

"Because the government sent this to us, they know that we have a ranger team that is in training and they actually said that if we can get it stable enough, they'll allow us to go," Andros said as Tommy shook his head in disbelief. Two days ago the government wouldn't even look at it and now they were saying that the rangers had free reign to go if they could train a competent replacement team.

"There has to be a catch to this," Tommy said as it just seemed too good to be true.

"They need to know if we can do it be tonight, not proof, but just us saying that we will be able to train this ranger team to protect the earth well enough that they will not have to worry about anything while we go and get the powers to be unleashed for the other rangers to continue after us," Andros said as Tommy took in a deep breath and looked over at Kim.

"We can do it, but you have to send me back home, now," Tommy said as the shimmers began again and they landed in the Oliver's living room.

"So, when were you going to tell us that you were a ranger?" Mack asked as Jenny had just finished telling the story to them and the little girl could see that Tommy was irritated, but he was not going to say anything about it.

"When I had to morph in front of you," Tommy said as Mack just shook his head as Kim looked over at them as she scooted behind Tommy.

"Kim, we're not mad at you anymore, we thought you'd come back one day and you are the mother of our granddaughter," Mack said as Susan nodded. The two of them had known that things were going on with Tommy and Kim when they were in high school, but judging by the age of Jenny it had happened a little bit later than when she had last been here and they were on good terms.

"I'm glad to hear that," Kim whispered as Tommy reached back and pulled her up even to him and she leaned against him.

"Well, I think we need to do some bonding," Mack said as Jenny giggled as he tickled her sides. "Tommy, go home son. The two of you need some time together and we'll look after her."

"Dad, I don't know…" Tommy began as Jenny interrupted him.

"Daddy, why can't I stay with Papa Mack?" Jenny whined as she gave him a puppy dog face and Tommy's heart just faltered.

"As long as it's all right with Mama, you can stay," Tommy said as Kim barely nodded her head yes and Jenny ran over and gave them hugs.

"Go, the both of you," Susan said as she shoved them out the front door and Kim looked back at it with a small smile.

"We'll be alone," Kim said as Tommy's eyebrows shot up and she smiled.

"Kimberly Hart, if I didn't know any better I'd say that you are suggesting…" Tommy said as Kim nodded her head that she was and he just looked at her. He had not wanted for her to say yes. He had desperately wanted her to say no, because it was a two hour drive home and this was not something that he could really handle for two hours. "You're going to be the end of me."

"I already am, Tommy," Kim said as Tommy smiled and he kissed her on the cheek as she climbed in the passenger side and he walked around to the other side. He knew that there was something waiting for him when they got home. He just didn't know what.
