Back in Love and Back in Pink - Chapter 10 / Happy Ever After?

Kim's POV
Me and Tommy walked out of the courthouse and got into the car and it was there we started our celebration, today was the beginning of the rest of our lives! Eric had been charged with attempted murder and had been sentenced to jail for 15 years with no parole and he had been told by his lawyer to give up his parental rights as he wouldn't be able to see Ciaran anymore as I said he couldn't see him and no court was going to grant him access with my attempted murder so he did... Me, Tommy and Ciaran were free to start living our lives the way we wanted them and forget about Eric for the rest of our lives.

Tommy had also been to court in the last couple of weeks for 'assaulting' Eric and the judge was so nice and said he would have done the same thing if he were in Tommy's shoes but that didn't excuse his behaviour, in the end the judge gave Tommy a warning and said that if he was in court again under any charge then he would be going to prison.

I had to admit that this had to be one of the best weeks of my life! We had finally defeated Mesagog, Eric had gone to prison for 15 years and given up all his parental rights to Ciaran, Tommy had got off going to jail and to top it all off... Me, Tommy and Ciaran were moving back to Angel Grove, back home.

When we got home we told Kira, Connor, Ethan and Trent the news and they were so happy for us. Ciaran was in daycare and when he got home me and Tommy where going to tell him that we were going back home to Angel Grove and I know he would be happy to be going home.

We had decided to let everyone stay for dinner and because it was such a nice day it had been decided that we were going to have a bbq to celebrate our day, Connor went and got Ciaran from day care as we set everything up. I know it was only a bbq and there was only a few people but we still had to make sure we had enough plates, cups, cutlery, sauce, food and drink for everyone.

The only thing we didn't have was ketchup and Ciaran will only eat burgers if there is lots of ketchup, so I was going to the store and Kira said she would come with me.

"I can't believe your moving back to Angel Grove" She stated as we walked into the supermarket.

"I was happy here but Tommy wanted to go home and be closer to his mum, I think he feels guilty that he doesn't see her very often... I know he speaks to her everyday but I think he really misses her" I explained.

"I couldn't imagine not seeing my mum everyday but yet here I am going off to college and to find someone to sign me all on my own" She stated.

"You'll do great Kira, your a great singer and guitarist they'll be fighting over you" She laughed and we continued our shop.

We got back with all our bags of shopping and walked into the kitchen "Gosh Kim thought you were only going for ketchup" Tommy said.

"I know but whilst we were there I seen plastic cups, plates, bowls and cutlery so I thought instead of spending hours washing up later we can use these then out them in the bin" I explained to him "I also got some ketchup, bbq sauce, mayonnaise and some bin bags for out here and I got more burgers and stuff incase we ran out" I was so pleased of myself, I could have a bbq at the last minute and have everything ready "Is Ciaran back yet?" I asked.

"Yeah he's in the garden, why don't you go and see him whilst I sort this stuff out" He was such a great boyfriend.

I walked into the garden and Ciaran instantly spotted me and ran over to me as fast as his little legs could carry him and when he got to me he jumped up and I caught him and picked him up "How's my big boy today? Did you have a good day at day care?" I asked him.

"Yeah I played in the sand!" He squealed excitedly.

"Wow , what did you do in the sand?" I asked and he told me every last thing he did at day care today and I was so proud of him, he could count to twenty now and he knew the alphabet, he was going to be a brain box like Ethan and Billy and yet be sporty like Tommy and Connor.

Tommy's POV
As everyone was waiting for the food to cook we decided to talk about our lives as power rangers and how grateful people were and how much good we did, it did make us feel knowing that because of us the world was now a safer place for people to live in. It was scary knowing how close we actually did come to losing that last battle with Mesagog and if we had lost it would have been our fault, it's a lot of pressure for someone no matter how old they are.

It was strange to think that I was now longer a power ranger but a man with a girlfriend and child to look after all in the space of a year it was crazy! I never thought that me and Kim would get a chance to speak properly again but yet here we where a couple in love like we were so many years ago and even though Ciaran wasn't biologically mine I was going to help Kim raise him as my own.

Moving back to Angel Grove was a big decision for me to make as I had only been here for a year and was really just starting to settle in with everything as I took so much time off when I had been frozen, invisible and all of that I missed out on getting know all my students and other colleagues but I guess that made the move easier, there wasn't goodbyes to make.

Hayley could get back to a normal life and just run the cyber cafe, Trent was going off to Art School, Kira was going to find someone to sign her, Connor wanted to open a kids soccer camp with Ciaran was invited to when it opened and Ethan was going to college to study Computer Science, everyone else was moving on maybe I should too?

I had already been offered the job as a science teacher at Angel Grove high and Kim had been given the opportunity to work at the gymnastics school as head coach, Ciaran was going into full time day care and he couldn't wait to see his old friends. Everything seemed to be falling into place but I couldn't help but think there was something that was going to go wrong because that's just the way I think... Everything seemed to be to perfect but Kim assured me everything was going to be fine.

"You OK Tommy?" Kim asked.

"Yeah just thinking about everything that's going on" I answered.

"Still thinking that it's all to good to be true?" She asked.

"Yeah, maybe I'm just a negative person but something is going to go wrong sooner or later" I told her.

"Nothing is going to wrong Tommy... We are going go live happy from now on" She said and kissed me "I promise" She stated and kissed me again.

"Well if anything goes wrong then I'm blaming you" I laughed and she went out to speak to the others.

Kim's POV
Tommy was being so negative! I don't know what more I can do to prove to him that make him realise that you can have a happy ever after. There was so much to look forward to now that Mesagog and Eric were out of our lives for good, we could get married and maybe even have children of our own and do all the things we used to talk about in high school all them years ago.

When everyone had left and Ciaran had gone to bed I flopped down on the sofa next to Tommy and we snuggled as we watched the TV "Are you feeling happier now?" I asked him.

"A little but I'm just waiting for something to ruin it, I'll be happy if nothing wrong happen but it's inevitable" He answered.

"You are so depressing! How about I make you a deal... If nothing bad happens in the next six months then we get married" I said.

"Are you proposing to me?" He asked in shock.

"Well yeah I guess I am... If nothing bad happens in the next six months then we get married" I told him.

"OK then if you are sure nothing will go wrong, it's a deal" We sealed the deal with a kiss.
