Tommy left Kimberly at the Scott's house. He will be there for her. Ten minutes to ten he opened the door of his house, scaring Josie half to death, considering she thought that Tommy was spending the night at the Scott's house.

"Tommy, what are you doing here?" Josie yelled at him hitting him in the arm.

"What! I live here."

"You are supposed to be at Jason's. Mom said you were spending the night there." Josie told him hitting him in the arm again.

"Josie, stop hitting me. Kim is at Jason's so Mom told me to come home." Tommy explained rubbing his arm.

"And yet no one bothers to tell me. Starr and Max are asleep; Jasmine is getting ready for bed too. No one expected you to walk in the room and scare us all half to death. I thought you were an attacker or a kidnapper. Or maybe a monster trying to capture me again." Josie yelled hitting him with each word.

"OW, Josie, STOP hitting me. I'm sorry no one called you, to let you know that I was coming home. But if you don't stop yelling you are going to wake everyone up."

"What is going on here?" Jasmine asked standing in the doorway holding Starr's hand and who was rubbing her eyes as she had just gotten woke up by her big sister screaming.

"We are sorry to have woken you up. Come, I put you back to bed." Tommy told Starr as he picked her up.

"Jose said you won't be home tonight. Is your friend okay?"

"Yes Starry, she woke up and got to go home. So I decided to come home." Tommy told his baby sister.

"That will make Tracey happy; she has been so worried about her sister." Jasmine added.

Tommy looked down at his baby sister asleep in his arms. "Jazzy, I have something I have to tell you about Tracey." He said has he shifted Starr so he could sit down and not wake Starr up.

"Tommy, what happened?"

"Tracey is staying with the Scott's for now and possibly for good. Kimberly and Kevin are also staying there." Tommy explained.

"Why?" Josie asked.

"I guess that after Kimberly got hurt in the park, it opened a can of worms. It resulted in Social Service taking the kids away. Social Services is currently trying to terminate their parents' rights to them. Tracey will probably need a friend to talk to."

Jasmine nodded.

"Let Tracey tell you in her own way, don't let on that you know. Now you should get to bed before Mom and Dad come home." Tommy added.

"Jasmine, please take Starr and put her back to bed." Josie ordered.

Tommy passed the six-year-old to his sister and they left.

"So what really happened? Can Jack still see his step-siblings?" Josie asked.

"I guess he will at school, but outside of school, NO. Remember the argument they got into at the hospital in front of everyone." Tommy started.

Josie nodded.

"Well it wasn't the first time. They always fight like that and in front of everyone, well I guess Social Services has had enough of their fighting and using their kids as leverage against each other."

"Is Social Service really going to terminate Kimberly's parents' rights to her?"

"They are asking the court to do it, the judge has the final decision, so we have to wait and see what happens. In the mean time they are in foster care and are staying with Jason." Tommy finished up.

The door opened up.

"What, no Ranger Battle?" Michelle asked as she and John came in.

Tommy looked at his parents, but said nothing. Instead he changed the subject, "It is late and it has been rough couple of days." He said as he left the room to go to bed. He was surprised when he reached his room and his door was back.


Tommy was getting ready for bed, when there was a knock on the door.

Tommy smiled; he loved having his door back. "Come in!"

Michelle and John came in. "Glad to have your door back?" John commented.

"Yes, but I thought that you didn't know what you did with it."

"So, I lied a little. Just wanted to make sure you learned your lesson." Michelle answered.

"Don't worry, I did. It won't happen again." Tommy replied

"Just see that it doesn't, she has enough on her plate." John said.

Tommy nodded.

"Good night Thomas, we will see you in the morning." Michelle said giving her son a hug before she and John left his room.

"No matter what happens, Kim I will always be here for you." Tommy said as he drifted off to sleep thinking about his girlfriend.
