Chapter 9 Oh Baby
September 26, 1999
Kim and Tommy had been in Angel Grove since the seventeenth. They were staying with Trini in her guest room that Billy had been in. He had just moved out the week before into his own apartment. There was no doubt Trini had feelings for the former Blue Ranger, but she didn't know if he felt the same. Tommy walked into the living room where Kim was sitting on the couch, arms wrapped around her stomach.
"Hey, how you feeling," he asked.
Kim looked up at him and gave him a death glare. Tommy had to admit, it scared him somewhat.
"Tommy, I'm having contractions, how do you think I feel," Kim yelled.
By that time, Trini had walked in.
"Good point. How far apart are they," Tommy asked.
"About fifteen minutes," Kim said.
"When do you want to leave," Trini asked. "Everyone's going to want to be there."
"When they're five minutes apart," Kim said.

Tommy, Kim, and Trini were at the hospital an hour later. Kat, Jason, and Zack had been in Angle Grove for about four days already.
"Hey, how is she," Kat asked.
Tommy turned to fine Kat, Jason, and Zack behind him. He had been looking out the window while Billy, Rocky, and Adam were all sitting down. Trini and Aisha were with Kim in her room.
"She's doing great," Tommy said.
"Can we see her," Jason asked.
At that time, Aisha and Trini walked out of the room.
"Oh sorry, yeah," Tommy said.
"Tommy, you're so funny," Aisha laughed.
"Why's that, Aisha," he asked.
Kim had just given birth to their daughter two hours before.
"You can't keep your mind off Kim or Emily," Trini said.
Tommy then looked over at the room Kim was in as Jason and Kat walked in.
"They're my life," he said.
"I know they are," Zack smiled.
He was going to see Kim and Emily after Jason and Kat were through.
"Hey, Rocky still wears earrings, right," Tommy asked Aisha.
"Yeah," she said.
Tommy then began to take off his earrings.
"He can have these," he said.
She looked down at her hand as he placed them in it.
"Um, why," Aisha asked.
"If I'm going to be professional, that means they have to go," Tommy said.
"Wow, first the hair, now the earrings. What next," Aisha joked.
"Nothing else hopefully," Tommy laughed.

Tommy was leaning over a rail outside the hospital as his cell phone began to ring.
"Hello," he asked.
"Tommy, it's Anton," he said.
He let out a little moan. He really didn't want to have to be back in Reefside by tomorrow. Tommy had called Anton an hour ago.
"Oh, yes. How are you," he asked.
"Don't worry about me. How are your wife and the baby," Anton asked.
"They're both doing great," Tommy told him.
"That's good," Anton said.
Tommy then looked down. He didn't want to ask this question just yet, but it was going to have to be asked sooner or later.
"Um, when were you expecting me back," Tommy asked.
"Take as much time off as you need, Tommy. Just be aware that we got to start planning for the island," Anton said.
"Got it," Tommy said.
He sighed as he hung up the phone.

As soon as Tommy walked back into the hospital, he went to go see Kim. She smiled when she saw him walk in.
"Hey," Tommy said.
"Hey, Tommy," Kim smiled
"Still a little weak," he asked.
"You could say that," Kim laughed.
Tommy glanced at the little baby in the crib. He couldn't believe he was a dad.
"She's beautiful. Just like her mother," Tommy said.
Kim looked down and smiled.
"Not to mention she has her father's gorgeous eyes," she said.
"You think," Tommy asked.
"Yup," Kim smiled.
Tommy had been looking at his daughter. He finally looked back at Kim.
"So, has the doctor said when you're getting out," Tommy asked.
"Tomorrow. Ah, I was so pissed," Kim said.
She had hoped to be out by tonight.
"Hey, they just want to make sure you're fine," Tommy said.
Kim couldn't help but smile as her husband kept eyeing their newborn baby.
"You could hold her you know," she laughed.
"I'm kind of scared," Tommy admitted.
"I was too, but you'll be fine," Kim said.
Tommy slowly picked up his daughter.
"Emily Claire Oliver, welcome to the family," he smiled.
AN:
Kim has Emily with no complications. Don't forget, Tanya is still pregnant.
