Chapter 30 Another on the Way

October 21, 2003

Kira had been at Kim's studio for about an hour now and Kim had just ran into the bathroom for the fifth time already that Kira had been there. Kim had never felt so sick on her life. It was worse then than when she was pregnant with Emily.

"Kim, are you alright," Kira asked.

Kim looked at her and shook her head.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be," she asked.

Kira walked beside Kim, thinking she was going to fall over. Kim's face was pale.

"I'm just… tired," she said.

"Kim…" Kira began.

"Call Tommy," she said.

Kira gasped as she almost missed Kim from falling to the ground.

"Kim," she yelled.

It was at this time Kira wished that she wasn't the only person with Kim. She took Kim's cell phone found Tommy's name.

"Hello," Tommy asked.

"Tommy, it's Kira. Kim just collapsed," Kira collapsed.

"Okay, call for an ambulance. I'm on my way," he said.

Kira and Tommy got up as the doctor walked up to them.

"Well, can you tell us what's going on," Tommy asked.

Kira looked back from Tommy to the doctor. She knew it was killing him not knowing what was wrong with his wife.

"Why did Kim pass out like that," Kira asked.

Kira lowered her eyebrows as the doctor completely ignored her question.

"Mr. Oliver, how long has your wife been feeling like this," the doctor asked.

"A couple of days," Tommy said.

"She was throwing up every ten to fifteen minutes," Kira added.

The doctor then wrote it down on the chart in his hand.

"What's wrong with her," Tommy asked.

"Your wife is expecting, Mr. Oliver. Congratulations," the doctor said. "I haven't told her yet. You can be the bearer of good news."

Kira turned from the doctor to Tommy with a smile on her face. It faded when she saw the expression on his face.

"Why am I getting the feeling you're not happy," Kira asked.

Tommy gave a little laugh and smiled at her.

"I am," he said.

"But…" Kira began.

She knew there was more in his voice.

"It's just that with the threat of Mesogog and everything," Tommy sighed.

"Don't worry. Conner, Ethan, and I are ready," Kira assured him.

"I know you are," Tommy smiled.

With that, the pair went into the room to see Kim.

"How are you feeling," Tommy asked.

Kim slowly got up and smiled.

"Good. What about the baby," she asked.

Kira gave her a curious look as Tommy went on.

"The baby's… wait a minute. The doctor told me he didn't tell you," Tommy said.

"Tommy, I knew," Kim laughed.

"Why didn't you tell me," Tommy asked.

"For one, you were busy with school and getting the team trained. Second, with everything that was going on, I wanted to wait to wait three months… just in case if anything were to go wrong," Kim said.

Conner and Ethan walked down the stairs to the lab to find Kira, Tommy, and Kim with Emily in her lap already down there.

"Congratulations," Conner told Kim.

"Yeah, we heard the news," Ethan said, looking over at Kira.

"Thanks," Kim smiled.

"How far along are you," Conner asked.

"A week or two," Kim said.

"Damn, you women find out way too early now," Conner laughed.

He stopped when he saw Kira glaring at him.

"Mommy, why is everyone congratulating you," Emily asked.

"Because sweet pea… mommy is having a baby," Kim said.

Tommy walked over to Kim and kissed the top of her forehead.

"You're going to be a big sister," he told his daughter.

"Finally," Emily smiled.

Chapter 31 It Can't

November 1, 2003

Kira and Kim were walking out of her studio.

"Emily's real excited to be having a brother or sister, isn't she," Kira asked.

"Boy she is she ever," Kim said.

The two gasped when saw Zeltrax came towards them.

"Oh no," Kim cried.

"Kim, stay behind me," Kira said.

Kim felt somewhat weird having a teenager protecting her.

"I'm not here to kill you. This is just a warning," Zeltrax said.

"What do you want with us," Kira asked.

Zeltrax began to laugh.

"I don't want you silly girl. I want her," Zektrax said, pointing at Kim.

With a deep breath, Kim stepped from behind Kira.

"Me," Kim asked.

"Don't you recognize me, Kimberly," Zeltrax laughed.

"I have no… oh my God," she gasped.

She then realized who she was talking to.

"I'm back," Zeltrax said.

"What is he talking about," Kira asked.

"Stay the hell away from me, Jeff," Kim yelled.

"I will… for now," he said.

Kim swallowed hard as he disappeared.

"What was that about," Kira asked.

"Come on. We got to get to the house," Kim said.

Tommy fell to the chair after Kim told him what had happened.

"He what," he gasped.

"Jeff is Zeltrax. Tommy, he's back," Kim cried.

"Who is Jeff," Kira asked.

Tommy slowly got up from the chair.

"Someone from our past. That's all you need to know for now," he told her.

"Tommy. I'm scared," Kim sobbed.

He took her in his arms. Kira felt like she shouldn't be here after that.

"It's going to be alright. We're going to get through this," Tommy said.

"God, I can't stop shacking. Knowing he was in front of me is freaking me out," Kim cried.

"Sorry, but who is taking me home," Kira asked.

The two broke about and Kim wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I think Tommy should. I don't trust myself right now," Kim said.

As they began to leave, Kira turned back around to face Kim.

"Kim, it's going to be alright. With Conner, Ethan, and I around, this Jeff guy can't touch you," Kira said.

"Thanks, Kira," she smiled.
