Chapter 9 - All Grown Up In Paris!

The lovely couple arrived at the airport, it was really early in the morning but they are very excited as they are both heading to Kimi's home country. Tommy got the luggage, paid the taxi driver and went into the terminal.

"Terminal 3, I think?" asked Kimi. "Yep it is, come on let's go" and they head to the table.

"Next!" said a voice behind the desk. Tommy and Kimi walked up and presented the tickets to the woman. "We're here for the next flight to Paris" said Tommy.

"Oh the 3:30! Sorry, but it is delayed for one hour due to engine trouble"

"Oh man" groaned Tommy.

"Sorry sir, there's nothing I can do" she said.

"That's alright" said Kimi and she got the tickets out of Tommy's hand and gave them to the attendant.

"Thank you! Please put your suitcases on the conver belt to your left and proceed to the departures lounge." so the two did what they did and they took a seat.

"Great what's there to do for two hours?" sighed Tommy.

"Well you can buy a paper or a magazine at the news stand or we can have a cup of coffee" said Kimi.

"Coffee sounds good, I need a tune up!" so Tommy headed to the coffee stand. There he smell the smell of caffeine. But since there was a long line, Tommy went to the news stand. There was nothing but newspapers and the only magazine they have (for Tommy) was the one called TRAINS.

"Okay so a TRAINS magazine for me and for Kimi maybe a Woman's pregnancy magazine" he said to himself. So Tommy gave the money to the clerk and he headed to the coffee shop as there is now a short line.

"Good evening or should I say Good morning sir!" said the man. "Wayne Trooper's the name and selling coffee is the game" he said cheerfully. Tommy chuckled.

"OK let's see, I'll have two cups of hot chocolate and two chocolate chip cookies?" he asked.

"No problem. So were you're heading?" asked Trooper.

"Paris, France on my honeymoon, but the flight's delayed" Tommy sighed.

"Paris, the city of love, nice choice, so who's the lucky girl?" Trooper asked.

"See that girl there?" said Tommy. And he showed Kimi lying down on the seats. "Her name's Kimi, she's the love of my life" he said happily.

"You're a lucky man, sir, I hope I'll find a girl to marry" Trooper sighed. Tommy smiled.

"I'm sure there's a woman out there for you?" Tommy asked.

"Maybe?" Trooper said. "OK well here are you hot chocolate and with the two cookies that goes to $5.80" Tommy gave him the money, he said goodbye and head over to Kimi, she woke up to see that Tommy returned with a magazine and a cup of hot chocolate and a cookie.

"Thanks Tommy" she said, "Just let me get up" and she pulled herself up as picked up her drink; "Every second, I'm getting heavy" she sighed.

"Hey your still a great woman" said Tommy happily.

"Even with a belly as a size as a watermelon soon" laughed Kimi,

"Yeah" chuckled Tommy back.

TWO HOURS LATER

"Will passengers for the 5:30 flight to Paris, France please board now" said the announcer.

"Well that's us" said Tommy and so they boarded the plane, Tommy put their bags in the cabinet as they boarded first class. Kimi was sitting by the window.

"You'll get the best views there" said Tommy. Kimi smiled. Later a business ma sat next to them with a laptop he was wearing a Berret. He then spotted Tommy and Kimi next to him.

"Bonjour Madame and Monsieur, I like to ask why are you going to france?" he asked politely.

"We're on our honeymoon. Why are you going?" Tommy asked.

"I'm going home" he said. "To my wonderful wife and beautiful daughter" he said. Kimi awed happily.

"And may I say congratulation on you getting married Monsieur" he said.

"Thank you sir" said Tommy. Soon the plane took off.

A FEW HOURS LATER

Tommy went to sleep and so did the french business man. Kimi was trying to go to sleep but something on her mind. She was squirming until she accidentally bumped Tommy. Her husband soon woke up.

"Kimi" he groaned sleepily. Kimi saw that she woke her husband.

"Oh I'm sorry Tommy. I didn't mean to wake you" Kimi said sadly.

"Hey it's OK, I see you can't sleep. Is something on your mind?" he asked.

"Yeah" Kimi sighed.

"Come here" and Kimi snuggled up to her husband. "Is that better?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah" Kimi said happily. "Tommy?" he began. "Yeah?" said Tommy.

"When I first heard about having this baby, I was happy but I was worried that you might not love me" Kimi said sadly.

"Kimi, I love you with all my heart and there's not a another woman for me in this world. I'll never find another Kimi. You're having a baby that can't be stopped, we just have to deal with it and have a life with it. I love you Kimi and don't let those awful thoughts get into your head. Life is great the way it is" Tommy said.

"Thanks Tommy, you made me better now" said Kimi happily and she hugged her husband.

"Hey I like hearing your problems it's natural for us" and so the two happy couple fell to sleep.

AT PARIS

The sun was rising and there stood the famous Notre Dame church and the Eiffel Tower. At the airport, Tommy and Kimi got their luggage and headed up stairs were there was a Reptar suit but a limo.

"Well at least Coco's not in charge" chuckled Tommy. And so the two headed into the green Reptar style limo.

"I wonder who rented this limo?" Kimi wondered. "It's not like we're important or something?" neither Tommy nor Kimi didn't know why a limo was there rather then a Reptarland bus. At the entrance there stand a woman with a sign saying 'PICKLES'. They went up to the woman and it was a woman that Kimi recognized.

"Anita!" she said happily. Anita was a close friend of Kira when she first moved from Paris after her divorce with Hiro. Anita is now the head of Reptarland and she have given Kira a job at Reptarland before she moved with the Finsters in America. Kimi remembered her when she was growing up in Paris as a baby.

"Hello Kimi, my you have grown a lot!" she said. "And who's this handsome young man?" she asked as she saw Tommy walking up with the luggage. "Anita" Kimi began, "This is my husband Tommy Pickles" she said. "A pleasure to meet you, Tommy Pickles" said Anita and she shook Tommy's head.

"Pleasure's mine" said Tommy kindly.

"Well let me show you to your room" Anita said and so Tommy and Kimi followed Anita to their room.

LATER

Anita showed them the honeymoon suite of Reptarland.

"So Mr. and Miss Pickles your Parisian holiday is here" she said as she opened the door. There was big chandelier light, a heart shape Reptar bed and a view of the theme park and the Eiffel tower.

"Thanks Anita" said Kimi and she hugged her. And so in the end Tommy and Kimi have one thing in common for the day..."Sleep!" they both said.
