"Trini," Kim murmured as she tried to block out the light in room. She had a horrible headache this morning, but was thankful to no longer be in Mesogogg's lair. The fact that Tommy knew let her know that Jason had told him what had happened but she had been warned it would go this way if she waited too long and obviously she had. However, part of that came from the fact that she was captured against her will.

"Kim! You're alive!" Trini yelled as Kim let out a low moan from the sudden noise. Trini did not seem to truly understand what it was like to be pregnant and running on only a few hours rest. "Sorry, you must be tired. Tell me, how did Tommy find you?"
"He didn't, some kid found me," Kim said as Trini barely nodded. The romance had long gone out of Tommy's white knight rescuing , considering that the last few times she had been much more likely to curse at him than kiss him for his bravery.

"You should have heard him last night, Kim, all he wanted was to be able to get to you. I've never heard him sound that desperate before, eve before Jason told him about the baby," Trini said, carefully, as Kim laid back down, trying to stem the nausea that she was now feeling.

"I know, it's all right, he just asked why I didn't tell him," Kim said as Trini just shook her head. She had known that Tommy would ask that, they all had, but she had hoped against all hope that Kim would just tell him first. "But let's not talk about that, let's talk about your honeymoon.

"No, Kim, it's time that you face him. He loves you and you love him as well. He will not abandon you Kim. Haven't you learned that already?" Trini asked as Kim looked up at the ceiling. To admit it to Trini was one thing, but to tell Tommy the truth was a completely different matter.

"I know, but I don't think I could stand myself if I abandoned him again," Kim said as Trini let out a sigh and Jason walked in.

"Who is it?' Jason asked, as this had to be the most un-peaceful honeymoon he had ever heard of.

"Kim and I'm trying to convince her to just take Tommy back," Trini said as Kim sighed.

"It's not like I've never tried Trini, it's just that every time it happens, we wind up having sex and I decided it's not a good time anymore," Kim said as Trini laughed.

"Tell him, be with him because until you are things will only get worse for the two of you. You have been targeted twice by association, there may not be a chance for him to save you if it happens a third time," Trini said as Kim barely nodded. She knew that Trini was right, but she did not want to think about it right now.

"And marrying him won't make me a bigger target?" Kim asked as Trini's eyes narrowed.

"You are carrying his child, as soon as they figure that out, it won't matter, they'll try to kill you or try to capture the baby once it's born. You've got to make a decision sweetie," Trini said as Kim closed her eyes. She was torn between what she needed to do and what her mind kept telling her was wrong. She had decided to leave him and now he wanted to be with her again. It made absolutely no sense to her that he would even want her again.

"I'll talk to him, I just wanted to tell you that I was alive and well. I need to rest, these last few days have been rough," Kim said as Trini nodded. She doubted that Kim would talk to him right away, but hopefully she really would this time.

"How is she?" Kira asked as Tommy walked into the living room and sat down in his chair. The experienced rangers knew it to be his and Trent just stayed away from it as the others had avoided it like the plague.

"All right, I guess," Tommy said as he hung his head and then looked away from them.

"What else is there Dr. O?" Conner asked as the old ranger looked over at them with a concern in his eyes that they had yet to see before from him.

"She's pregnant," Tommy said as Conner choked on his drink and Kira gently beat him on the back. "But that's not what I need to talk to all of you about. You might as well just know about it."

"What do you need to talk to us about?" Trent asked as Tommy looked at the clock and then the kids.

"This afternoon, come back. You have to get to school," Tommy said as they exchanged glances and then nodded that that was what they would do. They all could tell that Dr. O was not going to give them an excuse for being late, so they had better run.

"Tommy!" Kim called as she tried to find her way to the bathroom before she threw up all over his bedroom.

"What?" Tommy asked as he jogged up the stairs. He wanted to make sure she was fine, but he was still reeling from her earlier statement.

"Bathroom," Kim panted as he picked her up and carried her into his bathroom, just in time for her to throw up in the toilet.

"Baby, I'm sorry," Tommy said he gently rubbed her back as she hung her head over the toilet. She was sure that this was not the end of it and that she would soon throw up again. "What has your doctor said?"

"To eat as much as I can, try not to stress out and keep from getting captured," Kim said as Tommy walked over to his sink and dug out one of his old ponytail holders from the drawer. He then sat down behind her and pulled her hair back.

"Who is your doctor?" Tommy asked as Kim smiled.

"Rocky, who else did you think I would go to?" Kim asked as Tommy kissed her cheek. Her stomach was still threatening to turn over at any moment, but Tommy being there made her feel better, even if she was not sure where she wanted to go from here. "Don't leave."

"I took the day off, I'll be here as long as you want me to be," Tommy said as she turned around to face him.

"I don't deserve you Tommy," Kim said as she rested her head against his shoulder, as she looked up at him.

"Kim, home is where your heart is, you are my home. So we do deserve this, we deserve to have each other," Tommy said as he tilted her head up to him and then gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"I'm afraid to try to do this. What if I run away again?" Kim asked as Tommy leaned back against the bathroom wall and gently pulled her back with him.

"Do you want this child to grow up the same way that you did? Wondering which parent they'll live with and if they really care at all?" Tommy asked, gently, as she reached for his hand and gently led it over to her stomach.

"I don't but I'm not sure if I'm ready," Kim said as she felt his other hand rubbing her side. She looked like she was about to go back to sleep against him and he would let her if she could do that. He knew that she needed the rest now, especially after these last few days.

"You just have to be willing to try," Tommy said as Kim barely nodded as he smiled. "Let me take care of you, I promise that we'll make it somehow."

"Okay," Kim whispered as she turned her face into his neck and fell asleep out of utter exhaustion.

"Sleep Mama, sleep," Tommy whispered as he arranger her body so that he could easily pick her up. This was definitely a step forward for her, as opposed to her normal stance towards him. He just hoped it wouldn't change when she got better like it had so many times before.

"Why didn't you call me when she got captured? You know that I had to find out from Aisha what happened?" Rocky yelled as Tommy held the phone away from his ear. "Have you found her yet?"

"Yes, she's here at my house. Now, why didn't you tell me that she was pregnant?" Tommy asked as Rocky looked at his office door. He had known that question might be asked; he had just hoped that it would not be.

"I wanted to, but this doctor/patient confidentiality thing got in my way," Rocky said as he let out a sigh. "What did they do to her?"

"Torture her from what I can see. She's sleeping right now Rocky, so I can't really tell you anything else. We haven't really talked about that yet," Tommy said as Rocky decided to walk over to his appointment calendar. He only had two appointments this afternoon and unless one of them had a severe problem, he was sure that he could get to Reefside sometime this afternoon.

"I'll come up there, Tommy, I'll even bring Ish. I just need to make sure that she's okay," Rocky said as Tommy nodded. He was actually thinking of requesting this if Rocky hadn't volunteered.

"Thanks, Rocky, you'll even get to meet the newbies if you want," Tommy said as Rocky just shook his head.

"When will you give it all up Tommy?" Rocky asked as Tommy looked down at the table. A long time ago he had promised himself he'd quit when he had a family. The problem was, he was not sure that Kim would even go through with it all and the rangers needed him right now.

"When Kim really comes back to me," Tommy said as he heard Kim groan upstairs. "I've got to go, she doesn't sound like she's sleeping good."

"Okay, I'll see you in a few hours," Rocky said as he hung up the phone. In his line of work he was used to bringing lives into the world, but he couldn't help but wonder what would take Tommy out of this world. Tommy had always put others first and now for the first time he had to take care of himself, because if he didn't he wouldn't live to see his child grow up. That was something that he knew Tommy did not want to have happen, but unless he changed, he was heading down that road.
