The next day, At Falcon and Crane gymnastic, Kim is standing in front of the balance beam where Jenny is on top of it. Jenny is sitting on both hands, lifting up her body and extending her legs out horizontally. Kim smiles, AJ, who is standing next to Kim claps. Kent is on the other side of her smiling
AJ. That's what I'm talking about Jen(They don't notice that Tommy has walked in. Tommy smiles in amazement at Jenny)
Kim: Ok bring it in Jennifer(Jenny takes in a breath and nods)
AJ: you got this Jen(Jenny moves her legs in front of her and lets her legs float in the air)
Kent: Make it stick Jen(Jenny pulls her legs under butt, stands up and goes to flip but stops hesitating on what to do next. Jenny looks at Kim who raises an eyebrow)
Jenny: I don't think I can do it Coach K.
Kim: Jenny you can do anything you set your mind too! I'm telling you once you do this, your going to look back and laugh at yourself.(Kent walks over to Kim and AJ)
Kent: You're amazingly talented Jennifer and your doubt in yourself is the only thing stopping you.(Kim nods)
Kim: Look we'll try again in fifteen minutes and I expect you to conquer it without any hesitation or fear got it?(Jenny nods)Jennifer we believe in you…it's time you believe in yourself.
Jenny: Yes Coach K(Jenny jumps down and grabs her towel. AJ high-fives her)
AJ: You did great Jenny! Better than before
Jenny: Thanks AJ!(wipes her face)
Kent: Asia Jane!
AJ: Coach Kent(he smirks and points to the beam)My turn(puts powder on her hands)
Kim: AJ remember….
AJ: Don't get to cocky(Kim smirks)I know! I know!(Kim puts her hands on her hips)Ok(looks at Kent)Can you turn on my music? I gotta get in my zone(Kent turns on the radio)My jam(walks up the stairs and stands straight up)
Kent: Kill it(Jenny walks over and Kim puts her arm around her shoulder)
AJ:(takes in a breath)Ok(gracefully does two back flips. Jenny smiles along with Kent. Kim keeps a straight face)You got this(walks on it and does another flip and lands in a split)
Jenny: That's what I'm talking about AJ(claps)
Kent: Come on(follows her down the beam)AJ stick it(AJ nods and sits on her hands, she does the same move as Jenny but she doesn't put her feet under her butt but does a handstand)Oh YEAH!(claps)that's my girl.
Jenny: She's doing it Coach K(Kim says nothing but watches. AJ walks a little on her hands before doing a flip and landing on her feet with her hands in the air)
Tommy:(cheer)Way to go AJ!(AJ surprised loses her balance)
AJ: WHOA!(she falls and Kent quickly catches her. Everyone looks at Tommy. Kim raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms)
Tommy:(winces)Sorry(Kent puts AJ down. Tommy walks over to them)Sorry!
AJ: Uncle Tommy….you almost made me break a leg…literally!
Tommy: I'm sorry AJ(touches her arm)Its just that was incredible…you both(looks at Jenny)were incredible!(AJ grabs her towel and wraps it around her neck)
Jenny: Thanks Dr. Tommy.
Tommy: I see you've been hanging out with the twins(smiles)Tommy is fine!
AJ: or Uncle Tommy(walks over and hugs him)He's everyone's Uncle(Tommy laughs)
Tommy: Uncle Tommy is fine too Jenny….it's totally up to you(Jenny nods)
AJ: So Coach K(looks at Kim)What did you think?(Kim says nothing)I got the routine from one of your old video's back in high school. How do you think I delivered it?
Kent: I knew that routine looked familiar! Pan Global….
Kim:(finishing his sentence)97(Kim walks over. Tommy back up a little as Kim walks up. AJ wipes her face and looks at Kim)Asia Jane(sighs and her eyes water)I think you executed the routine better than I ever could(touches her face)I'm so proud of you(kisses her cheek)
AJ: Thank you Coach K(they hug briefly)It was a honor! I'm happy that you loved it(Kim nods and fixes AJ's hair that isn't in a pony tail)
Jenny: If you do it just(walks over)like this at the competition….you'll win the GOLD for Sure!
AJ: Thanks Jenny(they hug and then let go)
Kent: I'm proud of you kid!(they high five each other)
AJ: Thank you Coach Kent.
Kim: Ok ladies….take fifteen I have to talk to Tommy(looks at Kent and Tommy who shake hands)Really quick.(Kim looks at the girls)
Girls: Yes Coach K!
Kim: Great(looks at Tommy and smiles)follow me(he nods)Kent, I should be back in 15….but if I'm not…
Kent: I know the drill(gives her a thumbs up)
Kim: Thanks Kent(touches his shoulder)(jokingly)come on Dr. Tommy(takes his hand and he smiles)excuse us(leads him up the stairs to his office)
Kent: Ok girls! Get some water and stretch! We start in 15(they nod)
Kim and Tommy walk in her office. Tommy being the last one in closes the door. Kim walks over to her office windows and closes the blinds. Kim turns to Tommy with a smile.
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Kim: Hi(walks over to him)
Tommy: Hello(they kiss each other)How was your day?
Kim: Long and still not over! I have to pick up the girls, grab food for the Scott's and drop it off. Then I'm helping the girls with homework.
Tommy: I could help with some of that stuff….I could get the girls.
Kim: No you can't(he looks confused)they're with their father.(he nods)
Tommy: Ok, then how about I get dinner for the Scotts'? I could also help with homework. I am a teacher(Kim nods)Besides I would think that Davis would help.
Kim:(laughs)Davis homework?(hits his chest)You just made my day(laughs)homework?(walks over to her desk. Tommy rubs his head and sits in the chair in front of her)Good one(sits down)How was your day Handsome?(wipes her eyes)/p
p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;"Tommy: You know the normal school stuff and fighting monsters before bedtime(Kim nods)
Kim: Oh joy(looks at her clock)You could pick up food for the Scott's?(looks at him)That'll give me enough time to get the girls and they'll have food by the time I get there.
Tommy: You can count on me(Kim stands and reaches over the desk)
Kim: Thank you(Tommy stands up and reaches over. They kiss)You're the sweetest(Kim sits down and Tommy does the same thing)person ever.
Tommy: You're welcome! Kim(they look at each other)not that I'm not happy to see you but I feel like something is on your mind.
Kim: There is(Tommy nods)Tommy we're having fun right?(he gives her a look)I mean our relationship…we're having fun right?
Tommy: Are you breaking up with me?
Kim: No(reaches her hand out)never(Tommy takes her hand)Could you answer my question?
Tommy: I think we are having more than just fun.
Kim: What do you mean by that?(he gives her a confused look)
Tommy: Um Kimberly(laughs nervously)What is going on?
Kim: Ok(lets go of Tommy's hand and stands)Ok(paces then stops and looks at him. He raises both eyebrows and smiles)Why is this so hard?
Tommy: I don't know Kim! But whatever it is….you can tell me or ask me(she nods and bites her lip)We've known each other for 15years plus….
Kim: Right(smiles and cracks her fingers)Ok! What is your expectation when it come to us?(he gives her a look)Like(walks over and sits on the desk in front of him)do you want to be married or have children? I mean I know we talk about getting married sometimes but it always seems like a joke. Which(quickly)is fine but um…..
Tommy: Are you proposing to me?(Kim stops in her tracks and gives him a surprised look)(smiles)I'm just asking because your acting a little weird.
Kim: and I'm trying to be serious.
Tommy: So am I! I mean if you are "yes" is my answer(Kim sighs)I'm sorry go on!
Kim: Tommy what I'm trying to say is….What do you want for us in the near future?(Tommy says nothing)Like where do you see us? I have never asked what you wanted. We're getting older and you don't have any children…and have never been married. AND WELL I have….
Tommy:(softly)I know.
Kim: It's selfish for me to know my wants and not even hearing yours. I just don't want to short change you in our relationship.
Tommy: I don't feel like you are Kimberly.
Kim: That's good….and neither did I! Up until the other day(taps her fingers on the desk)When you thought I was pregnant(he nods)Let's say that I was pregnant…
Tommy:(shocked)Kimberly(sits up quickly)
Kim: I'm not(puts up her hands)I swear to you that I'm not. This is an example.
Tommy: Ok(leans back in the seat)Sorry carry on!
Kim: "IF" I was pregnant…what would you do?
Tommy: Um….jump for joy(Kim smiles)
Kim: Ok, not what I meant.(takes his hand)What would be the next step for us?
Tommy: Well(without hesitation)marriage(Kim nods)Is marriage not what you want?
Kim: Well not for that reason(takes her hand away)that's so old school.
Tommy: That's what's right! You deserve to be more than a "baby momma" Kim.
Kim: I know but I don't want a child to be the only reason you marry me Thomas.
Tommy: It wouldn't be!(touches her knee)I would marry you right this moment Kimberly.
Kim: and that's the issue(stands up, walks over to her couch and sits)
Tommy: I'm confused!(stands up and turns to her)
Kim: I think we're moving to fast(slumps down into the couch)I love you Tommy. I really do but I'm not sure if I'm ready to marry you today or tomorrow or next year even.
Tommy: Kim(walks over to her)I said "would" doesn't mean I would drive us to Vegas without a discussion(smiles)Look I'm not going to deny that I want to spend the rest of my life with you(sits next to her)and I'm not going to deny that I want to have children.
Kim: Children?!(he pauses)Sorry!(softly)go on!
Tommy:(laughs)with you(quickly)but when we're both ready(sighs) Kim I want what ever you want….
Kim: You're so selfless(touches his face)but I want what you want as well(kisses his cheek)
Tommy: I want you Kim, I want your girls, I want this relationship(Kim smiles)I want us to be "OUR" forever's(Kim nods)
Kim: I want that too(sighs)I've always wanted that ever sense the first time I saw you at the karate tournament back when we were kids.
Tommy: Ever since I saw you at the lockers and Skull was harassing you about a date(Kim blushes and he touches her face)You know I saw him and his wife about a month ago. She kind of looks like you(Kim raises her eyebrow)She has the same brown hair and chin. But her eyes aren't as beautiful(kisses her a couple of times)and her lips aren't as beautiful and she's just not as beautiful(kisses her again)
Kim: Mm she sounds prefect for him(Tommy laughs)
"Tommy: So are we ok?(Kim nods)
Kim:(nods)Yeah we're ok(softly)I love you Tommy.
Tommy: I love you Kim(he kisses Kim on the lips then her head)So(pulls away)what do you want me to pick up for dinner?(Kim turns towards her desk)
Kim: They wanted Chinese(leans against him and Tommy holds her close)I'll order it. You pick it up(Tommy nods)You're the best(kisses his arm)Soooo about those children you want to have?(looks up at him and he looks at her with a cheeky smile)Yeah no way!(he laughs)
Kim walks in to the Scott's residence with her daughters. The girls run right in and into the living room. Kim sighs and takes off her shoes.
Kim: Hello(calls)Where is everybody?
Trini: Living room(Kim walks in and sees Trini holding Jace who is whining. The girls are standing over the bassinet looking at the baby. The room is full of toys and diapers)
Kim: What's going on in here?(hand sanitizes her hands)
Trini: Um Jace fell and hit his head, Rinny is going to need a diaper change, my parents are stuck in traffic and Jason had to go get the food because Tommy had a thing.
Kim: A thing?(Trini simply nods)Oh! He should've called me! I would've gotten it.
Trini: He said(kisses her son)that you were having a long day.
Kim: Not as long as you two bringing home a new baby(Trini smiles)Who do you want me to grab?(walks over to her nephew and he holds on to Trini)Ok.
Trini: I got him….he hasn't been with mommy in two days(Kim nods and kisses him)take Rinny.
Kim: I would love too(walks over to her bassinet where the girls are cooing at her)ok come here(picks her up and the baby yawns)(coos)Yeah(rocks the baby)did you girls say hey to Jace and Aunt Tree?
Trini: Just briefly(Kim looks at the baby and plays with her hands)I'm just hurt.
"Amy: I'm sorry God mommy(they go over to her and hug both Trini and Jace. Jace whines and fights them off. Trini sighs and looks at Kim who shakes her head)
Emma: Jace cool it!
Jace: My mommy! Get off us!
Trini: Jason Valentino Scott you be nice to your cousins.
Amy:(mockingly)Yeah Jason!(Jace pouts)
Kim: Amy don't taunt your cousin(Rinny starts to whine. Trini looks at Kim who holds her closer and kisses her)Someone is ready for that diaper change(sweetly)Auntie Kim will take care of it(walks over to the changing table)
: You need help Momma?
"Kim: I can manage thank you(looks at them)Girls start your homework please.
Amy: Ok! Come on Emma the faster we do this the faster we can play with the baby(they go to the table and start their homework)
Kim:(coos)Hey pretty girl(starts changing her diaper)How are you feeling Tree?
Trini: I need a nap(looks at her son who is falling a sleep)We all need one(rubs his head and looks at Kim)What is it?
Kim: Brown poop and looks like pee.
Trini: Can you mark the chart?(Kim nods and does what she is told)Thanks sister(Trini lets the chair recline)So Kim how did the talk go with Tommy?
Kim: It went(makes a yuck face before throwing in the diaper genie)well! We decided that "yes" we want to be(mumbles)married(puts on Rin's diaper)
Trini:(shocked)WHAT?(Jace jumps and whines annoyed)Sorry kiddo.
Kim: SHH(looks at her)Not right now Trini! We both agreed it was too soon(she nods and rubs her son's head)and also(wraps up the baby and picks her up)(coos)Hi my Princess Rinny Penny (rocks her)and it's to soon for the future children he wants to have(looks at Trini who looks shocked)I know CHILDREN(walks over to Trini)
Trini: How many is children?(smiles)Hi Rinny(to Kim)take him(Kim kisses the baby and nods)
Kim: He wants three(laughs)I'm not having five kids(gives Trini the baby and picks up Jace who is asleep)He'll be lucky if he gets one(lays her nephew on the couch and sits next to him. Trini starts to breast feeding her daughter)
Trini: You're silly!(rubs her daughters little face)but everything went well(she nods)That's all that matters and you guys know what you want.(the front door opens and in comes Tommy and Jason. Tommy quickly covers his eyes and Jason smirks at his quick reflexes) You two must have planned this(Trini puts the blanket over her breast and feeding baby)You can uncover them now Tommy (Kim smirks at Tommy)
Tommy: No(uncovers his eyes)we didn't plan it(goes over to the table and kisses the girl's head. Jason puts the food down and does the same)not at all…. just luck.
Jason: Hey Kim(she waves)(to Trini)How is everything going here?(goes over and kisses Trini's head)
Trini: Your son is asleep, your daughter is eating and your wife had some help. So everything is good here…other than me being hungry(Tommy kisses Trini's head)hey Tommy!
Tommy: Hey Mommy!
Jason: That is something I can fix(walks over to the food. Tommy goes over to Kim who is stands up tiredly. As soon as they meet in a hug Kim lays on his chest)
Tommy: You ok?(Kim smirks as he rubs her back)
Kim: Just tired(pats his chest and looks at him)
Tommy: Sit let me get your plate(Kim nods, kisses him, and sits back down. Tommy goes over to the table. Kim leans back against the couch and closes her eyes)/
Jason: Twins what are you having?(pulls out the plates)Mommy got your favorite.
Twins: Egg Fu Young?(Jason nods)Yes!
Amy: Thanks mommy(they look at Kim who is lightly snoring. Emma gets up, walks over, grabs her blanket and puts it over Kim)
Emma:(softly)Night mommy(kisses her cheek and goes back over to her homework. Tommy picks her up and puts her in her seat. Emma giggles. Trini smiles and looks at Kim who is sleeping and gone from the world)
So Kim and Tommy have finally had their "We're do you see us in the future" conversation and it seems like plans have been made. But will the plans fall through? and Why does Kim seem so hesitant? Gotta keep reading to find out.~RT
