Later that evening Kim and Tommy lay the girls in Kim's bed, they are both sleeping. Kim sighs a little and Tommy looks at her
Tommy:(softly)you ok?
Kim:(whispers)yeah(looks at him)just a little tired is all(looks at the clock)they're going to need the antibiotics in six hours. Its 4:15pm so around 10:pm
Tommy: are you sure you don't need me to stay?(Kim looks at him with a smile and nods no)
Kim: Trini is coming by in a few to help me(he nods)come on! Let's let them rest
Tommy: ok(walks over and kisses each girl. Kim smiles and her heart melts along with it)feel better princesses(looks at Kim who nudges for him to come on. He nods. Kim turns and walks out. Tommy soon follows and closes the door slightly. Kim walks over to the couch which has no cushions and groans)what?(walks up to her)
Kim: I forgot(starts putting the couch together)they made a bed on the floor(Tommy starts to help her)and all I wanted to do was sit down(after putting in one cushion she plops down)oh well(Tommy smiles and puts up the rest of the cushions on the couch)your so good to me(he laughs and sits next to her. Kim leans against his shoulder and lets out a deep breath)mm my happy place!
Tommy: your mines too(Kim smiles, takes his hand and plays with his fingers)How are you really?
Kim: I am relieved it wasn't anything serious like the flu! I am sad that it is a minor case of strep but I know they should be up and running by Tuesday….well says Aisha. So to answer your question….I am wonderful and exhausted(he kisses her head)
Tommy:(laughs)good
Kim: and thank you for being here for us as well Mr. Wonderful
Tommy: of course! There is no place I rather be(softly)besides I(holds her close)I love them like(pauses and Kim sits up and looks at him)
Kim: like?
Tommy: like they are my own daughters(they look in each others eyes)is that ok?
Kim:(softly)yeah Tommy(nods)it is(they kiss each other before Kim lays back on his shoulder)and I know the girls love you just the same
Tommy: Kim are you sure you don't want me to stay with you?(Kim says nothing)I don't mind doing it. I can trade my shift tonight. What if Amy needs Doctor Tommy?
Kim:(laughs)I'll tell her you are at work at the hospital
Tommy: you really need to tell them the truth about what kind of doctor I am
Kim:(laughs)hey(pulls away and leans against the arm of the chair and puts her feet on his lap)it gives them a reason to not question where you really go at night(shrugs)you know its better then "he(whispers)fights evil monsters when he leaves so abruptly"
Tommy: Well(stops and thinks about it)your right
Kim:(laughs)I know I am(wiggles her feet)I am a genius(Tommy smirks and rubs her feet)mm thank you handsome(he simply nods)
Tommy: you going to rub my feet next?(Tommy gives her a serious look)
Kim: mm-hmm(closes her eyes)sure(he stops rubbing her feet)what(looks at him)are you doing? Why did you stop?(Tommy leans back and puts his feet on her lap)
Tommy: get to rubbing(Kim laughs and they hear the front door open)
Trini:(calls)Kim?
Kim:(calls)in here(looks at Tommy who is staring at her with a smile)I am not rubbing those things(gives him a playful glare)
Tommy: you said you would rub these things(Trini walks in with a worried face but then smiles at the scene)so...
Kim: I meant "mm-hmm sure" to after you gave me my foot rub
Tommy: I was done!
Kim: you didn't even start(pushes his feet)so no rubs for you(he wiggles his foot)off(pinches his baby toe and he winces)
Tommy: ow!(moves his feet and looks at Trini)(whines)Trini
Kim:(playfully glares)tattle tell(Tommy laughs a little)
Trini:(playful scorns)Children(puts her hand on her hip)play nice(Kim sticks her tongue out at Tommy and he does it back)I just left a three year old and now a three month old which are enough to make me pull out my hair(comes over to the couch and goes to sit between them. Kim and Tommy quickly move)now do I have to separate you two?
Tommy: no need(stands)I have to go Ranger duty
Trini: Awe so soon?
Tommy: yeah but I'll see you on the 25th for the cookout!(Trini nods)Kim are you….
Kim: Tommy(loudly)for the last time yes(laughs)go I'll be alright. Me and Tree have this under control. I promise
Tommy: alright(they kiss each other)but call me if anything happens with them
Kim: of course(he nods)please be safe(they kiss again)I love you
Tommy: I love you more(Trini smirks and turns on the TV with the remote)
Kim: and Tommy
Tommy: hmm?
Kim: thanks for the lovely evening(seductively)hopefully we can do it again really(Tommy lifts up an eyebrow)really soon
Tommy: sure name the time and place. I'll definitely be there(kisses her again but this time slowly and more passionate)
Trini: um(looks at them with sickened face)hello I'm sitting right here(Kim and Tommy pull away and Tommy stands up)thank you
Tommy: um(laughs)sorry Tree
Trini: Sure you are(turns to the TV. Kim rolls her eyes and looks back at Tommy)
Kim: says the person who has been killing my ears with kinky talk about her husband since she's been medically cleared(Trini gasp and looks at her. Tommy laughs)Yeah you! Your not innocent(Trini giggles and looks at the TV)see you later Handsome and please be safe
Tommy: you too(goes to kiss Trini's cheek but she moves)
Trini: just saw where your lips went(puts out her hand and Tommy sighs)take it or leave(Tommy takes her hand and quickly kisses it)ew(pulls her hand back and goes to swing at him but Tommy runs out. Kim laughs)(calls)I'm going to get you
Tommy:(calls)love you too(Trini wipes her hand off with the pillow)
Kim:(calls)please(laughs)turn on the alarm
Trini:(calls)and may the power protect you always
Tommy:(calls)thanks Night(they hear the alarm beep and the door slam shut. Kim looks at Trini as she moves over)
Kim: so(Trini looks at her)you might want to Sanitize your hand!(smirks)Tommy definitely did a lot with his mouth last night(Trini makes a sick face)
Trini: oh god(stands up)Now I'm going to have to cut off my hand!(Kim laughs as Trini rushes to the kitchen)
Kim:(calls)its not that bad(puts up her feet)(smiles)got my spot back(wiggles her feet happily, grabs the remote that Trini dropped and flips the channels)(calls)Tree dinner is on the table if you haven't eaten yet
Trini:(calls)ok! thanks! Have you eaten?
Kim:(calls)was waiting on you to get here
Trini:(calls)ok I'll bring you a plate and be right with you...relax
Kim:(calls)thanks your the best(mumbles)that's all you have to say(smiles)because I am pooped(yawns and closes her eyes for a second)
Emma's Voice:(weakly calls)mommy(Kim's eyes pop open and she's hears the water turn off)
Kim:(yells)coming sweetie(stands up and walks towards her room. Trini comes out of the kitchen with a mask on. Kim looks at her) what are you…
Trini: I have a newborn who can't tell me what's wrong if she gets sick….no chances(holds up a face mask to Kim)here take this
Kim: I rather not scare my kids(takes it from her)I'll put it on after I walk in(hears coughing)
Trini: oh boy not good(Kim nods no and they go to her room. Kim turns on the light and they see Emma sitting up)Sweet Pea what's wrong?
Emma: Sweet Peas(starts to gag)
Kim:(gasp)No Emma no(rushes to the other side of the bed. Trini quickly grabs the garbage can)wait(Emma starts to flex out)Tree hurry!(looks at Trini who throws it and Kim catches it) Emma(as soon as Kim slips it on the side of the bed Emma throws up in it. Kim sighs a thing of relief and looks at Trini who holds her heart. Kim let's out a nervous laugh)
Trini: that was close(Kim chuckles again)this is going to be a long night(Kim nods and Trini frowns and walks over)(softly)poor Emi(Kim looks at Emma coughs up her last chunk and sits up exhausted)alright(grabs a towel and wipes her face)are you done?(Emma nods and Trini lays her down. Kim puts the trash to the side and throws away the mask and towel)
Kim: excuse me(Trini moves and Kim climbs in the middle of her girls and lays down) ok(Emma instantly holds Kim and Kim rubs her head)Mommy's here(Emma closes her eyes)
Trini:(softly)she's falling a sleep(Kim nods)I'll take out the trash, get her some water, get you a new face mask and warm us up some food
Kim: ok! Thanks Trini(Trini nods and kisses Emma's head)can you turn on the lamp…
Trini: and turn off the light?(Kim nods)I got you(turns on the lamp, grabs the trash, turns of the light and walks out)
Kim: alright(turns her body slightly to Amy who is still asleep. Kim touches her neck to check her breathing and she pulls away. Kim smirks a little)she's gonna be ok by tomorrow. My feisty girl(looks at Emma who moans a little and frowns)Emma bee(rubs her back and Emma holds her closer)shh! Momma has you(Emma loosens her hold a little and snores)I always will(kisses her head)get some rest!(lays on her head and sighs)
Later on that evening Kim wakes up and looks at the time. It says 6:15 and her stomach starts to grumble. Kim takes her hands from around her girls and holds her stomach.
Kim: mm! starving(carefully gets out her bed. The girls don't even stir)ok(bites her lip and puts the blanket around them)good night babies(walks out the room and closes the door slightly)phew(walks towards the living room and hears Trini speaking with someone)
Trini: Aisha it's not that bad
Aisha: he put me on straight lock down(Kim winces and walks into the room. Aisha sees Kim first through the web cam)hey Kim(Trini turns to Kim as she sits down)
Kim: Hey Sha!
Trini: Hey sleeping beauty
Kim: Hey(stretches)sorry that I fell asleep
Trini: It's ok! I know taking care of two sick kids and Tommy can be exhausting(smirks at Kim nods)
Kim: Yeah(stops)wait(nudges her as Aisha and Trini laugh)stop it!
Aisha:(teases)you agreed
Kim: because I'm half awake and didn't catch the last part!(to Trini)did you eat?
Trini: No! I cleaned the girls room
Kim: you didn't have to do that
Trini: I know I didn't!(Kim smiles)I know I'm the absolute best
Kim: in the whole entire world
Aisha: what am I chopped liver?(they look at her)
Kim: if you don't know how I feel about you!(glares at her playfully)
Aisha: I(glares back) would like to hear it sometime
Trini: your the world's greatest Aisha! You know that(Kim nods in agreement)
Aisha: Aw! Thanks ladies
Kim: So what am I hearing about you being on lock down?
Aisha: I told you that he was not going to happy that I came to the hospital
Kim:(firmly)Tell Adam...that his nieces needed you
Aisha: I did! He is still giving me grief about it. He is just overly worried about our baby I guess.
Trini: How are you feeling though?
Aisha: mm! Normal! Pregnant(Trini nods)I mean a couple of weeks ago was pretty scary. But while I was at work earlier, I had an appointment and they checked me. Blood pressure was normal, baby was normal.
Trini: I still think the reason as to why you were bleeding even in the first place...was crazy
Aisha: and talk about embarrassing! Because Adam and I had sex earlier(sighs) that morning it caused my cervix to rupture a little
Trini: embarrassing and(winces) painful! What type of crazy love making we're you doing?
Aisha: I am ashamed to say it...I'm a dominatrix(Trini and Aisha laugh. Kim smirks a little)but no! I'm just happy it wasn't abdominal pain that went along with it. It could've been anything. Appendicitis, Hepatitis and it's Pneumonia weather. I could've lost my baby(Kim looks down)hey girl(Trini looks at Kim)anything from the peanut gallery(Kim looks at them)are you alright?
Kim: yes(clears her throat)of course! I'm just happy that the baby is ok
Aisha: mm-hmm!(glares)spill it Pinky!
Trini:(calmly)Kimberly what's wrong?
Kim: well(sighs)
Aisha: oh boy! It's something big(Kim sighs again)what's going on Kimmy cub?
Kim: Remember back in Hawaii when I said that I had something to tell you...but I had to tell Tommy first? (they nod)well I told him in Hawaii but I haven't found out a way to tell you guys or the prefect time.
Trini: Well does now seem prefect?(Kim shrugs)
Kim: maybe...but I rather say it face to face, with all five of us in a room and not over the computer.
Aisha: Well in that case(they give her a look)I can only give you half of what you want...which is all five of us in a room(calls)Kat! Ton(soon they come into the view of the camera)
Kim: Hey guys! What are you two(raises her eyebrow)doing over there?
Kat:(quickly)Rocky's brother birthday is today.
Trini:(playing it off)oh that's right!
Kat: and we had to check on mommy(reaches down to Aisha's stomach who smiles)before I headed back San Diego with Tonya. You know we are also staying for Tonya and TJ's house warming cookout on Wednesday(everyone nods)
Aisha: we need to go to Kim's house(Everyone gives Aisha a look)either you drive me or I will drive
Tonya: um cousin! Adam is going to kill you
Aisha: Kim has something to tell us and a face to face is needed(Tonya and Kat look at Kim who is nervous)
Kat:(worried)Kimberly! Are you alright?
Kim: Yes(laughs)why does everyone keep asking me that?
Tonya: because your face says something different(walks away and then comes back)I just closed the door because it looks like you are about to burst Pink
Kat: what's going on Kim?
Kim: mm ok! I didn't want to tell you ladies like this. But Tonya is right! I have to get it out(Trini takes Kim's hand and she smiles)this stays between us ok. I want Tommy to tell the guys. I should probably ask him before I tell you(mumbles)actually...this is his business too.
Aisha: or we can just kick your butt if you keep stalling(Kim smirks at her)just tell us Kimmy. We promise not to tell our husbands(Kim looks at Trini)
Trini: Scouts Honor!(Kim nods)
Kim: ok(quickly) I was pregnant with Tommy's baby but I had a miscarriage(everyone is now silent and Kim sees Kat sit on the couch with Aisha shocked)(quickly)in High School!(no one says anything)I got pregnant over spring break 96. I lost the baby due to stress, scar tissue and it was growing my tubes.
Trini:(whispers)Kimberly
Kim: I was on my way to tell Tommy...when I lost it.(sighs)I was so upset that I broke up with Tommy. Not to mention when I got home from the hospital a few days later...because they had me under watch. Someone or something put pictures of Kat and Tommy under my door, riding in a car together.
Tonya:(shocked)no way(sits by Kat)
Kat: no wonder why you thought he was cheating on you
Kim: in the past Kat!(swaps her hand and smirks)like I said Kat you weren't the reason for our break up sweetie(stops smiling) The Miscarriage(sighs)was
Trini: Kimberly(softly)I am so sorry
Kim: Tree!(smiles)it's ok
Aisha: no it isn't(they watch as Aisha stands up)(calls)Adam
Tonya: ow(holds her ears)what are you doing?
Aisha: going to Kim's house(calls)Adam
Kim: Sha! You don't have too...
Aisha:(cuts her off)I'm on my way(Adam quickly comes over)
Adam:(out of breath)what's wrong?(looks and sees all of the Ranger women looking at him)(cautiously)Kim! Trini!(they wave)what's going on A!?(looks at Aisha who has a determined face)uh-oh!
Aisha:(firm but calmly)"A" I'm going to Kimberly's house! She needs me and I don't want to have a argument about it(Adam looks her up and down and looks at Kim who has something different in her eyes)
Adam: Fine(looks at Aisha who kisses his cheek)
Aisha:(simply)come on ladies(to Kim and Trini)we'll be there in 20minutes(Kat and Tonya stand up)
Kat: make that ten...I'm driving(they laugh a little)
Adam: Not with my unborn kid and wife in the car.
Aisha:(sighs)Adam!(to the computer)see you soon(ends the call leaving Trini and Kim siting in a silent room. Trini and Kim look at each other)
Trini: Why didn't you tell me?
Kim: I(shrugs)don't know Tree! I was ashamed, happy and hurt all at the same time. I could only talk to my mom about it because she's the only one who I knew who had experienced a miscarriage(Trini touches her shoulder)
Trini: I couldn't image what you went through(Kim nods)I should've noticed
Kim: How?! I lived in Florida and we only spoke over the phone
Trini: Still! You were my best friend...you still are!
Kim:(softly)Trini I know...
Trini:(cuts her off)Wait this happened when I was in Switzerland?(Kim nods)I knew something was wrong! I should've pushed you harder to tell me. Especially when you told me that there was no other guy(quickly)I was too involved with getting together with Jason.(Kim sighs and smiles)I was too boy crazed! I should've noticed something was really-really wrong.(angrily)I blame Jason
Kim:(laughs shocked)for what?
Trini:(simply)for keeping me distracted
Kim:(quickly)Tree! It's ok(squeezes her hand)you did nothing wrong! AT ALL(softly)do you hear me?(Trini sighs and nods)You couldn't get that secret out of me if you tried. I was a hurt Teenager trying to be strong and grown. Up until a few months ago...I never realized how broken I was(Trini squeezes)but I'm getting better(smiles)and you are and have always been the most dearest and prefect best friend to me ok? You've always been here when ever I needed you and let you in. You are amazing(Trini nods)don't tell Jason I said that(Trini laughs a little)(laughs)he'd flip(their laughter soon dies down and they sit in silence)
Trini: Kim(they look at each other)can I hug you?
Kim: of course...crazy lady(Trini pulls her in a big hug. Kim lays on her shoulder and closes her eyes. After a few minutes they pull away. Kim and Trini both have tears coming from their eyes. Trini wipes Kim's away and Kim does the same for her. Trini laughs a little)What?
Trini: It's just(laughs) this is going to be a wine type of night?(Kim now laughs and nods in agreement)
Kim: Damn right(stands)good thing I have red wine for Aisha to sip on
Trini: where(stands up)are you going?
Kim: make a plate I'm starved
Trini: me too(they head for the kitchen. Kim picks up her cell phone from the counter and sees Tommy has texted)yeah he's texted you twice since you've been a sleep.
Kim: I guess I have to tell him I told you guys
Trini: ok! I'll give you your privacy...and check on the kids
Kim:(smiles)thank you Tree(Trini smiles and walks out. As soon as she walks out, Kim dails out to Tommy. After a few moments later he answers)
Tommy's Voice: Hey Beautiful
Kim: hey!(bites her lip)sorry I haven't been answering. I fell asleep with the girls
Tommy's voice:(laughs)kind of figured...and it's ok beautiful. How are they?
Kim: sleeping still
Tommy's Voice: Good(silence)Kim what's up?
Kim: Tommy I told them
Tommy's Voice:(confused)told who? what?
Kim: I told Tree, Kat, Tonya and Aisha about the miscarriage(Tommy says nothing)I needed to tell them(sighs)I'm sorry that I didn't consult with you first
Tommy's Voice:(sighs)Kim
Kim:(quickly)I told them not to tell their husbands. That's something that I wanted you to do. I have their word but Tommy I had too...it hurt...
Tommy's Voice:(cuts her off)Beautiful! It's ok(she hears him smile through the phone)you did what you had to do. I'm not mad at all! I was actually wondering when you were going to tell them(Kim nods)(concerned)how did they take it?
Kim: Shocked mainly(sighs)and supportive.
Tommy's Voice: did you expect anything but that?
Kim: mmm! Yeah I expected for them to be hurt and angry because I didn't tell them about the baby.
Tommy's Voice: they love and worry about you to much to be upset beautiful(Trini walks in the room with a smile. Kim looks at her)
Kim: I know! Hold on babe(to Trini)what's up?
Trini: Fever is going down for them(crosses her arms)everything ok?
Kim:(sweetly)perfectly!
Tommy's Voice: Trini is not mad at me is she?
Trini:(hearing Tommy)of course not Tommy. When I see you I'm going to give you a huge hug do you hear me?
Tommy's Voice: Yes ma'am!(the ladies laugh)hey Kim I have to go! Alarm just went off. I'll handle the guys and tell them soon ok?(Kim nods)
Kim: ok
Tommy's voice: I love you and I wish I could be there...but I know your in good company
Kim:(smiles)always! and I'm fine Tommy don't worry(Trini smiles)I love you too...stay safe and may the power protect you.
Tommy Voice: ok call you later. Bye Tree
Trini: bye Tommy(Kim hangs up)so I'll get the wine glasses
Kim: and I'll(there is a knock at the door)get the door(puts her phone down)
Trini:(shocked)that was fast(they hear the door open)
Aisha:(calls)Kim...Tree?
Trini:(calls out)Shh!(they hear the fornt door close and a set of feet walk towards the kitchen)Kat was burning rubber(the three ladies come in and Kim and Trini back up to give them room to come in)
Kat: yes! I had a need for speed(they laugh a little)
Tonya: where are the girls?
Kim: Resting!(everyone looks at Kim. Aisha walks over first and hugs her. Kim lays on her shoulder. Kim soon has two more sets of arms around her. Trini backs up and goes into Kim's wine cabinet and looks around)
Kat: We love you Kimberly
Kim: I love you guys too(they pull away but Aisha holds her hands and has tears in her eyes)Sha!(pulls her back in a hug and they hold each other)is it the pregnancy?(Aisha simply nods and they laugh)
Aisha: and your one of my best friend! I should've known(Kim rubs her back and sighs)
Trini:(quickly changing the mood)Hey ladies(they look at her and Trini holds up a bottle)I pump and dump! It's wine time(Aisha pulls away and smiles)
Aisha: I'll get the glasses(Kim shakes her head and smiles at her sudden mood change)
Kim: I'll help
Trini: Did you guys eat?
Kat: Yup!
Kim: Well(walks to the cabinet and pulls out a glass)we haven't so please excuse us
Tonya: then I'll get the glasses(takes them from Kim)
Amy:(calls)mommy! Aunt Tree! I need you(Kim sighs)
Kat: I'll get Amy!(Kim goes to answer)it's ok RJ just go rid of the virus. I know how to handle it(walks out)
Kim:(calls)thanks Kat(Aisha and Tonya walk out with the wine bottle and glasses. Trini and Kim look at each other)I love them(Trini nods with a smile)come on lets get some food(they start making some plates)
