"We are going to have a new addition to the family."
"What; you are pregnant mom?"
"Yes I am; your father and I found out a few weeks ago and were waiting for the right time to tell you sweetie."
"Well I knew you were looking a little chubby mother." Kim jokes.
Her father laughs before Mrs. Hart gives him a look.
"Oh mommy I was only joking." "I cannot wait to have a little brother or sister running around here driving you two mad."
"Like you did whenever your father or one of the maids or cooks gave you ice cream."
"What can I say; I have a way of getting what I want."
"Dinner will be served in a few minutes; go freshen up then come down."
"Okay; see you two in a bit." Kim walks deeper into the foyer which has a stairway that has two sets of stairs. As she enters her room she barely has a chance to put her purse down when her phone rings. "Hello."
"OMG tell me all about the upper west side." Emily exclaims.
"Do you have me low-jacked or something?" "It was okay."
"Just okay; how were the people, the place, and where you there when the monsters attacked?"
"The people I met so far are very nice, the place is cool; it just needs a little adjustment, and yes I did see those monsters but the power rangers saved me and the others."
"Wow that must have been exciting." "So met any cute boys?"
Before Kim could answer her phone beeped. "Hold on someone is on the other end." Kim clicks back over to Emily. "It is Amy; I will click her in."
"Hey Emily; so she was just telling me about how we were both asking the same questions."
"I know right; whoa to be hanging out over there is going to be so cool."
"Glad you guys think so since most people will think it is a stupid idea and be snobbish."
"Of course not Kim; if you say that it is cool then it is cool, right Amy."
"Right Emily; Kim is always on top of things."
Kim rolls her eyes; they can be such followers sometimes. "So how about we talk about Emily's birthday; I have to go down for dinner soon."
"Oh okay how about you answer my question I asked before Amy beeped in."
"I did meet some cute boys in fact I have a date this Saturday with one."
"That will make Josh super upset I love that."
"Yea totally he will flip."
"Oh guys, Josh is so last year besides I think Henry will be more upset considering I have been flirting with him off and on this year."
"Still he will freak."
"I will deal with the problem if it arises.
Damn she has all the guys going gaga over her. Amy frowns into the phone.
"So tell us about this boy who has captured our Kimmy's attention."
"The boy's name is Tommy and he is absolutely handsome."
"Ah more details please," Amy asks.
"Okay but after this I have to go eat." "He is six foot one with long jet black hair and brown eyes plus he has an amazing body."
"Damn he sounds hot; can I come with you the next time you venture to there?"
"Ooh and me too," Amy pouts.
"Alright guys I go back there Wednesday; I can drive us there." "Bye guys."
"Bye Kim." "I will call you tomorrow to discuss my party."
"See you Wednesday Kim." "Wait a minute; are we going to the gala?"
"I am not going but you two can go." Please don't copy me.
"Well than I won't go either."
"Neither will I."
"We can do something better like meet up with those upper west side boys."
"Whatever got to go." Kim hangs up her phone. Damn those girls need their own mind. Before Kim can go into her private bathroom to wash up she is bombarded with IM's from her computer she answers them as quickly as she can before she heads down for dinner.
At the dining table Kim apologizes to her parents. "Sorry for the delay but you know how it is being the Queen Bee mother."
"I remember those days quite well."
"Remember those days you still are the Queen Bee although for the much older women of course." "So Kimmy how was the Juice Bar?"
"Fun daddy and Ernie is a riot."
"Ernie," her mother questions.
"His first name is Ernie; Mr. Hanson is like a funny teddy bear."
"Honey Mr. Hanson is the owner of the Juice Bar."
Mrs. Hart nods before sipping some water. "So Kim did you meet any other teens yet?"
Kim was about to answer when two maids came in with dinner. Saved by the food.
After the food is set on the table and the maids are back in the kitchen Kim's mother brings back up the question. "Kim did you met anyone today?"
"Yes mother I met quite a few people including a boy named Tommy who you will be meeting Saturday." Kim says the last part in a rush.
Mrs. Hart looks at his daughter. "Why are we doing that?"
"Yes please enlighten us princess."
Kim puts her fork down. "I have a date with him on Saturday."
"Already Kim but you have only been over there for a day."
"But dear she is a Hart besides she has my appeal."
Kim sighs, "please don't embarrass me." Kim knew her parents could be a handful at times.
"How would we do that sweetheart?"
"Oh I don't know mother maybe dad will give him a lecture or you mother sizing him up and calling him a beefcake or something."
"When have I done that; well recently," Mrs. Hart questions.
"Let's see I can do this in one sentence; mom you did that last month when I you saw me at the party with Tony and dad gave Paul a lecture two months ago."
"I did not call him a beefcake; I called him a hottie."
"Mom that is just as bad." Kim drinks her soda.
"I have to give lectures to any boy that takes out my daughter."
"Really dad and showing the gun collection is not cool."
"At least I don't make your dates go through a lie detector like Sandra's dad does."
"Still dad; please try to not be overbearing."
"Okay I will try but remember you are my princess."
"So honey what does he look like, does he work, his grades, and what does his parents do?"
"Mother I have only known him for barely a day." "His name is Tommy which I have told you, he is six foot one with black hair and brown eyes, he volunteers a lot, no idea about his grades or what his parents do for a living yet."
"What is his last name?"
"Dad; you are not going to have a background check done on him are you?"
Her father takes a bit of his steak. "Maybe or I just want to see if anyone knows his family."
Kim sighs, "Wow my sibling has no idea what they are in for." "He is adopted his father was a war hero and his mother was so depressed over that she got sick and died, he has a brother named Eric he just found out about." "Oh and he drives a white jeep and a green SUV; that is pretty much all I know."
"He sounds like a hunk dear." Mrs. Hart eats some of her salad.
"Mother promise me you won't do that on Saturday when he is here."
"What I had to get it out now but I will give you the thumbs up if he hot."
"Oh brother," Kim shakes her head.
"I will give a small lecture and show him my gun collection." Mr. Hart drinks some wine.
"Dad no; come on please stop teasing me."
The couple laughs. "Okay enough of that; so is the Juice Bar a good spot?"
"Yes dad; it is a great spot." Kim eats a piece of broccoli.
"That is super; I knew I had found a nice place."
