Chapter 6: Christmas in Angel Grove

Jan and James Oliver's House, Angel Grove

December 23, 1996

3:30 pm

Tommy walked up to the front door of his house after school and opened the door.

"Surprise!" Kim, Trini, and Jason said surprising Tommy.

"No way! You guys are here! Really?! Am I dreaming?! Ow!" Tommy said as Trini pinched him.

"You're not dreaming, Tommy, Merry Christmas, Bro!" Jason said, giving Tommy a hug.

"Are the twins here? Tell me you brought them!" Tommy said.

"Of course, I did. They're in the living room with your parents," Kim said giving Tommy a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, Kim! This will be the best Christmas ever!" Tommy said as he went into the living room.

"There's daddy, JT!" Jan cooed at the baby as she handed him to Tommy.

"Hey, little man, I missed you and your sister so much!" Tommy said.

"I missed you too, hot stuff!" Carrie said from behind the couch.

"Oh, hi, Carrie," Tommy said giving Kim a look. She mouthed "sorry" to him.

"I love your friend, Kim, she is so funny! She reminds me of that Rocky character," Jan said. Tommy and Kim looked at each other knowingly.

"Well, me, Carrie, and Trini will go to the hotel to get checked in and unpacked. Need anything from your suitcases, Kim?" Jason asked.

"No, just leave the diaper bag behind, thank you," Kim said as Jason, Trini, and Carrie left the house.

"You had to bring Carrie, didn't you?" Tommy asked.

"I need some comic relief in my life. Besides, maybe she'll hook up with Rocky, so she'll leave us alone," Kim said.

"Whatever, Kim. How long are you staying for?" Tommy asked.

"Until New Years' Eve," Kim said.

"Good. I better get cleaned up for supper," Tommy said as he handed JT back to his mom and went upstairs.

"Okay," Kim said as she started to talk to Jan and James.

Christmas came and went. Kim had the twins baptized on Christmas Eve with her friends, Tommy, and his parents there. After church they went home and opened presents.

It was now the day after Christmas. Tommy did his shift at the training center, not teaching but doing some filing of paperwork since there was no class until tomorrow.

A knock sounded at the door. It was Kat.

"Oh, Hey, Kat," Tommy said.

"Hey, Tommy. Can we talk?" Kat asked.

"Sure," Tommy said as they went into the living room.

"I'm sorry for the way I've been acting lately, and I'm sorry for how Tanya is treating you. I just wanted to let you know that if you need to talk, I'll be there for you, but as a friend, not your girlfriend," Kat said.

"Kat…" Tommy started to say but she hushed him.

"I know you still want to be together with me, believe me I do too, but I can't because you and Kim deserve to be a family and I don't want to be the other woman," Kat said.

"But Kat, me and Kim are just co-parents, that's all. We're not together or anything," Tommy said.

"I'm sorry, Tommy, please forgive me," Kat said as she left. Tommy just sat there, dumbfounded.

Holiday Inn, Angel Grove

5 pm

Tommy went into the hotel Kim, Jason, Trini, and Carrie were staying at and went up to Kim, Carrie, and Trini's room. He knocked on the door. A familiar voice spoke.

"Who's there?" the voice asked.

"Aisha? But, that can't be?! You're supposed to be in Africa!" Tommy asked.

Then the door opened.

"No, I'm just visiting, baby! Look everyone, Tommy is here!" Aisha said as she gave Tommy a hug.

Tommy was surprised to see Billy, Rocky, and Adam sitting on the beds. The ones that were missing were Zack, Kat, and Tanya.

"Did you meet the twins?" Tommy asked Aisha.

"Of course, I did! Those babies are too cute to pass up! You and Kim make cute babies!" Aisha said.

"I echo Aisha's sentiments exactly. Your children are adorable, Tommy," Billy said.

"The pictures don't do them justice!" Rocky said, eating a sandwich.

"Kim, can I talk to you for a minute?" Tommy asked.

"Sure, what's up?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, Kat broke up with me, said she thinks we deserve to be a family," Tommy said.

"Didn't you tell her we are co-parents and nothing else?" Kim said.

"Yes, I did, but she still broke up with me," Tommy said.

"I'm sorry, Tommy, if you want me to leave I will," Kim said.

"No, please stay. I need you and the twins now more than ever," Tommy said.

"Okay," Kim said giving him a hug as she sat back down.
