Chapter 21: Baby Park's Arrival

Kim and Tommy's House, Reefside

6 pm

December 6, 2002

Kim and Trini were cleaning up in the kitchen after Sunday dinner, and Carrie, Rocky, Jason, Aisha, Jimmy, Tanya, and Adam were sitting in the living room.

Tanya was talking to Carrie and Aisha when she felt a sharp pain in her back which spread to her middle causing her to wince.

"Tanya, are you, all right?" Adam asked, concerned.

"Oh, it's probably nothing. I've been having contractions all day, and most of them end up being false," Tanya said.

"Whatever you say, Tanya," Aisha said as she went back to her conversation with Carrie and Tanya.

An hour later Tanya knew that the baby was coming. The contractions were coming closer together.

"Adam, I think the baby's coming!" Tanya said as a contraction hit her.

Adam jumped up from the couch and helped Tanya up.

Kim and Trini stopped what they were doing and went to help.

"Kim, here's my keys, go start my car. Trini, call the hospital and tell them we're on our way!" Adam said as he and Tanya walked slowly to the front door.

Kim went to the car while Carrie, Rocky and Aisha helped Adam with Tanya while Jason and Jimmy took over cleaning up the kitchen and Trini called the hospital.

When they got outside Tanya stopped then and felt something wet going down her leg.

"I was hoping that was going to happen!" Tanya said relieved.

"What?" Adam asked.

"My water just broke!" Tanya said.

"Oh man!" Adam said as he helped Tanya into the car, got in, and drove off.

9 am

The next morning Kim woke up to her phone vibrating. She picked up her phone from the bedside table and checked the caller ID. It was Aisha. She spent all night at the hospital waiting for her godchild to be born. Jimmy dropped her off before heading home.

"Hello, 'sha. Did she have the baby yet?" Kim asked.

"Oh yes, she did! We now have a little girl to spoil!" Aisha said.

"A girl?! I thought…" Kim started to say but Aisha cut her off.

"Adam and I thought she was going to have a boy, but that little girl proved us wrong!"

"What's her name?"

"Zenith. Zenith Katherine Aisha Park, eight pounds, nine ounces, 20 ½ inches long. Mama and baby are both doing well," Aisha said.

"That's good. The twins and I will stop by later," Kim said.

"Okay, I'll let Tanya and Adam know. I must call Rocky and Carrie next. Will you call Jason and Trini for me?"

"Sure, I will. Bye, 'sha." Kim said.

"Bye, girl. See you later." Aisha said as she hung up.

Kim got dressed and went to start up her laptop. She and Tommy usually chat in the morning on Mondays.

Once her laptop was on Kim went into their chatroom, but Tommy wasn't online yet, which was odd because he was usually online before her.

Kim picked up her phone and dialed Tommy's cell phone number. It went straight to voice mail.

Kim started to panic and called Jason and Trini.

"Hello?" Jason answered.

"Jason, have you heard from Tommy at all this morning?" Kim asked him frantically.

"Kim, slow down and calm down. I'm sure he's busy doing dinosaur stuff. Maybe he got called on a mission," Jason said.

"Don't say that word. That's a dirty, nasty word. Can you please call him for me?"

"Okay, if that will calm you down, I'll do it," Jason said as he said goodbye to Kim and hung up.

Jason dialed Tommy's number and it went straight to voice mail. Jason knew something was up when Tommy wouldn't answer his phone.

"Trini, I'm going to Mariner Bay. Don't wait for me," Jason called as he left the house.

"Should I go over to Kim's?" Trini asked.

"Yes, she needs someone to talk to now, and to keep her calm. We need to do what's best for the babies."

"And what's that?"

"Bring Tommy home, where he belongs," Jason said as he drove off.
