Shoutouts:
fudge2428- I'm glad that you enjoyed the last chapter. I decided to expand a little more on their friends. I worked around Rocky finally telling Casey about being a ranger. I went into detail about their life choices for careers. I kind of felt like I should make it realistic and hardly anyone is doing what they wanted when they were in high school. Life happens and dreams change. Lol
cooldiva- I'm so glad that you thought Rocky and Casey were funny. I always thought that if Rocky weren't with Aisha (Which I pair him with more often than not) he would be with someone with a sense of humor similar to his own. Casey is so much to write, I'm thinking that I'll use her again in another fic that I have in mind, or even make a fic about Rocky and Casey as the main couple rather than the background couple. They sure would have a life of laughs.
zeopurple- I think it's Rocky's sense of humor that makes him ideal to nickname kids. LOL In this chapter you'll find out what Rocky nicknamed Jason and Kim's son. (Who I realized while editing this chapter hasn't been mentioned before, oops). So I guess I'll make that point clear. Kimberly and Jason have a three year old son names Jonathan. As for Nikki, just have to wait and see what I do with her.
DistantDream01- Glad that you liked the last chapter. Hope this one is up to par as well. Thanks for taking the time to review.
Lila- The end is coming, only a couple more chapters left. The next few chapters will deal with consequences for Nikki and Kat getting home. I have the ending pretty much worked out. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Vinatageranger- There's still more to come with Nikki and I've been working on a scene with Tommy and Kat talking about what they did to Nikki. Hopefully it will keep that realistic effect. I'm very happy that you are still reading my fic. I know that I didn't really impress you at the beginning, but thanks for sticking around and putting up with me. LOL Hope you enjoy
icekrim91- Glad to hear that you're okay. Car crashes are scary as hell. Also, Kim and Kat will be just fine. They'll have a chance to talk in the next chapter. Again, glad to hear that you're okay. Thanks for taking the time to review and hope you enjoy this chapter.
JasonLeeScottFan- Glad to see you back with us! Been a while since I got a review from you. LOL All I'll say about Nikki is… Just have to keep reading. LOL I thought that Tanya and Adam deserved a little bit of my attention. I hardly have written anything about them and I absolutely love them together. They're too cute! They have a little backstory in this chapter which will continue on. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for taking the time to review for all the chapters. Hope you like this chapter!
Katherine smiled weakly at Tanya and Adam as they stood by her bed. Tommy sat on the bed next to her wrapping his arms around her, which helped her to hold her arms around their son. She really didn't have the strength to hold her own baby, but she wouldn't admit that to anyone in the room other than Tommy. She wasn't one to show any weakness.
"God Kat, you had us all scared. The doctors weren't sure if you would ever wake up." Tanya cried unable to hold back her tears. Adam wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Kat frowned at her friend, wishing she could hug her to comfort her.
"I'm fine." Kat managed to say in a raspy whisper.
"Do you want some more water Kat?" Mitch asked from her left side. Kat simply nodded. Her father held out a cup with a straw. He held it steady as he pressed the straw to her lips.
"Hey there miss dancer lady!" Rocky called as he and Casey walked into the room. He set down the poinsettias on her bedside stand and turned to face her. "Think you finally got enough beauty rest?"
"Rocky!" Tanya gasped horrified at his joke. Tommy looked at him with wide eyes as Adam just rolled his eyes. Casey walked over to him and punched his arm before setting the mini Christmas tree next to the poinsettias. To everyone's amazement Kat actually began to laugh.
"I suppose I could always use a couple more weeks." she said with a little stronger voice. Rocky was the only one to laugh at her joke.
"More like a couple years." Rocky teased as he placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.
"Ugh, and here I thought I was super model material after all this time."
"That's not even funny you two." Tommy grumbled. But again Kat managed another laugh. Despite everything Kat was in a lighthearted mood. Tanya and Adam laughed as well, not at the small jokes between Rocky and Kat, but at the look Tommy wore on his face as he spoke.
"Relax Tommy. Katty's laughing about it." Mitch replied lightly chuckling himself.
"I'm sorry Tommy." Rocky shrugged.
"You don't have to be sorry." Kat said before giving Tommy a glare. Aidan suddenly let out a cry. Tommy kicked himself into father mode, taking the small infant from Kat's weak grip and walking over to the other side of the room with him. He took a bottle out of the warmer and checked the temperature. Finally satisfied he set himself down in a rocking chair with his baby boy and started to feed him. George sat in the other rocking chair napping with Alexis sleeping on his chest.
"It won't be long before she wakes up too." Tommy said nodding toward his daughter.
"I'll take her when she wakes up." Casey suggested.
"Oh Kat, he's such a good father." Tanya said as she sat down in Tommy's now vacant spot on the bed.
"I just wish I could do more." Kat whispered. Tanya reached over and hugged her friend.
"You will. You just need some time to heal. It won't be long before you're up and going." Tanya tried to assure her friend. Kat gave her a small smile a and nodded.
"Thanks Tan. I needed to hear that."
"Tanya is right pumpkin. Oh that reminds me. Dr Staple said that if your therapy session goes well tomorrow we can probably get you home by next week. Just in time for Christmas!"
"That's awesome!" Rocky cheered. "We're totally going to have a Christmas party!"
"Yeah, we can welcome the twins and celebrate your recovery Kat." Adam added. "What do you think?"
"I think we shouldn't jump the gun." Tommy said from his place across the room. "We don't know for sure if Kat will be getting out of here next week or not."
"Oh spoilsport." Kat mumbled causing Tanya to giggle.
"Since when is Tommy the voice of logic?" Rocky quipped. Tanya and Kat giggled even more.
"Humph." Was Tommy's only response as he set the bottle to the side. He carefully draped Aidan over his shoulder and began patting his back.
"Oh Tommy, you look so adorable with your son." Casey squealed. "What a good daddy you are." Her hazel danced with pure joy. Tommy knew that Rocky was indeed a lucky man to have captured the heart of such a lovely woman.
Alexis began to wail signaling that she too was in need of some nutrition. George began to stir but Casey quickly retrieved the screaming baby from his arms. "You can sleep some more Mr. Oliver, I've got Alexis." George nodded his sleepy head and closed his eyes again. He hadn't slept much in the last couple of days since it was his turn to help Tommy with the twins. George, Tina, and Mitch were taking turns staying over at the hospital with Tommy to help take care of the twins. The chairs weren't very comfortable for sleeping and having two crying babies left little time for sleep.
"Dad, why don't you go back to my place, Mom's there right now. I'm sure you could use the sleep. We had a long night and that rocking chair isn't all that comfortable."
"You sure you don't mind Tommy. I don't want to leave you alone with the kids." George replied without opening his eyes.
"Dad, look around. I've got lots of people here. Go ahead and go get some sleep." Tommy replied.
"Well when you put it that way… I suppose a good nap on a nice fluffy bed…" George wearily stood from the chair.
"Whoa there George. I think I better drive you." Mitch said leaving Kat's side.
"I'll be okay Mitch." George argued.
"You're practically asleep on your feet. We're not as young as we used to be you know." Mitch laughed. "Besides, I've been here all day too. Come on, I'll make dinner you and Tina."
"You're gonna cook Mr. H?" Rocky's face lit up. Everyone knew that Mitch Hillard was an excellent cook and that Rocky loved Mitch's cooking only slightly less than his own mothers. Rocky managed to swindle his way into staying for dinner at Kat's more than once during high school.
"Somebody slap him for me." Casey groaned. She would have smacked him herself but she was currently feeding Alexis. Adam reached out and slapped the back of Rocky's head causing everyone in the room to chuckle.
"Ow. What was that for?" Rocky asked as he gave Adam and scowl.
"For thinking with your stomach again." Casey replied.
"It would be a miracle if Rocky didn't think with his stomach." Tanya quipped. Rocky just made a pouting face and crossed his arms.
"If you really want Rocky, I'll save you a plate. Just stop by Kat and Tommy's on your way home." Mitch said as he and George left the room.
"See. Mr. H Totally loves me!" Rocky grinned. Casey just rolled her eyes.
"You know, Dad always made double the amount of food when you were at our house because somehow you always managed to stay till dinner." Kat said.
"What can I say? The man has serious cooking skill." Rocky beamed. Kat just smiled and rolled her eyes.
"You know, I'm surprised as hell that you didn't become a chef or something Rocky." Tommy said he gently laid his sleeping son into the bassinet.
"Yeah well… I thought about it…"
"Rocky got in trouble at cooking school for taking too many tastes of his dishes. He hardly had anything to serve by the time he was done." Adam laughed. Rocky shot him yet another glare.
"I didn't even know you went to cooking school." Kat said in pure amazement.
"Yeah I started. I only lasted the first semester. I dropped out." Rocky shrugged. "I guess I'm just meant to eat the food not make it."
"You're still a pretty good cook." Casey commented.
"It all worked out for you." Tommy shrugged. "You make an awesome sales rep."
"yeah yeah, I know. I'm good at my job." Rocky replied.
"That's an understatement." Adam huffed. "You're the best at your job Rocky. How many people make vice president on their branch in only four years?"
"I'm the first." Rocky once again was grinning. He worked for an insurance company that specialized in selling insurance to businesses. Rocky had quickly climbed the ladder earning his top floor office and the title vice president in just four years after graduating with a business degree.
"I don't think any of us are doing what we thought we would be doing." Kat said.
"Kat's right. Do you guys remember all the dreams we had in high school?" Tanya mused.
"Yeah, Tommy was going to be some hot shot racecar driver." Adam chuckled. "Kind of fizzled out after the first year."
"Hey now. I didn't fizzle out! I was still pretty hot. I just decided that I needed something to fall back on. Seeing my teammate after his crash… I just didn't want to end up like him. He had nothing left, no backup plan." Tommy explained. During his first year on the circuit Tommy's teammate was involved in a crash that left him unable to race again. Tommy then realized how easy it was for everything to slip away from you in that career. He enrolled in school after the ending of the season saying that he would return after he had a degree, but he never did.
"Why didn't you decide to go back to racing after you got your degree?" Adam asked.
"I was offered a spot on Anton Mercers team for a top secret dig. Well…"
"Ah yeah. Reefside." Adam replied knowing what Tommy was referring to.
"You know it's still hard to believe that you're a doctor." Rocky teased.
"I earned that title, thank you very much." Tommy said as he sat on the other side of Kat from Tanya. He wrapped his arms around her again.
"Yeah, and he never lets anyone forget it." Kat mumbled to which everyone laughed except for Tommy.
"So I never asked Tanya, but since we're on the subject…" Rocky started.
"Why aren't I living in Los Angeles sitting on some recording contracts?"
"Yeah."
"I wasn't as popular as I though I would be. I had few offers but none of them seemed like they were in favor of me. In the end I guess I realized that the recording industry wasn't for me. Plus it's not exactly family friendly. Having kids and being in that world just wouldn't mix well."
"Hey for what it's worth, you make an excellent DJ." Rocky commented.
"Thank Rocky."
"Yeah, I played your morning show for Kat everyday." Tommy said gesturing to the radio on the table. Casey joined the group having finally gotten Alexis back to sleep. She slipped into Rocky's arms pressing her back against his chest.
"Oh that's so sweet Tommy." Kat said with a tear in her eye. Tommy hugged her to him and kissed the top of her head. "You're just too wonderful."
"I'd do anything for you Angel Eyes. I mean that, anything."
"Aw. Tommy and Kat sitting in a tree…"
"You finish that and you'll regret it." Casey said as her hand drifted behind her back. Rocky's eyes grew wide, it didn't take a genius to realize what Casey had her hand on.
"I'll be a good boy now mommy." Rocky said in a childlike tone.
"Remember that." Casey grinned wildly as she released Rocky.
"Whipped." Tommy coughed.
"Oh your one to talk." Adam pointed out. "All Kat had to do was lick her lips and you came running with a glass of water."
"Can I help it if I know when my lady is thirsty?" Tommy replied seriously.
"Face it Tommy, Kat has you wrapped around her little finger." Adam replied. Kat just grinned knowing that Adam was right. Tommy did everything she ever asked of him. In fact he down right spoiled her.
"Yeah and now you have a little girl who's going to be competing with Mommy for that attention." Rocky laughed.
"Yeah well, how about you Adam. I mean, we all thought you would be doing stunts or something or even teaching martial arts." Tommy said taking the attention off himself.
"Yeah well, I guess I realized the same thing with stunts that you did with racing. It was too easy to get hurt and everything would change." Adam shrugged. "I left after three years."
"So when are you finally going to finish that medical degree?" Rocky asked. Adam had finished all his premed schooling and had even been accepted to a medical school, but instead he settled in Angel Grove with Tanya. Why he didn't go to school was a mystery to everyone including Tanya.
"You'd make an excellent doctor Adam." Casey said.
"Yeah well…"
"Adam and I have been talking about that." Tanya cut in for her stuttering husband standing from the bed and moving in front of him.
"I was planning on heading back next year in the fall, but now…"
"Adam, there is no 'but now'. We're going to continue on with our plans." Tanya said taking his hands in her own. "If you go to Los Angeles for school, we can come home more often than not."
"What about your house. Don't you guys own it?" Casey asked.
"Yeah, we're going to rent it out." Tanya said. "They have dorms for married couples or small families."
"But Tan, do you really want to raise the baby in those dorms or the house we bought for our family?"
"Wait wait wait! Baby?!" Kat said with wide eyes.
"Good going wonder boy." Tanya giggled. "Give away our surprise."
"You're pregnant?" Casey asked.
"Yup." Adam grinned.
"Congratulations!" Everyone shouted together.
"Thanks." Tanya replied with a grin. She then turned back to Adam. "We can talk more about this at home."
"Fine, sounds fair."
"Come on you guys, I'm dying to know how this turns out. You can't just stop a show in the middle of it and tell everyone 'The End'." Rocky pouted.
"Rocky." Casey said with a raised eyebrow.
"I got it. I'll shut up now." Rocky rolled his eyes.
"I think we've all changed so much since high school." Kat said as she leaned back against Tommy again. "Life isn't like we planned it."
"I think that we all thought we had the world at our fingertips. I mean come on if we could do everything that we did during high school we could easily handle real life right?" Tommy said. They all knew they had to be careful with what they said about being rangers. Rocky had yet to tell Casey and they didn't want to give it away before he had the chance to tell her himself.
"I thought the same thing." Rocky replied. "I kind of miss those days."
"Tommy never let go of those days." Adam teased.
"Ah yes. Dr Rainbow himself." Rocky laughed. To which Tommy stuck his out tongue out.
"I've so moved past those days."
"High school?" Casey asked. "I wouldn't ever go back to high school I'm quite happy right here and right now." Everyone saw Rocky suck in a deep breath.
"Hey Casey, you can keep a big secret right?"
"What kind of a question is that? Of course I can." Casey asked. She was confused as to why Rocky would ask her that.
Rocky let go of Casey and went to close the door. He turned back to Casey and saw his friends give a silent nod. It was about time to tell Casey their secret. She had a right to know exactly who she was marrying. "Casey, what we tell you can never be repeated to anyone."
"What are you talking about?" Casey said as she glanced around at all of her friends.
"It's about what we were back in high school." Rocky replied.
"What, were you some kind of cult or something?" Casey asked playfully trying to lighten the suddenly tense and quiet mood, but the others remained serious.
"We were sworn to protect the innocent…" Tommy started.
"To protect the earth from evil…" Adam added.
"Sworn to protect all that is good and right in the universe…" Tanya chimed in.
"We were sworn to secrecy. Our identities remain the most guarded secret in the universe." Kat finished looking to Rocky.
"We were the power rangers." Rocky finally said. Casey looked at all of them one by one with wide eyes.
"You guys?!" Casey said.
"Well, there are more of us than just us. But we were the zeo team." Rocky nodded gesturing to the four others in the room.
"Hey Rocky's right. I didn't notice that before. Right now it's just the zeo team in here." Adam laughed.
"So how many others are there?"
"There's the original five." Rocky replied. "Jason, Billy, Zack, Trini, and Kimberly."
"Then Tommy joined the team." Adam added.
"Yeah, go me." Tommy grinned.
"Don't forget that he left and came back with another power." Kat added.
"Green to white." Tommy nodded.
"So when do you come in?" Casey asked Rocky.
"I replaced Jason as the red ranger. Adam became the black, and Aisha became the yellow."
"Then we had a power change and became the ninja rangers." Tommy commented.
"I can tell there's a lot more huh?" Casey said finally settling back against the wall.
"Yeah, we went through a lot." Rocky said as he leaned against the wall next to her.
"So what happened after the power change? I mean Kat and Tanya weren't around at that point yet."
"Kat came next. She replaced Kimberly as the pink ranger." Tommy said as he hugged Kat a little tighter. He knew it still bothered her how she came to receive the power coin. She still had yet to forgive herself for everything she had done to Kimberly.
"Tan joined us as the yellow ranger when we changed powers to zeo." Adam said giving his wife a squeeze on the shoulder.
"We also had a few color changes." Rocky said. "I went from red to blue."
"Black to green." Adam said.
"I went from white to red." Tommy added.
"Jason came back later on as the gold ranger." Kat said.
"Wow! Unbelievable!" Casey said still with wide eyes.
"Not done yet babe." Rocky smiled. Casey's jaw dropped.
"There's still more?"
"Well we're not the rangers anymore, so yeah there's more." Rocky laughed.
"We had yet another shift in powers." Adam said. The others laughed at his choice of words. "What?"
"Shift." Tanya replied.
"Oh, I didn't realize I said that." Adam laughed as well.
"I don't get it." Casey said.
"That was our morhing call." Tommy explained. "Shift into turbo."
"Oh." Casey nodded. "So you were the turbo rangers too."
"Not me." Rocky shook his head. "I hurt by back and passed the powers along to Justin." Casey paused as if she were thinking about that comment.
"That little kid from your photo album?" Casey finally asked.
"Yeah." Rocky nodded.
"He was a ranger?"
"I know it's weird to think that a little kid was a hero of the world, but he was." Rocky said.
"I've seen pictures of the turbo team, there was no little kid…"
"The powers made him grow." Adam shrugged. Casey looked as if she were about to ask another question. "Don't ask how, even we don't know how. It's one of those things that will never be fully explained."
"Fair enough." Casey shrugged. "Then what happened?"
"We all passed on our powers after graduating." Tommy replied. "We chose new people to take our places and we all tried to move on into the real world."
"Yeah except for you Mr. Technicolor." Kat teased.
"You know I never did tell you guys about that but you all know about it anyway. I was going to let it go, but now I have to know. How do all of you know about it?"
"You lived in Reefside and suddenly a new team pops up." Tanya explained.
"We knew that it wasn't a coincidence. Especially when we saw the black ranger on the television." Rocky added.
"Your moves are unique to say the least." Adam finished. Tommy just shrugged.
"At least you didn't deny it." Kat smiled.
"How could I? You guys all just assumed it was me and I couldn't lie. Especially to you." Tommy said before placing yet another kiss on Kat's cheek.
Suddenly there was a knocking from the door. "We'll finish this discussion later Casey." Rocky said before walking over to the door. "Feel free to ask any of us questions when you want. I'm sure you have lots."
"Lots of questions about what?" Billy asked as Rocky opened the door. Billy and Trini walked in.
"We told Casey about our past." Rocky replied as he closed the door once again.
"Well, it's about time." Trini smiled. "Billy and I were wondering when you would finally reveal that to her."
"Hey Kat. Good have you back." Billy said giving Katherine a hug.
"Thanks Billy." Kat replied using all her strength to wrap her arms around Billy to return the hug. "I can't wait to get out of here though."
"I can imagine that Kat. But you do need time to heal." Trini said taking her turn to hug Katherine.
"So you guys were the first rangers?" Casey asked barely keeping her excitement in check.
"Yeah. I was the yellow and Billy was the blue."
"So true." Billy grinned at own corny rhyme.
"Dude that was so lame." Rocky shook his head.
"Forgive him. He left his sense of humor back in the lab." Trini replied as she hugged her fiancé.
Alexis suddenly let out a wail. Before Tommy even had the chance to get up Adam was rushing across the room. "I got her. Besides I need the practice and you need the rest."
"I'm assuming that you and Adam are expecting." Trini smiled at Tanya, who just nodded. "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Tanya replied as she watched Adam cuddle the baby girl to him as he moved to the changing table. "He's going to be a good father."
"Hey do you guys remember Joey?" Rocky asked suddenly as the thought entered his mind.
"Oh yeah, that's right." Adam laughed from his spot across the room. "So how goes parenthood this time, Tommy?"
Katherine laughed at the look on Tommy's face as if he trying to remember exactly what they were all talking about. "Remember our assignment?" Kat asked. "Marriage? Anything ringing a bell?"
"Oh yeah. You brought that baby into our report. We had no sleep for that whole weekend." Tommy laughed remembering their adventures with Joey. "I was so shocked when you walked in with a baby."
"Yeah the look on your face was priceless." Rocky replied. "And we teased you mercilessly about Kat."
"What about me?" Kat asked having never heard the story before.
"They sang the bridal march to me as I walked in." Tommy rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, it was so easy to rile you up too." Adam laughed. He walked over to the group still holding the baby girl. She cooed and gurgled at him as he gently bounced her in his arms. "I promise I'll get you guys something this time around Tommy."
"I still think that you guys make a lovely couple." Tanya smiled wildly.
"You guys had a lot of fun together didn't you?" Casey asked with a smile.
"We sure did."
"Well, parenthood is very different with my own kids than it was with Joey." Tommy finally said.
"Yeah you complained that all you did was feed and change him." Rocky laughed. "I don't see much difference with Lex and AJ."
"Lex and AJ?" Tommy raised an eyebrow. "Tell me you did not make up nicknames for my children already."
"At least he's not calling them 'the twins'." Casey pointed out.
"Well the way I see it, they're short little people therefore they deserve short little names." Rocky explained with a serious tone, but that only caused everyone to laugh.
"Rocky." The all groaned together.
"Hey now, what did Rocky do this time?" Jason asked as he and Kimberly walked into the room.
"Just Rocky being Rocky." Adam laughed.
"He gave the babies nicknames already." Billy said.
"Oh no." Jason groaned. "What horrible things have you come up with this time." Rocky had given his and Kimberly's son a nickname shortly after he was born. The now three year old Jonathan Michel Scott, was called Jams by everyone despite the protests from Kimberly, but even she now called him Jams.
"AJ and Lex." Rocky grinned.
"Those actually aren't that bad." Kimberly shrugged. "Could be worse."
"Thanks for the backup." Tommy mumbled. "You're supposed to discourage him from nicknaming everyone's children."
"Hey, you didn't stop 'Jams'." Jason pointed his finger at Tommy.
"You know I've always wondered, how did you come up with Jams anyway Rocky." Trini pondered aloud.
"Well, his initials are JMS so Jams was the closest thing I could come up with." Rocky shrugged. His logic escaped everyone.
"Only you Rocky, only you." Kat laughed.
"Hey now, everyone else started calling him Jams too." Rocky protested.
"Yeah, despite my requests to not call him that. Jams just kind of stuck."
"You nickname my child and I'll kick your ass to Timbuktu." Tanya threatened.
"I get the point." Rocky held his hands up in protest.
"You know, I think I'll pick out the nicknames for our kids." Casey said. Rocky raised an eyebrow.
"Now I can't even name my own kids. Geesh, you guys are no fun."
"Well, I suppose we should get going." Adam finally cut in. "It's nearly dinner time."
"We'll see you tomorrow Kat." Tanya said hugging her friend. Adam walked over to her still holding the cooing baby girl. He gently laid the baby in Kat's weakened grip and hugged her.
"Get some rest, and get better. We want you home for Christmas."
"We'll take that as our exit as well." Casey said dragging Rocky with her to the bed. Casey gave her a hug and Rocky placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Good to have you back ballerina." Rocky said against her ear. He pulled away from her. "Don't you ever scare us this bad again missy." He playfully shook his finger at her.
"I don't plan on it." Kat laughed. She watched as her four friends left the room. She was sure that Casey and Rocky would be having a long discussion about his past and that Adam and Tanya would finish their discussion about Adam's return to school.
"I guess that means we'll take off too. Sorry we didn't come sooner, we were in the middle of finalizing our report for the chief." Trini and Billy both worked for NASADA as researchers. The two of them had created three new pieces of equipment for use in space. They were considered the best in their field.
"We'll see you guys later then." Billy said as he hugged Kat and gently stroked Alexis' cheek. "She's as pretty as her momma."
"Thank you." Kat smiled.
"Bye Kat, Bye Tommy." Trini said after giving both of them a hug. The two geniuses disappeared from the room leaving Tommy and Kat alone with Jason and Kimberly.
"I didn't want to ask in front of everyone, but do you know what's going to happen to Nikki?" Tommy finally asked after a few moments of silence had fallen on the group. Kat shot him a look that clearly said 'Don't even go there'.
"That's something that I wanted to talk to you guys about." Jason replied after he sucked in a sharp breath. "There's big debate going on in the prosecutors office about how to approach it. Everything was held up pending how Kat's condition turned out."
"So what did you want to talk to us about?" Kat asked realizing she could not escape this conversation. Oh boy, this is going to be one hell of a conversation.
