"How is she?" It was early in the morning for the Zeo Rangers and Jason and Trini as they sat at the juice bar. Jason who was now effectively in leader mode had called them all to the youth center to discuss plans for Kim's complete removal from Florida. Jason sighed deeply and then looked them all square in the eye as he answered Adam's question. "Not too well, I haven't called Tommy yet this morning but I did call him last night. He's at his uncle's cabin…that's where he's took her. She was sleeping when I called...but Tommy said she had a really bad nightmare...it was so bad she had a panic attack right afterwards." All the rangers looked at him with worried stares. "What happened? Rocky asked. "I've never heard of Kim having panic attacks before." It was true. Their pink ranger was always so courageous…never afraid of anything. The thought of her in such a way spoke volumes about what hell she was going though. Jason sighed. "Apparently in the dream...he was hurting her again...she screamed for Tommy...and she saw Tommy lying in a pool of blood." here Jason shuddered. "Tommy said she tried to scrub her skin off in the shower...then when he tried to stop her she freaked out." Jason paused here to see them all listening with rapt attention. With a look at Trini he continued. "It took a long time to get her calm enough to eat...and then it was a battle to get her to sleep again. He did eventually get her to sleep...but he says that she needs some clothing and some real food. Kim's in a bad state...its gonna be a long road to get back the Kim we all love." All was quiet for a second… "I'll kill him." said Rocky in a low growl. Jason looked at his seething successor and smiled faintly at him. "We all want to. But right now we need to focus on Kim...Tommy's watching her carefully right now. And we'll need to help him help her." then he looked at Rocky again. Any word on Aisha? Jason noticed a tiny smile dance on Rocky's face as he heard her name. "No could we teleport there maybe?" Jason looked back at the table lowering his voice. "It's up to Zordon. We have to ask his permission." Jason looked up at them all again. But the more pressing issue is that I know Kim took some ranger stuff with her to Florida, her old morpher, her pictures...we can't allow this guy to discover her whereabouts …or her past." Then we need to get them." Adam said taking on a business like look. "Exactly. Zordon has agreed to let a couple of us non rangers to teleport to Florida to gather her stuff...that will probably be me and Billy...I'd take some of you with me...but my experience tells me that Mondo will wait till we're gone to launch his next attack." Adam nodded. "True." "I'm sure her coach is worried about her too." Jason continued. "So while we're in Florida, we'll get a hold of coach Schmitt and tell him that Kim isn't going to be on the team anymore." Adam nodded. "Agreed." "To keep Kim safe, we'll give a false address...it will be in Angel Grove...It'll be somewhere like an address to a factory or something like that. For a forwarding address we'll get a PO Box in my name. We must do everything we can to keep her safe. That bastard will not get anywhere near Kimberly. I'll see to it." Trini gave him a small smile. She loved Jason when he got that glint of determination in his eyes. Jason looked at the rangers gathered around him again. "Trini and I are gonna head out to get Kim and Tommy whatever they need." here he focused on Adam and Rocky. "While I'm gone I want you two to find a good false address to give out. Make it somewhere away from civilians…we don't want any other civilians to get hurt. Rocky nodded again. "We'll take care of that." "While Billy and I are gone, Trini will be here to take care of Kim should Mondo strike again. "Hopefully by then Aisha will be here to help out. We don't want there to be any way for Mondo to take her prisoner…or use her against is." Adam nodded again. "We'll need all of us Ninjetti here…I'm sure Zordon will agree to it." Everyone was quiet for a moment as his words sank in. "Isn't there anything we can do for Kim?" Tanya asked. Jason smiled at her. Tanya had never met Kim before…and yet she was just as determined to help the original ranger as the rest of them. "Until Kim reaches out for us...we'll keep our distance...this sort of thing can not be rushed...for now, do your jobs. Kim's a fighter. I know she can pull through." It wasn't even a question to the former ranger. He'd known her forever…and he knew she could do it.
She was back in the ancient ruins of the Ninjetti temple again. But this time, she wasn't naked…and she wasn't bruised either. Now she was covered in a white and silver cloak…it was clasped at her throat with a silver clasp…the fastener was made up of both of their symbols combined. And underneath it was a soft pink cotton dress. Kim didn't miss the symbolism here. For the moment…Tommy was her covering. He was keeping her safe.
She looked all around her…off to the east the morning sun was breaking through the clouds…it was so beautiful…and not unlike the morning that they had set off into not too long ago…when they were just teenagers going off in search of the monolith that held their powers. "It is beautiful, is it not Kimberly?" asked Dulcea who was standing behind her. "It's beautiful." Kim said turning to face her. Dulcea smiled softly. "The dream world is a realm that is full of symbolism. It can be beautiful like all that you see around you…or it can be turned to the most hideous of evil places. It can either be peaceful…or it can be violent, pleasant…or torturous. It depends on the dreamer." The master warrior paused from her speech as she saw recognition in the young Ninjetti's eyes. She gently lifted the younger girl's chin. "You know what I am talking about." Kim shivered as the skies around her turned dark. Dulcea closed her eyes forcing her calmness to spread turning the dream world back into a bright place again as she continued. "All that happened in that dream was a result of your fear overtaking you…your fear of this hunter in your world…it is overtaking you. And that is why he rules your dreams. But he is only a human…a evil vial human…but in truth he is just as vulnerable as you are…but the difference is that you, the Crane, holds more power then he can wield, both here and in the real world." Dulcea put a firm but comforting hand on her shoulder. "The spirit of the crane resides within you…and it is strong. Work hard to overcome your fear, and there is no way he can get to you." Kim nodded as the master warrior smiled at her softly and then glanced at her stomach. "There is much for you to over come agile one. You are past the first hurdle…thanks to the falcon…but a time will come when you, with the help and support of your friends, will be able to face the hunter that comes against you And take back all that is rightfully yours. But not just yet…there is an unexpected challenge coming your way." here the master warrior glanced at her stomach again and smiled. But Kim was still confused. "What challenge is that?" But Dulcea only smiled. "You will know soon enough." And then the dream ended and Kimberly woke up.Kim slowly opened her eyes and tried to stretch…but found she couldn't move.
Tommy felt her squirm in his arms and woke up instantly. "Kim? Kim smiled at him. "Yes. I'm awake." Tommy gently kissed her lips. "How did you sleep?" "It was okay...I didn't have any nightmares…but Dulcea came to me in a dream again." "She did?" "Yes. I was back on Phaedos...in that old ruin." Tommy held her closer as she continued. "Dulcea told me that I was over the first obstacle...that there will be more...it was so weird...she kept on hinting at something...a challenge that is coming my way. She said I needed to work hard so that I could face him…that I needed to regain my courage...that I was gonna be facing a challenge." she looked at Tommy in confusion. "But i have no idea what challenge she's talking about Tommy looked thoughtful. "Hmmm. I don't know i guess we will see when it gets here." Kim nodded. "A part of me is scared to know what it is." Tommy smiled and gently lifted her into his lap. "We won't know until it happens…but no matter what…I'm gonna be here for you and we'll face it together." Kim leaned into the warmth of her arms…but suddenly felt sick…like she was gonna vomit any second. Instantly she panicked. "Tommy…let go of me...I'm..." "Kim?" asked Tommy as he let go and watched her jump up and rush to the bathroom…he cringed when her heard her retching. Immediately he was on his feet and running to the bathroom. Kim heard him….but couldn't look up as she heaved again. Tommy held his breath wanting to throw up too…but he held himself in check and instead knelt down beside her holding her hair back as she heaved again. This went on for several minutes until, she stopped and sat back gasping for air. "Kim?" "Yeah...ugh…" Tommy held her close to him as she took the wet rag he offered her and wiped her mouth. Several things were going through her mind as she tried to figure out what was wrong with her…and then she paled. Tommy noticed and was instantly concerned. "Kimberly, what's wrong?" Kim was quiet as she got to her feet and lifted up the front of her shirt…rubbing her stomach…and noticed a bump. "Beautiful? Tommy asked in a worried voice. Kim didn't hear him and walked back into the bedroom and started pacing. His heart was pounding in his chest as he followed slowly and her wrapped his arm around his Crane. "Talk to me beautiful." he said in an concerned but quiet voice. But Kim barley noticed him although she had stopped pacing. Instead…she started talking softly to herself. "Dulcea...she kept staring at me...at my stomach...oh god...she was doing that again in the dream." Kim was beginning to hyperventilate. Tommy turned her around gently. "Kim what is it?" She still didn't respond. Now she was counting softly on her fingers. "…Getting sick for no reason, tenderness, peeing a lot, restlessness, um…" She looked at Tommy sharply. Tommy swallowed. "Kim?" "…moodiness.…" kim kept counting on her fingers again and then froze. "Oh God no." The red Zeo ranger gently cupped her face…making her look at him. "What is it Kim?" "I'm...I'm...preg..nant…" and with that she fainted. But Tommy was used to it by now and was ready. In an instant he scooped her up and lay her on the bed before crossing his and pulling her into his lap again. "Kim? Wake up beautiful." Kim was quiet and then moaned softly. "No...no...no...it can't be." "What is it?" Kim opened her eyes slowly. "Tommy...this...this can't be...Tommy, Oh God...how could I be so stupid...the signs have all been there…and I was so busy training for the Pan Global games that I didn't notice…she said I would be facing a challenge...that guy...but that's impossible.." Tommy gently placed a finger on her lips. "Kim, calm down… you're scaring me...what's wrong" He watched her take several deep breaths…but still didn't say anything. "Kim, I'm calling Jason." Her head snapped up…and she looks at him. "No...don't call him...Tommy...oh god...don't be mad at me." "Then talk to me…Please I could never be angry with you…I love you too much. But please…tell me what's wrong. He rubbed her back gently as she took breath after shaky breath. "Tommy...I'm...p…pregnant." "Pregnant?" Tommy asked in a shocked voice. "Yes." Tommy was very quiet as Kim bit her lip and looked down into her lap. "I...it doesn't make since...if it was that guy I wouldn't be showing the signs yet...but he wasn't my first... Tommy felt his heart stop. When he spoke again it was a quiet voice. "I was..…" Kim started crying softly. But Tommy stared at Kim and smiled. "Oh god...how could I miss that...it was all there...I was so busy...I didn't notice it.…" Tommy noticed it and realized she wasn't paying attention to him and decided she needed to vent…so he let her continue. And when all the tears were gone she spoke in a soft voice that was interrupted by hiccups. "But then...it means...oh god...what if it's hurt...what if I let him hurt it...oh god...how could I be so careless?" He started to rocked her as she clung to him. "Beautiful…listen to me ok?" Kim looked up at him. "Its okay…I'm sure it's fine." "I need a test…" "That's easily solved. Jase and Trini are bringing us some food and clothing. I can just call them on her cell phone and ask them to pick up a test too, Jase doesn't even have to know." Kim quirked a smile at those words…when Jase found out he'd snap into big brother mode and do Tommy some serious harm. Tommy noticed the smile and he kissed her softly. "That's better Beautiful…we've faced tougher situations then this." Kim smiled and let him hold her closer as he picked up his cell phone from the table and dialed the number.Trini was walking down the isle where the feminine products were kept. She was a little surprised when he didn't try to make up excuses for getting out of there…but he did look up when the phone rang.
"Hello?" "Hey Trini it's me, Tommy. Don't say anything to let Jase know I'm calling." Trini noticed the seriousness of his voice and looked over at jase who was studying a box of tampons. "Um...hi...he's fine...he's...learning about tampons…" Her voice trailed off as Tommy chuckled. Then his voice got sober again. "That's funny and creepy, But this is a serious call." Trini kept her voice casual. "Yeah, he's crazy isn't he?" "I need you to get a pregnancy test" Trini's face faltered and it was a small struggle to keep her voice casual. "Oh yeah, Jason's been talking about getting in touch with his feminine side...its kind of scary." She looked at Jason as he walked up to her putting his arms around her. "Talking about me again? Trini smiled at him. "Yeah, Billy said he always wondered if you were gay or not...what should I tell him?" Tommy heard this and fought to bite back the laughter. "Seriously though, we think Kim may be pregnant." Trini fought the shock on her face as Jason leaned in to whisper in her ear. "If I was gay would I be aroused right now?" Trini couldn't fight the blush as the blood rushed to her face and her voice faltered. "Jason says he's not gay... he thinks I'm...hot" Tommy chuckled as Trini fought to sound casual. "Yeah, he's crazy I know." "But I guess we'll see you guys later." Trini smiled. "Yeah...see you guys soon! Bye!" She turned to face Jason. So, it's taken you this long to tell me? Jason's answer was a soft kiss to her lips."Back at the cabin Tommy hung up the phone and busted out laughing which startled Kim a little though she had heard the entire conversation.
But Kim was still too shocked to say anything…at the moment she lay in Tommy's arms. "Oh god why didn't we bring protection with us?" Tommy was quick to sober up and he was quiet for a moment. "You don't want to be a mom?" Kim's voice was soft. "I don't know Tommy. I wasn't expecting this...its a lot to take in...what do you think about it?" Tommy couldn't help but smile and kim noticed it and she looked on in confusion. "You want to be a dad?" Tommy shrugged still smiling. "You've always been in my plan for the future, I wanted to marry you eventually, and have a family with you. I just hadn't planned on it happening so soon. I thought it wouldn't happen while I was still a ranger. and not while King Mondo and his machine empire threatens us." The mention of the evil monarch raised another fear in the former pink ranger. "Tommy, what if this makes me a liability...King Mondo would see me as a weakness...a way to get to you." The red zeo ranger was quiet…she did have a point. "Tommy, Zedd, Rita, and even Goldar were after you...and if they were out to captured me…it was to get to you." He sighed. It did seem like every evil villain that came to threaten the earth was out to kick his ass. "Hmmm that is a problem." Tommy said softly kissing her lips again. "Jason, and Trini are around and Zack will be soon enough…and we still have almost all the Ninjetti here…on top of the rest of us who are still rangers. We won't let anything happen to you… But outside of ranger business…do you want to be a mom? Kim sighed. "I guess so...I don't know anything about being a mom...but they're yours...I won't take something like this away from you." Tommy kissed her softly. "Thank you Kim. You'll make a great mom." Kimberly kissed him back. "Anything to make you happy." Tommy smiled "I'm gonna be a dad." Kim's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. "Tommy, I hope you realize what all this means right? Appointments, my getting fatter, mood swings…do you really think you're up to all this...with all the ranger stuff to top it off?" Tommy kissed her softly again. "For you…yes." Kimberly sighed and as he held her closer and continued to kiss her softly as he held her under the blankets. Knock. Knock. Knock. Tommy groaned and rested his forehead against Kimberly's. "Worst timing ever." Kim muttered as Tommy got up and walked to the door. Kim groaned again as she turned over pulling the blankets over her head again. Tommy took a deep breathe and opened the door to see two expectant faces looking at him. "Hey trini…Jase." "Hey bro...how is she?" Trini smiled up at him. "Yeah, where's my best friend?" Tommy pointed to the bedroom. "She's in there Trini." he said giving her a grateful look. "Me and Jase will talk in here." Trini nodded and walked into the room. She paused in the door way and then walked slowly toward the bed. "It's me Kim…Trini…can I come in?" Kim stirred and then sat up and was immediately embraced by her best friend."Where are we going?" Jason asked as Tommy walked to the door.
"Outside. I want to give the girls some privacy…" Jason followed him out. "How is Kim this morning?" Tommy sighed. She was sick but she's better now." Jason looked at him questioningly. looks at him. "But how is she sick if you guys healed her?" Tommy shrugged. "She threw up. That's all." "But from what? "What did she eat last night?." "Just a TV dinner." "You think it was food poisoning?" "No Jase it was a sealed tray." Jason nodded happy that it was nothing major…and then his voice turned serious. "I had a meeting with the other rangers this morning and we've got it all worked out on how we're going to handle everything in Florida." Tommy looked at him. "Tell me." Kim's black box' is still at her apartment. "If this...guy decides to go after her, he may find out where she lives...and if he finds that box...there goes her secrets...all of ours. so, I'm taking Billy with me and we're going to go get the box from the house and then we're going to go visit her coach to tell him Kim won't be coming back." Tommy nodded and let Jason continue. "To keep her safe, if her coach asks where she is, we give him a false address. and we'll leave a forwarding address to a PO box...that will be listed under an alias. "I don't ever what this guy to get near Kim. i have Adam and rocky taking care of the false address, in case Demetrius tries to find her...it will lead him to an old ware house...a place far away from innocent civilians "Good." "And we're trying to find a way to get Aisha to come back from Africa...As soon as we can get a hold of her we can bring her here to help watch over Kim when you get called into battle.. "Could we teleport her?" "Yeah, but with Zordon's permission only...remember his rules about teleporting for personal reasons?" "This isn't exactly personal. Kim's in danger" Jason was about to answer but was cut off by Tommy's communicator. Tommy pressed a button. "This is Tommy come in." "Tommy, this is rocky…I'm letting you know that I asked Zordon myself and he's agreed to allow me to teleport to Africa. We have her location." "Good. Be careful. And come back alive." "I always do. I'll contact you when we get back. Rocky out." Just then, Trini came back out and smiled softly at Tommy. Kim wants to talk to you." Jason looked at Trini. "How is she Trini?" "She's fine. Not a thing wrong with her." Jason looked at her again but was interrupted by Tommy. "I'll be right back Jase." "Ok bro." Tommy walked back into the house and into the bathroom where kim was sitting on the tub looking at him. He walked in smiling at her. "Kim?" Kim looked over to the test and then looked back down at her feet. Tommy gulped as his heart beat faster….he looked over on the sink and picked the test up. It was positive. Tommy kelt in front of his crane. "Its going to be okay. We can do this." Kim looked at him. "Your going to be a dad." Tommy kissed her softly. "You're a mom." "I made Trini promise not to tell Jason...I don't think he'll be too happy about this." Tommy smiled reassuringly. "I think we should tell him. I saw the bump earlier….I don't think we have a choice. If we don't tell him now he'll figure it out later…and then he really will kill me." Kim smiled up and kissed him softly. "Maybe I should tell him…he won't kill me…." Tommy took her hands in his. "I don't care….I'm going to be a dad…and I'll take my chances." Kim chuckled and took the hand Tommy offered and followed him out to the porch. When they got to the front door they were surprised to see their two friends making out…Kim leaned into Tommy's arms giving them some more time. Several minutes passed this way…until Kim had seen enough…and cleared her throat. Trini was the first to move and she blushed embarrassed away from Jason's arms. "How long were you standing there?" he demanded with kiss swollen lips. Tommy smirked at him. "Long enough….I'm glad you finally got your head out of your butt and asked her out…I was wondering how long it would take you." Jason rolled his eyes and then saw Kim. "And how are you feeling?" Kim bit her lip and then looked up at tommy. Jason noticed it. "Ok you two spill it." "She's pregnant." Jason hadn't been expecting this…and he didn't move for several seconds. And then he leveled his gaze on Tommy. "By…you?" Tommy locked eyes with him. "Yes…me." Kim looked at Jason pleadingly. "Please don't kill him Jason...I love him." Jason closed his eyes and took several deep breathes visibly calming himself…and then he looked Tommy in the eye. "I am really pissed about this...and its taking everything to not kill you where you stand." Tommy didn't even flinch. "I under stand bro but I love her and I'll take care of her." "I know you will…but I will say this. I better see a ring on that finger...and your ass had better be at every appointment she has or I will make Lord Zedd look like a Care Bear." "I love her Jason…I'm not going to abandon her…I love her more then my own life." Kim looked at Jason worriedly. Jason saw her and immediately relaxed his stance. "Its okay Kim...I'm not angry any more...I love you like a sister...and I know Tommy will take care of you." Then he slowly held his arms out to Kim offering her a hug…which Kim walked into hugging him close." Jason held her tenderly and smiled over her head at his comrade. Tommy smiled back.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
