Tommy covered Kimberly's eyes as he walked her upstairs. It was February now. Kimberly was very, very happy. Tommy had brought her and the girls home finally. The girls were right behind them. Tommy knew he would have to help out to hurry the process up. So after working on his students papers, he did overtime, late nights getting the nursery blue for the boy and the fourth bedroom upstairs. With Trisha being so mad with constant whining about not getting her own room like the old house in the beginning, Kimberly and Tommy agreed reluctantly. Tommy caved in and gave the room to her, much to Kim's dislike.
"Okay, on the count of 3. 1-2-" Kim pulled her hands down and smiled. They were in the nursery.
"Wow, pretty!" Madison said.
"So much blue!" Trisha said.
"Your room is ready so go see," Tommy said to Trisha. Trisha ran down the hall "Well, do you like it?" Unlike the nurseries before, since they always knew it was going to be a little girl, Tommy and Kimberly had pink and purple walls. Now, with a boy, the room was white walls, with blue and white decorations. Sea items like starfish, boats, ducks, birds all around the room. Stars and moons decorations, along with a brand new baby crib, that is now wooden, not white. And a teddy bear handing from the blue and white sail. Kimberly laughed as she picked up a toy from the stackers.
"You did all of this?" Tommy nodded. Kimberly went to him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you." Kim touched the music mobile. Tommy kissed her head.
"Of course, my son only gets the best." Kim held his face as tears rolled down her face. "Now, come on, Beautiful. No crying yet." They hugged.
Trisha's room was done over the way she wanted it. Though it was small, only enough room for her bed, dresser, side table and desk. But it was a huge change from the nearly second master bedroom she shared with twins.
"It's small!" Kimberly walked into the room. Kim smiled and nodded patting her head.
"I told you princess, it wouldn't be big."
"I don't want it!" Trisha said as she got off her bed.
"Trisha Rose Oliver, you begged and begged for this room! You cried for hours, now you don't want it? Tough, it's yours now."
"I don't want it!"
"Come Maddy, come Mackenzie," Kim said. Kimberly simply walked out carrying Sydney. The twins followed her to see their room.
"Daddy, I want my old room."
"Princess, I'm sorry, but Sydney, Maddy and Mackenzie have that room now. This is your room. Daddy brought you, your own tv." Tommy handed over the pink remote. Trisha took it and pressed the button. Tommy sat her to the bed and sat beside her.
"But I don't want it, I don't want to be alone."
"But you are a big girl now. Please, for Daddy. Mommy will be so upset if you don't. We don't want Mommy sad right?" Trisha nodded.
"What about the monsters?"
"What monsters? Oh, baby, there aren't any monster in your room."
"Can I sleep with you tonight, Daddy?"
"You don't want to try your new room tonight?" Trisha shook her head. "What if Daddy stays with you?" Trisha shrugged. "Daddy will stay until you fall asleep, okay, princess." Trisha nodded. Tommy kissed her head. "Come on." Trisha jumped into his arms. Tommy carried her into the old room. Sydney had to have her Minnie Mouse decorations go with the twins' theme of fairies and flowers. But somehow Tommy got it to work.
Since it was Friday, Tommy decided to barbecue for the family.
Tommy was plating some hotdogs when Kimberly grabbed the chair for support. He quickly grabbed her by the waist. Kira was watching the twins on their swing set with Trent. Ethan was having fun playing a video game against Trisha. Hayley took over Kim's job, when she was told her she didn't feel good. Hayley made her go sit down.
