(Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers! If I did, Kim never would have left and I wouldnt have to write fanfiction cause it would've already happened in the show. Notes: This is Alternate Universe! It only partially follows cannon. And for the sake of this story, Dino Thunder occurred in 2008...not 2003. I love the characters that were in that season so I'm going to use them with a little bit of time changing.)

Summary: Something happened when Tommy was the evil green ranger that Kim never told anyone. Being so tiny, she was able to hide her pregnancy from everyone and went to stay with her mother when it was time to deliver. Now, 15 years later, Tommy is still with Kim, and teaching high school science in Reefside. While Tommy deals with his Power Ranger duties, Kim suffers in silence as she watches the son she gave up for adoption follow in his fathers footsteps.

1993-

Kim laid in her hospital bed holding her newborn son close to her. Tears fell down her face as she realized she would never be able to keep him. She was still in high school, not to mention a power ranger.

Unfortunately, that's what landed her in this predicament.

After they had found out the identity of the green ranger, she pushed his buttons about knowing his identity in the juice bar. Before she could blink, the facade of still being her Tommy disappeared. He lead her out of the youth center and out to the hallway so he could teleport her without anyone seeing them.

"Tommy," she called the green ranger once they had teleported. The green ranger was glaring at her with his eyes glowing with evil. This was definitely not the Tommy she had met a few weeks ago.

"Think you're in trouble now Pink Ranger?" he asked her as he backed her into a corner. "You don't know the half of it."

"Tommy don't! You know me! The Tommy I love wouldn't do this!"

He just laughed evily.

Kim shook her head, pushing the memory out of her thoughts. The little boy in front of her was the only thing that mattered anymore. Giving him a good life away from Rita and Zedd was Kim's number one goal. Also away from Tommy. If Tommy ever found out what he had done to her when he was under Rita's control, he would never forgive himself.

There was a knock at her hospital door. She looked up and saw her social worker walk in with her son's adoptive parents. She had met Mr. and Mrs. Fernandez a few weeks ago and were happy that such a loving couple was going to be adopting her and Tom- green ranger's son.

"Hey Kim," Mrs. Fernandez whispered when she saw the infant's eyes closed. Kim smiled at her, but didn't say anything. Trying to keep in her tears, she attempted to put on a brave face.

Mrs. Fernandez smiled sadly back, understanding this must be difficult for the young woman. She had been told by the social worker not to bring up the father around Kim, so she could only make assumptions about why Kim didn't have the father with her in the delivery room.

Kim didn't say anything to the woman, just kissed the infant in her arms and gently handed him over to his new mother. Mrs. Fernandez smiled at the young child and spoke to Kim like one would a frightened animal.

"We'll send you pictures Kim, just like we promised."

Kim nodded, but didn't look at her. The little boy. He was beautiful. He looked so much like Tommy it hurt Kim to give him up. Knowing she would receive pictures of him until he turned eighteen helped, but it was still very emotional for her.

Her social worker put her hand on Mrs. Fernandez's shoulder and gestured to the door. It was obvious to all of them that she needed some time to herself. The new family left the young woman alone in her hotel room.

A lone tear went down Kim's cheek before she got out of bed and put her clothes back on, ready to teleport to the command center. She couldn't let anyone know what happened.

Especially Tommy.

~Time Skip- 2008

Kim wiped her face with a towel after a long workout. After she returned to the command center after her son was born 18 years ago, her and Tommy officially got together and got married after they both graduated.

Once Kim competed at the Pan Global Games and Tommy went off to college, Kim decided that she would stay in Angel Grove and help the new rangers and make some money teaching gymnastics at the youth center.

Once Tommy was finished with his doctorate, and had a fatal encounter with a certain island while he worked alongside Dr Anton Mercer for his dissertation, Kim and he both decided that they needed a fresh start. So Tommy took up a teaching job at the city high school in Reefside, and Kim had gotten her certification to open her own gymnastics gym in the same city.

Kim was at home unpacking the last box her and Tommy had left when her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Beautiful."

"Hey babe! You on your way home?"

"Uh, not exactly. I got stuck with detention duty."

"What? But I thought we were going to check out that museum on the other side of town today! Did this boss of yours ever hear of giving people prior notice?"

"I guess not. I'm going to take the kids to the museum so I can get some stuff done anyway. Do you want to meet us there?"

"Uh, no. You're suppose to intimidate your students Tommy, not show them on the first day what a softy you are around your wife."

"Yeah, good point. Are you gonna head to the gym then?"

"Nah, I think I'll stay here and finish unpacking."

"You're not done yet?"

"I have one box left, so it shouldn't take long. After that I'll probably just go down and work on the lab."

"Okay beautiful. I'll make sure I'm home in time for dinner."

"In other words, make it about an hour later than normal and you should be here before it gets cold."

"Haha Very funny. I haven't been that late in years."

"Yeah, except last week."

"It was daylight savings time! That doesn't count!"

"Keep telling yourself that handsome. I'll see you tonight."

"Alright. Love you beautiful."

"Love you too. Bye."

Once she hung up with Tommy, Kim turned to the last box she had to unpack and headed to her office. After placing it on the desk, she unpacked each item and put it in its proper place, but paused when she got to the last item.

It was a small pink and white box that she had never shown Tommy, and he seemed to not notice it when he was in her office. And inside held her secret.

Inside were twenty seven pictures. One from each of her son's birthdays, and Christmas'. It made her sad that she stopped receiving them two years ago. She didn't know why, but had tried for two years to get in touch with them again, to no avail.

She took the last picture she received from them. Christmas of the year her son turned 12. According to the note Mrs. Fernandez sent her along with the photo. This was the year her son had deemed himself too old to sit on Santa's lap. So her photo was of him smiling at the camera at a Christmas party with a new video game he had been wanting in his hands. That smile was so bright it reminded her so much of Tommy.

Sometimes she wished she had the courage to tell Tommy about their son, but there never seemed to be a good time. She knew he would feel guilty about how their son was conceived, even though it wasn't his fault. She had kept it a secret for fifteen years, she could keep it for another three. That was when Mr and Mrs Fernandez promised to tell him about his biological parents. There was no reason to tell Tommy about something he did when he was evil unless there was a need to bring it up again.

Suddenly she heard Tommy's jeep crunching the gravel coming towards the house. She quickly wiped her eyes and hid the box in her top desk drawer. Something was wrong. Even when he was by himself he was never back this quickly from a museum.

"Tommy!" she called out when he came through the door and she came down the stairs. "What's wrong?"

"We've got a big problem."

"Kim, just let me explain-"

"Tommy! I understood two months ago when you told me about the dino gems that you and Anton created. I understood when you explained that Anton miraculously survived the island explosion and didn't contact us for two years, but you didn't have the audacity to tell me that there were other gems out there? Or that one of them was created to be evil? Is there anything else you've forgotten to tell me?"

"Uh...I don't think so."

"Are there any other gems out there?"

"..."

"Has the evil gem bonded with anyone yet?"

"Yes."

"Do you know who yet?"

"No. But we will find out!"

"Well you better! Now, I'm going down to the lab to see if I can pick up any traces of the other dino gems you oh so conveniently forgot where they were hidden. You better go call Jason and Trini."

"Why?"

"Because you are going to need somewhere to sleep tonight!"

"Kim come on-"

"No Tommy! I have work to do and I can't have you standing over me apologizing for the rest of the night cause I know you will!"

Knowing he wasn't going to win this argument, Tommy grabbed his keys and headed outside. "I'm going to go back for that scanner we lost after the battle with the white ranger today."

"Don't think this is over handsome! It just means I'll have to spend less time at the gym if I want to know whats going on here."

"We'll talk about it tonight Kim." Knowing he wasn't going to win this fight, he got in his jeep and headed down to the warehouse, hoping Kim would let him back in the house in an hour for dinner.

~2 hours later~

"What do you mean he's fossilized?"

"He's frozen in this weird amber-like substance. There's nothing I can do to get him out of it."

"Have you contacted Billy yet?"

"I sent a transmission to Aquitar, but I haven't heard back yet."

"Well send it again!"

"Kim, I've sent it three times. Anymore and I'll jam up the frequency so we won't be able to receive his response."

Kim walked towards Tommy and stared at him for a moment. Tears began to come to her eyes. If Hayley couldn't figure out how to get him out of this, and Billy wasn't heard from, there was a chance that she would never see her husband again.

"Oh god, Tommy."

Hayley walked back to the super computer and tried to quietly research options to get Tommy out without bothering Kim. Suddenly the alarm sounded, and the white ranger was on the screen, terrorizing Reefside's park area.

"Guys," Hayley called into their communicators. "The white ranger is in the park."

"God, can't we ever have just one day off?" Conner asked.

"Nope, now get to work! Call me when you need the megazords!"

Hayley turned around to face Kim, and her jaw dropped.

"What did you say, Kim?"

Kim whipped around from Tommy's fossilized form, completely shocked. She was so upset, she had completely forgotten they weren't alone.

"How much did you hear?"

"You and Tommy have a son?"

Kim looked down and nodded, clenching her eyes shut to stop more tears from forming.

"Tommy doesn't know."

"Why not?"

"I got pregnant when he was green."

Hayley was silent for a moment, realization sinking in. "Kim no!"

"Tommy doesn't remember. I was thankful that he didn't, so I had the baby and gave it up for adoption. I kept it an open adoption so I used to get pictures and the little boy can contact me when he turns eighteen."

"So he'd be about fifteen now right?"

"Yeah."

Kim lifted her left wrist which still held her old communicator. She told Tommy and Hayley she just kept it around for sentimental reasons, but when she showed it to Hayley, she popped the top up to reveal a hidden compartment with the last picture she received of Trent shrunk down to fit.

"I haven't received a new picture of him in two years, and I can't get a hold of his adopted parents to find out why I haven't heard from them."

She looked up at Hayley and saw her looking shocked down at the small picture. "Hayley?"

"Kim...that's-"

"HAYLEY!"

Suddenly they were interrupted by Kira running down into the command center, completely out of breath.

"Hayley! You're not going to believe this!"

"What?"

"The White Ranger is Trent!"
