Chapter One: Prologue

A/N: This is my first fanfiction piece ever! I have been reading a lot of fanfiction over the last 4 months, so I decided to give a try with writing.

A/N: To be honest, I really don't care for Kat at all. Hercharacter on the show kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I am writing this story because I know she does deserve to find true love. However, it's not with Tommy, Jason, or Billy as I've read other stories where people pair her to those three.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Power Rangers and the names affiliated with the rangers, show's concepts belong to Saban. I wish I did own the Power Rangers, so I can make a reunion movie featuring Tommy and Kimberly.

Summary: Katherine "Kat" Hilliard has had several relationships since she has been a Power Ranger. Unfortunately, none of them have ever succeeded. She eventually does find her true love, and they get married and have a fairytale ending. One night, Kat's daughter asks her mom how she and dad met and get together. Thinking about all the rollercoaster relationships she's been through, she decides to tell her daughter her story.

Timeline: Post Jungle Fury. 2008-ish. The original Power Rangers will be featured mostly in this story. Kat's husband is the only one who will make an appearance just as much as the original. All other Power Rangers will make an appearance somehow.

Chapter One: Prologue

Monday, October 21

Los Angeles, CA- Home

06:30 a.m.

Katherine "Kat" Anastasia Hilliard, former Pink Mighty Morphin, Zeo, and Turbo Ranger, has just woken up from what seemed like a two hour sleep. She's currently seven months pregnant with her second child. It had been awhile since her last pregnancy. She already had a six year old daughter named Bailey Lynn. Kat rubbed her stomach and got up, so she could start her day. She had plans that day to meet up with her girlfriends. She hadn't seen her friends in a couple of weeks, and now was time for their biweekly lunch dates.

Walking to her bathroom, Kat couldn't help but notice her sexy husband taking a shower. He was under the water, washing his body with "Axe" body wash, and singing a little tune, Kat's pregnancy hormones kicked into full gear. She decided to join him in the shower. Kat started undressing and then hopped into the shower with him.

"Babe, what are you doing?" He asked.

"What? Can't I join my husband in the shower? I mean it will help save water." Kat said rather seductively. She then kissed him passionately, and he completely forgot the question he had asked her.

Smiling at her, he decided to start washing his wife's body. He started to get turned on and knew she was too. She had that look in her eye. That 'I want it right now and come on it's worth it' look. Even though he had to be at work in an hour and a half and he had to get his daughter to school, he decided to do what his wife wanted. They began to make love inside the shower. He knew Kat's pregnancy hormones wanted a bit more sex than the norm, but he couldn't help but please her. After their little rendezvous in the shower, they got out and started their morning routine.

Kat looked at the clock, it read 07:00 a.m. She laughed and looked at her husband, "Well don't you think that little session was rather quick?"

Her husband gawked at her, "Are you trying to tell me at this early in the morning you want a really long sex session?" He couldn't help but laugh at her. Lately, she had wanted more sex, more time with him, and more alone time. He kissed her and continued with his morning routine.

Kat started to wash her face, and then brushed her teeth. Her pregnancy glow caused her to look even more radiant than normal. She put on enough make up to accentuate her gorgeous blue eyes. She kept her bathrobe on and her hair in the towel; she was about to wake up their daughter when she heard the door burst open.

"Mommy! Can I have pancakes for breakfast!" their daughter Bailey Lynn said in an excited tone.

Bailey Lynn, Kat's only apple of her eye, 'for now' she thought. Bailey had an olive tint like her Dad, and she had his brown hair. She had her Mom's blue eyes and personality. In her parent's eyes, she was the perfect mix of the two.

Kat smiled at her daughter and laughed, "Of course!" she replied, "Now finish getting ready for school. Remember it's picture day, so wear that pink ensemble I picked out for you."

Bailey nodded and skipped backed to her room to finish start getting ready for school.

Kat's husband was almost finished getting ready, so Kat knew she needed to start getting breakfast ready before they both left.

"Kat," her husband called, Kat turned around to look at him, "I just wanted to say I love you and you look very beautiful this morning."

Kat couldn't help but smile at him. "Thank you," she said, and then went to kiss him on the lips. Of course what was meant to be a peck on the lips turned out to be a passionate one. When they finally parted, he went to finish getting ready. Kat then made her way downstairs.

Doing both her wife and motherly duties Kat started the coffee for husband, and then started to heat up the griddle for her daughter's pancakes. She began on the batter, went to the fridge to get the orange juice ready for her daughter, picked out a yogurt for herself, and started to get out her daughter's lunch for school.

Bailey came downstairs. She sat at the table patiently waiting for her pancakes to cook. Kat plated the pancakes on Bailey's favorite "Hello Kitty" plate, put a couple of pats of butter on them, and then put them in front of her daughter. Bailey then drizzled strawberry syrup on them. Bailey Lynn wasn't a fan of maple syrup because it was "too dark" for her liking. Kat never understood what her daughter meant by that. Never the less, Kat never questioned it.

Kat's husband came down the stairs. He was dressed in a white dress shirt, gray slacks, and black shoes. He had a black tie around his neck. Her husband was a doctor at Cedar Sinai Hospital. His occupation was an OB/GYN. Now, usually males don't prefer to be that kind of doctor, but for some reason he felt a joy in helping women deliver babies. After all, he had helped several others of the previous Power Ranger women in delivering their children. He was the Power Rangers' residential delivery doctor. His most recent Power Rangers related child delivery was for Conner and Kira McKnight of the Dino Thunder Team. He helped deliver their twin boys. He also had a side practice with Dana Grayson, previously Dana Carter, and Pink Lightspeed Rescue Ranger.

Kat handed her husband his coffee, bagel, and his briefcase that he always seemed to misplacing after coming home from work. Her husband seemed to be running late, so Kat offered to take Bailey to school. He agreed of course, he didn't want to be late to work. He was cutting close to rush hour traffic.

"Kat are you meeting up with the girls for your biweekly lunch?" he inquired.

"Yes, Hun, you know I always try to meet up with them. Pretty soon I won't be able to," she pouted.

He laughed at her expression and gave her a loving kiss goodbye. Then he walked over to Bailey, "Be good at school today and you look so pretty. I can't wait to see your pictures. Here's the check for your pictures by the way. Bye baby", as told her and kissed the top of her head.

"Bye Daddy! I'll see you later and be safe." She demanded. Her parents had always loved their daughter's compassion for others and making sure they were okay.

'A true pink in my eye', Kat thought, and she gave a smile.

"Are you finished eating?" Kat asked her daughter. Her daughter gave a nod, and Bailey went back upstairs to finish getting her things for school. Kat started to clean up a bit, but then stopped. Her baby had given her a very hard kick to her bladder. 'Maybe I shouldn't be cleaning huh? You just know when I need a tiny break already'. Kat's baby kicked again to agree with her. She smiled. She couldn't wait to meet her new baby.

Kat went upstairs to finish getting ready. It was about 07:45 a.m. It was time for Bailey to head to school.

Both girls made their way to the garage, climbed into her White Range Rover with pink rims, and headed out to drop Bailey off for school.

Los Angeles, CA- K.H. Dance Company

11:30 a.m.

Kat Hilliard is a highly esteemed ballet dancer. After her tenure as a Power Ranger, Kat had left for the Royal Dance Academy in London. There she worked her way up to be a from a nobody to a somebody. Everybody loved her dancing, and she was always asked to perform in a lot of shows. She always agreed because she felt like at the time she didn't have anything else going on in her life. Kat missed being a Power Ranger, she had missed being with her friends, fighting for the people of the Earth and sometimes other planets, but at the same time she knew her time as a Power Ranger was over. She smiled looking at her school. She owned a very successful school, and some past Power Rangers were even employees at her school. Even though some Power Rangers didn't have any link to the power, they Rangers felt like they were linked together somehow.

Lily Chilman, former Yellow Jungle Fury Ranger, came up to Kat and started to rub her belly. Kat smiled at her. "Lily, it's great to see you! How are your classes going? I hope they're great!" Even though Kat wasn't a yellow, she had formed a great bond with Lily. Lily had only been working with Kat for about four months, but they have become close.

"My classes are going great. I really love working here!" she replied as she smiled. "Unfortunately, I might not be able to continue teaching likes I was before."

Kat looked at her worried. "What do you mean?" The way Lily was sounding made Kat think that she's quitting or something. She hoped that she wasn't quitting. Lily was kind of like her protégé, and she hoped that Lily with the help of Ashley Hammond, former Yellow Turbo/Astro Ranger, would watch the school on Kat's maternity leave.

Lily smiled, "I am three months pregnant!" Kat let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

Kat shrieked and started crying happy tears. "Oh my gosh! Lily, I am so happy for you congratulations." Kat said as she hugged Lily. "How is Casey taking the news?" Kat knew about Lily's relationship with the former Red Jungle Fury Power Ranger. After Lily gave up the power, she had started to date fellow former Blue Jungle Fury Power Ranger, Theo. They dated for three months before realizing they were really good friends. Shortly afterwards, Casey and Lily decided to give things a try. Of course they wanted Theo's blessing, and he gave it to them because he always had a feeling there was something between the two of them.

"He's very excited. I know he's ready to ask the former Power Rangers for advice and tips. Casey's nervous about talking to Dr. Oliver, Jason, Billy, your husband and just about the other former Power Rangers who are Dads," she laughed.

"Tell him now not to worry. All former Power Rangers look out for each other. Same goes for you, all us former Power Rangers who are Moms will look out for you as well" Kat advised. She couldn't believe how big the family of Power Rangers has gotten. Zordon's generations of Rangers had always played mentor to the other teams of Power Rangers. So, it's only natural that now parenting was now another thing to mentor former Rangers in.

"Thanks Kat that means a lot to me", Lily looked at her watch, "Okay I gotta start teaching my class. I'm going to take it really easy for the sake of the baby". Lily gave Kat a hug and walked away.

Kat looked at her watch and realized it was time to start heading out to lunch. She had to meet up with her girlfriends, Kimberly Hart Oliver, Tanya Sloan Park, Aisha Campbell DeSantos, Trini Kwan Scott, and Hayley Ziktor Cranston. She told Ashley she was leaving, and exited the building to meet up with her girlfriends.

West Hollywood, CA- Ketchup Restaurant

01:00 P.M.

Kat arrived at the restaurant a little after one. She was excited to see her girlfriends. It had been awhile since they last saw each other. While seated at her table, the waitress delivered her a strawberry milkshake, with a side of pickles. Kat's cravings were the same as last pregnancy.

"I am so jealous, you don't even look that big. When I was carrying Zoey Lizette I was huge. I felt like a house," Aisha DeSantos, former Yellow Mighty Morphin and Ninjetti Ranger, teased Kat.

"I'll take that as a compliment, but you have to remember you were carrying Rocky's child. I am sure that baby would be hungry every hour." Kat joked and gave Aisha a hug.

"Okay Aisha now move over I gotta give my successor a hug as well" Kimberly, original Pink Mighty Morphin and Ninjetti Ranger, had made her self-known. Besides Kimberly was Hayley. 'They did always end up carpooling together', Kat smiled as she went to hug Hayley.

"So where are the rest of mighty yellows?" Kat queried as a the two came towards the table. Trini and Tanya came and gave Kat a hug.

Kat always loved what she would call the "Sassy Six". They all had husbands who were former Power Rangers, and even though they had their fights her and there were always able to have each other's backs. Kat loved her friends, and she knew they would always be friends because of all the drama they had been through in their past. 'I can't believe I almost lost a couple of friendships over stupid stuff and petty arguments. I know Hayley probably feels the same way'.

"So, what has everyone been up to?" Trini, the original Yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, said as she looked at the menu. She was five months pregnant with her and original Red Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, Jason Lee Scott's third child. Jason and Trini had always been attracted to each other during their reign power rangers. When they left for the Peace Conference, they had started going out. A couple of years later, Jason left to become the Gold Zeo Ranger. Shortly after his return for the power, they had broken up. Jason dated other people, but Trini didn't. Eventually they got back together, and Jason kept kicking himself in the ass because he didn't understand how he let Trini go. Not to mention she always did kick his ass herself. They already had a 8 year old son, Thomas Lee Scott, and a 3 year old daughter named, Reyna Kim-Ly Scott.

Hayley was starting to rub her belly, "You know Billy and I are expecting our first child 7 months from now" she said as she smiled the biggest smile. Hayley Cranston, formerly Haley Ziktor and Dino Thunder's resident techie. She had met Tommy at the beginning of 2000s. Tommy and Hayley went to school together. She had started roughly amongst the group of former Power Rangers, especially the females in the group. After seeing the error in her ways, she became very loved as if she was a Power Ranger. Hayley began to help develop the technology for the Dino Thunder Team, and that's when she met Billy. William 'Billy' Cranston, the original Blue Mighty Morphin, Ninjetti, and Zeo Technical advisor was the one who swept Hayley off her feet. She became smitten by him when they helped Tommy build his command center. They didn't start dating at first, Billy was involved with someone, but over time Billy realized Hayley was the one for him. They shortly got married after that. "Not to mention my Hayley's Cyberspace is doing great. Now that Billy has set up some other cool stuff where people can make videos, a karaoke machine, and a smoothie maker that makes smoothies in five seconds with a press of a button, I save money on hiring workers." All girls laughed at that. Billy would always make a wacky invention that would help his wife. "I'm just kidding about the workers though, I love my staff they help me a lot"

Everyone in the group gave Hayley a hug. They were excited; she would be the last one of the "Sassy Six" to have a baby.

"Wow, that is going to be one smart baby" Kimberly said as everyone in the group agreed. "As for me, mine and Tommy's gymnastics/martial arts gym is going great. I'm so thankful we only own it. Not to mention Bulk and Skulls Cabana/ Hotel is still doing great, Bulkmeier's. Tommy is so glad we are part owners in that too. And, we both love teaching at Reefside High School. He's still happy being a science teacher, I am happy being an arts teacher. Sophia, Steven, and A.J. are doing great as well." Kimberly and Tommy have been going strong for what seemed like half their life now. The "Original Power Ranger Couple" as they have been dubbed throughout the ranger community. After Kimberly gave up her power to pursue her dreams for the Pan Globals, Kimberly had sent a letter to Tommy eight months later. Tommy was heartbroken. He wasn't even sure if Kimberly and him could get back together, they had dated other people before finally trying again. After the drama, they knew they were in it for the long haul. After the Red Ranger Mission in 2002, they gotten married and they had kids after that. They had twins, Sophia Alexandria and Steven Alexander, age 10, and Ariana Jane, age 7.

Aisha smiled at that, "Nice to know 'O Fearless Leader' the is handling all that. I still don't get why you guys still work that many jobs. You guys make us successful people look poor."

Kimberly smirked, "Aisha, come on like you and Rocky aren't rolling in dough either. Besides Tommy and I love teaching. The other things we are involved in are so we can make sure Sophia, Steven, and A.J. has a comfortable life in the future."

Aisha couldn't agree with her more, "Well Bear and Ape Veterinary Hospital is doing great. I love helping the animals. Rocky's Red and Blue M.Z. dojos are doing great as well. Zoey is a very spoiled child. Not to mention she has the greatest Aunts and Uncles in the world." Aisha DeSantos, formerly Aisha Campbell, had eloped Rocky DeSantos after three months of her coming home from Africa. They were just that IN love. Shocking a lot of people in the process, but that didn't matter. All they cared about was being with each other. Rocky had hurt his back shortly after the Power Rangers had received Turbo powers. He passed his powers onto Justin Stewart, who at 12, would be the youngest serving Power Rangers. In 2004, Aisha gave birth to their daughter Zoey Lizette.

"Well anyways, Adam is doing really well with the clinic that he opened up last year. He loves working with kids. I am so happy for him. Cassie and I love our talent scout company as well. Kids are pursuing their dreams, and we make sure their parents aren't crazy like some parents who are looking at their children as bank accounts instead of actual children. I would never put Derek or Kaylani through that." Tanya shared. Tanya Park Sloan, former Yellow Zeo and Turbo Ranger, is married to Adam Park, former Black Mighty Morphin, Green Zeo and Turbo. He is a pediatrics doctor and Tanya is a talent scout. They married right shortly after college. They had two kids. Derek Hee Young was the oldest at 5 and Kaylani Adia age 4.

"What about you Kat?" Hayley inquired. Hayley and Kat had bumped heads shortly after they met. After settling their differences, they became really good friends.

Kat looked at everyone, and all the girls noticed that twinkle in her eye. "You know my life has been a whirlwind," she began as the girls nodded in agreement, "I couldn't be happier. It took a lot for me to get to where I am today. Bailey's great, she helps a lot. I can see her being a Pink in the future." Everyone laughed at that. "My husband's great, and I am so thankful for him. For showing me how to love again."

All the girls in the group knew Kat's history with relationships has not been a great one. There were often times Kat had gotten into fights with Kimberly, Trini, and Hayley because of who their husbands were. Kat had been jealous of all those three because she always felt second best. Even if she had dated them first. She was also jealous of Tanya and Aisha because they had their soul mates yet they didn't have to fight another woman over them. Kat overcame all hostilities with her girlfriends and now she couldn't be happier.

The ladies continued with their conversations and finished up lunch. All girls said their farewells and knew they would meet up for two weeks again for the same lunch date.

Los Angeles, CA- Home

08:00 P.M.

It had been a long day for Kat. After leaving her girlfriends, she went back to her school. She caught up with Ashley and Lily, and they discussed her maternity leave. Since Kat was so far long in her pregnancy, she didn't do much else besides desk work or watching all the other teachers teach their class.

Then she went to pick up her daughter. Bailey came in the car yelling and screaming about her day. Kat couldn't help but laugh. Her daughter was a bundle of energy. She's confused where that came from, since her husband was the calmer one of the two. Yet Kat was really reserved. 'Must be a recessive trait' Kat wondered.

Kat's husband came home early that day. He had told her that Rose Hartford, formerly Rose Ortiz and Operation Overdrives' Pink Ranger, came in today. She was two months pregnant. Kat couldn't believe another ranger was pregnant. Lily, Hayley, and now Rose. They both wondered if anyone else was pregnant on Mirinoi or KO-35. Kat's husband had help in the delivering the Power Ranger Babies, so he knew he wouldn't be all shoulder deep in the placenta. Dana Grayson was one, also Alyssa Evans, formerly Alyssa Enrile and White Tiger Force Ranger. Alyssa was studying to be a teacher, but found she liked being a doctor a lot more. Dana and Alyssa formed a great bond after the Red Ranger mission back in 2002.

The family had gone out to dinner at John's Incredible Pizza in Buena Park, CA. They figured this would be a time for family bonding, plus Bailey had been wanting to go. Kat's husband made sure she didn't spend too much time on her feet. She was able to watch Bailey and her daddy play the games. Kat stood aside and took pictures for the scrapbook she's been making since Bailey was born. The baby in the womb kept kicking Kat after she sat down. 'What's going on in there huh? You want me to stand back up? Not going to happen buddy'. Kat's baby kicked in agreement. She kept rubbing her stomach. After about 3 hours of playing games they finally headed home.

Now it was bedtime for Bailey. After Bailey washed her face and brushed her teeth, Kat made Bailey pick out her clothes for school. Next, Bailey was in bed about to lie down when she called for her mom.

"Mommy?" Kat turned around and looked at her daughter; she gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek.

"What is it baby?" Kat wondered what her daughter was thinking about, usually when her daughter was in bed, Bailey would fall fast asleep.

"I want a bedtime story, but not the one you read out of books." Bailey replied. Kat looked at her daughter questioningly 'where is this going?'.

"Um, okay so what story would you like that doesn't come from a book?" Kat said.

"The story of how you and Daddy met and fell in love!" Bailey looked at her mother with puppy dog eyes. Bailey wanted to know the story really badly. She believed her mom was a princess and finally got her handsome prince.

Kat looked at her daughter and smiled. She knew this was coming. A lot of their friends and family had known Kat and her husband had their ups and downs in love. Not to mention Kat made the biggest mistakes out of all of them. She tucked her daughter in, "Okay princess, it all started when I was 16. I first moved to Angel Grove from Australia…. I met an evil witch, your Aunt Kimberly, and Uncle Tommy, Aunt Aisha, Uncle, Rocky, Uncle Billy, and Uncle Adam… and a powerful Wizard with his robot companion…."
