William Cranston walked along the shoreline in his arms the child slept, oblivious to the pain and fear of his father. After all Trevor Kwan Cranston was only a year old. He'd not known any of the love between his parents or of his mother himself. No, Trini had been killed in a car accident on her way home from her new acting job.
All alone I didn't like the feeling
All alone I sat and cried
All alone I had to find some meaning
In the center of the pain I felt inside
It was the memory of his wife's loss which haunted William now. He watched the ebb and flow of the crystalline water upon the sand and thought about all that had happened since his return to Earth almost five years ago. He'd found that the old gang had completely scattered to the wind. Kimberly had decided to stay in Florida and she'd married Jason after he'd broken it off with Emily and moved there to go to Florida State. Adam and Tanya had moved to L.A. and while she was singing he was directing her videos. At least, William thought now, something's hadn't changed. He'd been a little surprised to hear about Kat and Tommy though. He'd thought they'd stick together but with Tommy's racing career and her job in the London ballet, they had decided it wouldn't work. Now she was married to another dancer and Tommy was still racing. He'd been a little surprised Rocky had not gone into teaching; he'd opened his own dojo though so at least he was doing what he loved. Zack had been living in Kenya with Aisha and he'd had to smile. They were just the perfect couple. A couple… That was not he anymore. No, he was all alone… Forever to be alone…
All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Looking back over the sand William thought of the good times they'd had, how he'd run into her on a movie set. Trini had been hired to play the yellow space ranger in some new movie and he'd been called in as a consultant. He couldn't even pin point when he realized just how much he'd missed her or how much she really meant to him. He just remembered how nervous he'd been when he'd asked her to dinner. the courtship had flown by and then when they'd married they'd fallen together so perfectly there had never been a thought about the time they'd spent apart or his relationship with Cestria. No, they'd just been William and Trini Cranston, husband and wife.
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, and a million years gone by
William thought of all of the monsters they'd fought as power rangers, Zordon's chosen children and knew that they'd been what had started it. Sure they'd kind of been friends before he'd left earth but if they'd not been rangers perhaps she'd not have gone to the summit and he'd not left for Aquatar. Then heed never have come back and found her alone. Then…
It was all of that that told him that somehow, someday he'd once again see his friend, his lover, his wife.
I will see you in the light of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come, as we all will come
Through the doors beyond the grave
But then he still had a peace of Trini. Gazing down into the sleeping face of her son he smiled. Yes Trevor looked much like her and he could sometimes even feel her in him. Sometimes it was in how Trevor looked at him or how he would move, that fluid grace, it was hers. He'd seen her move through marshal arts work outs in its grip and even seen her make dinner with that same beauty.
William thought of all that would happen before he rejoined his wife and smiled. True, raising a son all alone would be hard but just knowing that she'd loved them both very much would give him the wisdom and strength to do so.
All alone I heal this heart of sorrow
All alone I raise this child
Flesh and bone, he's just
Bursting towards tomorrow
And his laughter fills my world and wears your smile
he knew that he'd see him grow up, he could feel it, it was why he'd not gone to pick Trini up from work, why he'd let her drive home. Not that he'd ever want her gone, but perhaps it was just how things were meant to be. She'd been meant to touch his life, and those of their friends. Perhaps she'd been sent to him, to love him and give life to their child.
Any way William knew that he was grateful for the time he'd had with her. Grateful for the chance he'd had to know her. It almost made this dull yawning pain worth while.
All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water and a million years gone by
