Hi this is my first fanfic so sorry if it sucks (13/06/19 updating to try and make it suck less lol)

Sky walked down the deserted path through the park, it was a place he often visited alone. He liked this time of night, no one else was around to bother him. He was coming up to the lake in the middle of the park, he was about to remove his shirt when a snapping sound behind him stopped him, he turned around ready to fight.

"Whoa whoa...sorry didn't mean to scare you," Z said with a smile on her face "jumpy a bit, aren't we." Sky sighed with relief and relaxed as Z came and stood beside him staring out onto the water.

"Well excuse me, but I didn't actually expect anyone good to be out at this time of night, you do know it's 2.00 in the morning," he asked her quizzically. He should have been pissed that she had ruined his plans, but for some reason, he was happy that she was here.

Z nodded and looked at him "yeah I know, couldn't sleep went into the common room to get away from the princess. Her snores were getting on my nerves. As I was getting a drink, I saw you out the window walking so decided to follow see what's up".

Sky, looked at her and he wondered whether telling Z his problems might help. He opened his mouth and she waited patiently for him to start talking but then he decided against it and closed his mouth. He sighed as he sat down near the water's edge.

Z sighed too and sat next to him "well ok then you know I thought we had become friends, at least enough for you to trust me. I promised I won't laugh or judge ok, talk to me" she pleaded Sky sighed.

"I do trust you Z, and we are friends, good friends, it's just something I'm not comfortable talking about. Not just with you but with anybody Bridge and Syd don't even know." He looked away from her then, he couldn't bear or her to see the pain in his eyes. They had become really good friends, but even the two he had known the longest didn't know. He had only ever talked about this problem with one person Drew, and he ended up betraying him and SPD.

Z got up taking him turning away from her the wrong way.

"Fine! have it your way Sky goodnight" Z started to walk away and Sky quickly stood up.

"NO WAIT!" he yelled. She stopped in her tracks and hesitantly turned to face him. He wouldn't know but for some unknown reason, he had cut really deeply by saying he couldn't trust her fully, she didn't fully understand it either. Sky walked up to her carefully ''ok Z I'll tell you on one condition''

"What is that?" she asked taking a step towards him.

"You tell me something you can't tell the others too. Deal?" he held out his hand for her, she took it hesitantly.

"Deal" came her reply. They both went to sit back down, but this time, near one of the trees nearby, so they could lean back against.
Sky sat silent for a while, Z tried to wait patiently but eventually, the silence started to get to her.

"Come on Sky what's got you up at two in the morning..." a thought popped into her head (that she really didn't want there.) "Y...y...you didn't get some girl pregnant, did you?"

She remembered his secret (well not so secret) day off three weeks ago.

"NO! NO nothing like that'' he stammered as he turned to look at her, shocked at her idea. "Did you really think I was that type of guy to be so careless. I mean not that I have been with anyone, but ..." he stopped blushing.

Z was confused, as to how much relief she got from his reply. Plus she didn't want to admit, even to herself, how much the idea of Sky with someone else irritated her.

"Well what is it then?" she asked frustratedly, Sky sighed as he looked at her. The only source of light was coming from the moon, as it reflected on the water. This gave him enough light to see her, and he was surprised to see the concern and worry looking back at him through her eyes.

"You remember that day I had off? the one that all of you have been bugging me about" she nodded. "Well, you know about my dad being the red ranger right'' again she nodded.

"Well, who you don't know about is my mother. After my dad died, she started drinking and wouldn't stop. When I told her I was joining SPD she threw me out of the house, and yell at me to never return. She said that she no longer had a husband or son, I just walked away, and never looked back. Until that day, I receive a letter from my mother telling me she was planning on killing herself. She wanted to say how sorry she was, she didn't mean to banish me from her life. She said she was scared of losing me like she lost my dad, and it cracked her. I told Cruger it was a very important family matter, he excused me for the day, but I had to promise I would come right back if a monster attacked"

Sky paused, the memory sweeping over her, he looked away from her as he tried to collect his thoughts. Z couldn't believe what she was hearing, she always pictured Sky's mum as a very proud mother, not some alcoholic who despised her son. She put her hand on Sky's shoulder, which made him look back at her. She hoped she was putting a comforting look on her face, urging him on.

"Well, when I reached the house it was dark and trashed. There was a big pile of mail near the door, I noticed an eviction notice on the table. I called out to her but there wasn't a reply. I checked downstairs but I couldn't find her so, I went upstairs. I found her in my old room unconscious with an empty bottle of pills next to her.

I tried to wake her up but she wouldn't so I picked her up and put her under the shower. It revived her a bit, I still rushed her to the hospital. She's still there, in a coma they said I found her in time to save her life, but they won't know the total effect until she wakes up." He turned away from her again, as tears started forming in his eyes. He tried to fight them back but one stray tear fell down his face, just in time for Z to force his face back around to face her and see it.

She quickly wrapped her arms around him and held him tight. At first, he didn't move but she just held on and eventually, she started to feel him wrap his arms around her and hug her back. His face was buried into her neck and she could feel the sobs wracking his body and soaking her neck which she didn't mind.

After several minutes passed Sky's sobs subsided and he released his hold on Z.

"Thanks" he smiled, she nodded and gave him a small smile.

"Why would you keep that a secret from your friends? I know that they would all want to help you."

"I know, I'm not good at asking for help'' she chuckled.

"well I guess a deals a deal, my turn'' she said with a sigh, he stopped her.

"You don't have to, I'm just happy to get it out" she smiled and shook her head.

"No we made a deal and I for one don't back out on deals and fights. Haven't you realised that yet'' she said with a smirk, he smiled and nodded. "Ok, well my secret not even Jack knows about it" his eyebrows shot up in surprise, she noticed. "I know, you will understand why he doesn't know, promise not to tell him," she asked, he nodded.

"of course I won't Z" he gripped her hand, that had been resting on her knees she smiled.

"Well you know, before SPD Jack and I lived on the streets. We had for most of our lives after my dad left me, there was only ever two men I trusted enough to come near me. That was Jack and...Cole. He was a friend to both of us eventually, but I met him first. It was sorta love at first sight ya know, and we became a thing fast, almost too fast thinking back now, I introduced him to Jack. They got on like a house on fire. Well, one day I started getting sick throwing up and everything. I knew a doc that I could go to for free, he gave me some shocking news. I was pregnant..." she paused letting the memory pass.

Sky's mind was reeling at the idea that Z had been with someone and that she had been pregnant. He (like Z before) didn't want to register the pang of jealousy he felt in his heart at the image of Z with another man. He waited for Z to continue, but she couldn't, he place a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"You don't have to continue if you don't want to" he offered. She shook her head again giving him a grateful smile.

"No I want to, I have to tell someone. Anyway, I was shocked, to say the least, but slightly excited. I thought me, Cole and the baby would be a happy family together. Something I never really had before, Jack would be there too of course, but when I told Cole he flipped. He got so angry and told me I had to get rid of it. He said we weren't ready for a baby or rather he wasn't. When I told him I wasn't going to get rid of it or have it adopted, he told me to make a choice either him or the baby."

A small tear fell from Z's eyes and Sky gently wiped it away, causing her to look up. It was his turned to give a comforting smile which she gave back.

"He was giving me a choice him or the baby, well I finally understood what some girls had told me about him when I started seeing him. They said he was nothing but bad news and he would only ever look after himself. I told him again I wasn't giving up the baby and with that, he just packed up his things and left a week later. I went back to the doctors because I was getting pains in my stomach. It turns out Cole didn't need to worry, I had a miscarriage the doc said it could have been due to stress. I never told Jack, it hurt too much, still does a bit."

Sky wrapped his arms around her this time, she returned the gesture. Eventually, they let go of each other.

"I guess we should get back and try to sleep, otherwise we will be in trouble" joked Z.

Sky nodded with a smile and stood up and help Z stand up as well.

"Yeah" he agreed, they start to walk back but then Sky stopped her.

"Listen Z, thanks and your erm... not"

"Don't worry I won't tell'' she said with a smile, he smiled too.

"Thanks, neither will I" he confirmed.

She nodded and they set off again. She felt better after telling someone, finally, maybe this was going to be the start of a better friendship between her and Sky.

Well that's the first chapter there will be more please review let me know what you think
