Sequel to Perchance to Dream ... Two years have passed since the time Tori and Hunter first discovered they were in love. Lots has happened since then. They are married, and they have a beautiful little girl, who Hunter named for his adopted mother, Beth. Hunter is in college, studying engineering, and teaching at the academy. Tori is in college and the rest of the time she spends making a home for her little family.

Hunter came home after teaching and was tired but glad to be home. He opened the door, and a little whirlwind blew at him. Little chubby legs ran to him, and little arms reached for him. He leaned down and scooped up his precious and gave her a kiss and hug. She had a marshmallow in her hand, all gooey, and she accidentally left it on the side of Hunter's neck. His daughter was laughing, and happy to see him. She was just fourteen months old.

"Da...da. Woove yu."

"And daddy loves you my sweet." He put her down when Tori came from the kitchen. Beth ran to her room, to play. Hunter looked at his wife and smiled, all thoughts of tiredness gone. His little blond wife stood there, in one of his long sleeved shirts, with the sleeves rolled up. It barely covered her thighs, and she had it unbuttoned some at the top and the bottom.

"Do I get a kiss?" Hunter went over to her, and pulled her into his arms.

"Anything you want darling." He kissed her deeply, and loved the feel of her lips on his. "What's for dinner?"

"A special.... Tori surprise." Hunter smiled wolfishly down at her, his eyes darkening.

"Oh, lady you tease me so. Our daughter is awake and up. Have to wait." Tori put her arms around his neck, her fingers playing with his hair.

"I doubt it, she was just waiting for you." Hunter pulled away reluctantly, and went to check on his daughter. When he looked into her room, she lay on her tiny bed, sound asleep, blowing bubbles in her sleep, clutching her tiny motocross bear that her uncle Blake had given her. He turned and went back to his wife.

"You were right." He swept her up into his arms and carried her to their room.

An hour later, both came out of the bedroom, freshly showered and ready for dinner. Hunter had his arm around his beautiful wife, and smiling contently. Tori went to get the stew from the crock pot. Hunter went to help get the rest of the food on the table.

The doorbell rang, and Hunter went to answer it. There stood Dustin and Shane and their dates. Hunter let them in. "Hey something smells so good......"

"Yeah, stew." Hunter told Dustin.

"Oh man, sorry. Didn't mean to interupt dinner. But wondered if you and Tori might like to go to a party on the beach?"

"I don't think so, going to eat and go to bed early. Got a big day of classes tomorrow."

"Oh sure, if you change your mind, you know where we will be." The four left, and Hunter heard Shane talking, when he though he couldn't be overheard.

"Marriage must be boring, sitting at home, taking care of a baby. Watching tv, and going to bed early. No fun at all."

"Hey I don't know about that dude. I mean Hunter looks pretty happy to me. Must be something good about it."

"There is Dustin, more than you know." Hunter shut the door and smiled.

Tori came in with the bowl of stew and sat it down. She had heard the boys. "Well?"

"Let's eat." Tori let Hunter hold her chair for her, and he kissed her on the top of her head before sitting down himself.

Suddenly a little girl rushed in, and over to her daddy. He reached down and pulled her into his lap.

"Hey sunshine, nice nap?"

"Sssstooooooy." She looked over at her moma, and with her tiny starfish hand blew her a kiss.

"You want a story? Well......"

"Dad..dy." She looked up at him with his eyes, and her tiny bow mouth smiling, showing her little pink gums.

"Alright sweetheart." How he loved his little girl, and his big girl. Everyone thought he had been disappointmented in getting a girl first. But he didn't care, no one could be better than his little angel. Maybe he and Tori would have more kids, and a few boys. But if not, he was already blessed. He looked over at Tori.

"Sorry, darling. Hold the dinner."

"Go ahead you old softy." Tori smiled as he stood up holding their daughter.

"Who's soft? Not the mighty Hunter." He tried to look serious, then made a goofy face that set both of his girls laughing. He went into the bedroom and put his girl in her bed. He picked up the book that lay on the table and opened it.

"Dad..dy?"

"What sweety?"

She held out a book about power rangers. She pointed to the pink ranger, and then to herself. "Me."

Hunter busted out laughing, and he found it hard to stop. Tori came in wondering about it, and when her little girl did the same thing again, Tori joined him. Next generation?

"Guess you will have a new student in a few years at your academy."

"Yeah, I hope she doesn't beat me up too badly."

"Okay Crimson Ranger tell the pink ranger a story."

"Okay blue ranger, you listen too." He picked up the book and began to read.
