A/N: This story was inspired by C.A.Elenath's 'Wanting You Near'. It's the first Power Ranger fic I've ever written and I never really had the intention to publish it, just some writing to pass the time and I never quite finished it. I came across it when I was transferring files to my laptop and still didn't do anything with it, but now I decided to finally finish it and share it with you all.

I should give some explanation about this AU, for there won't be any A/N's or anything in the story itself;

Kimberly Hart and Ashley Hammond are cousins. They used to get along great, but got into a fight not long after Kimberly sent Tommy The Letter. Ashley was born in Angel Grove, but her mother died after giving birth, so her father decided to move. He married Marie when Ashley was 5, but she died in a car crash two years after giving birth to their daughter Shannon. Ashley was eight by then. Again Ashley's father remarried, this time to Sarah. When Ashley was 10, Anna was born. They didn't move back to Angel Grove until after Kim left. The other rangers know about Kim having a cousin called Ashley and the other way around, but non ever made the connection between the two.

The reason behind The Letter will be in this fic, though it's the same as most other writers and some things in the fic will disagree with reality, but hey, it's an AU.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story. Though I must warn you, the chapters aren't very long.

Oh, one more thing I'm almost forgetting: NOT MINE!

On with the story:

Dear Dairy,

I can't believe this is happening to me, it just ain't fair. First I'm late, so I make a doctor's appointment and tell Andros I might be pregnant. He was happy when I told him, even if it wasn't sure yet. He never even got to know I really am pregnant, he got shot two days before my appointment. In hospital they had him on life-support. As I said two days later was my doctor's appointment and I found out I really am pregnant. When I got home Zhane and Karone were waiting for me. Zhane said I'd better sit down. I did and he told me the doctors gave up on Andros and would terminate his life in 78 hours. I told them I couldn't stay on KO-35, not with this baby coming and Andros ... I mean, it was Andros home planet, so naturally everything there would have reminded me of him. I couldn't go back to Angel Grove either, there is too much to remind me of him there. Zhane and Karone wouldn't let me go alone because of my pregnancy. The only one I could think of to turn to was Kim, even though she wasn't talking to me, I had to try. She was more then happy to help me and forget about our fight. A short conversation between her and Coach Schmidt got us a home in the dorm apartment Kim shares with Renee and a job as assistant coaches. Karone and I work with the gymnastics team and Zhane works with the martial arts team. I would have worked with the martial arts team too, but I don't want to endanger my baby. The Olympics are in about 5 and a half month, I'll be 6 months through then. I don't know if I can take this, but I'll try. If there is a God out there, please give me the strength to get through this.

Love,

Ashley
