The Greatest Gift
By: TriniFan
---Chapter 1---
I watched as my new daughter Amy unpacked her stuff. I still can't believe my best friend is dead.
"Do I have to call you mom?" Amy asked me harshly between sobs. I looked up from what I was doing, "No," I said shaking my head "You don't have to call me anything you don't want to." I know we both have a lot of adjusting to do I have to adjust to being a new single mom to a grieving five year old and Amy has to adjust with having losing her mom, getting a new mom, and living in a new home.
Amy sat on her bed holding the bear her uncle Tommy gave her she looked so much like her mother had at that age, "You know you look just like your mother when she was your age." I told Amy hoping lift her little spirit.
Amy looked at me, "I do?" she asked through her tears.
"Yes you do," I tell her, scooping her up in my arms, "Do you want me to tell you how I met you mom?" I ask her.
"Yes, please." Amy said with a smile, the first I had seen since the day Trini had fallen ill.
My tears fell like rain drops as I remembered the first day I saw Trini Our Kindergarten class was having recess when I saw Amber and Nikkei teasing a new girl I took a deep breath and walked over to them "leave her alone," I said to Amber.
"Oh yeah?" Amber said getting up in my face I just shoved her back and helped the girl up.
"I'm Kimberly Hart." I said to her as we walk away.
"I'm Trini Kwan." she said. "Do you want to come over to my house after school?" She asked hope shinning in her dark eyes.
"Yeah but I have to ask my mommy first" I told her.
"Then what happen?" Amy asked me.
"Well," I begun, "We became friends and over the years we became very close almost like sisters I still remember the time we became Power Rangers." I said hugging Amy in my arms.
"Ooh! Please tell me about that day!" Amy yelled excitedly I couldn't help but smile at her. I will never forget that day
There was this massive earthquake we all ran to safety just as we reached the steps we all felt this weird feeling then all sudden we were flying in the air in little streaks of colored lights."
"Cool," Amy said breaking into my thoughts, "then what happened?"
"Well then we landed in this weird place," I told her as I remember walking around a dark creepy place full some type of computers "This isn't the mall is it?" I asked my friends.
"This place is magnificent!" Billy yelled excited by all the sites there were to be seen.
"How did we get here?" Jason asked.
"I just want to know were here is." Trini said when all sudden this huge floating head came down from this tube like thing, then this robot came out. The head told us he was Zordon from the planet Eltar the robot's name was Alpha five they told us that the Earth was in danger and needed our help. Zack and I didn't believe him and was the first two to leave. Trini, Jason, and Billy stayed for a few seconds before they too left. Once we were outside these gray things attacked us. After we had gotten thrown on top of each other we used the weird looking devices called morphers that Zordon gave us and that's when we all became power rangers
"Wow what color was my mom?" Amy asked looking up at me. I stood up and put Amy on the bed and under the covers.
"She was the Yellow Ranger she had the powers of the saber tooth tiger." I told Amy as I tucked her in.
"Tell me more about her," Amy said yawning, "how was I born?"
I smiled at her remembering the day Trini told me she was pregnant. Tommy and I were at the park playing frisbee when Trini came running up to us crying "Trini what's wrong? I asked as I saw how distraught she looked Trini wiped her eyes.
"I'm pregnant and when I told Li-Hei he said it wasn't his and that I was sleeping around he told me he didn't want anything to do with me and to leave him alone!" Trini sobbed. I could see the anger in Tommy's face.
"That bastard I'll kill him!" he yelled hugging Trini. "Don't you worry your Pretty head Kim, Jase, Zack, Billy, and I will help you, you won't be alone on this."
"Yeah, Trini, if Li-hei wants to be an asshole then it's his loss." I told her.
"Thanks, what would I do without you?" Trini sobbed.
"You'd go insane." Tommy joked making Trini laughed
"Uncle Tommy is so funny." Amy said cutting into my thoughts once again.
"Yes he is." I smiled.
"Do you love him?" Amy giggled.
"No. we are just friends I lied." I will never stop loving him I thought to myself.
"Finish the story Kimberly, when do I come in?" Amy asked I look at her as I brushed her bangs out of her face, I remember the day she came in to the world.
Come on Trini one more Push! I yelled as Trini screamed giving a big push soon the room was filled with the cry of a newborn, "It's a girl!" the doctor yelled he soon placed her in Trini's arms.
"Kimberly isn't she beautiful?" Trini asked.
"She sure is." I told her smiling at the small infant.
"Do you want to hold her?" She asked.
"You know I do." I said smiling as I took her from Trini's arms and held her in mine securely, "So do you have a name for her?" I asked.
"Amy Nicole Kwan." Trini said smiling at me.
"I love that name" I said"
I looked down and see Amy fast asleep so I get up turn off her light and go down stairs. I made myself a cup of coffee and go on the internet. I then log on to my webblog and jot down my feelings for today then I check the comments I see one from Aisha,Hey girl I'm sorry to hear about Trini, can't wait to hear how your first day with Amy went Lance and I will be there next week for the BBQ. Can't wait to see you please post some photos of Amy I want to see her beautiful face-Aisha I smiled then redid my post apologizing to Aisha for not having a photo yet. It was too soon Amy wouldn't want to pose for any photos for a while and truly I didn't want to either. I finished my coffee logged off the internet then headed to bed, but I couldn't sleep I kept thinking of Trini and how she was no longer with us. She had died of heavy metals poisoning. I remember the day she died the day she gave me the greatest gift.
Trini looked at me weakly taking my hand, "Kimberly, promise me you'll take Amy and raise her like your own." Trini gasped.
"No." I said shaking my head you can do that, your not gonna die on me! You hear me!" I cried.
"Kimberly we both know I'm going to die so please sign these." Trini said handing me a pile of papers; it was the adoption papers I looked them over she had done signed them, with shaking hands I signed them.
"I promise you Trini I will raise her like my own little girl and she will never forget you I promise I sobbed as I watch as my best friend flat line.
My tears kept falling and soon I felt my self drifting off to sleep.
