"Kim wake up," Tommy whispered as he gently shook her shoulder and she rolled over to face him. He felt bad for waking her, but he knew how important it was to eat when they were working in this sort of heat. "I brought you some supper."

"We need to talk," Kim murmured as he stared over at her while she rolled out of bed and pulled off her soaked t-shirt. It did not seem to matter what she was doing, the heat made her sweat more than she thought humanly possible and she went through clothes faster than a person should, but she could not stand to be that sweaty for long periods of time. "Do you notice anything different about me?"

"Yes, but why is this a big deal?" Tommy asked as he stood up and placed his hand on her slightly swollen abdomen. Her face fell as she stared at him and he realized he must have screwed up, somehow. "Kim, just tell me what's going on, you know that I am no good at guessing games."

"Tommy, I haven't had a period in four months," Kim said as he stared at her in shock as the realization hit him. "You're going to be a father."

"Why did you wait so long to tell me?" Tommy asked as he ran his hand over their unborn child in awe. If he had known that she was pregnant, he would have made things clearer to Billy when he called about exactly how urgent it was to get them out.

"Because at first I didn't really notice it and when I did there were no tests here, there still are no tests, but it's the only possible explanation," Kim said as he looked into her eyes and smiled. "You're not mad at me?"
"No, but this isn't why you want us to leave, is it?" Tommy asked as Kim shook her head no and he let out a sigh. He had figured that, but he had to know for sure. "Can you explain?"

"I just feel that we shouldn't be here, something is about to happen," Kim said as Tommy nodded and then walked over to their cot. He then proceeded to rid himself of his dusty, sweaty clothing while he thought over their options.

"I'll get you out of here tomorrow," Tommy said as she stared over at him and he looked down at his feet. He had known that she would not take those words well, but he could not see any other solution to the problem at hand. He needed to get her out of here, just so he could protect her and the baby. That was his main concern right now and if it made her mad, he'd deal with it. "We can say it's for health reasons and I'll follow you as soon as we get replacements."

"I'm not leaving you here," Kim said as he looked up at her. "We're safer when we're together Tommy, our powers protect each other."

"And you can't morph anymore," Tommy said as Kim gave him a startled look. She hadn't thought about what morphing might do to a baby and she certainly didn't want to experiment to find out. "I have to keep you safe."

"Tommy, I'm sure that it won't come to that, more importantly I feel that if I leave, something will happen to you," Kim said as he looked over at her. He felt the same way, but he could not say that and defend his position. He was far more worried about her than he was about his own health at the moment.

"I can take care of myself, that's our child that you're carrying, our baby…if anything happens to either of you, I'd never forgive myself," Tommy said as she sat down next to him and he placed his arms around her. "I love you far too much to lose you."

"And I can't imagine leaving you when I know that something is wrong. I want our children to have you there," Kim said as she looked over at him and then kissed him. "I love you."

"Yuck," Carla muttered as she finished listening to the recording Justin had taken mere minutes before. Sure, it worried her that they were suspect, but she doubted that they would suspect them, they trusted them. "For two of the most powerful Power Rangers in the world, they are awfully mushy."

"How many people know that they are rangers?" Justin asked as he settled down next to her. He was worried about what they were about to attempt, especially with who they were going up against. If half the stories were true about them, these were not people that you wanted to cross, no matter what.

"Most of the long time staff workers, ones like us, know the truth about them," Carla said as he nodded. He had thought that that would be what she said, but he had hoped that the number was even fewer. "We're well paid enough to keep us quiet, but that's not what we want out of this."

"I've known this for a long time. What makes now better than the next time?" Justin asked as he held up the box that contained the set of powers. Any other time they would have turned it in, now they were going to see exactly how far they were willing to go to get it.

"The fact that she's pregnant and she won't leave him. She knows just as well as we do that he'll give anything to keep her safe. He'll have to do that for our terms," Carla said as Justin smiled.

It had become apparent to them on the last dig just how valuable these gems were as an item. Never to be used as Power Ranger gems, but for trinkets. Of course, none of the other long timers had come to their sides with this idea. This was the one thing that might stop them, keep them from fulfilling their plan. Tomorrow was their day as the cite supervisors, Tommy and Kim trusted them to rotate the task out with all the others. It was their trust that they were betting on to keep them alive.
