A/N – I decided that instead of trying, and probably failing, to make up my own demon I would use one from the show as well as give him other powers. Either the rangers haven't face him before or somehow he came back from the dead, you decide.

Chapter 3-Tough Decision

Dana ran all the way out of the Aquabase without stopping. She continued to run until she came to a half deserted park over looking the bay. As she sat down on one of the swings, tears continued to pour down her cheeks. What am I going to do? Dad won't even talk to me and Ryan isn't really pleased with me. I've got no family anymore! Little did Dana know that as her mind was reeling and she continued to sob, one of Queen Bansheera's demons was reading her mind to give the evil queen the advantage over the Power Rangers she had been looking for. Finally finding what he was looking for, Memorase left the Pink ranger to herself and transported himself back to the Skull Cavern to make his report.

"What news do you bring?" asked the queen.

"I have discovered that the pink ranger's family is mad at her for becoming pregnant with the red rangers child. Her father won't even speak to her, and she's contemplating running away." Said Memorase.

"This could be to our advantage. With the rangers in turmoil and the pink ranger left defenseless and alone, we will make our move. Memorase, you will take on human form and comfort the pink power brat until she trusts you. Spend as much time with her as you must to keep her from patching up her problems. After a while bring her here. Her child will become Olympius', heir to my throne. See that this happens without fault. Now go, and do not let any harm come to the child she carries or it will be you I turn to dust and not the rangers!"

"Yes my queen!" Said Memorase, and disappeared. He transported himself back to the pink rangers side, this time as a human. As Dana continued to cry, he snuck up on her and handed her a tissue.

"You shouldn't cry. Whatever happened can't be so bad to make such a pretty face so sad." Said Memorase. "Maybe I can help."

"Thank you, but no. I'm alright." Said Dana.

"Are you sure? Can I give you a lift anywhere?"

"No, that's ok. I'm Dana by the way."

"John, nice to meet you."

"Well I'd better be going. Thanks again." As Dana walked off Memorase stared at her with transfixed eyes. Still staring at her, he started walking away, knowing that he could find her whenever he needed her.

---------------------

Dana arrived back at the Aquabase to find that nothing had changed and no one had been looking for her. This didn't bother her; for she had needed time to herself. Dana was still sniffling as she walked back into her room.

"Hey. Sorry for taking off like that." Said Dana.

"It's alright. We knew you would need time to yourself." Said Kelsey.

"But we're glad you're safe." Said Chad. Just then the door opened and Carter walked in. As soon as he saw Dana he ran forwards and hugged her.

"I'm so glad your ok! I was so worried about you!" Said Carter. "Look, before you can say or do anything, we need to figure out what we're going to do. We've been talking about it for a month and now it's time that we do something."

"But before you decide anything" interrupted Ryan, "Now that dad knows, you're going to see a doctor if I have to throw you over my shoulder and carry you there."

"But-"

"No buts. I've watched you in pain like that for the past month and I'm not going to do it anymore. So what'll it be? You going to come quietly or not?"

"Alright. Let's go see Ms. Fairweather." All six of them walked down to the lab where Ms. Fairweather was working on what looked to be a new weapon, although with all the scientific stuff on paper, and the computers, and coming out of everyone's mouth, none of them could know for sure. Joel went over to her immediately and started talking to her, completely forgetting why they were there, until Chad came over and pulled him away saying that Dana needed Ms. Fairweather's help.

"Uh, Ms. Fairweather?" asked Dana. "You probably haven't heard, but I'm…um…pregnant. And I haven't been to see a doctor yet or anything and I've been having pains for the past month and-"

"What?!" she cried. "Dana, you haven't been to see a doctor?! You're a paramedic! You should know better." The news that Dana was pregnant wasn't nearly as shocking to the scientist/Lightspeed's resident doctor, then Dana being pregnant and having not seen a doctor in over a month. She grabbed Dana's arm and dragged her to the next room where she pushed the younger woman onto a medical bed. She grabbed a scanner and ran it over Dana's stomach, then attached it to the computer.

"Alright Dana, let's see what's happening." She said, pressing a bunch of buttons on the keyboard.

"Is the baby alright?" asked Carter who normally was the patient one.

"I take it you're the father." It wasn't a question. Carter just nodded sheepishly.

"The baby is fine, but what I don't understand is the pains you've been having. You're about three months along, it's too early for false labour. The only thing I can think of is that you've been under an unusual amount of stress."

"That wouldn't surprise me." Inputted Ryan. "Dad didn't know until a few hours ago."

"I see. Dana, I understand that you were worried about telling the Captain, and I can see you're worried about how he'll react once he's calmed down, but YOU'VEgot to calm down. Large amounts of stress can cause those kinds of pains, but if they happen to frequently, or severely they're dangerous. If you get stressed out too much, you could have a miscarriage, or even go into labour six months early. You need to be careful, alright?"

"Yeah. Now that dad knows things should be a little less stressful."

"Good. Now I want you to get some rest, and you're to come twice a month for a checkup, and don't even think about skipping, because there are five people here I can send to hunt you down if I don't want to myself."

"Don't worry I won't skip." Satisfied, Ms. Fairweather left. The rangers slowly walked back to Dana's room.

"Now we need to figure out what we're going to do." Said Carter.

"I know, but I just don't know WHAT I want to do. It's going to be so hard without dad there for me. I guess…I guess I've decided that the best thing is for me to get a place of my own, outside of the Aquabase. I'll carry the baby to term and then decide what to do."

"You can't move out!" Said a stunned Carter. "Listen Dana, I know this is tough for you, but now that we can't stop this from happening, I…I want this baby. I've always wanted a child and now I'll get one. I was hoping, to simplify the complexities of custody, that we could get married and then they baby will know both of its parents."

"Married?!? I still haven't decided if I want to keep the baby, and you're talking to me about marriage?!" Yelled Dana. "Carter, I don't want to get married! At least not yet! It's not that I don't love you, but I'm only eighteen years old, and I'm not ready to be married!"

"But Dana, can't you see that this is what's best for the baby?" Said Carter.

"What about what's best for me?!" Cried Dana. Dana was pissed. Mere hours after she had told her father the hardest thing she ever had to, watched him react the way he did, and even after a month was still trying to come to terms with her pregnancy he was proposing marriage?! Dana's eyes flashed at Carter. "You know what, I'm leaving. I'm finding a place outside of here and then I'll deal with this the way that I want to!" With that, she stalked out of the room fuming, and ran right into her father.

"Dana…" He said. "Are you-"

"Look I can't handle you being horrible to me right now so just back off!" She said and ran to the loading bay.

-------------

Memorase watched as the pink clad woman walked down the street crying. He jumped in a car, not caring who it belonged to, and drove to catch up with Dana.

"Hey. Need a lift?" He asked.

"John. No, I-"

"Dana!" Carter said as he ran toward her. "Dana you have to come back! We need to talk about this!"

"I'm done talking Carter! And I'm not coming back!"

"Yes you are!" Carter said as he started to grab her arm.

"Hey!" Memorase said as he stepped out of the car. "You heard her. She doesn't want to go with you!"

"Look mind your own-"

"No! You mind your own business!" Shouted Dana.

"This is my business! You're carrying my child!" Carter said.

"And that was obviously a mistake. Come on John, I would love that ride." Dana said as she climbed into the passenger seat.

"If I were you I'd leave the lady alone from now on." Threatened Memorase. With that he jumped into the driver's seat and took off.
