Chapter 3
The next morning every past and present ranger shot up and jumped out of bed. Aisha who was still in Africa was shocked that her best friend hadn't told her that he was gay. Jason, Trini, and Zack were shocked to find out that Tommy was getting married so soon, they hadn't even known that their ex-team mate was bi. The rest of the Zeo rangers didn't know what to think. And Kimberly was saddened that Tommy had moved on from her so fast.
At 6:50 a.m. Pacific time, Zordon told alpha to teleport everyone to the Command Center he needed their help in protecting Adam from Rita and the others.
As soon as they got there, though, they all started to ask questions.
"Zordon, what happened last night?" Asked Tanya
"Why did we all have the same dream?" Trini asked.
"I need to take a cold shower." Rocky said.
"How come Tommy and Adam never told us that they were together?" Asked Aisha
"What did the red light surrounding Adam's stomach mean?" Zack asked Zordon.
"What is going on here?" Billy asked.
Everyone stopped talking and looked towards Zordon for an answer. Zordon took a second to look into all of his rangers' eyes making sure there was no judgment in them.
"The reason I brought all of you here was to not only answer all of your questions, but to recruit you all to protect Adam," Zordon said softly.
"But why did all of us dream about them having sex? And why do we have to keep Adam protected? Last time I saw him, which was yesterday, he could protect himself very well," Rocky asked.
"You all had the same dream because it was a prophecy coming true."
"Come again?" Asked Kimberly. "What does a dream of my ex-boyfriend having sex and getting engaged with one of my best friends have to do with a prophecy?
"A long time ago, when I was younger, an old seer called for me to tell me about a vision she had that was of great importance. It was a long time before I went to see her, as she wasn't a very reliable seer. She couldn't even predict if it was going to rain that day or not. But, one day, the most evil of aliens came to Eltar; The Patronians, they had the power to turn even the most good of people to the most evil of people. My planet was in mass panic and I was one of the planet's protectors. Everyone told me that I would do great things. They told me it was my destiny. On the day the Patronians came, I was preparing to propose to my girlfriend. But I didn't get the chance to because she refused to accept being with me until I went to the seer and did what I needed to do. She told me to go to the seer and do what the seer asked of me. I listened to her even though it broke my heart to let her go.
I went to the seer and she told me that sometime in the far off future, now remember that this was about two to three million years ago, that a child was going to be born from a falcon and a frog. She said that the child was going to be extremely powerful because it was going to be fathered by the falcon and that it was vital that, while pregnant with the child, the frog was to be under complete protection. Back then I had no idea what the frog and falcon had meant, but I understand now, the falcon is Tommy's ninja animal and the frog is Adam's. During my meeting with the seer I discovered that all of my best friends were turned evil and I began my years of searching for the frog and falcon and in between that I became what I am today, a floating head." Zordon said gesturing to himself.
"So to get this straight, Adam and Tommy are having a kid and you need us to protect Adam, as he is carrying the child, because you were injured while searching for them and the red light surrounding Adam's stomach meant that he was carrying the red ranger's baby?" Asked the blue ranger.
Zordon nodded his head. "Yes Billy. That is exactly what I need all of you to do and yes the red light means that it is the red ranger's child."
"What are we protecting the baby from exactly?" Asked the original yellow ranger.
"Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Machine Empire, the list goes on and on."
"When do we tell Tommy and Adam about their baby? They don't know about it yet do they?" Asked Jason.
"Today after school I want you to bring them here and we will tell them. Now it is time for all of you to go to school. Remember not to tell them about the baby. It is too dangerous for them to find out at school. They won't believe you and it could cause problems. Try to keep Adam in your sight all day though. I know Tommy can protect him with his eyes closed but he doesn't know about the baby yet and he won't be around Adam all day. Keep Adam safe. It wouldn't surprise me if the Machine Empire or Rita Repulsa try to take him now. They will try to snatch now because he doesn't know that he is with child and he will not try to protect himself from being kidnapped he will just think he was fighting them off. Now good luck rangers and please don't let anything happen to him." And with that, Zordon gestured for them to go to school before they were late.
Once the rangers' teleported to Angel Grove High they began to search for the newly engaged couple.

Adam woke up very comfortable the next morning. His head was resting on Tommy's chest and Tommy's arms were wrapped protectively around him. Adam smiled and looked up to see Tommy's chocolate brown eyes staring back at him.
"Hey babe," Said Tommy.
Adam buried his head into Tommy's chest again and answered with a muffled, "Hi."
"It's time to get up, baby."
"I won't be able to walk." Adam moaned.
Tommy laughed, "Why not?"
"I've heard stories from people saying that it hurts for a little while after the first time and now I am afraid to move."
"Oh I see. Well come on I will carry you." Tommy said.
"Okay," Adam said sitting up.
He immediately stopped moving, though, when he felt a sharp pain shoot up his spine. Tommy noticed the pained expression on Adam's face and he gently touched Adam's arm.
"Are you okay? What is wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing it just hurts." Adam said taking a deep breath and gently get of the bed.
It still hurt to walk but the pain turned into a dull ache. Tommy followed Adam to the bathroom, walking behind him to make sure that if Adam were to fall, he would be right there to catch him.
"Do you think anyone would find out what we did last night?" Adam asked when they got into the shower.
Tommy got a questionable look on his face. "What? How would they know we did it last night?"
Adam started to rub shampoo into Tommy's hair.
"Well it's kind of hard to walk and I keep limping. What if they think that I'm some sort of whore. I love you Tommy but I am scared of what they would say about me if anyone found out we started to sleep together. I mean I am only seventeen and you are eighteen." Tommy put a finger to Adam's lips to silence him.
"It doesn't matter. Lots of kids get engaged during their senior year of high school. Anyways we only have a week left of school before we graduate and I can take you away from your horrible parents and we can live together in my apartment."
"I love you Tommy." Adam said softly turning off the water.
"I love you more than anything in the world Adam." Tommy smiled as he leaned down and pecked his lover's lips. Tommy picked Adam up and carried him out of the shower.
"Ahhhhh. Tommy, put me down I can still walk." Adam shrieked.
"No I like carrying you. You're so light and small and I love having you in my arms. I don't ever want you to leave them."
Tommy reached over to grab a towel and handed it to Adam. It was a little hard to balance Adam with only one arm but he managed it pretty well. Adam dried himself off and once he was done Tommy walked them back to the bedroom and threw his precious green ranger on the bed and climbed on top of him. Tommy pinned Adam down easily and began trailing kisses down Adam's naked body. All of a sudden there was a knock on Adam's door.
"Adam we are leaving for our cruise, are you ready for school?" Came his father's voice through the closed door.
Adam's eyes widened and Tommy jumped off the bed and hid on the other side that was not facing the door. Adam jumped up grabbing his towel.
"Umm okay dad. I will see you later then and yeah I am just getting dressed.." Adam said wrapping the towel around his waist.
All of a sudden the door opened and his dad came in.
"What time Tommy leave last night? I didn't see him and you know how I feel about your boyfriend coming over at night. I want to know when he leaves Adam, you are only seventeen and you are both to young to have sex, so please don't. Your mother and I love you very much and we don't want you to make any mistakes." Adam's dad said.
"Tommy isn't a mistake dad. He is amazing and I love him. You guys need to go or you will miss your cruise. I will be fine."
"Alright Adam I guess we will see you in a week then. I hope you have fun having your own house for a week and no parties." Mr. Park said smiling, knowing that his son would never have a party without their permission."
"I won't dad. I love you and I hope you and mom have a good time in Hawaii."
"I will I bet our sex life couldn't be better."
"Oh my god dad I did not need to know that. I will see you guys later." Adam said trying to keep his face straight. He did not need to know about his parent's sex life.
"I love you son never forget that. And don't have sex with Tommy. Wait until you guys are married. Believe me it is worth waiting. So tell Tommy I said hi and I should go now because we are going to be late." And with that Adam's father left the room.
Adam followed his father down the stairs to make sure they left and once he was positive they weren't coming back he ran back up the stairs to find Tommy dressed and brushing his teeth.
Adam took off his towel and started to get dressed sad that his father ruined their moment together.
Tommy spit out his mouthwash and walked over to Adam and put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey it's okay. Think about it, we now have a whole week to be together without having to worry about them walking in on us."
Adam smiled and looked up at Tommy. "I know. It's just I feel so guilty whenever they look at me. Like I know that they love me and trust me with their life, but I just hate knowing that if they found out that I broke their one rule, of not sleeping with you until we are married, they would be so disappointed with me and they would never trust me again."
Tommy kissed him. "I told you, you are mine and I won't ever let anything happen to you and I will be with you for everything. You won't ever have to worry about upsetting them again and we will be together without having to worry because today we are going to tell everyone about our engagement right? And when your parents come back we will tell them together."
"Right." Adam said kissing his fiancé.
"Now if we don't leave now we are going to be late, so let's go." Tommy said.
"Are we taking my car?" Adam asked.
"Yeah I kinda had a feeling that I might stay the night so I didn't take my car just in case we slept in like we did."
"Okay well let's go." Adam said getting his keys of his nightstand and walking hand in hand with Tommy to the garage.
"Wow I can't wait until we move in together. I am going to get you a new car." Tommy said, eyeing the beat up bug.
"What kind of car are you going to get me?" The green ranger asked.
"I was thinking of an Expedition. They are bigger and I was kind of hoping we could adopt once we were married. I really want a family." Tommy said looking at his lover with hopeful eyes.
"I wish we could have our own baby Tommy."
"I do too."
"It could have your beautiful chocolate brown eyes and my curly hair."

"Alright we need to think of a plan. Do any of you have all of the same classes as Adam?" Kimberly asked.
"Yeah, I do. I copied his schedule so he could tutor me and so he could have at least one friend in each of his classes." Said Rocky.
"Alright good. Don't take your eyes off of him for a second. Alright who here has at least one class with him?"
And together they came up with a good plan that could insure that nothing could happen to Adam. Since Kimberly, Aisha, Jason, Trini, Zack, and Billy didn't go to that school or in Billy's case, have any classes with Adam, they all agreed to stakeout the school and visit old teachers. Billy would just keep an eye out for anything suspicious in between classes.
They only had to wait about five more minutes before Adam and Tommy drove up in Adam's car.
"Hey guys," Both boys called out to their friends.
"Hi." Everyone said pretending to not notice the ring on Adam's finger.
It was when they got closer that Adam and Tommy noticed that their other friends were there too.
"Aisha?" Adam shouted and hugged his best girl friend since elementary school.
"Jase? Kim?" Tommy shouted clapping Jason on the back and hugging Kimberly.
"What are you guys doing here?" Asked both Adam and Tommy at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other, they had forgotten to come up with an excuse for them being there. Thankfully the bell for them to go to class rang and everyone had to go. Their friends promised to tell Tommy and Adam why they were there after school ended.
All day long Adam couldn't shake the feeling that multiple eyes were watching him but he waited until school ended to tell anyone.
"Tommy, I think someone is fallowing me. I keep getting this feeling that I am being watched. Do you think the machine empire sent someone after me."
Tommy brought Adam close and looked around. He didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but just then their friends came over and invited them to the park and he told Adam to just let it go and that he would take care of him.
Once everyone was at the park, Trini told Tommy and Adam why they had decided to visit.
"So Kim and I were talking on the phone last week and all of a sudden we started talking about how much we missed being rangers and well mostly you guys so we decided that we should come and surprise you guys by coming to visit. I invited Jason and Zack and Kim invited Aisha. So are you guys happy to see us?" She asked.
"Heck yeah," Tommy said hugging everyone this time.
They all talked for a few minutes, catching up on good times.
Adam looked at Tommy to see if he wanted to tell the others about their engagement. Tommy nodded.
"Guys umm, before we talk about anything else, me and Tommy want to tell you guys something." Adam looked over to Tommy, who nodded in encouragement.
"Um… well, you see, we have been together for about a year now and we just got engaged." Adam said holding up his ring. Everyone pretended to look shocked.
"Oh my gosh congratulations guys. I am so happy for you!" Shouted Aisha.
"Yeah and your ring is beautiful Adam," Said Kimberly softly.
Out of nowhere a putty jumped out and grabbed Adam. It scared him so he screamed and tried to get it to let go of him but the putty started to drag him away and he lost balance. The other rangers stood up and grabbed Adam away from the putty while Tommy got rid of it. Suddenly dozens more came out of nowhere. Then to make things worse a whole bunch of cogs showed up as well. And if things could get better they didn't, Rito and Goldar showed up to join the party. All of them began to run towards the rangers and started to grab at Adam. So all of the ranger who knew what was happening circled around Adam and told Tommy to teleport himself and Adam away while they fought off the bad guys, while they started to fight off the putties, cogs, Rito, and Goldar.
More and more monsters and robots began appearing and the rangers were having a hard time keeping them away from Adam. He helped fight them off, not understanding why they were trying to keep them away from him. He knew perfectly well how to fight off some putties and cogs by himself. Tommy was confused to and didn't take Adam and himself away because the others needed help. Finally both Goldar and Rito grabbed Adam and were so close to teleporting themselves and Adam away before Jason grabbed Adam around the waste and pulled him away and Rocky started to attack both of them at once.
Time seemed to stop when that happened. Everyone watched as the two men saved Adam from the most horrible fate.
Tommy stopped fighting off the three cogs he was facing, he ran over to Adam and grabbed him, and he teleported them away before anyone said anything or even reacted to what had just happened.
Everyone stared at each other in shock and grabbed a friend who didn't have a communicator, and teleported themselves away just leaving the enemy in the park. When they arrived at the Command Center, the first thing they heard was:
"What the hell just happened back there." Tommy screamed at Zordon holding Adam close to his chest. Adam was just to shocked, that he almost got kidnapped, for words.
