Chapter 4

Her day-dreamings were interrupted by the parking screeches of a silver sports car, a vehicle she recognized all too well.

A blonde male in grey shirt and jeans stepped out, and headed towards the door of the passenger seat and opened the door. Ashley saw a hand take Zhane's and she realized that it was none other than a slightly pregnant Karone. They had told Andros and her they were expecting right before she left, and Ashley couldn't be any happier for the couple, for everyone knew they deserved it more than anyone.

"That was only a little more than 3 and half months ago…" a voice in her head reminded her, "and she's already showing!" she added with a smile that reached from ear to ear.

Her relationship with Zhane just grew during the time they were serving as rangers and only developed after, especially these past few years when her relationship with Andros became intensified. She thought of him as not only a team-mate, but as a friend and more importantly a brother. Granted it was the same with Karone. Both adored the fact of having an actual sister figure in their lives, most especially for the young Karovan woman whom was clothed in a light purple wife-beater top and jeans.

The former purple ranger smiled at her husband of almost 4 years, unaware an old friend was near by, just a short distance away.

"Zhane, I'm fine," giggled Karone as she took Zhane's hand into the café.

"Are you sure? But—you told me—hey! Was that just one of those weird hormonal cravings?" he questioned, a confused look drawing across his face.

Karone had to blush at the remark and retorted, "But you're so cute when you act like this. I'm sorry I couldn't help it and who can blame a wife for wanting to mess around with her husband?" then she added with a grin, "And uhh… besides, Cassie called me and she wanted to have dinner...so stop complaining and come on!"

"Very funny," and with that he carefully grabbed her waist before she could enter and whispered to her ear, "you could have said so."

"Alright I'm sorry," she pouted at him.

He laughed and said ever so gently, "Nothing to be sorry for…and besides, you know you always win…" he drifted off.

She wrapped her petit, yet strong arms around his neck and on her tiptoes, reached up to place a sweet kiss on his nose and giggled, "Just be happy, this is just the beginning. You have yet to experience the real wrath of your beloved pregnant wife…what you endured when I was Astronema won't compare to what I have in store for you… let's see…"

Still clinging onto him, she grinned and added, "…there's the real bad food cravings, really late night morning calls, really bad mood swings, at my beck and call for, oh,5 more months, maybe more…"

"Alright, alright," Zhane replied with a smile appearing on his own face. "You win, princess."

He placed a soft kiss on her light pink gloss covered lips and took her left hand and gazed for a minute at the silver band that rested on her French manicured wedding finger.

"Come on, the others are waiting."

He nodded and led her through the door, but was stopped when she told him she had forgotten her purse in the car.

"You go ahead and meet up with the others, I'll be right in," she assured Zhane.

He just nodded at her request and gave her the keys to the parked car.

As she walked towards the silver vehicle, she pressed the unlock button to open the door to the passenger side. She loved the smell of their car. It always smelled of the scent of her husband, a scent whichonly he woreand the scent which she grew to recognize from a mile away.

Before leaving, she rested her right hand upon her slightly swollen stomach and thought about the child she and Zhane created together with all the love they felt for each other.

"You're our little miracle child from above…" she whispered to herself a single tear escaping her eye.

After getting herself together, she pressed the lock button, but before she could turn and walk towards the entrance to the café, she heard a voice that was all too familiar.

"Oh my…"

A/N: Hope you guys liked it! I'll try my best to update faster. Hope you guys weren't too let down with this chapter…I know there's not much Ashley and Andros in it, but I wanted to establish the relationship between Zhane and Karone first to see how that works out. I honestly have no idea what I' doing but I guess it works:P
