Chapter 4: Two Years Later
Alejandro rolled out of the way from a kick to the head and he did a back flip when a blast was aimed at him. "SPIRAL SABER BOOSTER MODE!" He shouted. He rolled out of the way again. "FIRE!" He shouted. He fired at a Quantron and he stood up.
"Stop simulation," Zendrix instructed.
Alejandro pulled off his helmet and a smile came across his face. "Zendrix, long time no see around here," he commented. Zendrix chuckled and he shook his hand.
"Things have been hectic," Zendrix answered.
"How's Loraya?" Alejandro asked.
"She's good."
Alejandro smiled as he walked with the Silver Ranger through the halls. "Oh and she's pregnant," he added.
"No she's not," Alejandro answered.
"Yep, three months."
Alejandro laughed. "You of all people would be the last person I can imagine being a father," he commented. Zendrix shrugged.
"I think I can handle it," he answered.
Alejandro smiled as they walked down the hall. "Loraya wants to name it Zhane if it's a boy," he commented.
"What do you say to that?" He asked.
"Normally if it's anyone else's kid I'd say go for it, but this is my kid we're talking about here."
Alejandro laughed. "So, what about you and Kerilsa?" He asked. Alejandro sighed and shook his head.
"We don't think a baby is a good idea right now," he replied.
"How is her dad taking it that she was chosen by a Ranger?" Zendrix asked.
"Hey, he approved our relationship at the beginning."
"Good point."
(Alejandro's Office)
Alejandro was looking over mission reports when there was a knock on his door. "Come in," he answered. Kerilsa came in. Her once chin-length blonde hair was now down to her shoulders.
"Alejandro…" she started.
Alejandro looked up. "Oh hey, Kerilsa," he answered. Kerilsa pushed her hair behind her ear.
"Alejandro…something's happened," she informed.
Alejandro stood up. "Are you okay? Is everything alright?" He asked worriedly.
"Yeah, yeah, everything's fine," she replied.
"Then…what is it?" He asked.
Kerilsa bit her lip. "I--I'm pregnant," she replied. Alejandro looked at her in disbelief.
"Are you serious?" He asked.
She nodded her head slowly. "How far along?" He asked.
"A month," she replied.
"You mean after that night after you were named Senator?" He asked.
She nodded her head slowly. "Damn it," he cursed. Kerilsa sighed and she leaned back against the wall. "Your dad's going to kill me you know that right?" He asked. Kerilsa sighed again and she pushed her hair out of her face.
"What do we do?" She asked.
"What do you want to do?" He asked.
Kerilsa sat down. "I just started my political career," she replied. Alejandro sat down in his chair and he rubbed his forehead. "Maybe…we should give it up…" she suggested. Alejandro sighed and he tilted his head back.
"We can't do that," he answered.
She nodded her head slowly. "Yeah you're right," she agreed. She placed a hand on her stomach.
"I think we should keep it then," he told her.
He stood up. "We could benefit from this," he commented. Kerilsa nodded her head slowly. "I mean…I'd get my heir to my morpher," he pointed out.
"Or someone to take over political office," she put in.
Alejandro rolled his eyes. "Next step is telling your father," he commented.
(Kelron's House)
Alejandro winced when Kelron pushed him up against the wall. "FATHER!" Kerilsa shouted.
"Just couldn't wait a year could you?! I took you in after you father died and this is how you repay me!" He snapped.
Alejandro held onto Kelron's wrist, feeling his grip tighten around his throat. "You listen to me boy…BOTH OF YOU! This pregnancy will be hidden as well as the baby once he or she is born! I will not have my daughter get kicked out of office when she just got in!" He snapped.
"K--Kelron…if…if you would j--just let me--explain…" Alejandro gagged.
"FATHER!" Kerilsa shouted.
She jumped up and she grabbed onto Kelron's arm. "Father let him go!" Kerilsa insisted. Alejandro held his throat when Kelron let him drop. "Father. My political career won't be over," she assured him. Kelron looked at her. "We weren't expecting this either," she pointed out. Alejandro stood up and Kerilsa held his hand. "You okay?" She asked.
"Yeah," he replied.
Kelron sighed. "You two have it planned?" He asked. Alejandro nodded his head slowly.
"Yes," she replied.
Kerilsa placed a hand on her still flat stomach. "This will be interesting to see….you keep your work up," he instructed.
"We will," Alejandro answered.
Kerilsa nodded her head slowly. "Yes," she agreed.
