Chapter Nine
The Rangers all sat around in shock. Jayden was the first to speak up. "Are you sure she's pregnant?" he asked. The doctor nodded. "Yes. She is pregnant." he said before walking out of the room. Jake gave Jayden a death glare. "Guy's how could this happen?" Mike asked. Kevin nodded. "You guys should have used protection." he put in. Emily teared up. "We did though!" she cried. Jake was still glaring. "Let's get back to the Mansion." he said, rather coldly. The doctor released Emily, and reminded her to drink more fluids.
The seven of them made it back to the Mansion, where Ji greeted them "Ah Emily, good to know you're safe." he told her, hugging her. "Thank you Ji." she told him. Jake looked at Jayden. "Jayden can I talk to outside?" Jake asked. Jayden looked at him. "Sure." he said. The two went outside. "Jake, look. I understand you're upset with me." Jayden told him. Jake turned around and punched Jayden in the face. "I don't mind you marrying my cousin, but you impregnated her?" he bellowed. Jayden got up just as the others ran outside. "Whoa, Jake, cool down!" Mike yelled. Both he and Kevin restrained Jake while Emily looked at Jayden. "Jake! Calm down!" Ji yelled. Jake stopped struggling against the other Rangers. He then walked into the house, and into his room. "I'm sorry about him Jayden." Emily said. Jayden shook his head. "No, don't be. I deserved it. He had every right." Jayden said.
Later that night, Jayden and Emily sat outside. The night was warm. "So while I was Xandred's prisoner, I thought about our wedding." Emily told him. Jayden smiled. "Really?, And what did you think about?" he asked her. Emily began. "Well, I'm still trying to figure out if I want it here, or in the country. I want my bridesmaids to have yellow dresses, and white flowers. No matter what though, I would like the reception to be here." she told him. Jayden was thoughtful "We'll talk to Ji and see what he says." Jayden assured her.
Jake walked outside and saw the two. "Hey, um Jayden. I'm sorry about earlier. I was out of line punching you." Jake said. Jayden smiled. "It's fine. I was actually hoping you would have done that." Jayden told him. The two shook hands. "So what are you two up to tonight?" Jake asked. "Just sitting here discussing the wedding. You?" Emily asked him. "Mia and I are going out on a date." Jake said. "Nice. Have fun." Jayden told him. Jake walked back inside. Jayden turned to Emily. "You mad at him for hitting me?" he asked her. Emily shook her head. "No, I know he was just doing it to protect me." she replied.
Getting back on topic about the wedding. "Anything you want to say about the wedding?" Emily asked. Jayden thought. "Probably red and yellow flowers for decorations, since they are our colors and all." Jayden put in. Emily was silent for a minute. "I guess Jake will have to be the permanent Yellow Ranger now." she said sadly. Jayden put his arm around her. "He may be the Yellow Ranger permanently, but you will always be our Yellow Ranger." he told her sweetly. She smiled as they kissed.
A few days later, Jake sat outside by himself. He was still troubled by what Negatron had told him, and still ashamed he had attacked his friend like he did. Emily saw him, and came out and sat next to him. "Hey, we really haven't gotten a chance to talk in awhile have we?" she asked him. "No we haven't. I'm sorry I punched Jayden." he told her. Emily laughed. "It's fine. I knew you were just trying to protect me." she told him. Jake forced a smile. Emily knew it was forced. "You're still letting what Negatron said bother you, aren't you?" she asked. Jake hung his head. "Yes." he admitted. Emily looked at him sadly. He always had a problem dwelling on things, especially insults made to him. "Jake, you know that we all accepted you to the team. You're one of us now. They wouldn't have let you continue on if they didn't like you." she told him. Jake nodded. "And Mia does love you. She told me the other day that you're the only person who can let her feel like she can be herself. She told you she's liked you since you joined. Just relax on that one." she again told him. Jake again nodded.
Emily then realized it wasn't really those two things that was bothering him. "It's the fact Negatron told you that you would never be as good as me, isn't it?" she asked. "Yes, it is." Jake told her. Emily patted him on the shoulder. "I've been kidnapped four times now, counting that Beast Nighlok. You destroyed him. You've done more for these guys than I have in the past few months. You are a better Ranger and Samurai than I will ever be." she told him. She then took a deep breath. "Jayden and I decided last night that we will keep the Red Samurai powers for our child, and you can keep the Yellow Samurai powers, and train your children with it when you have them." she said.
Jake's jaw dropped. "But they are your family's Powers." he protested. She shook her head. "Samurai Ranger tradition says that if two Samurai get married, they take the husbands powers. And its OUR family's Powers. Jayden is going to take over as Samurai Mentor when Ji retires, so both of our kids will fight along side of each other." she said. Jake smiled and hugged her. "Thank you." he told her. "Your welcome." she said.
Later on, Mia and Emily were talking about possible baby names. "If it's a boy. I want to name him Matthew. If it's a girl, I want to name her after my sister." Emily had been saying. Mia smiled. Naming her possible daughter after he older sister was a great idea. "I'm sure she would love it." Mia told her friend. Emily smiled. "I also want you to be my maid of honor." she told Mia. Mia was shocked. "I would be honored." she told Emily. Emily smiled. She knew this wedding would be an awesome one.
