Chapter Ten

Three months had passed since Emily had found out she was pregnant. The war with the Nighloks was over. It was now January. The wedding of Jayden and Emily was to take place on Valentines Day. Everything had been planned out. For groomsmen, Jake would have Kevin, Mike, Wesley and Jake at his side. For Bridesmaids, Emily had Mia as Maid of Honor, and a few of her cousins. Marie, Emily's mother, would not be attending. Emily had made sure of that.

Emily was now five months pregnant, and was really showing. She was also very moody. One time at dinner, which she had cooked, Mike had made a funny comment about Emily's cooking. "Emily, you have turned mere vegetables into an amazing salad, and turned this cold beef into a wonderful roast." he had told her. She just looked at him with a straight face. "Then shut up and eat." she had replied. Mike looked shocked, that sweet Emily had said something like that. Looking at Jayden for help, Mike didn't get any. "Hey, she made me sleep on the couch last night." Jayden told him. Kevin piped up. "Yeah, it was hard to watch any TV this morning because Jayden wouldn't get the hell off the couch." The Rangers for some reason, still decided to live at the Mansion for the time being. They all looked for apartments, but so far, had had no luck.

Jake and Mia were still going strong. Deciding that they had wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, Jake had decided to propose to her. He was waiting for the perfect time to do so. Kevin, Mike, and Wesley had all finally found girlfriends. Kevin was dating a librarian named Monica, and they had been together for two months. Mike had began dating a girl named Felicia, and they had been dating for almost three months. Finally Wesley had found a girl named Olivia, and they had been together for two weeks. Ji had found all this out, and was in denial. "Please no more kissing, or playing what you young folk call tonsil hockey in the Mansion." he had told them one day.

Emily's due date was May 21st. She had found out she was going to have a girl. Her name would be Serena Danielle, after her sister. Excited, Emily and Mia had bought a ton of clothing. There was a ton of red clothing for this new baby. Jake had offered time and time again to give back the Yellow Samuraizer. "Seriously Emily. Take it. Mia and I can handle the Pink Samurai powers for our kids." he had told her. Emily was in a bad mood at the time, due to cramps, and wedding stress. "Jacob Allen Locke. I swear if you say ANYTHING about giving me back the Yellow Samuraizer again, I WILL beat you." she said. Knowing she actually meant it, Jake said nothing more on the subject.

Jake and Mia were out and about on a chilly day, looking at apartments. They had seen two so far, and hadn't really liked them. Mia sighed. "I have a feeling we are going to live in the Mansion for the rest of our lives." she said bitterly. Jake smiled. "I'll live anywhere, as long as you're there right beside me." he told her. She turned around and smiled, but then was in shock to see him on one knee. "Mia. It has been a wonderful three months, and I can see that we are just in as much love as Emily and Jayden are. Will you marry me?" he asked her. Mia started crying. "Yes, I will." she said. He pulled out her engagement ring, it was a silver ring with several diamonds in a row. He put it on her finger, and they kissed.

Back at the Mansion, Jayden, and the others were watching TV. Ji was cooking dinner, and Emily was laying down. "So Jayden, a few weeks away from being a married man. How does it feel." Mike asked. Jayden smiled. "It feels good. She is going to help me continue something I thought I would never have." he said. 'And what would that be?" Wesley asked. "A true family. You all, Mia, Jake, Emily, and Ji are my family. She is going to be part of my true family now. I just hope my daughter doesn't grow up like I did." Jayden said. Mia and Jake walked into the room. "Hey guys, what's up?" Kevin asked. Mia beamed. "Jake and I are engaged." she said. There were cheers all around. Emily walked out of her room and into the living room. "What's going on?" she asked. Mia showed Emily her ring. "Oh my goodness! Congratulations!" she said.

Mia was extremely happy. "I'm going to make dinner!" she said. "Ji already has it." Jayden told her. Mia's face fell. "OK." she said. Ji came out of the kitchen. "What's all the commotion?" he asked. "Jake and I are engaged!" Mia explained happily. Ji hugged her, and shook Jake's hand. "Congratulations! Dinner is now ready. We're having chicken stir fry." He told them.

They all sat down, and began eating. "So what do you guys have planned so far?" Emily asked Mia. "Not much. All we know is that there's going to be pink and yellow flowers." Mia told her. "Oh, and my Pink Samuraizer is going to my little sister. Since Jake has the Yellow Samuraizer." she added. "That's good. If you want I can help you get yours planned since you helped me." Emily offered. Mia smiled at her friend. "I would love that. Just please don't overwork yourself." she told Emily. "I won't." Emily promised

A month had passed it was February 13th. It was on a late Friday night. They all had gone through the rehearsal wedding. Marie had showed up drunk at the beginning. "It's my daughters wedding! I should be here!" she yelled. Jake's mother, Mary, had given Marie a few choice words, and Jake, being a licensed Security Guard in the state of California, managed to throw her out, and called the cops.

Jake finally saw his parents for the first time in months after they had moved. He introduced them to Mia, and filled them in on his life from temporary to permanent Yellow Ranger.

Soon, the boys departed for Jayden's bachelor party, which involved going to the arcade (which had been rented out for that night.) The girls were going to a movie, and then back to the mansion for a small baby shower for Emily's bachelorette party.

The two then realized, tomorrow would be the biggest day of their lives. Could they handle it?
