I want to apoligize for the long wait..real life got in the way.

This chapter is for all you Ashley/Andros fans! Enjoy!

You all know what is ours and what isn't.

Please read and review!

It was 6 o clock in the morning when Andros woke up. Though their bedroom had no windows in it, he knew it was still dark out…his job as the Karovean ambassador to Earth he was used to being up early…taking inspace messages from his home planet…but this morning, he wasn't planning to go anywhere…until his son invaded their bedroom that is.

Tristan was a brave little guy…just the night before, he had finally faced his fears of the space monsters…Andros had wondered how long it would take him to face the space monsters….

*flashback*

He had just tucked his son in for the night after helping him take a bath. And as he'd tucked the five year old in, he'd noticed the toy replica of his sidearm blaster laying next to his space bear Mokey.

"Tristan, what's the gun for?" he'd asked with a chuckle.

His son had looked at him soberly. "The space mosters…if they come back after you leave, I'll be weady for him….I don't want to be afraid of him no more…I'm a big boy."

Andros smothered a chuckle. "Yes you are." This was a change for his son. He'd been scared of the space monsters since he was 2. It was the main reason why Andros avoided having sex with his wife at night…in case their son came looking for them unable to sleep. Which had happened several times…till now...he hoped.

"Um…could you look for them just in case?" his son asked a moment later.

Andros chuckled again…then he got an idea…putting a serious look on his face he crouched down by his son's bed.

"Hey Tristan?"

"Yeah dad?"

"I forgot my gun will you help me?"

"M'kay." he said getting out of his bed holding his gun out defensively walking to his side.

Andros smiled at his son. "I'll be right behind you."

Tristan was all business now as he walked into the closet still holding his gun out in front of him…ready to shoot any space monsters that came at him.

"Any space mosters here? Show youselfs...or I'll shoot you!"

The red space ranger grinned as his son walked further into the closet.

"I not kidding! I got a gun just like my dad's! I'll blow you head off!"

Andros stood back forcing himself not to laugh at his son. "I think you scared them off buddy."

Tristan did one more sweep of the closet before nodding and turned back to his dad. "Now the toy box."

"Go ahead."

Tristan walked to the toy chest and opened the lid pointing the gun into the box. "Any mosters in here? I'm not 'fraid of you anymore....I don't want to see you in here anymore.…"

Andros watched him a second longer before getting down on one knee. "I think they are gone buddy."

"Good...I scared them off!"

"You ready for bed now?" he asked as his son walked to him hugging him tight. "I did it dad! Just like you and mom! those mosters won't be bothering me anymore!"

Andros held him tight as he scooped him up in his arms. "Good job! You ready for bed now?"

"Yeah, I'm ready to seep now...and Mokey's tired too .Tristan said as he carried him to the bed laying him down again and tucking him in.

"Love you dad." he said as Andros pulled the covers over him.

"I love you too."

*end flashback*

Thanks to his son's courage and that little sidearm Zhane had gotten him for his 5th birthday, Andros had finally gotten to make love to his wife, without fear of his son barging in on them.

*flashback*

He'd walked back in to see his wife fresh out of the shower in nothing but her bathrobe…she'd never looked sexier.

He grinned looking her over…damn.

"Your one hot momma." he said getting her attention.

Ashley looked up smiling at him. "That's a new one." she said walking over to him. "Tristan's asleep?"

"It was an observation, Ash. And yes he fell asleep after scaring the monsters away with his space blaster."

Ashley kissed him softly wrapping her arms around his neck and he responded wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her closer as he deepened the kiss nipping at her bottom lip.

As Ashley open for him he explored her mouth giving into the mood that was overtaking him as he gently pushed her down on to their bed.

Finally breaking the kiss, he smiled down at her and pulled at the belt that held her robe on, pushing it from her shoulders…he felt his arrousal grow as he took in the sight of her…she looked so soft…he grinned as he saw the damp spot between her legs.

He smiled at her and noticed her darkened gaze as he cupped her intimately…he was certainly enjoy making love to her tonight…he pushed a finger into her gently teasing her…

Ahsley bucked her hips at his touch.

"Mmmm…Andros." she whispered as he smiled at her.

"That feel good Ash?"

In response she pushed against his fingers…that was answer enough and he added another finger and then another till she was shaking with pleasure.

And when he crooked his fingers, she came hard…screaming out his name.

When she came back down he withdrew his fingers and smiled at her.

"Its been way too long since we did this." she said as he stroked her hip.

Andros was quiet for a moment as he gazed lovingly at his wife "Look at what it got us, a son I wouldn't trade for the world."

Ashley smiled at the thought of their amazing offspring and sat up to gaze at her husband. "He's a brave boy just like you…I love you."

Andros was off in his own little world. "I love you too." he said as he absentmindedly stroked her inner thigh.

Ashley smiled at his dreamy gaze and covered his hand with her own. "I love it when you do that." she said in a soft voice.

That seemed to bring him out of his thoughts and he squeezed her hand bringing it up to kiss it.

Ashely looked back at him adoringly and stroked his face gently.

Andros copied her movements. "You're the universe to me."

"Andros...what's on your mind?"

"What do you mean?"

"You had that dreamy look on your face a second ago."

Andros was quiet again.

"What is it?"

Andros hesitated. "Ever thought of having another child?"

"Yeah, of course I have."

"Would you like to have another?"

Ashley bit her lip. "It would be nice....to have a daughter of our own

"We were just so busy with killing off that Demetrius guy that I never got around to bringing it up with you."

"Well, now that he's gone, would you like to try again?"

Ashley smiled and leaned forward kissing him passionately and then shivered feeling him caress her again…touching her everwhere…and then when he crawled on top of her she gently bucked her hips against him and pulled his hair gently out of the ponytail and let it fall around his head.

"You're wearing way too many clothes."

He could feel his control slipping when he felt her pulling at his waistband. He kissed her hotly at her words then got out of the bed making quick work of his clothes.

He wasn't really sure what happened after that…just the hot needy love they made…she had felt so tight and warm..and good…especially when she;d wrapped her legs around his waist pushing him in deeper then he could ever remember going…and when he'd exploded inside of her he could just barely remember screaming out her name at the top of his lungs…but it was drowned out by her screams…begging him for more….and that was what caused him to keep taking her…again and again till they were both exhausted…and had collapsed against each other.

*end flashback*

Andros could feel himself becomming arroused again as the thought of al the love they had made the night before...it was the most intense love they had ever made, not even their honeymoon had been that good...

"Mmm…Andros?" his wife said stirring gently next to him…just that small movement made him want to take her all over again…but he knew better…his son was liable to wake up any moment…

He grinned softly at his wife and kissed her.

"Morning."

Ashley lifted her head and kissed him back. "Morning."

"Did you sleep good?" If she'd tossed and turned all night, he would have not noticed…in truth, they'd worn each other out…

"Mmmhmmm. I did." and then her lips captured his in a smoldering kiss….one which he gladly returned. His hands wandered south again…touching her intimately….

And then…..

A series of musical beeps sounded through the door.

Andros groaned and lay back on the bed.

Ashley laughed softly and and kissed him again before getting up and throwing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.

The beeps beeped again and the red astro ranger groaned again before rushing to make himself decent for whom ever was on the other side of the door.

Sitting back on the bed Andros watched as Ashley went to the door and pressed a button…and there he was…

"Tristan? What are you doing up so early?" Andros asked in surprise.

"It's Christmas Eve day, dad!"

Andros smothered the sigh as his son crawled up on the bed sitting in his lap.

"I know…Santa comes tonight…but couldn't you have waited to tell us that till later?"

Tristan looked down at his lap. "Um…yes."

Andros hugged his son closer. "I'm sorry buddy, I'm not mad at you…I forgot how exciting it is to be a kid. Have you been good this year?"

Tristan nodded and then a moment later his face brightened up again. "Dad, I made Mokey float around my room!"

Andros looked at his wife in surprise before looking at his son again.

"Show me."

Tristan grinned widely before pointing his fingers like his dad had shown him at the communicator on the dresser and a second later it was floating midair.

Not wanting to distract his son he whispered softly in his ear. "Can you make it come over here?"

Ashley watched in amusement as her little boy stuck his tongue out of his mouth in concentration…and made it float towards them until Andros plucked it out of the air.

A second later she joined her husband in hugging their son.

They stayed like that a few moments later till…

"Ugh…I can't breathe…and um…need to use the bafroom."

Ashley chucked kissing her son on the cheek and then her son scrambled off the bed into their master bathroom and shut the door.

Andros beamed at Ashley with fatherly pride and then leaned forward kissing her…

And then the com came to life.

It was Carlos.

"Andros, there's an incoming message on a coded frequency…it's marked urgent."

"I'm on my way."

Sighing, he got up slipping into his more decent clothing and walked to the bridge.

Carlos was sitting in the chair next to the main helm when he came in but moved aside when Andros came in.

He looked at the source of the message…it came from the Phantom Cruiser.

The mysterious ranger never contacted anyone these days.

It had to be urgent.

After tapping in his password, a hologram of the Phantom Ranger appeared in front of him.

"Andros of KO-35 this is the Phantom Ranger…I am sending this message in hopes that you will pass this on to the terran rangers. A few months ago, I intercepted a strange transmission coming from the lost galaxy. The scientists on Mirinoi have managed to decode it. It comes from a hybrid war lord who goes by the name of Grifforzer. He is the offspring of Goldar and Scorpina. He has sworn vengeance on the rangers of Earth for the death of his father."

Andros' breath hitched in his throat.

"Please warn the rangers of earth."

The hologram ended and Andros slumped in his chair having gone really pale…he barely heard Carlos run out the door.

The rangers were in big trouble…

Just a brief note before we get a bunch of flames....in the Super Senti series Goldar and Scorpina did have a child...if you really want to see for yourself...send me an emil.

Otherwise, w hope you all enjoyed this chapter.

And a free virtual choclate bar to anyone who knows where I got the name for Tristan's teddybear. Here's a hint...80's television.

Next up....some more fluff on Christmas Eve day...see you all then!

(one more thing....does any one want to make a video trailer for Back To Action?)
