"Fun…I loved those little dinosaurs back then…they are even better now," Tommy said with a laugh as Kim landed on the ground with a thump.

"Just shut up," Kim muttered as he pulled her up and they continued on. "I would think that we wouldn't have to go through this if our intent was to give back our powers."

"Yeah, but it'll be all right, hopefully they'll just let us through on the way back when they sense that we have taken nothing from them anymore," Tommy said as Kim smiled. He certainly knew how to calm her, even when things had gone bad for her and right now she was not very sure of herself. The news that she was pregnant was something that she had not expected, although her luck with Tommy was pretty much that they were going to be pregnant after they had sex. She just should have known better than to allow it to happen again.

"I'm just afraid that I can't go through this again," Kim whispered as Tommy grabbed her hand and gently tugged her along.

"You won't be alone Kim, I promise you that," Tommy said as he kissed her cheek and then gave her a hug. "I've chosen you now and I'm not changing my mind. We just have to make it back and then we'll go from there."

"That'll be easier said than done Tommy," Kim said as he looked down at her.

"Don't be a pessimist today, be one tomorrow when we're back home," Tommy said with a smile as she just shook her head.

"I hope you're right and this will only take one day," Kim said as Tommy nodded his head in agreement. He desperately wanted to get back to their child and back to trying to make themselves into a family, because ever since he had found out about this they had been trying. However, they had been going through hell to just attempt to be together.

"Trust me," Tommy said as Kim smiled and they then looked at the miles left to go. "Come on, if we stop it'll only make it worse when we finally get there."

"I'm not sure that it can be much worse than facing those goons," Kim said as Tommy let out a groan. He had managed to block out the rock gang from his memory. There had been a couple of things that had almost happened that he had definitely blocked from his memory. Being a ranger had scarred him for life in some respects and there were times that he had no choice but to forget, so that he could move on with his life.

"We just have to get to the temple and return the powers, it's not like we're trying to take anything from this time," Tommy said as Kim looked over at him.

"Yeah, but that didn't stop bone head here," Kim said nodding to the piles of bones left behind them. They had definitely thought that they would not have this problem again, but maybe the temple would not be as bad. At least, that was what they hoped.


Several hours later as they walked up to the temple, the both of them stared that the stone guardians wondering what they should do. They had no idea how to give back the power and they both sincerely doubted that they could do it easily. As one of the stone statues moved, Kim grasped for Tommy's hand and he gave hers a reassuring squeeze. They both knew that the pain was going to start soon, or so they thought.

"You must journey inside the temple, there will be enough energy to bring you back to the summit once you have disbanded," the statue said as Kim and Tommy stared at him as the stone wall raised itself once again and they both walked into the chamber that they had only seen for a brief moment when they received these precious powers which had saved Zordon, but were likely to cost them their lives if they kept them much longer.

The moment that the solid stone wall closed behind them, Kimberly collapsed to her knees and Tommy quickly squatted down next to her, trying to figure out what has happening. He could feel it as well, but obviously this was much worse for her and he could not help but think of the baby as she let out a moan.

"Don't leave me, Tommy," Kim whispered as he barely nodded his head. He had had no intentions of doing any such thing, but the desperation in her voice made him know that he could not, under any circumstances, leave her. "I'm so sorry."

"What for?" Tommy asked as he moved her further into the cave, away from the demented stone wall.

"The baby's not going to make it," Kim whispered as she pressed her face into his neck and let out a gut-wrenching sob. "It feels just like before."
"Shh…everything is going to be just fine, it's just the powers being taken away, sweetheart," Tommy whispered as she just shook her head. She knew her body and she knew that right now it was betraying her in the worst way possible. She could not believe that she was having another miscarriage and this time with Tommy so close by. Her belief had been that the first time was because of their distance and the stress, now she could only blame it on the stress. "It's okay, are you comfortable enough?"

"I'm fine, just cramping," Kim murmured as he shifted himself behind her and leaned her body back into his. "Tommy…"

"Don't, Kimberly…I can barely concentrate as it is…this is no fun," Tommy said, as he had never fully lost this set of powers, although so many others had come and gone throughout the years of service. "Just stay with me."

"I'll try," Kim muttered before she felt herself faint and Tommy soon followed behind her.
