Ch.25 Results
Carter and Dana went back to normal; Laura was fired quickly after her harassment to Carter. The days went by with no attacks, and the rangers searched for Demonite with little success. Dana was headed to her room after tirelessly searching through old files and new data when her name was called in the intercom. Her stomach was in knots as she heard her name and headed down to the lab. She had been feeling nauseous, and dizzy not to mention weak, but she hoped that her suspicions were wrong.
"Hi, I just got your results back." Angela said cheerfully, Dana managed to smiled back at her.
"Good."
"Here you go." Angela said handing Dana the envelope.
"Thank you." Dana smiled.
"You're welcome…I'll be in the next room if you need me." Angela said noticing Dana's lack of color as she took the envelope. Dana smiled and nodded , Angela then left Dana alone. Dana took a few seconds to gather herself and then rushed back to her room. She sat on her bed and held the unopened envelope in her hands. She took a deep breath and was about to open it when there was a knock on her door. Dana quickly put the envelope under the pillow and got up to get the door.
"Carter!" Dana said completely surprised a hint of nervousness in her voice.
"We were going to get some pizza, do you…?" Carter didn't get to finish his sentence because the color drained from her face at the thought of pizza and ran to the bathroom. She hunched over the toilet emptying out the little contents of her stomach. Carter was right behind her, and held her hair back. She finished and felt horrible, then went over to rinse her mouth, after washing her mouth she rushed back to get the envelope that was under the pillow.
"Dana, what wrong?" Carter asked worried, as Dana opened the envelope.
"No, no ,no…." Dana whispered as she saw the results.
"Dana are you o…." Carter was interrupted again as the alarms went off. Dana threw the papers on the bed and raced to the Rescue Rover, with Carter in tow. The rangers drove to the site where the first feather exploded.
"Demonite! Stay and fight!" Carter yelled as Demonite was turning to leave.
"Ah so eager red ranger, you and I will have our time, but not today!" Demonite sneered and disappeared leaving Carter infuriated. The rangers returned to the base disappointed at the lack of fight that Demonite was giving. After the meeting with Captain Mitchell Dana left before Cater had a chance to stop her. She grabbed the results from her room and drove to the cliff she and Carter shared. She sat and thought about what it all meant. Her happiness was overshadowed by the worry she felt. She got on the hood of her car and looked up at the sky, and made shapes with the stars. She was completely concentrated on the shapes above her and lost track of time. It was nearly midnight when she headed back to the base and slowly everything came back to her and the worry set in again. She arrived to the base and found that most of the days excitement had ceased, save for the occasional staff member that had the night shift. She walked through the empty halls to her room. Dana stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Carter sitting down outside her door.
"Where have you been?" Carter asked concerned in his voice.
"I needed some time to think." Dana said looking away.
"I've been so worried about you." He said getting up and going over to her. Dana evaded him and went
into her room. Dana dropped her purse and leaned against a wall, and Carter took a seat on the bed.
"Dana what's wrong?" Carter asked.
"I need to tell you something." Dana said nervously after a moment.
"You can tell me anything." Carter said moving toward her but she moved away once more.
"Sit down." Dana said and he sat back on the bed.
"Carter…" Dana said and kneeled in front of him.
"I…We…Did something and it would have been ok if Demonite hadn't shown up but now….Carter I
don't …Uhm…" Dana was mortified.
"Dana what is it?" Carter asked taking her hands in his.
"I'm pregnant, and you can't make me stop fighting because I won't the team needs me and we can't
afford…" Carter interrupted Dana's rambling with a kiss.
"I love you." He whispered hugging her tightly.
"I love you too…Carter I can't stop fighting." Dana said resolution in her voice.
"We'll figure it out, we'll talk to Angela, we'll do this together." Carter said stroking her hair as he held
her. The layed on the bed as they talked.
"We're having a baby." Dana said softly with a smile.
"Yeah and it's going to be a boy." Carter told her confidently.
"How do you know?" she asked happily.
"Because you want a boy, and you deserve to get whatever you want." Carter told her placing a kiss on
her forehead.
"What if it's a girl?" Dana asked.
"Then she'll be perfect just like you." He said holding her close.
"I love you, and you're going to be a dad." Dana said smiling her voice filled with joy.
"I love you forever and always Dana Mitchell." He said.
"Always and forever." Dana said kissing him. They fell asleep in each other's arms.
