28)

Syd was walking alone in the park as she sighed. No one except Sky was talking to her, even Sky didn't talk to her, he didn't talk much to anyone infact. Jack had come and given her a piece of his mind, Bridge, Sophie, Boom, even Kat, everyone had stopped interacting with her. She was alone. From the moment Z left SPD, Sky became even more uptight than he was ever before, he was awfully quiet and didn't pay much attention towards Syd and everything in SPD changed. And it was all because of her. She changed everything. She hated herself, she was already 8 months pregnant and Sky still thought he was the father. Tears fell from her eyes as she realized what she had become, a monster. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned back and lost her senses, because standing infront of her was Justin.

Syd's lips parted in shock as tears fell easily. Real, true tears. She had actually fallen for Justin. But when Justin left her, and she saw Sky and Z happy together, she just couldn't help but feel jealous. So jealous that it took over her completely.

And now Justin stood there staring at her, his eyes tearing up too. He took a step forward and she took a step back.

Justin then rushed towards her and hugged her tightly "Oh Syddy. I'm so sorry. I love you. Please forgive me. I got scared when you told me you were pregnant. I just... I know its no excuse but I love you and I want you back princess, I want our child back. I'll never leave you."

Syd simply cried hard in his arms listening to whatever he had to say. He then kneeled down and kissed her swollen belly as she cried.

As they sat on the bench in complete silence, with Syd resting her head on his shoulder as he caressed her belly, Justin said "I love you Sydney. I promise I'll never leave you. I missed you."

Sydney smiled and looked up to him and smashed her lips on his as she kissed him deeply. Justin cupped her face as he kissed her back.

After they broke off Syd said "I love you Justin."

He smiled as he kissed her forhead and she asked "How did you know I was here?"

Justin smiled "Your bestfriend Z called me from SPD."

Syd closed her eyes and hugged him as tears fell freely again from her eyes and guilt overtook her senses.

Sky sat on his bed thinking about Z. He knew he didn't love Syd, not like the way he used to before. And he knew that many things were hidden from him as Bridge refused to tell him the truth giving him the same crap about how it would hamper his health. Sky also couldn't figure out the many hazy images that came in his head, of different places all with the same brunette girl. And why did that girl resemble Z so much. He heard a thunder and turned to see a gray sky outside from his window. He then got up and opened the door which he assumed was a balcony but never had any interest to open it until now. As he went to the balcony, he saw a mattress with cushions and comforters. It seemed though as if it was sat on. But he never even went to the balcony then how could it look used? Not important. Shaking his head he sighed and sat down on the mattress and looked to his side and saw 4 cushions kept haphazardly. Sky smiled as he removed a cushion and arranged the leftover 3 cushions in such a way that 2 leaned on the wall and one was just kept on the mattress for the person to put it on their lap when they sat. Sky suddenly paused and thought why would he do such a thing as if almost out of practice. Then a hazy image of a brunette in her pajamas came in his head as she sat on the mattress putting two cushions behind her and one on her lap. The hazy image became clearer as he saw Z opening her long hair and shuffling a deck of cards smiling. Suddenly all the missing memories flooded back to his head. Images of Syd and her betrayal, then images of Z, in his arms in the command centre, the nights in the balcony, the playful insults, referee delgado, the ignoring, the pissed Z, the steamy kiss in the common room, the cake with the wrong message, the scrapbook, the pool kiss, the birthday party, beating the crap out of Peterson, the many million dates, the ones at the amusement park, Z in a bikini, the night they reached the next stage of their love, the many romantic situations, the booty calls, the fun in the rain, the meeting with his mom, images of Z explaining him what the concert tickets were before the crash, everything came back, unfortunately the time when he did lose his memory was also intact so the images of Syd comforting him in the infirmary, telling him he was a dad, the images of Z crying, the way she stormed out of the terrace, everything caused his heart to ache and his head to fill with pumping pain as he grasped his head and groaned in pain.

At that moment, Sydney came into Sky's room, to tell him the truth and how genuinely sorry she was, and found the door was unlocked as it slid open, she went in feeling scared of what would happen, how badly would he react, and how would it affect his health, but she couldn't lie anymore, so she mustered her courage and took a deep breath and entered but found it to be empty, she then saw the balcony door open and went out to see Sky lying on the mattress almost lifeless. She gasped and patted his cheek trying to wake him up but he didn't so she hastily removed his morpher from his belt and connected to Kat and squealed "Kat! Sky has fainted!"

1 day later at the infirmiry.

Sky woke up in shock as Kat rushed to him "Sky... can you hear me? You're at SPD."

Sky calmed down and slowly blinked his eyes, Kat was about to ask him a question but he opened his mouth to say "Z... I need Z. Where is she... I need to... talk to her."

Kat asks "Do you remember everything Sky?"

Sky nods impatiently "Yes! Where's Z? I need her right now Kat."

Kat sighs "Sky... Bridge and Kyle have gone searching for her."

Just then a teary eyed Syd entered with Justin.

Syd said while sobbing hard "Sky... I'm so sorry... I was nothing but jealous... please forgive me..."

Sky looked away "I can't even look at you. You mean nothing to me now. I don't even hate you anymore. You just... don't exist in my world. So do me a favour and leave."

Kat sighs as Syd cries harder and squeals "Sky please! You, Bridge, Z, Jack are my bestfriends please Sky!"

Sky who looked completely indifferent looked at Kat "Kat I need to be alone."

Kat nods and looks at Justin and he nods grimly and takes a crying Syd out sadly.

After one day of recovery, the moment Sky got discharged around 5 pm after literally fighting with , he went to look for Z, his love. He knew just where she could be.

(A/n: Finally Found You by Enrique fits here perfectly)

He stopped a SPD bike to a halt infront of Jack and Ally's apartment. He rung the bell and Jack opened it and as Sky rushed in Jack stopped him "Hey hey... slow down Sky."

Sky who just couldn't wait anymore said "C'mon Jack. I need Z. I just need to see her RIGHT NOW. I remember everything. I love her. Please Jack."

Jack who was mad at him and Syd could feel his urgency and nodded "You hurt her Sky and I'll kill you."

Sky nodded hastily "Yeah yeah do that. But NOW please. Let me go to her."

Jack sighed as he stopped Sky again as he tried to rush inside the apartment "She lives with us Sky, but right now she's gone for a walk."

Sky ran out but then ran back to Jack "Wait where does she go for a walk?"

Jack smirks "NTC park."

By the time Jack finished saying, Sky was already seated on his bike.

He screeched the bike to a halt infront of the NTC park gates and ran inside. He called out her name but she was nowhere to be seen. Just then an alien criminal blasted towards Sky and he saved himself with his forcefield.

Sky groaned "Not nowww!" as he regained his balance.

He then started hand to hand combat with the criminal but the criminal had the upper hand and sent Sky flying back. Sky got up groggily as he heard a female voice and looked up to see Z and her duplicates fighting the monster, while the civilians started running out of the park to safety. Sky smiled and got up instantly and joined her in the fight. The monster kicked Z and she was caught by Sky. Sky held her tight as they both looked into eachother's eyes. But now wasn't the time to get romantic, so Sky put Z down and as they both stood opposite the criminal, Sky said "Plan B." and tossed Z's morpher at her which she caught.

Sky shouted "Ready?"

"Ready!" came an equally strong voice from Z as it started to drizzle.

"SPD Emergency!"

"SPD Shadow ranger!"

"SPD Blue ranger!"

And they both pounced on the criminal. After a long and tiring fight the criminal was contained.

"Power down."

Sky saw Z walking away from him, but he ran and caught hold of her. No. He was not gonna let her get away this time.

She turned, her eyes starting to tear up "What Sky?"

Sky pulled her into him and crashed his lips into hers in a deep kiss as the clouds became darker and thunders could be heard. Z immediately kissed him back as she brought him closer to her by pulling his collar and their makeout was heated and desperate as heavy raindrops fell on them, thankfully they were alone thanks to the criminal attack. Sky's hands felt her soft and now wet skin under her black top as he got lost in her.

Once they broke off, Sky immediately said, panting "I... love you... Ellie." and started kissing her again. The kiss was now slower and even more heated as they both let out soft muffled moans and all of Z's questions were answered when he called her Ellie. After they broke off, Sky hugged her tightly and said "I love you so much Z. I'm so sorry."

Z kissed him on his cheek and smiled "I love you too Sky."

As they reached SPD drenching wet around 8 pm struggling to keep their hands off one another, they started kissing eachother the moment they reached his room and locked the doors. Sky hastily pulled Z's top out and picked her up while kissing her and put her on the bed as he opened his shirt and got on top of her. He had to make her his again, after all she belonged only to him.

After an intense and passionate lovemaking, Sky held Z tightly in his arms as she gave little pecks on his neck and shoulder, while he kissed her forehead. Z then said "I love you a lot Sky. I missed you so much."

Sky smiled as he held her even more tightly loving the feel of her soft skin against his hard muscles and gave her a deep kiss on her lips and said "I love you too Z. I'm so sorry for everything." causing her to smile and then get lost in his blue eyes as he looked at her lovingly. Eventually, Z's eyes slowly started closing as he stroked her long damp hair and kissed her forehead causing her to sleep off in his arms. Sky thought about whatever happened in the last few months and involuntarily tightened his grip on her as she snuggled in his embrace, he sighed contently feeling her soft rhythmic breaths on his neck and the intoxicating smell of vanilla that he loved, as sleep finally overtook him and kissed her and slept off. This was the best sleep he had in weeks.
