The group all laughed and talked as they walked from work to Rootcore until Nick staggered suddenly. "Nick?" Vida asked.
Madison whirled and snapped, "Chip! Contact Udonna! Now!"
The yellow ranger nodded and quickly whipped out his morpher. "Udonna?" he asked, fearfully, watching the red ranger as he stumbled away from the group, sinking to the ground, yelling in agony.
"What is it? What's going on?" she asked.
"It's Nick," Chip began slowly. "He's hurt."
Udonna ordered, "Get him to Rootcore! Now!"
He nodded and he signaled the rest of the team to help him support / carry Nick.
They arrived and Udonna carefully took Nick from the other rangers and laid him on the couch. She nodded as Clare handed her a small package of frozen food. Udonna pressed it against Nick's head and murmured, "Shh, Bowen, shh. I've got you. I've got you. It's OK. It's OK. Everything will be alright."
Nick shifted and curled into his mother's side, whimpering, "My head hurts, Mommy."
She rubbed his shoulder and whispered, "It will be OK. I've got you."
Nick sniffled and he slowly sat up and leaned against her chest.
She smiled and gently began singing a lullaby that she always sang to get Bowen to sleep when he was a child and when he couldn't sleep at night when he'd spend the night at Rootcore.
"Come, stop your crying. It will be alright. Just take my hand. Hold it tight. I will protect you from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry. For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm. This bond between us can't be broken. I will be here, don't you cry. 'Cause you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart from this day on now and forever more. You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart, always. Why can't they understand the way we feel? They just don't trust what they can't explain. I know we're different but deep inside we're not that different at all. And you'll be in my heart. Yes, you'll be in my heart from this day on, now and forever more. You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart, always. Don't listen to them 'cause what do they know? We need each other to have to hold. They'll see in time, I know. When destiny calls you, you've got to be strong. I may not be with you so you got to hold on. They'll see in time, I know. We'll show them together 'cause you'll be in my heart. Believe me, you'll be in my heart. I'll be there from this day on, now and forever more. You'll be in my heart, no matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart always. Always… I'll be there for you. I'll be there for you always, always, and always. Just look over your shoulder. Just look over your shoulder. Just look over your shoulder. I'll be there, always."
Nick drifted off and turning to the others, Udonna asked, "Did this happen before?"
"Yeah, earlier today," Madison replied.
Udonna frowned and watched as Nick shifted, crying and whimpering. She knelt down beside her son and murmured, "Hush, Bowen, shh, it's OK. I've got you, little one. You'll be alright."
Nick reached up and grabbed up at his mother, crying. Udonna carefully picked up her son and sat down, holding him on her lap and gently began rocking him.
The rest of the team exchanged glances and then quietly left Rootcore, not wanting to interrupt the mother/son moment.
