disclaimber: I own nothing Power rangers, wish I did but that's life.
Author's note: this story is a stand alone form my other story, By Heart. It just struck me and I wanted to write it before the season is over.
1.
The mall was packed as on Christmas Eve Kendrix and Karone browsed in the many shops in the heart of Terra-Prime. Since the city had been given it's new name after their landing on Mirinoi it had been easy to blend the last remaining tribes of the once flourishing world in the new cultures and yet keep an even balance with the technology that had brought the earthlings to the world. Now both alien and natives were dashing around doing last minute holiday shopping. The Mirinoians not celebrating Christmas or any of the earth celebrations still had their own. On the day which the earthlings used for their grand holiday the natives celebrated their fall harvest. True the occasions were rather different they managed to coincide and have a nice season.
The two ex-pink galaxy rangers were just coming out of a small specialty shop when the sight of the pretty red head caught Kendrix's sight.
"Maya!" Kendrix called and then they were all talking a mile a minute.
"I hate you." Karone said because Maya was five months along and not showing.
"Oh, well, I wish I was showing. Maybe I'll look like that next month." Maya said hopefully.
"So how's Kai?" Kendrix broke in.
"Oh, I'm supposed to meet him in front of HQ in…" She glanced at her earth made watch. "Two minutes."
"Come on." Karone said pushing the girls through the crowd. Her driver was there and they were on their way.
"Shopping I see." Kai greeted his wife with a kiss that made her blush.
"Look who I found." She said after she pulled herself together.
"Ladies." He turned to face them. He hugged Karone over her large belly and couldn't believe the change in the onetime princess of evil. Love had given her eyes that not even her new powers had. Working with mike every day Kai knew the changes had also happened to the one time work aholic, not that he hadn't changed after he'd hooked up with his Maya. As he then hugged the girl that he'd once thought he was in love with he noted that Kendrix looked both tired and a little pale. He wondered if she was working too hard? He'd take care of that, he'd have a talk with her boss.
"We were just going to get some lunch." Maya said turning back to the two other women.
"We'd like it if you came along." The one time blue ranger said with a smile.
"Well, I don't…" Kendrix began feeling as if she might be ill if she didn't go home. The cold she'd been fending off al week and the whole rushing around were making her feel worse with every minute.
"Come on, we never get to spend time with them." Karone pulled her arm until she agreed.

"Kelsey and Ryan came to visit for Thanksgiving." ." Karone said then frowned a little as she took a sip off her juice. "We were away so we didn't get to see them. Kendrix did." The blonde added.
"Little Billy came too. It was really nice." Kendrix said but she felt a little odd, dizzy and yet her stomach ached.
"And how's Leo?" Kai watched her face in concern, was she ill?
"He's thinking of leaving here and going home." That in itself made Kendrix's head swim. She couldn't think of him going, not when she loved him. Not after al that had happened. Karone said
The others noticed that Kendrix seemed even more quiet than she'd been initially.
"I heard from Dana." Karone broke the uncomfortable silence.
"So did I. I can't believe how well things are going for them." Maya smiled.
"I… I don't feel so well." Going white Kendrix put down her money on the table and as she got t her feet her stomach rolled.
"Kendrix?"
"I really have to…"
