Chapter 3
Two Days Later
"You're pregnant."
The words kept reverberating in her head until it became deafening, she couldn't be pregnant she was all alone, her lover and father of her child was gone.
Tori bolted awake and began sobbing, why did it have to happen? What had she done to deserve watching Blake being killed in front of her and then finding out she was going to be a mother?
A light came on and Hunter came in, "Tori its ok you're not alone." He embraced her and she sobbed even harder. "I know it hurts Blake was my little brother."
So far only Cam and Sensei knew she was pregnant but they kept her secret, she knew she would have to tell eventually but she just couldn't say the words. "Where am I?" she asked instead.
"You're in the guest quarters in Ninja Ops; Cam wants to keep you here for observation."
Tori looked at him, "there is something I have to reveal but I just can't do it yet."
Hunter touched her shoulder, "take you're time."
Just then the door opened and Cam came in, "I think you know why I'm here."
"You're calling off the search aren't you?" Hunter asked quietly.
"It's been two days we have to accept we may never find him."
Tori whimpered and laid back on the bed, but no tears came right now she was just to tired. "Hunter I need to talk to Tori."
"Tori I'll be in the main room if you need me."
Tori looked at him in acknowledgement but said nothing and watched as he left, Cam sat next to her, "You need to eat if not for your sake then for your baby."
"Oh Cam I just don't know what I'm going to do, I know the others have a right to know."
"Tori concentrate on your own health first that's all you need to do."
Tori nodded, "I just want to sleep."
Cam nodded and left the room and went to find his father, "she won't come out and she can barely eat."
"She's been through a lot Cameron but she will pull through with our help."
Just then the computer began to sound an alarm, "Kelzacks are running loose."
"Take the other rangers while I talk to Tori."
"She can't be a ranger in her condition."
"Cam I don't expect her to be just go."
Tori tossed and turned as she slept then a fog rolled in, but it wasn't an evil fog she felt safe and content then she noticed a figure. "Who... who are you?"
The figure came out and Tori gasped as her hands went to her mouth, "Blake?"
It was him the way he had always looked in real life, "yes it is me, Tori I love you and I know it'll hurt but you have to go on without me."
"I love you."
"I love you Tori but we each have to accept what fate brings us, I may not be with you physically but I'll always watch over both of you."
"You know?" she whispered.
"Yes you have to take care of yourself not for your sake but you need to be strong for our baby, and soon the rangers will become one more."
"What does that mean?"
"Another person will soon wear my morpher."
"But who?"
"It will be revealed soon now its time for you to awake." The fog began to swirl obscuring her vision.
Tori's eyes snapped open, but she didn't feel like crying but a strange feeling of peace had come over her, she touched her stomach, 'hang in there' she thought to herself, 'we'll both be ok'.
The rangers continued to fight the Kelzacks when a stranger appeared, Hunter the first to see him gasped, "Kyle?"
He nodded, "I'll explain everything when we're finished."
Soon the Kelzacks were defeated and the rangers gathered around the person who had helped, Hunter was the first to speak, "I thought you were captured."
"Hunter who is this?" Shane asked.
"This is Kyle Matthews; he was at the Thunder Academy with me and Blake."
"I wasn't at the academy that day but in Nepal with Sensei Amano's daughter, I came here when I heard about Blake, I know he wasn't wearing his morpher at the time."
"How could you know that?" Hunter asked.
"Because Blake was my best friend, last year we made a pact if one of us died and needed help we would find a way to contact each other, last night Blake came to me in a dream and that is why I've come."
"Why should we believe you?" Dustin asked.
"Take me to see Tori, Blake will reveal it to her, he already has."
"Tori's in a very delicate state right now, "Hunter replied.
"He's telling the truth," Startled they all turned to the voice and saw Tori standing there, dark circles under her eyes, "hello Kyle."
"You believe him?" Shane asked.
Tori nodded, "Blake came to me in a vision a few minutes ago and showed me everything." Tori held out Blake's morpher, "he would want you to have it."
Kyle took the morpher and put it on his wrist, "I won't let any of you down."
Tori took a deep breath, "there's something else I need to tell you....I'm pregnant."
"Wow how long have you known?" Dustin and Shane were the first to reach her.
"The same day we...lost Blake."
"It'll be ok you have all of us."
Tori smiled as her friends embraced her, while the newest member of the team briefly touched her shoulder; she knew she didn't have to face this alone.
