Chapter Four
Three Months Later
Tori stood over Lothor's body feeling triumph, she had destroyed his powers and he was at her mercy. He looked at her and she smiled as she saw the fear in his eyes.
"Scared of me well you should be." She put her hands around his throat; he would now die as Blake had died....
Tori bolted awake breathing hard, it was the same dream she had been having for the past month, the dark thoughts disturbed her but how she wanted the dream to come true. Tori got up and went to the bathroom and turned on the light.
Her stomach was now beginning to grow and tomorrow she had a doctor's appointment and her fear was growing everyday. Lothor did not yet know she was pregnant, Cam had created a cyber version of her to fight in battle, and with Kyle on the team they had stayed on step ahead of him.
But she knew she couldn't hide forever eventually she would be found out and that was what kept her looking over her shoulder constantly and why Cam and Sensei had insisted she moved into a guest room in Ninja Ops.
Tori touched her stomach, the baby hadn't begun to kick yet but she could feel it within her. The doctor had told her she should feel the baby kicking soon and toward the end of the fourth month she could know the sex of the baby. Tori couldn't wait for that time, she wanted to give her child a name instead of calling it the baby or just plain it.
Sighing she returned to bed, she still missed Blake but knew he was watching over both of them. Thoughts of him followed her into sleep.
She awoke a few hours later and after showering, got dressed and found Cam, "in time for breakfast so what does the mother to be crave?"
Tori thought for a moment, "I'll take pancakes with strawberry jam."
Cam looked at her, "you're kidding right?"
"No I'm not I don't know why I want it but I guess its time for the weird cravings to begin."
Cam decided not to say anything else and went about his morning routine. A few minutes later Hunter walked in, "ready for you're appointment?"
Tori smiled, never once did she ever have the visit the doctor by herself one of her friends had always gone with her today it was Hunter's turn. Tori stood up, "yes I'm ready."
They got in the van with Hunter driving and soon arrived at the doctor's office and were soon in the examination room. Tori had always hated these kinds of exams, they felt so intrusive but she knew it was necessary.
Soon her doctor walked in, "hello Tori."
"Hello Dr. Mitchell this is Hunter."
She smiled, "yes the uncle to be, I remember him well are you ready?"
Tori nodded yes and that weird gel was put on her stomach, then she began the scan. Hunter looked at it, "all I see is a blob."
Tori looked at him, "that's your niece or nephew."
"Oh sorry." Hunter looked at ashamed at what he had said.
Dr Mitchell smiled, "I have to adjust the picture." She turned a few buttons and it soon became clearer, Hunter's eyes widened, "wow I can see him or her, are you able to tell?"
"In another month hopefully."
Hunter looked down at Tori and they took hands, he was glad and sad he could see this, glad he was there and sad because Blake should've had the honor. "Thank you for letting me see" he whispered.
"Thank you for helping me through this."
"Well Ms Hanson your baby is completely healthy and growing accordingly, you should feel it move pretty soon."
"I feel so bad that my baby is called it so from now on let's say Sam."
Hunter smiled down at Tori's stomach, "nice to meet you Sam."
Hunter helped Tori off of the table and she went into the next room and got dressed. "So you have plans today?" he asked.
"Yeah to take a nap."
"How about we go out for lunch later?"
Tori smiled, "sounds great."
Tori awoke and saw it was after one and decided to go for a walk before meeting Hunter, and sound found herself walking her favorite stretch of beach when Lothor appeared before her, "hello Blue Ranger."
Tori tried to keep the fear off her face, "go away!"
"Without fighting? I don't think so."
Tori cried out as she was grabbed by Zurgane as Lothor came toward her, "why all the fear and urgency my dear ranger?" Suddenly his senses picked up something and he looked her over, "well now I know so you're in a family way?"
Tori felt herself go cold, "no don't!"
"Two for the price of one." An evil smile on his face, Lothor raised his fist a glowing ball of energy appeared."
Tori sat up, "no please don't do this!"
Hunter ran in, "Tori what?"
"He's trying to kill my baby!"
"Lothor he knows!"
"Tori he isn't here, he doesn't know yet and all of us are going to make sure he doesn't."
"Where am I?"
"In my apartment remember? After the doctor's we decided to meet for lunch but apparently Sam didn't approve of it and you got sick, so you were resting here."
"How long was I asleep?"
Hunter sat next to her, "you closed you eyes for only a minute."
Tori touched her stomach, "it's a premonition."
Hunter made her look at him, "it won't happen, I'll die before it does."
Tori suddenly cried out and touched her stomach more gently than before, Hunter looked on in concern, "what's wrong?"
Tori took Hunter's hand and put in under hers, "Sam just kicked."
