"Where are they?" Cam asked as he and Tori sat in the bleachers,
waiting for the race to begin. Tori glanced around and a smile spread
across her face as she saw two bikes with numbers, 11 and 08 on the front.
"There," she said. Cam looked and saw Blake and Hunter pull up to the start line.
"Dudes! Did I miss anything?" a very flustered Shane said as he sat next to them with Marah and Kapri in tow.
"Where were you guys?" Tori asked. She knew Kapri never missed one of Hunter's races. They had surprised everyone, including themselves when they had gotten together. Marah on the other hand was looking around for Dustin- her fiancé.
Since Tori and Blake had returned, nearly 3 months ago, things had changed in everyone's lives. Besides Kapri and Hunter, Shane and Kelly had gotten together. He had decided to tell her about his ranger past, and she took it surprisingly well.
Dustin and Marah, as well as Cam and Laura, were engaged, and Tori was now VERY heavy with child.
Blake, Hunter, and Dustin were winning nearly every tournament they entered in their respective racing categories. With the winnings from the races, they all had gotten together with Kelly and expanded Storm Chargers that was now two stories and carried a full staff. They were all partners in the deal, and soon they would be adding a new member to the family.
Tori smile as she placed her hand on her very round belly. A small hand or foot met hers and she laughed a little. "Tor? You okay?" Shane asked. Tori nodded.
"You all are treating me like some sort of bomb that's about to go off or something!" she said.
"Well, you sorta are," Kapri commented. Tori smirked at her and turned her attention back to the racers and saw Blake give her a smile as he placed his helmet on. Within moments, he and hunter were racing around the track furiously. Hunter took first, while Blake finished second. Large cheers went up from the crowd and the rangers, with Marah and Kapri made their way down to where the Storm Chargers rig was set up.
They found Dustin sitting under the awning of the newly furnished trailer with his eyes closed. Marah went over and sat on his lap, waking him instantly.
"Dude, what'd I miss?" he asked suddenly, which caused everyone to laugh. Blake and Hunter pulled up then and Tori couldn't keep the smile off her face. She was so proud of him. Kapri went over to Hunter, while Blake got off his bike and kissed Tori gently on her cheek.
"Great job!" Tori said smiling. Blake hugged her as best he could and Tori laughed.
"Thanks," he replied. Everyone was celebrating when Kelly pulled up in the van. Shane greeted her with a small kiss, and they began to pack up everything. They all congregated back at Storm Chargers and closed the shop for the day.
Upstairs in the main office, Tori was sitting on the couch with her eyes closed.
"So, any names?" Kapri asked as she sat across from her. Tori shook her head.
"Nothing definite yet," Tori replied.
"Oh...I thought you guys settled on Kai. I mean, that is what you call him...or her." Tori smiled.
"Kai means ocean in Hawaiian. The full name is Kailani. It means sea and sky in Hawaiian.
Kapri smiled. "That's like so cute!"
Just then, the thunder brothers came up the stairs. Blake sat next to Tori and placed a hand on her belly. "Tired?" he asked.
"Yeah...Kailani seems to think my stomach is a punching bag," Tori replied.
"I guess we know my nephew's going to be a ninja then," hunter said.
"How do you know it's going to be a girl?" Kapri challenged him.
"I just do."
"No you don't! there is no way to tell if-"she was cut off by Hunter kissing her.
"Finally, a way to shut her up," Blake whispered to Tori, causing her to giggle. "Come on, let's get you home." They left Kapri and Hunter and took the short van ride back to their house.
Once inside, Tori laid out on the couch and closed her eyes. Moments later, Blake was sitting with her feet on her lap. "I can't wait until this kid's born," she said tiredly.
"Me neither," he replied as he took her foot in his hands and began to massage it. "I was thinking...what about middle names?"
"Well I think that if it's a boy he should have your name," Tori said smiling.
"Kailani Blake Bradley. Good motocross name," he said grinning.
"Or surfer...we could call him Kai for short." she paused for a moment before a smile spread across her face. "And if it's a girl, Joann...for your mum and mine." Blake smiled.
"I love it." He got up and kissed her lips gently. "I can't wait to see what's in there," he said placing a hand on her stomach.
"We'll know soon enough." Tori struggled a little to sit up, but with Blake's assistance, she stood and made her way up to their room. She climbed into bed and was asleep almost instantly. For some reason, the baby had been extremely active today and had tired her out.
Blake walked into the room and saw her fast asleep. He smiled and changed into a pair of pajama pants. He got in next to her and kissed her cheek.
((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))
It was well past midnight when Tori awoke suddenly to a cramping sensation in her abdomen. She had been getting them a little lately, but her doctor had told her that they were to be expected until the middle of her eighth month... she was there now and her fear suddenly grew.
The cramping stopped and she calmed. Five minutes later, another cramp hit her, this one more painful than the other. She sat up instantly and felt a small release inside of her. Before she knew it, she found that her pants, as well as the sheets around her were wet. She held her belly as she realized that this was it...she was in labor.
She turned to Blake who was still soundly sleeping with his head half buried in a pillow. She gently shook him. "Blake," she said. He didn't respond. She shoved him. "Blake! Wake up."
Blake bolted awake and saw Tori sitting up with a terrified look on her face. "What's happened?" he asked as he sat next to her.
"I think my water just broke."
"There," she said. Cam looked and saw Blake and Hunter pull up to the start line.
"Dudes! Did I miss anything?" a very flustered Shane said as he sat next to them with Marah and Kapri in tow.
