CHAPTER 3 Two Babies and Two Brothers
"Now this I like," Blake said a few days later at his house in Blue Bay Harbor. All the friends had gathered at Tori and Blake's house for a victory party/baby shower. They were into the present Shane had gotten for them. It was a baby sized Sensei robe, the kind Tori wore when she taught her classes. There were two, one lined with navy and one lined with Tori's blue shade.
"When your little one comes along, they can decide which parent they take after," Shane said, explaining having choices. Tori leaned across and hugged Shane, kissing him on the cheek. Shane and Blake shook hands, as they could not get close enough for brotherly hugs.
"Our turn," Hunter declared, as he kept one hand around Leila and handed Tori the present with his other one.
"We kind of had the same idea as Shane," Leila said as Tori tore open the present. She threw her head back and laughed before Blake could see it.
"What is it?" he asked. Tori held up two baby-sized motocross jerseys. One was identical to Blake's and one was identical to the one Tori wore whenever she went riding.
"You've got to keep the Bradley tradition up," Hunter commented. The others laughed. Kira and Trent glanced at each other.
"We actually have two presents with us. One is from my dad," Trent said as he handed a present and a piece of paper to Tori and Blake. The parents-to- be took the paper and read it. Tori gasped and Blake's mouth hung open, speechless.
"A thousand dollar pre-paid shopping spree at Babies-R-Us?" Blake asked in disbelief. Kira and Trent laughed at their reaction. Leila chuckled.
"Dad doesn't really know what to get when it comes to babies, so he thought he'd just let you guys decide. Don't bother arguing about the amount. It's only a waste of time," Leila said.
"Now open the present from us," Kira said. Tori and Blake snapped out of it and carefully opened the present. Blake saw it first and laughed as he looked at Tori.
"What?" Tori asked. Blake finished opening the present and showed it to Tori. Tori smiled. It was a surfboard shaped name plate. With a lightning bolt design in the middle, half the board was Tori's color and half was Blake's. Blake's thunder insignia was carved in his color side while Tori's was carved in her color side. In the center, written in white paint, was "Baby Bradley".
"I can put the name on there when the baby's born if you like," Kira offered.
"Thank you," Tori and Blake said. Dustin laughed and slapped his hands together.
"Time for Uncle Dustin's present," he said. He jumped up and ran out of the room. The others were confused as they waited for Dustin's present. He came back in, pushing a special stroller. It was shaped life a motocross bike, with a seat built in. Dustin had carefully painted it to have mostly Tori and Blake's respective colors. But he had strategically placed color designs of all the other rangers in the room along with insignias.
"Dustin! This is amazing!" Tori declared, looking the detail over.
"Dude, you made this?" Blake asked in disbelief. Dustin smiled in embarrassment.
"Well, Leila and Kira helped me with the painting of all the other colors but I did build it and paint your colors," Dustin said. Tori embraced the goofy yellow ninja ranger in an emotional hug. Blake hugged his wife and good friend too. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door and the phone rang at the same time.
"Okay, break time," Tori said as she went for the phone. Blake went for the door while the other rangers admired Dustin's handy work on the stroller. Blake went to the door and opened it wide. His mouth broke into a huge grin when he saw who it was.
"Tommy! Kim! Sensei Omano! Oh man, this is awesome," Blake said as he embraced his old friends into tight hugs. The three laughed as the father to be got extremely excited.
"Hey Blake, what's all the commotion about?" Hunter asked as he came up to the front door. He smiled when he saw the reasons Blake was so excited. He hugged Kim and shook Tommy and Sensei Omano's hands. Leila embraced Kim, Tommy, and her grandfather as they ushered in. Tori was still on the phone as Tommy, Kim, and Sensei Omano settled in and talked with the other rangers.
"Where's Tori?" Kim asked.
"On the phone. I'm not sure who with," Blake said.
"Blake, could you come here for a second please?" Tori called from the kitchen. Everyone frowned and looked at each other curiously as Blake got up and went into the kitchen.
"What's the matter baby?" Blake asked as he saw Tori's shocked expression. It quickly melted into a content smile and Tori dove at Blake. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. Blake stumbled in shock, but recovered quickly as he kissed her back. When they parted, Tori was still smiling and Blake was still in shock.
"What was that for?" he asked. Tori smiled wide again before telling him.
"How do you feel about twins?" she asked. Blake's face fell in pure shock.
"What?" he squeaked. Tori laughed and framed his face.
"We're having two babies," she said simply. Blake's face broke out into a huge smile and he picked her up and spun her around in happiness.
"WHOA, YEAH!!!!" Blake screamed.
"Bro, what is it?" Hunter asked as he came running into the kitchen, the others following.
"We're having twins!" Blake cried in happiness. The others laughed in pure shock and irony.
"Well, I guess we gave you two of everything for a reason then," Shane said.
"And this is a double seated stroller in case you didn't notice," Dustin pointed out.
"And Kira can write both names on the name plate," Trent said. Cam was silent for a second.
"Let me go fix my present really quick," he said, running out of the room.
"What was that about?" Tommy asked. The others shrugged their shoulders.
"Hey guys, come here!" Cam called. The others found their places back in the living room and Cam showed them his computer screen.
"This is my present for you guys, hopefully with some help from others to actually build it," Cam said. The others gasped at the sight. Cam was showing them a virtual blueprint of a nursery he wanted to build for them.
"Cam it's beautiful!" Tori said as she read over and looked at the detail. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it bro," Hunter said, seeing his brother and sister-in-law engrossed in the wonderful idea Cam had for them. Hunter opened the door and saw the mysterious Asian man from the race there.
"May I help you?" Hunter asked.
"I'm looking for Blake Bradley. I hope this isn't a bad time," the man said.
"If you want an autograph, you'll have to go through his manager...," Hunter started to explain.
"I don't want an autograph. I want to show him these papers. My name is Derrick Wong and I think I may be Blake's biological brother," the man explained. Hunter couldn't move. He just stared at the man....dumbfounded.
Okay, as if some of you didn't see that one coming. But not everything is as it may seem. Find out all the answers and more in the next few chapters to come. Is Derrick the genuine article? Or is there something behind it? Find out the truth of Blake's past in the path of discovery his friends walk with him. Please R&R.
