Disclaimer: I only own Leila and any mention of Derrick. Also, I don't
know if Mr. and Mrs. Kwan's name were ever mentioned, but whatever they
are, I don't own them.
CHAPTER 11 Happy Endings
"Trini told us everything about her past as a ranger a few months after she returned from the peace conference. She didn't think that she could really continue her life at college unless she was honest with us. We were beyond speechless but after rereading articles she had cut out and put in a scrapbook and watching past news shows, we couldn't help but extremely proud. It had been years since the original team had been around, so we unfortunately needed some reminding," Mrs. Kwan explained.
"The attack happened close to the end of her first year. Somehow, she managed to finish it out, even after all the counseling and doctor visits. We found out that she was pregnant a month after she finish her exams. Trini didn't know what to say. I think the idea of being pregnant before she was ready scared her more than the rape did. As scared as she was, she told us that abortion was not an option. She did not want to kill an innocent child," Mr. Kwan continued, glancing up at Blake. Blake let out a deep sigh and clutched Tori's hand. Hunter held one firm hand on Blake's shoulder while holding Leila close. This also effected him as well. Mrs. Kwan leaned in closer to Blake, getting his attention. He looked up and locked eyes with her.
"She did not think it would be fair to keep you when she was not ready to be a mother. She made arrangements with the best agency we could find. But the moment you were born, a look of loving pride came from her. She always loved you Blake. She just couldn't stand for you to grow up with this truth when you could grow up and end up with a better life. From the looks of it and from I hear, she was right," Mrs. Kwan said. Blake smiled, glancing from Tori, to Hunter, and finally to all of their friends.
"How did we never hear of this until now?" Kim asked.
"Trini was very embarrassed to have been a victim of this. A former power ranger, raped. She could never get over it or bring herself to admit to anyone, especially her former teammates," Mr. Kwan said.
"What happened to her?" Blake asked quietly. Mr. and Mrs. Kwan tried to collect their thoughts, it still being difficult to talk about Trini. Tommy stepped forward and spoke up.
"She passed away in a car accident a few years ago Blake. Before you were ever given the Navy Thunder Morpher," Tommy explained. Blake looked at his wrist where is morpher used to be. Tori gently ran her hand over the area. Even after the extended period of not wearing the morphers, it still felt empty not having them on their wrists. All of the rangers had constructed treasure style keepsake boxes to store their morphers in. Blake smirked.
"I guess mom wanted me to know something about her without realizing it," he said, eyes in thought about the mother he never knew. All of the rangers and Trini's parents smiled at the thought.
"There's so much we need to tell you about her Blake. There may be things only Tommy and Kim can tell you," Mrs. Kwan said. Blake quickly wiped away on coming tears and sat up.
"First, I want to introduce to a few people. This is my wife, Tori. She's pregnant with our first two," Blake said happily. Tori wasn't sure was to say or do. Blake could see tears forming in her eyes as she went to shake the Kwan's hands but they embraced her in a hug. Blake smiled at the sight.
"And this is Hunter, my real brother," Blake said. The same actions were repeated, everyone smiling at the sight. Friends and family alike got acquainted and reacquainted with the Kwans. Tori went to the hospital and got checked out with a clean bill of health. Rather than returning home, the Kwans brought everybody to a special place. They brought Blake especially to the grave of Trini Kwan.
"Kim, would you like to?" Mrs. Kwan asked. Kim stepped forward and stood next to Blake and Tori.
"Trini, this is Blake, your little boy. He's all grown up. You'd be so proud of him. He was a ranger and a damn good one. He also knows how to pick 'em. This is Tori, his wife. She was a ranger too. They're going to have twins soon. It's making me feel old. I feel like I should be the grandmother," Kim said. The others laughed. Blake looked down at the tombstone. He glanced a little past it and gasped silently. For a few seconds, he could have sworn he saw the angelic figure of his mother, smiling at him and his friends...his family.
"Nice to finally meet you mom," he said. The angelic figure blew him a kiss and disappeared in the wind.
A few months later...............................
"Did you call Mr. and Mrs. Kwan, Tommy?" Leila asked. They were all gathered in the waiting room of the Blue Bay Harbor hospital. In the months that had past, Derrick Wong had been put way in jail for a minimum of fifty years without the possibility of parole. Blake had grown close to his grandparents and gotten to know a lot about his mother, through them and not only Kim and Tommy, but the other rangers who had served with her.
Zack, Billy, and Jason were surprised beyond anything else to hear the story about what happened to Trini. They took the first opportunity to come out and visit Mr. and Mrs. Kwan. The first time they laid eyes on Blake during this trip, they saw him in a new light. For one thing, he made them all feel extremely old. It was almost like they were looking at a son or nephew as close as they had all been to Trini.
As had previously been arranged, Hunter and Leila had returned to the Thunder Academy and worked double time. They wanted as much time as they could possibly get to help Blake and Leila with the babies. Kira, Trent, Kim, and Tommy were on standby as were Shane, Dustin, and Cam. The two wind rangers and Samurai rangers were on their way from the Wind Academy at that very moment. Kira and Trent were at Tori and Blake's house, making final arrangements to the nursery according to Cam's original design. Leila, Hunter, Tommy, and Kim were currently the only ones in the waiting room.
"Yea, not five minutes ago when I called Jason, Katherine, and Hayley. They're going to call everyone else and let them know we're here. It's going to take them longer to get here than Shane, Dustin, and Cam though," Tommy explained.
"Understandable," Hunter said. He sat back and looked up at the clock. Meanwhile, doctors were busy with Tori.
"Okay, Tori, push!" one called.
"AH!!" Tori cried as she clutched Blake's hand and pushed hard.
"Baby, you're doing great," Blake said.
"Here it comes. It's a boy!" the doctor said. Tori and Blake both rejoiced for a second before pain from the last baby came.
"Push!"
"Ah!"
"It's a girl!" they cried. Tori collapsed in exhaustion, crying and smiling as she heard her babies let our their first cries. Blake's heart fluttered as he watched the doctors clean off his son and daughter. After they were dry and clean, the babies wrapped them up and brought them over to Tori and Blake.
"I love you," Blake said to Tori as he held their daughter.
"I love you too," Tori said to him, holding their son. They kissed passionately and turned back to their children. Less than an hour later, Hunter, Leila, Kim, Tommy, Shane, Dustin, and Cam walked into Tori's private room. They awed at the babies Blake and Tori were holding.
"Guys, meet Trini Amanda Leah Bradley," Blake said, showing off his daughter.
"Amanda?" Shane asked.
"That was my mother's name and, ironically...," Tori explained.
"Our mother's middle name," Hunter said.
"What about Leah?" Dustin asked.
"A different form of Leila you could say," Blake said, winking at a surprised Leila.
"What about this little guy?" Cam asked, smiling over the baby boy Tori was holding.
"Kai Hunter Bradley," Tori said, smiling at her brother-in-law. They all smiled at the couple, happy things were settled in. Blake and Tori looked from their children to each other. Things were settled.
Tori silently glanced at Hunter and Leila. She smiled, knowing they were the next chapter in this adventure.
THE END! Tori's right. Hunter and Leila are the next chapter in this story. Their story will basically pick up where this one leaves off. Thanks for reading.
