Disclaimer: Okay, props to Tori Bradley for the name of Kai Bradley. I
completely forgot that's where I saw it from. I'm pretty sure that the
girl's name is mine. I own the daughter and Leila. Everything else
belongs to the company of Power Rangers and other authors. Enjoy!
Author's Note: STOP! If you have not read DINO STORM, HEARTS SONG, or UNBROKEN BONDS (in that order)...stop and go back and read all three of them. If you don't, you will be confused!
CHAPTER 1 About Time
A week went by before Tori was released from the hospital. Blake did not leave her side, having Hunter fetch him clothes and other necessities. Kira and Leila looked out for Tori's things and held onto the responsibility of finishing the nursery and furnishing it.
Hunter and Trent kept the house up for the new parents, bringing them fresh food to savor rather than suffering with hospital food. This day, Hunter was taking Trent to pick out a birthday surprise for Leila.
"Remember what happened on Leila's LAST birthday?" Hunter asked.
"Yea, she became a ranger," Trent replied. Hunter pulled into a strip mall and parked in front of a pet adoption center.
"Why here, just out of curiosity?" Trent asked as he got out of the car. The two walked towards the center.
"The pricing is cheaper and they don't believe in putting the animals down. I figure adopting one from here will clear up some space," Hunter said as they walked in. They scanned the dogs, walking through the rows of barking kennels.
"Man, now I know why the girls don't like coming in here. They just want to take them all," Trent said, playing with some of the dogs. Hunter laughed, agreeing with him. His eyes fell on a quiet kennel. He peeked in and saw a small beagle laying down, it's big black eyes peering out. When Hunter peeked in the kennel, the beagle perked his head up in curiosity. The beagle got up and walked to the gate, sitting down quietly.
"Hi there," Hunter said, sticking his hand in. The beagle sniffed it before licking him.
"Hey Trent, what do you think of this one?" Hunter asked. Trent came over and smiled down at the tiny dog.
"I think Leila will love this one," Trent commented.
"It's been here the longest out of most of these dogs. It just sits quietly, waiting for the right person to come by. I've never seen her perk up at somebody like that before. She must like you," said one of the workers.
"Does she have a name?" Trent asked. The worker shook his head.
"Uh, how about Spot?" Hunter asked. The beagle barked and wagged her tail. Trent and Hunter laughed.
"She must like it," Trent said. They went through the proper adoption procedure and walked out of the center, Spot curled up in Hunter's arms. They walked a couple of stores over to get a few pet supplies.
"Do you think anyone else will be expecting you to pull this?" Trent asked.
"As hard of a time as they've been giving me, it's highly doubtful," Hunter said, picking out a crimson, gold tinted collar for the Spot. When they were finished, Trent took the driver's side while Hunter let Spot peek out into the world as it drove by.
Hours later, Tori and Blake were home with their two new little ones. They gasped when they saw the finished nursery.
"Kira, Leila, it's beautiful!" Tori exclaimed.
"Well, let's not forget who originally designed it," Kira said, glancing at Cam.
"I try," he said sarcastically, causing a laugh. Trini and Kai both gave cute little baby yawns. The others cooed, awed, and chuckled at the sight.
"Guess it's time to put these two down for their first nap at home," Blake said. It did not take long before the babies were sound asleep and in their new cribs. Tori turned the baby monitors on high out of nervousness. Leila chuckled.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yea, I'm just being cautious. Let's go get something to eat," Tori said. The two walked down to the living room where everyone was gathered around a cake and a stack of presents. Leila gasped and smirked.
"Surprise," they all said, not screaming for fear of waking up the babies. Leila laughed, trying to get over the surprise.
"Hey, make a wish girl," Kira said. Blake lifted the cake up to Leila. She smiled and closed her eyes, thinking. In one breath, she blew out all the candles.
"Here sis, happy birthday from me and Kira," Trent said, handing Leila a box. She ripped open the package to reveal a beautiful tanned leather jacket.
"Wow, this is beautiful. I saw you fawning over it on a shopping trip a couple of months back," Kira said. Leila put the jacket on and started to model it. Dustin leaned into Shane.
"Any bets on if Hunter's present will be a ring?" Dustin asked.
"Twenty bucks says he isn't gonna do it yet," Shane said.
"You're on," Dustin said. Suddenly, everyone heard faint barking. They all stopped, listened, and heard it again.
"Why am I hearing a dog?" Blake asked.
"Because that's my present," Hunter said, getting up and running out of the room. Dustin sucked his teeth and slapped a twenty into Shane's opened hand. Hunter came back in with Spot in his arms. Leila grinned from ear to ear at the tiny furry bundle in Hunter's arms.
"Oh my gosh, I've always wanted a dog," Leila said as Hunter gently handed Spot over to Leila. Spot licked Leila as she giggled. Trent smirked at Hunter who glanced from Trent back to Leila.
Leila gently played and petted Spot but suddenly stopped. Trent had to hold in a laugh as Leila played with the collar.
"What is this....oh my gosh," Leila said as she carefully took what she found out. Carefully embedded and wrapped around Spot's collar was a beautiful topaz and diamond ring. Everyone but Hunter and Trent's mouths gapped open. Dustin grinned and opened his hand, Shane handing the twenty back over. Hunter took the ring from Leila and got down on one knee, holding her hand.
"Leila Omano, I love you with more than anything in this world. Will you marry me?" Hunter asked. Leila was speechless for a second before smiling bigger than she thought she ever could.
"YES!!" she cried. Everyone broke out into applause while Spot started to bark. Leila and Hunter embraced in a passionate kiss after Hunter had slipped the ring onto her. They stopped when they heard loud crying over the baby monitor.
"Sorry," they said to Blake and Tori as they grinned and ran upstairs to their son and daughter.
First chapter of the Leila/Hunter spinoff. What do you think? What adventures lie ahead as they plan their wedding? This story also starts the adventures that will lead to the rangers needing their powers again. Please R&R.
