CHAPTER 16
Front Lawn Fight
"YOU'RE WHAT?!" screamed Anton, Laura, and Sensei Omano. It was the morning after Conner had proposed spontaneously to Chloe and they were now telling everyone. The rangers and all their associates had seen it coming, but Anton, Laura, and Sensei Omano were a little taken back by the suddenness of it, especially since they had only just been reunited with Chloe. Brian and Scott were smarter than they appeared to be to the rangers. They stayed out of it and just congratulated Conner and their cousin.
"We're engaged," Chloe said to her parents and grandfather.
"But...but...so soon?" Laura asked flabbergasted.
"Laura," LeeAnn said. Laura paused and glanced at Anton and her sister.
"I know, I know," Laura said. Anton just rubbed his temples in embarrassment.
"What?" Leila, Chloe, and Trent asked.
"They were married after two weeks," LeeAnn said.
"WHAT?!!" the kids demanded.
"We've rekindled a friendship but we're a little taken back by the suddenness of your engagement and we don't want the same result for you," Anton explained.
"Well, Anton there are a lot of differences between yours and Laura's marriage compared to Conner and Chloe's engagement," Laura said.
"Such as?" Anton questioned.
"We didn't approve of your marriage, that's why the two of you eloped, in case you don't remember," Sensei Omano said. Anton's face fell a little.
"Oh...yeah," he said. Laura gave him a soft smile.
"Things have changed, like you said," she replied. Anton smiled as Hayley rubbed his shoulder gently in support.
"And they've also been dating longer than you two have. Plus, I'm sure with the situation at hand, the engagement will last a little bit," Sensei Omano said, glancing at his granddaughter. Chloe gave her grandfather a playful look.
"Don't worry grandpa. We don't want to have to worry about Torrance interrupting the ceremony," Chloe said. Laura, Anton, and Sensei Omano calmed down a little bit and the group settled into congratulating the couple.
Later that night the group but settled into a relaxed but an alert routine. All but Scott and Brian. They sensed something that they were more in tune with than Chloe and Leila.
"They're close, but why haven't they attacked yet?" Scott asked his brother.
"I don't know. Maybe they're planning something with Torrance," Brian suggested.
"Shouldn't we tell the others?" Scott asked.
"Let's wait it out until morning. No matter what, we'll tell them then," Brian said. So the two brothers banded together, watching over the estate and their friends for the night. Conner watched from the window of his and Chloe's bedroom as Brian paced around the front yard.
"Dude, you okay?" Hunter asked from the open door. The girls were all gathered in Leila's room for a little while, so the guys were back and forth talking with each other. Blake held Kai in his arms as he stood behind Hunter. Trent was right behind Blake holding Trini.
"I still don't trust those guys," Conner said.
"You will in time. Chloe would've said something if she thought they were a threat," Blake said.
"I know, it's just that whole attack and Chloe's theories don't level up," Conner explained.
"Con, man, I've never heard you so thought provoked," came the familiar voice of Ethan. The guys laughed.
"Thanks a lot Ethan," Conner said.
"Conner, it's understandable your concerned, but our main focus should be Tara, Jon, and Torrance. Your main concern should be planning a wedding," Trent said as he bounced Trini a little. Conner sighed loudly. Meanwhile, the girls were enjoying their break. Kim had decided to join them for a little girl time while Tommy spent time with Anton and Sensei Omano. Hayley wanted to try and improve a friendship with Laura, so the two of them, along with LeeAnn, had gone out to dinner.
"Something smells good," Kira said, sniffing.
"Devin's downstairs cooking some dinner for everybody," Kim mentioned, grabbing a couple of cookies.
"Why are Brian and Scott pacing around the mansion?" Tori asked, glancing out Leila's window.
"They're probably still a little skeptical about getting to know everyone so they're pacing outside to be 'bodyguards'," Chloe explained. The girls suddenly heard a toilet flush and a small groan. The bathroom door opened and Leila came out, leaned against the door frame and clutched her stomach. Kira, Kim, and Tori glanced at each other and smirked at Leila.
"Are you pregnant?" Chloe asked, out of the blue. Tori, Kim, and Kira suppressed laughs.
"Hunter is NEVER touching me again," Leila said, playfully. The girls all laughed and squealed as they enveloped her in a hug.
"How far along are you?" Tori asked.
"I think a few weeks," Leila said.
"So how do you want to tell Hunter?" Kim asked.
"Hunter proposed to you with Spot right?" Chloe asked. Leila nodded as the girls glanced at Spot and Daisy lying on the bed.
"Well I have an idea," Chloe said, smirking evilly. A few minutes later, the guys were still in Conner and Chloe's room talking when Spot and Daisy came in.
"Hey Spot," Hunter said, kneeling down for Spot to come to him. He scooped her up in his arms and frowned at something attached to her collar. There were pink and blue ribbons attached to the front of the collar and a note attached. Hunter read it.
"Whether boy or girl, a baby will rock our world, active..playful..shy maybe, Hunter and Leila are having a baby," Hunter said, slowing down in shock as he read the last line.
"Surprise," Leila said from the door. All the guys and the girls clapped in happiness as Hunter got over the shock and enveloped Leila in a huge hug and passionate kiss, while still holding Spot. Daisy barked in happiness.
The happiness was short-lived as a blast rocked the Mercer grounds. Trent and Blake held the babies tightly while Conner and Ethan ran to the window.
"Oh man," Conner said.
"What is it?" Chloe asked.
"I'm guessing your parents," Ethan said, never having seen Tara and Jon before. But sure enough, Brian and Scott were in the front yard obviously hurt and being approached by Tara and Jon.
DUHN DUHN DUHN!!! WHAT'S gonna happen? Where's Torrance? Will the others show up in time? Will Kim, Kira, and Leila be okay with their pregnancies AND a fight? What's going to go down with Conner and Chloe's marriage? Will Conner ever trust Brian and Scott? Will they get to the Lightning Academy in time? What else will happen? Find out next time.
Author's Note: Okay, I have been working on an original novel since eighth grade and I am very close to finishing. However, does anyone have any advice about finding a literary agent, manager, or getting published? I would really appreciate it. Either post it in your review or send it to me via email at Thanks a bunch. God bless! –Storm2003
