Tori had had the same dream again last night, only without the ball of energy appearing and being pushed towards her. But yet again, like all the other 7 nights, the pain in her stomach was horrible. She groaned, clutching her stomach, and turned over. "I thought sleep was meant to make things better," she muttered, feeling the worst she had ever felt that week. And that's saying something, considering she'd broken hearts, refused marriage, and turned away the guy that she wanted more than anything else. These thoughts ran through Tori's mind again and again, as she lay there in bed, her hair a mass of blonde tangles.

A soft knock made Tori open her eyes properly. Shane's voice came through the door. "Tori? Tori? Are you going come out any time today? You can't stay in the house forever you know, someday you might have breath the outside air again."

"Go away," Tori moaned, the pain in her stomach gradually growing worse. Her vision started going blurry.

"Tori, I mean it. Listen, me and Dustin and Marah are going down to the beach for the day. I really need you there; I can't stand Dustin and Marah being all lovey dovey by myself again,"

"Shane, I mean it too, go...away," Tori tailed off, as she couldn't bear the pain anymore. She vomited all over the bed, and her vision slipped away, as she sank into unconsciousness.

Tori opened her eyes to a white space above her. She shut them again, thinking that she had returned to her reoccurring dream. "Go away, I want to wake up!" she muttered, and turned over. To her surprise she found she wasn't in her own bed. She sat up, and opened her eyes again, squinting as her vision came back into focus. A familiar figure sat in a white chair at the end of the room, his head in his hands and a bunch of flowers and a card stood on the table next to the bed.

"I'm in the hospital?" Tori said, confused. At the sound of her voice, Cam sat up straight. "Cam?" Tori asked. "What am I doing here?" Cam ran a hand through his hair, making it stand up on end. Tori noticed that he looked like he had not slept for several nights. He looked at Tori for a split second, and she recoiled. "Cam?" she repeated. She felt no warmth in his gaze. He had reverted to his old self; the self that was pre-Power Rangers, the self that didn't socialise and stayed in the virtual world of computers.

"Tori, you're in hospital because you passed out. Shane found you in your bedroom, unconscious and lying in sick," when he spoke there was no friendliness in his voice, it was just, monotone. He didn't look at Tori, as though he couldn't bear to see her anymore.

"What? Why did I pass out?" Tori asked, confusion in her voice.

"You passed out because-"he broke off, his voice deathly calm. "You passed out because you're pregnant Tori."

"What!?" Tori's bright blue eyes widened in shock. "P- P- Pregnant?" A numb feeling overcame her and she gazed at the cotton blankets in which she was so tightly tucked in.

"Yes Tori, you're pregnant." Cam spat, as though he'd just said a disgusting swear word. He stood up, and walked to Tori's side. "So, hmmm, let me think, as you and I never touched each other in that way, how could you possibly be pregnant?" Anger was creeping into his voice. He'd never felt like this before. This type of anger was different. He couldn't believe Tori. He couldn't believe she would do this kind of betrayal. She'd either forgotten about him so quickly and had sex with someone after their anniversary, or... Cam's eyes shot to Tori in a nanosecond. "Did you have an affair?" he whispered, so quiet Tori barely heard him.

Tori couldn't believe her ears; she didn't believe any of what she was hearing. She turned to look at him, and she lifted her gaze to stare into his light brown eyes that she thought she knew so well. "What?

"Did you have an affair?" Cam said again. He didn't know what he was saying any more. He just wanted to forget that he ever knew this happened. He wanted to forget that he ever knew and loved Tori Hanson. "Who's the father Tori? Who's the father of this baby, because it's not me."

Tori still didn't know what she was hearing. First she was pregnant, and now she had had an affair. This was too much. She opened her mouth to speak; she had to say something. But no words formed. Tori was beyond speaking.

"Ahem."

Both Tori and Cam shot around at this cough, and they saw Blake standing there with a bunch of white flowers in a blue vase, shifting nervously from foot to foot. Cam's eyes narrowed dangerously. Oh no, he thought. Anger surged through his blood, and hot sweat started to prickle in his skin. He grabbed his jacket from the chair he was sitting on, and pushed past Blake so viciously that he dropped vase and flowers with a shattering crash.

"Er, sorry!" Blake muttered, and bent down to clear up some of the mess. He paused and stared after the retreating figure of Cam. "Man, he must be freaked."

"Just leave the mess you've made!" a sharp voice from above said. Blake looked upwards and saw a very cross nurse. "I'll clean it up. Just take the flowers and go!"

"Er, thanks." Blake stammered, and after receiving a cold glare from the nurse, he picked up the flowers and entered Tori's room.

Tori had heard none of this commotion. She hadn't got past the shock. All of a sudden she was pregnant? How? And why? But Tori couldn't answer herself.

"Pregnant!" Shane shrieked.

"Hey, shut up man," Dustin cut in.

"Why?" Shane said, turning to face his best friend.

"Cause a) this is a hospital, and b) dude, you sound like a girl," Dustin smirked.

"If we could turn our attention back to what Cam has just told us?" Hunter interrupted. He couldn't let this information sink in. How was Tori pregnant? Who was the father?

Dustin, Shane, Marah, and Hunter had all been waiting in the reception area of the hospital, impatient to hear what had happened to their friend. They had left Cam alone in Tori's room; they figured he needed time to think. But what Cam had just told them, was hard to let sink in.

Dustin turned to Cam, who was now sitting in a chair, his head in his hands again. He had returned to them flushed and hotheaded, which surprised everybody. A thought slowly crept into Dustin's mind, and grin spread over his face. "You dog Cam! You never told us you and Tori, well; you know. Congratulations dude!"

Cam sat up so quickly everybody jumped. The look on his face was unrecognisable; he looked angry. "I'm not the father," he muttered through gritted teeth, as though it pained him to say it. The grin was wiped off Dustin's face quicker than a nanosecond. Cam stood up and looked at Hunter, his face twisted with fury. "She cheated on me. With your lying, filthy brother."

Hunter slowly stood up to face Cam, and planted his hand on Cam's chest. Marah was rubbing her arm nervously, and the tension was so thick you cut it with a knife. "My brother does not lie," he murmured menacingly. "My brother would not have cheated with your ex-girlfriend."

Cam stared into Hunter's dark brown eyes a second longer, then pushed him aside and walked out of the hospital, everybody staring after him.

"Uh, dude, I'm now thoroughly confused. How would've Tori and Blake cheated together, if Blake only got back a few days ago?" Dustin broke the silence with, and went to place an arm around Marah who was chewing her lip nervously.

Hunter was staring after the exiting Cam; a disgusted look on his face. "I know just as much you Dustin, just as much as you."

Sensei Watanabe's eyes snapped open. He was sitting in Ninja Op's (now it had been cleared up and renovated, thanks to Cyber Cam), and was meditating peacefully. Until now. "So, the rest of the prophecy is coming true." He murmured; his eyes wide open.

A/N- Don't shout at me! Please! If you are utterly and totally confused, don't worry! All will be revealed soon enough! Please don't go off the story if you don't understand, it really will make sense at the end!!!
Sorry you won't hear from me for a while, my life's a bit manic at the mo! Keep those reviews coming!
