disclaimer: I don't own the power rangers. Also I don't own Zeri, Saryn, Aura and Cetaci and any other ranger from Aquintar, I read their names on Starhawk's website and thought they were kool.
timeline: Nine years after 'Better Late Than Never'.
summary: Something has it's eyes set on ranger children. Every ranger is scared of losing his or her family, especially Andros.
the-power-of-love; Sad isn't it? But that's the whole point of the story. ::grins:: Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Jeanka; Hope you got the chart and understand how it works.
Tori Bradley; The Ninja Storm Rangers? Good question. It's not as if I don't like them or something, I think they're great, but after In Space everybody knew the identity of the Rangers for at least two series and in the first episode Tori and Sean tell Dustin everybody knows the Power Rangers aren't real. My conclusion: PRNS takes places another dimension or something. Explaining why they aren't with the meeting. I'll put them in somewhere if you want.
Protecting The Next Generation
Chapter 8
A few hour had passed when two teleportation beams announced the arrival of Tommy and Kimberly on the bridge of the Megaship. Cetaci and Delphinius had left with Sarlahe because she had practically been falling asleep. The only ones who were on the bridge at the moment were Andros and Paige. In Kimberly's arms lay her eleven month old son. He had been asleep, but the teleporting woke him up.
"Did you have to do that?" Kimberly asked him with a tired face.
"He's probably just not used to teleporting." Andros offered.
"No, he isn't, but that doesn't get him quiet." Kim sighed and suddenly put one hand on her swollen belly. "Hey you, one troublesome baby is enough, so keep still."
"Need a hand?" Paige offered.
Kim looked at Andros who nodded.
"Alright, but be careful." Kim said, handing her the baby.
Paige started to rock the little boy as soon as he was settled in her arms. It didn't take long before the wailing turned into whimpering.
"How do you do that?" Tommy wanted to know. "I can never get him quiet unless I put my finger or his bottle in his mouth."
"It's a gift." Paige smirked. "What's his home, by the way."
"Keith." Kim answered. "Now, I heard Billy was around here somewhere."
"Someone called my name?" Billy asked, entering the bridge.
"Billy!" Kimberly exclaimed.
"Kimmy." Billy smiled and walked over to hug her.
While he was hugging her, the baby decided to kick again and Billy pulled back.
"Someone doesn't like me." He smiled.
"Don't be silly, it's just its way of saying 'hi'." Kimberly laughed.
"Its?" Billy asked.
"Her." Tommy cut in. "It's going to be a beautiful little girl, just like her mommy."
"You hope, it could be a handsome little boy too." Kimberly retorted.
"No, it's going to be a girl, I can feel it."
"Whatever."
"You don't know if it's going to be a boy or a girl?" Billy asked.
"No, I want it to be a surprise." Kim smiled.
"But it's going to be a girl." Tommy piped.
"Don't mind him, Billy, he's just jealous of Zack."
"And those PhD's are effecting his brains." Jason joked, who just teleported in with Trini, Zack, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Kat, Tanya and Justin.
"PhD's effecting my brains? You must be dreaming, Jason." Tommy retorted.
"That's impossible, Jase." Zack grinned. "You know he doesn't have them."
"Very funny, Zack."
At that moment Zeri walked onto the bridge and the baby boy in Trini's arms made himself noticed by starting to cry.
"Great, now we've got two whining babies." Tommy joked.
"Zeri can get him quiet in no time." Paige said, looking up form the baby in her arms.
Zeri, who was standing behind Paige, playing with Keith, nodded.
"Hear that, Tom, you got your own private babysitter aboard this ship." Zack joked.
The boy just started to cry harder as Trini handed him to Zeri.
"You know how to do this, right?" Trini asked a bit worried.
"Yeah." Zeri replied. "And I'm sure uncle Andros keeps an eye on us."
Andros flashed her a quick smile and turned back to whatever he was doing.
"Hey, Andros, is there a place in here where we could catch up?" Jason asked.
"Observatory, Simudeck, Work bay, name it." Andros replied.
"Work bay holds the Synthetron, right?" Tommy asked.
"That's right."
"Work bay?" Tommy asked Jason.
"Work bay." Jason grinned.
The other former rangers looked at each other strangely, but followed Andros of the bridge anyway. Soon they found themselves work bay. (A/N: Formally know as jump bay, my online writer's guide source said it was work bay, so that's how I'll call it from now on. If you are wondering this is the link to that site; , it's really handy.)
"Keep on eye on our children, will you Andros?" Kimberly asked.
"Don't worry, I will and Paige and Zeri are perfectly capable of taking care of them. After all Armin is the only one older than the two of them." Andros smiled.
"And there's only half an hour between Armin and Paige, right?" Tommy grinned.
"That's right. Well, I'm going back t the bridge."
"Bye." The rangers said and turned to each other.
"So, what did I miss?" Billy grinned.
"Tommy and Kimmy getting back together for one." Rocky grinned.
"Rocky hooking up with what's her name again and having a son." Tommy fired back.
"Zack finally getting Angela and having a daughter of course." Jason cut in.
"Aisha and Adam getting together." Zack smiled.
"Tanya moving in with her boyfriend." Aisha started.
"And planning on having a baby with him." Adam finished.
"Kat hooking up with a guy from her school in England and agreeing to marry him next month." Tanya took over.
"Justin marrying, getting a son and his wife dying after giving birth." Kat said.
"And Jason and Trini hooking up, marrying and having Tom." Justin finished the round.
Billy turned to Jason.
"Tom is your son?" He asked surprised.
"Who else would name their son after Tommy?" Trini grinned.
"But Tommy didn't name his son after Jason." Billy observed.
"That's because they didn't tell us they were naming their son after me and Keith was born a month earlier." Tommy defended.
"And if this sweetheart is a boy we'll name him Jace." Kimberly smiled, placing a hand on her belly.
"What if it's a girl?" Rocky asked.
"It is going to be a girl and her name will be Shadiah." Tommy grinned.
"There we go again." Jason rolled his eyes.
"What about you, Billy? Do you have any children?" Adam asked.
"Not yet."
