-Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers.
AN: Here's chapter 2, enjoy and please review!
I am pushing back the beginning of Dino Thunder a little bit for the purpose of this story. It has been three years since Lothor and Veridian were defeated. Toran is now seven years old. Danielle Park is five, Jason Oliver is 4, and Alyssa Desantos is 4 also. Tommy got his degree in paleontology shortly after Lothor's defeat and has been involved with Anton Mercer in the last few years. The story picks up at the beginning of Dino Thunder. Also, the Ninja Storm rangers never lost their powers.
Also, if you have not read Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf, please do so, or you will surely be confused. Thanks and enjoy!

Chapter 2: Babysitting Troubles
Hunter Bradley dismissed his students and swabbed his forehead with a towel. The students exited and a familiar ranger entered the dojo.
"Hey there, how's it going?" Tori asked.
"Hey Tor, what's up?" Hunter asked.
"Not much, just wanted to know if you like to babysit with me tonight," Tori asked, hoping he would say yes. It had been three years since Blake had left and the spark between he and Tori just wasn't there anymore. Hunter and she had spent a lot of time together in the past few years. A real attraction had developed and they really loved spending time together. They weren't an official couple yet, but Tori hoped that would change soon.
"So who are we babysitting?" Hunter asked.
"Just my nephew Toran, my niece Larisa, and little Jason. We'll be teleporting to Reefside, since Billy and Kat are going out with Tommy and Kim for the night. I was hoping you'd come, you know how Toran adores you," Tori said. Hunter chuckled, since he happened to be quite fond of Toran himself.
"Sure I'll come, just let me grab a quick shower," Hunter replied.
"Sure, I'll meet you back at Ninja Opts and then we'll teleport," Tori said, as she gave him a kiss on the cheek and shyly left. Hunter retreated to the bathroom grinning from ear to ear.
Billy and Tommy were in the living room, waiting on the girls to get ready.
"Okay Toran, stand behind her in case she falls," Billy said, as his daughter tried to stand.
"Da!" she called, as she succeeded in standing, making sure her father was paying attention.
"Come on angel, you can do it," Billy coached, as he held his arms out to her. Larisa wobbled and swayed, but managed to walk the ten steps into her dad's arms.
"That's my girl," Billy praised her, as he set her down in his lap. Kat and Kim were coming down the stairs and witnessed most of the scene.
"Mama, Larisa walked all by herself!" Toran said.
"I know, she did great," Kat said, as she kissed his forehead and then her baby's forehead. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Toran and little Jason scampered for the door, knowing who is was.
"Uncle Hunter, Aunt Tori!" Toran cheered.
Toran and Jason attempted to tackle Hunter, but instead they were each lifted into one of his arms and carried under each arm like a stack of books. Tori just rolled her eyes and mumbled something about boys. Tori entered after Hunter and took her niece from her cousin.
"Thanks for watching them tonight," Kat said.
"No problem, you know we love to. Besides, the big kid fits right in with the little kids," Tori said, as she pointed to Hunter, who was wrestling with the two boys.
"Jase, you be good for Tori and Hunter," Kim said.
"Okay mommy," Jason replied.
"You too Toran," Kat told her son.
"Okay mama," Toran replied.
"Bye sweetie," Kat said, as she kissed her baby daughter. The four adults left and Tori ordered pizzas for the big people. While they were waiting, Tori fed Larisa. After they ate and watched a kid's movie, Tori and Hunter decided to take them on a walk to the park while it was still light out.
We must come up with a plan to destroy Dr. Oliver," Zeltrax ranted.
"Zeltrax, you have a one track mind and that's probably why you always fail. Fortunately, I have a plan," Elsa said.
"And what might that be?" Zeltrax asked.
"Simple. Some of the rangers have left their brats with the babysitters. We kidnap the brats and then we have the parents begging at our feet to return their precious toddlers unharmed," Elsa said.
"Excellent idea Elsa. Proceed with this plan, but do not fail me or you will regret it. Make the rangers beg for mercy on their children, but be merciless," Mesagog said.
"Yes master," Elsa obeyed.
Hunter and Tori pushed Larisa's stroller together, while the two boys led the way. They stopped to sit on the bench and let the boys play with the soccer ball Connor had given them. Tori lifted Larisa out of the stroller and cradled her on her lap. Larisa grinned through her pacifier and clapped her hands.
"She's the cutest," Hunter mentioned.
"Yeah, thanks for babysitting with me," Tori said.
"Don't mention it, I love spending time with the kids. And I especially love spending time with you," Hunter replied, which caused Tori to blush. Their moment was broken by the cries of the boys.
"Oh no," Hunter said. The boys were surrounded by Elsa, Zeltrax, and a platoon of Tyrannodrones.
"Are we clear?" Tori asked.
"Yeah, let's morph," Hunter answered.
"Ninja Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!" Tori called.
"Thunder Storm, Ranger Form, Ha!" Hunter called.
"Power of Water!" Tori called.
"Power of Thunder!" Hunter called. Toran and Jason rushed over to them. Toran stood protectively in front of his baby sister, who was back in her stroller. The Crimson and Blue rangers jumped into the fight.
Tommy, Kim, Billy, and Kat just exited the restaurant when Tommy was alerted.
"Tommy, Elsa has attacked Tori and Hunter in the park. I think Mesagog is after the children," Hayley deduced.
"All right, thanks Hayley. Alert Connor and the others," Tommy said, as he Billy, and the girls dashed off for the park.
Hunter and Tori were being overwhelmed but were soon relieved when three new rangers arrived. They knew that these new rangers must be the new team of Dino Thunder rangers.
Billy, Kat, Tommy, and Kim arrived next, only in time to see Elsa pick up baby Larisa. She had the two boys restrained by her minions.
"Larisa!" Kat cried. The one-year-old began to whimper and fuss, not recognizing Elsa.
"Let her go!" Billy growled.
"Come and get the little brat!" Elsa challenged.
"It's Morphin Time!" Billy called fiercely.
"Dino Thunder, power up, Ha!" Tommy called.
"Ninjetti, The Crane!" Kim called.
"Ninjetti, The Wolf!" Billy and Kat called.
The rangers jumped into the fray of battle, trying to fight their way to their children.
"Say goodbye to your little ones," Elsa said, as an invisi-portal opened up behind her.
"NO!" Kat cried. Tori jumped at Elsa and was caught in the portal, taking her to Mesagog's ship with Elsa and the three children.
"Tori!" Hunter cried.
"No!" Kat cried. Billy quickly demorphed and comforted his wife.
"They're just babies," Kat cried.
"We'll get them back angel-girl. And I know that Tori will do whatever she can to protect them," Billy said. Tommy comforted Kim.
"This is my fault. I let them get the kids and I let them get Tori," Hunter said.
"Hey man, it's not your fault," Connor said.
"Connor is right, we don't blame you," Kat replied. But Hunter was unconvinced. He had wasted so much time hiding his feelings for Tori. He had always feared that he would hurt Blake, even though he and Tori had barely seen each other in the last two years. Blake was touring the world, making a name for himself in the Motocross world. But Tori needed a man who could be there for her, she herself had told him that. Hunter made up his mind. He would save Tori and the kids. Then, he would reveal his feelings for her, whether or not she returned them. He knew that something had started between them and now they had to decide if they wanted more than just friendship. Hunter knew that he did and he couldn't help but hope that Tori did as well.
AN: Hope you liked it! Will they be able to rescue Tori and the kids? Will Hunter reveal his feelings for Tori and does she feel the same? Find out in chapter 3, coming soon!
