AN: Hey guys, here's the next part from the very long chapter. :)

-

Once both Naomi and Ethan had both changed into their night clothes-Ethan now wearing the same thing he wore the night before-they both stood at opposite sides of the bed.

"So……I guess we should go to sleep now.." Naomi said.

"Yeah." Ethan replied, although neither made a move to get into bed. Naomi looked at him.

"…….Do you feel as weird about it as I do?" She asked. Ethan sighed and nodded.

"Which I don't get, I mean, we shared the bed last night."

"Yeah, but there's a bit of a difference between what we did yesterday and what we did today." Naomi pointed out. "I mean, now it's like……..different."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ethan said. "Should I sleep on the arm chair?" He suggested. "Or maybe Dr. Oliver's study.." He added, seeing as maybe even watching her sleep would be weird. Naomi seemed torn on the idea. Part of her wasn't sure if they should share the bed, but another part of her wanted to be next to him.

"I guess we should just…..Share the bed and see what happens…….I mean if either of us start to…….Feel really weird about it, then the sleeping arrangements can be changed." Naomi said.

"Good idea." Ethan said. Naomi pulled back the covers on her side of the bed and slid in as Ethan went and shut off the light. He had now gotten a feel of what was where in the dark so he had no trouble finding the bed and getting in on his side. "Good night." He said.

"Good night." She responded. She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She then turned to her other side, her back to him. Ethan couldn't stop himself as he reached over and put an arm around her waist and pulled her close so they now lay in a spooning position. Naomi didn't seem to mind. She placed one of her hands on top of his and leaned her head back, resting it against his chest. The two soon fell asleep in this position.

After staying by Conner's side for hours, Mrs. McKnight took Kyle and Eric back to the house. The doctor told them that they wanted to keep Conner in the hospital for a few more days to make sure he was fully recovered from surgery and that the swelling had actually gone down in his brain. Kira opted to stay with Conner a little longer. She sat by his side and watched him eat some hospital food.

"Man, if people weren't sick before they came to the hospital this stuff would definitely make them sick." Conner commented as he took another bite. Kira laughed.

"Then why are you still eating?" She asked.

"Because I'm hungry." Conner replied. "Hunger rules over all taste buds." Kira laughed again. She went to get up.

"I could try to get you someth-" She began but was stopped by Conner putting his hand on her wrist.

"No." He said. "I want you to stay right here." He said. She looked in his eyes, all joking ness had disappeared and all that remained was love and the need to have her near. Kira gave him a soft smile and sat back down.

"Okay." She said. Conner smiled broadly and continued eating. Kira's mind wondered to when he first woke up.

"..Oh….God…" She whispered. There was Conner with his eyes wide open, staring right at her.

"He..ey.." He said hoarsely, Kira figured it was because his throat was dry from not drinking any type of fluids this whole time. Tears came to her eyes. She wanted to run to him, or run and get a doctor, but she couldn't seem to move her feet, or her eyes. Conner gave her a smile. "What's up?" He asked coolly, as if he wasn't lying in a hospital bed and they were just sitting in the lunchroom at school or something. Kira couldn't help laugh a bit.

"Nothing much, you?" She asked.

"Pretty much the same. Just waking up in a hospital and seeing all these IV's in my arm. You know the usual." He said. Kira was torn. Her heart wanted her to rush into his arms and kiss him forever but she knew she should get the doctor. She cleared her throat.

"I…I'll go get the doctor." She said softly. She went outside and soon found Conner's doctor. She told him that Conner was awake. He tried to tell her that sometimes when people are in a coma, they might move or even open their eyes but it doesn't mean their awake, to which Kira replied "Well, his eyes are open, he's moving his head around, and oh yeah, he talked to me." The doctor's smug attitude vanished as he asked for two nurses to come with him. While they checked on Conner, Kira ran to the nearest payphone and excitedly called Tommy and Ethan, telling them to come to the hospital. After that, she went back to the now empty (except for Conner, of course.) hospital room where he seemed to be a little bit more alert and had the IVs taken out.

"I was worried you had run off or something." Conner said when he saw her, his voice still hoarse. Kira shook her head. She went to the side where a pitcher of water and some plastic cups sat on a table and poured some into a cup. She went and sat beside him.

"There's no chance of me going anywhere." She said. She put her hand behind his head and lifted it up a bit. She brought the cup to his lips and tilted it so he could drink. Conner coughed a bit. "Small sips, small sips." She told him softly. Conner did so. The cup was soon empty and she placed it on the side. "Do you want some more?" She asked. Conner shook his head.

"No, thanks." He said, his voice sounding better now that he had drunk some water. Kira smiled, and then paused.

"Oh crap." She said.

"What?"

"I called Ethan and Dr. O, but I forgot to call your mom." There was a phone on the table beside Conner's bed. She reached for it, but Conner stopped her.

"Let me do it." He said. Kira gave him a look. She could only imagine what Mrs. McKnight would say when she heard his voice. Kira sighed and shook her head. She lifted the receiver and handed it to him. Conner held it to his ear as she dialed his home phone. Conner smiled. "It's ringing." He informed her. After a while Conner's sat up a bit, Kira figured someone picked up. "Hey mom." He said. He then jumped and pulled the phone away from his ear a bit. Kira could hear his mom yelling something indistinctively. Conner waited until it died down a bit and brought the phone back to his ear. "Hey…..Yeah I'm all right……..The doctor checked me out and everything….Yeah…….Okay…..I'll see you." He then handed the phone to Kira and she hung up for him. He looked at her. "After my mom nearly fainted and everything, Eric took the phone from her. He was a bit surprised too." Conner smirked. "They'll be here in a bit."

"Okay." She said. Conner pressed a button on his bed and made the top part of his bed tilt up a bit so he wasn't lying down anymore. He looked at Kira. "What?" She asked.

"There's one thing I've been dying to do since I woke up." He said.

"Oh..Oh gosh, yeah, you must be hungry. Let me go see if I can find you anything." She got up. Conner caught her wrist and pulled her to him. She stumbled and ended up landing on the bed right next to him.

"That's not what I meant." He said. Conner leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss. Kira good feel the hallelujah chorus going off in her head. She had missed Conner's kisses so much. They slowly elevated into making out, and then that's when the others showed up.

"Kira?" She shook her head as Conner's voice broke into her thoughts. She looked at him.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing, you just seemed to be spaced out." He said. He looked at her. Should I tell her the stuff I saw about our future? He wondered. Nah…..At least one of us should get to be surprised. He reached over and held her hand in his. Kira smiled at him. She leaned in and gave him a soft kiss. "What was that for?" He asked.

"Just me being still glad you're all right." She said.

"Hmm, you know what? I'm a little dumb, so maybe you should tell me how glad you are again." Conner smiled. Kira laughed and kissed him again and again….and again.

"Is that enough?" She asked with a smirk.

"For now, I guess." Conner said. Kira laughed again.

"I love you." She said. Conner looked at her.

"What? I thought you said you weren't sure." Conner said, surprised.

"Well, now I am sure." She said. She sighed. "When we were in the car, and I woke up and saw you lying there, not moving, I got scared. Scared that you might be dead, and scared of how my life would feel empty and meaningless without you in it."

"So, you're saying that if we weren't in the accident, you wouldn't feel this way?" Conner asked.

"No, I still would, it just would've taken maybe another week or so for me to realize that it was love." Kira said with a smile. "Why are you complaining anyway?" She asked. "I would think you'd like the news."

"I do." Conner said. "I just……If you're saying just because of what happened then-" Kira leaned in and silenced him with a long, slow and passionate kiss, much like the one he gave her that night Eric first arrived on his front porch. After it ended, Conner stared at her.

"Whoa." He breathed out. Kira kissed the tip of his nose.

"So, now you believe me?" She asked. Conner numbly nodded, still trying to recover from the kiss. Kira couldn't help laugh.

"Good." She said. "And just so you know, as much as I love you, you ever scare me like that again, and I will severely hurt you." She threatened.

"Yes ma'am." Conner said. Kira smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

Two weeks passed. It seemed that Trent dropped out of school, which made it all right for Naomi and Ethan to return to school. Of course, even with the disappearance of Trent, Ethan refused to let her out of her sight, just to be safe. Not that Naomi minded that much. Conner returned to school, although not to ranger business. Tommy wanted him to recover a little bit more and take it easy before he tried to do anything major. Conner joked saying he had a vacation, but in reality he felt a little useless standing in the sidelines while his teacher, best friend and girlfriend were able to fight. Yes, Kira's wrist healed perfectly and she took back her gem. Kimberly and Tommy decided to wait a while before sharing the news of their engagement with everyone else. Kimberly thought it was because Tommy wanted to wait until they tied up some problems with the bad guys, but it reality, Tommy wanted to postpone the announcement until he could get Kimberly the perfect engagement ring. Ethan and Naomi were still trying to define what their relationship was and so didn't tell the others about their kissing escapades until they were sure there was something to tell. At the moment, the only ones who knew were Kimberly and Tommy. In their effort to define what they were, Naomi and Ethan didn't mind spending time in the janitor's closet, or an empty class room, or each other's houses while empty, kissing. As for Eric and Kyle, Kyle went back to Blue Bay Harbor the day after Conner woke up, but came back to visit whenever he had the chance. Eric didn't go to visit him for the simple fact of risking the chance of running into his father. Kyle understood, and even told him that if Eric had tried to come to Blue Bay, he would've tried his hardest to talk him out of it. In terms of backstage ranger duties, Naomi was able to get Haley to start showing her how the computers in the underground lab worked so now the rangers had two computer whizzes helping them out during battles. It was now getting closer and closer to summer vacation and the teens were excitedly talking about what their plans might be. Kyle had invited Eric to Arizona with his family and Eric had accepted. The others were sticking close to home and decided to plan out their days together filled with day trips, visits to the beach, concerts in the park, and many other things. At the moment, the rangers, Naomi, Kimberly, Trini and Haley all sat in the park for a picnic. Tommy had set it up, saying he had something important to say. Little did he know, Kimberly had something important to say too.

It was a sunny Saturday afternoon as they all sat in the park. Kira and Conner were sitting together with their arms around each other, Tommy and Kimberly were sitting next to each other and Trini-who had now taken up calling Tommy 'daddy' on a regular basis once she was told it was all right-was sitting on Tommy's lap. Naomi, Ethan and Haley sat together. Naomi wanted to sit with Ethan the same way Conner and Kira were, but she knew they weren't ready to go public about what was going on between them just yet.

"So, Dr. O, what's this big news you want to share with us all?" Conner asked. Tommy smiled and looked at Kimberly. She looked a little stressed. She looked at him and knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Uh…..Tommy, can I talk to you for a second?" She asked. Tommy nodded. Trini got up and sat on the blanketed ground and Tommy got up. Kimberly stood up and dusted some grass off the back of her white sundress. She took Tommy's hand and they went off to the side.

"I wonder what's going on." Naomi said. Kimberly led Tommy far enough, making sure they were out of earshot, before stopping and looking at him.

"What's up?" Tommy asked. Kimberly took a deep breath.

"Okay, well, uh, you know how lately I haven't been feeling too great?" She asked. Tommy nodded.

"Yeah, we thought you caught the flu or something." Tommy said. Per Kimberly's request, Tommy had kept Trini at a distance from her mother for the last few days because they thought she was sick and they didn't want Trini catching it.

"Oh, it's definitely something." Kimberly said softly. Tommy looked at her, unsure what she was saying. "Tommy, I……….I had one of the other OB/GYN's at the hospital check me out after I realized I was late….I……." Kimberly took another deep breath. "I'm pregnant." She said. Tommy stared at her.

"What?" He asked, barely above a whisper. Kimberly gulped, her mind flashing back to Anton's reaction when she told him about Trini. She was afraid Tommy would leave her alone, just like Anton did.

"I'm pregnant….With your child." She said, her voice shaking.
