Chapter 8: Awake at Last

Kira was at the hospital again not knowing what to expect. She sighed as she looked at him. She gasped when his hand squeezed hers. "Connor?" She asked. Connor groaned and woke up.

"Kira?" He asked.

Tears of happiness welled up in her eyes to see that he was finally awake after three months of waiting. She removed his face mask and looked at him. "Connor, am I dreaming? Are you really awake?" She asked. Connor smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Kira, I'm awake," he croaked.

She hugged him tight and cried happy tears. Connor hugged her back and sighed happily. She then let him go and went to get a doctor.

When Dr. Roberts came in, Connor was sitting up in bed. "How are you feeling, Mr. McKnight?" He asked.

"My throat is a little scratchy, I'm a little hungry, but other than that I feel great," Connor replied.

"That's good news. I'll check you over and then we'll give you something to eat and drink," he assured.

Kira held onto Connor's hand and sighed. Connor smiled at her and then his lunch was brought up. "I've got to call everyone," She informed. She walked over to the phone and called Trent first. Trent was on his way over along with the rest of their friends and family. Connor felt something in his hand and opened his hand to reveal the locket Trini gave him in his dream. Written on the locket was a B and a C. "What's that?" She asked.

"Kira, you're not going to believe this," he stated.

"Try me," she insisted.

"While I was in the coma, I met this girl she had long dark hair, brown eyes, she was sneakers, blue jeans, a yellow t-shirt, and she had a headband in her hair."

"Not like your normal angel."

"Kira, she was the original Yellow Ranger. This was Trini."

"What did she say?"

"She showed me her family that she left behind. She showed me you too."

"What does this have to do with the necklace?"

"The initials on the locket are B and C. B C stands for Brittany Cranston. She was going to give this to her daughter, but because of her accident, she wasn't able to give it to her. She asked me to give it to her."

Kira smiled and touched his hand. "I have to find her family, Kira. Brittany needs to get this locket," he insisted. She touched his face.

"Don't worry, we'll find them," she assured.

Connor nodded before looking up to see his family and friends come in. "Hey, Connor, how are you feeling?" Tommy asked.

"Hey, Dr. O, I'm feeling great. However, I do have something to ask you," he replied.

"What is it?" Tommy asked.

"I am looking for someone by the name of Billy Cranston, do you know him?"

Kimberly sat down and Tommy placed a hand on her shoulder. "What?" Connor asked.

"We do know Billy. He was our best friend when we were in high school. However, after Trini's accident, Billy took his children and moved away. We haven't seen him since," Tommy replied.

"Well, I have something that belongs to his daughter. Trini gave me this locket so I could give to their daughter," he explained.

He held up the locket and Kimberly's eyes widened. She was with Trini the day she bought the locket. "We'll find him and we'll bring him to you," Hayley assured. Connor nodded and then after a little bit of visiting, they left Connor to rest. Kira refused to leave Connor's side and once everyone was gone, she crawled into bed with him. He wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled up against him. For so long she missed feeling his arms and now she finally felt the warmth after so long. Then they both fell asleep peacefully.
