"Trini! Open the door!! You can't stay in your room and sulk forever, you know?" Zack shouted to the door. It's been three days since Jason left, and all Trini has done is stay in her room. He knew she was hurting, but this is unhealthy and it needed to be changed now.

"Trini! You have three seconds to open this door or I'm breaking it down! I do not want to bond with your door, which I have named BOB, as much as I already have!" Trini chuckled, her eyes swollen and puffy from all her tears. She gradually got up and put on her bathrobe. She knew she wasn't going to get away from Zack this time. :::It's time to tell him:::

"One...."

"Two...."

"Two and a Half....."

Trini opened the door just as Zack was about to say three. As soon as the door opened, Zack saw her red puffy eyes and how frail looking she was. Zack quickly gave her the biggest hug in the world to show how much he cared.

"I was so concerned about you... Everyone's been worried about you. Kim's called, Billy's called, everyone's called..."

"But Jason."

Zach sighed as they sat on the bed and he hugged her shoulders and said, "He's hurting too you know. Plus, he's stubborn like that. But, I still don't understand why you broke up with him. You love him and I can see how much this is hurting you. I mean the only time you would come out would be for class and everyone at the conference was saying how distraught you look. Please don't be doing a Kimberly and the letter thing. You and I both know how big of mistake that was and how much Kimberly is hurting from that too."

"Zack... Kimberly and my circumstances are completely different. She did it because she didn't want him to be alone and unhappy and she knew that Catherine would gladly keep him company... I did it because... I knew I had to."

"You knew you had to??? Trini, what are you talking about? Is it the distance thing? Because you know, I know you and Jason can survive the distance. I watched you two fall in love, I know that your love is a lot stronger than a few thousand miles. So tell me why."

"Zack, if I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone from back home."

"Trini, please! You know I would never betray your confidence like that. You are like my sister, I would never... you know that."

"I know. But this is bigger than you think... Zack," sighing heavily, "I'm pregnant Zack. I've taken numerous pregnancy tests and the doctor confirmed it before Jason left. I'm about 2 months along now."

"You're.... Pregnant?? I think I need to sit down."

"Zack... you are sitting down."

"Oh right. Did you tell him? Cuz if you did and he left you like this??? Best friend or not, I'll kick his butt and.."

"ZACK!" yelled Trini, "I didn't tell him. He was determined to become the gold ranger. I had to let him go this way."

"But why?"

"Because I feared for his life and the life of our child. As much as I loved being part of the Power Rangers, I do not want our child to be in that kind of danger. Plus, if Lord Zedd knew about this, I would be a walking target for him to kidnap and use against the power rangers. Not only that Zack, but had Jason known before he left, he wouldn't have taken the Gold Ranger powers and regretted it for the rest of his life. I don't want my child to be a regret nor do I want Jason to stay here because of a child we created together... I just can't Zack..." She laid her head on his shoulder as the tears started to roll down. "That's why I'm not going to tell him."

"What??!? Trini, I'm pretty sure we will see the rangers eventually and you can't hide away forever. And Although, I'm 100 sure you will be a great mother, your child deserves to know his father. I mean, I'm almost sure that your baby will grow up and someday ask you who his father is... and you can't let Jason not see his first born grow up. This is his baby too... Unless you're thinking of ... you know... are you?"

"Am I what?"

"Are you thinking about ... Abortion?" Zack shuttered. He fully believed in pro-choice, but only in the extreme circumstances, like rape and incest.

"I have to say I did think about it. I mean I'm 18 years old, I can't have a child; I am a child. This is a huge responsibility and I had so many other goals to fulfill, like going to college, getting a degree, doing more traveling... But, I don't think I have the heart to have an abortion. This child was created with love... and I just couldn't destroy something Jason and I made together.. no matter how corny that sounds."

"Good for you Tri." Zack smiled for his very best friend and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Look no matter what you decide about telling Jason, although I fully believe you should but understand the circumstances, I will be here for you 100 no matter what."

Trini smiled and gave Zack the biggest hug she could give. "Thank you for being there Zack. I knew I could count on you."

"What are you going to do now though, Tri? Will the conference let you stay?"

"Well, I haven't talked to the board yet, but hopefully they will let me stay and if so, I'll stay till the 8 month, which I'll go back to Angel Grove to have this baby. Angel Grove is my home, maybe it could be my baby's too."

"The Rangers are at Angel Grove though."

"I know. But Angel Grove is pretty big place and I could always live in Stone Canyon, which is far enough to avoid, but close enough to home."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Yeah... I can do this; if not for me then for my child."

Angel Grove

Ernie's Juice Bar

"Jase, have I told you how great it is to have you back on the team!?!" Tommy smiled as he patted his hand on Jason's shoulder.

"Hey man. It's great to be back...Being a ranger again, the intensity, the power, the thrill of it all once again, it's just great... " Jason said as he attempted to smile.

"Still thinking about Trini?" Tommy asked with concern, knowing what happened the night he left. ::: Talk about being on the same boat... I wonder where Kim is now anyways... and if that Brian guy is ... ugh::: Tommy shuttered at the thought.

"I still just can't believe that she doesn't want to be with me because of the distance."

"Hey, you don't know that. She didn't really tell you a reason, did she?"

"No... but there isn't any other reason I can possibly think of. Our relationship was fine before this; I love her and .... I thought she loved me. But if she can break up with me because of this distance, then maybe she didn't love me at all."

"I felt the same way when Kimberly broke up with me, and at least you know it wasn't for someone else... Tommy winched and reminded himself that he has another girlfriend that isn't Kim. "Anyways, I'm sure Trini had better reasons than the distance. I mean she asked you to stay with her Jase and you didn't. Maybe she felt that you didn't love her."

"Tri knows I love her, and she knows why I left. If Zack and Trini were asked, I know without a doubt that they would have taken the position of the gold ranger too. It's in our blood, man. Its part of us forever; the responsibility, the bond, everything."

"I..."

"Hey Jase... the blonde girl over there sent you this smoothie..." Ernie stated and pointed to this girl, wearing a leather jacket, sitting at the bar. She gave Jason a seductive smile and waved to him.

Tommy grinned. ::: This girl will definitely keep Jason's mind off of Trini...::: "Hey Jase, you should go thank her for the drink."

"Tommy... I don't know..."

"Look I'm going to do what the others did for me when Kim broke up with me... and that's to keep your mind off of Trini..."

"She doesn't look like my type..."

"I didn't say to ask her out... just thank her for the drink man."

"All right all right." Jason smiled as he got out of his chair and approached the juice bar. ::: Here goes nothing...:::

"Hey thanks for the drink. That was real thoughtful of you."

"No problem... I thought you might have been thirsty." She smiled and coyly hinted for Jason to sit in the free seat next to her.

Jason graciously took the seat and smiled. "I'm Jason. Jason Lee Scott."

"I'm Emily. Emily Andrews."
