Chapter 3: The First Fight and Baby

Carter woke up on the Aqua-Base, but this time he wasn't sharing a room with Joel or Chad. He looked over to see his wife fast asleep with a smile on her face. He placed a kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed to get into a shower.

Dana woke up and found her husband gone, but then she heard the shower going. She got up and went to join her husband.

Carter heard the shower door open and found his wife standing there. "May I join you?" She asked. Carter smiled and pulled Dana into the shower while kissing her.

After the shower, Carter went down to the meeting room while Dana got ready for the meeting. However, when she was about to leave, she felt nausea hit her. She ran into the bathroom and vomited.

Captain Mitchell was waiting for his daughter and then once she arrived, the meeting started. Carter looked at his wife with a quizzical look, but she didn't glance back at him. "Carter," Captain Mitchell called. Carter looked up and the meeting started again. "We know where they are thanks to Kalyani. However, they now have a force field around the cave. We can't enter, it's too dangerous and it's too powerful," he started. Dana felt sick again, but she blocked it away, she wasn't going to miss her first mission back as the Pink Ranger.

Rajani and Mahesh were watching the Pink Ranger with evil grins. "She seems to be carrying the symptoms of being with child," she commented.

"Yes, and we could use that to our advantage," Mahesh agreed.

Rajani nodded and decided to make their big appearance.

Suddenly, the alarms in the Aqua-Base went off. "It's show time," Joel commented. They nodded and ran to their yellow jeep.

When they came to the site, they saw many mutants surrounding Rajani and Mahesh. "Welcome, Power Rangers," Rajani greeted. They got out of the jeep and stared at them.

"Get out of Mariner Bay," Carter ordered.

"We like Mariner Bay, I think we'll stay," Mahesh insisted.

"Guys, ready?" Carter asked.

"READY!" They yelled.

"LIGHTSPEED RESCUE!"

"TITANIUM POWER!"

They morphed and got into their stances. "Let's go," Carter insisted.

"Right," they agreed.

Then they fought the mutants charging at them. When Dana was about to fight, nausea hit her again. "Oh, no!" She gasped. She fell to her knees only to get held down.

"DANA!" Carter yelled.

He ran over and protected his wife. Dana fell unconscious and the enemy disappeared. "Guys, we have to get Dana back to the base," he insisted. They nodded and got back into the jeep.

Angela was checking the unconscious Dana over while Carter held onto his wife's hand. "She's going to be just fine. However, she may have to stay out of fighting for awhile," she informed.

"Why, what's wrong with her?" Ryan asked.

Angela removed her glasses with a smile. "Nothing that won't clear up in nine months," she replied. Carter's eyes widened. He was going to be a father. A father for the very first time. Ryan placed a hand on Carter's shoulder, now it was time to tell Dana when she woke up.

Almost an hour later, Dana woke up and found her friends and family around her. "What happened?" She asked.

"You fell unconscious during the fight," Ryan replied.

"Am I going to be okay?" She asked worriedly.

She sat up but Carter pushed her back down gently. "Everything's going to be fine, Dana. However, I have news that'll surprise you," Carter replied.

"What is it, Carter?" She asked.

"You're pregnant," he replied.

Dana's eyes widened. "I'm pregnant?" She asked.

"Yes, three weeks pregnant to be exact," Angela replied.

Dana sat back in disbelief. "Wow, I'm going to be a mom," she murmured. Carter nodded with a smile. She then hugged him tight with a smile on her face. Everyone congratulated them with smiles on their faces.
