Taylor was in complete and utter disbelief. There was a giant blue dog pushing her wheelchair down the halls of Bio Lab. A week had passed and she and Eric were being shown the progress the new organization was making.

"And if you look over here Lieutenant, you'll see the latest in digital containment being tested," Cruger said. Taylor looked through a large window and saw a dummy being blasted with a wave of light.

"Where did he go?" she asked as the dummy disappeared.

"Into a small card that we'll use to contain criminals."

"Save space in the prisons," she said. "How long can they be contained?"

"We're still working on that, but potentially for life if the sentence calls for it," the dog said. Taylor grinned. This was going to be fun. "As soon as you're fully healed and ready, the weaponry will be tested as well as certain plans of defense and tactics. That is if it's alright with you?" he asked. Taylor was technically his superior right now.

She smiled. "It all sounds great to me… almost too good to be true," she said as they came to another room. She saw Eric standing talking to who she assumed to be Dr. Manx. He had already explained to her that Kat was, in fact, a cat. There were five others in the room, donned in white lab coats and masks. "What are they doing in there?"

Cruger pushed the entry button on the door and wheeled her inside. "These are five of the best in their field… they're working on the morphers." Taylor's eyebrows lifted.

"So there are definitely going to be rangers?" Cruger nodded as Eric and Kat joined them. Eric grinned at her.

"Pretty cool huh?" he said. He introduced Kat to Taylor and then Kat introduced the others in the room.

"This is Jonathon Drew," she said as a man with blonde hair shook Taylor's hand. "He's a genius with metals and geology."

Taylor saw a pair of tall African Americans and Kat grinned. "Melissa and Jackson Landors… they're testing the durability of the suits using molecular deconstruction." Taylor shook their hands and saw that, like her, Melissa was pregnant. "This is our electronics master, Jack Carson," Kat said as Taylor shook hands with him. A young girl came over next. "This is Kay. She's our assistant." Taylor shook hands with the young redheaded woman.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Eric smirk. She looked over to the back of the lab and saw another person… their face was hidden from her.

"And last but not least, our environmental expert. He has an extensive background in botany and we're hoping he can equip the rangers with enough protection against elements," Kat said as the new person turned.

If Taylor was shocked before, this blew her away.

"Daniel Delgado," Kat said. Danny walked over to Taylor and bent down to hug her.

"Danny? How is this possible?" she asked grinning. She trusted Danny, but had no clue how he had gotten involved.

"Well, at your reception Mr. Collins came over to me and we sort of got to talking. He figured with my knowledge of plants and stuff AND being a ranger would help," he said smiling. Taylor had grown to trust Alan Collins like a father. She and the others agreed that their ranger secret was safe with him.

"Wow," was all she said.

"We're just about to conduct our first test of the day," Kat said. Eric stood next to Taylor as Danny and the rest of his fellow scientists gathered around a table and took up a few beakers and other instruments.

They watched as different chemicals were joined… but something happened then that was unexpected. There was a bright light throughout the room, and a sort of… tingling feeling went through everyone in the room… everyone except Cruger and Kat.

Eric felt it and immediately had his mind on Taylor and the babies. "Are you ok?" he asked nervously. Taylor thought for a moment and felt the familiar stirring in her belly from them.

"I think so," she said. She looked over and saw Jackson saying much of the same to Melissa. Kat knew something was wrong and decided to call it a day for everyone. Neither she nor Cruger knew what had happened, but they would find out in the not so distant future…

Five months passed by quickly in Silver Hills and Taylor was feeling like a beached whale. Things at Bio Lab had been going great and as soon as she delivered she was more than ready to get to work.

The incident in the lab that day had shown no side effects to anyone, and they all just assumed that they were fine…

"Eric? Can you get me some ginger ale?" she called from the living room. Eric was in his office and sighed. Taylor had been ordered to bed rest until the twins were born. He had resorted to working from home for the past two weeks, and it was starting to get to him.

Alyssa and Jen had stopped by before he had come home, and it was times like this when he wished they were still there. He had a ton of work to do before the twins came, but he knew batter than to make Taylor upset or angry. Her hormones had been crazy lately and it was all he could do not to lose it.

He entered the kitchen and got her drink. "Eric?" she called again. "No ice." Eric sighed and dumped the drink out and got a new one with no ice. "I changed my mind," she said a moment later. He gritted his teeth and retrieved some ice from the freezer. Walking out into the living room, he saw her staring at a book.

His mind drifted back to the first day they kissed… he placed the glass down and snuck up behind her, taking the book from her hands.

"You know I can't chase you," she said annoyed. "Can I please have my book back?" he just grinned at her and pretended to read it. "And where's my drink?" she asked sweetly. Eric sighed and handed her the glass. "Thank you," she said as she took a long sip.

He sat down at the end of the couch and placed her legs on his lap. "Are they done yet?" he asked.

"Stop treating me like an oven… they're not cooking in there you know."

"I'm just trying to put you in a better mood."

"Mission unaccomplished." Eric sighed and handed her the book back. He stood and began to walk away when he heard her begin to whimper. "I'm sorry," she said softly. "I don't know what's wrong with me."

He crouched down next to her and kissed her cheek, placing a hand on her stomach. "Taylor, you're pregnant. It's expected… I wouldn't want it any other way."

Taylor wiped her eyes. "Why are you being so nice to me? I've been a total bitch for the last month."

"Honey, you were a total bitch when I met you," he said smiling. She made a face and was about to yell at him when he leaned up and kissed her lips softly. "And I'm sure you're going to be one for years to come. But in a few weeks you can't use them as an excuse." He kissed her stomach and she smiled then.

"Well you're a pompous asshole." He kissed her again.

"Why thank you. I've worked very hard to become so," he retorted. This could have gone on all day if Taylor hadn't felt a new sensation come over her…

Eric saw her face twist in a look of pain and immediately went on alert. "What's wrong?" he asked.

Taylor felt another pain and gripped his arm.

"I think we need to get to the hospital…"
