"But in your story, you didn't pick anyone," Ann pointed out.

"At that moment in my life, I wasn't ready to make a decision like that. Once I got my life in order, I started dating your mother. Shortly after that, your mother and I were married. You were born a year later, and the rest is history," he explained.

"So you were a Power Ranger?" she asked.

"Yes, but that was a long time ago. Now I'm just a teacher. Its important that you don't tell anyone else about this, not even your brother," he said.

"Can I talk to mom about it?"

"Your mother would go crazy if she knew I told you. We promised that we would never tell you or Jason about it. We wanted the two of you to have normal lives. You can't tell anyone about this."

"I won't daddy, I promise."

"I know you won't sweetie," he leaned down, kissing her on the forehead. "Its way passed your bedtime, get some rest," he told her, standing up.

"Goodnight daddy."

"Goodnight baby," he said, walking out the room.

He quickly walked down the hall, peeking in on Jason, who was already fast asleep, then headed back to his room, where his wife was fast asleep. He closed the door behind him, then walked over to her, kissing her warmly on the cheek. "Sorry I took so long honey, Ann wanted to hear a bedtime story," he said.

She opened her eyes slowly, smiling slightly. "You spoil her, you know that?"

"What can I say? She's daddy's little girl."

Tommy took off his housecoat, tossing it on the chair across the room, then climbed into bed. His wife rolled over, resting her head on his chest as he wrapped his arm around her. "Do you regret any of it? Making the decision you made, settling down, starting a family?" she asked him.

He recalled how difficult it was for him to come to a decision; how stressful things were for him at the time. Picking one person that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, or worse, trying to determine who he didn't want to be with. It was a decision that he was sure, in his opinion, he didn't make lightly, but he was convinced he'd made the right choice. After all, he and his wife had history together. They'd worked together to save the world from evil, they'd grown together, shared experiences with one another that many other people never had a chance to. Sure, there were times when he thought about how his life would have been different if he'd made a different decision, but there were no regrets.

"No, none of it. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing," he paused. "Well maybe one thing."

"What?"

"I wouldn't have taken you to a dino exhibit on our first date," he said.

She smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too, Hayley," he sighed.
