Chapter 2
Despite leading the buys lives of a veterinarian and an air force mechanic/pilot, Cole and Taylor somehow always managed to find a way to spend time with each other. Although it had been about 3 years since the two former rangers had their climactic battle with Master Org, better known as Viktor Adler. The two always managed to find time for each other. A lot had happened in those three years. But right now all of that did not matter, right now all that mattered, was the fact that Cole was spending time with Taylor. Time well deserved.
"Taylor! Cole! Wait up!" called a voice from behind the young couple/parents. Cole's ears perked up, no way, there was just no way that it be him. But it was him; it was Max Cooper, a former Wildforce Power Ranger, just like himself. Running alongside him was Danny Delgado, another former ranger.
Smiling happily, Cole tapped Taylor on the shoulder before greeting his friends. "Hey guys!" Taylor turned around and also smiled, before waving.
Max and Danny came to a screeching halt when they saw the blue baby carriage that Taylor was pushing. "Uh….."
"Is that a…" began Max.
"Baby Carriage?" finished Taylor, a tone of amusement was present in her voice, "Yeah, it is."
"Do you two run a baby-sitting service or something?" asked Danny skeptically.
Taylor and Cole exchanged glances, before they burst out laughing; even the baby started laughing happily. The laughter went on for sometime before it finally died down. "Ok…" muttered Max, "I guess running a baby-sitting service is out of the question."
"Duh." Said Taylor sarcastically. "Isn't it obvious?"
"Isn't what obvious?" asked Danny innocently. Max slapped his forehead in frustration.
Taylor and Cole did not bother to respond. Instead, the two former rangers raised their hands to show off the matching gold and silver wedding bands worn on their hands. Obviously the two were more than friends, hell they were definitely more than friends with touching privileges.
"Wait you two are…." Started Danny.
"Married?" finished Cole. "Yeah we are."
"Is it that hard to believe?" asked Taylor raising an eyebrow. It was obvious, that she was offended.
"Uh, no it's just that. We always thought you two hated each other." Danny quickly answered. "I mean you two were always at each other's necks back when we were rangers."
Taylor and Cole looked at each other affectionately. "Well, yeah I was angry when Cole took my place as leader of the team, and threw out all the rules, I spent hours thinking up of. But…"
"But?" echoed Max
"But, I eventually realized that I was wrong about him. Sure he was a bit strange to me at first, but I eventually realized that he was a better leader, and a better ranger." Finished Taylor. "And that's when I realized that I was in love with him."
Taylor turned to look at Cole, before picking up her baby, the child had began crying. "Oh, you need to be fed don't you, well don't worry. Mommy came prepared with a bottle of warm milk." Cooed Taylor as she sat down on a bench before feeding the child milk from a bottle.
"Awww…." said Danny adoringly, Cole and Max stared. "What? I'm not gay…."
"Yeah, Danny, we know." Cole replied, a hint of sarcasm was in his voice.
"Sorry, it's just that I'm still a little shocked, I mean you and Taylor! When did that happen?" said Danny.
"Well, it was a few days after our final battle with Master Org, I felt like there was something missing in my life." Answered Cole as he sat down beside his wife, who was still bottle-feeding their child. "Then one day, I had a chance meeting with Taylor in a restaurant. We talked and eventually I worked up the courage to ask her out."
Cole paused to look affectionately at his wife, a look, which she graciously returned. "And eventually we got married, and had Alyson over here." Cole pointed at his daughter, who playfully reached out and wrapped her little hands around his finger. Cole's smile widened.
"Hey we gotta go, but we'll hang out sometime alright?" said Max as he pulled on Danny's arm. "Danny wants to go see Kendall."
"Alright bye."
After leaving the happy family, the two friends walked for a while. "Why'd you pull us away?" asked Danny.
"Because." Said Max.
"Because?"
"Because, seeing those two together like that made me realize. That I want to find someone to love too."
Danny smiled before he patted his best friend on the back. "You'll find someone. We all will."
FIN
A/N: Ok that's that. No sequels, no chapter three's nothing. This was originally intended to be a one chapter story, but a single lone review was motivation for me to do another chapter. So yeah. Thanks Frida Vaccari.
