The parents were finally let in to see Kimberly with the children.
"Mom, Dad. Hey." Kimberly saw everyone walking in as she woke up.
"Hey, you feeling better?" Kim smiled and nodded. Sydney reached for Kimberly. Kim's mother handed her over.
"I'm fine, guys. Just a little cramping. The baby is fine."
"Good."
"Where is Tommy?"
"What?"
"I told them that Tommy went out of town for a conference."
"Oh, the conference right. He's in Australia."
"Oh. Where can we reach him?"
"He should be back soon," Hailey quickly added. "I should go pick up Trisha for you."
"Thanks, Hailey."
"It's okay, Hailey. We'll do that," Mr. Hart said.
"Mom, can you take the girls home, they don't.."
"Don't you worry about that, baby." Kim's mother rubbed her head.
"Yea, you just rest," Mrs. Oliver said.
Kimberly was released that afternoon and put to immediate bedrest only. Kim's mother covered up Kimberly as she got into bed.
"Okay, are you hungry? Thirsty?"
"No, I'm good."
"Still no answer," Mrs. Oliver said hanging up the phone.
"I'll try his cell phone again," Mr. Hart said pulling out his cell phone.
"Dad, it's a different time zone. He could be out."
"His cell phone still with no answer. He hasn't even returned all the messages."
"Dad, I'm fine. Besides, I think he left here."
"That boy," Mr.Oliver said.
"That boy is my husband and your son. You know how forgetful he can be. Look, you all can go. I am fine."
"The doctors said complete bedrest and off you feet. You can't handle 4 children. So, until Tommy comes back, I am not leaving you." Kim's mother took a seat beside Kimberly fixing her pillows.
"Mommy! I'm not a child!"
"I'm not leaving either," Mrs. Oliver said sitting beside her.
"Neither are we," Mr. Hart said. "Now get some rest, baby." He kissed her forehead.
Next day, Friday, November 3rd. Kimberly woke up and went to stand, when 4 hands stopped her.
"Where are you going?"
"Trisha has school and..."
"We got Trisha. I'll go." Mrs. Oliver helped cover Kimberly back up. She left to go wake Trisha.
"Mom, I am fine."
"Just rest."
Nearly a week later now, November 8th, Wednesday. Kira has lost hope in that there was no more good left in Trent. Kimberly hated that. She made Kira promise her not to give up hope and that there is always a way.
"So, how are the parents?"
"Testy."
"Testy?"
"I'm handling it."
"Good." Zeltrax sent the Copyotter to Reefside. The rangers morph into battle with the monster. It copies their weapons, using it against them. Copyotter even copies the White Ranger's weapon. Zeltrax and the White Ranger, Trent, haven't been getting along since Mesogog brought the white ranger to his side. They had fought to prove who was second in command, the White Ranger defeating Zeltrax, so Zeltrax was looking for revenge. Zeltrax destroys part of the lair and makes it appear to be caused by the White Ranger. Mesogog doesn't believe it and tries to destroy Trent. Dr. Mercer is able to gain back control over Mesogog and frees his son. Trent vows to keep it a secret, and that he will save his father from Mesogog. The White Rangers appears as the rangers are fighting Copyotter. He helps them, but they still believe he is evil. The white ranger saves Tommy from an attack from Zeltrax. The rangers are able to use their zords and destroy Copyotter. They return to the Dino Thunder lab to find Trent. Everyone very shocked went into stances to fight him.
"Wait!" Tommy got up.
"Dr. O, you cannot be serious! He's evil."
"Yea, it's another trick," Ethan added to Connor's comments.
"I wouldn't have brought him back here if I thought he was."
"Look, I know I've got a lot of make up to you guys. But I'm back. The bracelet is not evil anymore. I'm good. I want to help you guys. I want to stop Mesogog."
"There is just one way to make sure," Kira said.
"And how is that?" Trent asked.
"All new rangers gotta clean the lab and zords." Kira picked up a bucket of cleaning supples and handed them over to Trent. Everyone laughed. Trent went to cleaning with the rest watching and smiling. Little to be known, back at Mesogog's island, Elsa was poking fun at Zeltrax about his failure. But Zeltrax has a surprise up his sleeve. A clone of the evil White Ranger with no traces of Trent in it comes from machine. Zeltrax laughs as only an evil guy can.
With Trent back and good again, everyone was happy. Including Hailey, who gets her helper back to the café. A soccer play, Alexi, gets all the attention from people on his ability. This causes Connor not to be pleased. The rangers, minus Trent leave the café. Ethan was about to go work on his school project when Zeltrax, the White Ranger and White Terrosaurus appears. They morph and battle all 3 of them. Trent appears on his bike. He takes out them and aids the rangers.
"Got a twin brother you never told us about." Tommy calls them back to the Dino Lab. Connor sees the White Terrosaurus attacking the city. He convinces them to join him and deal with the monster. They are defeated, having their zords captured. Defeated they head to see Dr. Oliver. Tommy tells them he has to find an artifact, but he needs Trent. Connor not happy. He wanted to go.
"I need Trent, Connor. Just stay here, we will be back." They leave for the woods. Trent helps retrieve the Shield of Triumph. Dr. Oliver explains to him how every ranger has to put a little of themselves into the Shield of Triumph. Even in Super Dino mode, the rangers couldn't defeat the Terrosaurus. The Black Ranger gives the shield Connor. Connor tells Kira and Ethan, they need to give a part of themself to the shield. Since they trust him, they do so, giving up some power. Connor defeats the Terrosaurus in another dimension.
"Good job, Connor. Only when you were ready would the shield reveal itself to you."
"Man, what awesome powers."
About a little over a week later, Ethan had to deal with an evil curse after the class was taken on a tour of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Ethan who wrote down some hieroglyphics from Tutenhawken's tomb, accidently released Tutenhawken causing the curse. Hailey creates the Hovercraft Cycle for Ethan since it was only Kira's power of flight that was able to fight Tutenhawken. The curse is broken after the rangers defeat Tutenhawken.
With Tommy's mother and Kim's mother still staying at the house, things not so great with Kimberly. That day, however, Tommy's mother found out from calling the school that Tommy wasn't away at a conference but was called in sick by himself.
"Why would Kimberly lie?"
"I don't know, but she is."
That night, Kimberly slipped downstairs. She called for Tommy. He came up.
"Hey."
"Hey." She hugged him. "I miss you." Even though he was still in his ranger suit, Tommy would come up and stand watch on Kimberly and his children a while at night. But with their mothers here, he couldn't as much as he wanted.
"I miss you, Beautiful." Kim and Tommy's mother woke up and heard talking. They sneaked downstairs.
"Why can't they just leave?"
"I know. I know." The mothers found Kimberly in the arms of the Black ranger. They softly gasped together.
"I just want to lay with you. I can't take another night without you."
"I feel the same. I miss holding you. Rubbing your stomach and feeling our baby boy's life within."
"What is the Black Ranger doing here?"
"What did he mean by our baby?"
"Please just 5 minutes," Kim said. "I just need you to hold me."
"Okay." Tommy moved her arms around his neck. Kim and Tommy's mother slipped out of view upstairs, as the Black Ranger carried Kimberly upstairs and to their bedroom. Kimberly was placed on the bed. Tommy laid down behind her. His arms went around her. His hand rubbing her slightly rounded belly.
"Are you okay now?"
"In your arms, I am forever safe. I love you."
"I love you too." Kimberly fell asleep. Tommy and Kim's mother left watching them. They sneaked back into the girls' room.
"I can't believe it."
"I can't believe it," Kim's mother said after Mrs. Oliver.
"What is Tommy going to do? My poor son."
"I can't believe my daughter is cheating on Tommy. No wonder he is gone."
"You think he left because he found out! You think he knows!"
"Of course! Especially with that baby being the Black ranger's and not his. Oh, Jane, I am sooo sorry. I can't believe my Kimberly would hurt Tommy this way."
"Me either. I thought she loved him. How could she do that to him?"
Oooo...poor Tommy and Kim's mother. What to do, what to do?
please review, I would love to hear how everyone is taking the story so far
