As always... You read. Youreview... or rather R&R!
Last time on "Forever is Only a Moment"...
"I love you," Z whispered, "Forever." She sighed as Bridge touched his forehead with hers.
"I love you too," he said, kissing her cheek...
"Z's still here," Syd said, taking Bridge's hand.
"Yeah," Bridge agreed, looking in the rearview mirror and could have sworn he saw Z in it...
"Will you marry me, Sydney Lila Hacciana Drew?" Bridge asked when they pulled away. Syd looked at him with wide eyes and smiled.
"Yes!" she squealed...
She took her hands in his and placed them on her chest. "Oh, Syd."
"I'm pregnant," she whispered, looking back up at him...
"Oh, Syd. You beautiful young lady," Z said. She took Syd's hands in hers. "I love you, Syd." She kissed the former pink ranger's cheek. "Take care of my boys and my goddaughter"...
Z kissed her cheek and wiped the tears Syd started shedding. "I will love you forever." Syd nodded and Z disappeared...
"You have a choice... live here on earth without me. Or die and join me."
"You!" Jack exclaimed...
"Jack... I... I..." Z took in a deep breath. "If you say so."
She pulled away, cupping her hands together. She blew a golden dust on Jack. He let out his breath and fell to the ground without breath.
Z fell on her knees, crying and holding Jack in her arms. She couldn't believe that she had given him a heartattack.
"Z?" she heard him. She looked up and saw Jack. She stood up and jumped in his arms.
"Oh, Jack," she cried.
Syd smiled as she and Bridge say at the reception. Bridge leaded over and kissed her cheek. She kissed his back and took in a deep breath as they pulled away. Bridge got up and went to greet her friends.
"Bridge!" she called, taking in deep breaths. She screamed at the top of her lungs. "Oh god!" Sky, Bridge, Cruger, and Kat went to her aid. "Bridge." Tears cascaded down Syd's cheeks. Bridge pulled her close.
"What's wrong?" Bridge asked.
"The baby... our baby girl's coming," Syd cried. Bridge looked at his friends.
"Doggie?" Kat questioned.
"Let's get her out of here," Cruger said. Sky scooped Syd up in his arms and they ran out. "Kat, stay here and take care of the crowd." Kat nodded. "And Daniel."
Kat turned around and faced the screaming and crying toddler, Daniel. She raced to him and comforted him like she was his mother.
"There, there, Daniel. Kat's here. Auntie Kitty's here," Kat comforted.
"Kitty," he sobbed. "Mommy." He reached out for the door that they had taken Syd to the hospital in. She kissed his forehead, turning him to face her.
"Its okay, Daniel," she comforted.
Syd screamed, crushing Bridge's hand.
"Bridge, it hurts too much," Syd cried. He kissed her forehead, smoothing her hair back.
"Syd, do you think you can push?" Commander Cruger asked. She shook her head no.
"Ohhhhhhh! Bridge!" she screamed.
"C'mon, Syd, you can do it," Bridge calmed. She sat up and took in a deep breath, pushing. She leaned back, taking in quick breaths.
"Only one more, Syd," Sky said.
"Hear that, Syd? One more and we'll get to hold our baby girl," Bridge said.
Syd sat up, taking in a deep breath and pushed. Sky placed the baby on Syd's stomach and Syd started to cry.
"Bridge, you wanna cut the cord?" Sky asked. Bridge nodded, tears in his eyes. Sky told him where to cut and Bridge did so. Syd held her baby girl close to her, crying. Sky took the newborn away from Syd.
"What? Sky? I want my baby!" she cried.
"I'm just cleaning her up, Syd," Sky assured.
"What's her name?" Cruger asked. Bridge sat on the edge of his wife's bed and entwined hands with her.
"We've thought long and hard about it and have come up with..." Bridge started.
"Elizabeth Jamie Carson," Syd finished.
"That's beautiful," Sky said, handing Syd her baby girl.
"Hi Elizabeth," Syd cooed her daughter.
Z and Jack appeared in the room later that night and saw Bridge holding his daughter as Syd slept. Jack squeezed Z's hand in comfort as she started to cry.
Bridge looked up at Z and Jack and smiled.
"This is Elizabeth, guys," he introduced the baby in his arms.
"We came to say goodbye," Jack said.
"Goodbye?" Bridge questioned.
"We're going away," Z said. "But we'll always be here. If you ever need us. Just call. We answer prayers."
"You sound like a birthday card," Bridge said.
"Thank you," the former yellow ranger said, bowing. The three laughed.
"We'll miss you guys," Bridge said.
"We'll miss you too," Jack said.
"Bye," Z said. "Bye, Elizabeth. Tell Syd we said bye." The two disappeared. Bridge looked at his wife as she slept.
Jack looked at Z.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"We have one more stop to make," Z said. He shrugged as she led him to Syd and Bridge's house.
We're on another cliffhanger. Where is Z taking Jack? To be continued...
