All for You
Chapter 2
"What if I got you pregnant?" he asked her. She giggled, covering her mouth with her hands. "I'm serious." She ran her hands over his nicely chiseled stomach, still giggling.
"You've been saying that for five years," she teased. "It hasn't happened yet and it won't until we're ready." She leaned up and kissed his lips. "Besides, it's not everyday you get to have sex with a girl like me."
"I do, but most men, I hope. don't," he said. She laughed at him.
"You always know how to make me smile, Tommy," she said. She soon dozed off to sleep. He watched his girlfriend sleep and soon fell asleep himself.
Nineteen year old Sydney Drew stood in a line with her teammates, Elizabeth Delgado, Jack Landors, Schuylar Tate, Bridge Carson, and Samuel Henderson. They were also known as the B Squad Power Rangers.
The entire academy was awaiting the commands of Doctor Katherine Heidi Manx and Commander Abnius Cruger, yet the two were no where to be found. But just as some of the cadets started to leave a voice roared, "Get back in your lines, Cadets!"
They all looked at Doctor Manx, Commander Cruger, and another man dressed in black from head to toe, that only the B Squad recognized.
"Tommy," Elizabeth gasped. "That's Tommy Oliver! Oh, I remember hearing so many tales about him from my parents, uncles, and aunts when I was just a tiny tot." Her friends looked at Elizabeth with mysterious eyes, all except Sydney. "Thomas Oliver, we met him on a mission, the one with Kira, Conner, Trent, and Ethan." They nodded. "He's so cool."
Sydney's gaze was focused on the previous ranger. Even for forty, he looked young, about thirty-five, maybe even thirty-three, thirty-two. Sydney didn't even know his real age at the time, just got lost under his rugged and dark exterior, making him look mysterious.
"Cadets, this is Lieutenant Oliver! He is helping Kat and me through out the academy. I want you all to be polite to him and show him around," Cruger instructed. "B Squad, stay here! The rest of you... Dismissed!"
The cadets left the B Squad behind as the walked away after saluting their commander.
Cruger and Kat walked up to the B Squad with Tommy. Tommy looked at Sydney and she broke her mesmerized gaze of him, looking to the floor in an embarrassed flush.
Tommy woke up to the sound of a toilet flushing. He put his robe on, walked into the bathroom, and saw Syd drifting into sleep with vomit all over her mouth, her pink fluffy robe on her sweat drenched body. She started to choke on the vomit left in her mouth and leaned over the toilet, collapsing on the rim. Tommy kneeled down next to her and patted her back gently a few times as she vomited.
"You okay?" he asked in concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she assured and then threw up once again. He rubbed her back in circles.
"Probably just a touch of the flu.May had just started getting it when we went to the mall together, so that's probably it." She wiped the vomit off her mouth with the back of her hand. She collapsed on the bathroom floor, starting to cry in pain. "Tommy, it feels so gross! My sides hurt. My head hurts! My memory it's becoming hazy! I can barely remember things!" She had tears running down her cheeks and her hair was sticking to her neck. He pulled her hair back in a hair tie and pulled her into his arms, cradling her.
"I'll call Kat and have her make a house call. She'll help you, Syd. I know I can't," he said.
"She's too busy," Syd complained, being stubborn. "I'll be fine. I don't need a doctor."
"Then Dana. I'll call Dana Grayson!" he exclaimed
She got out of Tommy's arms, grumbling and headed to the living room. She sat down on the loveseat and reached for the remote, but she clutched her sides with a moan.
Tommy walked into the living room and sat next to her.
"I'm calling Kat," he said.
"No you're not!" she argued. He got up, grabbed the phone, and called Kat.
Syd may be stubborn, but when Tommy was stubborn there was no stopping him and she knew it. After Tommy got off the phone, all they could do was sit and wait, holding each other, ignoring the soap opera Syd had turned on. He ran a hand through her hair as she sighed, trying to ignore the queasy pain in her sides.
Sydney sighed as Tommy walked away from the B Squad. Bridge and Sky had asked him so many questions; she had started to wonder if he was ever going to get to work. But she didn't know he had thought the same exact thing.
Elizabeth dragged Sydney to their room and pushed her onto her bed and then sat across from her at her own bed.
"So?" Elizabeth said.
"So?" Sydney shrugged, grabbing a Miro magazine and flipping through it.
"So, what about Tommy? Huh? Gorges? Or what? I'd drop Sky in a heartbeat if I was of legal age!" Elizabeth said dreamily. "But you..."
"Z! Don't drop Sky; you're the best thing that ever happened to him! And what about me?" Sydney asked.
"You're legal age, Syd! You can date him!" she exclaimed. "Lucky! I wish I were your age!"
"No, trust me; you don't want to be nineteen. You start to get wrinkles, gray hair, and, oh, hormones rage more!" Syd explained.
"Lucky. I want to have sex with Sky. My hormones aren't raging at all and his are like sky high. Damn rulebook!" the yellow ranger groaned.
"What about the rulebook?" the pink one asked in curiosity.
"The damn rulebook basically says no sex! It's a huge rule and no one dares to disobey it!" Z explained.
"Really? You actually read that thing?" she asked. Z rolled her eyes and put her headphones on.
"Ask him, Syd. I know you love him," Z said, pressing play on her CD player
Syd sat there thinking about what Z had just said to her, letting it sink into her system. Did she like Tommy? Was it possible? She was of legal age, but what would everyone think? Z probably wouldn't care; after all she is encouraging all this. The others, Syd wasn't very sure about them. Cruger and Kat would frown upon it. Sky would too; after all he is leader's pet! Syd rolled her eyes at that thought with a smirk, "Alright."
Z opened her eyes, pulling her headphones off. She jumped off her bed and on top of Syd, hugging her, "I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" Syd hugged back.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"It's unlocked!" Tommy called. Kat walked in to find the couple huddled together nervously on the couch. Syd had finally stopped crying, but she still had a grip on her painful sides. She stood in front of them, kit in hand.
"Syd, if you'll come with me," Kat said. Syd followed Kat to her bedroom silently as tears started to cascade down her cheeks once again.
Tommy sat in silence for about twenty minutes, until he heard a scream and then a loud THUMP!
Kat came out of the room.
"Syd's going to be just fine! Tommy, you and Syd are pregnant. Congratulations," Kat said. Tommy sat there in wonder and awe of Kat's words.
"Are you serious?" he asked. "Where's Syd?" Syd walked out of their room, crying.
"Tommy!" she sobbed, running up to him and hugging onto him, placing both hands on his back. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He pushed her back and held her hands in his.
"Don't apologize, Syd, please? We're bringing a new life into the world. That's great!" he comforted.
"But, you were just telling me last night we weren't ready," she said as her tears remained steadily in her eyes.
"We are ready if it's happening," he assured, rubbing her arms up and down.
"I better go," Kat whispered and left the couple alone.
Syd burst into tears again and Tommy pulled her back into his arms, smoothing put her long blond curls in the process.
