About an hour later, Ashley woke up well rested and ready to go back down stairs. She had quickly remembered that Andros's parents were there.
She went into her closet to find a pretty yellow summer dress with flower print all over it; the slight bump on her stomach very noticeable. She quickly changed and fixed her hair before going down stairs.
She walked down stairs and found Andros sitting on the couch in their living room looking at what she assumed to be some important files.
"Always working, huh," she said to get his attention.
Andros's head shot up. He had not heard her come down.
"Hey sleepy head, how are you feeling," he asked as she walked over to him and sat down on his lap.
"Oh much better, and way more alert," she answered cheerfully. "How long was I asleep for?"
"For a few hours," he told her as he played with a few strands of her hair. "You were pretty out of it."
"Yah I guess I hadn't really realize how much walking we actually did today," she replied.
"You really need to take it easy for next seven months Ash," he said, resting his hand on her stomach. He was a bit worried that she may overexert herself by wanting to do everything at once.
"Don't worry Andros," she said, placing her hand over his, "I'll be ok. I've got you to take care of me after all."
"You got that right," Andros laughed before placing a kiss on her lips.
Once they finally broke apart, she laid her head on his shoulder as he held her close to him.
"Hey Andros" she softly said all of a sudden, without even lifting her head from his shoulder. .
"Yah," he asked.
"Didn't you say your parents were here," she asked. She had been so caught up in the moment that she had nearly forgotten.
"Uh yah, they're out back with Karone and Zhane," he told her. "I decided to stay inside in case you woke up."
"Aw you're sweet," she said, placing a kiss on his cheek.
"They really want to meet you," he said. "Karone already told them that you're a kind and sensitive person."
Ashley smiled. "What else do they know," she asked him.
"Just that we're engaged and that you're pregnant with triplets." He answered.
"Do they know that I was a ranger or that I'm not Karovian," she asked, a bit nervous that his parents might not approve of the fact that she's from Earth.
"Well uh not um….. not exactly," he stuttered, picking up on her nervousness.
"Don't worry sweetheart, they'll love you no matter what planet you're from," he then said, squeezing her hand gently.
"You sure," she asked, still a little unsure.
"Trust me," he assured her, as they stared getting up.
Andros held her hand as they walked outside to join the rest of their family.
Outside
"So how long havethe two two of been dating," Adrienne curiously asked the young couple.
The four of them were talking happily, seated under a tree on a picnic blanket, catching up on old times.
"O technically for about a year," Karone answered her mother, as she remembered how her and Zhane"s actually first date went.
."Technically," Kertis questioned.
"Believe me dad you don't want to know," Karone replied, a little embarrassed as she looked over at Zhane who had decided to stay out of the conversation.
He excepted her answer, noticing she did not wish to talk about it, andtook the conversation in a different direction.
"So you guys hearing any wedding bells in the near future." he asked.
Just then all four heads shot up once they heard the sliding door opening, saving Zhane once again from answering that question.They watched asAndros came outside holding hands with whom Adrienne and Kertis assume to be their son's fiancé.
"Hey," Andros called out. "Look how's up."
"Ashley," Karone exclaimed happily, excited that her future sister-in-law was finally awake.
Karone got up and walked over to her and Andros and wrapped her arm around her best friend.
"No worries, they already love you," Karone whispered, as she led the two to where they were sitting. .
Ashley smiled. She felt lucky to have a friend like her.
"Well Andros you failed to mention just how pretty she is," Kertis said, as he too stood up, giving Ashley a hug.
Adrienne was next to stand up. "Welcome to the family dear," she said, also giving her a hug.
Ashley smiled and said, "Thank you. It's so nice to meet the both of you."
"Polite too," Kertis said to Andros.
Andros smiled, happy to finally get to show off his wife to his parents.
Sorry for the long wait. I have been so busy and I had writers block. Iactually hadn't planned on making this story this long. Oh well, I'll update as soon as I figure out what to write next; I'll probably continue this scene but I dunno.
