Chapter 22: Ashley's Fear Part II

(Last time on Bound Together)

Ashley's found out that she is pregnant again but this time she and Alpha created a device that would be inside her suit that would protect this baby. While waiting for the right time to tell Andros that she was again pregnant, Andros, Carlos, and Silvy have been captured by Astronema and were put into the Secret City. TJ, Cassie, and Ashley got inside to save their three friends. Will Ashley get the chance to tell Andros that she's pregnant again?

(Now the Conclusion)

After they escaped the quantrons, they hid behind a wall and Ashley kept watch while they tried to find the antenna's position. She just wanted to bring Andros home. Her eyes widened when she saw the quantrons. "We've gotta go," she told them quietly. They got up to leave when Cassie dropped the flare gun. They took off running with the quantrons behind them.

They hid behind a wall and Cassie shot at the quantrons. "You guys go ahead I'll keep them busy," she informed.

"You sure?" Cassie asked.

"Yes, go!" Ashley replied.

Ashley fought against the quantrons that came up behind her and saw that they were aiming mostly at her stomach. She quickly blocked their attacks and fought them back. "I've got to find Andros," she whispered. Ashley quickly rolled out of the way and went to find Andros. "ANDROS!" She shouted. She looked up and gasped to see TJ and Cassie hanging over the edge. "Oh, no! TJ, CASSIE!" She shouted. Ashley ran up the stairs to help her friends.

"NO! DON'T ASHLEY! THIS IS GOING TO BLOW!" TJ shouted.

"BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?" Ashley shouted.
"GO FIND CARLOS AND ANDROS!" Cassie answered.

Ashley ran to find the. She gasped when Andros was thrown off his feet. "Andros!" She gasped. She ran over to him and helped him sit up. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Looks like your pretty girlfriend came just in time for me to destroy you all," the monster laughed.

Ashley heard Andros's battlizer morpher go off and saw that Silvy, who was hiding in the bushes, had pushed number three. She stood up and backed up when Andros stood up in pain and her eyes widened in shock when Andros morphed into his new battlizer armor. "Whoa!" Ashley gasped. Ashley watched as Andros flew over and saved TJ and Cassie just in time when they lost their grip. Carlos ran over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Ashley looked at him. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine," Carlos replied.

After Andros saved TJ and Cassie from falling to their death, they ran over to their friends. "That was amazing!" Ashley commented. They looked over at the monster in front of them.

"BATTLIZER SHIELD!" Andros shouted.

The monster threw a blast at Andros, but with his new shield he was able to block it. After defeating the monster, the secret city disappeared.

(Megaship)

When they got onto the Megaship, they started their search, but Ashley suddenly felt really sick again. She rubbed her forehead, she wasn't going to give up this time. Andros saw that Ashley was pale and grabbed her arm. "Ashley, come with me," he murmured.

"Not now, Andros," she insisted.

"Yes, now," he answered.

Ashley sighed and let Andros drag her off the bridge. "What?" She asked. Andros looked at her.

"You're pregnant again aren't you?" He asked.

Ashley sighed and nodded her head slowly. "Yes," she replied.

"When were you going to tell me this?" He asked.

"When the time was right," she replied.

Andros looked over at the others to see them still working not noticing their disappearance. "I don't want you fighting," he told her. Ashley shook her head.

"No, I'm fighting. Alpha and I developed technology that would protect the baby," she assured him.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yes, now is not the time argue. We have to find those people."

Andros watched as she went back into the bridge to find the missing people. Cassie glanced at Ashley who just nodded her head before getting back to work. Andros came back onto the bridge and walked over to the other computers. He looked at the computers and continued his search, still not liking the idea that Ashley was going to continue fighting in her condition.

Ashley glanced at Andros before looking back at the computers. Even though she and Alpha created the technology to protect her pregnant stomach, she was still scared out of her mind of what might happen if Astronema found out about the baby. One thing was for sure, Ashley had decided to give it a second chance, but she was still afraid and she needed to tell Andros that, because she knew that he was afraid too.
