Juzblue: Glad you like it.
The-power-of-love: Always.
Jenny: I have no clue what you are talking about. What little unborn baby? They can actually sleep together and NOT have babies you know. That goes for both of them. Just because Karone got broody doesn't mean I'm making her have another baby. looks at Jenny pointedly
Ghostwriter: That's okay. School sucks.
Phantom Rogue: What is it with you, Jenny and babies! Did you get her pregnant? Or the other way around? OR BOTH! But, yeah, Ashley will reach an age where she's too old to produce babies… only… then she can watch her grandbabies be produced with lots of strippey hair. And like I told Jenny. That they have been sleeping together doesn't mean they're pregnant! glares pointedly But… you can never have too many stippey babies! You didn't bore me… you amused me:P
As The Battle Rages
Chapter 10
"Have fun!" Ray waved teasingly as his parents got into the brand new red sports car Andros had gotten from his boss.
"Don't burn the house down." Andros replied, grinning.
"That's what uncle Zhane said." Ray retorted, laughing, just before Andros closed the car door.
Ray watched his father ignite the engine and drive off with one last wave. With a sigh he closed the door behind him and walked into the living room. Ciana lay gurgling in her playpen, her hands reaching up as she tried to catch the rotating yellow stars and red moons of her mobile.
"Okay, listen up Tempest." He grinned, a fleeing image of an unhappy baby creating a thunderstorm crossing his mind. "I'm going to make myself some dinner, if you move an inch you'll go to bed without food, got it."
Ciana just giggled, grabbing at his pointing finger - but missing since it was just a little too high. Ray smiled and placed a quick kiss on her forehead before going into the kitchen.
"Let's see what mom left me." He muttered, opening the refrigerator.
A bright smile appeared on his face when he spotted his favourite pizza sitting docile in the front, just waiting to be heated.
"Mom, you are the best." He grinned, pulling out the pizza setting it down on the kitchen top before lighting the oven so it could preheat.
He went back into the living room and looked around for something to do until his pizza needed attention again. Spotting nothing he walked over to his sister's playpen again. With a grin he pulled out a folded blanket from beneath it and spread it out on the ground. Once done he picked Ciana up and laid her down on her belly on the blanket, then he picked up some toys and put them down around her. By that time Ciana had rolled over on her back and Ray had to laugh.
"You're a lazy baby, you know that." He told her, causing Ciana to laugh.
"Okay, I have to put my pizza in the oven, I'll be right back, don't you go anywhere." Ray grinned.
In the kitchen Ray put his pizza in the oven and set the alarm on 20 minutes. Back in the living room he set down next to Ciana and picked up one of her many stuffed animals. As he held it above her head, Ciana's chubby little arms rose into the air again, grabbing for it and Ray laughed, lowering it until Ciana could grab it. She did and quickly hugged it close to her, her eyes daring him to take it from her.
"I don't care what they all say, you're more like dad than your looks give away."
Chan residence"Abby." Cassie called upstairs. "Dinner's ready."
Silently Abigail came downstairs, a blank, forlorn expression on her face. Cassie sighed and caught her daughter in a hug.
"It'll be okay, sweetheart." She whispered.
Abigail didn't reply but hugged her mother tightly, a single tear slipping down her cheek. Reluctantly Cassie pushed her daughter into the dining room, not missing the glares her sons sent at Abigail.
Saryn sighed, repressing the anger building up inside of him. He knew he'd have to keep out of this, it was the problem of the rangers, but he couldn't help the anger. Why was it so hard for his sons to admit that maybe their sister was right and they were wrong? Just that they had Eshla and Reese were on their side, but Dymphna and Murtagh agreed with her.
One look at his wife and her eyes told him the same story.
Valerte residence
"I don't want water." Murtagh complained grumpily. "I want Sprite."
"Sprite isn't a drink to go with dinner." Carlos told him sternly.
"I don't care." Murtagh huffed, glaring at his glass of water.
"Mur, get a grip, it's not like it's anything new." Dymphna teased and Murtagh glared at her before returning his glare at his glass.
"Staring at it won't change it." Aura laughed teasingly at her son.
Murtagh didn't reply but kept glaring at it. His eyes widened when suddenly small bubbles started to form in the glass, and soon it was fizzing happily as little bubbles popped and formed.
"Okay, what did you do?" Dymphna demanded, staring at the glass in shock.
"I don't know." Murtagh admitted, a bit taken aback, tentatively reaching out and tasting the liquid. "It's turned into Sprite!"
"No way." Dymphna protested, pulling the glass from her younger brother and took a sip. "Mur… you're right."
