Ch. 20 The Good Life

Andros went to tell his children the good news once he had ensured that DECA had the course set to Earth. He found them setting up some find of party and he kept his arrival a secret as he watched them turn the Observatory into a big party room. He left without a sound and headed back to the Bridge.

"Did someone already tell them what happened?" he asked, looking suspiciously at his best friend.

"Okay," Zhane admitted, "I told them, do you have a problem with that?" Andros just shook his head and took his seat beside his wife.

"What's going on?" Ashley asked, looking questioningly at Andros.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss that," Andros answered. "Although I will tell you they have quite a surprise set up for us."

An hour later their children and Michelle made their way to the Bridge.

"Now, remember," Michelle told her nieces and nephews, "don't tell them there's a party, just tell them that we have a surprise for them."

"Okay," Tyran replied, running on in front of his siblings to get their parents. The rest of the sextuplets took of running but Michelle kept a firm grasp on the twins since they still weren't very good at walking.

"Mommy! Daddy!" They yelled as they ran onto the Bridge.

"Yes?" Andros questioned, smiling at his children.

"We have a prize for you," Jenna stated.

"A surprise?" Ashley questioned and her daughter nodded her head. "Okay, let's go." It wasn't long before they were back on the Observatory and Ashley had tears in her eyes. "This is beautiful."

"You like it?" Aidan asked looking back and forth between his parents. Both Ashley and Andros nodded and Aidan grabbed Andros' hand and pulled him to the table. "We have a surprise for you, Daddy." Andros took a seat at the table and watched as all his children went to grab to wrapped presents. Andros and Ashley smiled at the presents that were obviously wrapped by their children. Aidan brought Andros his and Jenna brought Ashley hers. They unwrapped their presents together both finding a necklace with pictures of their children inside.

"Thank you," Andros whispered to all his children.

"We all couldn't fit in one," Aidan explained, "so we had to take two pictures."

"That's fine," Ashley told her children. "We love them." They pulled their children into a big hug and held them tightly.

After the party and the children had been put to bed Andros and Ashley went to the Work Bay for a snack. When they arrived they found Zhane sitting alone with his head in his hands.

"Are you alright?" Andros asked his best friend as he placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I have to ask you something," Zhane rambled quickly. Andros nodded and waited for Zhane to continue. "Can I marry Karone?"

"Of course," Andros answered immediately. "Why'd you think you had to ask me?"

"I just wanted to make sure it was alright with you," the other man whispered.

"Even if it wasn't," Andros began, "Karone would turn me into a frog or something before she'd spend her life without you. So, when's the big day?"

"Actually," his friend replied, "I was hoping that maybe we could get married on your anniversary. That way we share another important date."

"Is that okay with you?" he asked his wife and Ashley nodded. "So go ask her already." He pushed his friend to his sister's door and knocked for him before taking Ashley's hand and running to their room.

"Can I help you?" Karone asked with a smile as she watched Zhane squirm under her gaze.

"I..." Zhane stammered before deciding just to go for it. "Will you marry me?" Karone launched herself into his arms and kissed him passionately. "I'll take that as a yes." Karone only had one answer to that.

A week later the rangers found themselves in homes and with everything they could have ever wanted. Today was Andros and Ashley's anniversary and Zhane and Karone's wedding day. They had decided to have the wedding first and then have one big party for both couples. All Andros' children were in the wedding and they all looked very cute. Andros watched as they made their way to the front where his wife, his friends, and his soon to be brother-in-law and wrapped his arm firmly around his sister.

"I hope you have a great day, sis," he whispered as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Thank you for doing this for me," Karone replied. She had been afraid she'd have no one to walk her down the aisle but Andros had told her he would and she had taken him up on the offer. They quieted down as Michelle made her way down the aisle as the flower girl and waited patiently for the music to begin. As it began playing, Andros took Karone's hand tightly in his and began walking forward. An hour later Karone and Zhane stood in front of them as a happily married couple.

"So, how's it feel to be a married man?" Andros asked as he laughed at his best friend.

"It's great," Zhane answered, a little gleam in his eyes. "I've never been so happy."

"I'm happy for you," Ashley stated as she pulled Karone into a hug. "I hope you guys are as happy as us."

"Me too, Ashley," Karone responded. "Me too."
