Chapter 3: Love You More

Adam stood in the doorway of the Command Center, watching her as she prayed and thanked God. Wait, thanked Him?

"Alyssa is everything okay?" he asked when she turned towards the door.

Jumping slightly in the air, she spun to face him. "Oh Adam! You scared me. I didn't hear you come out." She grinned. "He's going to try!"

Before she knew it, Adam picked her up and was spinning her around. Laughing he placed her back on the ground. "'Lyssa, that's awesome. Can I tell everyone?"

"Yes. Go ahead. I'm going to tell Billy then head home. I have to pick him up at the airport tomorrow morning." Alyssa stood on her tip toes and kissed Adam's cheek. "We may have found our solution."

Alyssa walked up to Billy's hospital bed and kissed his forehead. Sitting down, she took his hand. "He's going to do it!" she whispered excitedly. "This time tomorrow you should be back to your rightful age. Oh Billy!" Alyssa cried tears of happiness and laid her head down on his bed, stroking his wrinkled arm with her thumb.

"'Lyssa? Alyssa? Wake up! 'Lyssa wake up." Alyssa awoke to someone shaking her shoulder and whispering loudly. "You have to go home."

She sat upright and looked around wildly. "What time is it? How long was I asleep?"

Tanya smiled, "its okay. It's only 9:30. You were only asleep a few minutes, but I figured you wanted to get home and wait for your cousin to call."

"Yeah, thank you. I should get home. Just give me a minute?" Tanya smiled and walked out of the room and right into Adam.

"Is she okay?" he asked.

"Yeah. This may work out in the end." The two Rangers hugged tightly.

Billy lay in the bed, sleeping lightly. He looks so peaceful Alyssa thought.

"Billy, I'm going home now. I'll be back tomorrow, with Shawn. Everything's going to be okay." Alyssa leant down, her lips hovering over his. She leaned closer and met her soft lips with his chapped ones. She kissed him gently, lovingly. Alyssa put all her love and heart into this one kiss. Almost as soon as they had touched, Alyssa had felt him try to return the kiss. She gently pulled away and kissed his cheek. "I love you." She squeezed his hand and walked softly out of the room.

"Love…you more" came a faint whisper, uttered after she had left.

AN: Okay. This was just a filler chapter. The story is almost finished but I don't want it to end.

You know the drill: I don't own anything familiar!
