Summary: She was an ex-hostess two years ago. His parents objected to their relationship, fearing that their only son would be laughed at and they would lose face.

Chapter Four: Forever Friends and Family

Alyssa was meeting Richard at a big tree, upon his insistence. She gave a sigh and walked towards the tree. Once she reached the tree, she closed her eyes and remembered the preparations for her first date with the former Red Wild Force ranger.

-Flashback-

"God, Alyssa, you don't have to get so dolled up," chuckled her father, Kyle Enrile.

Alyssa looked at her father with a smile. " I bet Mum did it too."

Kyle looked over at the picture of his deceased wife. " Yeah, she sure did." He agreed. "This guy must mean very important to you."

His daughter kept silent for a while. Had Cole been so important to her? So important that she could only think about him all the time?

"Alyssa, relax."

"I can't, Daddy, I can't," she whispered. " What if he doesn't like me? What if he is already married? What if-" babbled his daughter.

" Alyssa, come on, you're going to be fine." Assured her father.

Alyssa looked at her father before a small smile came onto her face.

-End of Flashback-

"Alyssa!"

She snapped out of her reverie and looked towards the voice.

"Richard." She greeted, before leaning against the tree. "Yes?"

"I was just thinking, what if Cole never comes back? Don't the children need a father?" he asked.

Alyssa rolled her eyes, knowing fully well what he meant. " I told you, don't use the babies to change my mind into being with you, even if they are not yours. That would never happen." She snapped, walking off.

How dare he, thought the former White Wild Force ranger.

Richard chased after her, when three men with sticks appeared and started beating him.

"Ahh!!!" he shouted.

Alyssa spun round. "Richard!" she gasped, running towards him.

She began to kick at one of the men, but one of them kicked her in the stomach. She gave a cry as she felt the pain and fell to the ground, her hand on her stomach as the other grabbed her mobile phone…

Tommy and Cole were having a chat in the Red and White Wild Force rangers' apartment.

"So," Tommy said casually, " I met my niece the other day."

Cole gave a start. " How is she, Tommy? Is she okay? Is she sick? What about the babies?" he asked worriedly.

Tommy stifled a grin. So you still love and care about her after all.

"Come on, tell me," he insisted.

"You really love her, don't you?"

Cole stared at the ground before answering. " Yeah, I do. Tommy, she was perfect. Only when my parents said she was a prostitute then she blew her top."

Tommy whacked Cole's shoulder. " Then you should find her."

"Nah," he disagreed. "I should give her a little more space and time."

Just then, the phone rang. Cole picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"What?!" exclaimed Cole as he heard the news. "I'll be right there."

Tommy looked over at him. " What's wrong?"

Cole paused in his tracks. " Turtle Cove Hospital, right now."

Tommy grabbed his cell phone and dialed his brother's number.

"What do you mean, she's in hospital?"

Cole was pacing the hospital ground, silently cursing himself. He was the one who brought her to this state. He slumped on one of the seats as he remembered his conversation with his parents a few minutes ago.

-Flashback-

"Dad, Alyssa's in hospital."

His father gave a snort. "She's not your wife and definitely not my daughter-in-law."

"Dad!" protested Cole.

"She's not in our family."

"Fine, don't cry when she has your grandchildren."

"What do you-"

Cole clicked off his phone.

-End of Flashback-

Kyle looked over at her daughter's boyfriend, who had a distracted look on his face. He walked over to him. "I'm sure she's going to be okay."

"It's all my fault," muttered Cole. " If my parents hadn't called her a prostitute, she wouldn't have become like this."

Kyle looked over at his elder brother with a pained look on his face. "Tommy, could you…?"

Tommy moved over to Cole and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Kyle looked at the ground with a sigh. If anything happened to his precious daughter, he would end his life. His White Tiger meant the whole world to him. She was like her mother, only gentler. He smiled and thought back to the day when Alyssa had watched High School Musical.

-Flashback-

"Daddy, look!" squealed Alyssa. "High School Musical on now!" She turned on the pout. " Please???"

Kyle grinned and switched on the cable TV.

"Thank you, daddy!"

"You're welcome, sweetie." He called as he walked upstairs

A few minutes later, the sound of singing reached his room.

-End of Flashback-

"Kyle…Kyle…" called his brother.

He looked over to see him besides him. " You okay?"

"I'm fine, Tommy, I'm fine."

Outside the hospital, Andros and Cassie were approaching their destination with their arms linked, when they met Leo and Kendrix.

"I guess Cole contacted you too."

"Yeah, he was damn distracted."

"Like, totally." Jason yawned as he entered the conversation with Kimberly on his arm. "It's like, six in the morning," he complained.

Kim punched her husband's shoulder. " We're supposed to be here to help him, not complaining." She informed.

"Oh, look, there's Carter!" Leo interrupted, in case another argument started.

"Dana contacted me." He informed.

"Guess he must have called every Red ranger," snorted Jason, as another pair approached.

"Hey, give Cole a break will you?" snapped Taylor. " Ever since Alyssa left, he's devastated."

Kim smiled at Taylor. " Better listen to Taylor. She can kick your butt, just like Alyssa."

"Oh, don't remind me," groaned Jason as he remembered his humiliating defeat at the last ranger party.

Cassie grinned, then remained grave. "We should go and see Cole."

Cole was tired, but he was going to stay at the hospital. He blinked when some couples arrived.

"Hey guys," he greeted wearily.

"Hey."

"How' she?"

"She's still inside," Cole shuddered and looked at the ground, trying to control his tears.

"It's okay," assured Taylor, seeing him. " Just let it out."

One second later, he was sobbing. "I can't live without her, Tay, I need her."

"We know, we know."

Kimberly looked around. "Where are Tommy and her father?"

"They went back."

Just then the operating room doors opened, and a doctor came out. Cole stood up and moved over, with his friends gathered behind him.

"How's she, Dana?" asked Cole.

Dana had a sad look on her face. "Alyssa made it, but the babies…we couldn't save them. I'm sorry Cole, I'm sorry." She apologized.

Cole just let the tears fall. " Lyssa…I'm sorry…"
