"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?" Sami asked Nikki as they left their parents home and Nikki was on her way to the doctor's.
"No, I'm a big girl I think I can manage to go the doctor by myself," Nikki replied.
"Then what was all that stuff you said to Drake about us having some last minute wedding details to take care of?" Sami questioned.
"I just didn't want him becoming suspicious and besides we do have something important to take care of, we're going to Reefside remember," said Nikki.
"I haven't forgotten, but I still think you should let me come with you to the doctor," Sami told her.
"If you really want to help then why don't you go to the bridal shop and pick out a dress for me, just pick something simple, not something you'd wear but something I'd wear," Nikki replied.
"I still think it's a bad sign that you don't care enough to pick out your wedding dress but I'll do it, just call me the minute your appointment is over," Sami told her.
Nikki dropped Sami off at the nearest bridal shop and then headed to San Francisco Memorial where she had an appointment with Dr. Shelia Smith.
"Hi, I have an appointment with Dr. Smith," Nikki said as she walked up to the receptionist.
"Are you a returning patient or a new one?" the receptionist asked.
"I'm a new patient," Nikki said.
"Just fill out these forms and then we'll be calling you back shortly," she told her.
Nikki sat down and began filling out the power work but she couldn't really concentrate on what she was doing. Her mind was racing as she thought of what she and Sami might find in Reefside. Was there really something missing from her life? And just what did it have to do with the power rangers?
"Ms. Mitchell?" a nurse asked and Nikki was brought back to reality.
"That's me," Nikki said as she handed the nurse her forms and followed her back to an exam room.
"Just change into this gown and the doctor will be in with you shortly," the nurse said as she left Nikki alone.
Nikki changed into the gown and waited for the doctor to come when the room filled with tiny blue lights and her cousin Chris appeared.
"Chris, what the hell are you doing here?" Nikki asked.
"Looking for you of course," he replied.
"You have to get out of here what if someone comes in and wonders how you got back here," Nikki said.
"Sorry but your fiancé said that you've been acting strange lately and he asked if I'd come and talk to you but he said you and Sami were out doing wedding stuff so what are you doing in a doctor's office?" Chris questioned.
"I think I may coming down with the flu and I don't want to end up sick at my wedding so I just thought I'd come in and get checked out, but don't you dare breathe a word of this to Drake, I don't want him worrying over nothing," she answered.
"Why do I get the feeling you're being less than truthful to me?" Chris asked.
"I don't know maybe because you're just naturally suspicious of everyone or is it because everyone's always suspicious of you," she replied.
"Look I only came here as a favor to Drake," Chris told her.
"Well go back and tell him that I'm fine, now get out of here," she said as they heard the doorknob being turned and Chris orbed out just before the doctor arrived.
Nikki walked out the doctor's office and out to her car. For her own piece of mind and just so Sami would stop hounding her, she had asked that the doctor do a pregnancy test. The doctor wasn't sure when the results would come in, it all depended on how backed up the lab was so for now Nikki just wanted to concentrate on her search in Reefside.
"So what do you think?" Sami asked as Nikki entered the bridal shop and Sami held out the dress she had picked.
"It's fine, let's just buy it and get out of here," Nikki told her.
"Don't you even want to try it on and see how it looks?" Sami questioned.
"No if it fits you, it should fit me, now let's get going," Nikki told her.
They paid for the dress and then Nikki drove them back to Sami's apartment.
"So what'd the doctor say?" Sami asked.
"Nothing they won't have my test results until later, now are you ready to do this," Nikki replied.
"Reefside, here we come," Sami told her.
They orbed into the alley of a place Sami had found online known as Hayley's Cyberspace.
"Hi, welcome to the Cyberspace," a red haired woman said as they walked in the door.
"Hi I'm Sami and this is my sister Nikki," Sami spoke.
"I'm Hayley, I don't believe I've seen you two around here before, are you new here," Hayley replied.
"We're just passing through," Nikki told her.
"Actually, maybe you could help us out with something," Sami said.
"Sure, what's the problem?" Hayley asked.
"We were wondering if you could tell us about the power rangers, we heard there was a group of rangers here," Sami told her.
"There was but not anymore they defeated their enemy and there haven't been any rangers around here for well over a year now, why are you two so curious about them anyway," said Hayley.
"We used to hear stories about them all the time when we were younger, when they were located in Angel Grove and we just thought it would be cool to actually see them in person," Nikki answered.
"Well sorry, you're a year too late for that," Hayley said as she went over to help a customer.
"So much for that," Sami commented.
"Yeah, I feel like I know Hayley from somewhere but she didn't seem to recognize me so I guess I was mistaken," Nikki told her.
"Let's just head home," Sami said as they walked out of the door.
"Actually, do you mind if we stop in this bakery, I'm kinda hungry and I'm not ready to go home just yet," Nikki said.
"Sure why not, I hope they have cheesecake," Sami said as they walked in the door.
"What can I get for you two?" a blonde haired woman who's hair was pulled back into a ponytail asked.
"I'll take a chocolate chip muffin and my sis here would love some cheesecake if you have it," Nikki told her.
"Coming right up," the woman said as she smiled.
"You guys are in for a treat, Sara's an amazing cook," a man with short brown hair remarked.
"Thanks for the tip, I'm Sami and this is my sister Nikki," Sami said.
"Tommy Oliver, nice to meet you," he said. Nikki turned around to greet him and a strange feeling came over her as she looked at him in the eyes, she stuck out her hand to shake his and the minute they touched she began to feel very faint and everything faded to black.
Nikki woke up sometime later and immediately realized that she wasn't in her bedroom in her parents' home but she was in someone's bedroom. She got up off the bed and looked around at her surroundings, they seemed familiar somehow.
"Oh you're awake," Tommy said as he entered the room.
"What happened, where I am?" she asked.
"You fainted in the bakery and your sister insisted that you didn't need to go to the hospital so I suggested that we bring you here," he told her.
"This is your bedroom?" she asked.
"Yeah, I would have put you in the guest room but I haven't really gotten around to fixing it up yet," he explained.
"It's nice, I almost feel like I've been here before somehow, but I guess that's impossible you would probably remember me if I had," she said.
"I'm sure I would, a beautiful woman like you would be hard to forget," he replied.
"You wouldn't happen to know the previous owners would you, maybe I know them," she said.
"No sorry, I went through a realtor when I bought the place, I never met them," he said.
"There's something very familiar about this place though, I just wish I could put it together," she said as her cell phone began to ring and she reached into her pocket to grab it.
"I'll give you some privacy, come to the kitchen when you're ready, Sami said you hadn't eaten so that's probably what made you faint in the first place," Tommy said as he left the room.
"Hello, yes this is Nikki Mitchell," Nikki said as she answered the phone.
Minutes later, Nikki descended the stairs in Tommy's home and made her way into the kitchen where she found Sami, Tommy and Sara sitting around the table.
"Feeling better?" Sara asked.
"Yeah, thanks," Nikki said.
"You have got to taste this, not only is Tommy hot but he can cook too," Sami said.
"Sami!" Nikki exclaimed.
"It's ok Nikki, Sami's right he's hot and he's a good cook especially since I came into his life," Sara said as she gave Tommy a kiss the sight of which for some reason made Nikki sick to her stomach.
"Sami, we should go home now," Nikki said.
"But you haven't even eaten yet," Tommy told her.
"We'll take some to go but we really should head back before our family starts to worry," Nikki replied.
"Are you sure you need to rush, we haven't even had a chance to talk yet," said Sara.
"Maybe next time, Sami let's go," Nikki said a little too sternly.
"Ok, um thanks Tommy for your hospitality," Sami said as she followed Nikki to the front door.
"Don't you guys need a ride back to the Cyberspace?" Sara asked as she too came outside.
"Yeah, right, I forgot we left our car there," Sami lied.
Sara drove them back to the Cyberspace. They got out of the car and Sami pointed to a car near the end of the parking lot and waved as Sara pulled out of the parking lot and left.
"Alright we're alone now, so why don't you tell me what happened back there," Sami said once they were alone in the alley.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Nikki told her.
"First you faint the minute Tommy touches your hand and then you looked almost sick to your stomach when Sara kissed him, and you couldn't get out of there fast enough," Sami replied.
"My getting sick had nothing to do with Tommy, the doctor called and he said that I'm pregnant," Nikki answered.
"So I guess you and Drake didn't stick to your deal after all," Sami said with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Nikki questioned.
"Don't you remember after you got engaged you said that you didn't want to have sex with Drake anymore until the wedding, something about making your wedding night more special," Sami told her.
"Oh my gosh you're right, we did, that's why I was so sure that I wasn't pregnant," Nikki replied.
"But evidently did you did break the deal, no matter you'll be married soon enough maybe we can convince the family you got pregnant on your honeymoon," Sami teased.
"I don't think there will be a wedding," Nikki told her.
"Why wouldn't there be a wedding?" Sami questioned.
"Because this isn't Drake's baby," Nikki said in almost a whisper.
