Author's Note: Rocky gossips, and then cooks breakfast. Anaya explains where babies come from.
Rocky grumbled in his sleep as his alarm went off; he reached for it and slammed it down on the table. "Stupid" he mumbled looking at the time. He decided last night that he was going to call Kim and Aisha and get the scoop on what exactly was going on between Kat and Adam. If anybody knew, it'd be them. He picked up his phone and hit Kim's speed dial.
"This better be good Rocky DeSantos," a distinctly annoyed voice came on the phone.
"It is, I promise. How've you been Kim?" Rocky replied as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"Gee, how have I been? SLEEPING, that's how I've been, considering its FIVE IN THE FREAKING MORNING!" Kim practically screamed into the phone. "Time difference Rocky, ring a bell?"
"Shit! I'm sorry Kim, don't kill me, this is really important," Rocky pleaded. "Kat was here when I got to Adam's last night," Rocky relayed quickly. "They were sleeping on the couch."
"So, Kat's been spending a lot of time with Adam, big deal," Kim grumbled.
"They were sleeping together all curled up in each others arms!" Rocky exclaimed quietly.
"Really?" Kim asked, her mind waking up more at the idea of a romance. "Spill it Rocko."
Rocky told her all about what happened when he got there, about the picture, and the look of jealousy in Adam's eyes. "I swear, before we went to bed, every time I hugged Kat or she hugged me, Adam looked ready to kill."
"Oh my god, how sweet!" Kim squealed. "But they aren't together though right?"
"Right."
"I'll call Kat later and get more out of her; they would be so cute together!" Kim said happily.
"Yeah, well I'm going to call Aisha, give me a call after you talk to Kat, so we can see what's going on, and umm, I'm really sorry I woke you up," Rocky told her apologetically.
"You're lucky this was worth it, I'll only kill you a little bit next time I see you," Kim said with a laugh before saying goodbye.
Rocky hung up and hit Aisha's speed dial number, not realizing that she too was on the east coast. "Come on 'Ish, pick up the phone" Rocky mumbled.
"Rocky DeSantos, you have 10 seconds to tell me why you felt it necessary to wake me up at ass o'clock in the morning before I hope a flight to where ever you are and kick your ass," a very disgruntled yellow ranger ranted into the phone.
"Umm, because I think Kat and Adam like each other and when I hugged Kat Adam looked ready to kill me but when I asked them about it they both said they weren't hooked up but they were both blushing so I know there is something to hide, please don't' kill me." Rocky rambled quickly, knowing that the wrath of Aisha was worse than anything Kim could come up with.
"What? Kat and Adam? You'd better explain Rocky," Aisha said after a few moments in which she had to decipher what Rocky said.
Rocky explained once again what he'd witnessed between them the previous night, and his thoughts on the matter. "Adam tells you everything, so I think you'll be able to get more than I would out of him."
"Adam and Kat, now that is an interesting concept. I wouldn't have thought it ten years ago, but things change. Look, keep an eye on things today, report back to me tonight, and I'll call Adam and see what I can drag out of him, if I can't get him to talk, I betcha Tommy can."
"Thanks Ish, I love you," he said in an innocent tone, hoping she'd forgotten he'd woken her up at an ungodly hour.
"I love you too Rocky, but don't think you aren't getting payback for waking me up mister, I'll get you when you least expect it," and with that, she hung up the phone.
"I'm doomed," Rocky said as he shut his phone and lay back against his pillows.
"Hey Unca Rocky?" A little voice piped up from the doorway of his bedroom. "Daddy and Kat-erine are still sleeping and I'm hungry, can you make me sumthin' ta eat?"
"Of course kiddo," Rocky said slipping out of the bed. "Hey kiddo, you know everything right?" He asked, picking her up.
"Duh! Of course I do," she said with a giggle.
"What is going on with your daddy and Kat?" He asked; figuring children can be the most honest people in the world, and great help when scheming.
"I dunno Unca Rocky, but Kat makes my daddy smile a lot, and my daddy is always doing things for her, like opening doors and stuff, and they do laundry together. So I think they're gonna make babies."
Rocky nearly dropped her from the shock of that last sentence, "What? Why do you think they are gonna make babies?"
"Oh Unca Rocky," she said with a sigh, giving him a look that said 'clearly you are a dumbass.' "Don't you know anything? When a boy and a girl wash their underwear together, they make babies," she explained in a patient tone.
"Really? Who told you that?" Rocky asked with a laugh, wait till I tell Adam that, he thought to himself.
"Justin, he knows EVERYTHING," she said in wide-eyed amazement.
"Oh boy," Rocky said as he set her down on the kitchen counter, "you are going to be a handful someday kiddo."
"I already am," she replied with a mischievous grin.
Author's Note2: Just a cute little scheming chapter to set things up. Anaya's explanation of how to make babies is from my own childhood, my dad's best friend told that to me when I was little.
