THE DAY JUST WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE

I don't own anything though I wish I did sometimes. All the disclaimers still apply though.

Chapter 15

The next day Tommy sat in his hospital bed thinking. He still wasn't sure what to do or if he was going to see Kimberly or not. He wanted to. He really did but he wasn't sure how he felt about things. All he knew is that he felt sad and was in a lot of pain about the loss of the baby. He also knew that the only person who could understand what he was going through was Kim. But honestly how does one greive with someone who was probably just as shattered or more shattered than he was? He lost a baby.. but so did Kim. In fact she probably lost more than he did but their grief was the same.

All of the sudden he saw the door to his room close and then take on an erie red glow. Before he knew it Lord Zedd appeared in his room but as he materialized he was sitting on the dresser on the far side of the room. Lord Zedd studied Tommy a moment before saying "I didn't figure you for a coward white ranger."

"I am no coward Zedd!" Tommy exclaimed

"Right now Kimberly lays in her hospital room crying her self into quite a state. You are here sad but not making a move to go anywhere near her. Kimberly carried a child for you for a few weeks and even though she lost it she still carried it. You grieve but before this little stay of yours you didn't even know about a baby. You loved her just as you always did. Now because of some little news you turn your back on her. Your as they say on Earth "Your baby's mama." I'm sure everyone is probably more understanding than I am... proud even. All I can say I am ashamed of you white ranger. I find it hard to imagine that I did not beat you in the old days or that with this attitude I even helped you escape. You are a coward white ranger. If you cannot admit that than you are more in a denial state than anyone else I have ever met. What is it you have to say white ranger? Go ahead and say it. I spelled the door and no one will come in until I leave. We have all the time in the world right now.

"Lord Zedd I mean no disrespect but why do you care?" Tommy questioned

"Well boy I have spent years watching you and your friends. Let's just say I have developed a bit of an attachment to you and you already know how I feel about our Kimberly. Why on Earth would I not care? Why do you not care enough? Why is it that I care more than you do? She is afterall pratically your girlfriend. The girl, if I am not mistaken, the one whom you wanted to marry. Isn't that what you told that nurse of yours?"

"Zedd you have never lost a child so you don't know how this feels."

"You do not know that. You have no idea if I have ever lost a child or not. Just because we have battled and now have some understanding you have learned very little about me. I am not likely to disclose my most private thoughts everytime we saw each other. In fact you have learned more about me this week than everything you knew about me before put thogether. But if you are curious than yes I have. Rita was unable to carry ours. It was quite devestating but she and I were able to overcome it and we are not quite as compatable as you and Kimberly are."

"Zedd... I had not idea. I'm sorry." Tommy said shocked

"I do not need your pity White Ranger. I wanted to make you see sense but I am unsure if I will get through to you or not. So now I think it time for me to leave. I would like to stay but my wife needs me. I want to leave you with these words.. If you love her than be with her. If you don't than you need to let her go. Let her go now and get all the grief out of the way. It would be quite cruel to do it later. Just know this either way you decide if you are not there for her during this than you will lose her for good. You won't even have friendship left or a chance of it. You will become the point of her anger and resentment." With that Lord Zedd disappeared, the door opened, and a nurse came inside.
