Dana and Carter - Chapter 10 / Future

Dana's POV
"Well... You are pregnant" He said and I looked at Carter who looked terrified and I think the doctor seen our distress "This is not a planned pregnancy?" He questioned and I shook my head "OK, there other options... Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you have to now become parents" He handed me some leaflets and started talking about different options but I couldn't hear a word he was saying. I was pregnant. My schooling is over, my life as a power ranger was over and everything was going to change.

We sat in the car after the appointment had finished and neither of us knew what to say, we were both in shock I mean we had only been together 6 weeks, Carter didn't even want us to share a room at the Aquabase yet because we hadn't been together that long and now we were going to have a baby "What are we going to do?" He asked.

"I'm not having an abortion if that's what you mean" I answered.

"I wasn't suggesting that, I just meant where do we go from here? We need to go somewhere and really talk about this... The Aquabase isn't the best place to go there are people everywhere and people walking in and out, we need to go somewhere quiet" He said and I just nodded in response and he pulled away from the car park.

We ended up on a secluded part of the beach we were defiantly not going to be disturbed by anyone we knew over here "Whatever you decide to do Dana I will stand by you, whether it's keeping the baby, aborting the baby or giving the baby up for adoption... Whatever you want I'll be there" He told me.

"Carter I'm not deciding what to do myself, this is OUR baby we need to sort this out together. Do you want me to keep the baby? Abort it? Give it up for adoption? We have to think about what we both want not just me" I explained to him.

"I don't know what I want Dana this is still sinking in, I don't know how I feel about it and I don't know what I want to do about it" I could tell he was irritated but so was I.

"Carter I want to keep the baby" He looked up at me in shock "We made this mess not the baby, I know I'll probably have to give up school and being a ranger but it's what I want. Carter if you don't want the same thing then you need to tell me now so I can decide what to do about my future" I said.

"Your future? Dana you don't have a future now. When you have a baby your whole life changes and there's nothing you can do about it, you just said it yourself you will have to drop out of school and quit being a ranger... Are you sure you want to do that?" He questioned.

"Yes I'm sure. It doesn't sound like you want me to keep this baby so what you said five minutes ago about being there for me whatever I chose was a lie was it? Hoping I would abort the baby or give it away?" I was angry at him! I stood up from where we were sitting "I want to go home" I said and he got and we walked towards the car in silence.

Back at the Aquabase I went straight to my room and Carter followed but I told him to go away and slammed the door then when I turned around I seen Kelsey, Chad, Joel and Ryan sitting on the sofa watching a movie together. They stared at me for a moment then Ryan came rushing over and started asking me what was wrong and what Carter had done but I didn't want to talk about it I just wanted to be left alone "C'mon Dana tell me what he did and I'll sort it our" Ryan pleaded, he was looking for a chance to have a go at Carter.

"Ryan I don't want to talk about it I just want to be alone" I left my room and went to Ryan's room which was obviously empty and locked the behind me. I went and laid down on his bed and found myself letting all the emotion of the day out and just burst into tears and they wouldn't stop.

Carter' POV
I was in the galley getting something to eat when I heard someone call my name and I turned around and seen Ryan standing at the entrance to the galley looking like he was about to kill me, I don't know if Dana has told him or if she just said we had an argument but I wasn't going to tell him she was pregnant unless he said he knew.

One second Ryan was at the door the next he was in front of me punching me in the face, he lunged at me and I lunged back. We ended up fighting, we were punching each other and pushing each other into table and just trying to hurt each other "Hey, break it up now!" We both stopped and seen Captain Mitchell standing there looking angry "My office now!" He shouted and we made our way to his office.

"Dad he's made Dana upset! She came into her room after being out with him and was crying and said she wanted to be left alone! I wanna know what he did" Ryan stated loudly to the Captain who was sitting at his desk.

"Ryan. Dana is a big girl and can take care of herself, if she and Carter are arguing about something then it's none of our business... Unless he's cheated on her or something like that" He threw a look at me.

"No it's nothing like that, we just... Want different things" I told them.

"OK well then I'll leave it to you to sort out then, you're dismissed" We both went to walk out "Not you Ryan" Captain said and Ryan went back to where he was before.

I went to my room where Joel and Chad were sitting "Hey, what happened to you?" Joel asked when he seen my bleeding lip and ripped shirt.

"Ryan happened" I simply stated.

"Yeah we were going to ask you... Is everything OK with you and Dana?" Chad asked.

"No. Me and her have made such a mess of things and now it looks like I'm the bad guy as usual, we both want different things right now and I truly think this is the end for us" I told them.

Dana's POV
I stood in my dads office and he was looking at me waiting for me to speak, I told him I had something to tell him but I never thought telling my dad I was pregnant would be this hard "Dad I... Well you see... The thing is... I can't be a ranger anymore because well, dad I'm pregnant" I blurted out and waited for his angry reply.

"Pregnant? What do you mean you're pregnant? Is this what you and Carter are arguing about?" He questioned.

"How do you know me and Carter are arguing?" I asked.

"Him and Ryan had a fight yesterday because Ryan said you were upset about something" He answered.

"Are they both OK?" I asked.

"Yeah they're fine just a couple of bruises" He said.

I took off my morpher and handed it to him "I spoke to mum and she said I could go stay with her across town" I explained to him.

After speaking to my dad and explaining to him that I wanted to keep the baby but Carter didn't he understood why I was leaving and said he and Ryan would come and visit all the time but at my request they would leave Carter alone and let him do his job until Queen Banshera is finished.

I went to my room and started packing my things away "Dana where are you going?" Kelsey asked when she came in and seen me packing.

"I'm leaving" I answered.

"Why?" She asked.

I sighed and sat her down on my bed "Kelsey I'm pregnant, I can't be a ranger anymore and I'm going o go and stay with my mum" I explained to her.

"What about Carter?" I was dreading that question I didn't want everyone to hate him.

"We want different things" I simply answered.

After I had packed everything up Ryan said he would drive me to mums, I hugged everyone goodbye and told them I loved them and would keep them updated, Carter knew I was leaving but he didn't come to say goodbye which told me everything I needed to know about what sort of man he was.

When I got to my mums I went up to my old room and started unpacking everything, I just wanted to be left alone I didn't want her asking questions or anything until I wanted to tell her. She knew I was pregnant and Carter wasn't going to be involved but I hadn't told her I was quitting school just yet I wanted to let the first problem sink in first which it hadn't I knew she was disappointed in me even though she hadn't said it.

How did my life change so much in a matter of weeks? Well I'm glad I found out what sort of man Carter was before we got married or something but I was hoping he would have changed his mind by now and I wouldn't be doing this alone.
