Star Fata: You're right, he is better off with Ashley but he still loves Akako.

Ch. 20 Little Miracle

Akako looked at the doctor in absolute shock. She had come in today for her scheduled check-up and she gets news like this. Sure she and Andros had been sleeping together but they had never discussed this.

"Are you alright?" the doctor questioned, holding onto Akako's shoulders in case she were to pass out. Akako nodded her head a little although she really wasn't alright. What was she going to do if Andros didn't want a child? How was she going to fight? What would her parents think? "I think he'll love the news, Akako," Dr. Silverman whispered. She had known Andros for years and considering she was the only doctor at the Academy she spent a lot of time with the rangers. "But you have to tell him. Don't keep it a secret or it'll hurt him." Akako nodded and slowly stood from the bed. "Now, I want to see you again in three months and no fighting."

Akako walked out of the doctor's office a little more positive than she had been when she had first been told about the miracle she was carrying. Hopefully Andros would be as excited as she was now. Plus this would give them an excuse to move up their wedding date, something both of them had wanted to do for a long time. As she teleported back to the Megaship she was worried she had made a mistake but Dr. Silverman hadn't said anything about teleporting had she? No, Akako decided and she resumed her search for Andros. She figured that it would be a lot easier to tell the others once Andros knew and would be by her side. She found him in his room staring at a picture of his parents. She knew that it still hurt him and prayed for anyway to take his pain away but she knew she couldn't. It would hurt him every day of his life.

"Can I come in?" she asked quietly from the hallway. He nodded, immediately placing the picture back in the nightstand beside his bed. When he looked back at her he could tell that she was nervous about something, what he wasn't sure of, but he hoped it was nothing bad. "I have something I need to tell you."

"What?" he questioned, lifting her head up to look him in the eye. "You know you can tell me anything."

"I can't fight anymore," she stated, knowing that wasn't what she wanted to tell him but she was still scared of how he would react.

"Why can't you fight? Did Dr. Silverman tell you something was wrong? DECA, what's wrong with…" She cut him off by placing a finger over his lips with one hand while using that other to bring one of his hands to her stomach. "You're…pregnant." Akako nodded and Andros smiled broadly. "We're having a baby?"

"Yes," she answered. "I wanted to tell you first so we could tell everyone else together."

"What did she tell you exactly?" he asked, wanting to know every detail of her visit.

"Just that I couldn't fight and I go back in three months," she replied, smiling at his enthusiasm but when it began to fade she asked, "What's wrong?" He shrugged, ashamed of his own fear and suddenly Akako understood. "You're afraid you'll be like your father?" Andros nodded and she wrapped her arms around him. "You'll never be like him. If you are I'll be forced to hurt you." He couldn't help but smile and his enthusiasm returned. He'd be a better father than his father ever thought about being he'd be the greatest dad ever.

"Let's go tell the others," he whispered. "They'll be so surprised."

"I was surprised too," Akako replied and they both laughed, heading off hand in hand to find their friends. The other rangers were gathered on the Bridge doing their duties of the week. "We have some news. Meet us in Kinwon's office in ten minutes." They all nodded and the couple headed to the Commander's office. Once there Akako contacted her parents and asked them to come to hear some news.

When everyone arrived Andros took over, "Everyone sit down please." He looked over at Akako and added, "You too." She only nodded and took her seat somehow feeling that Andros wasn't going to let her do anything for the next nine months.

"So, what's this big news that woke me up from my nap?" Alejandro asked, although he was smiling widely.

"Well," Andros began, "Akako went to Dr. Silverman today for check-up and she found out something interesting." He looked over to her and she nodded.

"She told me that I wouldn't be fighting for at least the next nine months," Akako explained, leaving it to everyone to figure it out on their own.

"Nine months?" Aamirah questioned and then her eyes lit up. "Congratulations!" She ran over giving them both a huge hug while everyone else was still looking on in confusion. "She's pregnant!"

"Congratulations!" Everyone else added after her mother had spelled it out for them.

"Way to go, little brother," Zarkin stated, hugging his brother tightly.

"I can't believe you're going to be a dad," Karone stated as she hugged her brother. "You'll be a great one though."

"And you guys will be great aunts and uncles," Andros replied.
