Ch. 14 Showing Love

A little over a year later the rangers were still searching for Ajax and Bella. To make things worse Dark Specter had found himself two new followers, Dagomar and Dahana, which seemed to be in a private war trying to see who could destroy the rangers first.

At the moment Jenna was standing in the doorway of the Bridge of their new home the Astro Megaship staring at the lone figure sitting at the consoles. He was dozing lightly in his chair, an image from their last fight with Dagomar frozen on the screen. Jenna sighed to herself and looked up at the ceiling, praying that she would somehow find a way to fix this problem. She jumped when a hand landed on her shoulder and she looked back to see Zhane and Karone behind her.

"Looks like I'm carrying him back again," Zhane stated. "We have to find another way to do this. I'm getting tired of this."

"I know," Jenna replied. "I just don't know how to get through to him."

"None of us do," Karone added. "Maybe if we beat him over the head he would understand what he's doing to himself and to the rest of us."

"I doubt it," Zhane whispered. "Let's get his to bed and maybe we can talk to him in the morning." Karone handed him a sedative in case Andros fought them again this time. She hated doing this to Andros but no one could get through to him, not even Jenna. Zhane didn't even bother trying to pick Andros up before giving him the sedative. When the girls looked at him strangely he shrugged. "I just didn't feel like a fight tonight."

The next morning Andros woke up to find his bed surrounded by his six friends, Kinwon, Alasdair, and Alden. As he looked around the room he noticed that he wasn't in his and Zhane's room but in a hospital room. He tried to sit up but the room began to spin and he fell back on the bed.

"What's going on?" He demanded, although it came out more like a forced whisper.

"Not sleeping plus not eating isn't a very good combo," Zhane told him.

"Now, you'll be in here until Alasdair says you're okay to come home," Karone added.

"And you won't be fighting until we are sure you are one hundred percent better," Kinwon stated. Andros thought about arguing but he was too tired. He nodded his head and went back to sleep.

"Well, that was easy," Aalion said light-heartily.

"Only because he was still stated," Jenna explained. "He'll be more difficult next time."

Jenna was right about that. The next time Andros woke up it had been like fighting a war just to keep him in the bed. Luckily, Jenna had been able to calm him down and had explained their point-of-view. It hurt Andros deeply when he realized that he had once again hurt the people that mattered most to him.

"I'm sorry," he whispered to everyone in the room. "I won't do anything that stupid ever again."

"I don't know if you should go that far," Zhane stated, causing everyone to laugh. "You'll probably do something equally as stupid in a few weeks but all we need you to do now is get better. We're getting our asses handed to us without you there with us." Andros nodded and they spent the rest of the day talking about what it would take to get him back home.

A week and a half later Andros was released from the hospital. His friends were happy to have him back but assured him that he would end up back in the hospital again if he didn't follow the instructions given to him. They were extremely surprised that he was doing as he was told.

It wasn't until a month later that Andros started to stray from his instructions but no one could be angry with him because Dagomar and Dahana kept attacking in the middle of the night. One night, after a particularly tough battle, Andros found it impossible to go to sleep and soon found himself on the Bridge. It wasn't long before he was joined by Jenna.

"Couldn't sleep," he replied to the unasked question. Jenna didn't reply she just made her way to his side and sat down.

"Why don't we try to go back to bed?" she asked.

"I don't think that I'll be able to go back to sleep tonight," he answered.

"Will you at least try?" she questioned. Andros shrugged and walked with Jenna back to her room. Andros paused as he walked through the door, realizing that he hadn't been in her room since they had moved on to the ship. "Well, come on in," Jenna stated, pushing his through the door. "I know that I'll sleep better knowing that you're at least trying to rest. Now get over here and lie down."

He did as he was told, knowing that arguing would only get him in trouble. As he laid down he couldn't help but think about the dreams he had been having about Jenna for the past few weeks. He hated that he was thinking about her that way mainly because he didn't know if she shared his feelings and he hoped she would never find out. He was pulled from his thoughts when a pair of warm lips were pressed to his.

"Stop thinking so much," she ordered. "We'll find your parents and we'll win this war."

"I hope you're right," he replied. Jenna sat down on the bed and kissed him again.

"Andros, I love you but if you don't stop sulking I'll have to hurt you."

"I'm not…" He was cut off when she kissed him again. He finally allowed himself to stop thinking and just live in the moment. It didn't take long for the effects of their actions to make themselves known. Andros pulled away fully intent on apologizing and going back to his own room but Jenna pushed him back down.

"Where do you think you're going?" Jenna asked.

"I…uh…are you sure?" he stuttered.

"This is the first thing I've been sure of in a very long time," she replied. Andros slowly leaned in and kissed her. It wasn't long before their hands started wondering. Andros shuddered as Jenna's hand slid across his chest. He raised his arms as she tugged at his shirt and pulled it over his head. When Jenna froze he took advantage to pull her shirt off as well. It wasn't long before their other clothes joined the pile. They both explored the others' body and it wasn't long before Andros found himself above her.

"You're sure?" he asked one final time, knowing that if they didn't stop now there would be no stopping. At her nod he slowly pushed his hips forward and entered her. She whimpered and he held himself perfectly still until he felt her relax beneath him. When she finally opened her eyes all she could see in his eyes was his unconditional love for her.

Later that night Jenna found herself unable to sleep. She just kept replaying the events of the night in her head. She was caught off guard as Andros' arms tightened around her waist and she forced herself to lie still to keep from waking him. She still couldn't believe that they had slept together but she didn't regret it and hoped that Andros felt the same.
