Ch. 15 Forbidden

Six weeks later Jenna sat on her bed crying uncontrollably. How could she have let this happen? She hoped that her friends would leave her alone but she knew that it was an unlikely wish. They all knew she had went to the doctor and she was sure they would all want to know what was said, especially Andros. As if on cue there was a knock on her door.

"Who is it?" she asked, not even bothering to hide her tears.

"It's me and Brylee," Karone answered. "Are you okay?" She tried to answer but she couldn't because of the tears. In a matter of seconds the other two girls were in the room. "What's wrong?" Jenna didn't answer and both girls worried. Was there something wrong with their friend? They knew that the only way they would be able to get any answers was to calm Jenna down.

"Come on, Jenna," Brylee began, "it can't be that bad. Plus, whatever's wrong we'll face it together just like we always do."

When Jenna still wouldn't calm down Karone asked, "Do you want me to get Andros?" At the mere mention of her brother's name Jenna became hysterical.

"No!" she screamed. "Don't get him! Promise you won't get him!"

"We promise," Karone replied. Silently she told Zhane the situation and told him to keep Andros as far away as possible. After he told her that he had Andros she turned her full attention back to Jenna and put up mental blocks so Andros couldn't get any emotions from her.

Meanwhile, Andros was pacing back and forth questioning DECA, "Why won't you tell me what the doctor's report says about Jenna?"

"That information is classified," she responded, wishing that she could just tell him.

"DECA, I am the leader of this team!" he yelled. "I need to know if there's something wrong with anyone on it, especially Jenna." The A.I. didn't respond and Andros turned to Zhane. "You know what's going on don't you?"

"If you'll sit down and calm down I'll tell you what I know," Zhane replied. He nodded and took a seat beside Zhane. After he took a few deep breaths the other stated, "That's better." At Andros' glare he knew he needed to start talking. "Karone told me that when she and Brylee went to see Jenna she was very upset. When she asked if Jenna wanted you there she freaked out so she told me to keep you away until they could get the info out of Jenna." Zhane could tell by the hurt look on Andros' face that he couldn't believe that Jenna had reacted like that at the mere mention of his name.

Back in Jenna's room, Karone and Brylee finally managed to calm their friend down and she started telling them what had happened at the doctor's appointment. "Everything started out fine and when I told her that I had been sick to my stomach the last couple of weeks she took some blood. When the results came back she said that everything had come back normal besides for one thing." She stopped there trying to build up the courage to say the one statement that would change the rest of her life. "I'm…pregnant."

"You're what?" Karone asked, knowing that she must have heard her wrong.

"Pregnant," Jenna whispered, tears forming in her eyes but refusing to fall. She saw the next question coming and answered it. "Yes, Andros is the father."

"I think you should tell him," Karone stated. "I don't think he'll be upset."

"But we're too young," Jenna argued. "We're not ready to be parents."

"But you're going to be," Brylee interrupted. "You can't change that now and I know Andros will want to keep the baby."

"You're right," Jenna admitted. "I guess I was worried about his reaction but we've talked about this before. I just don't know how my parents will react."

"Tell Andros first,: Karone told her. "Zhane says he's driving him crazy and then you guys can make a plan together." Jenna nodded and the other two girls walked to the door.

"Hey," she began, causing them both to turn around, "please don't tell him I told you first."

"We'll acted surprised when you decide to tell everyone else," Brylee promised and they left. It wasn't long before Andros was standing at her door, obviously terrified to come in. Jenna berated herself but then set out to make it right with Andros.

"Come on in," she stated. "I have some very important news to tell you." Andros came in slowly and sat down on the bed as far away from her as possible. Jenna cringed as she realized that she had hurt Andros by not speaking to him first. "I'm sorry that I didn't talk to you first but I wasn't sure how you would react." She moved closer to Andros and pulled him into a hug. He relaxed a little and Jenna knew that she needed to tell him before she lost the courage to do so. "I need you to promise me that you won't run out of her when I tell you what the doctor said."

"I would never run away from you," he promised and she felt herself wanting nothing more than to believe him.

She took a deep breath and blurted, "I'm pregnant." She closed her eyes before she could see his reaction and waited for the sound of her door opening and closing. Instead she felt his arms wrap around her and he kissed her head.

"Why were you so scared of telling me?" he questioned and she cringed even though there was no anger in his voice.

"I don't know," she replied in a quite voice. "I know we talked about kids but we're so young I didn't know what you would think."

"I understand," he told her. "Listen, I know we haven't technically been dating that long but I've been wanting to ask you something for a long time." With that he stood from the bed and shocked her by dropping to one knee. "Will you marry me?" She was so shocked that she couldn't say anything and she had to settle for nodding. Andros jumped up and pulled her into his arms. He pulled back suddenly and asked, "Did you tell Karone and Brylee?" Although Jenna felt guilty she shook her head. "Well, I think we should go tell them together." As they walked out of her room hand in hand she knew that they were going to be okay.

Six months had passed since Jenna had found out she was pregnant. She was now seven months pregnant and since fighting had started becoming hard on her Andros forbid her to fight. She had resisted at first but had to admit that her fiancée was right. They had planned to get married before the baby was born but Jenna's parents had refused to sign papers to allow their daughter to "throw her life away" as they had put it. Andros had assured her that after they had both turned sixteen they would get married and she was happy with that.

At the moment they were at the doctor's office finding out if they were having a little boy or girl. Secretly Jenna was hoping for a little boy who looked like Andros because she understood that he wanted a little boy more than anything. Not that he wouldn't love a little girl but Andros wanted a little boy to carry on his legacy.

"It's good to see you again, Jenna," Alden stated as he came into the room. He laughed at Andros' expression, obviously Jenna hadn't told him he was her doctor. "Andros, it's about time I saw you here too. I was starting to think I wasn't going to see you until this little one came out."

"Why didn't you tell me he was your doctor?" Andros questioned. Jenna shrugged and Andros just laughed. "I was planning on coming in here today and threatening you if anything were to go wrong but I don't think I have to worry about that."

"I'll take care of her just like I did your mom," Alden promised. "How 'bout we see what this little trouble maker's going to be?" Both expecting parents nodded and Alden began the ultrasound. "Okay, we have a head, two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, and…" he paused to reposition the ultrasound, "well I think we all know what that extra appendage means. So, what's this little guy's name going to be?"

"Demetrius Brytan," Jenna answered immediately and Andros nodded.

"At least you guys aren't arguing," Alden stated. "I really thought you and Karone were going to be Baby 1 and Baby 2 for the longest time."

"Can we get a print out of that picture?" Andros questioned and Alden nodded. "Everyone wants to see a picture of their nephew." Alden printed the picture and set Jenna's next appointment. Before his uncle could say anything Andros stated, "I'm not going to miss anything else, I promise." The words had barely left his lips when their morphers beeped. "Can you make it back?" At Jenna's nod he teleported out to help the other rangers.

"I wish I could still do that," Jenna sighed.

"Only two more months," Alden told her. "After my great nephew is out here you can go back to saving the universe." Jenna nodded and teleported back to the safety of the Megaship. When she arrived she had DECA make a copy of the ultrasound picture and went to her room to write a note for her parents. She put it in a blank envelope and had DECA teleport it to the kitchen table of her parents' house. It wasn't long before her friends returned and after bandaging a few injuries, mostly Andros', they were all cooing over the picture of the baby.

"He's so cute," Karone cooed. "I can't wait until he's here for me to spoil. Do you guys have a name picked out?"

"Demetrius Brytan," Andros told her. "We think we'll probably call him Brytan but you guys can use either or both."

They spent the next several hours going over list after list of everything they would need for Brytan. They had already had a baby shower but now it seemed as thought they would need so much more. So the girls left the boys to put together everything they already had while they went and got anything else they could think of. Three hours later when the girls returned the boys were happy to see that, besides for a few toys, they had bought mostly clothes.

"I really thought you guys would do more damage than this," Xadrian admitted and the other boys nodded in agreement.

"We thought about it," Jenna snickered, "but we decided to take it easy on you guys." They all laughed and then started organizing the nursery.
