Ch. 16 Saving Lives

Two weeks had passed quickly and with each passing day everyone was getting more excited about the arrival of Brytan. Day by day the battles got harder and harder and the fact that they were one ranger short was becoming a bigger factor. Jenna had offered time after time to help them but they had all refused. At the moment they were down fighting and Jenna was watching from the safety of the Megaship. Suddenly she saw a group of small children wonder into the fight. She thought about calling the others but knew that they couldn't get to them in time so she decided to go herself.

When she arrived she landed directly in between the group and Darkonda and stated, "You're not going to hurt them." She morphed and began fighting, not noticing Ecliptor coming up behind her. When she finally realized him she yelled, "You guys need to get out of here!" Once they were out of sight she turned her full attention back to the fight. She could feel herself beginning to get tired but she knew that she had to keep fighting, The sudden pain in her stomach caused her to double over and she realized this had been a mistake. The pain caused her to demorph just a Darkonda brought his sword down again. She heard Andros scream her name as she fell to the ground.

Thirty minutes later Alasdair rushed into the waiting room and stated, "Andros, you need to come with me." Once they were away from the group he explained, "It doesn't look good but she wants to see you." Andros nodded and walked through the door of Jenna's room.

He saw a strange man standing at the bed and demanded, "Who are you?"

"He's a minister," Jenna strained to say. "He's going to marry us since I'm sixteen and your parents aren't here to say no. I want you to make my decisions for me." Andros nodded and the 'ceremony' began. "Promise me that if something happens you'll tell them to save our son."

"Jenna," he began, but at her glare he continued, "I promise." He only left her side when they told him he could no longer stay.

Two hours later Alasdair came out and asked Andros, "What do you want us to do?"

"Save our son," he whispered, as tears poured down his face. Alasdair nodded to a nurse who rushed to tell Alden.

"Why did you ask him?" her mother demanded. "She's our daughter."

"And she's his wife," Alasdair replied. "Your daughter made it very clear that she wanted Andros to make the decision. And if we don't get the baby out now, neither of them will make it."

"Andros, do you want to be in there?" A nurse questioned and he nodded. She hurriedly got scrubs for him and rushed him into the room. As soon as he cleared the door the sound of cries filled his ears.

"I want to see him," Jenna begged weakly. "Please let me see my son." A nurse handed Brytan to Andros and he hurried to Jenna's side. "He looks like you. Take care of him." With that her eyes slid shut. Nurse after nurse came over to him. One took Brytan from him while another pushed him out of the room.

"What happened?" Karone asked gently as her distraught little brother came back into the waiting room.

"She's gone," he forced out.

"This is all your fault!" Jenna's father yelled. "We lost our daughter because of you!" Xadrian, Brylee, and Aalion stepped in and took Jenna's parents to another room leaving Zhane and Karone to pick up the pieces of their friend.

"What about Brytan?" Zhane questioned, coming to stand with the siblings.

"He's fine, I think," Andros replied. "He was out when I walked into the room and I took him so Jenna could see him. Then, everything happened so fast. One nurse took him away and another pushed me out the door."

"Andros," Alden began from the doorway, Alasdair at his side, "we couldn't do anything for Jenna We're sorry. Brytan, on the other hand, seems to be okay. We'll have to run some tests to make sure but he'll probably be in the NICU for a few days." He and Alasdair moved closer then, knowing that Andros was going to need all the support he could get.

The next two days seemed to last forever and it ended up that Brytan wouldn't eat on his own so the few days quickly turned into weeks. At the moment Andros was sitting beside Brytan's crib watching him sleep.

"You know," he began, stroking his some's small hand, "this would all be so much easier if you mother was her." Brytan sighed in his sleep, almost like he was agreeing with his father. "I love you, little man. I promise nothing bad will ever happen to you."

"The social worker's here," Alden stated behind him. "I'll stay here while you talk to her." Andros nodded and left the room knowing that if he didn't impress this lady there was a good chance that he would lose his son forever.

"Alden said you needed to speak to me," Andros said as he took a seat across the table from a very serious looking woman.

"Yes," the woman stated, "my name is Maya Wright. The biggest question is do you plan on keeping the baby?"

"Brytan," Andros corrected through clenched teeth. At Maya's confused look he added, "His name is Brytan."

"Okay," Maya replied. "Do you plan on keeping him?"

"Of course I do," he answered. "He's my son. I won't let anyone take him from me." He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself before they continued. "And yes, I am 15. I know what it takes to raise a child. I have a sister, uncle, doctor, and 4 friends to help me if I need it. I promised Jenna I would take care of our son and I don't plan to break that promise."

"Since you are so determined," Maya began, "I'll put in a good word for you to keep Brytan. However, another social worker or I will be checking in on you every couple of weeks. If we ever see something that worries us we will talk to you but we'll have to report it, okay?" Andros nodded, feeling a little relieved. He could handle this. Sure nosey people would be checking in on him but if that's what it took to keep Brytan he would do it.

"How'd it go?" Alden asked when his nephew stepped back into the nursery. Andros explained the situation and then Alden gave him some very good news. "I checked Brytan out while you were gone and as soon as he eats three bottles on his own he can go home." Andros smiled, knowing that everything was going to be okay.
