Windian Baby Chapter 3, a power rangers fanfic

Note : I don't know how to write in baby talk, so please bare with me. Also, as a side note, I don't know anything about any of their families, except that Shane has an older brother and little sister, Tori, I think, has a sister and I don't know if she just lives with her mom or anything, and Dustin lives with his parents.

So more or less, please bare with me (Again) because I am trying to keep them as in character as I can.

Also, I will be trying to update at LEAST once a week.

And thank you so much to my reviewers:)

GinaStar - Well, I'm hoping for quite a bit of cute, as well, but funny will be nice. LOL. I hope you like how it turns out. :)

JuseaPeterson - The whole no family thing kind of came out of nowhere. I mean, I didn't realize they were connected like that until you mentiond it. LOL. But I'm trying to stay in the character's heads as much as possible. Also, the Hunter/Cam banter is easy, since I can so see them glaring at each other and being smart with each other, you know?

star-dreamer09 - Well I've read Rangers being turned into children and such, and I think that might have been where this originally came from, but at the same time, I like to try odd mixings and such when writing. Usually, it's something from a game or movie, mixed into Power Rangers. As for Hunter stories... I TOTALLY agree! LOL

pinklen98 - I know. I mean, can you see tall dark and broody Hunter taking care of an adorable baby? It's sooooo cute:)

(At the Apartment)

It didn't take me long to get there, and I found myself blushing as I stood outside their door.

For a brief moment, I felt a little bad for stopping by at 5:30 in the morning, and wondered if they got any sleep at all. I actually almost turned and walked back out to my van, but I bit my lip and shook my head, turning and knocking slightly.

Please let them be awake. I thought as I really hoped I wasn't waking them up.

There was silence on the other end of the door and I made a face at the realization that they must've been asleep still. I turned to walk away when I heard the sound of someone tripping over something, a muffled curse and the lock turning.

Turning back to the door, I gave a sheepish smile to Blake as he opened it, blushing when I saw that he was still half asleep.

"Hey Tor." he greeted with a smile, yawning a little.

Narrowing my eyes, I began to laugh quietly and pointed to his shirt. "Do you always make a habit of sleeping in baby food covered clothing?" I asked after a moment.

His head shot down before looking back at me with a small smile and a shrug. And if I didn't know any better, I'd have sworn he was blushing, too. "What can I say? I was up for a while, trying to get Taelin to eat enough." he stated with a wince. "By the time she was full, pretty much all the baby food was gone, or we were wearing it..." He made a disgusted face. "And I was too exhausted to change."

He stepped to the side and I walked in, noticing with a wince of my own, the mess of baby food on the floor and all over the table.

"Oh, and I was too tired to really clean up, too." he muttered, definitely blushing as he looked away akwardly.

"I see that." I stated with a face. Shaking my head, I brushed a hand through his hair, blushing when he seemed to relax. "You've got massive bed head." I muttered absently, trying to explain my actions.

"Hunter's still asleep... I think." he said with a smile as he brushed at his hair. "He was out cold when you put Taelin in with him, and I dunno if she woke him up."

Nodding a little, I gestured quietly for him to follow me and set off down the hallway to the bedrooms. Stopping at Hunter's open door, I looked in and covered my mouth quickly to keep from laughing at the adorable sight.

Hunter was sleeping, like Blake stated. He was on his side, covered up to the bottom of his throat with a crimson quilt. Buried in his throat was a little head with long black hair that was laying across her half of his pillow, and two white, fluffy wings, which peaked out of the top of the quilt.

"Dude..."

Turning at Blake's whisper, I saw the fond smile on his face. "Do you have a camera?" I whispered to him.

Frowning for a moment, he seemed to think about it before snapping his fingers and nodding. He crept silently down the hall, and I thanked the ninja teachings for stealth, and returned two minutes later with one of those instant cameras. Creeping into Hunter's room, he froze still when Hunter's head tilted down a little and one of Taelin's hands crept up to her face, but they didn't wake up.

Once he was by their side, he leaned forward and took a picture, almost streaking back out of the room when he was done.

We decided to leave them to get a little more sleep and went back into the kitchen. Blake placed the camera aside before making a face and grabbing the mop.

"So, it looks like she had one of those growth sput things Cam was talking about." I stated quietly, moving the chair out of the way, grabbing a paper towel and wetting it before I started on the table.

"How old do you think she is now?" Blake asked with a slight frown.

I stopped cleaning for a moment as I thought about it. "Well, I think she might've been maybe a few months when we found her. If she grows by a couple of years, I'd say...2 or 3...maybe?" I offered cluelessly.

"So she can eat solid food now?" he asked with a hopeful look.

"If what Cam said about the knowledge is right, then yeah." I said with a nod. "She should be more or less able to feed herself now, too, but she's still gonna make a mess."

Blake made a face before sighing. "Well, it's better as long as she doesn't decide we'd look better wearing her food." he muttered in disgust, picking at his shirt.

I laughed a little and shook my head as we continued cleaning up. I had to admit, I was impressed. They boys were doing a good job.

...So far.

I still couldn't help but break out laughing when I recalled Blake running for cover when it was time to change her diaper. I didn't think it was humanly possible to run that fast without streaking, and the look of absolute horror on his face...

(Ops, Hunter's POV)

"Hunter!"

Blinking, I raised my head from the table and looked at the energetic little girl that just called my name. "Yeah?" I asked wearily, thankful Sensei let me have the day off.

Walking over to me akwardly, Taelin smiled a smile full of baby teeth.

It made me wonder how a baby could age like her, gaining a full mouth of teeth, overnight, and not wake up screaming in pain.

...Not that I was complaining.

She went from being a few months old, to the age of 3. Apparently, Cam figured she'd age 2 or 3 years a night, during her sleep. In place of the baby we'd been taking care of was an adorable little girl with bright violet eyes and long black hair.

Tori went shopping for clothes for her, and we found out that she could speak, a little, walk, although she was akward on her feet, and feed herself, although she still makes quite a mess. Luckily, there was no problems with the clothing shopping, but Taelin couldn't go because of her wings.

"What yoo doing?" she asked with a grin.

"Resting." I answered, covering my mouth as I yawned.

Her grin faded and in it's place a pout formed. "Yoo don want play wit me?"

I closed my eyes tightly, frantically thinking of some excuse that would make her happy, but at the same time, allow me to rest.

"Hey, Tae-tae!"

I opened my eyes again and blinked the blurriness away as Dustin came walking over with a smile.

"You wanna play?" he asked as he knelt down to her height.

Changing my glance to her, I watched in confusion as she seemed wary of him and shook her head as she practically buried her face into my side. I lifted my arm and pulled her closer and she relaxed against me, clutching the side of my ninja leather top as she seemed content.

I frowned a bit and shook my head at Dustin who looked a little hurt and confused. "She's been like that with Shane, too." I muttered quietly. "She's wary but otherwise ok with Tori. She doesn't seem to care for Cam..." Not that I find that confusing or unusual at all... But she practically jumps all over me and Blake.

He nodded a little and shrugged. "Well, at least she's calm now." he muttered sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Nodding, I looked back down at how she was staring at him. The look she had was one of total confusion, like she'd never seen him before. I could understand that. I mean, she'd never seen any of us before yesterday.

What got me was there was almost a vague sense of recognition in her eyes when she looked at Blake or me.

"Hm, I've figured out more from the text." Cam stated from the computer. He called Tori and Shane in from sparring and Blake from one of the back rooms, where he'd been sleeping, and once eveyone gathered, turned to us.

Blake sat beside me, so that Taelin was sandwiched more or less between us, and I felt her relax even more before she buried her face into my side. It was strange. I was really uncomfortable with having a little girl, from another planet, seemingly so dependant on me, but at the same time, I felt... Well, right.

It was like something in the back of my mind was telling me I had to protect her.

And that only served to make me even more uncomfortable.

"I've managed to find more on the Dragon Clan." Cam started as he looked over us all, seated around the table.

Taelin's body stiffened and I frowned as I looked down at her. I remembered Cam saying vaguely that she was linked to them, but I didn't understand how.

"They left Arnon, their home planet and Taelin's, a while ago, because their race as dying out there. There was an ancient evil, which tried to pass through into their world, but Dragon Clan blood kept it sealed away. Still, they were hunted by servants of this evil, and in the end, were close to being completely killed, off, so they fled."

"They came here." Shane stated with a frown.

Cam nodded and sighed. "Yeah, more or less. They deemed it close enough to their planet. There's only one problem." Turning back to the compuer, he typed some things into the keyboard. "It says that they supposedly disappeared generations ago. No one knows if they still exist or if they died off."

"Well they can't have died off." Tori stated with a firm shake of her head. "If that was the case, why's Taelin here?"

Once again, my attention was drawn to Taelin, and I saw her eyes sparkling more than usual. I didn't know if it was because she was trying not to cry, or maybe she knew something...

"Well, from what I figured out, it seems that they may have hidden. They were basically humans with dragon blood, and were able to hide their forms. Their natural form would be humanoid with dragon wings, and they can change into dragons."

"So they might still be around." Tori stated as she glanced briefly to Taelin.

"It seems that if they are not needed, Dragon Clan members can become normal humans. Their dragon spirits go dormant. In other words, all access to their power and other forms are gone." Cam turned back to us and adjusted his glasses. "And in order for their dragon blood to be re-awakened, they have to be called upon by a Windian."

Taelin giggled and everyone turned to her. "Dragon." she giggled out as she squirmed against my side.

"Dude, like, do you know who the dragons are?" Dustin asked her in confusion.

She grew self-conscious and clung to me tightly before nodding slowly. Then she shook her head and her eyes, and the collar, both began to glow a deep wine color. "Not time." she stated in an eerie, calm and serious voice. "It's not time yet." Then the glow was gone and she giggled again.

Dustin's eyes were wide and he looked totally freaked by what happened. Shane shuddered involuntarily and made a face, quickly looking to the table. Tori raised an eyebrow before silently turning to Cam with a questioning look.

Cam frowned deeply and spun back to his computer, typing away at a furious pace.

Looking at Blake, I noticed he seemed more confused by the others' reactions than by what just happened with Taelin, and I know I felt the same. Out of everyone here, I think we were the only ones who weren't freaked.

Not that we saw that sort of thing every day, or thought it was normal...

After a few moments, Cam frowned and seemed to lean in closer to the screen as he read something that came up. "That collar is heavily enchanted. Other than the speed boost to her DNA growth, and the knowledge, there's also a warning. I'm not sure I understand, but if she's questioned about the Dragon Clan, before a certain time, that happens."

I nodded and looked down when I felt Taelin moving against my side. "Bored!" she whined, pouting at everyone.

Blake laughed a little and looked around. "Anyone know how to keep a 3 year old amused for a few hours?"

"That is impossible!" Tori shot, giving him a look. "There is absolutely no way to keep a 3 year old amused!"

Shane grinned broadly and made a show of looking at his wrist, even though he wasn't wearing a watch. "Well, I think we should get back to sparring."

Dustin nodded quickly. "Yeah dude, I'm totally with you there! Good luck, guys."

The two of them took off as fast as they could, and I felt myself giving Tori a beggng look.

She bit her lip and looked at Taelin a moment before nodding. "Well, why don't we go to the beach? She can play in the shallow water."

Taelin nodded happily and jumped up, her white wings fluttering wildly in her excitement and Tori's face fell.

"Oh, yeah. Bad idea." she stated quietly.

I looked over at Taelin and saw her eyes water up as she sat back down quietly. She knew exactly what Tori meant, even if she didn't really understand why she had wings and we didn't. I felt my heart constrict painfully towards her, knowing that she just wanted to live a normal life, but with her wings, that was pretty much impossible. Reaching over, I gathered her towards me and picked her up, setting her in my lap as I held her tightly.

She began to cry, and though I felt akward, I also just couldn't bring myself to let her go. I felt her little hands clutching my top tightly as she sobbed into my chest, and wished there was something we could've done.

Tori apparently felt the same, and her face saddened a lot as she turned to Cam. "There's gotta be something we can do!"

"She's like the Dragon Clan. She can will her wings away, but I don't think she's old enough to understand that, or know how." Cam stated turning around with a sympathetic look. "And it would take time to simulate a beach here, for her."

I shook my head. "Don't bother." I stated quietly, rubbing her back a little. I grimaced when Tori glared at me and I realized how my words came out. "I mean, by tomorrow she's gonna be almost twice her age now, right? She'll probably know really soon how to make her wings invisible, or whatever, and then she can go to the real thing." I tried to explain.

"That'll be fun." Tori stated with a roll of her eyes. "Hunter, she's not comfortable around me, Shane, Dustin or Cam. And you're almost never at the beach."

Blake raised an eyebrow with a 'What am I, chopped liver?' look. "Well I can always take her, or I'm sure Hunter's not gonna shy away from the sand and sun." He grinned a little at me. "Or did you turn vamp when I wasn't looking?"

I jumped a foot in the air when two little hands were placed on my face and I looked down, blinking silently to seeTaelin was looking up at me with about as much seriousness as a child of her age could manage, and grinned a little.

She shook her head. "No. No sharp teethies." she stated with a giggle as she looked at Blake.

Tears were still in her eyes, and there were tear trails down her cheeks, but she still gave a bright smile and sniffled a little.

I found myself laughing a little, and Blake and Tori joined in.

I had to admit, as weird as it was taking care of a child, especially one with wings, it was also kind of nice. Taelin was absolutely adorable and sweet, and though she could be a pain, having the others there to help us out made it a lot easier.

Ok, who else is practically melting over Hunter acting so protective and comforting? LOL. I'm still stuck on the image of him sleeping with the little brunette head under his chin. LOL. I mean... KAWAII!!!!!! (Aka, that means adorable/dear/sweet/cute in japanese) LOL

I want to try and focus on brotherly love, as well as the bond between Blake and Tori. I want to do Hunter/OC, but I'm not sure how the bond would turn out since he raised her from a baby. I'm having doubts about that pairing, but I want to pair Hunter up with someone, so I'm working on it.

Hope you like it.
