Chapter 39 This Weird Feeling
March 2, 2005
Kira walked in to the darkness of the cyber café. The only light source came from a television which was being watched my Conner and Ethan. She cleared her throat to get their attention. They looked up at her and smiled. Ethan got up and took her by the hand.
"Look at this," he said.
"There are 995 channels on this baby," Conner explained.
Kira rolled her eyes as she sat in between the two.
"And I bet there's still nothing on," she said.
"Where's Trent," Conner asked.
At first, he wasn't sure she was going to answer him because it didn't seem like she was going to turn his way.
"With his dad," Kira said.
When he finally turned back to the television screen, he found out way she hadn't looked at him.
"Is that…" Conner began.
"Us? Yeah," Ethan said.
They were walking a Chinese version of themselves. The Rangers had the same costumes as them and everything.
"But how…" Conner began.
His eyes couldn't stay off of the screen. How did they know about them?
"It's crazy, isn't it," Ethan asked.
It got even crazier when they heard the morph.
"Hey, that's our call," Conner snapped.
"Okay, that's weird," Kira said.
They spent the rest of the episode in silence.

Kira had just walked down the stairs into the lab. There was something not right with her.
"Kira, you look pale," Kim said.
Kira put her left hand in the air and closed her eyes.
"No, I'm good," she said.
"You sure," Ethan asked.
She was soon surrounded by Trent, Conner, and Ethan.
"I'm…" Kira began.
But she didn't finish her sentence.
"Kira," Trent gasped.
He was able to catch her before she hit the floor.
"Kira, wake up," Conner begged as he helped Trent lay her down on the couch.
"Kira…" Tommy began.
She sat up and gasped for air. Trent put his hand on her back.
"Wh…What happened," Kira asked.
She looked around the room to find everyone was staring at her.
"You tell me. What's wrong," Ethan asked.
She looked at Tommy, Kim, Conner, and Trent. They had the same worried looks on their faces.
"I honestly don't know," Kira confessed.
"I'm taking you the doctors tomorrow," Kim said.
Their looks now were on Kim.
"Why can't…" Kira began.
Kim knew she was going to ask why her parents couldn't take her.
"They don't need to worry," she said.
Kim didn't want her uncle and aunt to worry just yet if Kim's guess was right.
"Neither should you," Kira snapped.
Kim looked down as Kira stormed out of the house, Trent hot on her tail.

Kira had her head down, arms crossed in disgust.
"I can't believe I'm here," she said.
Kim looked at her, and then also looked at the ground.
"This is for your own good," she told her.
"You're not my mother," Kira snapped.
Kim looked up to find Kira's glaring at her.
"I know I'm not. I'm your cousin that's worried for you," Kim said.
"Kira Ford," a nurse called.
Kira and Kim looked at each other.
"Do you want me to come with you," Kim asked.
"I don't care," Kira said.
With her head down, Kira entered the cold room.
"Now, what's the matter," the doctor asked.
"Nothing…" Kira began.
"She fainted, and her face was pale," Kim told the doctor.
Kira took a deep breath and looked towards the door.
"Well, she looks fine now," the doctor said.
"See," Kira snapped.
She got up and began walking towards the door. There couldn't be anything wrong with her. Why was Kim doing this?
"I want her to take a pregnancy test," Kim suddenly said.
Kira stopped as she reached for the door. She turned to Kim, a blank look on her face. So this was the reason.
"Are you her mother," the doctor asked.
"Well… no," Kim said.
As Kim looked down, Kira opened her mouth.
"I'll…I'll take one," Kira said.
Kim looked up at Kira somewhat shocked.
"Miss Ford…" the doctor began.
"Please, just give me one," Kira said
He handed her one, and Kira went into the bathroom. Ten minutes later, Kira came out. Kim was waiting for her.
"Well…" she began.
"I'm pregnant," Kira whispered.
She was clearly still in shock. Kim had known the signs, but didn't what to say anything to the others if her guess was wrong. That's why was hadn't even told Kira her guess.
"What am I going to do," Kira panicked.
"It's going to be alright," Kim said.
The smile Kira gave looked like she was in pain. What was going to happen now with the team… with Trent?

It had been a week since Kira found out she was having a baby. This was the last thing she thought would be happening to her. She still hadn't told Trent yet. As a matter of fact, Kira hadn't spoken to him since the night she fainted. Why was he acting so different? The answer was revealed to them as the alarm went off.
"No way," Ethan gasped.
Tommy, Kim, Hayley, Ethan, Conner, and Kira were staring at the computer screen in the lab.
"It can't be," Tommy said.
They were looking at the White Ranger destroying the city.
"Trent," Kira cried.
She ran to join Tommy, Ethan, and Conner in the middle of the room to morph.
"Kira, no," Conner said.
Kim ran up to her.
"You're going nowhere," she said.
"But…" Kira began.
"You're pregnant," Hayley said.
Kira looked down at her still flat stomach. She had seemed to have forgotten that small detail.
"It's too dangerous," Tommy said.
"Just be careful with him," Kira sighed. "You don't want this baby growing up without a father, do you?"
"We'll try talking to him first," Ethan assured her.
"We don't want to have to hurt him," Conner said.
They all looked at him in shock. Conner himself even seemed to be stunned by his words.

Kira and Ethan were walking down the hall of the school in between classes. They were in a heated argument about Trent. No one wanted her anywhere near him.
"Ethan, I cannot just stop talking to him," Kira said.
"Kira…" he began.
Kira turned to the person Ethan was looking at. Without saying a word, Kira made her way towards him. Ethan tried stopping her, but it was no use.
"Trent," Kira called.
He turned to her with an annoyed look on his face.
"What do you want," Trent asked.
"I want to help," Kira said.
Trent laughed and turned around.
"No thanks," he said.
Kira wiped her eyes as he walked away. When she looked up, Ethan was by her side. She couldn't believe Trent was acting like this. At least the last time he had wanted help.
"When are you telling him," Ethan asked.
She looked at him, but didn't answer fast.
"When the time's right," Kira finally said before they went to their separate classes.
"What's up with you," Cassidy asked, noticing the sour look on her face.
"Don't start with me," Kira snapped.
Unknowing to Kira, Trent was looking at her through the window.
"Not going soft on us, are you," a voice asked.
Trent gasped and turned from the door.
"Zeltrax," he whispered. "Are you crazy? You're going to get caught. Leave!"
"Falling for the enemy," he asked, peering through the window to look at Kira.
"I'm not," Trent protested.
"Better not be," Zeltrax said.

Kim, Aisha, Tanya, and Kira were at the park enjoying the day. Trini was busy with work, so she couldn't make it. Three of them were at least seemed to be enjoying it. Kira looked like she was in another world. There were so many things going through her head.
"Kira, you should be happy," Aisha said.
She looked up at her, but didn't say anything. All the kids were at Aisha and Rocky's.
"Yeah, we're having a girls' day out," Tanya said.
"My baby's father's trying to kill us," Kira blurted out.
Kim looked over at Aisha and Tanya, then back at Kira.
"Kira, he'll…" she began.
"You don't know," Kira cried. "What if he doesn't come back from this?"
Aisha put her hand on Kira's shoulder.
"We just have to have hope," she said.
"This sucks," Kira sighed.
"Of course it dose," Tanya said.
Kim handed Kira a sandwich.
"Eat," she told her.
"Thanks," Kira said.
They could've sworn Kira had given a small grin.

Kira and Conner were walking out of school at the end of the day. The days seemed to have been longer and longer ever since Kira found out she was having a baby.
"Have you…" Conner began to ask.
"No," Kira yelled.
Conner looked down, regretting he had asked. He wondered if it was her hormones or just that she was tired of him and Ethan asking her every minute.
"Damn, it's early for your hormones to be acting like this," Conner said.
"How would you know," Kira asked.
He looked away from her angry face. His mouth then dropped to the ground. The reason for Ethan not being with them was answered.
"Hey, look at that," Conner said.
Kira had to do a double take. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"No, way. Ethan and…" Kira began.
"Cassidy Cornell," Conner finished.
That's right. Ethan and Cassidy were walking side by side. They said goodbye and Ethan made his way towards Kira and Conner.
"Hey guys," Ethan said.
"Ethan James and…" Kira began.
He rolled his eyes and spoke before she could finish her sentence.
"We're just friends," Ethan said.
"Right, whatever dude," Conner laughed.
Ethan also had to laugh as Conner slapped his hand on his back.

Hayley and Kim were moving what looked like a stone to the edge of the lab.
"He can't be," Kim panted.
Before Hayley could say anything, three figures came walking down the stairs. Ethan, Conner, and Kira stared in shock.
"What happened," Ethan asked.
He couldn't keep his eyes off it.
"Is that…" Kira began.
She couldn't believe Tommy was solid as rock.
"Dr. O," Conner asked.
"Trent fossilized Tommy," Hayley said.
The three looked over at her. Their mouths were still a little opened. No one knew what to say about this. What did this mean? Was Tommy dead or alive? The only person that seemed to know was the red head beside Kim.
"You can get him out though, right," Kim asked.
Her voice was cracking. Not knowing if Tommy was alive in what seemed to be stone was killing her. What was she going to do if he was dead?
"I'll see what I can do," Hayley said.
No one said a word for a long time. If there was anybody who could save Tommy, it would be Hayley. Billy was off on a business trip, so he wouldn't be any help now.
"I hope there's something," Kim sighed.
"I'm sure there is," Kira said.
"Yeah, Hayley knows what she's doing," Ethan told Kim.

The next day, Kira, Ethan, and Conner came to the lab to see if Hayley had made any progress. Hayley nor Kim seemed to have gotten any sleep. That led to them believing that Hayley had never gone home. The fact that she was still wearing what she had on yesterday should have been a dead giveaway.
"Well…" Ethan began.
Hayley finished typing something on the computer then turned to them.
"I think I got it. Cross your fingers," she said.
Hayley had encased Tommy in a closed chamber. She picked up a jar of green goo and inserted it into a machine.
"What the…" Conner began.
"No," Kim yelled.
Kim buried her head in arms and looked the other way. Then she heard gasps.
"It worked," Ethan said.
Kim turned slowly to find Tommy opening his arms to her.
"Oh, Tommy," she cried.
She ran into his arms, never wanting to leave them.
"Can you let go long enough for me to demorph," Tommy laughed.
Kim smiled, tears running down her cheeks.
"Power down," Tommy yelled.
Nothing happened.
"Power down," Tommy yelled again.
Again, nothing happened.
"Tommy…" Kim began.
Everyone had a concerned look on their faces. Why couldn't Tommy demorph?
"Hayley, we might have a problem," Tommy said.

Kira took a deep breath as she walked towards Trent in the hall at school. Before she said a word, he looked at her and rolled his eyes.
"Trent, listen…" Kira began.
"There's no use," he said.
She looked at him lovingly. He looked down as she took his hand. Kira didn't want to at first. To her surprise, he didn't pull away.
"I thought you'd fight back," Kira said.
That sentence triggered something in him and he pulled away.
"You're right," Trent said. "I don't know why you even try."
She tried grabbing his arm again as he turned away.
"Trent…" Kira began.
Making sure no one was paying attention to them; Trent pulled her close to him.
"Do you want me to hurt you," Trent asked.
"You can't… you wouldn't," Kira said.
Her voice was shacking. She had never seen Trent like this before.
"Really," Trent asked.
Without thinking or caring, Kira put his hand to her stomach.
"You wouldn't hurt your unborn child, would you," Kira asked.
Trent's eyes grew, and he backed away.
"You're not pregnant," he said.
This scared him so much that he took his books and started walking to his next class, not daring to look back.
AN:
So Kira finally told Trent. Will Hayley be able to help Tommy? One more update to go!!!
