And here's the next chapter.

As always, thank you all for the feedback.

"I can't believe how nuts she is," Kimberly said that Monday evening. She, Tanya, Aisha and Trini were all in Katherine's apartment- discussing Cait. Katherine and Rocky's friends had been surprised to hear of the pregnancy and marriage, but, of course, they'd support them every step of the way. Anyway, Katherine's female friends had come over almost immediately after leaving their jobs.

"I think Cait surpassed "nuts" a long time ago," Trini said. The former yellow Morphin ranger was a writer for the Angel Grove News. Also, she'd gotten together with Billy- who was a computer engineer, naturally- a year and a half ago.

"Ain't it the truth?" Tanya agreed. "She was really outta line."

"Big time," Aisha said. "I mean, I've known Rocky most of my life. Meaning I knew from the first second I met Cait that it'd never be serious between them. Whatever fantasies she has about them having "a happily ever after" would always be just that: fantasies. Regardless."

Katherine sighed and shook her head. "I tried to tell her pretty much the same thing, but, she wasn't having it. She honestly thinks I've ruined her life. Of course, if she's living only for a guy, then, it's not much of a life anyway."

"No kidding. You know, if Cait really cares anything at all about Rocky, she'd be puttting his child first," Kimberly said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Then, Kimberly gasped and Trini groaned when she noticed the grin on her childhood friend's face.

"What's up?" Tanya asked as she casually rubbed her pregnant belly. It looked as though she was about to pop at any second. But, then, carrying twins would do that to a woman. She was more than relieved that her sons were due to enter the world in a couple weeks.

"Kim has wedding plans on her mind," Trini replied, smiling and shaking her head.

Aisha grinned. "Oh, yeah! We do have a wedding to plan."

Katherine laughed. "Not really. Considering the situation, I really just want something simple." She didn't even know when she and Rocky were getting married and her friends were already talking wedding plans. It was hilarious.

"We can do simple," Kimberly said. Trini made an amused sound and Kimberly smirked at her. "We can, Kwan."

"Yeah. What do you have in mind, girl?" Aisha asked Katherine.

"Well, a ceremony in a small chapel, maybe. Just close friends and family. Family," Katherine said, her eyes wide. "Oh, no."

"What's the matter?" Tanya asked in concern.

"I can't believe I forgot... . My parents don't know yet," Katherine said.

"Oh. Well, you know they'll be supportive," Aisha said with a warm smile.

"And they'll also treat me like a teen that needs at least thirty "responsibility" lectures a day," Katherine said in a dry tone- causing her friends to laugh. Katherine knew her parents loved her and that Aisha was right- they would support her. But that didn't mean she was looking forward to telling them. There was also Rocky's parents. She groaned inwardly.

"Well, ladies, small ceremony or not, we've still got work to do. So, I'm thinking that we should..." Kimberly was saying.

"In a second!" Rocky yelled as he headed for the front door of his apartment. "Keep your friggin' pants on," he muttered as the person continued to knock insistently. He shook his head, then, unlocked and opened his door to find none other than Caitlin standing there. Irritation slammed into him instantly. "What?" he snapped.

"Rocky," she said quietly. She looked as though she'd been crying. Also, her hair and clothes were sort of rumpled.

"What do you want, Cait?" he asked, his tone free of emotion. So she'd been crying. Big whoop. Why should he care? Especially after what had gone down between her and Katherine. It might have seemed insensitive, but, seriously, Cait had nerve. What the hell gave her the right to butt into his personal life? And she'd ignored his child's needs. How could he ever want a person like that?

"Rocky, you know the answer to that!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening. "I want you to tell her that you've changed your mind. God, Rocky. Don't let her come between-"

"Between what?" he said. "Cait, you and I aren't together."

"We could be! Just tell her you don't wanna go through with this. She's trying to trap you," Cait said emotionally.

"How- Cait, I asked her to marry me," he said.

"Because she manipulated you! Don't be fooled by all that sweetness crap. I'm willing to bet all the money in the world that she got pregnant on purpose," Cait said, her eyes flashing.

"Seek help, Cait," he said, shaking his head. Wow... . He was almost starting to feel a little sorry for her.

She sighed in frustration. "Rocky, I really can't believe you don't care even a little bit about my feelings! This misguided loyalty to Kat is totally blinding you!" Her voice was rapidly rising in pitch.

"I really can't believe how wrong I was about you. When Kat told me what happened... just get outta my sight," he said. He could take ditzy. But disregard for his kid? Hell, no.

She shook her head fiercely. "Rocky, please don't do that. Don't send me away. I just need you to get that I only did what I did outta love."

He snorted. "If basically attacking the mother of my child is your idea of love, no, thanks. I'll pass."

"Don't!" she screeched.

"Keep it down," he said, more than a hint of harshness in his tone. He glared at her- partly in disbelief, partly in annoyance.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I just- I want us to have a chance," she said, her eyes pleading with him.

"Cait-" he began.

"Don't keep rejecting me, dammit!" she yelled with sudden anger. Then, she prepared to slap him, but, he caught her wrist and she just glared at him.

"You need to leave," he said.

She jerked her wrist free. "I wouldn't be losing my cool like this if you weren't so damned stubborn. I'm telling you, Rocky. If you go through with this marriage, I won't be responsible."

"Cait... stay the hell away from Kat," he said, his voice low.

She scoffed. "Oh, please. I'm not gonna go anywhere near your precious Kat. I'm talking about me! If something happens to me, it'll be on your head."

"What are you even talk-" he began.

"Oh... you'll know. You'll know," she said, nodding. She flashed him a cold smile, turned and stormed off.
