Mmmm...Tarzan. Part 2!
Melanie found Adam and Andrea sitting side-by-side in a small lounge-like room that looked like it hadn't been used in years. "Hey, you okay?" she asked Adam quietly, walking over and sitting on the other side of him.
"I guess……." He replied, almost inaudibly, as Melanie slid an arm around his shoulders.
"Adam, look, just because Billy knows doesn't mean that he's going to go around telling everyone. He's very trustworthy." Andrea gave him a sympathetic smile.
"Yeah, I know," Adam sighed, pushing a strand of hair out of his face. "It's just that… well, you know how easily rumors and things get spread around here. It's a small group; things get around."
"That's true," Andrea paused for a second. "I remember for the longest time people thought I was dating Jason."
Melanie raised an eyebrow. "You mean you didn't?"
Andrea smirked in a what-do-you-think kind of way. She then became serious again. "Adam, really, I wouldn't worry about it. Billy's not going to tell anyone; I promise."
Adam smiled and pulled her in for a hug. "Thanks, Andy. That means a lot. You've always been there for me……. "
As her head rested on his shoulder, Andrea looked at Melanie to see her reaction.
Melanie had an amused grin on her face as she mouthed the words: "Doctor Billy."
"You know I hate you, right?" Andy bit her bottom lip to try to keep from grinning. It didn't work.
"Uh huh, I know." Melanie smirked.
"You better not breathe a word of that to any……."
"AHEM!"
Andrea and Adam released each other from their embrace, and all three Rangers looked up towards the door.
Standing in the doorway with one arm holding the doorframe, the expression on Billy's face was less than pleasant. "Andrea, can I please speak with you for a moment?"
"Uh… sure." Andrea stood up, a concerned look upon her face. "Guys, I'll see ya later," she said to Adam and Melanie. "Remember what I said……. And try to behave."
Billy raised his eyebrows at her last comment; images of Tarzan began to fill his mind again. Once again, he shook his head to clear it, and escorted Andrea out of the room. "Come on," he told her quietly, placing a hand on her back and ushering her down the corridor.
"Billy, what's wrong?" Andy asked in a low voice.
He said nothing and led her into another room, closing the door behind them. Standing in front of her, he looked deep into her eyes. "Andrea… is there anything you need to tell me?"
"Uh… I love you…"
Billy smiled. "Well, I love you too, but that's not what I was looking for."
"Um…" A devious idea crossed through her mind. "I'm pregnant?"
Billy's jaw dropped slightly and his eyes grew wide.
Andrea immediately wished she hadn't said that. "Relax, sweetie. I was just kidding."
Billy let out the breath that had been caught in his throat.
