Love
Connor let go of Kira as soon as the words came out of her Kira's mouth. He moved back so he was standing right next to the door. Kira looked between her son and Connor. Looking at the resemblance between them. The same beautiful nose, the eyes filled with sadness and a hint of happiness, the dark hair and the cute mouth that curved at the top. She could see the shocked look on both their faces and how both their eyebrows rose.
'What did you say?' Aden asked.
'Aden, Connor is your…' Kim began but Aden interrupted her.
'No. Aunt Kim I want to hear it from mum,' Aden said and his mother sighed.
'Aden…' Ethan tried but Aden just held his hand up.
'Ethan let her answer,' Trent said and received a scary look from Kim.
'Its OK Kim,' Kira said and turned to her son. 'The night me and Connor got together I got pregnant. I didn't know until two weeks after Connor had left. I hadn't left my room because I was heart-broken and sick. When I decided to get out of room my mother forced me to go get checked out. I went since I had no choice and I was told I was pregnant,' Kira said and could see her son's eyes drop tears. Ethan watched his best friend standing in complete shock and could see the fear in his eyes.
'Connor dude are you alright?' he asked and everyone turned to look at the former red ranger.
'I'm sorry I can't,' he said and turned to open the door.
'Connor please,' Kira begged and the man in red stopped for a second then walked out of the door. He shut the door and heard the sobs from the other side of the room. He ran as fast as he could and let the tears slip from his eyes. He had just started to get his life on track and now he has the biggest responsibility in the world. How was he supposed to cope. Take care of Kira. Take care of his son.
'Aden's father,' he whispered.

It had been an hour since Connor had left and Kira was sitting on the couch. Kim and Ryan were getting a ride from Trent to go home while Tommy was out looking for Connor. Ethan was in the kitchen making tea and Aden was in his room. Kira had tried to talk to him but all he did was push her away and look down. Ethan came in the room and saw his best friend crying on the couch.
'Kira…' Ethan started.
'I should go after him,' Kira said with tears.
'Kira, are you sure?' Ethan asked and the former Dino Ranger nodded her head. 'What if he doesn't listen and leaves you again?' he asked and Kira looked at her best friend.
'Ethan, every since I broke things off with Connor I couldn't be happy because I was heart broken. I found out I was pregnant and I honestly hated my baby because I knew I had to see him grow up and look like Connor McKnight. The first time I started to feel anything was when Aden first called me mom. I watched him grow with Connor's features. His eyes full of sorrow watched me everyday. I never understood the sadness in them until a couple of days ago. There is nothing Connor can say to make me give up on him. I love him and I wont let him go again,' Kira said and waited for the reply. Ethan smiled and opened the small door next to the stairs. He got a red coat and left the small closet.
'Here,' Ethan said and handed her the coat. Kira smiled at him then took the coat from his hands.
'Thanks Ethan,' she said the hugged him.
'Yeah yeah! Now go get your man,' he said and Kira left the house. She closed the door and immediately knew where she had to go. She had to go to the place it all started. She had to go to the park.
****
Connor was sitting at the park bench feeling almost every emotion at one time. Anger. Fear. Happy. Hate. Love. He didn't get what he was feeling. How can he be a father? Why didn't Kira tell him about the baby? How could this have happened? Connor sat confused as a million questions entered his head. The one he was most concerned about was – what was he going to do?
Kira walked slowly and could see Connor from where she stood. She opened the park gate and let herself in. She began to quicken her pace as she got closer and closer to Connor. She reached the young man and stood a couple of feet away from him.
'Connor,' she said and the young man looked up slowly. He looked at her for a bit then started to get up and leave. 'Connor please,' she began. 'Just hear me out and if you still want to leave I wont stop you,' she said and the former red ranger stopped in his tracks and turned to face Kira.
'Fine,' he said and Kira sighed.
'After the job interview I went to the café. Hailey and Ethan weren't there so I decided to wait for them and tell them the good news. I was sitting there for about half an hour when Jolie walked in. She looked horrible so I asked her what was wrong,' Kira said and began to remember the day that ruined her life.
FLASHBACK
'Jolie what's wrong?' Kira had asked the girl sitting in front of her. 'You're pale! Are you OK?' she asked and Jolie turned to look at her.
'I'm pregnant Kira,' she said and the yellow ranger had gasped in shock.
'What how?' Kira asked.
'I got together with this guy two days ago and I thought we had protection but I found out I was pregnant yesterday. I kept being sick and I got checked out. What am I going to do Kira?' she said and Kira looked at her feeling useless.
'First of all have you told you're parents?' she then asked and Jolie nodded no. 'So we're going to have to tell them,' she said simply. 'Have you eaten since you found out,' she asked and Jolie nodded no again. Kira sighed then asked the most serious question. 'Who's the father Jolie?' she asked and the girl in front of her put her head down.
'Connor McKnight,' she said and Kira felt tears in her eyes. The guy that said he had loved her the day before.
'Connor?' she asked in tears. Jolie nodded and Kira grabbed her bag and coat and left the café before saying, 'Sorry.' Kira had run home and didn't look back. She cried and cried and would never forget what her best friend had said.
END FLASHBACK
As Kira said this she cried and Connor could see her struggle. Kira looked down and couldn't believe this was happening. She remembered that day like she remembered her name. She didn't remember it because of Jolie being pregnant. Or for her getting her job. She remembered that day because it's the day she ruined her life. Connor watched the girl before him and couldn't help the tear that fell from his eye. He got up from the bench and moved to hug Kira. Kira did not expect it and stood still for a while he hugged her. After a short moment she realised he was hugging her and she put her arms around him.
'I'm sorry. I should've asked you first. I should've checked but I wasn't thinking. After Jolie told me it was yours my whole mind went blank and I'm sorry,' Kira said in tears. Connor hugged her more tightly and rubbed her back. He let go of her after a while and made her sit down on the bench.
'Why didn't you call me when you found out about the baby?' Connor asked.
'Trent said some things to me' Kira said and looked at to Connor sadly.
'What did he say?' Connor asked her.
'He said that you got Jolie pregnant and when I ended it with you she told you she was pregnant and you left her,' Kira said. 'Then he said that if I told you, you could leave me and I would have no one,' Kira finished.
'Why would you think that?' Connor asked.
'Connor at the time I believed anything. I was alone and pregnant. The only person that even showed any love for me was Trent. I was willing to believe anything he said so that my baby will have a home,' Kira said.
'Kira, you knew me better than anyone in the world. I would've never left you even if that baby wasn't mine. I told you I loved you and you broke my heart. My family wanted to move to New York and I agreed because there was nothing left for me in Reef side,' Connor said.
'You would've stayed?' Kira asked and looked at Connor as he nodded.
'For as long as you wanted me,' he said.
'I'm such an idiot. For believing Trent and leaving you and believing Jolie,' Kira said.
'I know you're an idiot,' Connor said and Kira smiled.
'Do you know what I want to know,' Kira asked.
'What?' Connor asked.
'Where Jolie is,' she said simply and Connor looked at her a bit confused. 'After that day I never saw her again and she never picked up my phone calls. I never knew why and I always figured that she might be with you,' she said.
'I never really met or talked to her. I mean I saw her at your house but that was about it,' Connor said and Kira nodded. They sat in silence for a while when Connor asked the question they both knew was coming.
'So Aden's my son?' he asked and Kira turned to face him.
'Yeah he is,' she said honestly and looked deeply into Connor's eyes. She saw no fear, no anger and no hate. She looked into his brown eyes and saw love, passion and care. 'Connor…' she tried was lost in his eyes. Connor looked at the woman he loved and moved towards her. Kira watched as he slowly moved towards her. The two reached each other and their lips touched. The two had a long and passionate kiss that had so much love. The two felt the love between them and had never been so happy before. The two came apart with smiles on both their faces.
'I love you Kira Ford,' he said and Kira looked at him with loving eyes.
'I love you too Connor McKnight,' she said and smiled even brighter.
'Lets go to talk to Aden,' Connor said and Kira nodded. 'Lets go talk to our son,' he said and Kira began to cry. Connor saw this and wiped her tears with his thumb. 'Hey what's wrong?' he asked.
'I'm so happy. I feel like I'm the luckiest woman on earth. I have the love of my life back and a beautiful son,' she said and hugged Connor.
'Let's go,' he said and the two got of the bench. They walked hand in hand towards the house and the two felt as if they were teenagers again. Nothing could now go wrong.
****
Ethan sat on the couch thinking about what was happening. Connor coming back, Trent abusing Aden, Kira telling Connor and Aden their father and son. Even though his life was absolutely crazy he wouldn't change it for anything because he had the people who loved him around him. Ethan was about to go talk to Aden when Connor and Kira came in hand in hand.
'Well, well. My best friends hooked up!' he said and Connor smiled. 'DUDE'S IT'S ABOUT TIME!' Ethan said and both Kira and Connor laughed. Ethan moved to hug Kira and Connor and all three of them felt re-united.
'Well, we have to talk to our son,' Kira said and felt good to say it.
'Yeah, cool. I'll just be outside call me when you're done,' Ethan said and walked out of the house.
'Alright, let's do this.' Connor said.
'Aden!' Kira yelled. 'Aden Ford get you're but down here!' she said and Connor smiled. The two stood still and waited but heard no movement from upstairs. Kira sighed then walked upstairs still holding her stomach.
'You should really get that checked,' Connor said.
'I will after we talk OK?' Kira said and Connor nodded. Kira walked upstairs and opened her son's room. She was shocked when she saw no one in there and the window open. His room was messy and it looked like he had taken some on his clothes.
'Kira, what's up?' Connor asked coming from downstairs.
'He's gone,' she said. 'Aden's gone!'
