Mia was surprised. In her imagination, when Emily started to feel bad, she joked with Kevin about the possibility of Emily's pregnancy but that was just a joke, nothing more. She never imagined her little sister pregnant or Mike being a father until six maybe eight years more.
Her reaction to the news was calmed. If Emily was anxious or nervous, Mia didn't want to cause her more worries. So stay there as calmed as possible. "Emily…. I… I didn't know what to say"
"You hate me right?" Emily covered herself with the sheets, dodging Mia's reaction. She knew she had done a mistake and there wasn't other person who would pay for that.
The pink ranger shook her head as she saw Emily despairing under the sheets "No, Emily, why do you think that?"
"Because it's not time… We have enough problems like for that me to get out with this"
Mia smiled "Emily… is it not time? We finished the battle. We defeat Master Xandred and the nighloks for good. We deserve a better life, you especially. I don't hate you or blame you for something. Now please get this blanket off" She started to pull the sheets off but Emily refused to let that happen.
"No, leave me here!"
"I …won't… let… you here" Although Emily was a small person, she was strong maybe like Mia. "Emily…please"
"I can't see your face"
"You can't ….or you don't want?"
"Both"
"Why? …Why did I do?"
"You didn't do anything"
The pink ranger stopped to pull the sheets and waited. Maybe Emily would take the sheets off by herself. She waited but Emily still was under them. In a neglect of Emily, Mia pulled the blankets and glared at Emily. The yellow ranger winced and turned around and buried her face on the pillow.
"Emily…" Mia growled "You're not a child. C'mon"
"No!"
"Don't make me to tickle you" Mia threaded.
"Ok fine, you win" Emily turned and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Em… why are you like this?"
"Like what?"
"Like this. You are depressed and what I can say Mike is lost in his mind"
Emily hugged her knees to her chest and looked at Mia "We don't know what to do. He's as afraid as I am. We…. It was unexpected Mia. With all this issue of the famous rangers, the last thing we think was a baby. A baby, Mia. And even we don't have our own home or money…. we don't know what to do!"
"Well, look Em, this is going to be a huge change, I guess. I won't lie you. You're not prepared to be a mom, either Mike to become father. You're going to need a lot of help but… that's why you have a Family, right? You're not alone"
"But this Mia, it's our problem. Not yours or Kevin's or Antonio's. It's Mike's and mine"
"Stop being silly Emily. You and Mike are my little siblings. You're my friend, Mike's my friend. I am going to help you in all I can. We all are going to figure out how to get out from the mess of the city. We'll do it and once we do it you'll be a very good mom ok?" Mia hugged Emily tightly "Besides, we have...How much? Nine months?"
"Seven" Emily corrected her "I kind of…. keep this in secret"
"Seven?!" Mia asked surprised "Well… It's enough time. We'll do it by then"
The pink ranger got up from the bed and walked out.
"Mia, where are you going?"
"Seriously, Em?" Mia raised her eyebrows "Mike will pay for what he did"
"But it wasn't just his fault. It was mine too."
"You'll pay later. Now it's Mike's turn"
