The following morning everyone was eating breakfast. They looked a little more cheer up than the day passed. They had had a bad morning, afternoon and night because in all they could think was on what had happened. In T.V wasn't anything else then they appeared on the city and pictures and pictures of them were scrolling on internet. There was bad and good comments but mostly bad. People weren't; happy when they ran away but they didn't realize that the rangers were in danger if they stay a bit more. They didn't understand the sacrifices all rangers did to beat the nighloks and they didn't look like they would understand. Obviously the citizens were angry and mad at them but there was no reason to treat them like they were the most dangerous persons. It wasn't fair.
However, that morning the samurai rangers woke up with new thoughts on their minds and more relax.
Emily walked into the kitchen with her usual smile of everyday "Morning everyone"
"Good morning" everyone answered in one voice. The yellow rangers sat on the stool and looked to Antonio who was preparing the breakfast. The gold ranger looked her and smiled "Hey Em, I prepared this for you" Antonio handed her a plate with some bacon.
"Thanks Antonio" Emily smiled brightly. She turned to Mike with a glared "You really put attention on my munchies. Not like others I know"
Mike shook his head gestured "No way, Emily… It's impossible to get chocolate cake at four in the morning"
"You could have tried" Emily said. "But it's still morning so I still want it"
Mike growled and rolled his eyes. Kevin shook his head in argument. "No, Emily. Chocolate cake is not healthy for you. You should try carrots, spinach or all in a salad. Not candies or bacon"
"I know" Emily shrugged her shoulders "It's just those strange munchies come from the nothing"
"I'll prepare you a salad" The blue ranger got up and joined Antonio in the kitchen. It was too small for two people be behind the counter so Kevin prepared Emily's salad in the table. He liked take care of his friends and in every time he could help he would do it. He really care for Emily and now that she would need more attention than anything, he would do all he can. So he started in the salad and continued "A pregnancy needs a lot of caution and a healthy way to eat. You'll need to be eating healthier than me to if you want to give birth a healthy baby"
"What do you know about pregnancy?" Lauren asked a little curiously.
"Uh…."
"Nothing" Mia chuckled. He remembered the day when they were in the park and Kevin seemed like he was afraid of children. If a five year old boy scared him, a newborn would terrify him.
"I do" Kevin said "I know the person who is pregnant needs good food"
"But outside of that, he doesn't know anything" The pink ranger shrugged.
"Ok, ok… talk me about water but not about babies"
Lauren chuckled and turned to Emily who was sit beside her. "What about you, Emily?"
"What about what?" The yellow ranger asked as she finished her scramble eggs with the bacon.
"You're the pregnant one, what do you know about babies?"
Emily looked down and shook her head. She, then, started to think about babies. It seemed like there was more important things right now than think in her baby. And that's when she noticed she hadn't been doing a good job as a new mother. She thought when she discovered she was pregnant. The fear and nervousness she felt, and not the happiness and anxious every woman experiencing. The fact of hide her child and not to let the others know about it.
A big guilt came when she thought she even hadn't seen a doctor. And neither Mike nor she had talked about how they would support a baby. What was she doing?
Emily shrugged her shoulders and answered "I don't know" Her voice was like a whisper and tears started to came down her cheeks. Lauren looked her comprehensively because she figured out how that question made her feel.
She pulled apart her hair from her face and added "I'm sorry Emily, I never didn't mean to…"
"It's ok" Emily nodded "It's not your fault I'm a bad mother"
"No way" Antonio added and shook his head "You're doing well"
"Yes, Emily. You're barely starting" Jayden patted Emily's back as support. He had understood how Emily was feeling and wanted to make her feel better.
"No" Emily shook his head "I…I don't know anything. I hadn't thought in my baby. What kind of mother I am?"
"You're not in this alone" Mike got up from the chair of table and went to Emily. He spun her around on the stool and hugged her warmly. "We'll talk about this later, ok?"
Emily nodded her head between sobs. The she felt when Mike pulled apart and other arms wrapped her.
Mia saw her with a little smile "You're good, Em. I can teach you some things and as Mike said, you're not alone in this"
While Jayden, Antonio, Kevin, Mike and Ji were doing the cleaning in the house, the girls enjoyed a TV show. Emily was calmer and mow Mia was saying her advises of a baby. Lauren meanwhile was watching TV and hearing what Mia was saying.
"So, for now you have the bases" Mia said.
The yellow ranger nodded her head and took some noted on her head " I hope not to forgive it "
"You'll have me" Mia assured her
"Thanks, Mia" Emily smiled and gave a quick hug to her best friend. "But please
Lauren who heard the conversation asked to Mia "You worked in a Day Care?"
"Yes" Mia nodded "Before…. all this ranger stuff"
"That must be fun" Lauren smiled
"It was" Mia sighed "I love kids so that was a great job for me. It was hard when I quit but I think a did a better thing"
"I'm sorry you had to quit" Lauren gave Mia a gently pat on the shoulder.
"It's fine… I guess now I'm going to have someone to love. Right, Emily?"
Emily nodded her head and rubbed her stomach. In that moment Jayden was sweeping the floor and entered into the common room. "Feet"
Lauren, Emily and Lauren lifted their feet. Jayden passed the broom "Thanks"
"I love collaborate in this house" Emily chuckled. She saw how Jayden directed the dirt to the dustpan.
Mia and Lauren laughed and turned their heads to the TV. It was a miracle none of the Samurai Articles were on TV so that's why the girls were getting advantage of that.
After some minutes Mike walked in and sat next Emily tired. "It's hot, isn't it?"
"No" Emily said
"So, why am I so hot?"
"Ask that to Emily" Mia chuckled and shook her head.
Mike frowned and shook his head "No Mia! ... I mean in the good way"
"You finished with the laundry?"Emily asked ignoring the rest.
"Yeah, maybe that's why is so hot. We should have a robot to do all this"
"Or you should stop to complain" The pink ranger intervened "What do you think is more possible?"
"When I feel better to help you, you know I will" Emily reminded Mike.
"No Em, you need to rest" Mike kissed her cheek and turned to TV. "What are you watching?"
"A Bride channel" Lauren sighed. The red ranger wasn't interesting on dating so, watching women crazies about wedding gowns was bored.
Mike opened his eyes and gulped. He had a bar chocolate on his hands but it dropped. Mike got up, cleaned the dropped chocolate- unless he wanted to be scolded for Jayden- and walked out.
Emily looked Lauren and Mia for an answer but they just shrugged their shoulders. Emily shrugged hers too and returned to the T.V. When the show started, suddenly an interruption of the TV got the girl's attention.
"Not again" Lauren muttered.
On TV, the same reporter they watched every time a "Samurai New" appeared was standing in the same stage the rangers were when they went to the city. She was in the middle and started to talk.
"Good afternoon to all our viewers. As you may know I'm standing in the same point the Power rangers samurais stood days ago, when they tried to explain us what had happened the day the evil monsters invaded our place. Well it looked like it didn't work because here we have a manifestation of angry people who want justice for their family and friends. Let's remember the war didn't affect the entire city but it took a considerable part of it. Dozens of people who couldn't be evacuate on time was killed and for the unfortunately who couldn't run on time was drained by the poison water. Here we go again the terrible battle…."
"Ugh, how can she?!" Mia shook her head "We don't need details! We know how they died!"
"Mia calm down" Emily gave Mia's hand a gentle squeeze and smiled "We all know how it feel but I'm sure the reporter can't hear you"
Mia rolled her eyes "You know what I meant"
"I know. Just keep calm. They are just talking for talk. We better turn it off" Emily grabbed the remote but when she was about to press the off bottom Lauren took the remote from Emily's hand.
"Wait a minute…"
"…So dear Power rangers, here, we just want answer. We don't know why this happened or who you exactly are. These people just want answers; we don't ask you for more…."
"Bla, bla, bla. They don't get it how dangerous it is" Lauren rolled her eyes and turned off the TV. "We should stop watching this"
"Yes, maybe that's better" Emily nodded her head and sighed. All thoughts about what had happened came to her mind. If she had gotten forget them in matter of seconds came. She felt sad again, and looked to her arm. It was all bad and instead of better, things were getting worse. The city they once loved now hated them in return.
Mia noticed Emily's tense and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. "It's okay Em. Everything is going to be okay"
"I wish I could believe you Mia, but… I don't see a way…"
"Uh… well, we'll do…."
"Oh here you are Emily" Ji interrupted Mia before she could finish her sentence. He stopped in front of the girls. "I already talked with Doctor Johansen. He'll be here in some minutes to check up on you."
"Really?... Thanks Mentor" Emily smiled.
"You're welcome, so while we wait him, I want to talk you, privately."
Emily frowned but accepted. She walked where Ji pointed to his office. Lauren and Mia looked each other and shrugged their shoulders.
