2. Jayden's Little Sister
Jayden was now lonelier then ever. He was still a little boy, five years old. He needed attention. His father was barely around; it was either to beat the mean monsters, or to handle something else. It's been a week since the crying started. Its been getting on his nerves, and keeping him awake. He was four and he needed his sleep damn it. It was getting on his nerves. He frowned as he saw the pink ranger talk about a baby.
"Dad, who she talkin' bouw?" Jayden asked his father keeping his eye on the pink ranger. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't seen the yellow ranger, and he missed her.
"Come here, son," his father told him as he walked to room. When he opened he door, Jayden hurried inside. He noticed it was the infirmary and the yellow ranger was making funny faces to something. He frowned, and pouted.
Why didn't she do that for him? What was so special about that thing, anyways?
His father cleared his throat. The yellow ranger looked up and smiled at Jayden.
"Hello Jayden," he greeted.
"Goo' mownin' Miswes Piwtle," he said, bowing a little to show respect.
"Come here Jayden," she said, chuckling at the young boy. She knew he was a little jealous. She hung out with Jayden while she was pregnant, and grew to see Jayden as a son she never had. He probably saw her as a mother, seeing as his wasn't around.
He looked at his father, once he got a nod, he moved towards the occupied bed.
He slowly inched closer to her. "Come up here," she told him, patting the spot next to her. He climbed the bed and stayed on his knees. He tried to see what she was holding.
She tilt the blanket slight. Jayden's eyes widen as he saw the sleeping girl.
"She youws?" he asked. "She twiny. She in you?"
The yellow ranger chuckled and nodded.
"Sit back," she told him. He sat back, leaning against the headboard. She put Emily on his lap. He looked at her as she slept.
Jayden's father smiled at the sight. He knew his son never interacted with other children. When Emily gets older, she could help Jayden become more social. He left the room, knowing everything was in good hands. There wasn't anyone he trust more, with the exception of Mentor Ji, with his son.
Jayden smiled as Emily started to wake up. She was the tiniest thing he had ever seen. She blinked her big eyes at the boy.
"Wha's er name?" Jayden asked, not taking his attention off the girl.
"Emily," she answered.
"Hi, Emiwy," he said, putting his finger in front of her face.
She reached for it and giggled when she got it. Jayden smiled as she played with his finger.
"Jayden, can you promise me something?" the yellow ranger asked.
"Wha," Jayden answered, not taking his attention from the baby girl.
"Promise me you'll always protect her. When you get older, you'll know what I'm talking about."
He looked at her and nodded.
"I a big bwothew?" he asked.
She smiled and nodded. "You're her big brother."
"Emy, wittle sis," he muttered. "I pwotect you."
The baby's mother smiled. She knew if anything was to happen to her, her baby girl would be safe.
She looked to the two to see Jayden making funny faces and her daughter giggling.
"JAYDEN! DINNER!" his father shouted.
Jayden pouted and looked at the older woman. She took the newborn from the four year old. She smiled as Jayden waved as he left the room.
Emily looked around and started to cry when she didn't find what she was looking for.
"Are you hungry?" her mother asked. She didn't stop crying. "What do you want?"
Emily cried harder. She reached for something, like she did for Jayden.
"You want Jayden?" she asked. "Do you want your brother?"
Emily cried. She just cried.
Jayden entered the room to the baby.
"I ere Emy. Jay ere," Jayden soothed the crying baby, as he handed her his finger. She stopped crying and started giggling.
"She really likes you," her mother told him.
"She my wittle sis," Jayden said.
Emily's eyes were drooping. She grabbed Jayden's shirt and slowly fell asleep.
Jayden slowly fell asleep too.
Later, Jayden's father walking into the room and smiled at the sight.
"She's going to be good for him, isn't she?" Emily's mother said.
He nodded. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm good. I've been threw this before. I-I just can't believe she was a result."
He nodded. He walked up to the children and picked Emily up. He put her in her crib and went to get Jayden.
"Do you think they'll ever be more then just friends?" said the yellow ranger.
"We won't know until the time comes. They might end up real closed non-blood related siblings, or a couple. Maybe after this is over, you might go and train Serena. We don't know how this will go. For now, just work on making these kids happy," he said.
"D-do you think she'll ever turn like him?"
"One never be sure. Hopefully, Serena gets the morpher, but if that's not the case, we better hope not. She's going to be the youngest Samurai, given her birth. She's going to be tiny. If she's anything like you, she'll be pure. She'll have the best mother anyone would ask for, and Jayden will help keep her in line," he said.
"I know. Thank you, for everything," she told him.
"Your welcome. Goodnight, to the both of you," he said, as he walked out the room.
"Goodnight," She answered.
Jayden's father turned off the light, closed the door, and walked to Jayden's room.
"You'll be a great big brother," he told his sleeping son, while he tucked her in. "You'll be perfect. No one can do a better job then you. I love you, Jayden."
