Power Rangers Triad
Chapter 20
Author's Notes: m/f sex scene
The next morning Jason and Bill let Danni sleep in and it was almost nine o' clock when she finally emerged from the Scott's guest bedroom. Linda had the kids feed and they were all playing in the den when she came staggering into the room. She had put on one of the guys sleep pants but still wore the oversized shirt with her hair somewhat pulled back in a clip.
"Here sweetheart, drink this?" said Linda as she handed Danni a coffee cup.
"What is it?" asked Danni sleepily.
"Ginger Ale, Trini said that it would help settle your stomach and still give you the caffeine you live on." smiled Linda, she knew caffeine wasn't really good for someone who was pregnant but you really didn't want to be around Danni if she didn't have her caffeine. Linda sometimes thought that she had caffeine in her veins instead of blood.
Danni took a tentative sip, sighing deeply and then swallowed deeply. "Oh thank you Linda, this is wonderful. Did the guys get away ok?" asked Danni as she sat down in a chair and curled her feet under her.
"They got away fine, Jas said to tell you that he would check in on you later this afternoon"
"Sounds about right. I'm surprised that Bill didn't say he would check in too." said Danni as she took another sip
"Oh he did, but since Jas beat him to it he said that both of them checking on you might be a little too much right now." smiled Linda after the guys left Linda check in on Danni several times herself.
"He's right, do they ever get better?" asked Danni as she got up and took her cup to the kitchen
"Afraid not my dear, and given your past health issues I can honestly see how they would worry about you." said Linda as she came up behind the young woman. She was standing at the kitchen sink. "You know you're welcome to stay her for as long as you like Danni"
"I know Linda, but I feel like I'm taking advantage of you and Jack. Other woman get pregnant every day and take care of their husband, house and children, why can't I?" asked Danni as she turned around to face Linda
Linda looked at the young woman standing before her and then pulled her into her arms. "Because you aren't like "other" woman Danielle Cranston-Scott. You're a Solorian Master Time-Lord, Member of the Time-Lords High Council and one third of the Universal Power Rangers Triad. You've been through a lot in your life, most of which I'm sure, didn't prepare you for what you're going through now. Even though you're already a mother, each pregnancy is different so you can't judge this one by what you went through with the triples."
"You're right, but I just don't like to "give in" when I feel sick." whisper Danni against Linda's shoulder.
Linda smiled and then pulled the young woman back to look at her, she looked so young and helpless that Linda sometimes forgot who she really was. "Sometimes you have to Danni, but you have two husbands who absolutely adore you. Three kids that will do anything for you, and three other adults that would give their lives for you. Don't feel too bad about not doing everything yourself. Just think what it would do to Jas and Bill if something happened to you."
"You're right again Linda, this is bigger than just me. I need to stop thinking about just me, and think of the kids and Bill and Jas." said Danni as she sat down at the kitchen table.
"That's our girl. I know you've been alone and doing everything by yourself for a long time, but remember that now you don't have too and it's not a sign of weakness to except help. Especially from the people who love you." replied Linda as she put her hands on Danni's shoulders
"I'll trying really, just be patience with me, please?" asked Danni as she reached up and put her hand over Linda's on her shoulder.
"Of course, dear. Now what do you feel like eating for breakfast?"
"Would you believe eggs and toast." said Danni as she took the cup that Linda offered her
"Then that's what you'll get, then we will work out a plan of action for today. OK?" asked Linda as she started cooking Danni's eggs
"Sounds great"
It ended up that Danni talked Linda into letting her go back to the Compound and clean their apartment before the kids returned. So after breakfast Danni transported back to the Compound and took a quick shower and changed clothes into her "grungy clothes" and then started cleaning their quarters. Once again she started in their kitchen area and had her music collection playing on their quarter's sound system. By noon Danni had the kitchen, all the bedrooms clean and was finished up the living room when Jason snuck into their quarters and found Danni cleaning the living room while she was singing "Home to you" by John Michael Montgomery.
I get up and battle the day
Things don't always go my way
It might rain but that's okay
I get to come home to you
Sometimes life may get me down
And I get tired of getting' kicked around
I feel lost in this maddening crowd
But I get to come home to you
Cause you are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you
Hangin' out in our old sweatshirts
You let me complain about a hard day's work
I don't know what I did to deserve
To get to come home to you
Cause you are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you
Cause you are my best friend
And you are where my heart is
And I know at the day's end
I get to come home to you
Yes, I get to come home to you
Oh, I love comin' home to you
As the song ended Jason came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist his hands quickly making there was under her tee shirt. Danni instant melted against him and was flooded with the love that he felt for her. Jason moved her quickly towards their bedroom while continuing to show her his love for her both physically and mentally. When they reached the bedroom Jason shed his clothes and then gently and with great care disrobed Danni and only when she lay naked and wanting before him did he once again began the gentle assault of lovemaking on her body. Just as she reached her peak Danni reached for Jason and guided him into the sweet recesses of her womanhood and finished their climb and then together they soared over the precipice that was sweet release then ever so gently slipping into the void that was sleep. Just before she succumbs to the depths of sleep Danni murmured one last coherent thought.
"I meant every word of that song Jas"
"We know Danni, and we feel the same way" answered Jason as he pulled her closer to him and together they slipped into that void.
It was a week later exactly when Danni got the call from Doctor Gaston that she wanted to see her to go over the test results. She debated going by herself but then remembered her promise to Linda that she would think about the guys when she made decision so it was with a little reluctance that she commed both men.
"Danielle Cranston-Scott to Jason and Bill Cranston-Scott"
"Jason here Danni, what's up?" replied Jason
"I'm here Dan, are you alright?" answered Bill
"I'm fine guys, Dr. Gaston just called and she wants to see us and go over the test results. She has an opening at three o' clock this afternoon, is that alright with you guys?" asked Danni.
"I'll make the time Danni" said Jason quickly
"I can come home now if you need me to Dan" said Bill. He was just in the Computer Lab and could be home within a few minutes if she needed him.
"Finish what you're working on Bill. I'm alright really, just a little anxious but I think we all are. I'll feed the kids and then com Linda and see if she can keep them for us. Why don't you both meet me at her office at three?"
"Are you sure Danni, I...?" started Jason then heard her slight growl over the com system
"Jason Scott-Cranston..." answered Danni.
"All right, all right...I'll meet you at Dr. Gaston's office three o' clock sharp" said Jason as he closed the com.
He hadn't realized that he had stayed in the middle of the Dojo so everyone had heard his conversation with Danni and Bill. He turned around to face the smiling faces of Tommy and his morning class.
"First time, Mr. Scott-Cranston?" asked one of the men.
"Oh no, Jason, Bill and Danni already have a set to triplets, but this is the first time for them to try and get pregnant."
"The first set were "oops" asked another man with a smile on his face."
"The first time was when we were still with the Universal Power Rangers and we all were concentrating on other things" said Tommy.
"Well you want this don't you sir?" asked another.
"Oh yes... with all my heart!" answered Jason emphatic.
"Then we wish you all the best" said the first man
"Thank you all, now let's get back to work so I can make that appointment"
"Yes sansei" said the class bowing as one.
At two thirty Jason ended the class, shower and changed and then left to meet Danni and Bill at Dr. Gaston's office. As Jason pulled into the parking lot he had to smile when he saw Danni and Bill's cars waiting for him. He knew of the three of them that he would be the last one to arrive because Danni had always added extra time to her plans ever since the kids were born and he was sure that Bill had spent the rest of the time since Danni had called watching the clock.
As he shut off the engine both Danni and Bill got out of Danni's car. She was wearing one of her capri sets this one being blue & green which really brought out her blue-grey eyes. Once again her marveled at the fact that she had chosen him to be a part of this Triad.
"Hiya Beautiful, how do you feel?" asked Jason as he came over and kissed her on the cheek.
"I told you, you owe me a dinner Cranston." said Danni as she gently hit Bill on the shoulder.
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Jason as he put his arm around his wife's shoulder.
"I told Bill that the first thing you would ask was "how was I feeling?" and he said that you wouldn't so I bet him a dinner" said Danni as they entered the building.
"You should've known better Bill. You should've heard the commotion that she caused at the Dojo when she called. I forgot to move out of earshot and got drilled after she closed the comm."
"Well you started it Scott" smiled Danni as she ducked out from under Jason's arm and left the elevator.
She entered Dr. Gaston's office first with Jason and Bill following close behind. "Three o' clock for Cranston-Scott, Danielle" said Danni as she stood at the office window.
"Of course Mrs. Cranston-Scott. Dr. Gaston will be with you in a moment. Would you all like to follow me back to her office please" said the receptionist as she got up and opened the door for Danni, Jason and Bill.
They followed her down the hall to the last door at the end of the hallway. She opened the door then stepped back so the Triad could enter. Dr. Gaston's office was the normal Doctor's office with bookshelves along one wall and a huge mahogany desk. On the wall just behind her desk was a gallery of pictures all of the Triad. Some just of the three adults but mostly of the adults with all or one of the triplets. She had a picture of each of the triplets just after they were born in the hospital nursery and then several more of them during each of their milestones, walking, first birthday and just recently of them celebrating their second birthday.
Danni had to smile as she remember how tentative Dr. Gaston had been when she asked for pictures of the triplets as they reached their milestones. Since then they all had tried to keep her up to date on the triplet's progress and even included her at their second birthday party in the Compounds Park.
It hadn't been as bad as Danni thought it was going to be once everyone knew about the Compound and who they were. She had been afraid that people would shun them or treat them differently but for the most part everyone and just treated them like normal people who, oh by the way, just happened to save the Earth.
Well she for one was glad that that part of her life was over so now she could live the rest of her life peacefully on earth with her husbands and children. When Dr. Gaston entered Danni immediately got up and hugged the older woman. She shook Jason and Bill's hands and then motioned for them to all have a seat.
"Well I was going to ask how you were feeling but you look wonderful so I won't even ask. Any more problems with nausea?" asked Dr. Gaston as she opened Danni's file folder.
"Once or twice, no three times I ended up taking the medicine but for the most part the Ginger Ale has worked" answered Danni.
"Well then just stay with the Ginger Ale, for most people I would say stay away from carbonated or caffeinated drinks but as we know you three aren't "most people" said Dr. Gaston with a smile.
"Besides you really don't want to see Danni without caffeine, it's not a pretty sight" said Bill.
"Watch it Cranston," replied Danni.
"Sorry love," said Bill.
"No you're, not but we'll deal with that later. Now about the test results Dr. Gaston" said Danni as she forestalled any more objections Bill could make, she would deal with William Kevin Cranston-Scott later.
Dr. Gaston knew that look on Danni's face and smiled, Bill was in trouble and would pay later on but that was between the three of them. So with one more look at the doomed young man she turned her attention to the task at hand. "Well the test results are in and I'm proud to announce that you three are expecting" announced Dr. Gaston with a smile.
Jason and Bill just sat there with stunned looks on their faces, but Danni had a look of relief and then joy as the news finally sunk into her husbands and she was soon engulfed in the strong arms of both of her husbands. They swung her around and then suddenly stopped and put her down facing the older woman.
"Are you sure? Danni said you thought it might be just the flu she caught from Ian?" asked Jason
"Unless this is a new kind of nine month flu, I am positive. I told her that at the time because then there was the possibility that it could have been just the flu but the blood work doesn't lie. She is about seven weeks pregnant."
"Can you tell if there is more than one?" asked Bill
"Not right now I'm afraid, but in a few weeks we should be able to do a sonogram and get a better picture of how many babies were looking at here. Unless you can tell Danni?" asked Dr. Gaston
"Not a clue, right now I'm not feeling or sensing anything." replied Danni.
"Well then I guess we will have to just wait and see. Now as for rest of your blood work. It shows that you have a lower than average Potassium level and that you will need to start taking pre-natal vitamins, plus I think a light exercise program would help release any stress you might have."
"Well I've been doing Tia Chi with Trini Taylor and we have a walking trail and an Olympic size pool in the Compounds Park."
"All of which are very good, low impact exercises so keep them up. Now if you don't have any more questions I guess you're free to go. Congratulations!" said Dr. Gaston as she stood up and shook Bill and Jason's hands and hugged Danni again.
They all walked out of the office with big grins on their faces with brought out a chorus of "Congratulations!" From each member of the staff.
As they exited the building both men came up behind Danni just as she reached for her car door.
"Uhhhhhh...Dan" started Bill but she rounded on him so fast that all he could do was fall back into Jason who was right behind him.
"Now let's get this perfectly clear right now! I will not be pampered, unless I ask to be. I am just pregnant, not an invalid so I will not tolerate, nor do I expect to be treated like one. Do I make myself perfectly clear!"
"Yes, Master" said Bill softly.
"Yes, Master" answered Jason quietly.
"Good boys, now here's what's going to happen. I will drive, alone. To Linda and Jack's and tell them the good news. You can tell Kevin if you like Bill"
"Oh, thank you" replied Bill sarcastic.
"Don't get smart Cranston, that's two you now have to make up for. At about six o' clock or so you can meet over at Jack and Linda's because I'm sure they are going to want to celebrate the news. Any questions? Good, now I will see you both later." said Danni as she got into her car and then drove off.
Bill and Jason both stood them for a few minutes and them both made their way to their separate cars
"Talk about raging hormones" said Jason.
"Oh you two haven't seen anything yet" whispered Danni over their link.
Danni arrived at the Scott's house about forty-five minutes later, she had stopped by a store that sold balloons and pick out a "Congratulations! We're expecting" balloon along with a baby gift basket. When she arrived at the Scott's house she snuck into the house through the backyard.
"Mommy!" yelled Mackenzie and Ian as they can running to her.
"Hiya babies, how have you been?" asked Danni as she gave them each a hug. "Where are Grandma and Grandpa Jack?
"They are in the house why? I think Grandma's in the kitchen and Grandpa Jack and Bryan are in the den?" said Ian
"Can you do me a big favor sweethearts, can you go and get Grandpa Jack and Grandma out of the house for a few minutes. Take them to the front yard or something; mommy has a big surprise for them"
"What is it?" asked Mackenzie.
"If I told you then it wouldn't be a surprise now would it rugrats, now can you do it for me? I think your Daddies are coming over later with Grandpa Kevin to help celebrate." asked Danni.
"Sure thing mommy! Come on Ian, let's go!" called Mackenzie as she pulled her brother into the house.
Danni smiled as she heard both Ian and Mackenzie go after both adults almost pleading and begging them to come see something in the front yard. Danni knew that Jack and Linda couldn't resist their grandkids, and sure enough soon both adults were heading towards the front yard. Danni moved quickly and placed the gift basket along with the balloon on the kitchen table. She got a Ginger Ale out of the refrigerator and was just sitting down at the table when Jack, Linda and all three kids came into the kitchen.
"Danni! When did you get here?" asked Jack as he came over and hugged her.
"Oh just a little while ago" replied Danni as Linda enfolded her in a hug.
"Mommy? Who are the balloons for?" asked Bryan as he saw the gift basket and balloons on the table.
"Well, what do they say, sweetheart?" asked Danni as she turned around.
"We're expecting? Expecting what… Mommy?" asked Bryan as he looked at his smiling mother.
"A new baby sweetheart" answered Danni and she was instantly engulfed in two set of arms trying to hug her.
"Oh Danni! Are you sure?" asked Linda
"That's wonderful sweetheart,how do you feel?" asked Jack
"Like father, like son." said Danni with a weary smile "That was the first thing Jason asked me too Jack. I'm feeling fine, a little bit tired but not too bad."
"Well then sit down sweetheart, and tell us everything Doctor Gaston said." answered Linda as she led Danni to backyard and sat her down in one of the lawn chairs. Everyone sat down beside her either on the grass or in a chair
"How far along are you Danni?" asked Linda
"She said I was about seven weeks pregnant, and no. We don't know if there is more than one, but given my past history I wouldn't doubt if there is."
"Can't you tell, Mommy?" asked Ian
"Not yet honey, I wasn't able to sense you guys until you were almost born. But Dr. Gaston is going to do a sonogram in a few weeks and that should tell us if there is more than one baby or not"
"What's a sonogram? Mommy" asked Mackenzie
"It's when they use this machine to take a picture of the inside of mommy's stomach"
"Can we go with you when you have this sonothingy mommy?" asked Bryan
"I don't know, I'll have to ask Dr. Gaston but I will defiantly bring back a picture to show you guys,"
"Is that ok?
"I guess so" mumbled Bryan
"What's wrong? Sweetheart. Don't you want another brother or sister?" asked Danni as she slid out of the lawn chair and pulled Bryan into her arms
"Yeah," answered the little boy wistfully "But I kind of hope it's not another boy. Our room is getting crowded with all of Ian's stuff."
"Is not!" yelled Ian.
"Is so!" replied Bryan.
"Boys, boys. That's enough. Neither of you have to worry right now anyway. The baby or babies won't be here for another seven to eight months anyway and then they will be sleeping in a nursery." said Danni as she pulled Ian into her arms too
"Sorry, Mommy" said Ian softly.
"Yeah, sorry Mommy" replied Bryan.
"It's ok guys. You are just going to have to get used to sharing. Right now Grandpa Jack, Grandma Linda, Grandpa Kevin and your daddies are going to take care of mommy and then when the new baby or babies come then you can help me take care of them if you like. Ok?"
"Ok Mommy" said Ian.
"Sure thing Mommy! Can we go play now?" asked Bryan.
"Well I guess the big news is over, yes you may but don't eat 'll be having dinner soon" said Danni as both boys jumped up from her lap and ran back into the house.
Danni sat on the ground for a few minutes longer and then started to get up when Jack came over to help her.
"Oh thank you, Jack. Pregnant or not I think I'm getting too old to sit on the ground." said Danni as he helped her back onto the lawn chair.
"Well old or not, you're still beautiful to us sweetheart. Now you rest and I'll get the grill ready for a celebration barbeque. How's that sound?" asked Jack
"Sounds wonderful, I told the guys to be here around six, oh and I expect that Bill will be bring Kevin too" said Danni as she leaned back with a sigh.
"That boy had better! It's not every day we get news we're going to be grandparents again!" said Jack as he set off to set up the grill
Linda stood looking down at Danni until she finally slipped a gently hand on her forehead. "I'm fine Linda, really just tired. I can let you feel if you like?" said Danni softly
"No! Thank you, sweetheart. I'm just concerned about you getting tired so early in the pregnancy" replied Linda as she sat down on the edge of the chair.
"Dr. Gaston said that my potassium levels were down a little and that I needed to start taking pre-natal vitamins."
"Well I'm sure that's all it is. You just rest and we'll watch the kids and fix dinner." said Linda as she gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Danni only nodded and then dropped into a light sleep before Linda could get up from the chair.
