Chapter 43
"Kim, you know how much watching you in battle distresses me." Trini shouted for the third time.
She and Kim had walked outside to be alone. Kim knew that Trini needed to yelled and scream for bit. She could handle Trini's screams better than anyone. She just wished that Trini hadn't watched that battle.
"I know and I'm sorry if I scared you. I will try not to do that next time." She said with a smile.
They had been at it for an hour with no hope of Trini letting up. Kim knew that Trini was a minefield of emotion right now.
"Why are you smiling? I don't think you need to be smiling at a time like this. I just got you back from Zedd and Rita!" She screamed as she doubled over in pain. She had a sharp pain rip through her stomach.
"Trini, what's wrong?" Kim said as she knelt down next to her best friend.
Trini looked up and Kim saw the pain and hurt in her eyes and got scared.
"It hurts!" Trini said as tears rolled down her cheeks. She gripped her stomach even tighter.
"JASON! TOMMY!" Kim yelled as she held Trini close. She just knew that this was something to do with the baby. She couldn't take it if Trini lost the baby that everyone had come to love. She saw the two best men in her life run out the front door. She saw the concern and fear in both of their eyes as they drew closer to her and Trini. She heard Trini as she continued to cry out in pain.
"What happened?" Jason said as he knelt down beside his wife. He touched her back as Kim looked up to him.
"One minute she was yelling at me and the next she doubled over in pain. I think that we need to get her to the hospital." She said as she watched Tommy run back in the house.
He came out seconds later with keys and Trini's purse. She knew that either Aisha or Tanya had given that to him. He would've never thought to get her purse. Kim leaned back as Jason scooped up his wife and headed to Tommy's Jeep.
She jumped in the back as Tommy peeled out of the drive. She watched as everyone else was coming out of the house as well. She smiled because she knew that Reefside Hospital was in for a shock. They were all Trini's family and would want to go back and see her if anything turned out to be wrong.

"How long does it take to run tests? They won't even let me be with her." Jason said as Kim got up and walked over to him.
The others were sitting around the waiting room waiting on news of Trini. They had been here for over an hour.
"They will let us know as soon as they can. You want them to run every test they can." She said as she grabbed his hand. She squeezed it and looked him in the eye. She saw emotions that she had only ever seen once before.
It was when they were captured by Divatox. He didn't know if they would make it out. She knew that this was ten times worse than Divatox could've ever been. She prayed that everything would be fine for all their sakes.
"Kim, I can't lose her. She is my life." He saw as tears poured down his cheeks. She pulled him close into the tightest hug. She cried with him.
The others just watched as brother and sister cried in each other's arms. They were praying that Trini would be fine and that this was just a wake-up call to take things slow but with no news for over an hour they were all at the breaking point.
Tommy watched Jason and Kim and felt his soul reaching out for them. He hoped that Trini was alright because he wanted her here to watch him and Kim get married. He needed her blessings more than anything. He got up and walked outside because he was going crazy just sitting there.
The Space team and Dinos were still at his house waiting on news. They had called several times wanting to know what was going on. He had told them to come on to the hospital but they said that there would be too many people there and they also knew that someone needed to stay behind in case there was an attack.
He finally made it outside and sat on a nearby bench. He sat there as he looked out over the parking lot. He heard someone come up behind him. He turned and smiled as Kat came and sat beside him.
"Hey." He said as she smiled at him. He was glad that she was back where she belonged with her friends. They all had a rocky start but then so did all friendships that are meant to be.
"Hi, I knew that it was getting too much for you. I was wondering if you won't mind if I sat out here with you." She said as they both smiled.
This was the first time that he and Kat had been alone since giving up their Turbo powers. He also thought back to them dating and knew that they were not meant to be. It was sad but it was a fact.
"No, I could use the company. Kat, if Hayley hadn't called you and told you that Kim was back; would you have come if someone else had called you?" He asked as he looked at her. He saw a beautiful woman sitting beside him and wondered about the men in her life. He hoped that they treasured her like she should be.
"I have thought about it and yes I would've come if someone else had called. I always felt like I was on the outside looking in and I know that it was no one's fault. It was my own insecurity. I talked with Kim and found out that she never meant for me to feel like that. I'm only glad that now I am a part of this." She said as he reached for her hand. She knew that he had never meant her any harm.
"Kat, I'm sorry that I didn't see it at the time. Kim told me that you talked and that everything was fine. I just wished that you would've told me at the time." He said as she took his hand.
She felt his calm reassurance and knew that it was alright. The Original Rangers were closer than they had ever been. He only wished that Justin could be here so that it would be a reunion in the true sense but Justin couldn't get away from school at the moment.
"Tommy, at the time it was too much and we had to save the world. Everything is worked out now." She said as she smiled.
They were closer now than they had ever been while they were dating. She turned when she heard footsteps behind her. She saw Kim smiling as she stepped out the doors. She and Tommy both jumped up and walked over to her.
"How is she?" Tommy asked as soon as he got close to her. He assumed that it was good news since she was smiling.
"She and baby are fine. They just need to take it easy for a while. Jason is with her now. They told us to give her an hour and we can all go see her. They are keeping her overnight just to watch her and the baby a little longer." She said as Kat covered her mouth with her hands and Tommy pulled Kim into a tight hug.
"Thank God." Kat said as she walked back into the hospital leaving Kim and Tommy by themselves.
"Tommy, I was so scared." Kim said against his chest.
He felt her tears then as he held while she silently cried. He knew that she had been brave for Jason and the others and that it had taken a lot out of her.
"I know Kim. I know." He said as he started rubbing her back with one of his hands. The other held her head close to his heart. He realized that he was her strength just like she was his. It made him smile a little knowing that this strong, confident woman needed him and only him. She leaned back and he saw the remains of her tears.
"Thanks Tommy. I also wanted you to know that I love you for all the little things." She said as he grabbed her hand and they walked back into the hospital.
He knew that she would want to be the first back with Trini but she had let Jason go to his wife first.
"I love you for all the little things too." He said as they walked into the waiting room. He noticed that everyone was standing.
"What's going on?" Kim asked as they stopped in front of the others.
"They are moving Trini into a private room. We can go see her in about 15 minutes." Aisha said as Tommy pulled out his cell to call the others.
They would want to know how Trini was doing.

"I got it!" Kira screamed as she grabbed the phone. She had been pacing the house ever since they had left with Trini. Everyone else jumped up as she answered the phone.
"Who is it? What's going on?" Connor asked as he jumped up beside her. She punched him in the stomach so that she could hear.
"That's great news, Dr. O. Tell her that we love her and to get well soon." She said as she hung up the phone.
"Kira?" Ethan asked as soon as she put down the phone. Connor was rubbing off him because he was an impatient as Connor.
"She and baby are fine and she is staying overnight. They get to see her in about 15 minutes." She said as everyone smiled.
They were glad that the Trini and the baby were fine especially for Jason and Kim's sake. Zordon and Alpha were happy to hear that Trini was going to be alright.
Hayley smiled as she walked downstairs. She called the flower shop to have some Yellow and Red flowers sent to Trini. She thought about just yellow but since Jason was the Original Red she told them to throw in some red flowers too. She knew their rangers colors were a part of them. She also had some flowers delivered to Tommy's house as well for when they all got back only this arrangement had Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Pink, and White in it.
The florist thought that it was odd that she wanted that many colors especially having Black in there but she said that she wanted those colors. She walked over to the scanners and run scans of the surrounding areas. She hoped that Zedd and Rita took a break today so that Trini wouldn't be sent back to the hospital with worrying over Kim again.

"Trini, don't you ever scare me like that again." Jason said as soon as he walked into her room. He felt relief that he had never known when he saw her smile.
"I'm sorry for that but the baby just wanted to remind us that she's there." She said with a slight smile. She knew that he had been worried but she couldn't help.
"She? Did they tell you it was a girl?" He asked as he walked over to the bed. He sat on the edge and took her hands in his. He looked up and saw how beautiful she was.
"No, I just have this feeling that it's a girl." She said as she saw his face. She knew what he was thinking.
"Well I guess I better start practicing at keeping the boys at bay if we have a girl because she will be as beautiful as her mom." He said with a smile. He turned as a nurse knocked on the door. He saw her open the door and smile at them.
"Mrs. Scott, you room is ready now." She said as she wheeled in a wheel chair for Trini to use.
"Thank you, I'm ready to see everyone else and to reassure Kim that this wasn't her fault." She said as Jason stood up to help her out of bed. She sat in the wheelchair as the nurse wheeled her down the hall to her room. She looked as the room number and smiled. Her room number was 12 and to her that was a sign that Zordon had been watching over them even here.

"Family of Mrs. Scott?" A nurse said as she came into the waiting room. She was shock at how many people stood up when she asked. She had never seen that many people here for one person that had only been here for an hour.
"Yes that's us." Kim said as walked over to the nurse with Tommy following close behind.
"Okay I can only let close family back right now." The nurse said as she looked over the group.
"We are her closest family." Tommy said as he looked at the nurse. He knew that this might be a fight but they would win this one.
"Okay if you say so. Her room number is 12. Go down the hall and turn right." The nurse said as she pointed to the hall. She watched as everyone filed down the hall in search for their "family's" room. She knew that they all couldn't be family but she wasn't fighting with them on it.
"You know that their not all her family, why did you let them all go back?" Another nurse asked her.
"Sometimes it's not the blood that binds. You and I both know that they all weren't her family but this was one fight that I didn't want to take. Some of them are quite famous and I don't want a media circus at the doors." She said as she walked off. She smiled as she walked into another patient's room to go over their vitals for the hour.

"Trini, don't ever scare me like that again." Kim said as she walked in the door causing both Jason and Trini to smile. Jason and Kim were so much alike it was scary at times.
"Kim I'm fine and so is the baby." She said as everyone came into her room.
Since she had the room alone, some of them sat on the other bed in her room. Kim had one chair while Aisha had the other. Jason was leaning against the nightstand by her bed. She smiled at all of them in her room. She didn't know how they swung that but she was happy that they did.
"The baby is really okay?" Tanya asked. She was worried about why Trini suddenly had that sharp of pain.
"Yea, it was just letting me know that they didn't want me to be yelling at Aunt Kim like that. Thank goodness, that it wasn't earlier in my pregnancy or I might have miscarried. The doctors feel that this hasn't done anything to the baby. The heart rate is good and they are very impressed by the baby's weight. I told them that I have had a great cook at my beck and call for the past week." She said as she looked over to Rocky.
Everyone continued to talk until visiting hours were over. They left Trini and Jason for the night with a little fuss from Kim. Tommy finally convinced her that Trini and Jason needed time alone. She agreed as she got in the Jeep.
"Kim you up for some pizza?" He asked as they started down the road. He knew that she would worry about Trini for the next couple of days but it was something that she would have to work through herself. He would be here if or when she wanted to talk. He hoped that she would talk to him soon.
"Yea, I think that everyone could do with something to eat." She said as she turned into the pizza joint.
He ordered 10 pizzas and hoped that it would be enough with Rocky and Connor eating. They finally made it back to his house with the pizzas in tow. They all sat around and talked until the Dinos decided that it was time to head home before their parents started worrying.
Tommy watched as they backed out and headed to their respected homes. He felt rather than heard Kim come up behind him. He turned around to face her and opened his arms. She was ready to talk and he was thankful for that. She didn't need to hold it all in. He bent down, scooped her up, and walked into his room. It would be a long night but everything would be clear in the morning after their talk.
