Changing Love

Baby Ranger.... An unexpected surprise

            When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed with tubes and wires attached to me. I looked down to see Brody asleep holding my hand. "your awake" I heard a voice say when I looked over, I saw Papa sitting there holding my other hand "oh thank goodness you are alive" Papa said kissing my hand then he stood up to kiss my forehead. "I was so worried that I have lost you" I gave Papa a smile then ran my hands throw Brody's hair which woke him up. "Marie thank goodness" Brody said standing up hugging me then kissed me softly. "I will go let the others know that you are awake. It will give you two a chance to talk" Papa said standing up then made his way to the door. "I will be right back" he said then walked out the door. I looked over at Brody who sat up then leaned back in his chair. "What happened?" I said looking at Brody, which he gave me a smile leaning forward "Well the Monster did some damage when he attacked you. We should have brought you to the hospital when you blacked out the first time. It seemed like the monster broke a couple of rips and well gave you a minor concussion. We had to come up with one heck of a story to tell the doctors and your dad though." Brody let out a small laugh on that then his face went serious. "It seems like we had something we didn't know about Marie." I really didn't understand what he was talking about "Brody explain please" I said trying to sit up. "Marie the doctor said that you were 5 weeks pregnant. Why didn't you tell me about the baby?" He said giving me an upset look "What? I didn't know that I was pregnant." I said laying back down then placed my hands on my stomach. Then looked over at Brody who had tears streaming down his face. "What's wrong?" I said leaning to touch his face "I am just upset and mad. I almost lost you because of the damage that Monster did to you. He caused us to lose our child." I started to cry touching my stomach knowing that I no longer had that small baby inside me. "Marie" Brody said holding me close I wrapped my arms around him crying "It's okay I promise".

The Doctors wanted to keep me in the hospital for a couple of more days after I woke up. They wanted to make sure that there was nothing else wrong, which after a couple of days I got a clean bill of health and was released to come home. When we arrived home, Brody helped me get to my room and Papa brought in my things. Papa allowed Brody to stay with us for a couple of days because he had meetings at the base, and he didn't want me to be alone for a moment. The rest of my friends would stop by on their way to school in the morning and then came by afterschool. Haley and Preston would bring me my assignments from each class, and even helped me compete some of the class work. They even volunteered to take the finished work to the teachers for me. We were lucky that Odius decided to stay on the downlow, but we did get a couple of alarms a couple of times, but it was nothing that they could not handle without me. Mick even suggested that I remained on the sidelines till I was ready to come back at full strength. On the times that Brody was needed either I would go to the base to be with Mick or Redbot would come stay with me at home. At the end of a couple of weeks I felt strong enough to return to school. Brody would carry my books to each class for me. In the classes that we were not in together he would carry them in then go to his class, but if one of the others were in the class with me he would get them to carry them for me. When lunchtime rolled around, I made my way to the table to wait on everyone. "Here you go" Brody said sitting a sandwich in front of me. "Thank you it looks good" I said then started to eat the sandwich. We finished up our lunch then Brody took my hand "Lets go outside." He said then gave me a sweet smile "Alright" I said following him holding on to his hand. He led me to a picnic that was located far from the building. When we got to the table, he turned around the kissed me deeply pulling me closer to him his hands running down my back. I moved my hands around his neck melting into his kiss. When the kiss ended it left me breathless "I love you" Brody said pushing back some hairs away from my face "I love you too" I said then kissed him he pushed me against the table then picked me up sitting me on the table. The kiss ended but he started to suck on my neck which was turning me on in the worse way. "Marie, I want you" Brody said kissing down my neck "Brody I want you too, but we can't do this here" I said pushing his up till his eyes were looking into mine. I couldn't resist I pulled him back to me kissing him passionately pulling his shirt off then dropping it to the ground allowing him to lay me back on to the table "Thought you said we couldn't do it here" he said with a laugh "Screw it as long as we are not caught right" I said as his lips returned to mine. He unbutton my shirt opening it the started to suck on my breast "Oh god Brody" I dug my finger nails into his back as he moved down my stomach. "Guys!" Preston said running up to us "Geez Preston" I said trying to cover up "Mick needs us at base" Preston said standing there waiting on us "hm Pres can you please turn around for a moment" he nodded then turned around as I sat up buttoning my top. "We can finish this when we get home" Brody said then kissed me softly holding my face in his hands. We stood there looking in each other's eyes then he moved his hand to my stomach leaning his head onto mine "Marie Odius will pay for what her monster did." I started to cry, but he whipped the tears away giving me a smile. I returned his smile then watched as he slipped his shirt back on. "Come on we need to get there quick" Preston said walking a head of us. As we walked toward the base, I couldn't help but place my hand on my stomach thinking about my little baby that was in my belly. "Marie are you okay?" Brody said turning around to look at me "I was pregnant Brody. I was pregnant" I said starting to cry. He wrapped his arms around me pulling me close to me holding me tight. We stood there for awhile Brody holding me close allowing me to cry. "I can not imagine how much you are hurting. I wish I could take the pain away" He said then kissed my forehead. "Brody, we got a problem." Calvin's voice came over the communicator. "On our way" Brody said then took my hand.

When we got to the base I decided to remain behind unless they needed me. I could tell that Brody wanted to remain behind with me, and I could tell that he was worried about me. "Brody you need to go with them. I will be okay I have Mick and Redbot here with me" I said giving him a smile. "Marie are you sure?" he looked at me with a worried expression. "Yes, they need you, and if you guys need me, I will come." I kissed him softly. He smiled at me then I watched as he ran after the others. "Marie are you really okay or just telling Brody, so he would stop worrying" Mick said sitting next to me. I really couldn't hide it from Mick. I told him everything. When I was done, he pulled me to him giving me a hug "Marie everything will okay. I know the little one was not plan, but sometimes the smallest thing will cause a great change in our life." Mick said then stood up. "Why don't you lay down for a moment I am sure Brody and the others will be back soon." I smiled at him then curled up on the cot. I laid there thinking for a while about things then it hit me "Mick" I called sitting up "What is it?" Mick said running up to me "The monster that attack me I remember it saying, 'Give me the baby ranger and the power star' I think it could see the baby." I said standing up placing my hands on his shoulder. "I thought that he was talking about me because I am a new ranger, but what if he was talking about the baby." I needed to get to Brody and the others I stood up walked toward the tunnel "Marie where you are going?" Mick said following me "I need to tell Brody what I figured out" I said looking back at him. He nodded his head then followed me through the tunnel. "Here use this Power Star" Mick handed me a power star "I have a power star" I said smiling at him trying to give it back to him, but he wouldn't take it. "You will need it. Odius somehow knew that you were pregnant, and she might still think you are." Mick said giving me a little smile. I looked at him in the eyes then got understood what he meant. I nodded my head then morphed.

When I arrived at the park, I ran right to Brody who was on the ground. "Marie what are you doing here" Brody said looking at me "I figured out what he meant by baby ranger" I said giving him a smile. Brody just gave me a confused look all I did was place my hand on my stomach then he smiled understanding what I was telling him. "I see that the new ranger has arrived." The monsters said looking at me "Yes I am" I said taking my fighting stance "You handing over your power star? Or will I have taken it" I looked over at him then I ran right for him with my weapon drawn, but the monster sent a blast right toward me sending me flying back landing on my back. "I told you little ranger either you give me your Power star, or I can take it from you, along with the baby ranger" he said then laughing. "You will not touch my baby" then I looked over at Brody "You will not touch our baby" Brody said standing up then he helped me back to my feet. "love you don't need to fight him think about our child" then he wrapped his arms around me. I started to cry placing my hands on my stomach wishing that my baby was still there. "Brody, he doesn't know that he caused me to lose the baby" I whispered to him "please let me help you guys defeat this monster" I knew that I couldn't see his face, but I knew he understood what I was telling him.
