pockythoughts for letting me spaz at her when this was being difficult. Also thanks to everyone else who contributed when Karone was giving me issues about what morpher she was going to get.
Chapter 3:
Jason leaned against the doorframe of the empty room. The walls were a blank white, ready for any color that he’d pick. The carpet was still that multiple brown mix it’d been when he moved in. He’d intended to change it.
“How about a guest room?” Kim suggested.
“I already have a guest room,” Jason pointed out, “Do I really need two?”
“An office?” she tried.
“I have an office,” Jason pointed out, “When Adam and I were putting the dojo together we made sure to put aside office space.”
Jason frowned. How could he possibly tell Kim what this room meant to him, what his original intentions for it had been?
Kim regarded him a moment, head tilted as she thought. Finally she asked, “What did she want it to be?”
“It’s my house,” Jason reminded.
Kim nodded, “Did she give you the ring back?”
Jason shook his head, “No. It’s been a year so it’s a loss.”
Kim nodded looking concerned.
“I’m over Emily,” Jason reminded, “I’ve dated…I just haven’t found the right person yet.”
Absently Jason ran his thumb over his lips remembering that interrupted kiss with Andros. Why couldn’t he stop thinking about that kiss?
“You haven’t dated anyone in over a month,” Kim pointed out.
Jason frowned, “I haven’t?”
“Nope,” Kim confirmed.
Had it really been over a month since he’d seen Andros? Jason looked around the blank room and decided to distract Kim instead of telling her that he suspected he’d met someone, but that he wasn’t quite sure where to begin with them. Jason shrugged, “She wanted to move one of her friends in and I had hoped to turn it into a nursery.”
“Jason,” Kim frowned as she crossed over. He leaned down and accepted the hug she gave him.
“It’s okay,” he mumbled into her hair, “I should’ve known when I asked if she wanted to get a house or put a wedding together and she chose house.”
“How could you have known?” Kim sympathized as she stepped back to look at him.
Jason frowned slightly as he thought about it, thought best how to phrase what he wanted to say, “She never helped pay for this place. I used the inheritance from Grandpa to cover most of the costs and she didn’t contribute anything.”
Kim frowned at him.
Jason shrugged, “We wanted different things out of life and the things I changed for her were little, the things she’d of changed for me were asking too much.”
Kim’s eyes darted over his face a moment and he wasn’t quite sure he liked the worry on her face. Finally she nodded crossed her arms and smiled, “Well at least you got a bike out of it.”
“There is that,” Jason agreed, “but it still doesn’t help me decide what to do with this room.”
Kim spun around to look at the space again as the doorbell rang.
“Guess we save it for another time,” Jason smiled before he went to answer the door, Kim following.
Jason paused when he found Tommy on his doorstep with two other people who looked familiar. Wait, one of them was an Astro ranger. He’s seen the news having fits over them after they morphed in public. Was Andros okay? That was a silly question, Jason berated himself, they wouldn’t be coming to talk to him if something had happened to Andros.
“Hi!” Kim greeted as she elbowed him. Jason stepped away as she threw herself at Tommy for a hug, “Where have you been?”
Tommy smiled as he wrapped his arms around her, “With Hayley mostly. Justin decided to bring over his initial ideas of what to do with the Dino Gems and now she’s taking over. He’s so busy with school and another project that he’s let her have it so…I’m trying to reign in ideas.”
Kim grinned stepping back, “When do I get to meet her?”
“Whenever you want?” Tommy asked, before he teased, “After I get to see your ring.”
Kim held out her hand. Tommy took it, examining it, “Kat’s look the same?”
“We picked them out together,” she nodded.
The very blonde guy tapped Tommy’s shoulder. Was that blonde? Jason wasn’t quite sure. Tommy responded by tilting Kim’s hand so he could see her ring.
“Oh!,” the young woman responded as she peaked over the guys shoulder, “It’s beautiful.”
“Thanks!” Kim grinned.
The guy glanced at him. Jason blinked and asked, “Ranger business?”
The young woman nodded seriously, looking him over. Tommy turned, “Jason, Kim this is Zhane and Karone. Karone, Zhane this is Jason and Kim.”
After exchanging hello’s and inviting them inside Jason asked, “Did we miss something?”
“Miss something?” Tommy asked.
Jason smiled at Tommy’s confused look as he reminded, “That crazy red mission to the moon that you organized. Did we miss something?”
“No, but something has happened,” Tommy explained before he looked over to Zhane and Karone, “I’m still a bit confused on that.”
Karone crossed her arms, examining Jason again as she agreed, “Same here.”
“Maybe we’d better sit down,” Zhane suggested.
It didn’t take long to get everyone settled into his living room when it became clear that no one wanted anything to drink. Jason settled on the couch next to Tommy and bumped his shoulder wanting to find a way to wipe that serious, but confused look off his friend’s face. Kim was on the other side of Tommy and he leaned over to exchange a glance at her. She ran a soothing hand over Tommy’s back and glanced over to where Karone and Zhane were perched in chairs next to each other. Zhane’s look was friendly, but examining and Karone…
Jason frowned, “Hey, you’re…”
“Andros’ sister,” she supplied, “Or I used to be Astronema.”
Jason nodded. She’d meant both as a challenge.
“Are you okay?” Kim asked.
Karone blinked as though she wasn’t quite sure what to make of the empathy coming from Kim voice. Zhane reached out and squeezed her knee and Karone took his hand, squeezing it.
“Jason,” Tommy asked slowly, “did anything happen after I left for the hospital?”
Confused Jason turned from looking at Karone to looking at him, “You knew our plans. Celebrate and crash here.”
“Between you and my brother,” Karone clarified.
Jason looked at her again, then back to Tommy, then to Zhane.
“Is he okay?” Jason asked.
“We…” Zhane started and then broke off. He closed his eyes briefly before he glanced at Karone the worry evident on his face.
Jason sat forward. Andros wasn’t dead was he? No, he couldn’t be? Why were they here? What had happened?
“Did anything happen?” Zhane asked him.
“We were a little drunk,” Jason said, not sure what they wanted or that Andros would want him to say anything about the kiss they shared.
“You guys got him drunk?” Tommy asked.
“Not much,” Jason said, “TJ stressed not to, but between Eric and Carter everyone pretty much had a few.”
“Eric and Carter?” Tommy asked.
“Eric wanted to get Wes a bit drunk. Carter helped enable,” Jason explained.
“What does that have to do with my brother?” Karone asked sounding stressed, before she sat back in the seat with an exasperated noise, “We’re wasting our time.”
“It’s probably fine,” Zhane soothed, “We don’t even know when it happened.”
“But we do know that…” Karone broke off.
“When I asked him about it later he said he was fine, that he sometimes forgets he shouldn’t and floats things,” Jason offered, “Is he okay?”
He had to know if Andros was okay? Where was Andros?
Jason ran a hand over his forehead as he wondered where this sudden need to find Andros was coming from. He ran a thumb over his lips. They really couldn’t have come all this way because he kissed Andros, could they?
“Jason,” Kim asked slowly, “Are you alright?”
“Fine,” he answered.
He turned to find her leaned forward watching him from around Tommy, “You said you wanted to find a guy and you were going out quite a bit before that red mission. When you came back you just stopped. You’ve been dis…no…different somehow and I can’t find the right words, but…”
“Kim,” Jason interrupted as he reached around to give her hand a squeeze, “I don’t think they came here because I…”
Had he upset Andros? Had it been extremely culturally wrong to kiss Andros as he had? But Andros had kissed him back.
“You know,” Tommy interrupted, “Jason touches everyone, all the time touches everyone so it could’ve been any little thing and could’ve happened at any time so are you sure? I mean how exactly…are you sure?”
Jason frowned. What was Tommy talking about? Kim looked between Tommy, Zhane and Karone.
“We’re sure,” Zhane answered.
“Sure about what?” Kim asked.
“Parryth,” Karone answered.
“What?” Jason asked.
“They think that Andros is pregnant,” Tommy explained, “and that you’re the dad.”
Jason sank into the couch as his mind stuttered to a stop. He barely heard himself stutter out, “I only kissed him twice.”
“That would be enough,” Zhane told him.
Oh.
Dimly Jason became aware that Kim was kneeling in front of him. When had she moved? How had she gotten over here so quickly? He frowned at her. She smiled, “Guess you get your nursery after all.”
