Epilogue

Three Years Later

"Sophia! Don't hit Greyson with a pillow," Kim said as she hurried over and pulled the pillow from her toddlers hands as she had been 'playing' with the youngest of their brood. "Kylie, can you help her clean up for supper?"

"But Mom…" Kylie started as Kim glared over at her and she quickly moved to help her little sister.

"Hey Grey…Daddy's going to be home soon," Kim whispered as she rocked the three month old in her arms and enjoyed his baby smell. While they had not planned on having four children, she was happy for the little bundle that she was holding in her arms.

"I'm already home," Tommy whispered as he wrapped his arms around her and leaned down to kiss Grey's forehead, before he gave her a quick kiss. "Did you see the news today?"

"I did. They've already called," Kim said as he gulped. They had known the other rangers would call when this day came, but they were still unsure what they were going to do about it. They had walked away from all things ranger related after their mission to get Mesogogg and they hadn't looked back. They absolutely refused to look back.

"How are you?" Tommy asked as their three older children tumbled down the stairs and she barely shook her head. "Come on kids, let's have supper."

"Kim, Tommy, we need your help," Jason stated as he spoke to the answering machine for the fifth time that day. He was unsure how many times the others had called, but he had a feeling they were getting the same treatment. Kim and Tommy were done with being rangers and they had nothing to do with the rangers that had abandoned them. He hated what had happened, but there was no changing it. "They still aren't answering."

"You expect them to?" Andros asked as Jason looked over at him and barely shook his head no. He had accepted that they were not going to save them this time. He had accepted that someone else was going to have to do the job that Kim and Tommy had always done. "Good, I'll go talk to them, but I make no guarantees."

"Thanks," Jason said as Andros teleported out and he let out a long sigh. It looked like his family was the next one on the target list and he was not sure how he'd deal with that. He had no clue how to be a proper mentor and if he couldn't get any advice, he was in deep trouble.

"Hello," Andros said as he appeared in the nursery and Kimberly jumped around, stumbling back into the dresser as she went.

"Andros…" Kim growled as Tommy hurried into the room and he then let out a sigh. "What are you doing here?"

"They asked me to come, since you aren't answering the phone," Andros said as Kim just shook her head. "I'm not going to try to convince you that you should come help, but they need advice on how to handle this."

"They've lost the right to advice of any kind," Kim stated as Greyson let out a cry and she turned to pick the baby up. "Andros…I can't do this again."

"I'm not asking you to. I don't think any of them are going to ask that either, but can you help?" Andros asked as Kim shuddered and Tommy shook his head. "Seriously?"

"They watched us do that job for nearly a decade. They know what it takes to be mentors," Tommy stated as their son let out a particularly loud wail and Kim walked out of the nursery. "We knew this day would come, we can't do it. We're just starting to really live a normal life and the kids…they're scared of normal kid things, not crazy monsters. I don't want that to change."

"I get it," Andros said as Sophia toddled into the room and Tommy scooped her up and took her back to bed.

"I'm not really sure any of you do," Tommy stated as he tucked Sophia in and kissed her on the forehead. "I can't count the number of times that we've nearly died and I love my wife. When we walked away from this, I promised her there was no going back. We can't get involved."

"Alright," Andros said as he gulped and then teleported out. He was not going to try to play mediator any longer, he knew that trying to change Kim and Tommy's minds would push them further away. If there was any hope that they might help them some day in the future, they had

"Babe…" Kim started as Tommy reached over and took Greyson out of her arms and she smiled up at him. "He needs his Daddy."

"Grey- why are we so upset tonight?" Tommy asked as he gently bounced the baby boy and he slowly calmed down.

"You are such a saint," Kim whispered as she looped her arms around his waist and settled against his back.

"We did the right thing and we have to stick to it. For them," Tommy said as he placed Grey back in his crib and then turned around in her arms.

"I know, I just hope the others can figure it out," Kim said as Tommy reached around for her hand and then slowly lead her towards their bedroom.

"We aren't rangers anymore and they're learning just what it means to be rangers again," Tommy said as she smiled up at him and then pulled the door closed behind her. She hoped that the kids would stay put for the night, they both were going to need it.
