A/N: This is it guys... I want to thank every one for reading this story, my vision of how this story goes took a different rout once I got Tanya involved in the story. But it seemed to work out in the end.
Thank you to all of you that have reviewed, followed and favored this story. It means a lot. I am sure I will be crying once I complete the story with this chapter.
And Tommy's son's name if any one missed it is in honor of the late Eric Frank, Jason's brother.
I also received a prompt to write another team-up. This time with four Power Rangers from each team ranging from MMPR- Operation Overdrive. I am also bringing back the main Villain from each season. I have it mapped out but not written down yet.
Also, I wrote a funny little story for the beginning of Zeo that I will be posting as soon as it's finished editing. It's gonna be posted very soon either today or tomorrow. Then I will start on the other story.
Standing in the front yard in his navy blue tux with matching tie, Billy Cranston could not believe today was the day. It had been 5 years since he had been back, and 5 years since defeating Rita's son, Thrax as well as assisting the Dino Thunder Rangers with their enemy.
In that 5 years a lot had changed. Tommy, Jason, Kimberly, Adam, Tanya, Zack and Aisha put their heads together and built from the ground up a home for Billy. It was about two miles from Tommy's house and 1 mile from Jason's.
It took about one year to build, in that time Billy dated Hayley whom he had gotten close to since his arrival in Reefside.
The house stood just inside the tree line from the main road, it was a white house with blue shutters, two stories tall and over 3,000 square feet. There was no doubt Billy would be happy here. Adam, Jason and Tommy knew that Billy's love for building things and inventing did not fade with time and they had a spacious shed built in the back with running water and heat for the winter.
After the battle 5 years ago Billy moved in with Jason for a short time before his house was built. In those 5 years blessings happened in the Power Ranger family.
Adam and Tanya were blessed with a healthy baby boy.
Just after the battle had taken place Kimberly found out her and Tommy were to be expecting the following fall. In August the Oliver's welcomed fraternal twins a boy and girl.
Zack had been living in Angel Grove when he was involved in a fender bender car accident and couldn't believe it was his old high school crush Angela. It took a couple months but the two began dating, seriously this time.
Aisha moved to Reefside and began her own clothing line and also helped underprivileged families that could not afford clothing for their families.
Jason met up with Emily, his flame from high school as well, the two married just after dating for two years.
Billy looked out at the decorated yard and thought about everything that had happened over the past 15 years of his life. Becoming a Power Ranger, living on other planets, saving the world with his friends and new Rangers then meeting the love of his life...
"Hey man? You alright?"
Billy jumped when Jason put a hand on his shoulder. "Yea... I was just thinking" Billy replied looking up at the clear blue summer sky.
Jason shook his head and told him. "Now that over active mind of yours needs to settle down, it's your wedding day!"
Billy chuckled and told his best friend. "It's not that, its just... so much has changed in what seems like such a short time. And I got a phone call this morning... there is one more guest for the wedding."
Jason frowned and asked. "Who?"
Billy looked over at Jason and said. "My dad... Hayley apparently found him and sent him an invitation. I got a phone call yesterday."
Jason gave him a concerned look. "She knows he abandoned you doesn't she?"
Billy nodded and turned to him. "Yes she does. But after talking it over with her she said it wouldn't be fair for me to be bitter towards him. And that Marcie made a lot of bad choices back then and how she treated me and dad."
Jason could sense something was still off. "What aren't you telling me?"
"Marcie died two years ago... She was in a car accident and died before the paramedics could get there."
"Oh wow. So your dad just now contacted you?"
"He didn't know I was back... I would have been there for him had I known sooner. He says he is making a life change him self, but wants to tell me in person."
Tommy walked down the steps of the house and told the two. "Hey guys! Get ready! The wedding's gonna start soon!"
The wedding was small, it only consisted of former Power Rangers and their families. Billy nodded and walked to where he was supposed to stand with Jason right behind him as his best man. Tommy was an usher and soon joined them.
Tommy smiled with pride as his twins Trinity and Eric walked in front of Hayley as the ring bearer and flower girl. Trinity was named in honor of Trini that had passed on some time ago due to a car accident.
Hayley wore a white dress with no train that came down to her ankles, the V neck of the dress was lined with pearls with cut off sleeves.
Billy still had not seen his dad come in so he turned his attention to Hayley. As the preacher spoke Billy couldn't help but think of how lucky he was taking the ring from Eric they said their vows and exchanged rings. Once the I do's were exchanged every one went to the back yard where the reception was.
Billy was talking to Rocky and Adam when they both got a shocked expression on their faces and it made Billy turn around. Standing on the back steps was a man Billy had not seen in almost a decade. Walking forward Billy wrapped his arms around his father and said softly. "I'm so sorry..."
Mr. Cranston held his son tight and told him. "I'm the one that should be sorry. I should never have left you..."
The guests watched the exchange in silence, Tommy and Jason shared a meaningful look as they watched the two.
Billy pulled back and told his dad. "For the last 5 years I wanted to call you so bad, but I didn't know what to say..."
Mr. Cranston told his son. "I know, I am so sorry for what I did to you. I should have known Marcie was a bad person but I... I guess the loss of your mom made me want to get remarried to just about any one. I am just glad you had your friends to fall back on."
Hayley was sitting down at the bride/groom table and watched as she had reunited the Cranston's at long last.
After a few more words were exchanged Billy joined his wife at the table. He held up his wine glass and said.
"I want to make a toast, first to my wife, who's stubbornness is far past my own for getting my dad and I back together again. And second to my friends, with out you guys I don't know where I would be."
Mr. Cranston spoke up then. "Still on Aquatar."
Billy gave him a questioning look before Hayley spoke softly beside him. "I told him the truth, it's OK go on."
Billy shook his head and continued. "I hope I wouldn't still be there, I missed you all so much while I was off the planet. At one point I had been thinking about Earth and should I come back? Then I wondered what would be the point. But when readings showed that my friends were soon going to be in danger I knew the decision was made... I had to come back, and once again save the world from evil. I never would have imagined finding my future wife when I returned."
Every one toasted then Jason stood. "You know guys, there was a time when I thought Billy would never find the right person for him, heck he met Cestria and I thought it was a match until he told me what had happened on Aquitar. It takes a lot of guts to stay in a place that you have no roots and help out when some one you thought you loved hurt you. But no guts no glory right? When he called me and told me he was coming home, Tommy and I purposely made sure that when he teleported back to Earth that he would meet Hayley. You should have seen his face the second he met her. Me and Tommy became match makers for these two. And I for one am so glad it worked out."
More kind words were said as various friends toasted them and they finally cut the cake. Billy was so happy to know that his life was now full of happiness.
Billy and his father spoke again after Hayley and Billy's first dance, Billy found out that the 'life change' his father spoke of was to move to Reefside permanently. So he could be near his son.
2 years later...
Billy sat in the hospital waiting room, not being able to stay still he kept pacing. Tommy, Kimberly and Jason kept trying to calm the former Blue Rangers nerves. Kimberly told her old friend.
"Billy, would you sit down! We will know something soon."
Zack, Angela, Aisha, Tanya and Adam all came in to the waiting room. Adam saw the pacing and asked Tommy.
"No word yet?"
Tommy shook his head and told him with a chuckle. "You'd think something more serious was happening besides becoming a father. But I bet it's killing him that the doctors won't let him be back there."
Adam watched Billy, he had been walking in those very shoes 6 years ago when his son was born.
Adam got up from his seat and stopped his pacing friend. "Billy, I know how this feels. Everything will be alright."
Just then a nurse came in with a pale blue bundle and told them all. "Billy Cranston?"
When Billy stepped forward he was handed the baby. "Congratulations, it's a boy."
The couple wanted to be surprised so they had no clue what the sex of their baby was going to be. Billy looked down at his son who was sleeping soundly. Billy's dad had died one year ago due to cancer that he never told Billy about. In that sadness of loosing his father he learned the joy of becoming a father him self.
"You know little guy, I will be there for you always, no matter where life takes you, just know I will always be there."
All the friends gathered around the new born baby and his father congratulating and giving their own kind words for the small child. It wasn't until after Billy and Hayley took their son home that Billy noticed a birth mark on his son's lower back. It was round in shape and after closely studying it Billy could faintly make out a wolf in the center.
Looking down at his son on the changing table he said to him softly. "Like father like son... I have the wolf spirit too..."
The End
A/N: I can't believe that after 20 years this story has finally been written... Zeo Ranger Two was not really part of that vision, but I couldn't just let Tanya sit on the sidelines.
I may have left an opening for future stories about Billy's little boy. Or maybe not... I am so happy at the feedback I got from this.
