It was turning out to be a slow day at the law office, so Trini has spent most of her time in her office; looking over case files and nursing a hot cup of coffee. She originally had planned on taking a personal day after the crazy eleven days she had, however, it would be insensitive of her to play hooky since she hasn't been at the new law firm for very long.
Besides, the original yellow ranger knew that staying in her house all day would bore her to tears, so she knew that being at work proved to be more constructive, more productive and gave her a much needed distraction from everything that's been going on since her return to Angel Grove.
She was trying to muster up the courage to see Vivian, who was still laying unconscious at the hospital ever since she visited Russell ten days ago. The Vietnamese beauty was surprised that her conversation with her ex-fiancé was civil and calm; not to mention a lot of questions were finally answered about their relationship. It would take her some time to conjure up the courage to forgive him, but she doesn't hate him and she wished him well on his recovery.
She doesn't regret their 18 months together, but it was time to move on and find a new adventure.
And his name happened to be Jason.
A big smile formed on Trini's face at the thought of her best friend turned soon-to-be boyfriend. God, that man has been truly a rock to her since her return to Angel Grove. She can't imagine her life without him, which is why she's not gonna keep him in the dark about where they stand for much longer. Whenever she goes to sleep at night, she'd dream about his handsome smile, his gorgeous baby face, his short brown hair...and that body. Man, there's been times where she used to watch him work on his kata at the youth center and her head would swim at the sight of him all sweaty and shirtless; even making her mouth water and her girly parts tingle with anticipation.
And they were just fucking teenagers!
Well, that was then, this is now. She's a grown ass woman with a sweet career and a gorgeous looking man waiting for her. She was so happy being back home where she truly belongs, however, she still has some things to work out concerning her past. Forgiveness is something she doesn't take lightly, which is why she's still struggling on whether she should go and visit Vivian or not. A part of her is telling her she doesn't have to go because she owes that woman nothing; especially after all Vivian has put her through. However, another part of her is telling her to go so she could have the closure she needs to finally move on. Holding grudges for long periods of time is something Trini's not known for.
As she was battling her inner self on what she should do, she was broken out of her trance when Brenda walked into her office with a smile on her face.
"Hey, Brenda, what's up?" Trini asked with a small smile on her face.
"It's pretty slow here, so I'm gonna head on out to lunch and I'm gonna just head on home for the rest of the day. Wanna join me?" she asked softly.
Trini sighed deeply as she picked up a stack of files off her desk. "I wish, but I have to look over these files. It's all good, though. I need a distraction."
"That's right, you have a court appearance coming up soon. Well, don't overexert yourself, okay? I'll catch up with you later," Brenda said as she was about to leave.
"Wait, Brenda, can I talk to you about something important? It's not about the case but it's a little more on the personal side," Trini said, stopping her boss in her tracks.
Brenda looked curiously as she looked over her shoulder. "Does it has something to do with what happened to you almost two weeks ago?"
"Something like that. I just need a fellow woman's input about these types of things. Have you even been brokenhearted in a relationship?" Trini asked, getting right to the point.
Brenda closed the door and ended up taking a seat right across from Trini's desk. She placed her hands on the wood oak desk and sighed; realizing that it was time to reveal the most painful parts of her life.
"Yes, I have been brokenhearted; in so many ways. Michael and Carissa are the only two people that knows my story, however, I feel I should tell you because you were open and honest with us about what you've been through in Boston," she replied, her tone soft but unsure.
Trini was surprised at what she said. "Wow. You went through a similar situation like I did?"
"Yeah, I did. It was 15 years ago and I met a man named Sean. He was handsome, older and came from a privileged background. I met him in my junior year in college and fell in love with him on the spot. We were together for several years before he dropped down on one knee and asked me to marry him; in front of our family and friends. I eagerly said yes and after he slipped the 18 carat diamond engagement ring on my finger, I had my own big news to share with him: I was pregnant," Brenda started explaining.
"You were pregnant?" Trini asked, looking shocked.
"Yeah. Sean was over the moon with the news. I was so happy that I was oblivious to what he was really doing behind my back. I didn't find out about it until our wedding day," Brenda said, looking somber.
"What happened?" Trini asked, looking at her curiously.
Brenda laughed sarcastically. "Well, it's like this: while I was busy happily planning my wedding, Sean was busy getting acquainted in another woman's bed. Her name is Gina and like him, she came from a privileged background, was beautiful and had the whole world at her feet. They were sneaking around behind my back while I was preparing to marry him. Then, on our wedding day, Sean dropped the ultimate bomb on me: he announced that he was no longer in love with me and that he has every intention of marrying Gina. I was devastated beyond belief. I couldn't believe he would do this to me on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. Sadly, I never got the chance to tell him how I felt because he and Gina ran off together. They got married on the same day by going to the justice of the peace."
"Oh, man. That was cruel. How could he do this to you? And weren't you pregnant with his child?" Trini asked, reaching over and taking Brenda's hand into hers.
"Yeah, but that didn't matter to him. He didn't wanna be tied down to a girl who was gonna bring a child into the world, so he opted for something more exciting. I guess Gina brought some much needed excitement in his life, so that's why he ran off and married her. Well, things only went downhill from there for me. Shortly after I got jilted at my wedding, tragedy struck. I suffered a terrible miscarriage," Brenda revealed, tears brimming in her eyes.
"God, I'm so sorry," Trini said genuinely. Her heart broke for her boss, having to hear the devastating news.
"Yeah, me, too. What was even more tragic is that Sean didn't even take the time to come see me; much less call me to see if I'm okay. He was too invested in his marriage to Gina to even care about me. I had to deal with this on my own; not even my own family were there for me. They didn't like the fact that I was even engaged to Sean in the first place, so they promptly distanced themselves from me. When they learned what happened, it was like they were rubbing it in my face that he was no good for me. I never felt so low in my life," Brenda huffed angrily.
"So how did you deal with everything that happened?" Trini asked, wiping her face with her hands.
Brenda gave her a grim smile. "After my miscarriage, I thought I was still able to have children, but my doctor informed me that because of the severity of my miscarriage, my chances of having children were very low. Hell, the chances that I could become pregnant again was less than 10%. I lumped into a deep state of depression after that. I lost a lot of weight, I never left my bed, I couldn't eat or sleep and I just wanted to die. Being jilted at my wedding and losing my unborn child was too much for me to handle. At one point, I even took a whole bottle of anti-depressants to numb my pain. I just wanted it all to end."
"Oh, God. So how did you get through it?" Trini asked, placing her hand over her beating chest.
"I finally mustered up the courage to get out of my bed and realized that I still had a life to live. So I started going to therapy and even started going to church for spiritual guidance. I learned through my counseling sessions that in order for me to move on, I have to forgive those who have done me wrong. It took me a long time, but eventually I did forgive Sean and Gina for what they did to me. Besides, karma came knocking at their door. They're now divorced and, believe it or not, he has full custody of their two kids. She has to pay him child support because she makes more than him," Brenda explained with a chuckle.
"You're right about karma, though. She's a bitch," Trini agreed, laughing softly.
"Anyway, during my healing process, I found love again. He happened to be an old high school friend of mine and was moving back home following his stint in the Navy. His name is Nathan and I must say, I never loved anyone like I love him. We've been married for almost eight years now," Brenda said with a bright smile.
"I'm glad you were able to find someone who loves you," Trini replied with a smile of her own.
"Oh, and the best part about this, I was told that I wouldn't be able to have children. Well, I must've been misinformed because shortly after Nate and I got married, I ended up pregnant again. This time, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Fiona. Nate and I couldn't be more thrilled. At this point, my life couldn't be better. I have a husband who truly loves me and a daughter I'd give my life for. I have a great career and a great home life. I was able to overcome a lot that has come my way and you can, too, by forgiving yourself," Brenda said with a smile on her face.
Trini nodded her head. "I've already taken the first steps by going to visit my ex-fiancé at the hospital. He and I were able to talk and while we can never be what we were before, I think we're taking the right steps to go forward."
"What about his ex-fiancee? Have you seen her?" Brenda asked, looking curious.
"No. I don't know if I should. It's obvious when she pointed the gun at me that something wasn't right in her head, but...I don't know. A part of me feels that I owe her nothing," Trini replied, shrugging her shoulders.
Brenda shook her head as she got up from the chair and headed towards the door. "My best advice is to go and see her. I never had the chance to talk to Sean and Gina about our situation and it's something I deeply regret. Go talk to Vivian and find the closure you need to move on and find happiness with your childhood friend. You'll feel better about it afterwards," Brenda suggested, her voice soft, but firm.
Trini sighed deeply. "Maybe you're right, Brenda. I'm just scared of how it'll turn out. But, like you said, I can't keep my emotions hidden for very long. I'll be the bigger person and go see her."
"Believe me, Tri, everything's gonna be okay. Just remember, forgiveness is key and love will prevail," Brenda said, winking at Trini before stepping out of her office and prepare to go home.
Leaning back against the chair, the Vietnamese beauty took in everything Brenda told her. She was right about one thing; in order for her to fully move on with her life, she has to take the next necessary step towards forgiveness, redemption and salvation.
A decision has been made. Looks like Trini will be heading back to the hospital to talk to Vivian.
Hopefully, the claws won't come out and they can be able to work out their issues before it's too late.

Intensive Care Unit
Angel Grove Medical Center
Angel Grove, California
September 8th, 2002
Resting comfortable in her hospital bed and looking as well as she could be, Vivian allowed a comfortable silence to linger in the air as she let out a deep breath and felt something she hadn't felt in a long time: peace.
She felt peace in her heart that she was still alive after everything that happened in almost two weeks' time. Looking back on it now, she didn't know what possessed her to go to Trini's house, brandishing a .38 caliber and holding the Vietnamese beauty hostage when it was clear she wasn't really the problem. Vivian was so consumed with revenge following her broken engagement with Russell that she may have ruined so many people's lives in the process.
That's something she deeply regrets now.
And, she only made the situation worse when Russell and Jason tried to take the gun away from her. In her rage, she kicked her ex-fiancé right in his nuts and punched Jason right in his chest; clearly surprised by her own strength. However, during the struggle, she somehow managed to place her finger on the trigger and when the smoke cleared, shots rang out; leaving her, Russell and Jason laying on the porch.
In the end, though, it was only Russell and Vivian who got seriously hurt. Jason, other than getting punched his chest, left unscathed.
And now she was here; recovering from her injuries and coming to grips of her selfish needs nearly destroying everyone in her life. Vivian may never get over what she did, but at least she'll have a chance to make it right.
Eventually.
She was so consumed in her own self-pity that she failed to notice the door being opened and another female walking into the room; holding a bouquet of flowers. When Vivian finally looked over her shoulder to see who was there, she was completely stunned to find Trini walking into the room, smiling slightly at her as she sat the vase of flowers down on the table, then she pulled up a chair beside the bed and sat down on it, never taking her eyes off the Chinese woman laying in bed.
"I never thought I'd see you here; given how awful things were between us," Vivian said, laughing sarcastically.
Trini just shook her head. "Well, I contemplated not coming at all, but a conversation with my boss helped me with my decision. Besides, you and I have some unfinished business to attend to. We need to hash this out once and for all so we can both move on with our lives."
"I agree with you, Trini. I'd take it you visited Russell, right?" Vivian asked, her heart breaking at the mention of her ex-fiance's name.
"Yeah, I did. We talked and came to an understanding. He and I will never happen again because I found someone else, but I don't hate him...and you," Trini replied softly.
"Even after what we put you through, you don't hate us? You're a much better person that I thought," Vivian huffed, not believing her ears.
Trini sighed deeply. "I don't have the time or the strength to hate anyone; no matter how much they hurt me. Holding a grudge against someone is not my style. If I want to move on, I have to learn to forgive...not only to you and Russell, but also I have to learn to forgive myself."
"Yeah, well, I don't blame you if you never forgive me for putting you through hell. If anything, I don't forgive me," Vivian broke down.
Trini reached over and took Vivian's hand into hers gently. "Yes you can forgive yourself, Viv. It's gonna take time, but you will. I do hope you get the help you need because I have a feeling you're hurting and it may have something to do with your past."
Vivian nodded her head slowly. "You may be right about that, Trini. My past does have something to do with the way I've been acting. Growing up as an only child in Hong Kong, my parents spoiled me, but they were never really there for me emotionally. Because I grew up in a privileged environment, anything I wanted, I would get, no questions asked; including coming to America to pursue my dreams of becoming a lawyer."
"But, then, Russell came along," Trini stated the obvious.
"Yeah. It wasn't love at first sight at first because when we first met, he did come off as an egotistical asshole and rubbed me the wrong way. In time, however, his charm and his personality wormed its way into my heart and I knew we were meant to be. I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life with him, but things have a way of coming between us; mainly other women," Vivian explained, huffing angrily.
"Whoa, don't overexert yourself. You came out of a medically induced coma. You don't wanna end up hurting yourself again," Trini warned, placing her other hand on the Chinese woman's shoulder to calm her down.
"I don't know why I keep acting like this whenever another woman comes into our lives, but I thought I'd be the only woman for him. It's pretty apparent that I'm not," Vivian said under her breath.
"Well, why didn't you walk away from him if you knew what kind of person he was?" Trini asked, looking confused.
Vivian looked at her somberly. "Because my bruised ego and pride wouldn't allow me to walk away. I loved him so much that I was willing to do anything to keep him; even resorting to dirty tricks in order to get what I want. So when you came into the picture and I saw him going out of his way to get you to go out with him, I knew I had to do whatever it took to lure him back into my web."
"He told me you and him were seeing each other behind my back while I was planning my wedding to him. And, you were right; he did come here to tell me that he still loved me, but I told him that he and I will never happen again. I found someone else," Trini told her.
Vivian sighed deeply. "I know that. He didn't even deny it when he stopped by my hotel room, however, I had a sinking feeling that we were pretty much done. I didn't want that to happen, so I hired a private investigator to track you and Jason down; hoping to make sure you don't come back to Boston and, more importantly, don't attend my wedding. However, when I saw how good you looked and how you were doing just fine without Russell, I knew the inevitable was coming. You were starting over and my life was spiraling out of control."
"I don't understand why did you go to Jason's place of employment and tried to seduce him?" Trini asked, shaking her head in disbelief.
"I didn't know what I was thinking; trying to lure Jason into my bed in order for you to stay away from Russell, but it's pretty clear that the man's crazy about you. He was willing to die for you when he stood right in the line of fire. I mean, if you really think about it, can you blame me for coming on to him? In case you haven't noticed, Jason's gorgeous," Vivian said dreamily.
Trini's eyes sparkled at the thought of the OG red ranger. "Believe me, Viv, I've noticed. I've known him since we were eight years old, so I practically grew up with him. So, yeah, he's definitely a gorgeous hunk of man candy. Not to mention, for a small woman, you packed a pretty big punch. He got punched in the chest while you three were struggling for the gun."
"Even I didn't know I had that much strength to punch someone; let alone in their chest. I really did lose my mind," Vivian said softly once the laughter died down.
"Like I told Russell, you're hurting. I was hurting, too, when he announced to everyone at the church that he had every intention of marrying you, but you don't see me going up to someone's house brandishing a gun and dressing up like a stealth assassin. Yes, I cried myself to sleep at night; wondering what did I do so wrong that caused him to act this way and say what he said, however, I picked myself up, gathered my bearings and realized that I still have a lot of life to live. I have a man who not only loves me, but he's willing to do anything to heal my broken heart; even if it means sacrificing his own needs to make sure mine's are met first. Believe me, Vivian, it's not the end of the world. You just need to start making better decisions, that's all," Trini explained, squeezing the other woman's hand lightly.
Trini should definitely be qualified for sainthood. She could've lashed out at me or even tried to take me out for revenge, but she's really a much better person that I thought. I know I have a lot of shit to make up for, however, talking to her has proven to be cathartic. I really hope that I have enough faith in my to forgive myself, a voice in Vivian's head said as she allowed fresh tears to stream down her face.
"Hey, are you okay?" Trini asked, looking concerned.
"I'm fine. Listen, I know I'm gonna have to appear in court when I get out of the hospital and I know I'm gonna have to answer to what I've done. I just hope the judge will go easy on me," Vivian said in a soft, unsure voice.
Trini smiled slightly. "Maybe, maybe not. We'll just have to wait and see what he says. In the meantime, you have to worry about getting better; both physically and emotionally."
"That's gonna be hard to do. I mean, on the emotional side, that is. But I'll do my best to get myself together mentally," Vivian conceded, smiling at the Vietnamese woman.
Trini kept smiling as she let go of Vivian's hand and got up from the chair. It was time for her to go because she has a long drive ahead of her.
"Wait, are you leaving?" Vivian asked, looking confused.
"As a matter of fact, I am. I'm heading towards Malibu and I have a long drive ahead of me. You know I live here in Angel Grove," Trini replied as she headed towards the door.
"Ah, going to see that gorgeous specimen of a man, huh? Well, I can't blame you. But, whatever you do, let the man breathe and don't overexert yourself with all that physical activity you're about to do," Vivian said, winking at her.
Trini laughed loudly. "Oh, believe me, there's a good chance I won't be able to walk when Jason gets through with me."
"Well, go get 'em, girl. And, on a more serious note, I could clearly see you and Jason really love each other. Don't let him go but don't end up like me. You're a good person and I wish you all the best in your relationship with him. You both deserve it," Vivian said, smiling genuinely.
Trini smiled back at her. "It's not too late for you to find love again. My boss told me that at the end of the day, love will prevail."
"You really think so?" Vivian asked, looking a little bit skeptical.
"I know so. I'll, uh, come by and talk to you later," Trini said as she opened the door and walked out of her hospital room, a huge weight being lifted off her shoulders.
Vivian smiled as she leaned back against the bed and closed her eyes, her own weight has been lifted off her shoulders. It actually felt good for them to be able to have a civil conversation without any yelling, screaming, calling each other vile names and disrespecting each other with hurtful putdowns. The Chinese woman realized that she was taking the right steps towards redemption.
It's gonna be a long, tough road, but I'll do whatever it takes to make it there. Talking to Trini has proved to be very therapeutic. I hope and pray Russell and I can be able to at least talk things out so we can wipe the slate clean and go on with our lives; either together or separately.
Meanwhile, Trini walked out of the hospital and headed towards her car; intending on going home to change clothes before heading to Malibu to visit Jason. As she arrived at her car, her insides tingled in anticipation of getting that sexy man naked, throwing him down on the bed and having her way with him.
Man, Jason better be ready for a ride on the Saber Toothed Tiger express!

Scott Residence
Malibu, California
September 8th, 2002
Jason was sitting in his living room; nursing a glass of white wine and watching the sun set through his window. Living among the Malibu coast was the best thing that ever happened to him because he cherished the time where he can be just serene, quiet and relaxed after a hectic week at the real estate office. The weekends were especially special to him because he doesn't have to leave his house a lot; with the exception of running his dojo, but he'd often take advantage of his down time by walking barefoot on the beach and feeling the water crashing against his feet.
Little did he know, he won't be experiencing his down time by himself after tonight.
He got up from the sofa and walked towards the spacious window, marveling at the sight of sun setting down over the crystal clear blue water. He was so engrossed with the beautiful scenery that he barely noticed a car pulling up in his driveway. When he finally turned his attention to the person stepping out of his car, his heart fluttered in his chest and he felt his palms getting sweaty as a certain raven haired woman started descending up the steps.
Jason sat his glass of wine down on the table and headed towards the front door. He barely even opened it when she finally landed on the front porch and basically launched herself at him; wrapping her arms around his neck and slanting her mouth on his ruthlessly.
Gripping her hips in his hands, he pulled her right inside, kicking the door closed with his foot. He promptly pushed her against the door and pressing his hard body against her; his lips never leaving hers.
When air finally became a problem, they reluctantly pulled apart. Both of them were breathing heavily and felt their bodies becoming heated.
"Not that I'm complaining, but what brought this on, Tiger?" he asked, resting his forehead against hers.
Trini smiled seductively as she tightened his arms around his neck. "I can't wait anymore. You have been nothing but supportive and patient since our progression towards something more and I realized that I can't keep you in the dark for much longer."
"So what are you saying?" Jason asked, looking a little bit confused.
She leaned over and captured his lips with hers, kissing him passionately before tearing her lips away from his and looking deeply into his brown eyes.
"I'm saying...that I want you to take me to your bedroom and take off this baby doll dress I'm wearing just for you. I want you to make sweet, passionate love to me until I can't walk. And I want to fall asleep and wake up in your arms tomorrow. I'm ready to give myself to you: mind, body and soul."
"Are you sure about this, Trini? Because, let's be honest, once we cross that line, we can't go back. And, I don't wanna go back," he told her, kissing her forehead gently.
She grinned foolishly at him. "I've never been so sure of anything in my life. And, I don't wanna go back, either. I want to go forward with you. I want you so much."
No more words needed to be said when he scooped her up in his strong arms and carried her, bridal style, upstairs to his bedroom; intending on showing her how much he truly loves her.
Good thing they don't have to work tomorrow.
