Author's Notes: Hi, readers. I'd like to present a new Power Rangers fic. It's an AU with no Ranger powers whatsoever and has characters living normal lives. It focuses on the original six with the primary focus on Jason and Trini. It takes place in 1996. This fic was inspired by AvalonBay's "I'm Home," where Trini is facing an arranged marriage with a young man she knew as a little girl. Unlike that one, Trini has already rebelled against her parents by starting an affair with Jason. They haven't found a husband for her yet either. I learned arranged marriages are not unheard of in Asian society, especially Vietnamese. This will be a rather short fic compared to most of my chaptered ones. It has sexual content. If that makes you feel uncomfortable, don't read the parts that have it. Otherwise, you may read it at your own risk. If you are into Jason/Trini, check out Ms. Catherine Willmon 2017's fics focusing on them. They are great. I hope you enjoy this fic. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Chapter 1: Revelation

Clouds covered the late evening sky above the Scott residence in mid-November. A gentle wind went through the trees. Their leaves rustled somewhat. A great-horned owl sat on a branch in the middle of a tree in the front yard. It spread its wings and flew around. It went past the front of the house. The house was large with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A wooden fence surrounded the backyard. A swing was next to the back door. Two lounge chairs could be seen on the front porch.

Trini moaned while moving up and down on Jason in his king-sized bed in his room. The sheet was wrapped tightly around their naked bodies. The room happened to be medium-sized. It contained blue walls, a pine dresser, and an oak nightstand. A TV sat on top of the dresser, as did a VCR. A desk was next to the window and had a boom box sitting on top of it. Tan carpet was all over the floor.

She leaned down and kissed him hard. She pushed her tongue past his lips and touched his. She smiled at a groan coming from him. Her head flew back when he brought his hands to her breasts and rubbed her nipples. He took one into his mouth. He teased it with tongue, and she screamed estasitcally. He gave the other the same amount of attention. She felt the familiar fire building within her. She was sure it was just as intense in him.

The couple's get-togethers weren't like most. In fact, they were the result of them starting a passionate affair eight months ago. Trini's parents, Victor and Iris, didn't allow her to date because they were planning an arranged marriage for her according to Vietnamese tradition. They started looking for a husband for her at the start of the spring semester of her junior year. She told them she didn't want that, but they didn't listen.

Trini revealed this to Jason, Zack, Billy, Tommy, and Kim, whom all expressed annoyance. Her friends told their parents, but the latter warned the former against interfering because it was her people's culture. They reluctantly agreed. Trini invited Jason over to spend time with her one night while Victor and Iris were at a party at Tim Yung's house. His parents, Derek and Katie, went on a dinner date to Pizza Hut and would go walking in Angel Grove Park afterward. They unexpectedly kissed for the first time. They found they were unable to hold back their desires and engaged in passionate kissing. They removed their clothes and made love for the first time in her bed.

Jason and Trini would sneak out late at night to meet in Angel Grove Park. Their parents were deep sleepers, so that helped them a bit. Whenever either one's parents were gone, they would see each other in their houses. Both usually happened on Friday and Saturday nights. Tommy and Kim found out about their affair three months after it started when they caught them making love in the guest room of Billy's house during a get-together. They, Zack, and Billy agreed to help keep it secret. Jason even admitted he had been jealous of Tommy's relationship with Kim, which started a month after his friend moved to Angel Grove in September 1993. Derek and Katie had gone to Joel Harrison's place to spend the weekend. This gave Trini the perfect opportunity to see Jason. On top of that, she and the others would be spending tomorrow afternoon with him. She revealed she had news to share with him. He was confused, but he decided to keep quiet.

Trini kissed her boyfriend hard. She trailed kisses to his ear. She traced it with her tongue before nibbling on it. He groaned loudly as he took hold of her shoulders. She licked down to his chest. She looked up at him while rolling his nipples in her hands. She smiled when he let out a throaty groan. She took one of them into her mouth. She teased it with her tongue before sucking on it. He growled so loudly that he sent an echo throughout the house and possibly outside. He anchored her head to him when she lavished his other nipple with the same amount of attention.

He felt the fire within him reaching its peak. He slid a hand downward and massaged his girlfriend's clit. She moaned pleasurably, her hands gripping the pillow. She closed her eyes and emitted a soft whimper. They kissed long and hard. Their tongues dueled for control, and groans left their mouths. She tore away from him. She stared into his eyes after opening hers.

"Jason, I'm about to—" Trini started.

He sprung up into a sitting position to grab her hips roughly. He moved her harder and faster on him while thrusting upward into her just as hard and fast.

"Come for me, Trini," Jason commanded. "Come right now!"

Trini upped the speed of her movements. Her head flew back when Jason took her left breast into his mouth and sucked on it. She moaned for a final time as her climax took her in which it triggered his. He bit down on her breast while coming with a muffled moan. Their bodies spasmed against each other. They held each other close. Their heartbeats returned to normal slowly but surely. They panted hard.

Unable to remain sitting up, Jason fell back on the bed and took Trini with him. She rolled off him. She snuggled up to him and laid her head on his chest. She sighed contently at his grip tightening on her a bit. She ran her fingertips over his stomach. He twirled a strand of her hair around his finger. Their breathing was in sync with each other.

"What a great round of lovemaking," he whispered lovingly.

"It will only get better and better," she replied, bringing her hand up to his shoulder.

"Something tells me we'll qualify for the Olympics in the category of sex," Jason quipped with a snicker.

"We will if we keep going the way we are!" Trini squealed happily and took her head off his chest to look at him.

"Then let's go for it," Jason said with pride. "Just don't blame me if we fall off the bed."

"Oh, you are such a naughty boy," Trini cooed. "Yes, you are."

Trini pinched Jason's cheek and spoke baby talk. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand off. She kissed the same spot before rubbing it. She returned her head to his chest. She sighed warmly at his heartbeat. She felt his hand go to her shoulder.

"I honestly believe we will never get enough of each other," Jason admitted.

"As do I," Trini agreed, giggling softly. "We're so irresistible to each other that we can't stay apart."

"Simply irresistible," Jason sang while waving his other hand from side to side. "So fine."

She moved her head back and forth. "There's no telling where the money went."

He growled playfully. "Simply irresistible, she's all mine. There's no other way to go."

The lovebirds laughed heartily while hitting the sheet with their hands. Their laughter got so loud that they scared off another great-horned owl that had been flying by the window. They became quiet after ten seconds.

"I love Simply Irresistible," Jason commented. "I can't resist singing it whenever someone mentions irresistible."

"Robert Palmer sings it great. His voice has a melody that no other singer has," Trini said, smiling lightly.

"It's deep as well. He reminds me of Rick Astley," Jason said, clearing his throat.

"When I heard Never Gonna Give You Up for the first time, I couldn't believe how deep Rick's voice was. I kept thinking that wasn't his real voice. I was surprised when Dad told me it really was his," Trini explained, giving a shrug.

Jason pressed his lips together. "Singers are well known for surprising their fans."

"You're right about that," Trini agreed and flicked his chin. She jumped at his pinching her butt. She narrowed her eyes at him and balled her hand into a fist. "Don't touch my butt again or else, you little pervert." She let out a playful growl before flaring her nostrils.

"Or what? You going to punch me in the chin like you did when I came to see you last Friday while your parents were at a medical conference in Jersey City?" Jason asked and sat up to hover over her.

Trini shook her head. "No."

Trini pressed her fist in between Jason's eyes. He groaned and fell on his back. He spread his arms apart before losing consciousness. She leaned close to him. She screamed in fright when he woke up and grabbed her to pull her down on top of him. She ruffled his hair.

"You're a real piece of work, Jason," Trini mumbled and shook her head.

"I'm glad I am. Of course, you're just as good I am," Jason said sweetly.

She giggled. "Thanks."

The lovebirds hugged each other. They pulled apart after thirty seconds. They looked each other in the eye. Trini sighed heavily, causing Jason to become concerned.

"Trini, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Jason, there is something I need to tell you," she said seriously. "Do you remember two days ago when I fell asleep during Ms. Applebee's fourth period world history class?"

"Yes, I do," Jason admitted. "I looked over and saw you were sleeping with your head and arms on the desk. I woke you up. You craved mayo-covered fries for lunch. Tommy, Kim, and I looked at you like you were insane."

"The next day, I snapped at you when you kept asking me if I was okay. I regretted it," Trini said, frowning. "When I got home from school this afternoon, I started feeling queasy and bolted for the bathroom. I threw up everything I had for lunch. I started to get suspicious and decided to go to the Angel Grove Free Clinic to find out what was going on. Olivia Pearson was the doctor who saw me. She had me give her a urine sample. She tested it and told me it contained a high concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin. She said that hormone was found only in a pregnancy."

Jason felt his heart begin to quicken. "You mean—"

Trini nodded. "Yes, I'm pregnant."

Jason opened and closed his mouth, but he couldn't get any words to form. Trini took a closer look at him, wondering when he would say something. Suddenly, he sat up and looked away. She pushed herself into a sitting position. She clutched the sheet to her chest.

"Jason, I'm sorry," Trini apologized guiltily. "I didn't mean for this to happen. Please, talk to me."

"I can't believe I am going to be a father," Jason whispered, licking his lips. "This feels so unreal."

"Jason?" Trini asked, touching his arm.

He turned back to her. "How far along are you?"

"I believe I am between seven and eight weeks along. We made love most of that Saturday night when you came over while my parents stayed overnight at Tearson Hotel. The conception happened then or soon after," Trini explained. "We've rarely used condoms because we wanted to feel each other fully almost every time we did it. I've never been on birth control because my parents believed it was silly for me to be taking it since I would be getting married and having children in the near future. If we had used condoms more often, then we'd—" Tears formed in her eyes.

"Hey, it's okay," Jason said gently and wrapped his arms around her. He hugged her. "A condom would've reduced the chance of pregnancy quite a bit, but it still could've broken, even when it's used correctly."

"You're taking this so well," Trini said in surprise. She felt him push her back. "I was expecting you to be angry with me."

"How can I be angry at my baby's mother?" Jason wondered. "She gave me an early Christmas present. I'm so thankful for that."

"I do wish we could've—" Trini started.

"I know you do, but there is no turning back. We're going to have a baby. I'll be here for you both," Jason assured in a loving voice.

She felt the tears fall down her cheeks. "Oh, Jason."

She kissed him deeply while wrapping her arms around his neck. The sheet fell from her chest. He slipped his arms around her waist. She broke the kiss and felt him plant one to her forehead. They looked at each other.

"I love you so much," Jason said breathlessly.

"I love you too," Trini answered lovingly. She sniffled as a tear fell down her cheek. "Damn. Things are complicated now. How will we tell our parents that we are expecting a child since mine forbade me from dating?"

"I have no idea," Jason answered uncertainly. "I do know one thing. We wouldn't be able to hide the pregnancy for real long. You'd likely be showing in a couple of months."

"Hiding it wouldn't be good because the baby and I need prenatal care to ensure we are both healthy," Trini commented.

"So true," Jason agreed. "On top of that, your parents told you no sex whatsoever until after you were married." He emitted a heavy sigh.

"They will be furious to know I've been seeing you in secret and that I've been having sex out of wedlock. I shouldn't say that," Trini responded, shaking her head. "We've been making love, and we have enjoyed every time we've done it."

"As for my parents, they made love many times before they were married. They just happened to conceive me after their wedding. They could blow a gasket at the news we've been having an affair and that we are to be parents," Jason muttered in a little bit of fear.

"I know," Trini said and showed determination. "I can tell you this. I don't regret our affair. It's wrong, yet it feels so right. I don't want to be stuck in a loveless marriage with a young man I don't even know. Then again, my parents might choose one I know, but that doesn't mean I'd fall in love with him."

"It takes a lot of courage to go against someone you feel is wrong," Jason said matter-of-factly. "The most frustrating part about this whole situation is we can't even show any affection toward each other in public. We can't risk someone tipping off our parents."

"At least we can show affection when we are alone with Tommy, Kim, Billy, and Zack. It was very funny seeing the looks on Tommy and Kim's faces when they caught us making love in the guest room at Billy's house. Their eyes looked like they would pop out like slinkies," Trini murmured, laughing as she remembered that day.

"Oh, yes," Jason replied, nodding slowly. "I'm so grateful to our friends for helping us keeping our relationship secret. Their parents won't look at them the same way again once they know everything. Still, I have no regrets about this whole affair. It's been nice having you all to myself."

Trini chuckled to herself. She had to admit it had been nice having Jason to herself as well. She wished they could be together all the time, but she knew that wasn't possible. Moreover, she didn't want to think about how their parents would react to their situation anymore. She wanted to do something else.

She climbed into his lap and got her legs on either side of him. She kissed him passionately. She plunged her tongue into his mouth, which made him groan loudly. It dueled with his. He slid his hands into her hair. He grabbed fistfuls of it. She trailed kisses to his neck. She kissed it hungrily. Their heartrates sped up quite a bit. Electricity coursed through their bodies at a rapid rate.

"Oh, that hits the spot, Trini," he whispered. He groaned at her sucking on his neck. "Oh, shit. Oh!"

"Good boy, Jason. Let it all out," she growled seductively. "I'm far from done with you."

Trini pulled back and pushed Jason down on his back. She leaned down and kissed him hard. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and traced every inch of it. He brought his hands to her breasts. He fondled them slowly, almost as if he were teasing them. He teased her nipples with his thumbs, making them harden. She moaned in much delight. They became lost in more lovemaking.
