This was deleted awhile ago on a different account because it was apart of a larger chaptered fic that contained sexual content that went against TOS. So I'm uploading this, my favorite part of the story, here again. I use the dub names in this because I wanted to give them a go. I like using them, I think. Please review. I will appreciate it.
Little Sibling, Big Problems
It hadn't been a surprise when they found out she was pregnant. They had been trying – a lot after all, and it seemed their efforts were well received when, two months after they began their mission to conceive another child, Serenity found herself pregnant.
Neo-King Endymion had wanted to keep the pregnancy a private matter for a little longer, but of course Serenity couldn't stand the thought of keeping her loyal guardians and dearest friends in the dark for too long. She had told Raye first, who had told Mina, who had told Lita, who told Amy, who didn't tell anyone, yet somehow the news still got around to the ever busy Amara, Michelle, Hotaru, and a very surprised Trista (who later was noted for saying she did not see this written in the future, but was happy nonetheless for her rulers). Before long the word spread outside of the Crystal Palace and everyone knew of the upcoming newest royal.
Everyone except the Princess, Small Lady- Rini, of course.
Now, at three months gestation, Serenity was getting ready to go to the royal physician for a check-up when she heard her daughter's voice. "Mom," she came to the Queen, all soft pink curls and frilly lace of her white royal gown. Serenity's heart had jumped into her throat. What a gorgeous little lady her daughter was becoming. She wondered would her next child be as elegant and beautiful as Rini was becoming. True, the Princess still had a bit of brattiness lingering inside her small being, but she was slowly becoming an admirable young woman with a pure heart and dreams. She would be a fine queen one day, but for right now she was just her little Princess.
"Yes, sweetheart?" Serenity motioned for her daughter to take a seat next to her on her bed. The Princess did so quietly, her head lowered, she was deep in thought.
There was silence between the two for a moment, neither speaking. Really the two hadn't chatted much as Rini had only recently came back from her trip where she had been training. Now that she was back though things were slowly becoming normal yet again.
"Mom, is there something you want to tell me?" she finally asked, her wine red eyes boring into Serenity, though not unkindly.
Serenity thought for a moment. Unsure if she was ready to tell her daughter as she was quite unsure how the not-so little girl would react to the news of her becoming a big sister. She had, after all, for many years been the one and only royal baby. Wouldn't she feel intimated by the new arrival, she would if she were anything like her mother.
Well, I can't keep it from her for much longer, she thought. "Yes, Rini, there is."
"I thought so," the Princess nodded slowly. "I've been hearing some things..." a small smile was pulling at the corner of her lips as she looked up at her mother expectantly. "Well," she urged. "Go ahead."
Spurred on by her daughter's good mood, "Yes, well," Serenity fought to grasp her words, she wasn't sure how to announce this to her only daughter. Taking her daughter's small hand in her own, "Small Lady," she saw her daughter give her a displeased look at the mention of her old nickname. "Excuse me, old habit," Serenity laughed, "Rini then - or have you taken to Serenity lately?"
"Rini is fine," the pink Princess nodded.
"I'm, well, you see…your father and I are, well, having another baby."
"Oh mama I - Wait –YOU'RE WHAT?!" the pink haired girl immediately jumped off the bed and onto her feet, her eyes wide with surprise. "You are having a baby?!" she squealed, obviously disbelieving her own ears.
It was Serenity's turn to be surprised now. "Yes, of course, I thought you had heard things about – "
"I heard I was getting a puppy!" Rini whined indignantly, she placed her head in her hands with a groan, "Not that you and dad were having another kid! No no no no no!" the girl chanted.
"A puppy?" the Queen repeated, still confused.
"And here I thought you were just getting fat!" Rini exclaimed loudly.
"Fat?!" Serenity repeated, her eyes narrowing in anger.
"Oh no!" Rini continued, unfazed by her mother's intense glare. "This is just great!" she said with exasperation, hands now wringing through her pink locks. "As if my life wasn't hard enough! First being a Princess and then a Sailor Scout of love and justice..."
"Rini…"
"Now I'll have a little brother or sister to deal with on top of all that!"
"Small Lady…"
"Something that poops and vomits and cries all the time! I won't get any sleep I bet! My life is over!"
"Princess Lady Serenity…"
The mention of her formal royal name finally caught the pink haired girl's attention.
"What?" Rini asked, her eyes shining with the tiniest bit of anger. It was obvious she blamed this all on her mother.
"Sit down," the Queen patted the spot on the bed her daughter had occupied earlier. Slowly the Princess settled down and took a seat. "I think you'll like it," Serenity told her daughter. "I think you'll like being a big sister, you'll – "
"No, no I won't," she replied, her arms crossed on her chest, her lips poked out as she pouted. She was acting like a spoiled little Princess again, not the beautiful young lady she had become…
She's acting like me when I was her age, Serenity noted silently. Oh how much her daughter reminded her of her when she was younger.
"You won't know until you give it a shot." Neo-Queen Serenity continued, trying to erase the unhappy look from her daughter's delicate features.
"Well," Rini finally turned to her, suddenly hopeful, "If I don't like it, which I know I won't, can we put the kid up for adoption?"
"Rini!" the golden haired Queen squeaked incredulously.
"Just kidding, geez, mom," Rini sighed. She was kidding…well, somewhat.
"Did you like being a big sister to Uncle Sammy when you were my age?" she then asked, and she saw Serenity's gaze falter for a moment. The girl smirked in triumphant. "Well, did you?" she prodded, already knowing the answer. "Was it a magical, happy time in your life having an annoying little brother that pestered you nonstop?"
Her daughter had her there. Patting her child on the back, "Well, Uncle Sammy was and still is a demon, so I don't think that's a fair comparison. But, this baby will be sweet and kind and special, just like you,"
Rini rolled her eyes at her mother's sweetness. She didn't say it, but Serenity knew that sometimes Rini missed her constant bickering with Serena and wished her mother was more like her former self...it would make things a lot easier.
"Moooom..." the girl bemoaned. "I really, really, really don't want a little brother!"
"Well, let's hope you get yourself a little sister and not a pesky little brother like Sammy," was all the Queen could say to the Princess. "Let's hope."
"Hmph." The Princess responded before rising from her spot on the bed and walking briskly over to the large room's door. "Where is papa?" she asked.
"In his study, I believe, why?"
"He and I need to have a very serious and long discussion about this. I blame him just as much as I do you, you know. But I'll forgive you both if you buy me lots of ice cream and keep the kid outta my room at all times," and with that Rini left her mother's room.
Serenity shook her head, "You are so much like Serena Tsukino its not even funny...and I'm not fat."
End.
