Chapter 1: Gone, Before Here
Neo Queen Serenity stared unbelieving at the small room around her, one decorated in pink and white bunnies, surrounded by a painting of the Crystal Forest. Pink stars and silver moons had been painted onto the ceiling, making the feel of the room definitely 'girly'. The soft plush carpet was white, the curtains on the large window white, and the crib in the center was a clear crystal, and the safest one any baby could be laid in to sleep. Every safety precaution imaginable had been integrated into this room at the very beginning of the Palace's construction, for that inevitable day when the Queen would conceive her daughter and heir, Small Lady Serenity.
Tears trailed silent paths down her cheek as she surveyed the room, mourning the loss of something that would never be.
Every time Serenity had visited Mercury for a checkup, the Senshi of Ice had been nervous, and had grown more so with each passing visit. A year from now Small Lady Serenity should be coming into the world, she knew this as Pluto had told her of Small Lady's birth date, and the Queen had been anxious to be in perfect health for her conception. She had eaten very little of the sweets she loved, and made sure that her body had every single vitamin and mineral, in a steady amount, that Mercury told her she needed… and while the Neo Queen was in perfect health, she felt as though her efforts were wasted.
Her latest check up was today, and tears had glittered in Mercury's eyes as she told the Queen her results… 'I'm sorry Serenity-sama, but I'm afraid I have bad news. Your use of the ginzouishou when you were younger took a greater toll on you than we expected. I'm so sorry… but you can't conceive a child.'
Her sorrowed words were a million knives into the Queen's heart, shattering her dreams of those wonderful times she would spend with her daughter, annoying though she was to Serenity's younger self. She had loved her daughter dearly…
Her tears slipped from her chin, darkening the pink of the crib she stood over. Fate had been too cruel… Slowly she sunk to the ground, pulling her knees up to her chest, her expression much like the one she had worn when she hid in a phone booth after Endymion had made Mamoru break up with her. Her shoulders shook as she tried to contain the sobs that threatened to overtake her, determined to somehow maintain her dignity. Eventually though, she couldn't help herself, and gave into her tears, managing at least to sob quietly.

To Be Continued:
So, what did everyone think? Loved it, didn't care at or didn't understand something? Should I even continue?
