Serenity


"I thought having to tell mom and dad about another bad test was hard," thought Serenity. "I have to tell them everything about being Sailor Moon, the Silver Millennium, and Crystal Tokyo. I guess I will break the ice by telling them that we are going to finally have a baby and that it is Usagi. Shingo might believe me since he has been near some of the battles. I wonder what Naru and Umino will say. I know we have drifted apart but I did not want to keep putting them in danger."

"Uasko we can't keep standing here on the steps," Mamoru urged her.

"I know Mamo-chan but this is worse than having to give mama another failed test," answered Serenity. Taking a deep breath Serenity knocked on the door.

"Coming," Serenity and Mamoru heard Ikkuo yell from within the house. Opening the door Ikkuo immediately pulled her daughter into a hug. "I know I should be used to it but I still can't get use to the house being so quiet without you."

Stepping in the house and taking off their shoes Serenity asked, "Is papa here? There is something that Mamoru and I wanted to talk to you, papa, and Shingo about."

"Shingo is in his room and Kenji is in his study," answered Ikkuo going into the kitchen.

"I'll get dad," Serenity told her mom, "Could you wait in the living room Mamo-chan? Mom can you get Shingo?"

"No need," Shingo said sliding down the railing.

"Young man what have I told you about that," Ikkuo yelled at Shingo coming out of the kitchen.

"Sorry mom," answered Shingo bowing.

"What is all the noise?" Kenji asked coming from his study. Seeing Serenity he wrapped her in a hug from behind. "How is my little bunny princess?"

"I am good daddy. Mamoru and I came to talk to you guys," Serenity said as the five made their way to the living room. "First things first," Serenity looked at Mamoru and smiled. "Mamoru and I are going to have a baby."

Jumping up Ikkuo ran to her daughter. "I am going to be a grandmother?"

Serenity smiled bigger and nodded. "We just found out a week or so ago." Then Serenity turned serious and whispered, "Now time for the hard part." Shingo and her parents looked at her confused. "Mamoru and I already know what we will call the child."

"Then how is that hard," asked Kenji.

Serenity sighed, "We already know the baby is a girl."

"How if you are only a week along," asked Ikkuo confused.

"I will explain everything but also you must know you have already met our daughter, Chibi Usa," Serenity said as her parents and Shingo's eyes grew wide at hearing the baby's name.

"Chibi Usa," Shingo whispered thoughtfully. "That name kind of sounds familiar but I can't put a face with the name." Serenity pulled out the only picture of Usagi that did not vanish after she went back to the future the first time. "She looks like you but I do not remember where I have seen her."

Serenity looked at Mamoru and sighed. "Anyways what I came to tell you is that I am really the reincarnation of the princess of the Moon. I was originally born over a millennia ago on the Moon. It was a time of peace known as the Silver Millennium ruled by my mother Queen Serenity. I am also Sailor Moon."

"Yeah right and I am Tuxedo Kamen," replied Shingo with a snort. "Sailor Moon is brave and not a klutzy, crybaby like you."

Serenity just smiled as she stood raising her hand above her head. "Cosmic Moon Power!" Her family started at her with Shingo finally being the first one to speak.

"Eww! I had a crush on my sister," yelled Shingo running out of the room causing the others to laugh.

Serenity undid her transformation and sat back down. "Are you okay honey," asked Ikkuo.

"Yeah," she said, "Remind me not to do that for another nine months." She began her story of the Silver Millennium and her reawakening as Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity in this life.

"We believe you," Kenji told Serenity, "But we still do not remember the pink haired girl you keep talking about."

"Maybe I can help," Luna said walking in the room.

"Who said that," Kenji asked looking around.

"I know that voice," Ikkuo said as she too looked around the room.

"The cat talked!" Kenji yelled.

Picking up Luna Ikkuo said, "So you are Usagi's imaginary friend. I always heard Usagi talking to someone and thought she had an imaginary friend even in high school but it was you."

"Mom aren't you freaked," Serenity asked.

"Not after what you just told us. Everything makes sense now," She replied with a smile.

"Cat. The cat talked," Kenji stuttered.

"Yes honey the cat can talk and right now better than you can dear," Ikkuo said with a laugh. "If you can talk Luna I bet that white cat that I would see around here and with you can talk also." Luna jumped from Ikkuo's arms and sat on the table in front of the couch. She started to stare at Ikkuo and Kenji as the crescent on her brow being to glow. After a few minutes the crescent stopping glowing and Luna jumped in Serenity's lap.

"Was that wise Luna? What would Pluto say?" asked Serenity.

"It is okay," Luna said waving a paw. "I asked Pluto if it was okay but only they will remember and until Usagi is born and reaches the age when she first came here only your family and the other Senshi will be able to see her in the pictures."

Serenity got up and pulled out a family album and sure enough there were pictures with Usagi when she first came back to the past. She handed her mother the photo album with a smile.

"I remember her," Ikkuo said amazed staring at the photos. "I just looked at these yesterday and she was not in any of them."

"This is amazing," Kenji exclaimed.

"Soon there will come a time when the Earth will freeze and everyone will sleep for a thousand years. After that Crystal Tokyo will be created and the world will be united under one rule. That rule will be Mamo-chan and I. We will be the King and Queen of earth." Pausing Serenity looked at her parents and quietly asked, "Will you still accept me?"

"Honey disowning you were never a though," Ikkuo said with a smile, "Maybe when you were in middle school but never since you graduated high school."

Serenity smiled and hugged her parents. "Thank you," she said with tears in her eyes.
